Flex 4 Combobox is extended with a Text Input that helps in getting to the item that is searched for.I have created a Check Box as an itemrenderer for this Flex 4 Combobox. I would like to Add a Select All and Select None options in the drop down of the Combobox. I know that i could accomplish by editing the dropdownfactory in case of a Flex 3 Combobox. But in Flex 4 the dropdownfactory doesnt exist.
View 2 RepliesI am doing some research on creating clcikTags. I read a few places that the clcikTag should be on the top layer. That has been fine, but now I want to loop it and I usually put my actions in the top layer. Will this cause a problem? Am I better off just putting my loop action on the last key frame of the clcikTag layer?
View 3 RepliesIm creating a program that is designed to allow the used to select 3 pictures (movie clips) and print them off on a single peace of paper.
The program works by allowing the user to select 3 graphics (the graphics are actually instructions for various exercises) and then moving the desired movieclips onto the stage. This all happens on a layer named "Content"
So far the program will allow the user to select the movieclips and will move them into place on the Content layer as well as move smaller versions of the pictures into a preview box the only thing it does not do is print. (the most important bit)
Is it possible to create multiple layer masks over a single layer using Actionscript3?Below is the flash effect I wanted to create with masks.First it starts from A and goes to B and C simultaneously.Then from B it goes to H and D simultaneously (the same applies to C).This is how the end result will look like.ps. I need my background to be transparent. I'm embedding it into a web page later.
View 2 RepliesI can't seem to go to a master edit file that is supposed to show both the body (layer 1) and wing (layer 2) of a flying bird animation. Is there a way to merge these two since I'm planning on shrinking it down and making a lot of birds?He merged the two layers at 14:24 of the video without even explaining how he went to this so called "Edit Master Movie Clip" that seems non-existent on Adobe Flash CS4.
View 1 RepliesI want to create a simple mask. A white oval on a second layer on top of a bottom layer that just has a word of type. I want the oval to travel from the upper left down to cover up the type. When I create the second layer, create the oval, and choose a distant frame for the "end" of the oval's positioning, my type in the first layer disappears as soon as I press F6 on that second layer. Why? Why is it nuking my first layer?
View 3 RepliesI have a container MovieClip called Drags where I can drag stamps (other MovieClips)--they are added to the Drags container via addChild. I have a second container MovieClip above that one (display order-wise) call Paint that contains a bmp, and some sprites used for adding a layer of paint.
My question is this: I need to be able to click on the Paint layer when I am above a draggable MovieClip and trigger the MouseEvent for the correct object to drag it around, but the item must always remain below the Paint layer.
I'm trying to do a little comic comedy type video in Flash. I've done an outline sketch with the pen tool of my first character, now I want to color it BUT I want to keep the colors and the outline sketch separated on two different layers. Is there a way I can select the path (outline) on layer A and then colorize it with the bucket tool on layer B? The problem I'm having is that every object I select it automatically jumps to that corresponding layer.
One reason why I want to do it this way is I still want to continue working freely on the outline sketch since it's not fully finished, so that I just can blend the colors out and keep working on the outline, at the same time I want to color it while I go just to see where it's going and to make sure that I'm not wasting my time unnecessarily with trying to do a outline just to find out that it won't work out at the end.
how to do a comic type animation, how to create the characters, how to make them move and talk? It can be a free or paid resource.

Is it possible to add layers, re-order layers, move movieclips from layer to layer or specify which layer a duplicate movieclip appears on at runtime with AS3?I am aware of the depth properties and the functions associated with that but it would be easier to have a concept of a layer because I am dealing with masks.I have a nasty feeling I'm gonna be told that layers don't really exist within an swf and that depths and setmask are all there is to work with.

I currently have a list that I'm using to hold text so when an item in the list is selected the text is displayed in a text box along side it. I want to have the first item in the list to be pre-selected so the text for that item is already in the textbox when it is loaded.
View 1 RepliesI've got some dynamic text fields that have tabindex properties on stage.
There are some V2 components in the swf as well, so there is an instance of the FocusManager running.
I've got a pause button that I use to pause the playback of some other animations that are playing.
When I click the pause button I would like to have the focus go away from text entry fields (if they have it).
Is there a way to tell the FocusManager that nothing should have focus?
Selection.setFocus(null)
FocusManger.setFocus(null)
None of those work.
There is also an off-stage dummy text field that is used to capture focus for some other stuff in this file, but that doesn't work either.
The content that gets paused is variable and could have all kinds of designs and layouts, so having it respond to some kind of pause event is out. I need it not to be aware of the pause state. I just need the pause state to grab focus.
I have 75 frames in an animation. I have about 6 layers. I am trying to put a stop statement on the last frame.
Every time I open the Actions window it says Frame 1 even though the playhead is positioned on the last frame.
How do you place a stop comand on the last frame and which layer do I need to select?
Though, on one of the simplest things though I can not have the flash file select the XML files. It will select the first but will not continue with playing the rest of the songshere is my AS and XML files.
Code:
// Load XML Songs
var xml:XML = new XML();
[code].....
My Flash designer is reading an XML stream I'm sending back to the browser (I'm a C# dev). We have this working fine.
He is then selecting into an XMLList where a element has its id a certain value i.e. . This is also working just fine.
In this XmlList, are Events, that look a little something like this:
event
startdate
enddate
end event
I don't know how to use the formatting here - but each of those items is an element. startdate would have a value such as 04/02/2010 and enddate 6/30/2010.
Now, from this XmlList I do have of Events, I need to select all Events where a new variable myDate, falls in between the startdate and enddate.
I'm working on a tree component using a XMLLIST as a data provider.

I need to select a nested node by the property 'menuItemId' without knowing the index.For example, select the item with the menuItemId 4.
I'm sure this is a easy one but I've been searching for a while how to select a DropDownList element with actionscript. In this scenario, I'd like to be able to specify the selectedItem based either on ddlLabel or ddlData

View 3 RepliesI'm completely new to Flash and this forum, so please take 'er easy! I have spent the last several days on lynda.com and searching the internet for various tutorials and trying to get a crash course in AS3. Here's my question:
I am working on a project with multiple FLV's where the character is traveling along a path, and gets to a certain point where the movie pauses and the viewer selects from several options where the character goes next. It's actually a kayaking going down a river and at each rapid the viewer selects which line he's going to run, but that's irrelevent.
At first, I thought I would do this in one long FLV using cuepoints, where I'd use an event handler to pause the video at a certain cuepoint and display button's presenting the options. The button's would skip the video to the appropriate cuepoint down the line in the video and it would continue. It would be one ridiculously large FLV file though, so I don't think this is the route to go.
Then I realized, I could just chop each "option" or "route" up into smaller FLV's. Then, the character is going and the FLV ends when the viewer is presented with their "choices." At the end of the video, I'd like to have the last frame of the video remain on the screen (simulating a pause) and the options buttons pop up so the viewer can select where the character goes. The button's then link to the appropriate FLV correlating with the viewers selection. [code]...
I`m trying to get an URL launched by clicking on it - thing is though that I want to keep the URL list uptodate and maintained through XML.
PODlob`s fla suits the purpose very well, but I can`t get the URL to get launched.
how can i make it so that the viewer can only click on one object MC and not multiple ones. When the click the MC, i have a function that happens, but i only want one MC able to be selected at once, not all of them.so, if one is clicked, then another is clicked.. it needs to reset the first one etc. hopefully this explains clear enough the concept.
View 2 RepliesCode:
MC_text.addChild(stage.getChildByName("mainLink"+(i-1).toString()));
with the above line I can select all elements minus one...

View 3 RepliesMy code is supposed to read an XML file, and present a question with 4 possible answers to the user. I am outputting my data fine, and even outputting corresponding radioButtons for my multiple choice question. I must be handling my radioButtonGroup incorrectly as when I test my movie, I can select 1, 2, or even all of my buttons. My trace statements outputs each button with the same group name.
