View 4 Repliesi am trying to make a photo gallery so when people click on a thumbnail it expands to full screen, my problem is i have lots of pictures and i want to determine which one has been clicked. i thought i would use the e.target in a simple if statement like this:
[Code].....
in this picture one and two are both on the stage with instance names of picture and picture2.
I would like the submenu to become black when clicked and so on. Here's some code (if you have the time the whole thing is included as an attachment). Greetings from Sweden.
Code:
function createSubMenu(num, nypos) {
var array = "sm"+num+"_array";
var totalsm = eval(array).length;

I'm writing an app where I want to know which, of an unspecified set of buttons, the user is clicking.The actual location of buttons determined by previous user actions, so I cant use information like mouseX.You can see from the code the way I'm attacking this - trying to access the button based on its position in the display list of a container. Unfortunately this has always led to type coercion errors 0 - AS can't see that e.target is a DisplayObject.se has solved this problem.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.Graphics;

i basically have a gallery with thumbs loaded in via xml. and then a currentThumb.onRollover function depending on which thumb was clicked. Now this is all within the forloop function on frame1. what if I want the actions to occur on frame 2 of the main timeline after the coinciding thumb has been clicked. How can I determine which thumb was clicked? I tried using a _global.id = i; but that doesnt store the correct value from the loop.

Say, I have an array of movie clips (dummies). Each dummy has an event listener and reacts to clicks. And when a dummy is clicked, I want to know the index of the clicked dummy.
I've only come up with this solution: run through the whole array of dummies and find out which dummy is the target, then exit the 'for' cycle and assign some global variable the value of counter variable, but this way the application I am building will demontsrate poor performance.
I am using browseForSave() to give the user a chance to save a file before navigating back to a previous screen. As of now the cancel button on the save dialog just closes the save dialog. I want to see if the cancel button was clicked, and if so continue navigating back to the previous screen without saving. Right now the person has to save the file in order to move back. Below is the code I'm using.

What I have is a dynamicly created row of movieClips. In which TextFields are added with text that's received from an Array. What I would like to be able to do is click on the movieClip that's visible and have the code understand I clicked array[3] for example and it will show the 4th array item in another textfield.
Current development: [URL]
and code:
Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;

I have a group of movie clips, each placed randomly on the stage. I want to be able to click one of the movie clips and move them around. They are stored in an array.
View 5 RepliesI have a similar problem where I want a text field that by default has the word NAME in it, to become empty when a user clicks on it.
The text field has the instance name 'nam' and is inside a movie with the instance name 'input_text'.
I've searched around and found samples of code where everyone keeps suggesting this:
Code:
textboxinstancename.onSetFocus = function() {
textboxinstancename.text = "";
};

I wrote a flash (ActionScript3) based radio streaming player, there is a link in the player for users to click. It's is a "a" tag in TextField. The code looks like this
textField.htmlText = '<u><a href="' + url +'">' + htmlEscape(text) + '</a></u>';
It works fine if I put my flash player in same domain of web-page, however, if the domain of web-page is different from the location of flash player, then the link is not clickable.
For example:
A radio example page
You can see there is a link in the title bar of radio player, I hosted the flash player on CDN, its domain is different from the web-page, therefore, the link is not clickable.
Why the link cannot be clicked if it is embedded in a cross-domain page? It doesn't make any sense. I did set the crossdomain.xml file properly, but it appears that it doesn't work. I want to make the link clickable everywhere, no matter what domain the web-page is located.

View 3 RepliesI have a few text based pages on a site i am trying to build which contain dynamic text (contained within a database, which can be changed from elsewhere). These are loaded into a dynamic text box of a fixed size that fits within my page. This all works great. I have created two scroll movieclips (which act as buttons, one for up, one for down) which when clicked cause the textbox to scroll up or down as relevant. These work fine as well. The problem i'm having is I only want the scroll buttons to appear if they are required (ie if the text within the text field is larger than its height so you need to scroll to read it all), but i cannot work out how to find the height of the actual content (as opposed to the height of the predefined dynamic text box). I can obviously create the textbox as autosized, then find it's height, then compare it to the desired height and (if it's larger) manually change it's height and display the scroll buttons, however i cannot imagine this is the most effective way to do it at all? I'm sure there is a standard, logical way to do this but i cannot seem to find any reference to it online or in the forums, but maybe because i'm searching for the wrong thing

When applying text formatting to a comboBox, the text formatting appears perfectly on the dropdown menu items but the textField text disappears.Removing the text formatting from the textField makes the textField text reappear but of course there is no text formatting.
