I'm a complete newbie to Flash and programming, so please forgive my lack of knowledge! I have been trying for a good couple of hours now to do what I'd think would be a simple task - change scene when the value in a comboBox is changed.This is the code I have:
stop();
dropdown.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changemade);
function changemade(event:Event):void {
[code].....
I have a project in which i need to pop up an alert to the user before a combobox value is changed. This feature is to allow the user to stay in current state if modifications were not saved. Meaning that the user will be able to cancel the change. I have sub classed ComboBox and tried to hook on ITEM_CLICK of ComboBox.dropdown but this event is triggered after the value is changed. Also, I've tried MOUSE_CLICK ans MOUSE_DOWN but without success.
In my code, I have added a "preChange" event to my CustomComboBox. This event should be triggered before a change is made. Also, I've introduced a method called commitChange that will be called manually to actually commit the change.
I'm working with a rectangle I used code to generate
hpBar.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
hpBar.graphics.drawRect(40, 40, 90, 22);
hpBar.graphics.endFill();
addChild(hpBar);
The rectangle itself works fine without any problems, but when I try to change the width of the rectangle, it's x value decreases slightly, but I'm not sure why it does this. (90 is the original width, hpPerc is another value that will for my uses always be between 0 and 1).
hpBar.width = 90* hpPerc;
Unfortunately, as I stated, changing this shape's width seems to change the x value as well, which really doesn't work at all.
I am developing an AIR application and I want to change my project theme to one of the additional included themes that is packaged with Flash Builder 4. So, I went to the Project Theme and changed it and it looks like it is supposed to in the Design View. When I run the application, the components (eg: a button) themselves look like it is supposed to, but the application's background is just white instead of the displayed color in the design view.

View 9 Repliesi need to change the text in a combo box to TLF because i am loading data from an XML and it is a rtl language, how can i either make the original text field invisible and add a tlf or simply replace them? i tried to do it through skinning but i cant find the text field???
View 6 RepliesI want to change the colors in the geographic areas in a map based on which selection was chosen from a comboBox where the hex color codes to be used are stored someplace (xml file?). For example, if user chooses "1980" in the combo box, Minnesota will be blue, but if user chooses "2004", Minnesota will be red. an example of or tutorial on how to do this? At this point, I don't care if it's with AS2 or AS3. I assume each geographic area would be an object whose color is set after each selection. But rather than start from scratch, I'd love to see an example that's close to what I want.
View 3 RepliesHave created a combobox, a list of selectable text. Once the text is selected it display the selected text. now this script is working half ><
1. at beginning, the combobox is blanc, i want this actually by default. text1 displayed.
2. when i select for example text4, it does display text4, BUT when i select back to text2, nothing happens.[code]...
I'm about as new to flash MX, how to write an action script that will allow me to change text with a button. However, I would like to be able to do it by a combo box. In other words, I would like to make it so that when you change the combo box to a different label, the text field will change to a different outside text file.
View 6 RepliesI'm creating a game in which you have to click/shoot the correct number as it passes by and when the scoreboard reaches 2 certain scores I need the scenes to change. I've managed to make it work for one scene where when the score hits 10 it changes to the next part of the game. However I also need to make it so that when the score hits -5 the scene changes to the "Final Score" scene where the player is taken if they lose. When I tried to use the same script I used the first time I just didn't know where to place it and it didn't work. How can I have 2 scripts working on the same timeline so that if the score reaches 10 the game proceeds but if it reaches -5 the game ends?
View 1 Repliestrying to make my first game using flash. I have done the main thing, setup a character which can be moved by the user to catch some falling balls. Every time a ball is caught, the score goes up by 1. To count and display the score, i have used a number variable called "caught" defined in the main timeline with initial value 0. The main timeline has only 1 frame and stopped by codes in the level "action". The "caught" variable is used in many movieclips in the scene and its value changes as the character catches the ball.
Now when the score is 10, i want to go to a new scene that shows a "congratulation you win" animation. For this, I have wrote the following code in the movieclip of the main character -
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.caught == 10) {
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 2",1);
}
}
But this does not work. The score goes upto 10 and then beyond 10.Is there anyway I can use the value of a number variable to determine when to play a particular scene?
I made a flash login in flash cs5 following this tutorial ( completed code at the end)and I was wondering how I can use the "this is the user bio" retrieved from the php to change to a different scene. What i am trying to do is have the scene change after a person logs in sucessfully

View 4 RepliesI have a menu that is HTML/CSS. When I mouse over a menu item, I would a Flash header to change scenes accordingly.
Is this possible, and if so, how would I go about doing it?
I will be using Flash 8. I know how to animate, but I know nothing of ActionScripting. I'm a web designer, not a developer.
(I'm aware I could make the menu in Flash as well, but I personally don't care for having navigation set in a Flash .swf.)

i'm doing a school project of mine and i am having trouble doing the changing color objects. here is an axample of the script that i;m using:
on (rollOver) {
var colorful = new Color("_root.shapes");
colorful.setRGB(0x003366);
}
For this script it does change color, but how do i make it to stay the same color that user selected after going to another scene?
I have three images and I want change the images size based on the scene size (default size is 1024x768). After each image has completely loaded I call bindableUtils.setter to set width/height when scene size changes but I don't know how to make a pointer or something like that. I'm using a public var img, but it only works with the last complete image.

I'm using Flash CS3 and want to create a custom ComboBox. I've followed the steps outlined in "Editing component skins in a new document" (http:/[url]...), but every time I get to the step where I drag the ComboBox Assets folder from the HaloTheme.fla library into my library, if I test movie at that point my combobox has become an unclickable white rectangle with no label, button or anything.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.
How can I validate there's a selected item in a ComboBox before saving? If there's no selected item, how can I set focus on the ComboBox?

so I have some buttons that, as of right now, simply trigger the scene to move on while at the same time killing some particle effect animations I have spawning when the animation is idle. What I now need to do is make these events move on to a specific scene AFTER the rest of the scene's animation has played out (about 400 more frames) I'm figuring that the gotoAndPlay command has to be tied to some sort of timer variable that I would have to figure out based on my fps. Or maybe there is a way to set up a timer directly tied to a certain amount of frames allowed to go by. I'm pretty noob at actionscript, so keep that in mind. Here is the script at the point where the animation pauses to await user input on the buttons:
