Clicking on the html tag with asfunction doesn't work this way. I have to move the function part inside the myTextcontent.myMenu timeline to make it work. Instead of moving the function inside the movieclip which asfunction is targetting I would like to keep it all together. Is this possible? Perhaps some way to add a '_parent' code to ik looks for the function in the same layer as the asfunction line? Or some html back slashing so it moves up the 'tree' so it finds the function in the same timeline?
There�s a great tutorial for sending and loading XML (in AS2) here:[URL] However, I�d like to have an equivalent in AS3. I�ve attached my attempt, but it doesn�t work � even though it doesn�t throw any errors. (PS: there are similar examples 'out there' for Flex but after buying the book 'Learning AS3', by Shupe/Rosser the example in Chpt 14 doesnt seem to work whilst I cant find anything of use in O'Reilly's AS3 essential book).
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to fix a piece of flash code that sends variables to a vb script that updates the database. but whatever I do, the database is not updated and there is no variable sent back to the flash. Here is my code:
Clearly I'm sending two vars (pos and user) to the script and should get re_pos and re_date values back. But I get nothing. The code used to work when sendandload uses GET instead of POST. But now neither works. POST option returns no error in the Flash testing panel and GET give me a "script URL not found error".

I'm new and am having a bit of trouble loading one swf into another for a preloader and main program. If u open up flashSite.fla or the swf, everything works, but when I load it into a mc container of preloaderMomSite, the animated buttons no longer work. If someone could take a look, I would love to find out what I'm doing wrong. All files are located on in the same directory.

The problem I have is simple: the play and load functions doesn't work in flash CS4 as defined in the documentation: URL...So to speak, I can only define like this: URL...My flash player version on all 3 fla files that I use is set to 10.And now with the GREAT issue I can't set startTime for the video and this is just GREAT.
View 6 Replies[MX] I'm loading an infinitly scrolling swf into my main swf. When it loads however it doesn't work properly, because all the pixel values in the origonal code do not match for its location in the main movie. I know I can change the AS with new value and make it work, but I am wondering if there is another way. I'd like to be able to move it around and always have it work without changing it. Is there a way I can have the loaded swf retain its OWN origonal x,y cords? or some other method of doing this?
View 2 RepliesI'm using LoadVars to load variable data into flash from a .txt file.Pretty simple - when uploaded onto a server, I can see the data loaded but no one else can, not even other accounts on my computer!Could this be a CHMOD permission problem? Could this a problem with my AS? A problem with directories? A problem with URLs?Anybody have a good method that simply loads vars from a .txt file and can also do it online?
View 2 RepliesI have a big problem - I decided to make a website using flash as I am good with photoshop and thought it would be fairly easy to construct in flash using tutorials. All went well except now the website is published, weird things happen. The homepage works fine but when you click on "portfolio" some of the buttons don't appear and when you try the buttons, some images don't appear. Occasionally some of the buttons take you to the wrong place also. When I test the movie in flash, everything works fine so I can't work it out. I am a complete novice so advice will have to be spelt out in black and white.

View 9 RepliesI have a slider with arrows on the end to operate/advance it. If you hover over an arrow the slider slides. When you roll off/hover off the arrow the slider stops. The problem is that if you hover off to quickly it still thinks the cursor is over the arrow and it continues to slide. Is there any way to address this?
View 1 RepliesI got a Parent Sprite, let's name it SpriteP, which holds inside it two other Sprites. Sprite1 and Sprite2.[code]Sprite2 is a rectangle. When I rotate it, of course, the height of its parent, SpriteP, GROWS. But I would expect that height to go back to what it should be when I'm removing Sprite2!And it does! If I remove Sprite2 while NOT being rotated, the height of the parent drops back to normal, 200.

When Sprite2 is NOT rotated:
Code:
trace(SpriteP.width + ' ' + SpriteP.height); //100 250.
SpriteP.removeChild(Sprite2)
trace(SpriteP.width + ' ' + SpriteP.height); //100 200. -> works, 200 is good.
When Sprite2 is rotated at 90:

And it does! If I remove Sprite2 while NOT being rotated, the height of the parent drops back to normal, 200. But if I rotate Sprite2, the Parent won't update its bounds.
I decided to try to use setInterval for myanimation, which is just a mouse trail.However, I'm trying to get teh mouse trail to be a dynamic mask.In my previous swf this was achieved by using a holder mc with the animation inside and then using this as the mask. But this time I just canpt seem to hit on the right way to get it to work. The code I am using for the mouse trail is:
Code:
var i:Number = 0;
var myInt:Number;
var t:MovieClip;[code].....
in the function, but now the trail doesn't resize and the mask still doesn't work.
I have a button object that I need to scale to align with the variable width of an array of images.However, when I set the width in code, the button does not actually become that width. Tracing out the width gives me the correct value, but on screen.. it's off.
I've proved it to myself by scaling the same button object manually in the properties pane and visually comparing. Both of the buttons below have a width of 410.
Code:
navigatorDown_btn.width = 410;
navigatorDown_btn.x = (stage.stageWidth/2)-(navigatorDown_btn.width/2);
trace(navigatorDown_btn.width); // output: 410
I am trying to modify the hover caption tutorial from here at Kirupa to load the text in the caption from an external text file. Could anyone give me a hand trying to figure this out?I tried the simple way of loading external text but because the text is loaded in a MovieClip this does not work. Here is my code for the hover menu that currently loads the text dynamically through ActionScript:
MovieClip.prototype.resize = function() {
var w = box.caption.textWidth+0
var h = box.caption.textHeight+0;

I'm working on a map project with several movie clips that are dragged and dropped onto their respective movie clips.
PROBLEM: Initially, draggable movie clips are reduced their original size. When they are dropped onto their matching movie clip, I would like them to take the dimensions of the movies placed on the map. How to do that?
HERE IS MY CODE
stop();
var startX:Number;var startY:Number;var finalX:Number;var finalY:Number;
var finalWidth:Number;var finalHeight:Number;

I am having some problems with clipAndEnableScrolling, it works fine for VGroup when the parent has fixed height, but if the parent doesn't have a fixed height then it doesn't work and the content spills over. e.g:

<s:VGroup width="100%">
<s:Group width="100%">

Does anyone know why I can get a handcursor over a clip with graphics, but as soon as the mouse goes over a textfield it reverts to a pointer?[code]I have to set mouseChildren = false in order to get the finger pointer to come up over the entire clip:[code]I have to disable mouse interaction in order for buttonmode to be respected mouseChildren = false;Is there some property of the TextField I can set in order to have it react to mouse events but not affect the cursor?Or is the only solution to set mouseEnabled to false, or to place the textfield in an intermediate Sprite?
View 5 RepliesI have placed 3 movieclips named mcParent, mcChild1, mcChild2 and 1 textbox in flash. child are childrens of parent movie clip. child1 and child2 both are of sizes 300 whereas parent movieclip is 600px, textbox is placed inside child2 movie clip .
I have made the flash to auto resize according to the screen area. Everything works well, but after resize it resizes parent and all childrens and textbox which is correct. The problem is with the correct placement of textbox on mcChild2. I have seen that after resize, mcParent width and scalex both changes but the child clips doesn't changed its sizes even they are stretched but there sizes are not updated due to which I am unable to get the exact location of where to place the textbox.
I have created a custom component - MyImage - that has two children including a Bitmap as well as a Sprite.My display object hierarchy is as follows -

I have a swf that is pretty complicated, you can interact with the page and go to different keyframes and it stops and/or starts depending on buttons, but I want to put it in a fla or something so I can put other swfs next to it and build it up and put several of them together as one.
I don't care about making it too complicated, I just want one interactive swf to go to the next compiled swf when that movie ends, but when I try importing it or loading it it just runs straight through without stopping or paying any attention to the scripting.
[code]All clips are squared.Ok, on the PlayerPlane, there are little soldiers, which have hotkeys. The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]

I'm having a problem, where random IE's are not able to display my .swf file. All the IE's are IE8 with the latest flash pluggins and all security's are set at Medium, however some IE's get just a grey box and other's get the full flash file. What's going on? It works fine in Safari and Firefox of course, but why so much difficulty with AS3 Flash9 in IE? here is a link to the site, and it's the big image changer at the bottom of the front page.
