Anybody know how to create the tooltips show on this website URL...The tool tips will appear when you mouse over the word "location" that is highlighted in blue on the web page. The tool tips will follow the mouse where ever it is within the blue highlighted area.
View 1 RepliesI have a panel movie clip that contains six buttons, this panel movieclip also contains a tool tip movie clip for each button, the tool tips just reside inside the panel movie clip not inside the buttons. When the buttons are rolled over I want the tool tips to appear, alpha from 0 to 1 using Tweenlite. Rather than repeating the event handler code I have used two arrays, one for the buttons and one for the tooltips.
So I need to tell flash that when button 2 for example is rolled over, make tool tip 2 appear. The code I have is below, I think I'm nearly there but this errors. Am I right to use switch?

I have referred this for creating error message tool tips, to be displayed continuously unless the error is resolved by the user. :: [URL]
But, this is being applied to a pop-up window visualized as a pop-up form.
When the user clicks 'CANCEL' button, I want the error message tooltips if present to be cleared off from the screen. The message tool tips remains on the screen even if the CANCEL button is clicked.

My on-staff architect can create photo-realistic renderings of our different models. The question is how would I go about substituting materials for different parts of the home. Would I start with a base model with no textures applied and then have each of the textures or colors applied? Would this be acheived using masks?

View 18 RepliesI have been following several tutorials on how to create a file upload tool, from: [URL] and best off all I have exhausted google and Adobe labs... and I magically have a tool [URL] (left button: browse, right button: upload). Maybe it's a security thing? but my images are just not uploading!? I have fed all information through the text box - which should give you an upload status when you click upload - at least it does on the computer, just not on line. How to check for security or how to interpret the results. Although most of the code I have used is from adobe labs, it has been copied and pasted but not in a lazy fashion, I have learned a lot about the upload tool as I've gone along... well I thought I did, but this is one heck of a brick wall!?

I'm trying to create tool tip rollovers for buttons, a little bubbled message that pops up and follows the cursor while the cursor is ontop of a button. Kinda like the tooltips in windows, instead it moves. Hope that makes sense. the problem i'm having is creating a loop within the rollOver event so that the x/y co-ords for my tooltip movieclip updates each time the mouse moves is there any other way of doing this? here's what i have so far

the problem with what i have now is that the tooltip movieclip doesnt continue to move along with the cursor while on rollOver

i'm a newbie using Flash CS4 and AS3. A retired social worker, I need to create a basic Flash drawing tool for an eLearning project to teach students how to draw their family tree.
The drawing tool would allow the students to add multiple circles and squares to symbolize their family members, plus text labels for names, ages, and they would need to be able to draw connecting lines between the circle and square symbols. Finally, in order to continue work on the drawing, over time, they would need to be able to save their drawings to be re-opened and edited (add new symbols, erase incorrect ones, etc.). Once the drawing is completed, they would need to be able to print a copy.
Being a newbie (but I have done some related scripting: JavaScripting-ECMA-262, HTML, CSS), I am not sure if this can be done in AS3, Flash CS4. But, if it is possible, I would like to learn how to create this.
I was wondering anyone had suggestions for ways to chart data easily from a mysql database.

View 1 RepliesMy trouble is that my project is taking more and more time to be compiled.My preocupation is how to speed up this compilation ?I used now a SSD hard disk and a quad core CPU.Do you think that purchasing an I7 core will speed up the compilation ?
My fear is that it does not bacause Flash CS5 will not take advantage of the multi core.
Is there a hardware configuration someone can advise me ?
I found that .fla files do not save in Flash CS4 when the Deco tool or Spray Brush tool is selected. Is this a bug? Or is there a workaround to this issue.
View 3 RepliesWorking with senocular Transform Tool - How to remove/disable tool for objects Im new to AS3, and i have to use it for my current project. I have used the AS2 Transform tool extensively, but needless to say, the AS3 version works entirely differently.
The way i understand it, the tool applies to and every Sprite , movieclip on stage
[Code]...
im building a product menu that loads a bunch of images through xml and uses one movieclip instance for the texts.URL..So far my code loads the 5 items and gives them 600px of space in beetween. This way i can use next/prev navigation. But the problem is when i reach the last one, it should loop, so that after the last one should come the first one again. And same in reverse for the prev-arrow.I have all this code inside a movieclip that im now controlling with the arrows:[code]And i cant get my head around that where should i include the looping, in pseudocode: "if picture x <= -600 reload it as the last picture && if picture x >= +600 reload it as the first picture"

So why does the Adobe Alchemy Tool create so much faster running flash byte code than the flex compiler?
Also, when will the flex compiler be able to make similar performance gains? Will it require programmer specific use of special Array's or something of that nature to get the same performance?

View 0 RepliesI do know how to use the oval / rectangle and oval / rectangle primitive tools in the tool bar and find them quite useful, but one thing I find confusing is. A oval / rectangle primitive object can be edited later but the oval / rectangle can't. So the point is,how do we use them properly ? when to use ? Why does Adobe Flash still keep the oval / rectangle tool in their product instead of removing them with the oval / rectangle primitive tool ?
