I'm getting the hang of Actionscript 3 after a lot of reluctance to move to it, and finding it a fun language to work with. However, I'd like to build a play field that is bigger then the actual screen - a basic "game camera" setup that scrolls a map or scrolls around it.

how do I add a child to the main stage from a child movieclip?Basically, I have a movieclip linked to an external actionscript class. When the user clicks a button in the clip, I want to open a pop_up window on the main stage.When the user clicks a "close" button on the pop-up window, it should close.Can all the event handler code for this pop-up reside in the movieclip class even though the object is in the display list for the stage?
View 5 RepliesI'm having trouble creating a popup window WITHIN my document... after googling, I've only come up with HTML pop-ups outside of the document.This is the only example I could find quickly... if you wait for the flash header to load and then click on the red brain, that's exactly what I'm looking for:To be honest, I don't even know where to begin, other than with a movie clip. However, I don't know how to tie the movie clip into the document without changing the background or anything

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to make a console for text based i/o. The output window needs to be able to print char by char in multiple colors, wrap horizontally and scroll vertically.Most of that isn't a problem with the default TextField class, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting the colors right.If I use the htmlText property and wrap each character with "<font color=000000></font>" it starts a new line each time I add text.TextFormats don't seem to work at all for some reason. I do something like this:
ActionScript Code:
var tf : TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.color = FFFFF0;
textField.setTextFormat(tf);
...and then add the new text but nothing changes. Even if it worked, could I even use multiple TextFormats in a single textfield?I've been reading about this new "Flash Text Engine", and I'm wondering if there's some way that can help me, but I'm having trouble finding enough examples to understand how it works.

View 1 Replieshow do you make an image pop up in a window javascript style, from flash?
i have a variable in flash, equal to something like "images/image.jpg", and I want to make a button so when you click it it opens up a popup window thats a certain size, without menubars/scrollbars etc, to display that image, like a javascript on your standard HTML.
I read that flash has a javascript API, so there must be a way to do it huh? Is it getURL stuff, maybe with a POST of my variable?

I am an artist trying to remake my website...I have a picture of a window on my homepage. The window is a movie. When clicked on, the window lights turn on and a grid of thumbnail pics appear. Each thumbnail is a movie clip. When a thumbnail is clicked on, the movie plays and a larger image appears over the window. The problem is, the window is still active underneath the large image, so if I click on the large image, I am really clicking on the window movie clip underneath, and the thumbnail grid disappears-starting the window movie clip over. How do I make the window clip inactive after it is initially clicked? Also, I would like the larger images to end their movie clips after another thumbnail is clicked, so that there aren't large images piled up on top of each other.
View 6 Replieswhat I want to do is that first you can preview all the skateboards, but when I click on a certain skateboard model I want sort of a fixed pop-up window, at the same time as the background (the usual webpage) gets toned down and you cannot access the background page without closing down the "fixed pop-up window".It is used on many pages so probably you know what I want to achieve.

View 3 RepliesI'm animating a brick path forming brick by brick.I used a single brick symbol and repeated it over and over until it formed a path.The file was a lot larger than I expected it to be since I used really only one brick. Does the fact that I have a slew of layers explain why my file is on the heavier side?Would the file be smaller if I used a single image of a complete brick path and animated a mask to reveal one brick at a time?

View 2 RepliesI have radioButton controls that are being added to an otherwise empty movieClip. The height of the radioButtons are about 22, and the associated textFields (which I am using so I have finer control) are about 25 high. Once the two buttons are added the movieClip reports its height as 130, which is kind of crazy. I know that textFields have default heights, but tracing the height out of the textFields associated with the rb controls only returns 25, as I said above. Here's some code.
var box:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
var startX:int=0;
var startY:int=0;

I have a Mac and a PC - I have apple specific stuff on the Mac, everything else on the PC. My Adobe software is all on the PC. I like using the PC - bigger screen than the Macbook. Problem is that Adobe is effectively forcing me to use the MacBook.
Now I can use Flash to build cross-platform stuff from my PC, but I have to create all the certificates and profiles on the PC. If I want to do IOS development on the Mac I have to generate new certificates and profiles.
So switching between using flash/Flash Builder on a PC and native development on a MAc means continually regenerating certificates. If I had a desktop and PC latop, I could install on both, but not a PC and a MacBook. I am totally fed up with Adobe for this stupidity. If anyone knows differrent about the need to regenerate everything according to platform,
if I place a Border with width and height of "100%" inside a Group with width and height of 10 pixels the Border looks bigger than 10 pixels, why?
