ActionScript 3.0 :: Tabbing Affecting MovieClip The Wrong Way?
Mar 28, 2011
I have a quiz that randomly sorts then dynamically places a question and its answer choices. An answer is a text field laid over a movie clip with a resizable, invisible rectangle and a radio-type button (not actually the radio button component) that handles the rollover and feedback. When clicked, it looks like a selected radio button if correct and has a big red X if incorrect. At this point, I remove all its eventListeners and leave it in the feedback state because the user gets to try again. It also places a feedback box on the screen with the standard, "Try again."
This all works perfectly with the mouse, but the quiz is for .gov sites, so it has to be 508 compliant. When tabbing to and clicking on an answer, the feedback button works fine, and the feedback dialogue does, too. When tabbing to another answer, however, the incorrect try resets to its up state, minus the eventListeners. I am disabling buttonMode when the eventListeners are removed, and I've tried doing all this before the feedback box is placed, as it's placed, and after the user clicks to continue. It doesn't make a difference, and neither does including tabEnabled = false; I tried not even adding the FOCUS_IN and FOCUS_OUT, and that didn't make a difference.
I could removeChild and then add it back as a new, never-been-a-button object, but if there is a simple setting, I'd like to know about it.

got a big fixed dimension boxe that have 9 small child boxes positionned like this:
1 2 3
The big boxe is 300x300 and each small boxe are 100x100.
What I need to do is that, if I stretch boxe #1 to 150x150, boxes #2 should become 50x100 so the big boxe remain the same..... hope I'm clear enough.
So, how can I do this dynamically hasving in mind that the big boxe can contain unlimited numbers of small boxe?
I just need a startnig point to figured out how to acheive this in AS3,

I have x amount of MCs arranged vertically with the distance between each being the same. When I roll over any of them the X & Y scale increases for that particular MC with a tween and on roll out they decrease to the MC's original size. Here comes the sticky bit...how can I maintain the distance between each when the scale of an individual MC is increased/decreased? I have attached a basic swf to show you what I mean. (Only the middle MC is active).

I have a few language buttons on frame 1 (englishbtn, spanishbtn) in a long timeline with a bunch of keyframes, buttons and movieclips. What I don't know how to do is set up the buttons so that, when pressed, tells a movieclip on a keyframe later in the timeline, to be on a specific frame label (english, spanish).
In other words, when the game gets to the later keyframe with text movieclip, I want the movieclip on that frame to be at a specific frame in the clip (english, spanish), because the button was pressed on frame 1. Some of the text is deep in movieclips on various frames. So those movieclips need to be on the spanish frame, if spanish button on frame1 was pressed.

I have a movie clip object with a width of 306 and height of 194. I need to change the dimensions of the movie clip and still have the x and y scale set at 100. Currently when I change the movie clip width to 352.8, the x scale increases to 115.3%. I have to have the scale reset to 100% after I've adjusted the movie clip's width. Is there a way to do this in CS3? (this is all in design mode, not run time). Do I need to delete the movie clip and recreate it?

The idea is to click on a mc that takes you back one frame (into a different room) and it changes the visibilty of another mc in the new room to false. Here is the code so far:
poodle_mc.onPress=function(){ _root.rooms_mc.safeClosed_mc._visible=false; _root.rooms_mc.gotoAndStop("Office");}
I return to the "Office" frame just fine but the safeClosed_mc is still visible

I have a masked movieclip which contains nothing but static text inserted from the IDE (not programatically).
In the IDE it states this movieclips height to be 332.25, however when I trace the movieclips _height property it returns 327.3.
This is causing my scrollbar code to mess up as it is not scrolling down far enough. It is also not a one off thing, every block of text I make in the IDE exhibits this behaviour.

I've a movieclip in my library ready for export to ActionScript. It's width and height is (723, 614.05), but I tried to put it on stage manually and check. When I get the item from library in ActionScript i get that's it's width and height is (743.65, 626.75). How can that be possible?

I have a MovieClip inside a stage that is mostly(not accurately) centered to the middle of the stage.
When I try to save the MovieClip into a bitmap in order to upload it to facebook, I either get a cropped image or a white image(blank). Here is the code for generating the bitmap:
var source:BitmapData = new BitmapData(board.width, board.height);
source.draw(board);
var bitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(source);
The result I am getting is the yellow area in the following image:

Basically I have a load of movieclips on one frame, and a load of the same type on the second frame. However, when you're coming from the first frame to the second frame, Flash decides to place the new movieclips in the same position as the old movieclips (from the first frame) rather than where I placed them in Flash.
I vaguely remember seeing something like this before, but I can't for the life of me remember the solution. Any of you guys know what's happening here?
Just a note, it looks as if giving the movieclips instance names stops it - but this isn't really plausible for me as I could have hundreds of movieclips on each frame..

I'm trying to export my movie clip into an image, everything works fine but when the user draws in negative coordinates, the draw bitmap command doesn't get my movieclip as I need, here's a graphic explanation of what's going on:As you can see the user can draw in any part of my movie clip (black border), the 0,0 coordinates are in this example located in the black spot. when I get the bounds of my object I get correct values (in this case i get negative x and y and the correct width and height), but when I apply the draw bitmap command what its captured is the area represented with the red border, the height and width values are correct but it captures from the 0,0 coordinates and not from the coordinates I want! anyone? i have a dead line approaching.this is the code:
ActionScript Code:
//funciones click
function exp_cli(e:MouseEvent):void {

I have a movieclip with static text inside of it. The width (correct one) of the movieclip is 204 px, this is what it even reports after dragging it from library to stage. However, if I export the movie and trace the width of the movieclip, I get 214 px. Inside of the clip is a static text field - it is not wider than the clip and it is not even filled up with text completely. Now if I change it to dynamic text and I export the movie, I get the correct width - 204.

So I've 2 buttons and I can tab between them like this:
Code:
butt1.tabIndex = 1
butt2.tabIndex = 2
Simple. So now I drag a combo box onto the stage and nothing tabs anymore!
I can then set the combobox to be tabbable but the mc's don't tab anymore
Code:
combo1.tabIndex = 3
The only way around this I have found is to remove the focus manager but then only the mc's are tabable again!
Code:
_root.focusManager.removeMovieClip()
butt1.tabIndex = 1
butt2.tabIndex = 2
combo1.tabIndex = 3
the only way I can see to get all of them tabable is to use "tabChildren":
Code:
_root.focusManager.removeMovieClip()
butt1.tabIndex = 1
butt2.tabIndex = 2
combo1.tabChildren = true
combo1.tabIndex = 3
but this then makes the combox editable for some reason and if I turn it off it stops being tabable again

To allow you to tab through itemrenderers in spark you simply set hasFocusableChildren="true". However when you tab to a row/tile which is not visible, it doesn't automatically scroll the List.
What's the easiest way of making this happen?

I have a form in Flash. I have the tab order set up thusly:
Code:
fname.tabIndex = 1;
mi.tabIndex = 2;
lname.tabIndex = 3;
[Code]....
Everything is fine, except the "state" field is actually a combo box component. It will tab from "city" to "state", but when you hit "Tab", it does not move the focus to the next field.
Is there some trick to this or some other code or a paramater I'm overlooking? Do I have to make a customer key listener to make it tab off a combo box?

I'm building a complex movie using MX2004 and ActionScript 2. Problem: I can't get text tabbing to work, no matter how closely I control the situation using tabIndex, tabEnabled and tabChildren.
While working to simplify a reproduction case, I've ended up with a movie that works, just having four Input Text TextFields hand-added to the timeline, no code involved. But, when I drag a Button from the Components window to the library, tabbing breaks. This is without even placing the Button on the timeline. Remove the Button from the library and it works again. Needless to say my project uses Buttons, and I'd rather not have to re-implement them.
Let me say it again. In a generic, timeline-based movie with no ActionScript included, tabbing works between Input Text fields. But the mere act of adding a Button instance to the library, without the Button ever appearing in the timeline, breaks tabbing. I'm flummoxed: why would something being present in the library, without any appearance in the time line (nor any Actionscript to add it), have anything to do with the movie's functionality? True, adding the Button increases the size of the published .swf from 177 bytes to 27kB, but why would it break things when I'm not even using it?
I've attached the broken movie. Open it and test it: tabbing won't work. Delete the Button from the library, test again: tabbing will work.

I'm sure someone must have accomplished this before, but I couldn't find any article on this.
How can we scroll a List control (with uses an itemrenderer) to the next item, when the user tabs from the current item to the next?
I know that we can use scrollToIndex(i), but how do we notify the List that the itemrenderer has moved to the next index? I couldn't find any such event.

I'm having difficulty setting up the tabbing of some textfields after I disable and then re-enable the tabChildren property. Has anyone found a solution for this? I'll use a very simple example. I set the tabIndex of all the textfields. I test it out and the textfields tab properly. Then I set the following pseudo code to a button which will disable all the textfield tabbing in a particular MovieClip ("mcForm") and then one line later, it re-enables the tabbing:
mcForm.tabChildren = false;
mcForm.tabChildren = true;
However, the expected behavior does not happen. I expect that when I click the button, there would be no change in the tabbing, but in actuality the tabbing of the textfields are now disabled. It's almost as if the 2nd line of code that re-enables the tabbing has no effect.

I have a set of 5 TextFields that a user enters info into. Each has the same TextFormat applied. If the focus is set by clicking with the mouse, the TextFormat is applied and all is well. If the focus is set by tabbing, the TextFormat is not applied and a default style for the font is seen. Here's my code:
Code:
var input1:TextField = new TextField();

Or fill in the "Go Black" form at the bottom of the page and tab between fields. What's the deal with that white box? Where does it come from? Why is it there? How do I kill it forever?

I am having some trouble figuring out how to work auto-tabbing between input text fields when a user inputs a character. I have a series of text boxes with maxChar set to 1, and when the user inputs a character, I would like it to auto-tab to the next one. I'm putting together a crossword-style banner ad so the auto-tabbing willtremendously. All the input text fields are instanced on the stage as input1, input2, etc; not called in from a custom class.

I have a simple form I created in flash and I set it up so you can tab from one field to the next. The problem is when I tab to one of the fields, a multiline textbox, it starts on the second line of that field. If I click on the textfield it goes to the 1st line.
The code is pretty simple:
_styleLibForm.tabChildren = true;
_styleLibForm.first_name.tabIndex = 1;
_styleLibForm.first_name.tabEnabled = true;

swfobject.embedSWF("Main.swf", "flashcontent", "984", "550", "10.0.0", params,flashvars, attributes, "expressInstall.swf");
Expected outcome when tabbing is to see "yellow boxes" on all items with click events. I don't see anything all browsers. WMODE is 'window'

I have a few textAreas (input fields) in a form.When I click on the Tab key, the focus shifts to the textArea. And along with this, a green outline comes around the textArea... How can I avoid the textArea outline color? I guess there must be a piece of AS out there which would help, it's just I did not find it and Official Docs won't say much about it.it does not happen so if compiled the movie under AS 1.0. It only has this behaviour when published with AS 2.0 (and perhaps AS 3.0 donno).
