I have an application that uses all four direction keyboard keys (up, down, left, right), but when I hit the slider on the application with my mouse, I can't use the left and right keys, at least not on the stage, 'cause the slider moves when I hit those keys. I know that this is default with all sliders...but must you remove this with a keyboardEventListener.removeDefault? If so, how do I do it?

I was wondering if there was a way to get the sound from a FLVPlayback component and manipulate it with using a custom volume slider? Within my Actionscript I currently have this code which enables me to control the volume of a MP3:
import fl.events.SliderEvent;
var mysong = new music();
var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var myTransform = new SoundTransform();
myChannel = mysong.play(0,10);
[Code]...
But Instead of using the MP3 for sound, is there a way to use an FLV's sound instead?
I have an HSlider with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 6. Is there a way I can disable the range 3 - 6, so the user can only select from the range 1-3 on the slider.Note: Your first thought might be to tell me to set the maximum to 3. I dont want to change the maximum to 3, I want the user to know there is more, but currently not selectable.
View 2 RepliesI like the slider component that comes with Flash but the parts of it are way too small and I need to use an image for the slider arrow. Anyone know of a good free customizable component? It seems like the individual parts of the built in slider aren't customizable.I really just want a bigger clickable area for everything.
View 4 RepliesI've got what to small problems when using my slider component.I'm building a small quiz and I am using the slider component to let the user rate their opinion. It'd be great if I could make the slider play the movieclip (to the next quiz questio) when the user has cast their opinion -on mouse up. Is this possible.Also I'm using a 'score' uint variable to collect the polling results but I need this variable to reside on the root of my flash file so that I can add to it from various diffrent movieclips. How can I target the variable from a movieclip.Heres my code:
import fl.events.SliderEvent;
voteSlider.value = 5;
voteSlider.addEventListener(SliderEvent.CHANGE, voteCast);[code].....
This is what i would like to target in the root
var score:uint = 0;
Is there anyway to change the height of the slider in AS3? (CS3), I've tried changing the actual graphic (of the bar) in the library and no matter how big I make it it's always locked to 13 pixels high.
View 3 RepliesFirst, is this even possible? Inside a function, I want to change the min and max values that the slider component will use. Say for instance, the slider by default has the min set to 100 and the max to 200. Using the slider to scale a graphic, I want to increase the min/mal values.
Can this be done? I've been searching the web for things like ".min.value" and the sort, but can't seem to find anything.
I am trying to use the slider component (aSlider) to control the volume of mySound which is a class called PlaySound.

import flash.events.Event;import fl.controls.Slider;import fl.events.SliderEvent;import fl.controls.Label;
var mySound:PlaySound = new PlaySound ;

View 1 RepliesWhy can't I adjust the height of the slider component? I created a new component and placed it on the stage, and changed the height of all of the images that comprised this slider (which were movieclips) to a larger size, but it still remains a skinny line when I run the program. I even did this in the Actions section:
mySlider.height = 20; but it seems like the program is ignoring anything that has to do with adjusting the height of the slider. If I try adjusting the width, however, then that works. It makes the line longer when I set the width a larger number. But why is the height of the slider line not being adjusted? No matter what I do, nothing is working. I have searched all over the internet for answers, but I can't find anything.
I'm using the slider component, and its working pretty well. I'm just having 1 issue with the enabled state. the Situation: The user has to click and hold the slider down throughout the application. once their session ends the application sends out an event to disable the slider amoung other things. All of the events work fine except for the sliders disabled state.
the Issue: The slider is effectively disabled although because the users has focus on the slider handle before and whilst the disbale event fires the user can still move it around like its really working. Untill you release your mouse it continues to move around.
I'd like to somehow force a release click or something to loose focus on the slider component so it takes on the disbaled state right away once the event is dispatched rather than waiting for the user to release for this to happen.

I'm creating a new Color object in CS5. Essentially I'm using a component slider and linking the value to 360 hue and converting that value to color hex to pass into a color object which will be assigned to an object (in this text case a standard square movieclip). However, when compiling I keep getting the error 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.display:MovieClip to an unrelated type Number.

I am attempting to reskin the AS3 Slider component to have arelatively "tall" draggable thumb graphic. However, the sliderthumb always seems to be forcibly scaled down to 13x13 regardlessof the size of the graphic. I'm currently using the drag-and-dropcomponent on workspace method, and double-clicked the livepreviewto change the skin pieces.I've tried resizing the contents of the SliderThumb_*Skin(upSkin, downSkin, ...) symbols, the Slider component itself on thestage, and even the placeholders on the double-click skin organizersheet. The height of the thumb object is not directly accessible(seems to be private). The translated position of the 13x13 thumbrelative to the symbol center is preserved correctly... but thesize seems to be stuck at 13x13.
Is there a workaround for this? I've searched and found a fewFlex solutions having to do with overriding a measure() method orextending the class to hard-code a different height, but none ofthe corresponding classes (e.g. one site recommended extendingmx.controls.sliderClasses.SliderThumb) seem to be accessible withinthe Flash AS3 implementation of the components.

View 3 RepliesI bought a license for a 3D Carousel component HERE. What I'm trying to do with it is load movie clips when the user clicks an image using a lightbox effect that I built in Flash.Everything is working fine except that when the movie clip loads on top of the site, I want the buttons of the carousel component to be disabled so the user can't load another movie until the one active is closed.I know how to disable a button, which I'm assuming would work here, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the button instance names out of the component to disable them.[code]Does anyone know if I could modify this event to give me button instance names instead of obj.id? Or, failing that.if there is a way to just disable the whole damn thing?
