ActionScript 3.0 :: Show/Hide Button Functionality For User?
Jul 13, 2011
I have been tasked with adding button functionality for a fence companies flash application. Specifically, the buttons will be in a drop down horizontal menu. They will have to display (and hide) certain accessories that will be placed on the fence or are a part of the fence itself. For an example of something similar, please check out the design studio at this site -[URL]. It is the application about halfway down the page and after hitting the APP MENU button, it is the top most option.note that as the fence moves (by scrollers) the accessories always stay with the fence. So, I am guessing that the whole thing is a movieclip and that the buttons are referencing?, showing?, hiding? certain aspects of the movieclip.

I have a movieClip that a user can click on to hide/show a different movieClip (for this example, lets say its a circle). I have an 'onPress' on that movieClip that tells it go and play the next frame inside itself movieclip (there are two frames which just have different graphics to represent off/on) and also the line of code to hide the other movieClip.
The problem is that if a user clicks on the movieClip to hide the circle and then keeps their mouse in the exact same position and tries to click again to show the circle, nothing happens... they have to move the mouse at least a little bit before it will recognize it is being clicked again. The same thing happens with buttons I have that scroll the page... which is extremely annoying since you can't just click the same spot multiple times, you have to move your mouse a bit and then click again.

In my flex app I have custom tooltips on buttons that hide and show based on user context. The problem that I dealing with is that when I call my showTips() function I only want to show tooltips on the buttons that visible in the view. So buttons that on a un-selected tab (tabNavigator) should not show the tooltips. For some reason all tooltips are showing. Is there a way to detect if a button is not in current view, like on a un-selected tab?

I need to progress. [URL] The Adobe documentation assumes you are an expert with Flash and there are no clear cut examples of how to even show and hide a darned button, well, I can't find any referrences. I can imagine what I want to do with flash, but getting anything out of it cracks open my brain. Programming is not fair!!! for us graphic artists. Examples of things I want to study are loading images to the stage on a specific event such as "if(enterFrame == x)" ideally I would like the images to load from a directory on the server and ease in the image.
Basically I want to keep it simple yet effective. Alot of the code I see out there is double dutch to me and appears to go in the wrong direction of simplifying things. I can understand the basic fundamentals, but I wish when people post examples like myMC1.visible = true; that they explain that myMC1 is just a name chosen by the writer to look for an item called myMC1 or go the extra step and color code the code BLUE for actual code, RED for names of items given by the writer that exist on the stage etc etc...

if i use action on button like:
on (rollOver) {
startDrag("abc");
}
on (rollOut) {
stop();
}
where "abc" is instance name of movie clip it will do the work but it doesnt give effect of appearing and dissapearing the movie clip when i mouse over the button.

I have an animation that shows items highlighted in a diagram. As the items are highlighted, the audio will play (to explain the animation). because we are creating this for people with possible disabilities, we also created captions with text for the audio. So, in separate layers, we created speech bubbles and text that is synchronized to the animated actions on the screen. this will also be synchronized with the audio. We want to have a button (close captioning button) that when users press it, they see the text captions and if they press it again, they don't see the text captions. my questions are
1) what will be the easiest way to create the effect i am looking for?
2) what actionscript command will i need for the button's actions?

make an graphic (just a box with text in it) be shown as default, then when the user clicks (either clicks the box or anywhere or a cross - anything!) the window is hidden, then if the user wants to see the box again, they can click a button saying 'show info'.
And I looked on the forums and found ( showthread.php3?t=66284" ) << I can't post links because my post count is too low .
But I tried that (both methods mentioned) and i can't seem to get them to do anything?

I created an event handler to override the tab and tab + shift functionality, as tabIndex was not working as I expected it to. (I have some dynamic check boxes and it was taking two tabs to get into the VBox group and a couple of other anomalies).
I added some alert boxes so I could see what the current target is, now I have the functionality working perfectly...but when I remove the alert boxes the tab and shift/tabs do not work.
I tried to replace the alerts with trace's to no avail. I also tried to enclose the code around a switch statement and add breaks.

Several arrays are created by passing a number (k) from a different array,for every item in the array I need to have a little dot.I have a movieclip on the timeline with a maximum of 15 dots.So if the array has only 6 items, the last 9 dots should dissapear.
PHP Code:
function fill_items(k:Number) {
var item = josXML.firstChild.childNodes[2].childNodes[k];
[code].........
But the dots_total[t]._visible = false; part isn't working...Maybe it's the wrong way to achive this, but i can't seem to figure out why it's not working.
