I'm working on new presentation that has hidden buttons. In the previous presentation, when you hit the tab key it cycled through the hidden buttons by outlining them in red. I'm trying to recreate that feature, but am new to Flash and Action Script. I have many books and search the web often, but can not find an example of this or how it is done
View 2 RepliesI'm lost, at school we use CS3 and at home I have CS4. I cannot recall how to create a hidden button. From my previous work it appears that they come from the components, however I just can't see them there on CS4. Or have I got this completely wrong and do I have to create one from scratch.
View 3 RepliesI have an interactive map that I would like to script so that when a county is clicked, it sends through to a page called results.php this HTML table:
<form name="Merchant Details" action="results.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name= County>
<input type="hidden" name= MerchantType>
So County and MerchantType are fields in a SQL table. The script needs to tell the results.php page that County A and MerchantType B has been sent.
Where A is the name of the county and B is ALL (the default i've chosen for MerchantType)

View 1 RepliesI have been asked to create a store locator where you can type in your U.S.A. zip/post code and it will then find results for the nearest store to that post code.
Is there a database of U.S.A postcodes I can link too.
I would like to integrate an ip address locator into an application, but I am unsure of how to start;currently I am able to identify a user's ip address ( php ), but it's the next step that confuses me;are ip addresses registered with some kind of publicly accessible database?
View 4 RepliesIn Cairngorm (Flex Framework), there is Model Locator Pattern, which is similar to Global variables, is it a right pattern, Adobe is saying for flex its best pattern
[Code]...
I was asked by my company to make a store locator for our website but I only have basic knowledge of Actionscript and XML. What I would like to do is have an Input text box with a search button and an dynamic text box to display the results. Whatever is typed into the input box is what I want to search the XML file for.
I would like to have 6 variables to search for and 1 variable that holds the URL infoStoreName, Address, City, StateShort, StateLong , ZipCode, Link).
Now For example if someone typed "CA" or "California" all entries that have CA as its StateShort or California as it's StateLong atribute would be displayed, something for the rest as well.
In addition to displaying the info in the text box I would like the output to be links so that I can link the location to a popup of the location in google maps.
Here is how I my XML file looks:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<StoreEntry>
[Code].....
I can display an entry in the XML in flash. However it keeps displaying only the last one. I think I am going to need assistance fixing this.
I am still trying to implement the search feature but I still don�t know how yet. And last but not least, making the text clickable.
My guess is that I need to make invisible movie clips and place them over the text box in rows. Then add some sort of generic on (release) function that grabs the link of the line of text beneath it.
well, I got this for my Play/Pause button (on stage):
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
btn_play.onPress = function(){

The Magazine Flash file contains a menu of links to various pages in the Magazine movie.

View 4 RepliesI didnt see a place in preferences to keep edges hidden. I have some text that has a dotted line around it. I can hide it with hide edges, but as soon as I select them and let go, the edges come back. maybe their not edges since theyre dotted. maybe its flash telling me somethings not set up correctly? anyone?
View 2 RepliesI tried a search but it keeps saying I failed the No Spam when I didnt get a question - d'oh. Ok, this has probably been covered before, but a lot of research hasn't got me far, so I thought I'd post. I have a single page html site with several links that load up a homebrewed lightbox. The inline content is written out at the bottom of the page and the divs are set to hidden.
When a link is clicked, the light box loads and the correct <div> is set to visible. The flash plays, or is interacted with but when the user has finished, they click an html Close button and the div is hidden again. Obviously the swf is still loaded and running; it could be even mid animation. The more swfs loaded, the more memory that is taken up.
My development machine can handle the 600mb + used up by have a few FF windows open and a couple of copies of the site; but I imagine it will cause problems for users. So I've been looking into externalInterface to fire a command into the swf to close itself down when the close button is clicked, but I can't seem to find anything

View 1 RepliesI have a timeline with several buttons on it - some if these are created at runtime, and some by putting buttons on the page on frame 1 I then have an emptyMC into which I import a swf that COVERS the whole stage. This all works fine - you can't see anything of the underlying material. However, as you "mouse around" it seems that the buttons that are covered are still active - pointer becomes a hand etc. I can disable the buttons using enabled=false. This is quite invloved, and I would have thought that these buttons wouldn't be active - surely they are covered! How is the possible, and is there a neater way to stop these buttons being active.
