I've been trying to figure out how to disable the mouse focus that you see when you tab through a swf file. I'm getting them pop up now and then and the client doesn't want them.I've been trying to work out how to disable focus for the entire movie but I've got nowhere. Is there an easy way to do this?
I'm using a keyboard event listener to move a sprite around, however, I have to click on the stage before the keys work. I'm even giving focus to the sprite that is supposed to move and telling flash not to use the yellow box. However, the box shows up around the sprite until I click anywhere on the stage.
Code: public function activate_photo():void { stage.focus = photoContainer;
IntelliJ displays yellow markers in the scrollbar on the right for warnings. Is there a way to disable warnings or just the yellow markers in the scrollbar?Follow-up: The file in question is from Adobe Flex SDK 4.1 frameworks/projects/framework/src/mx/controls/listClasses/ListBase.as. I have all inspections disabled. I've also disabled the JavaScript Intention Power Pack plugin. I have Highlighting Level set to None. With all this I still see warnings.
I'm having a game in which i control an MC with the keyboard arrows and when i click outside of the flash application and back in the MC loses focus. The focus changes to a button within the stage. What i've observed is that the Flash Player has a built-in control that moves focus from an item to the other with the arrow keys.
is there a code that will disable key press all together or to focus on just the input box so that i can type with the space key (space is used to pick objects up in game not in use when this menu is open anyway).
when i have this line active(the red one) it gives me automatic focus, so no clicking to be able to detect key input so i got that going for me which is nice BUT when i have it active(not commented out) i get this big yellow line which goes away when i click it(seeBelow)
im doing an accessible site and i know that objects areaccessible by default. all my buttons were highlighted in yellowwhen tabbing through...then i opened my accessiblity panel to add labels and now theyellow boxes are gone. i've deleted all the additions but still nosign of the yellow boxes.accessibilty is checked for everything, i've gone through thewhole site. nothing seems to be missing. is there some way i canglobally re-set the accessibility settings.
Can someone explain why a yellow box sometimes appears when a user clicks a button in a swf? It doesn't happen all of the time and, frankly, it's never been an issue before.
I had made a custom Youtube player in Flash CS4 in AS3 with Play/Pause, Mute, Stop, Seekbar and VolumeBar Controls. My problem is "only" with the Seekbar and the VolumeBar. It always shows up a bounded Yellow retangle over the controls when you try to drag it (scrub it) using a mouse which looks really ugly... I have tried every possible ways to remove the tabstop, like tabEnabled, tabIndex , and the like but all in vain. Also I have tried to remove the focus from the stage of the FLVPlayback component, still in vain... You can see 2 screenshots here... [URL]
I'm having a problem in one of my fla files. I'm not sure if I changed the view or what I did exactly, but now all I have is colored outlines around where images are supposed to be. All of the text has turned different colors as well. Attachments: flash-problem.jpg (308.2 K)
I want to keep my text editable in Flash (Classic text) and convert to outlines on publishing to swf so I don't have to worry about font embedding. Is it possible to do this? ie FLA keeps editable text but swf gets published out with outline text.
all the layers are displayed as outlines.I can assure you that outline mode is NOT switced on "globally" or for each layer.I have tried toggling the icons on and off to see if that would reset it, but it did not.Every new document is doing this, even after relaunching the program and rebooting the OS, Preview and Published display correctly, it is only in the the working environment that things aren't right.None of the other workstations are doing this, just this one.I did an update, but the issue persisted.
The weirdest part about it is, when I gave him a file created on my laptop to see what would happen, everything was displayed normally,New layers added to this document also displayed normally. We have iMac workstatios running Snow Leopard if that makes a difference.This is Flash CS5 by the way.Other than doing a re-install,
When I open action script 2 or 3 in CS5, and draw a rectangle or any shape, I can only see outlines? The problem IS NOT the outlines button that is in the layers palet as I have changed this many times and it has mad no difference and the problem IS NOT because I have selected no fill or colour for the shape. If you want to see a screenshot of my computer follow this link as I have exactly the same problem [URL]
BUT interestingly, when I have opened someone elses .fla work document, I can draw and fill shapes without a problem, which makes me wonder whether I am missing some basis setting when I start with my own new document ??
Is there a way to remove the yellow rectangle that appears on objects when the Tab key is pressed. This mostly applies to MovieClips that are Simple Buttons.
I have created a movie with a text input component and it is being included in a main movie by using html <img> tags. When I view the movie on a webserver and enter text the keyboard reverts from uk english to us english(i think) and the @ symbol mysteriously changes location to above the number 2.I'm not sure what to do about this cause when I run the movie on its own it works fine. I thought about embedding font outlines as a last resort. But I can't figure out how to embed font outlines in a component.
There have been many posts about how to draw lettes dynamically. This is an example of drawing the font outlines dynamically. Not the same as "writing" them, but an interesting technique tha
Is there a setting that will allow me to see layers in outlines even though the alpha of the movieclip is set to 0%? I swear I used to be able to see an outline of my clips even though the alpha is all the way down... now if my clip is alpha down there's no outline when i 'view as outlines' in the timeline. maybe i accidently changed a setting some where?
One thing that seems particularly easy to do in the Flash IDE but difficult to do with code is to outline an organic shape. In the IDE you can just use the inkbucket tool to draw a stroke around something. Using nothing but code it seems much trickier. One method I've seen is to add a glow filter to the shape in question and just mess with the strength. But what if i want to only show the outline?What I'd like to do is to collect all of the points that make up the edge of the shape and then just connect the dots. I've actually gotten so far as to collect all of the points with a quick and dirty edge detection script that I wrote. So now I have a Vector of all the points that makeup my shape. How do I connect them in the proper sequence so it actually looks like the original object?[code]
I was wondering if there was a way of drawing different shapes dyamically, and then somehow "join" them so that the resulting shape has only one outline, and not an outline for each shape.For examples making a random cloud with circles, and only have the outline on the cloud, and not each circle.
there is a yellow stroke appearing on my Flash buttons sometimes and i really have no idea why..anyone had this before? I didnt put there...and sometimes it appears on random buttons..
