View 4 RepliesI have a map of states state when a particular state is clicked on, the fla centers on and zooms to that state. When you click on a state a unique ID is pulled from an xml. Using this ID, I can then call all the counties that are part of this state through the county's xml which is also loaded on my stage.or example if I click on Arizona, it zooms and I get a trace of all the instance names of the counties within Arizona.
//call all instance names of Arizona counties
cldcnfips=(cntXml.Records.Record.(STATE_FIPS==cldstfips).afips.children());
trace(cldcnfips);

I have a file where everything is on frame one, and I have a nav bar. I want there to be a couple of buttons showing up below the main nav bar when one nav button is clicked, then disappearing when any of the other buttons are clicked.
View 1 RepliesI have a flash and want to make it only visible when loading 100%. In frame 1 I write stage.visible = fault; or this.visible=fault;
it doesn't work ! the flash still display !
If there an object is placed on the stage named square and with the document class Main an object was added to square with addchild,if I wanted the square to not be visible but still be the parent while the new object added to square was made visible, how would you accomplish that?
My Trials: It seems if you set the parent to false visibility and then try to set the child visibility to true it disregards that request because the parent visibility overrides it, so the entire movieclip object remains completely invisible.It seems you can make a child become invisible while the parent is visible, but I want to do the opposite.
I have a simple FLA that pans through an image up/down/left/right. There are several hotspots (transparent buttons) that popup simple captions when the user rolls over them and launches a URL when clicked.
The captions are actually one caption that I dynamically write text to, size, and _x, _y locate when the rollover event occurs.
The caption (cap) is a rectangle and text box MC symbol which is grouped with the graphic and buttons as another MC symbol. It all works great, panning, captions.
The problem is, when the mouse is first moved, the caption box appears over the graphic. I want it invisible until a rollover occurs. I have tried a setup function action in the first frame that performs cap._visible = false;, which did not solve it. That syntax works fine following the first rollout.
on (rollOver) {
cap.desc.text = "Mr Reynolds";
cap._width = 7*cap.desc.text.length;

I am creating a thumnail bar having the thumnail of the images, it has the default visible thumbs of 7 images, while the others must be hidden on the right of the bar. I used the code in AS3 to add thumbs in to the bar, the first 7 were fine, but the others still appearred visible and cover the bar border.My thumbBar is simply a rectangle and what i really did was to thumbBar.addChild(thumb). But all the thumbs appeared visible, first 7 thumbs stayed inside the rectange but the others were outside.How can I make the others invisible and turn them visible only when i use with the MouseOver Event.
View 3 RepliesThis is a very simple thing I want to do: show informational popups when an area of the screen is rolled over. I was able to get this working in action script 3 with MouseEventListener and the visible =true/false property but can't seem to get it working correctly in AS2.

View 1 RepliesI have got some images that i have loaded flash from another website.
i have used the tween function to make it move about. i would like to know if there is a way to have many images in the same symbol and change there visiblility so that you can only see one at a time. when i use
Code:
_root.images.image1._visible = false
_root.images.images2._visible = true

This may well just be because it can't be done but here goes.Does anyone know of a way that I can make a MoviecClip "visible=false" whilst stopping just one of its children's, children's, children...etc from also going invisible.I am aware that it can be done by setting them all individually but this will take a lot of code (and I like tidy code...and I'm lazy), and I am reluctant to use a loop as it will interrupt the animation that is going on at the time.

But the child remains visible?
Just trying to save on re-writing a batch of code so its the normal parent child relationship.
I have a movie clip named circle_mc(see the image on the link below) and a mask object(movie clip) which determines visible area of the circle. User can change the portion which is visible (extend the red area and make it red+blue, gray area is invisible). I need to find proportion of visible area to invisible area (red+blue/gray) so that I can calculate angle.

View 1 RepliesHow can i make a combination of keys make a movie clip visible? Basically i want something like this to work:
if(Key.isDown(Key.Alt && Key.A)){
reminder._visible = true;
}
So when someone presses the Alt and A keys down at the same time the 'reminder' mc becomes visible?
I 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?
View 2 RepliesAfter 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?
Ive got my dancing fruit sorted, however when I save the file as an animated gif and put it in my application the gif has the stage background. If it wasnt animated I could edit the back ground in photo shop, but I dont seem to be able to with the animated file. Is there anyway I can just have my dancing fruit with out the stage?
View 3 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.

View 4 RepliesI want to make 5 out of 10 movieclips invisible.
I know this works for each movie :
item1._visible = false;
item2._visible = false;
etc
But whats the correct syntax to do it in the loop. This seems to clear all 10 movieclips.
Code:
for (var y = 0; y<5; y++) {
["item"+(y)]_visible = false;
}
I'm running my head against a wall here and I'm not sure how to tackle this problem. Background I'm making some sort of movie player with subtitles overlayed on it. I'm using the root timeline for my movie timeline because this greatly increases development speed. The subtitles are created with the texttool, and I make them dynamic textboxes because I need to reference them in AS3. I cannot wrap them into a movieclip because they need to be in sync with the root timeline
The user should be able to enable or disable (effectively showing or hiding) the subtitles. The way I did this is by adding an event listener that listens to Event.Enter_Frame on the root timeline and a global boolean to indicate whether subs should be shown. In the enter frame event listener I search for the textfield by root.getChildByName (the name is the same each time) and show or hide the textfield accordingly.

I have a component called "liveTEXT" that I purchased that allows for the client to edit certain text sections to be edited by them on the front end of the site. Right there in the site. The problem I am having is that if I have this liveTEXT on say frame 100, and I go to frame 101, the text is still their overlayed over the content of that page. The text is called with this actionscript in frame 1:
