01 02 03 04 I'd like to make cliccable every page to do something on a rollover and a onRElease.
can I do it ? or I can covert a Textfield to a Button? or it's better to create a button and then duplicate it and changing the innter text ?

How do I manage to force dynamic textfield create with actionscript to act like a text created with textool
I have a project which has loads of FLA's with embedded textfields on the timelines. We now need to localize this project into Arabic, with right-to-left text (pulled in from XML) - my understanding is that this is only possible with TLF textfields.
It's going to be a huge task to manually convert all these texfields to TLF. Is there a way to programmatically set a normal textfield to be a TLF textfield?
Could someone please outline the proper syntax for formatting text in a dynamically created texfield using actionscript 3 please? I understand the textColor but for some reason txtfld.textFont = "Verdana"; doesnt work for me.

Is it possible to have a textfield with a Dummy text (for animation purpose) and then replace that one text from XML? When i try to do it i only get the letters from the Dummy text to te there if the dummy text has the same or some letters that the XML text have.
If my dummy text is hello and my xml text it sweden i only see " e e " when i run the flash file.
For a project, I'm making an interactive side scroller.You move the character with the arrow keys and press the space bar to interact with things.So far, I followed DexNote's tutorial on YouTube.I thought that I would make the interactable objects as buttons, while the mouse focus would be on the character and when you press the space bar it make a mouse click in that area.The trouble I'm having now is that I don't know how to make the space bar trigger the "interactions."

I am working on a Heads up display and I am having some problems. The Problems are i cant seem to get Flash to do what I want...I am relatively new to flash but I know that I need to use action script 2.0 and Kismet to make what I want happen. (I am using the UDK and Scaleform for the development of the game I am helping with)Here is what I am doing.
I am making a cross hair. When I highlight an enemy it should turn red. When it Highlights an ally it should turn blue.I have made a heart beat Monitor that needs a animation for a heartbeat and Flat lining. The Background of the Heart beat monitor Changes color according what has happened to the player, If the player Gets hit the background of the heartbeat monitor changes color.

View 2 Repliesit seemed like a simple process but I cant seem to get this right... I got a button there, but the URL wont go, ie, the click does nothing.I imported a PSD layered image to Flash CS3, into a new blank layer. I need basically an area of this PSD to be "image mapped" so what I did was create a rectangle with the rect tool, over the area I needed the hot spot.Here I tried to do a transparent box and border (alpha 0) but the outline is still there even though the box is "empty." I did select the transparent box, no color, and tried alpha, both same result)I made that into a symbol, then I double clicked into there to fill in the key pts for the over, hit, etc., states.... I dont have any effects here btw, as simple as we can get.After that I right clicked on the buttonand entered the action script ("reserve" is the name of my button symbol)
reserve.onRelease=function(){
getURL("http://www.redeggnyc.com/menu2.htm");

I have 4 small invisible buttons on one timeline. Each of these small buttons loads an external jpg into a movie clip container.I want each one of these external jpgs that load into the same mc container to go to a new web page. I am trying to do this with a invisible button that goes over where the external jpgs show up. What is the best way of doing this?
View 3 Repliesim making a button and on the rollover animation I want to have it splatter paint, only thing is I dont know how to get an image into flash that doesnt look crappy. I know that I need a vector image, but im not familiar with vectors as I usually use photoshop. I tried using a photoshop brush image, a simple paint splatter in which I was just going to tween to a larger splatter but like I said the image looks blurred because itsa bitmap.
another newbie question, but when you make an animated button, is the background included in the animation? Like lets say I import a button, give it an animation to glow on rollover or something, if i went to use that .swf would the background that it was placed on show? or would it just be the animation that shows on the default web browser background.

Have you ever had to make sure something is loaded on screen before another method occurs?? This is driving me round the bend!
So basically I have a method that makes the system freeze for half a second while it loads some data
on press of a btn to request that data, first thing I want to do is add a loading icon.
I then make the request for the data.
Problem is even though the load icon code is set before my data request method. Its doing the request before it adds the loadicon!
So I have tried to use listeners like ADDED which are trigged but still it seems the loadicon only appears after the the request method is made.
My code looks like this.
Code:
loadingicon = new loaderIcon();
loadingicon.addEventListener(Event.ADDED, doit);

View 7 RepliesI have a simple text field that is read only and it's very long, so I just want to use a scrollbar on the right-hand side. I dragged a UIScrollbar component to this text area, I lined it up, same height, and even named the text area as the scrollbar's target, but when I compile the swf, I get a blank scrollbar next to the text and 2 other scrollbars off the the right of the text!!! I also tried adding the scrollbar via code with the same results.
