I have been building a simple word game. It is smple but works fine. I am now trying to enhance some of the features.I would like to see if I can display one letter of each word so the Player has a hint. Think of this as a beginners level.The words are random from a text list. Either I can make the letters invisible and the game starts without a hint or I am able to select a letter using charAt() or creating a new variable substring()from the word which is the displayed repeatedly on the stage(not what I want) I have not been able to find a way to display one letter and display it in the correct order within the word and keep the remaining letters invisible.

I am doing drag-the-word quiz. When you match the word with correct part, the message pop out, saying Bingo! If the word is matched with wrong part, the "Sorry. Try Again" message pops out, says "Sorry. Try Again". I managed to make the "Sorry. Try Again" message disappear. However it dun work anymore after that. Sometimes it is quite funny. When I play it, the "Sorry. Try Again" message dun pop out at all.
Another problem - I am not sure how to make the word fit into the white box. I only know how to make the word drop on the white box. Can you tell me how to do it? I will be adding voiceovers to the quiz when the word is matched with the part. For e.g it will say "bingo" or "Sorry. Try Again". How to attach the voiceovers to it?
create the word which changing many time and in the end become a clear word like what's happend exactly in horizintal menu in [URL] That's what i wanted the changing in words like that menu?

system to browse offline howeverthis doesn't work correctly for any less then ActionScript 3. Whenyou highlighted a word in the past such as "null" it use to pull upthe word and the info in all the books. Now all I see is a webbrowser that doesn't do this for me. I mean who sits there atadobe's end and thinks up of ways to slow someone down like this??How can you remove the corequick linking from the program.Number 1 not everyone is on AS3 and some of us still have to updateAS2 code.

View 5 RepliesI'm using flash cs4 on a mac and I need to embed some characters to support greek, and probably a lot of other languages. The problem is, my Character embedding dialogue box is empty! There's nothing in it at all... I'm using Tekton Pro as the font for that dynamic text box, I tried using something more basic, Arial and Helvitica didnt work, still nothing to embed. I know the phrase that will be in it, at least the first one, when I put it in the "Include these characters" box and reran, all the dt box would show is an apostrophe. I put the phrase into the dt filed itself and "autofilled" it did the same thing. I also tried doing the same with the % character version ie %B6, it picked up that they were characters but still wasnt displaying right. I'm diverging.
View 3 Replieshow to get the charCode from the character but I cant seem to find out how to get the character from the charcode.
Basically I am I am listening for the KeyDown event on a TextInput.
I prevent the char from being typed via event.preventDefault();
Later I need to add the text-char to the TextInput.
I can get the charCode via event.charCode so if I can turn that into a string I can save it for later user.
Why I need it
Basically I am making a TextInput, that that I can set to display default text in it. When A user types into it, I want to remove the default text first then add the user typed text.
Currently I am either removing it all, or ending up with both.
I have a menu screen that for various reasons consists of a number of buttons as separate flash movies. When a button inside these movies is clicked, it is supposed to call a javascript function to move to the appropriate page. It works fine in firefox, but is currently failing in IE7. I don't have an IE6 handy to test on.This is the error I get in IE:[code]I can't locate what char 25 of line 1 might actually mean. I only get the error when I click on the button, and after installing Visual Web Developer to try and get some actual debugging, it doesn't seem to be actually firing the function that is called, so it seems like the error is happening in whatever mechanism actually makes ExternalInterface.call work?[code]
But as i said it doesn't even show up if I put a breakpoint here and debug it. If I put a javascript:gohere('id') link in the html screen and click that it works fine.I have ExternalInterface.call working in other parts of the same project, and can't for the life of me see any differences in the way it has been implemented.

If I import a font to the library, am I correct in assuming that it imports the massive character set (all). There seems to be no setting that I can see where to specify the glyphs or level of character support for example all the funny characters.
View 9 RepliesThis code works when I click in the text field and try to enter letters. ActionScript Code:

I'm trying to use the restrict property of a TextInput field to limit the entry of minutes, so restricting the number of characters to 2, while restricting the first character to the range [0-5] and the second character to the range [0-9]

I'm puzzled by the use of the colon in the return line of this function (return {r:r, g:g, b:b}). It returns an object with the properties r, g, and b, but I couldn't find this usage in any reference I've looked at. Is there any documentation of this?

My copy of Flash CS3 seems to have a problem with its Autoformatting. Whenever I press the button, it adds a semi-colon to the end of every single line (apart from the beginning of functions). There's no problem with the Edit > Preferences > Auto format menu.
