I'm working on a flash movie(?) where I would like to place some hot spots on a image and with mouse over that display an info text. It got to be dynamical since I load location and text from a xml file. But I don't know where to start. Should I use SimpleButton for the hot spot and let the mouseover display a TextField with the info text?
View 0 RepliesI am wanting to have several separate blocks of text appear in the same spot on my stage. Here are the specifics. I have 8 buttons each controlling their own block of text. When one of the buttons (button1) is clicked its text appears. When the user clicks another button (button2) button1's text goes away and button 2's text appears. The text boxes are sitting in my library and not on the stage. What AS functions do I need to get this to work? A Case/switch or For/while or just an if else? I would like to keep from using event listeners(which may not be AS 2 anyway).
View 5 RepliesIf you create a popup via:[code]It will create a popup and bring it on top of any other visual piece. I have one problem though. This 'popup' needs to stay up even when the user interacts with the background.I would use modal, but I need the ability to interact with the back. Any way to tell the popup manager not to remove the popup when the user clicks off of it?
View 1 Repliesi'm using the centered pop up window script from: [URL]. i have multiple buttons in my flash movie which open screenshot html pages in external browser windows. the script works fine except when a popup window stays open. the rest of the buttons don't open/replace past that one popup. i tried changing the window name in the onRelease script to screen1, screen2, etc for each button, but that didn't work.
View 1 RepliesI need to close the popup(adobe flex), non modal window if I click on the parent page of the popup. I have to do the out of focus check and then do some validation before close the popup. So what I was thinking that is there any inbuilt focus check event or do we need to create custom event for that?
View 1 RepliesI based the following on an old code I barely understood while creating it, and decided to begin messing with it again in my "learn japanese kanji" minigame. When my sprite contacts a movieclip, (like a door or sign), I want the text screen to appear, and disappear when they are no longer in contact.
The code below almost does that. When the sprite contacts the movieclip (contact code at the bottom of this post), the textbox appears, the text appears, and everything works... for about a split second, and then the text - but not the box, disappears. I think disappearing text has something to do with being loaded through an on EnterFrame, but I don't understand why the box remains.

View 1 RepliesI have an externally loaded file in flash. I'm trying to create a pop up from the text file. In order to do so I place a function into my actionscript, then place the link inside my external text file. It works fine but only while publishing in flash 6 and not 8.Below is the example of the function and the internal link.
openWin = function (url)
{
getURL("javascript:window.open('"+url+"','newWin', 'toolbar=no,width=760,height=560'); void(0);");
};

I have a web application which contains a data grid. Double clicking on any row of that grid will open a popup (lets call it popup1). Now this popup1 again opens a new popup(lets call it popup2). When I close the popup2, I need pass an Object to popup1. Which is the easiest way to do that?
(PS: While opening popup2 from popup1, I am adding an event listener on Close event of popup2)
I have a parsley popup that can create another popup.The issue comes when I close the root popup, when I open the popup again and click on the child popup, it's actually opening 2 child popups.Any idea why this thing happen?

I dont want to embed the video into the timeline, so I would like the hotspots on the FLV itself. Does anyone know how to do this. youtube seems to do it just fine. Is it triggered via an event embedded on the FLV, in which case does anyone know the AS code for it?

I have a move able player thats supposed to shoot and I test this code by moving the player and shooting. Im taking it step by step in creating this.
The result of tracing the bulletContainer counts correctly in that its telling me that movieclips ARE being added to the stage; I Just know it comes down to some kind of logic that im forgetting. Here's My Code (The Bullet it self is a class)

View 3 RepliesI have a flash document that publishes to an swf I embedd into an html page. The flass is made up of three movie clips that I have managed to program to run in succession and then loop. Each movie clip (frame 1, frame 2 and frame 3) drill down into their own animation. I set the movie up this way so that each of the animations could be linked to a different web page. Now I want to add navigation within the flash itself by creating three dots that when clicked will send the movie to frame 1, 2 or 3. I can't seem to find an example of this and am just not well versed enough in script to figure this out.
View 2 RepliesI have an AIR/Flex app I made, I have a few people testing it and everyone is reporting that after leaving it running for a while, it is making all there machines run very slow. It runs fine at first so this must be a memory leak somewhere. I used the profiler on this and the only thing that shows as using a substantial amount of memory is MethodQueueElement which is not a class I wrote, and I have no idea what it does, I am assuming its part of the Flex framework. I am not familiar with using a profiler so I am not sure what all I shuld be looking at, that was the only class that was high on "memory" and it said it had over 100,000 instances. If this is my problem what can I do to fix it?

As you can see i want to add an item (notfriend) in MYFRIENDS unction, "notfriend" is defined inside the loop, but by the time "MYFRIENDS" function finish loading the item already changes to the next item even though i was originally refering to the previous item. Is there a way to maybe hold the FORloop until "myfriends" function finish loading.
I wanted to use Eventlistener on "myfriends" function , but then what do i do to stophold the loop? all i know is BREAK-which destroyes the FOR-LOOP and CONTINUE-which continue the loop from the next iterate.
