I have a problem with multiple listeners. Basically I have a box which displays some text and when I hit the space key additional text from the box appears. But the problem is the space key also starts the game.
I want the space key to first display the additional text then hitting the space key starts the game.
So, any ideas how I can use the space key twice without disrupting the first key press?
i am a newbie flash designer. a client has asked me to make modifications in a flash file used on his website. it is flash 8 actionscriptfile which i decompiled using sothink decompiler 4.5 build 90120 to '~divisions original.fla'. the xml folder resides in the same folder as ~divisions original.fla. it contains divisions.xml.i discovered a problem - if you view 'divisions.swf' - when you click on 'retail visual solutions'and scroll to the bottom, you can see that there is no space after the text. the end of the text aligns with the end of the scrollbar. but when you click on eyesite, and scroll to the bottom, you can see that there is space after the text. the end of the text does not align with the end of the scrollbar.
my additional questions are:has the creator of the swf file used some unique scrollbar code or is this scrollbar provided in flash itself. in this case, i can read a tutorial to understand it better.i have given 'is correct - no space at bottom of text.jpg' and 'is incorrect - space at bottom of text.jpg' to further explain my query.
i have a scrollbar in which i want to add additional text field. i can add bitmaps, but when i put new textfield, it doesn't display, even if i convert it to movie or graphic.
View 3 RepliesIs there a way to eliminate additional spaces in text variables? Example: The forum already eliminate the spaces. Imagine that "_" is space on the following sentences:
text = "__________KirupaForum______is_the__best____Flash_ tutorial____site_of_the___World_______"
Eliminating spaces...
text = "KirupaForum_is_the_best_Flash_tutorial_site_of_th e_World".
I have a Send to a Friend form I modified from lewip's awesome xml newsreader slideshow. [URL] I have everything in the text inputs being passed correctly, but I would also like the email sent to contain a small amount of text, that the user does not input, to explain why the recipient has just received the email. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be awesome.

It seens perfct but I can't see it work. The funny thing is that the custom currentBubble - with a dot after you see the code hints but a dot after pb100 - you see no code hints. Well not normal.
I'm just wondering if it's possible to have a page of text that is 'invisible' (for want of a better word) and when you move your mouse over the page, the text appears in a circle (of whatever radius) around the mouse point.The text would be clearest and darkest at the mouse point, and fade out towards the outer circle, and 'appear' smoothly as the mouse is dragged around the white page.
View 3 Repliesthese are dynamic textfields, and everything is tweened from alpha 0 to 1 at inital loadand this screenshot is taken like one second before second one; look at the first picture, the text is all nice and crisp:now look at the second one, when it tweens to alpha 1, it looks like there is a "second pass" of text over the inital one it looks like it doubled itself:
View 2 RepliesI have a complex workflow movie that is almost entirely loaded with dynamic text populated by XML files. The problem is that when I view the movie the dynamic text doesn't always appear on some frames. If I click back out of the frame and then click back into it the dynamic text appears.
To simply what I am talking about:Frame 1 has a button on it that opens frame 2.The button on frame 1 is clicked and frame 2 opens however no text is displayed.The 'back' button on frame 2 is clicked returning the movie to frame 1The button on frame 1 is clicked and frame 2 opens again, but this time all the text displays as it should.The coder bangs his head on the table and exclaims 'WTF?'

I created a site for a client and they are experiencing something weird with the top links in the base SWF. The links appear to be distorted or doubling up. I don't have anything extra in the MC. And what's worse is that I can't see this effect on any of the computers I have. They see it on their laptop.
I've attached a screenshot from them.

Here is what I have: And here is how it is being displayed during the animation:

View 1 Repliesive been trying to get a mouseover working but im having some trouble.
I need it so when i mouseover a movieclip text appears in a textfield at the bottom of the stage.
also when i click the mc the text stays there as im dragging it into the correct location.
The code runs fine, but the problem I'm having is that the text box that is suppose to go onto of my answer buttons is behind the button itself... however, if I change two lines of code around, the answer validation code doesn't pick up the which answer was clicked (it returns undefined). This is infuriating!Look for the line "//INSERT HERE." If I take the line, "var answerField:TextField = createText(answer,answerFormat,answerSprite,0,0,450);" and put it there instead, it returns the right answers (doesn't return undefined), but I can no longer see the text. I've included the createText function as well.

View 2 RepliesI am dynamically loading text into a text area. I want the text area to have set dimensions, but the text itself to resize in order to fill up the whole text area container.For example a short line of text would be made a bigger size than a large line of text but each would perfectly (or near perfectly ) fill up the same X by Y sized text area.I have seen a lot of posts about resizing the text area to comply with text, but I want to do the opposite - resize text to comply with text area.
