In AS2 I could just do onRelease() inside the class, and all the movies would be clickable, if the class extended a MC.
This is my AS3 code, not sure why it won't work. It's like nearly impossible to Google, spent like the last two hours doing it.
Code:

I was sent an swf ad for my website and when I mouseover it I get the click hand symbol but when I click a page loads with an error saying that the page cannot be found.
I tried to place an a href tag around the entire swf file but I get the same error. Is there a way to fix this without having the flash file?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to do panning of a movieclip I have two movieclips on stage. canvasPanel_mc and mask_mc. The former is the maskee for the mask (mask_mc). Inside mask_mc there is a movieclip dragCanvas_mc. The alpha of dragCanvas_mc is set to zero. This is code that I am using:
mask_mc.dragCanvas_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onStartDrag);
mask_mc.dragCanvas_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,onStopDrag);

trying to bring in a list of people from an XMLdocument when a button is pressed, and once that list is broughtin, I want to make each name clickable so that a reader can findout more information about that person (the text of which wouldalso be from an XML document). The first part seems fairlystraightforward (see coding below; Im not sure if this isthe best way to do it, but it seems to work). Im stumped,though, about how to do the second part (make the names clickable).

I have an animated flash banner for the website, but I cannot make it clickable, so that visitors can click on any part of it, and be tranfered to another website page.

View 9 RepliesI have clips that I create using createEmptyMovieClip, and I would like to make them clickable. For my specific needs, I found dropping an empty clip from the library doesn't accomplish my goals.note that I will be creating multiple clips, which will need their own function when clicking, mouse over and mouse out.
Here is the code that I use to to create the clip.
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("homeHolder_mc", 2);
I am using MovieClipLoader(); to load a SWF on to the stage like this.
var myMCL = new MovieClipLoader();
myMCL.loadClip("swf/button1.swf","mcButton");
Now I want to make the loaded SWF clickable so I have added the following code:
mcButton.onRelease = function() {
trace("Hello World");
};
I thought that would work but it doesn't.
I have a swf embedded into a site, and I want the swf to be clickable so when you click on it it goes to another page. I tried wrapping the whole flash object in tags, and that makes it clickable but the biggest problem I'm having is when you roll over it with the mouse the pointer icon doesn't come up, it just looks like the regular arrow. I tried playing with the css and doing cursor:pointer, but it still doesn't work. I can edit the .fla file and add some actionscript 2.0 to it, but I'm not sure what to add or where. I'd rather do it through html or css, but if I have to do it in flash that's ok too. Also, I have an invisible button over the whole thing called, MYbtn

Is there a way to make those town labels clickable so that they can display the PDF information on a new page?
I saw in some projects that ppl has their own "Debug class".So, instead of typing: trace("look at this!") you type Debug.trace("look at this!").The only advantaje I saw was that you can disable every single trace call with a single parameter in the Debug class.. but, thats all.

View 3 RepliesMy friend recently said, that you should find some way without "CustomEvent" if you wanna follow OOPs strictly. Is this true ? Is this the reason, that such class is not provided by Adobe natively ? In many of my projects, i find it impossible to communicate without being able to send information via parameters. Is using "CustomEvent" like thing, a breach into OOP rules.
View 2 RepliesI was thinking of making a complex number class but then realized it would be a bit of a pain to have to call functions every time I wanted to perform operations on them. Would there be any way that I could set two complex numbers like so:
Code:
var z:Complex = new Complex(-0.7, 1.4); //where the number is then -0.7 + 1.4i
var c:Complex = new Complex(1, 1.1);
and then store the result in another?
Code:
var x:Complex = z + c;
In other words, is there a way to make the +, -, * and / operators behave in ways other than those they normally would?
I have created some code that creates a blue circle of random size on the stage, and startmoving it in a random direction, at a random speed.
But I'd like to create this as a static class, so that I can just import into a banner and make multiple instances appear at a time, but my limited knowledge doesn't allow me to
Here is my code:
Code:
var child:Shape = new Shape()
var childSpeedX:Number = Math.random()
var childSpeedY:Number = Math.random()
var childDirectionX:Number = Math.random()

I am just making the move to AS3, and in particular - moving my code to classes and packages. And right now, the penny hasnt dropped. I understand that packages group a group of related classes, but my brain just hasnt seemed to grasp a few concepts.
As a start, i thought i would port a dropdown i built in as2, to as3. The problem i am having specifically is making instances of the dropdown aware of each other. For example, I have a Dropdown Class that adds my dropdown to the stage. This class is responsible for building the dropdown, and adding the items to it.
But lets say i make another instance of this class. This brings up several issues that i dont fully understand. For example: - when one dropdown instance is open, it is the current_selected. When I open another dropdown, i want to send an event to the other instances that says "hey, if you are open you need to close" - a reset all function. Which would work similar to above. It would send an event all all instances of the dropdown class and trigger their internal "reset()" method
In as2, i would simply create some variables to keep track of these things. As far as i am aware, you can't add package level variables that instances can all see?
So, Do i need to add a customised version of the event dispatcher? and if so, how do i tie all these instances into a group of sorts.
i was making a class and creating an instant out of it see how it works.Here's my human class (human.as)[code].....
View 1 RepliesI am trying to build a preloader class for loading external content (images in a gallery). I have no experience in this area and I could not find many examples of making preloader classes.

I was trying to pass the Loader's variable into the class and then try to trace the bytes but no luck with that.

I think I understand how to make a interface but the problem is im unsure as to how to add it to my existing code! To make a interface (as far as i know) You can create classes such as mainScreen, intructions and so on. Ok i get that, make the classes then add ther buttons from the library i these classes. But i followed a tutorial bu Emmanuel Feronto, and adapted that to the needs of my game.
So im unsure as how to add these 'Screens' to my current class, the I currently only have 1 class, Main which currently has 300 lines of code, and i dont know how to break it up into smaller classes. Thats the problem i think, The main is quite large, normally i have heard people keep this clear... But then say i made a bland main, and added the screens into that then how do i make the main that makes the game play on the play button?
I am making a circle countdown timer class. It works fine, however, the startAngle variable isn't really working the way I wanted it to.

I created 3 buttons in flash (biography, music, contact). Whenever you hover over them,they animate. Is there a way to make these clickable objects in Dreamweaver? I've searched and found out about the 'invisible button', but this doesn't work for me because it takes away the animation I created.
