I'm working in Flash with a XML menu.
The idea is: when you click on a button from the XML menu it should take me to a Label in Flash.
I'm using the following CS3 code to call on the XML;
//The path for the XML file
var xmlPath:String = "menu.xml";
//We will store the loaded XML to this variable

I was wondering if it was possible to access nested labels or labels in nested movieclips?

getting 3 errors on this code. They all are 1119:Access of possibly undefined proper *whatever* through a reference with static type myBtn.The button is the library is called myBtn and it is linked to the myBtn class. I think the problem lies in the textbox label on the button. I am not sure how to access that label with actionscript 3.0 or how to get the label to display a unique label for each of the children.

I have a mainMovie clip that consist of different movie clips. Inside of my mainMovi I have another movie clip that is called "Menus" this where all my navigation is but the frame labels are inside the mainMovie.
[Code]....
I have a problem with the animation of my main character. What i've set up is one MovieClip. Within that movieclip there are different animations, such as idle, walking, jumping. All of those start points are marked with a label. I'm coding everything using classes, so no code on the frames.
how do I loop it? Is it necessary to place code on the frames, at the end of each animation?
i don't understand why flash does not want to read the labels. i couldn't attached the file because it's too big...can anyone tell me how i can attach the file? the file size is 688kb.
View 3 RepliesI build a web site in flash using lables and one of the lables is video. I put video in the video label. When I click to go to anyother label, the video is still playing. what code I would write when I click off the video label the video would stop playing. It sounds like some if statement.
View 5 RepliesI have to display a multitude of labels on-screen without overlap.The label positions should be as close as possible to the features they describe. The features may be points, lines, or polygons on-screen (imagine any variety of map).I have to satisfy the following requirements in my application:labels must be positioned to avoid overposting (overlap) with other labels..labels must be positioned to avoid overlapping with other features (polygons and line segments) optimum position for a label is above and to the right of the feature they describe below and to the right is less acceptable least acceptable positions are to the left.I need to come up with a method for doing this.Before I just start attempting to do this at random, I am hoping someone here may have already done this and be able to give me some advice as to where to start.Basically, with the labels, I could use bounding boxes to compare them to each other. Although I don't know a good way to do this. With the line segments and polygons onscreen that they are labeling, I really don't have a clue what I should do to avoid overlap. I am hoping it won't require much more effort on top of avoiding the overlap of the labels themselves.
I think repulsion would work if I only had to deal with labels overlapping other labels. But if I have a line segment drawn across half the screen, I don't know how I can avoid overlap with that using the repulsion technique.The language I am using is Actionscript 3 and the Flex framework. I don't believe Flex has any layout manager classes like there are in Java Spring that can do this work for me.Anyway, links or suggestions would be welcome. I can allow for some brute force; I don't see how I can accomplish this otherwise.
I can run the code below, where the answers are dynamic text boxes hovering over the buttons. However, the user can't click the button where the textbox overlaps it. I need a way to either assign button labels like the 4 text boxes below or make it so the textboxes do not interfere with clicking the button?
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = "http://localhost/connect.php";
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);

Update: I found the following to change the label, however I am confused as how I do this to buttons I have already created, perhaps using the instance name?
var myButton:Button = new Button();
myButton.label = "Click me";
I have a list component that has hard-coded labels on it (for testing). I then rotate the list component 90-degrees and notice the text disappears(during design time).
I test the file and the labels do not show up also during runtime.
I can get the labels to show if I rotate the component back to its' original state.
I am working on a game and would like to put code for different levels on the same timeline layer, mark the frames with labels (level1, level2...) and add different action script to it. Can this be done, and are there some limits. It is a small tetris like game, and each code would be mainly adding children to a stage, from an array and checking for a collision with objects added on a different layer on the same frame as the label. Also it would change score and so on.

View 1 RepliesI have an array that holds a list of items. In a movie clip, I have that same list as the frame labels. I'm using a for loop to iterate through the array and then assigning event listeners so that when you roll over an icon, it sends the movie clip to the right frame label (matching the item in the array).
However, the code I have now only returns the first match and not any of the others. Here's my code:
Code:
for (var j:uint = 0; j<interiorCallouts.length; j++) {
featureTextArray[j].text = interiorCallouts[j];
featureArray.length = interiorCallouts.length;
[Code]....
See the showCallout function. I'm using the interiorCallouts array to match the frame label in the callouts_mc, but I'm only getting the first match. None of the others.
I'm trying to build a menu system which populates itself by parsing labels from the Flash timeline. As well I have a requirement to keep this all within one FLA file... so no classes or XML files. After 2 days I'm pretty close here, but have a problem with mouse_out's. I'd like to be able to move my cursor up and down the popped-up sub menu, but as soon as my cursor leaves the first sub button it triggers the mouse_out function.
I want the mouse_out to trigger only when the cursor leaves the entire sub-menu, not it's children. I believe this is a traditional problem and there's solutions but after 1.5 days of tuts and threads I haven't been able to manage it. I think I may just have to tweak how I deal with the submenu array.
I have built a couple of sites in Flash, however, I have a problem with a current site I'm working on. My client wants various photos to fade out in a "checkerboard" fashion, which I am doing via its own movie clip and adding in the appropriate area on the main timeline. However, when I add a blank keyframe on the following page to add a new movie clip (with the next set of pictures, the timeline starts playing through the entire website, not recognizing stop actions or frame labels.

Is it possible for Flash or possibly Adobe AIR to have access to a local Access database?
I will have either a Flash EXE or AIR application running on a local PC (WinXP). The PC will also have a local Access database. I need my Flash application to get the data from this Access database. How would I do this?
I doubt it can be done with Flash or AIR alone (someone prove me wrong or right), but is there an option for some middle-man application to access the data base and send it on to Flash? How would this work?
Or could I read the MDB file into Flash and parse it myself? is there a library for this?
I am using anchor labels for a new site and it works good in firefox but in IE it is going though each anchor till it finds the correct one. You can see it going through the labels in the address bar and a clicking noise for each one, besides the fact its ugly it takes a while to go through them all. You can see it here -[URL]
View 1 RepliesI use scrollbar at the bottom of the timeline to go to different frames. This is slow if I have thousands of frames. I wonder if there is a similar interface like the Actions window for labels on timeline. I mean you can see all the scripts at left pane and be able to go there directly by clicking on anyone on the list. I would be nice if you can see all your labels in a menu and click to go there directly (I believe Director has that). Maybe I can put some dummy script in different label and then I can use Action window to travel to there.
View 2 RepliesHow do I add a label to a button? Using a component button, in CS3 it seemed quite straightforward however CS4 has me stumped. I am trying to make up a website with a row of buttons across the top to appear in all the pages. I have a controling page names portfolio.fla and several other pages to link in with this one. I have placed a button in the library from the components tab in the windows tab. Then dragged out 5 buttons and have them all working properly and linking up to the other pages, but when I went to place labels on them found myself having problems. Clearly not a good day for me.

I've been looking at this for four days and not getting to a solution. I've got an xml file with patent data, and a .fla that needs to populate a dynamic array of buttons. I've got a trace statement that shows that the xml is loading, and the first button appears, so I know the linkage and naming are correct. But for some reason I don't understand the button labels don't populate with the xml data.
