This works fine when I test the movie, but when I load this movie into another movie, it does not work.

This works fine which is great but I would like for it to display information about the link when the user hovers their mouse over the button. How would I do this?
I'm doing a function which checks what button has been clicked on and display information from a XML accordingly. Here it is:

Just started using MX and learning ActionScript. How to make a button rollover/rollout target another movieclip using AS. (Before I was just putting an instance of my _mc on the OVER frame of the button. The problem is, whe I went to the AS menu, I couldn't find tellTarget anywhere. Later I found out its depreciated since v.5. What can I use in MX to substitute for this wonderful function???

Is there a way to dump out all the target info in as3? Basically I would like to know everything that is contained in my target like a var_dump or cfdump for as3. Something that would work like....

I have a movie where I have three head tweens fading in one after the other (they do not overlap). What I am trying so hard to do is to be able to RollOver one of the heads and have information gif "COVER" over the other 2 heads so long as RollOver is true. Once RollOut I want to be able to RollOver another head and have an informational gif obscure the other 2 remaining heads,, and so on.
I am pulling my hair out because depending on the order/level my informational gif will not cover over but lay beneath one of the later heads.
Is it possible to access the type of object being interacted with so I can create a new instance of the same object? So for example in the code below I have the movieclip myItem. After it's clicked it is removed from stage and then moved to the inventory. When I click on it there, is it possible to create a new instance of mcItemToDuplicate using the event information parameters? (while allowing myItem to be where it is).
My code looks something like this:
public function moveclip() {
var myItem:mcItemToDuplicate = new mcItemToDuplicate();
stage.addChild(myItem);

I'm currently working on a flashsite and are trying to figure out rollover menu buttons. The site has 6 menu buttons and are placed next to each other. I want to put a rollover action on the buttons, that when you rollover a button that the whole button image enlarges and moves in front of the other.
View 1 RepliesI want to rollover a button and have it trigger the rollover state of another button. The buttons overlap. The one on top is transparent and smaller than the bottom button. So far I think I have the AS3 to handle the rollover of the top button, but I don't know how to trigger the other button's rollover state.

I want a combo box to display a description of the information in the combo box. The name property is a good way to do this in my opinion "comboBox.name = This is what I named this Box". I have a text field ("textDescription") set to display the name of the comboBox on MOUSE_OVER, but only on the edges does the actual name of the comboBox appear. When in the middle, the textDescription displays "instance #" where # is an actual number. Is there some kind of container placed over the combo box or something??

I'm building a product page, here's the setup:
[URL]
On the index.swf is the main navigation that'll open swf's for the different categories. Those products.swf fills with products via php. This is the working code for products.swf:
ActionScript Code:
var t = "";
var cat:String = "products";
[code].....
Now my main issue is, I can't get the product_info.swf right. The problem is I don't know how you can define the products within the products.swf with a name, so you can tell which product you should display in the product_info.swf
I'm wanting the top 10 scores to display for a game I'm working on. I'm having trouble getting the information to display in a dynamic text box. I've been working on this for 2 days looking at examples and haven't had any luck. I don't know how to get more than one result to show in a dynamic text fields variable. Right now I am getting it to display the very last name in my database. It seems like I'm close, but there needs to be some minor adjustments or something. Could someone give me a suggestion on how to fix this?
Here is my php:
Code:
<?php
//connect to database
$link = mysql_connect(localhost, username, password)
or die("<b>error</b>: failed to connect to database");

I'm using actionscript 1.0 and 2.0 on flash Pro 8 and keep getting an error when I test the movie. Here is the error:

I have a script that loads images and text from an XML file into movieclips.The following code is what creates the movieclips that contain the elements:
Code:
var thumb_mc:MovieClip = _root.mc_conteudo.createEmptyMovieClip("thumb"+(1+i), _root.mc_conteudo.getNextHighestDepth());
var img_mc:MovieClip = thumb_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("img", 0);
I can't seem to find a way to target the thumb_mc or the img_mc so they have rollover effects and actions (they are created for each set in the xml file, so there are multiple mc's)mc_conteudo is the content mc that scrolls.The swf is here: http:[url].....
I have an SQL database setup which contains Herbal Information such as CommonName, LatinName, MedicalUse etc, and need to display the information in a Flash DataGrid Component. I also have the corresponding PHP script to connect, retrieve, add and delete items from the database.

View 2 RepliesI have 3 arrays, each containing a random number of elements.
Lets say: array1(), array2(), array3()
I want to display information from 6 array elements on my stage, ideally 2 elements from each array. However, as the arrays may contain more or less than 2 elements, if an array has < 2, I'd like to make up for it if the other arrays have > 2 by showing extra from those arrays instead. As evenly as possible. I'd like to know at the end how many elements of each array to add to the stage (Maximum of 6 altogether).i.e.If we say array1.length() is 3, array2.length() is 1, and array3.length() is 1 - then I'd like it to display 3 from array1, and 1 from the other two arrays.If we say array1.length() is 0, array2.length() is 4, and array3.length() is 5 - then I'd like it to display 3 from each of array2, and array3.So as to get 6 wherever possible, and spread them out evenly wherever possible.
The animation/rollover works well but it still abruptly stops when I rollover another button. The link below is an example on what I want to accomplish.
View 1 RepliesOk, So I've decided to show some information on my site, but instead of using a static table, I've decided i wanted to use flash.Basically, want I want to do is have 3 bits of information to be displayed in the flash and a start screen.When the flash loads, it will show the starter Screen. From there the user will select either one of the three buttons,which will direct them to one of the 3 bits of information. I was thinking each bit of information on a different frame.How would I link the Buttons to the information?

I'm trying to dispatch a custom event from a custom class (which implements IEventDispatcher) to another custom class (also implements IEventDispatcher) but I cannot trigger the corresponding event handlers.The classes are instantiated at different parts of the application: one on the main canvas and the other on the back-end (data side) of the app. Neither of these is part of the display list hierarchy and I need them to communicate through events.I've looked through adobe docs, the web and Mook's Essential AS3, but have come up with nothing...

my drag and drop target works...sort of. Here's the problem, when the target is dropped it should tell the user if it is correct. It does but you have ot keep drag and dropping all over the target to finally get the answer to display. I have checked the registation marks and stage alignment...nothing seems to work. it should be if you drop it over the hit (instance name) it should immediately display the answer of "correct" Here is the code for the drop target:
