View 1 RepliesIs it possible to create a invisible mc with in 2 other invisible mc's and if so would there be any complications. Im trying to do something similar and it gets to the second layer but then doesnt want to load the third inv-mc. Like loading an external swf to a container mc then in that same mc have another external load and then another.
View 3 RepliesMy problem is that when I click the letter movieclip it does create the duplicate as it should and it starts to drag the duplicate mc. However, when I release the clip it doesn't stop dragging? I realized that if I put onMouseUP event instead of onRelease it actually does stop dragging when I release the mouse. I would, however not like to use the onMouseUP event if possible.

If I have an object that calls
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, update);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, update);
will that add 2 listeners?
I am having problems dupliating a movie clip. I can make a duplicate from an original but when I edit the duplicate it also modifies what is in the original. (I am just changing the text, thats the only difference between the 2) How come it effects both clips when I only change one?

View 16 RepliesI am using Flash Professional CS4. I made 2 buttons (2 rectangles,each turned into a symbol of type button). I now want when I click 1 button that the second becomes invisible. Is there a way to do so?

After a few years of using Flash I am creating my first project in AS3 and am running into some problems which are quite common involving targeting movieclips and controlling them. Basically I have a fla which has an MC on the timeline with an instance name of INFO_MC. Now i want this MC to be invisible when the swf starts and I have managed this by using the following code: Actionscript Code: INFO_MC.visible = false;
This is fine. However I get stuck when I try to make INFO_MC visible when I click a button in a loaded swf. How would I target INFO_MC from a button inside a loaded swf. Do I need to add an event to the button and then have a listener on the root timeline which would turn INFO_MC visible when it hears that the button has been clicked?
I have created 3 invisible buttons over a graphic. Each has its own button layer and action layer. For each action layer I have used:
my_button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHandler1);
function clickHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void{

When I test the movie I see the hand icon so I know it's an invisible button, but when I click on it, it goes out of the flash play like it wants to go to a browser, but nothing happens. When I upload the files I can see the hand icon again, but nothing happens when I click on the link. I tried the changing the .html file that it is housed in to an .htm file, but that didn't work either.
I would like to have an invisible drop target so I can dropand item and have it go to another part of the training. However,if I create a rectangle as a sprite and don't fill it in, itdoesn't recognize it as an area apparently because nothing happenswithout a fill color. I tried just a regular rectangle, shape, etc.
View 5 RepliesI have a loader that is either not visible or behind some other display element that I have on stage, and am trying to figure out how to get it visible. I can get this to work fine when I isolate it, but when I implement this in my larger project, things appear to load fine, but it does'nt ever show up on the stage. I'm using addChildAt() to place it at what I think would be the top layer on the stage. In the code below, the disaster_ load_complete is called, and I'm able to query the properties of the loaded object (such as it's position, size, parent-- which is the Document--, etc).
View 1 RepliesI am embarrassed to admit that I am still working in Flash 6. But I am. I do not have the ability to upgrade at this point.

View 1 RepliesI have two motion-tween animated movie clips used as "buttons" which I would like to link to various html pages on my site. Using invisible buttons works, but I can no longer see the animation. If I put it under the movie clip layer, it no longer responds. Is normal, or should I place the invisible button within the editable movie clip?

View 3 RepliesFlash cs4 was installed and worked fine until lately. I cannot draw, use pen, shape tools, or load any previous pictures created in flash using the actionscript 3.0 new doc create. When I click/drag-- the image is there, but as soon as I unclick the image dissapears. Properties inspector shows that there is content but they are invisible. .fla files that I hve created and saved before open, but page is blank. The weirdest thing is that when I open a new doc using the AS 2.0 selection, everything works fine.I am somewhat coherent in the basic functionality of flash, and have tried the obvious i.e. fill and stroke colors, but I don't remember changing any settings.
View 8 RepliesI'm sure this is something easy that I'm missing, but I can't figure it out. How do I make a button invisible? I need it to be invisible through frame 43 of my movie. I have tried changing the alpha to 0, but it's not letting me change that, except in the edit button mode which changes it for the entire duration and not just through frame 43.

Just curious, if I have a sprite on the stage with the alpha set to 0 does that take up just as much memory as a sprite that is visible? I imagine it does because it draws the sprite to the stage and then it has to set the alpha to zero.
