I'm working on a project that has multiple 'scenes' located on each frame. In one scene, if you click on an object it disappears. I did this using the visible = false method. However, anytime you return the scene after, the object is visible again. How would I write the code so that it stays invisible permanently when you click it, regardless of whether or not you leave and later return to the scene?

I'm trying to make a game, but I'm stuck on a few conceptual parts that I'm not sure how to handle.
I want to create an object that changes its picture when I click on it. My idea was to have a creature that once you click on, changes to a different state. For example, you have a picture of a balloon and when you click on it, it plays the animation of it popping.
I have no idea how to do that, I've looked at buttons but it doesn't seem to persist in the state once you click on it. (or maybe it does and I'm just not doing it correctly?)
I'm trying to make one of these hide background buttons. I can't figure out how to hide a object. So when you press hide background, the background object gets hidden.

I want to introduce my hide/show code to this code but dont understand how to do it. What I want is that if I enter ''image1'' in my Passwordbox, my ''image1'' object show/hide. If I enter ''image2'', my ''image2'' object show/hide. Can someone help me with this?
There is something I have been trying to figure out how to do, I keep running into needing a simpler bit of code to hide all the movieclips except the one that was just made visible. My only idea so far is to manually input all the movieclip names and tell them whether or not to be visible. It works, but it creates a lot of code and is time consumming to change. I hope there is a way to use just one or two lines of code and hide all but the currently selected movieclips.

View 1 RepliesOn my HTML page, I have <div> with an <iframe>, which references another page, that contains a Flash SWF object. If I set any of these:
display:none;
visibility:hidden;
opacity:0;
filter:alpha(opacity=0);
on the <div> that wraps the <iframe>, the SWF object sometimes remains in plain sight, while the <div>and <iframe> go out of view as expected.

This should work in the latest versions of Safari, Chrome and Firefox on a Mac and in the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer on a Windows 7 machine, and it should fail (no errors but the hiding behavior doesn't occur) in Safari on a Windows 7 machine.
It might be pertinent to note that one thing I've noticed about the SWF objects that have passed and failed are that the ones that have failed all revolve around video content whereas the ones that have passed don't. Granted I haven't tested more than a half-dozen objects, but that's quite a coincidence. :)
im building my site now and i want to have background of hexagons that get visible only when the mouse is at certain distance of them, so i found out that i have to use as3, ive read some tutorials and other post and i tried the following code that i found online:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, showDistance);
function showDistance(e:Event):void{
var distance:Number = (circle.x, mouseX, circle.y, mouseY);

im using stopAllSounds();command to mute all sounds, and it works fine with sounds that are already loaded (background music), but if there is button which triggers some new sound (after activating mute button ) or any other function to import new sound object you still can hear it despite stopAllSounds();.which command to use to permanently block all sounds already loaded and those which can be triggered by future actions.Now i have stupid situation> background music is muted but you can still hear sounds when cliclking buttons (which is ok but NOT in muted stage).

I have a main swf which has sound on/off buttons. It has many SWF's which are loaded into different placeholders at different time. All of them have different sounds in them. In addition to that there is a music loop going on in the background.Now, this perticular swf lets call it Father will be placed in some swf later on. What I'm trying to do right now is when the sound off button is pressed turn off all the sounds permanently so the child swf's and their sounds stop too.I have found a way in AS2 :
global = new Sound( ) //no movie clip target path.
and add the following code to your off button.
on(release){
global.setVolume(0); //mutes all sound
}[code]....
which ofcourse does not work for AS3. So how can I stop all sounds permanently in AS3? Secondly what if I have one sound (my background loop) which I want to keep going on.
if you can do with the files that were loaded through the Loader class (or another class) remain permanently on the computer of who uploaded the application. That is, even if the person closes the browser or shut down the computer, the files remain on your computer. So when the person is running the same application will not need to wait until the files have been loaded (via download).
The person will enter in the browser page where the application is already included and you can use this application, without waiting any time since the necessary files are not on the computer. If any new files later arose in the application, this would be the only file to be loaded (downloadable) for the computer, which already found the other files that have already been loaded at another time. I can do this in actionscript 3.0? Note: Do not bother with my English because I'm using the google translator.
I have a 'room' movieclip with 4 frames each representing a different view (N,S,W,E). I have a different shape object in each frame. The shape objects all subclass a generic shape class and consequently disappear onClick. The problem is that they reappear when the frame is revisited. I've used event.target.visible = false in the generic shape class. I'm wondering if there is a way to 'permanently' remove them through the generic shape/parent class? I'm trying to avoid a rank of if functions and use a catch-all if possible.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to remove an enemy after I kill them and I just started working with code in .as files. The enemy has it's own logic in a .as file and when I use removeChild, the movieclip is removed, but the logic continues to attack the main character (invisible).Is there a better way of removing the enemy character permanently. It kind of scares me that the method I use could just be leaving invisible movieclips on the screen as well.I've tried everything that I have used in previous games: removeChild(EnemyArray[i]);And this, which causes other problems with my code but removes the logic: EnemyArray[i] = null;But these still cause the problem.

Is there an ActionScript that I can have for example layer 1 play through and display permanently then layer 2 plays and does the same thing, layer 3... so on and so forth one after the other until all the images are shown?I've searched all over but every ActionScript code pauses the entire timeline.
For some reason Adobe doesn't allow us to change the size of the handle in the default slider component. This handle is small and hard to click on quickly. If you try to increase the size of it graphically it just gets resized back down to 13x13 pixels. I've looked into the Slider.as code found in:
Program Files(x86)/Adobe/Adobe Flash CS4/Common/Configuration/Component Source/ActionScript3.0/User Interface/fl/controls/Slider.as
And found that on line 803 there is the code thumb.setSize(13,13). I tried changing that to 60,60 but it doesn't change the size of the handle. I don't know much about classes and I didn't think you had to compile these. I thought that in Flash when you clicked on the Components button that it loaded these classes in at that point but I must be wrong.
ActionScript Code:
override protected function configUI():void {
super.configUI();
thumb = new BaseButton();
thumb.setSize(60, 60);
