I am a Flash illiterate trying to learn AS3. I barely get time to work with it and I only got it about four months ago. I have got really far since then, but I still have some trouble with Flash. I am making a game and I need to know how to embed a button into a textfield. I want it so when you are scrolling down the textfield, at the end, there is a button that returns you to the menu.

I'm pretty new to FLASH. I have created several swf, several are videos. I want to insert them into an fla and have them play automatically then loop.
I tried just moving the swf from my library to the work area, but the swf aren't playing correctly.
I have a flash banner rotater and I have little squares at the bottom that are dynamically created which represent the slides in the banner, for example: if there are 4 slides in the banner there will be 4 little squares. Each little square is a button and if you click on a square it will take you to the slide that it represents. My problem is this: When I try to add numbers to each little square by dynamically creating a TextField then the text overlays the square so the button doesn't work.

View 0 RepliesDoes anyone know the theory behind using javascript to insert your SWF files into the XHTML page, rather then the ("Insert.., Media.., SWF) way.
Is this a better way of doing it? whats the difference?
the Java looks like this:

I'm currently developing a full flash site. I've made the dropdown navigation menu with flash also. However, whenever I insert or import it into the webpage .fla, nothing works. When I preview the navigation menu swf file it works perfectly, ie, the mouseover effects, however I lose all actionscript coding when I bring it into my webpage .fla, what am I doing wrong?
View 1 RepliesMy question today is dealing with a dynamically generated button with a textField.I have the button copy in XML and I need to add a buffer of 10 pixels to either side of the textField. I tried to CENTER my textFormat, but then I could not see my text because the button is for some strange reason 545.45 instead of 88 like it should be. When I change the alignment to LEFT then I can see my text, but still the larger issue is my button size is horribly off.[code]

Is there any way to have a text field and a particular string in that text field work like a button. For example if I have the following text placed in a textfield via mytextfield.text =
Code:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus sed sem neque, a dapibus velit. READ MORE, id feugiat est. Quisque bibendum cursus varius.
And I want to attach a listener for mouse over to the read more text but not any other part of the text is there any way to do that using htmltext.
i have the following code:
var str:String = "blablabla"
var fontDescription = new FontDescription();

I have a button on one layer and a dynamic textfield on a layer above it. The dynamic textfield gets populated from an XML file. When I test the movie, the dynamic textfield actually blocks the functionality of the button. It can't be clicked and the cursor doesn't change when rolling over the button.
View 13 RepliesI've been trying to put a textfield in a button and it's not working.
myButton_btn.myText.text = "this is text";
where myButton_btn is a button and myText the textfield. The button is on the stage, the text in the actions panel. The text is on a layer spanning the up, over, down frames in the button
It seems simple enough but it gives me the error below as if myText doesn't exist:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Is it not possible to make a button with a dynamic textfield in AS3?

View 2 RepliesI got this:
Code:
X25 = "<a href="asfunction:myClick">Show Box</a>";
box._visible=false;
function myClick() {

Where X25 is the name of a dynamic text field variable (not instance name).
What I really need is for a rollOver action - you need to physically click the text box for it to work and I need that for another action
I've just used the accordion component in flash to successfully load some external data into it.For the purpose I want to use it, the accordion is a good option.However, as you keep adding more and more elements into it (and, presumably, there will eventually be lots of them in this project), the headers start to take up more and more space, up to the point that you can't see the content.So yes, I made it so that the accordion adjusts its size depending on the number of elements it needs to display each time. And that works fine.BUT... then, there's a point where the accordion is just too big for the stage... so it doesn't fit, and you can't see part of it.I thought it would be possible to insert the accordion inside a ScrollPane, but I can't make it work.
The first step would be to put the accordion component inside a new MC. But when I do that and test the movie, I get a very weird behaviour of the component. It loads the content, but at first only half of the component shows up. Then when you click some items, they don't display properly and do weird things.Still, I went forward and tried to put that MC inside a scrollPane (gave the MC a linkage name, etc.), but still the scrollPane seems to display a "blank" accordion inside it, not the one with the content.Is it possible at all to get a working accordion inside a ScrollPane? If not, can you think of any other way to make the accordion component "scrollable" so that it can have whatever size is needed, and still be usable?
what is it called when you insert text from a variable in actionscript?
View 1 RepliesI am making a Layer contains 312 Key Frames that is made of 312 gif images (each image contains a specific detail for my movie).what I have done;
-I have made a Keyframe in Frame 1 (imported Det1.gif to stage)
-then Selected Frames 2 to 312 and pressed F6 (Made 312 Key Frames that they all contains Det1.gif)
-Now I am one by one, going to different frames and cicking on Det1.gif image, and click SwapImage.
Now that I am talking to you, I have Swaped 50 of them, But still I have a long way infront of me to go before I finish those 312 SWAP images one by one.
