View 1 RepliesTrying to get a square to change to different shapes when you select a button from the menu, it changes from one size to the next. Can anyone help me find a way to get this done, I am more on the designer side of the board but trying to do the back ground work. It need to change shape back and forth no matter which button is selected, without it looking like there is a hitch in the morphing of the square
View 8 RepliesI never realized that fl.getDocumentDOM().selection doesn't retain the selection order... <sniff>. I was hoping to build relationships based on the order. I guess I took if for granted that tools like Maya and Max store the selection buffer in order of what was selected. I'm trying to avoid: Select Object, <Press 'Parent' Button>, Select Parent, <Press 'Parent' Button>
View 2 RepliesI am new to Flash and this forum, so please excuse what will hopefully be a simple question.I am using Flash to build an interactive video kiosk for a museum that will be playing on a MacMini. it possible to create buttons or "scripts" that can be controlled with keystrokes? For example when you press "K" an embedded video will start playing. Or if you press "D", you could go back to the main menu? I am trying to make it so you can interact with flash via push-buttons, as opposed to moving a cursor over virtual buttons. Is this possible? would normally do this in DVD Studio Pro, but the sheer number of videos will not work in a single DVD project, so Flash is the only option I can think of. As a DVD it works great because I can use the arrow keys to navigate, and the enter key to choose a selection.

how can I change the txtField.text without using the addChild function in the main class?? because the Content Class is already visible when you compile it.. and when I remove the that addChild function, the txtField.text is still in its default value which is "Lorem Ipsum"
OK. So I have a group of radio buttons on the stage. If the user chooses one of the buttons and hits 'Submit' all is fine. If they fail to make a selection I want to show them an error. Using the code below works fine if this happens initially, but if the user makes a selection and hits 'Submit' the radGroup.selection is now true. So now if they do not make a selection the next time, when they hit 'Submit' it does not catch the error.
View 2 RepliesSpecific yet simple problem: [URL] What I want to achieve:
1) after 1st entering, NONE of present input fields[TF] is selected.
2) when i press TAB key[1st time], first TF is selected and cursor inside it is blinking.
3) pressing TAB key repeatedly, i can cycle through all TFs [one by one]. The RIGHT order of CYCLING through TFs is displayed inside TFs.
What i have so far:
1) TAB key press works ONLY AFTER i first click on any TF, TFs are cycled in BAD order. Cursor is blinking correctly.
2) implemented Key.DOWN listener. Works without need to first click on any TF, but cursor inside selected TF is missing which makes orientation difficult. TFs are cycled in the RIGHT order.

is there a way to remove those buttons that are found when we right-click while the SWF file is running? those buttons such as 'play','loop',etc thx
View 2 RepliesI am in the process of learning AS 3 and Flash on my own and currently using the Actionscript 3.0 Adobe Classroom in a book CS4 version. Having a problem with the Lesson Adendum if anyone has done it. This lession requires you to create two buttons. They both draw shapes on the stage. When one is clicked, it draws Rectangles on the stage following the mouse movement. When the other is clicked, it draws Ellipses instead. The problem I am having is that it just draws rectangles and not ellipses when the 2nd button is clicked. Would be greatful if someone could tell me what i am doirng wrong. Here is the code that I have so far. Apologize for the commented out code, I left it in to show what I have tried:

View 3 RepliesI am new to Flash and use Flash MX.I saw a site online that I really enjoyed and would like to make a similar one to it, though I'm not sure what is the best way to do it.The site is http:[url]......html I like how the lines and boxes appear and then the buttons. My question is, what is the best way to do this? I've seen lines and boxes appear and move around on a variety of flash sites, so HOW IS IT DONE? Is it better to create the entire document and have certain sections reveal with a mask or is it better to use tweening to make it look like the lines/boxes are getting longer/bigger? Should action script be used in this sort of thing?

EDIT: Someone informed me that if the variables weren't defined OUTSIDE of the function then they would be garbage collected. I moved them outside but it is still behaving the same.
I have 6 radio buttons spilt into two groups of 3 and one normal button.The first group of radio buttons correspond to colour and the second to texture.My aim is for the user to be able to chose a colour, then chose a texture by use of the radio buttons, click on the normal button named 'create' which loads a corresponding jpg onto another part of the stage according to the colour & texture selection.I am totally stuck on how to code the buttons so this can happen.I'm sure there is an easy (ish) way for this to happen, but i'm no expert and haven't been able to find it or work it out.I've named each radio button individually, grouped the two sets of radio buttons for colour & texture and named the normal button.

I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.
I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,

View 1 RepliesI have a button on the main timeline that works fine, part of the code in the button:
for (b=1; b< dpth; b++) {
var lineMovedx = _root["Line"+b]._x;
_root["Line"+b]._x = lineMovedx-9000
trace(_root["Line"+b]);
It basically moves stuff a person draws off the screen when the button is pushed, there is another button that brings it back. But when I put that same button in a movieclip on the main timeline and change the code to this:
for (b=1; b< dpth; b++) {
var lineMovedx = _root._root["Line"+b]._x;
_root._root["Line"+b]._x = lineMovedx-9000
trace(_root._root["Line"+b]);
It no longer works and the trace shows no output, it basically loses it completely, I can't figure out why it does not work, it seems so simple.
I have made 30 movieclips for my level selection screen. Then I create a movieclip with the same name using a for loop. With that code I make roll_over function showing a Tooltip.
