I have a linked movieclip in my library that contains a dynamic text field. I edit this text via my external class but when I tween my MC, the text just disappears !!
Code:
var goTo1:_goTo1= new _goTo1();
addChild(goTo1);
goTo1.id=0;
goTo1.buttonMode = true;

I have been producing animation on my Mac using shape tweens and hints where necessaryUnfortunately when these files are then opened on one of my colleague's PCs the shape tweens appear broken as the hints have dissapeared.If the file is opened on another Mac this does not happen.I have yet to spend too much time focussing on testing the whys and wherefores of this problem, but wondered if this is a recognised issue or is a one off
View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip (box) with a text box embedded in it. I want it to expand and move to the middle of the stage when the user places the mousepointer over top of it. When the mouse is moved off I want the movie clip to return to its original position. My code almost works. The MOUSE_OUT works and returns the movieclip to its original position but the MOUSE_OVER causes the movie clip to bounce to the center of the stage, return to the original position and then bounce back to the center of the stage before coming to rest at the center location. I just want it to go directly to the center of the stage.
Also, if I have 25 movieclips like this, is there anyway that I can capture the xy coordinates of the current movieclip that is being clicked on so that I can use the same code for each movieclip to expand and move it to the center of the stage and return them to their original . I am assuming that I would have to capture the name of the current movieclip being clicked on, in a variable and capture the initial x and y coordinates in two other variables. Can I then use these variables in the following Tween statements? Not sure how to code it so that the statement will read the contents of these variables and use them as paramenters in this routine.
square1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,tex ter);
function texter(e:MouseEvent):voidn
{
new Tween(square1, "x", Regular.easeIn, square1.x, stage.stageWidth/2, 1, true);

Attaching swf and fla for your reference.I am developing a animation with 4 MovieClips... on mouseover of movieclip it will grow and adjacent movieclips will move and shrink...I am able to develop the code...BUT....
1. On quick mouseover/mouseout event I am not able to stop the growing & shrinking of other movieclips.
2. Also I want attach a movieclip such that when I'll click on ONE .. a maximised Movieclip will open.
I've got the following movie online to look at:(disregard background, temporary image)URL...I have 3 icons (will be 4, the photos at the bottom of the movie).When hovering over a button, it should rise up around 50px, and on mouse out, it should drop back down to its original position.If you look at the movie, it does that, however, if you move around the images a bit you'll see that at some points it picks up 2 photos/buttons at a time (since they're overlapping a bit I imagine), but the BIG problem is that sometimes, when picking up both images, they do not return to their original position when mousing OUT as they should, they remain suspended as if they are stuck at the end of the onmouseover function and can't come back down.[code]

I'm currently working on a LARGE flash presentation broken up into many small flash movies. the files play fine in the timeline, but SOMETIMES when publishing as .swf, the text is not visible, but all the other objects and tweens play as normal. My co-worker is also having this same issue, but we can not figure out why. It seems random and does not happen with all of the files. We are copying and pasting symbols from file to file. i don't think that is the issue, though. i wonder if anyone else is experiencing this or knows why. causing LOTS of extra time spent remaking presentations.
I'm working on an interactive poetry project. I have 49 textfields displayed in a 7x7 grid. The properties are stored in an array. Here is the code for that. For the purposes of demonstration I place the character "S" as text in each field. This code works as intended.
var instances:Array = [];
for (var i:int = 0; i < 49; i++) {
var j_inst:TextField = new TextField();
j_inst.text = "S";
[code]....
The problem occurs when I want to change the text. When it's triggered the text simply disappears. I have no idea why and I'm running out of ideas. I've tried without the embedded font but to no avail. Changing other text properties like instances[j].x works but whenever I change the text I lose it.
function ChangeText(e:TimerEvent):void {
for (var j:int = 0; j < 49; j++) {
instances[j].text = "X";
}
}
I am creating a map that has pop ups with country information. When a country is clicked, a box pops up with the country name, an overview of the area and a link. All the text is pulled in from an external XML doc. My problem is that the link only shows up on the first box (as soon as it clicks, it wont appear in other countries profiles).I don't receive any errors and the links work fine, just as long as they are the first to be clicked.
View 1 RepliesI'm animating some text, I enlarge it by using free transform tool and drag the handles until my text covers the screen. Problem: the text is so large that the left and right drag handles disappear from the stage, I can only resize using the middle handles and this is not constraining my text the way I want it.
View 2 RepliesI'm having issues with dynamic text disappearing under a specific circumstance. When the playhead enters the Photos frame the code below is executed. This code sets the text value of the linkTEXT textfield and adds a bitmap to the linkTHUMB mc. The code runs perfectly and everything is populated most of the time.
The exception... The website has 4 frames which it can navigate to (home, photos, order, contact). If I stay within the first three, each time I navigate to Photos the textfields and bitmaps will be populated and display correctly. However, if I navigate to the Contact page, either before or after I've already visited the Photos page, only the bitmaps will display.
Strangely enough, the textfields still trace their proper values. It also appears as if their parent movieclips are still in the display list since I get the hand cursor when I mouse over their x+y coordinates. If I trace the parent's numChildren property I can see the textfield is still a child.
So where is the text going, or why does it suddenly disappear? If the textfield is still there and it's on stage in the display list why isn't the text being displayed?
I created a loader class which creates a text pre loader and works fine until I add a mask over the images.Then the preloader doesn't display anymore. The preloader is called "progressOutput"

I have a static textfield using Myriad Pro bold font that, when set to STATIC TEXT works absolutely fine, in the correct font. If I set it to DYNAMIC TEXT and test the SWF, the text shows up as a system font; not Myriad Pro If I set it to EMBED CHARACTERS the text doesn't show up at all on ANY system, whether the font is installed or not.
I have tried adding the font to the Library and using that "Family" for Properties>Character in my dynamic text box, but get the same results as when I don't set that to EMBED CHARACTGERS. I've tried selecting the font for the textfield as both the standard OS Font, as well as the one with the Asterisk next to it, but get the same results both ways. The library font is set to "export for actionscript" and "on frame 1". I don't think it's an issue with the font not being available, as I'm able to see it when setting textfield to STATIC type, and I use the font in other CS4 products (Photoshop, etc.).
I have a .f4v on a layer using the FLVPlayback command. On top of that I have a dynamic text layer. It plays fine in a browser or at the exported resolution. When I use the command ("fullscreen", "true") or when I open the .swf and go full screen using CTRL-F the text disappears. I have removed the video and put the text on a solid background layer to determine it is the video causing this. I have also tried to convert the .f4v to a .flv and embed it in a .swf in multiple manners but the end result is always the same as the text disappearing.
View 0 RepliesOk, so i have this problem with text dissapearing if i use one font, it shows in one textbox, but the other ones are odd, they either show 0 or 1, or the first letter only, or nothing at all. What's the problem?In the beggining i tried to ignore the problem by changing the font or the font style, but now, it's becoming to ugly if i use too many different fonts.
View 9 RepliesThe problem is: When I press my buttons twice, the text in the scroller disappears.Everything is set so that It shouldnt be possible to press the same button twice though.The situation in short is as follows.

For the page movieclip the-button in the movieclip getsœswitched o by ungrouping it and so on, and so on.On every scene I put the movieclip, with the correct button switched of, on top, with thenction.

View 3 RepliesI have a basic mouseover in my flex application which changes an image onmouseover and changes it back onmouseout using the code mouse Over "functionToChangeImageSource()" and another one to mouseout.It works fine when you slowly mouse over and out, however if I quickly move the mouse over it, it occasionally stays on the mouseover image and the mouseout function doesnt appear to kick in. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or does anyone have any ideas why its happening?Also, I've tried the rollOver and rollOut instead but it has the same problem.[code]I'd imagine you're correct about the mouseover event not completing before mouseout is but how to I fix this?
View 3 RepliesI have a simple movie clip for which i bind two events 1-MouseOver and MouseOut
in these events i am just tracing simple text
But the Problem is when i take my mouse over the movie clip both events called tracing the string in the output panel
Infact, things should be done like that on mouse over, its text is printed and when i take my mouse away[out] from the movieClip MouseOut event should be called.

I have a text box that I want to display "tips" in, for example I have a text box with text in it and I added an event listener for mouse over but I realized I have no way to tell the function what text to display. When I try to do something like the following, I just get error messages:
Code:
txtpName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, tipText("This is your name");
public function tipText (tip:String, e:Event):void {
txtTip.text = tip;

I have a question and would like some help with creating a flash gallery but for showing information rather than pictures.

View 2 RepliesI have some text in a Flex 3 application defined as follows
<mx:Text id="textbutton"
text="Link Text"
click="doSomething()"

It does not seem to work however as the text does not underline when I mouse over it.
Is there a way to do this purely through CSS or do I need to programmatically capture the mouse events and set the styles accordingly (seems like overkill)?
I have a menu that is created dynamically with XML, how to change the text on a mouseover?
View 0 RepliesI made a worldmap which is a movieclip, and inside that worldmap I create dynamicly project icons which contain a text balloon with some short information about that project.The problem I'm facing is that I want to make the text balloon appear on mouseover, and when I press the movieclip, it goes to another page.I've been trying this for a while but I can't find a good solution, onRollOver and onPress on movieclips won't work, and I have no clue how else I could do it. The reason why I add them inside the worldmap is because I want to zoom in and out or move the map in certain directions.when I zoom in and out on the map, the icons become largers as well. How can I make it so that the icons always stay the same size?
The flashmx8 file can be found at: http:[url]....
The code is at the first layer called "scripts" in the first frame.
The code for adding dynamicly dots onto the map is at line: 72 and the code for zooming starts at line: 131, and basicly the whole actionscript is in the first frame to keep it easy and mobile to tweak the whole application.
I want to change the color of the text on mouseover (its a dynamic text field). I cant get it right!

View 1 RepliesI've done my fair bit of HTML coding and work fairly well with CSS but i've never ever done a mouseover in flash.. Now, the website's text, all of it, is simply located on a text.txt file that the flash file reads and incorporates onto the website.. All text and images come from this text file. This is what I want to do.
Click on Enter site, then when it loads, click on the "Selling" tab at the top of the site. On the "My Listings" section is where I want to have the mouseover text and the "Market Analytics" section (which we'll be renaming) is where we'd like the image to actually appear. My question to you is can this be done within this environment and how so?
I can edit JavaScript somewhat, though its been a while.
I want to create an animation like this one [URL]. You can see on the home page 4 blocks of pictures on which if you mouseover you will see it change and display text. I know how to do this. But When you mouseover one block and come out of it, the text will be still there until you move onto another block, which I don't know how to.
