I've got a windows that I can move with the startDrag script. This works just perfectly fine. When I load some text into a textbox inside the mc (window mc) the drag-script isn't working, neither is the close window script. But the text loads just fine. Why is this happening? I haven't changed anything in any of the scripts. If I just delete the loadVariablesNum("info.txt",0); line I can move the windows again.
View 4 Repliesi have a for loop to attach a movieclip X times, and an Array with several color codes to apply in the loop.everything works fine with the setRGB. the movies have an internal background movieclip that gets the color i want to apply.
the thing is the movieclip's loose the animation i created to that internal movie (the one who get's the color). they do not respond to gotoAndPlay, or gotoAndStop...i disabled the setRGB lines, and the movie's play fine now. does setRGB transform my movieclips to a bitmap or something? disabling every animation inside?
So I'm trying my hand at writing my first tower defense game and I've discovered a snag. One part of the game involves keyboard input, but if I click on an object to create a tower, then the keyboard stops responding until I click on the background. My keyboard listeners are attached to the stage and the object being clicked is a button in a MovieClip added to the game's MovieClip.
View 4 RepliesI've created a 3 state button, then imported it to a movie clip. I want to use a set of 6 of the identical buttons as navigation controls, so I've created 6 instances all named uniquely. My problem seems terribly simple, but I can't find an answer anywhere and I've spent hours going in circles.
No matter how I put a text label on the button (right now it is built into the button as dynamic text), when running the final file when the user's mouse is on the text the button cannot be clicked - it disables the button. So I have 6 buttons that cannot be clicked unless the user clicks right on the edge of the button (not on any part of the text). Is there not a simple way to overcome this? How do I make the text part of the button so it is clickable as well?
I have buttons on my main timeline which calls a MC using attachmovie(). I have placed an EmptyMC on my main timleline for the MC to be inserted. Now, this particular MC has buttons on it which work fine. However, when I add a throw component onto the EmptyMC, which basicly lets me drag/throw my attached mc, the buttons are disabled.[code]...
View 5 RepliesI am rather new to AS3 and I have a few difficulties with the new buttons usage. I have a Document Class in which the Keyboard is used to navigate a Child. There is also another Child of a different class, which is kind of a popup box that you can open and close by separate buttons. The close button lies inside the popup box class. However, when I click this button to close the box, removing the Child, keyboard actions don't react until I click on the screen once more.The same happens when I click a button that goes to the next frame, in which the button isn't there anymore, but keyboard actions are requested. But they only work, once I click inside the swf screen again.

When i put a dropshadowfilter on a dynamic textfield with html-content, the links (a href) stop working.The textfields rotate in flash 3D space so they have a transformmatrix applied to them. Could this be the reason? Anybody had problems with html-links and dropshadowfilter applied to the textfield? it makes no difference if you put the filter on the textfield itself or the movieclip container around it.
View 2 RepliesI added a button symbol to a movie clip in a Flash 8 project, and the button works. OnPress it redirects to a web site.However, the animation in the movie clip becomes diabled. I get the same effect regardless of where the button is placed, e.g. scene1 timeline, movie clip, etc.
View 8 RepliesI have a few online magazines I run and I have noticed that when in full screen mode in Google Chrome, all my buttons, everything is disabled I just have a 'hand' for a mouse and nothing works.
My fullscreen option works on all other browsers its only Google Chrome it seems to of disabled any user interaction whilst in full screen mode.
I have tried searching but cant find any similar problems, and need this fixed ASAP. You Tube works in full screen mode on Google Chrome, so it cant just be a Google Chrome bug. Maybe there are some added security features you have to code for in Google Chrome.
Here is a link, make sure you are using Google Chrome or you wont replicate the error.
Try the navigation on the top bar, then click full screen top left, then notice how no buttons work anymore.

Ok, not sure where my other thread is, unless it needs to be manually approved by the moderators? If so, then my bad for making a 2nd thread.It doesn't exactly work... well when I use preview in CS4, it doesn't give any errors about not finding the file on the URL, I tested a fake URL to see if it would give an error and it did. So it is accessing the file perfectly. The chmod is set to 0777 on the settings.txt file.I don't understand why it's not "working" - all I need to do is view the flash file on site1.com - where the actual flash file is hosted on site2.com - I figured that it wasn't working before was because it was loading the settings.txt file from telltarget("..") - so viewing it on site1.com was searching for settings.txt on site1.com (I think???)That's why I need to get the loadVariables() working with a url so that when I view site1.com with the embedded flash file, that it will show it correctly.

i'm calling a php file, which is supposed to make an xml file. whenever i call the php file using this syntax, most of the time i get "cannot load file" in the xml loading section, but this updates the xml file.
[code] loadVariables("http://localhost/file.php",this,"POST");[/AS]
but when i do it this way. [code] loadVariables("http://localhost/file.php",NONE,"POST");[/AS]
the "cannot load file" messge doesn't get displayed, and the file loads perfectly, but this doesn't update the xml file.
so everytime i have to first use "this" and then "none".
what can i do so that whenever php is called, it'll update the xml file, and still load in the swf.
Im developing a game. In some parts, i need to save some info on database (like experience, money, level, ...).
But i cant let people inject code on the server side script (php).
If i send the variables via post, the injector may create a form and send too =(
In php, i've tried to get the referer from where the data came from... without success, from flash, the referer comes null =(
If i make SESSIONs, the injector may enter on the game, after that, he goes to the form to inject the data, the session will not be erased =(

View 6 RepliesI'm doing my portfolio in FlashMX using Actionscript. Everything in that sites has a preloader.
Anyway, in the actual portfolio section I use variables form a .txt to load each work (that way I can add in a more easy way new content). The .txt contains location of images, text shown, titel, and some other variables. Each .txt is aprox. 350bytes.
The problem is that if the variables aren't loaded fast enough the content of each work is shown wrong.
Is there a way to calculate getBytesTotal() for variables ?

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to send email from Flash. The email form is in a movie loaded with loadMovie. When I call the email.php page, it seems to take forever to do its thing and then nothing happens.
I based my script on the flash email form here in the Kirupa Tutorials and I've tried every way of giving the path to my variables - that is, the path to the text fields in the form via _root and _parent. I've tried appending variables the the loadVariables url and just tried posting them. I can't even get any results when I use the print function in the php script. Here is my php script:
PHP Code:
<?php
$name = $HTTP_POST_VARS['name_txt'];
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email1_txt'];
$interest = $HTTP_POST_VARS['interest'];
[Code].....
It seems like my variables aren't reaching the form, but I'm also concerned hat is is taking forever for any data to be returned to the flash movie (I've got an on(data) event on the form).
im using loadVariables to get variables from an asp page
the return string is fine but i cant access variables
so my array is call module and my return string is module[1]=blah&module[2]=blah
in my debugger it shows module and the shows module[1] and module[2] as 2 seperate objects from the array and i cant access the values from module[1] and module[2] even if i rename the to module1 and module2
