ActionScript 3.0 :: Current Selections Can Not Have Action Applied To It Error
Jul 31, 2009
I just got CS4 and was following some tutorials for what I wanted to do. I Created a button and then inside of that button I created a movie clip in the keyframe "Up." In that movieclip I created a keyframe at frame 10 and created motion tween. I went to put a stop action in frame 10 and it says the current selection can not have action applied to it. I cant write any code for the button at this stage and I am not sure why.

I'm just trying to get started with very basic AS 2. I have two books, (Understanding Flash MX 2004 ActionScript 2, by Alex Michael, and Animation and Effects with Flash MX 2004) All of the very basic ActionScripts I've attempted from both books result in the "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it" error message.
Here's an example from Michael's book, which is for putting an event handler in a movie clip. I'm going to write all of the instructions just so you know I'm following them: 1. Create a new movie. 2. Draw a circle on the stage. 3. Select the circle and convert it to a symbol. 4. Name the symbol circle and select movie clip as the behavior. 5. Click OK. 6. Select the circle movie clip. 7. Open the Actions panel window. 8. Type in the following[code]...

I'm creating simple buttons (as I've done numerous times in earlier versions of flash) and need to apply an action to the hit phase - however keep getting the above message in the action script window. I just installed flash CS4 a few weeks ago.

have only been animating for several months now. I am now trying to get into simple games, and I am starting with what I was told is the easiest, a Dress-Up game.This is the source of the tutorial that I am following: http:[url]....
I am following the Dress-Up game. I have created a button, dragged it into the Movie-Clip, and then went back to the scene, and selected it, right clicked, and clicked Actions."Current Selection" is selected, and it says "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it".
when I try to add this action to Scene 1, or Symbol Definitions it is a syntax error, and says extra characters as the reason.The script I am trying to use to make my Ball movable is;
on(press) {
startDrag(this,false);
}[code]....

I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,

I'm not that knowledgeable with AS, but what I'm trying to do is display my selections from an array. Basically, there are some checkboxes -- from there the user ticks a few boxes, submits their preference and then the system tells them what they have chosen and acts accordingly. In this case, the reason there is an array is because the user is selecting which videos they want to watch, and the videos will then play after each other, once one of the videos has come to an end. At the minute, initially the array is set up, the user ticks the boxes, submits, then their options are added to the array. I'm having difficulty looping through the array to find only the values that have been chosen.

I am having some problems with a small survey swf i am making in actionscript 3. I have multiple choice questions on different frames using radio buttons and i need the users selections shown in a dynamic text button along each frame and also on the last frame of the survey.
Another problem i am getting is i need the last radio button clicked to be stored, so if the user clicks lets say 'rb_2' on frame 1, clicks next to go to frame 2, then if they were to go back to frame 1 again 'rb_2' is still selected.
Thought it would be easy using the 'Shared Object Class' but from reading tutorials i cannot get it working.

I have a Main Menu swf with Menu selections. When you click on the Menu1 button it launches a separate swf file that will be doing allot of things. I have buttons, video etc. All with some sort of a addEventListener attached to them. Because the Main Menu is running and you have the option to select another button, which launches another swf, I am unloading the current swf. I can tell the video is still running in the previous swf because you can hear it. I use the SoundMixer.stopAll() and that stops the video. But what about all those addEventListeners?
This is what loads the external swf (Main Menu).
Lesson = external swf
var myLesson:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(myLesson);
myLesson.x = 205;
myLesson.y = 30;
[Code] .....
This is what unloads the external swf: I call this in a couple of places depending if the selection is in another external swf.
myLoader.unload();
I also have been noticing that the naming of instances is increasing allot in a few of my lessons. Don't know if that has an impact on anything or not. How do you control events running in a separate external swf from a Main swf or stop, remove them.

I have a grid made from dynamic boxes and I need to check each box to see if it is selected or not to perform a function..
Problem is I have 60 boxes in the grid - in the code below, there are only the boxes which need to be selected !
I still need to add the other 54 boxes and set them as .chosen = false;
Surely there's a more efficient way of doing it than my code ??
if(event.currentTarget.parent.getChildByName("m1").chosen == true && event.currentTarget.parent.getChildByName("m2").chosen == true && event.currentTarget.parent.getChildByName("m3").chosen == true &&

I have a comboBox that I need to associate different email addresses with the different selections (the "selections" are the labels of the comboBox - not the data... the data fields for the comboBox are blank). right now, as written it returns "email2" no matter which I pick.
Code:
if (comboBoxName.getValue() == (("selection1") || ("selection2") || ("selection3") || ("selection4") || ("selection5") || ("selection6") || ("selection7") || ("selection8"))) {
var comboSelectionEmail = "email1";
} else {
var comboSelectionEmail = "email2";
}
Also, is there an easier way to do this than by using the if statement?
