I'm looking for a button component that allows me to customize the text field.The Flash button component allows me to edit/reskin everything except the text field. However, I can change the buttons textField via AS, but only during run time, I want a button component that allows me to change the text field so I can see the button on the stage with out having to compile a swf.
View 4 RepliesThis DataGrid Components is giving me a massive headache. It's a massive pain to customize.I do some work for a graphic designer, who has given me a picture of an element which I'm to implement in an existing AS2-based Flash project (targeted flash version is not important). Here's the picture for reference:
Trying to make the default DataGrid work like this I'm quickly figuring out is nearly impossible. Firstly, I don't think it's possible to make alternating rows fade out like that. I'm willing to accept the fact I'm doomed to solid-color alternating rows for now.
My main problem at the moment is that I can't figure out how to change the size of the header. I need a larger font for the header than the items, and I need the size of the header itself to expand. Neither of which I can figure out how to do.
So does anyone know a) how to change the headers on the DataGrid, or b) where to find a more flexible (in terms of skinning) DataGrid component for AS2 which is cheap (preferably free)?
I have a component "child" which has a cancel button. Now this component is placed in a state called "newChildComp" I also have another component called "parent". In the parent component, i have a button that dispatches an event. Here is the event code:
[Code].....
so, basically,i am checking to see if the cancel button component in the Child component, while i am still in the parent Compoent, was clicked, if it was clicked, call the cancelButtonHandler. The problem is by the time the addNewChild handles the event, that cancel button was still null. My question is how do i solve this without using the itemCreationPolicy on the cancel button?
I'd like to use a button within a component to remove it. So, you click it and the component is gone. But, I haven't figured out how you reference the component from within the component. What should I put in click=""?

How would I add a scroll bar to the galleries that have more images than the stage can fit? Is there a way to add another text field that would have the ability to be a link? Also how would I add custom CSS to the XML - it is formated differently than XML I have done this to before.

View 1 RepliesAn observation about the configuration files (XML) of FMS. When we roll out new versions or upgrades, it almost always involves updating or modifying the files in the conf/ directory. If it's within a certain revision, we generally copy them over from the previous install and it's fine. In the case of FMS 3.5, new configuration directives were added which necessitated our doing a fresh reconfigure to ensure everything was accounted for.
What I believe would make for an easier configuration process is to utilize the inheretance aspect of XML, allowing for a LocalSettings.xml file which would be read in by FMS last, overriding any default settings thus eliminating the need to alter the default *.xml files. Any new settings introduced that require changes can be imported as needed.
Overwriting the stock conf/*.xml files with new information would not interfere with your custom settings as they would remain intact in LocalSettings.xml. Any conflicts could be reported to the logs or stdout. One exception being fms.ini -- which could easily be revamped into XML and used in the above model.

View 1 RepliesI'm currently learning ActionScript 3 and am having some problems getting some classes & functions that I have created to work when I put them into reusable .as packages. While I understand the basics of AS3 & OO programming I'm getting a little miffed as to why my code is not working.
I've created several AS functions such as a preloader function, reusable button function, customized context menu function etc. which all work perfectly if I place the AS code on the main timeline of the movie, like so:
=======================================
// Creates a new context menu object (myMenu)
var myMenu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
// Hides the default items (zoom, quality etc.)
myMenu.hideBuiltInItems();
[code]....
I don't get any error messages, but the customized context menu (with default items removed) is not appearing when I compile the movie.
My initial thought was that the script might not be running through, so I put a trace in, if I uncomment that line of code I get "testing" on the screen so the fuction is running through.I have a feeling, and I could easilly be wrong, that its because my "this.contextMenu = myMenu;" action is not attached to the main timeline so cannot display the customized context menu. If I'm right, how would I go about getting the action to attach to the main timeline.
i only know basic flash editing I took on crash course...

I want to make a game where a user logs in. Once the user logs in, they have access to a database (let's just say a database of weapons). They could choose a certain amount of "weapons" and every time they log in, they still have the same weapons, regardless of cookies, because the "weapons" are linked to their username. Then the users could use their weapons to battle other users. Also, the user's username keeps track of their wins and losses. I have newb to basic flash knowledge (I took an animations class); I could animate, make buttons, websites, etc. Does anyone have some insight that could point me in the right direction?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a simple "universal" media player which presents the same user interface (or as similar as possible) for video and audio playback. Unfortunately, FLVPlayback seems not to be able to handle audio files as far as I can tell, so I'm using a Sound and SoundChannel.
My video playback is handled using an FLVPlayback component which is "wired" to standard controls on-the-fly when needed. What I want to do is wire them to the Sound / SoundChannel when I'm playing a sound so that the same UI widgets work in both cases. I'd like to avoid building all my components from scratch because the FLVPlayback component does a lot of nice stuff "for free" but it's starting to look tricky.
The standard PlayPauseButton is a MovieClip with two layers, one containing the Play button (and with the instance name play_mc) and the containing the Pause button (pause_mc). Inside one of these is a movie with some code like this:
stop();
this.upLinkageID = "PauseButtonNormal";
this.overLinkageID = "PauseButtonOver";
this.downLinkageID = "PauseButtonDown";

I'd like to learn how to use Components in Flash, and the documentation and tutorials I find are beyond my comprehension. I usually go to FlashKit and just rehash someone's code... but again, I'd love to learn how to use Flash Components.So I did a tutorial on the toggle button, but it was:1. Click button, and a window pops up at different location on canvas2. Click button again, and the same window dissapears.This is for a videogame, and I'd like a button to be click and that same button be populated with a new graphic. What I mean is, the graphic is a skull, and I'd like to have it start as a dark skull (as if a negative value) and when you click it the skull appears... click it again and it's gone (or that negative or dark skull representing it's off).So this differs from the tutorial I did because the pop-up window is the button itself, and the window that pops up would obstruct me from click it again.
View 3 RepliesI'm building an flv player using the cs4/as3 video playback component as a basis with custom buttons on the interface. I'm trying to figure out how to do rewind or fastfoward using a button instead of a scrub bar. I've seen plenty of tutorials on how to develop a scrub bar but I can't figure out a way to apply the theory to a button you hold down and it fast forwards/rewinds until you mouse off.
Obviously a mouse_down event only fires one signal and causes a jump effect if you click repeatedly, so is there a way of firing multiple events whilst holding down the mouse button?
Code:
flvPlaybackComponentname.seek(flvPlaybackComponentname.playheadTime + fastForwardSeekAmount);
to achieve the skip through the video, but this only happens as I said with multiple clicks.
Can I add a button to a component to make the window clode itself? Here's what I want to do[code]...
View 1 RepliesI am creating a button component in AS3, the idea of this button is that you can set its parameters to the name of movie clips you want to use as its images (mouse up/over/down etc).So basically it's a button that you can easily change the appearance of, and this would be reflected in the preview on the stage. I made this component in AS2 and it worked very well and was very useful.
However there is a problem with this component in AS3 - When I create an instance of my button component and try to set images for it (remember these are the names of movie clips in the library which have been exported for actionscript), the preview of the button component does not show the images. When I compile the SWF the button component does show the images ok though.
When my button component redraws itself, it looks at it's parameters and calls getDefinitionByName to create an instance of the correct movieclip. I am guessing that the problem occurs because the movieclip I am trying to instantiate is not in the component's library, it is in the library of the project I am using the button in, so maybe the component doesnt know what that movieclip is?
But it's odd because when I compile/publish the SWF it works, like I said, it's just the preview of the component that doesnt work, and that's kind of the point, being able to get a preview of the button so it can be positioned and sized correctly.
I know I could get it to work by putting the movieclips I want to use for the button into the button component's library, but that again defeats the purpose of this component.
I've got what to small problems when using my slider component.I'm building a small quiz and I am using the slider component to let the user rate their opinion. It'd be great if I could make the slider play the movieclip (to the next quiz questio) when the user has cast their opinion -on mouse up. Is this possible.Also I'm using a 'score' uint variable to collect the polling results but I need this variable to reside on the root of my flash file so that I can add to it from various diffrent movieclips. How can I target the variable from a movieclip.Heres my code:
import fl.events.SliderEvent;
voteSlider.value = 5;
voteSlider.addEventListener(SliderEvent.CHANGE, voteCast);[code].....
This is what i would like to target in the root
var score:uint = 0;
I was wandering if you could have a button or a movie clip in a component list If I was bringing in data from XML I would use addItem & Label: and then labelFunction to add a string ect, but how can i add a button to each label/item. I have googled this but have not found anything I am guessing that maybe you cant if so what other options are open to me. The list contains tracks and each one must have a button to download and also another to add to a playlist. The music plays when the item in the row is clicked.
