I just downloaded the trial of cs5 and it is GREAT! What I'm wondering is when you import content from an XML file, how do you make the text flow from one box to the other. Right now text in the first box changes but the text in the second box keeps whatever original content was in there. Is there a way to make the new imported content flow from one box to the other?

I'm trying to insert some data into my DB from two Combo Boxes in Flash. I'm not quite sure how to go about it. I have no idea how to give the combo box a 'var' value like we do for a regular textfield.

I've had a site running for a few months that takes fourinput text boxes (name, e-mail, subject and message) and posts thevalues to an ASP page which composes an e-mail with a CDO.Messagecommand. For some reason (nothing has been changed in the files or onthe server), it stopped working and I've traced it down to Flashpassing Input Text Box Formatting information along WITH theariable.Can anyone explain what's happened and how to correct it?For example, in my form I've set all the name, e-mail andmessage to static text and let the Subject variable be passed andin the e-mail subject line, I get this:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P
ALIGN="JUSTIFY"><FONT FACE="American Typewriter" SIZE="12"

I'm making a program that draws a grid of boxes and the color of the box must be different to those adjacent to the box. My code compares the current box's color to those to the left and top. If any of them matches, it picks another random number (as the color). For the tiles on the first row/column, I make my grid's array indexes with negative numbers -1 so that it will not match.
What I have:
private function fillArray():void {
grid = new Array();
grid[-1] = new Array(-1,-1,-1,-1,-1); //paddles the grid[-1][0 to 4] with -1
for (var i = 0; i < HEIGHT; i++) {

The code I'm building creates two MovieClips on the stage, in one it instantiates several text boxes and in the other some buttons.
What I can't do is access data from the text boxes (e.g. textField.text) for use in the functions called by the eventListeners attached the buttons. I had the system all working nicely before I placed the text boxes and the buttons on separate movie clips.but this structure makes it much tidier to refresh the text I'm using.The button functions are fine with variables created prior to the building of the text boxes.
Am I failing to address the text boxes correctly (because they're on another movie clip) or is there a stage / movie clip property I need to set so they can see each other ... or is this something else altogether?Could it be that the buttons are created before the text boxes?
Whenever I add a new layer, it seems to be linked to my 1st layer.If I delete something on the stage on the new layer, it's also deleted from the 1st layer. If I try locking the 1st layer, anything on the new layer-although not locked itself -can't be selected.

View 4 RepliesI am using the loader class to load an external swf and attach it to an empty movieclip, the final step follows:
// function loadComplete(e:Event):void {
mc_launch.addChild(gLoader);
MovieClip(gLoader.content).gotoAndPlay("start");}
When navigating away from the movie clip, it's dumped as follows:
MovieClip(gLoader.content).closeAllStreams();gLoader.unload();
The linked swf has two important frames in the beginning. The first frame is labeled "hold" and has the following:
var gSC:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var gSCBusy:Boolean = false;var gSlideIndex:Number = 0;
var gAudioPosition:Number = 0;
var gPlayList:Array = ["start","slide01","slide02"]
var gAudioList:Array = ["intro.mp3","",""]
var gRunMode:String = Capabilities.playerType;stop();
The fifth frame is labled "start" and the singing and dancing begins from there. The stop(); function in the first frame is used to prevent the loading swf from executing before its 100% downloaded (I had some early trouble where the music would start before the screen assets were in place). My problem: This works perfectly the first time the linked swf is downloaded and attached, however, if you navigate away and then back I get the error "gSlideIndex NAN" which indicates to me that the first frame in the linked swf is not executed on subsequent attachments, the playhead jumps straight to "start" and my globals are never declared. Why would a linked swf execute frame 1 the first time it's attached to mc_launch but not the second?
Sounds simple enough. I have a number of swfs (quiz01.swf, quiz02.swf.....) all linked to one quiz.as file. The quizes in turn are loaded by another swf, Main.swf. I need to get the name of the specific quiz that is loaded, so I can identify an external xml file.
Tried using the "loaderURL" in the as, but it gives the name of the Main.swf. How can I just get the name of the swf that is associated with the quiz.as file?
I have an external .flv and I simply need to be able to pause it with a frame action and start it back up with another frame action.I found some references to "flvStream.play" through google but I haven't been able to properly implement it.
View 3 RepliesI've got an FLV video linked to an external SWF (a substage) that is itself linked to another SWF (the main stage) The FLV plays fine if I publish and run the substage independently but when the substage is loaded into the main stage at runtime I lose the video, all the other screen elements from the substage work fine. I thought it might be a path issue so I hardcoded a fully qualified URL as the video source with the same results; works independently, fails when loaded into the main stage at run time.

I have one scene linked to another through a button, when I click on the button that links to scene two it takes me to the scene but doesn't play the animation it just shows the non animated components. Is there something really obvious I am missing here because if I go to the scene (when I am not testing the movie) the animation works perfectly.
View 1 RepliesI'm having an issue with getting a simple flash image swap file displaying on a website I'm building and was wondering if anyone can tell me what I've missed. I built the image swap slideshow which is just a simple blend through four images. It uses the loadMovie to import the images from the directory the movie is sitting in so the loadMovie command just references the jpg files directly with no extra directory info. The swf file and the image files it loads are all in a subdirectory off the root called flash. The page I want to display the swf movie on is actually the index html page in the root directory of the website. So I used this html to display the swf file.

View 2 RepliesI have Adobe Creative Suite, but I haven't begun to learn how to use Flash yet. I work primarily with PHP using Dreamweaver and have a very basic understanding of JavaScript.I just discovered a really cool script here. The page displays a Flash image map of Africa and a table listing every nation in Africa. If you hover over Kenya on the map, Kenya is highlighted on both the map and the table. Vice versa, if you hover over the word Kenya on the table, Kenya is highlighted on both the table and the map.
I would like to duplicate this on my website. (It's in the public domain.) So I copied the source code, then began recreating the style sheets, JavaScript files and images. When I view the page locally, I see the Flash image (map of Africa). But when I hover over a nation on the map, it says "undefined," rather than showing the name of the nation. The table listing the nations doesn't display at all.
Does anyone have any idea how this affect is created? Can you offer any tips that might help me recreate it on my site? It appears that AJAX is another technology used on the page. That's something else I have no experience with, but I'm not sure if AJAX is associated with the Flash map/table function or not.
I'm practice with Flash, and trying out different things, but somehow, I managed to create a movie symbol from a graphic symbol, and now whenever I try deleting one of the symbols, it effects the other symbol as well.
I only want one of these symbols, yet I can't seem to only keep one. They both seem to depend on each other, and I don't know how to get around this.
I have been struggling with what seems to be simple concept in ActionScript 3.0 - how to communicate between classes. I have a very simple experiment with two movieclips on the stage. They are named YellowBox and RedBox in my library. I have linked the following code to the YellowBox movieclip:
package{ import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.events.MouseEvent; public class YellowBox extends MovieClip { public function YellowBox() { this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, rollOverHandler); } public function rollOverHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { this.x = x + 3; } }}
What I would like to do is call the YellowBox() function on my RedBox MovieClip with the following code:
package{ import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.events.MouseEvent; public class RedBox extends MovieClip { public function RedBox() { YellowBox(); } }}
I get the following message when I compile: 1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 1.
I work in Flash CS3, AS3.I've created a button that links to another webpage by using this code (the code is added to a separate layer):
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
steud.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
[code]....
It works just fine, but the problem is that I want to add more buttons (and links) to it, and thats where I get stuck. When I try just adding a new layer and adding the code there, everything stops working. I've also tried copy/pasting the code beneath the first one, with no results.
I have a child SWF with a linked sound that I want to control from the mother SWF. In the child SWF there are different linked sounds in separat frames. The "Control system" is in the mother SWF.
View 8 RepliesI have a main movie on my site with buttons that display linked movies in the right half of that main movie. One of the movies is the kind that I only want to play through once, then stop. In the FLA file of that linked movie I've put a stop(); action in the final frame, and when played alone it stops accordingly. But when it plays as a linked movie, it continues to loop.
