ActionScript 3.0 :: Text On Buttons Disables Button Part 2
Jul 1, 2009
I've created a 3 state button, then imported it to a movie clip. I want to use a set of 6 of the identical buttons as navigation controls, so I've created 6 instances all named uniquely. My problem seems terribly simple, but I can't find an answer anywhere and I've spent hours going in circles.
No matter how I put a text label on the button (right now it is built into the button as dynamic text), when running the final file when the user's mouse is on the text the button cannot be clicked - it disables the button. So I have 6 buttons that cannot be clicked unless the user clicks right on the edge of the button (not on any part of the text). Is there not a simple way to overcome this? How do I make the text part of the button so it is clickable as well?

I have buttons on my main timeline which calls a MC using attachmovie(). I have placed an EmptyMC on my main timleline for the MC to be inserted.

Now, this particular MC has buttons on it which work fine. However, when I add a throw component onto the EmptyMC, which basicly lets me drag/throw my attached mc, the buttons are disabled. How can I go about correcting this?
Here is the code for the button on the main timeline:
on (release) {
_root.EmptyMC.attachMovie("Content Def", "Clip2", 1);
}
Here is the code from the component I have attached to the EmptyMC:
#initclip 0
function ThrowBehaviorClass(){
// get the target
var target = this._parent[this._targetInstanceName];
// set up the various properties

I have a few online magazines I run and I have noticed that when in full screen mode in Google Chrome, all my buttons, everything is disabled I just have a 'hand' for a mouse and nothing works.
My fullscreen option works on all other browsers its only Google Chrome it seems to of disabled any user interaction whilst in full screen mode.
I have tried searching but cant find any similar problems, and need this fixed ASAP. You Tube works in full screen mode on Google Chrome, so it cant just be a Google Chrome bug. Maybe there are some added security features you have to code for in Google Chrome.
Here is a link, make sure you are using Google Chrome or you wont replicate the error.
Try the navigation on the top bar, then click full screen top left, then notice how no buttons work anymore.

I am rather new to AS3 and I have a few difficulties with the new buttons usage. I have a Document Class in which the Keyboard is used to navigate a Child. There is also another Child of a different class, which is kind of a popup box that you can open and close by separate buttons. The close button lies inside the popup box class. However, when I click this button to close the box, removing the Child, keyboard actions don't react until I click on the screen once more.The same happens when I click a button that goes to the next frame, in which the button isn't there anymore, but keyboard actions are requested. But they only work, once I click inside the swf screen again.

I added a button symbol to a movie clip in a Flash 8 project, and the button works. OnPress it redirects to a web site.However, the animation in the movie clip becomes diabled. I get the same effect regardless of where the button is placed, e.g. scene1 timeline, movie clip, etc.

I'm trying to make it so that when a user inputs the correct word an event happens. It almost works except that the event doesn't fire until the NEXT keystroke. Is there a way to test for the word AFTER the keystroke has become part of WriteInOneText.text, without adding a separate button or anything? Here's the code:

I want to make some buttons and use the buttons.fla library. The button is inserted and given an instance name. A second button is inserted (same kind) and given a new instance name. But when I am trying to change the label text in one of my buttons the text is changing on the other button as well. I believed they where separate instances?

I've got a windows that I can move with the startDrag script. This works just perfectly fine. When I load some text into a textbox inside the mc (window mc) the drag-script isn't working, neither is the close window script. But the text loads just fine. Why is this happening? I haven't changed anything in any of the scripts. If I just delete the loadVariablesNum("info.txt",0); line I can move the windows again.

i have a for loop to attach a movieclip X times, and an Array with several color codes to apply in the loop.everything works fine with the setRGB. the movies have an internal background movieclip that gets the color i want to apply.
the thing is the movieclip's loose the animation i created to that internal movie (the one who get's the color). they do not respond to gotoAndPlay, or gotoAndStop...i disabled the setRGB lines, and the movie's play fine now. does setRGB transform my movieclips to a bitmap or something? disabling every animation inside?

So I'm trying my hand at writing my first tower defense game and I've discovered a snag. One part of the game involves keyboard input, but if I click on an object to create a tower, then the keyboard stops responding until I click on the background. My keyboard listeners are attached to the stage and the object being clicked is a button in a MovieClip added to the game's MovieClip.

gotoAndPlay("s1");

When i put a dropshadowfilter on a dynamic textfield with html-content, the links (a href) stop working.The textfields rotate in flash 3D space so they have a transformmatrix applied to them. Could this be the reason? Anybody had problems with html-links and dropshadowfilter applied to the textfield? it makes no difference if you put the filter on the textfield itself or the movieclip container around it.

I have a swf file "home" that has a series of animations that are button controled.I want part of the animation to be skipped when I click one specific button, for instance.Most of the time I want frame label:"1 out" to play all the way through to the last frame (20) and on frame (20) there is an action sending it back to frame 1and stopping, but I need to have a button that when hit plays frame label 1: "1 out" and continues to frame (19) and does not utilize the action on frame (20) sending it back to frame (1), or in other words playing through "1 out" and then playing "2 out" which occurs on frame 21 without returning to frame (1).

I'm a beginner actionscripter, so I hope you will take that into account when replying. The problem I am having is that a client has asked me to place a call to action button inside a textbox that scrolls. My idea was to create a movieclip containing the text and the button, then place that movieclip inside a scroll pane. I've been monkeying around with it all day and have made minimal headway. I'm not even sure of the best way to accomplish this.
If one of you learned actionscripters out there could point me in the right direction, perhaps I can find my own solution. The client wants me to use custom icons for the scrollbars, and as altering a scrollbar component seems like such a PIA, I'm trying to avoid using components.

I'm trying to put an "invisible" button under part of a large button, but if I put it under the larger button, the invisible button doesn't work. If I put it on top of part of the large button, the large button doesn't work... Is there some way to make it so that both the buttons work...?

I am having this weird problem when I load an XML document.The last part of the text doesn't 'wrap', if that is the proper english expression; the lines don't go to the next line they just get lost. You can see what I mean in this link, by clicking on the Kaiser Chiefs item/photo/text, and then scroll down in the article. However, when you go back to home and do it again, the text looks allright! But that is too late of course.

I have a replay button that is already working great, but I want the arrow part of the button to spin in the 'Over' state. What I tried was creating a looped frame. I went inside the button itself, (button composed of an arrow symbol and text). I then went to the 'Over' state and went to edit the arrow symbol itself.when I drag the playheader in there, it seems to loop just fine, but when I export it it's not working.

I am doing a simple Flash button that controls the playing of a moving clip.I want the movie to go to frame one and play when I mouse over the button and I want it to go to frame 12 and play when I mouse out. I have stop(); at frames 1, 12 and 25 to prevent looping.The mouse_over part works fine, but the mouse_out part is unresponsive.Here is my actionscript:
stop();

For example if the text inside an html textfield is:
Line 1 Lorem ipsem, <b>Lorem</b> ipsem,
Line 2 Lorem ipsem, Lorem ipsem,Line 3 Lorem ipsem, Lorem ipsem.
And if i replace the text on line 2 and make it bold without effecting line 1.

in a flash template i found several buttons with almost the same action script code. on pressing the button a window popup with different text (for each button a unique text). the following code is in the code section of the buttons, only the two last codelines are different for each button.
[Code]...
so i think that the input of the unique text for each button is handled in the last line "_root.READ = 22". i also found in the bibliothek the belonging text parts. my problem now is that i dont know where the connection is set between the text part and the array/variable READ. in this case the connection is 22, but i dont found any property in the text part or in the property of the button where the connection is set to 22. i use flash cs4.

I'm working on an auto complete Input Text field. The user starts to type the state name "Pennsylvania" and when they reach 4 letters the box auto completes. My code is as follows and works:
[Code]...
Instead of auto completing I want the "sylvania" of Pennsylvania to be added to the text box but highlighted. So if the user keeps typing the "sylvania" part will be deleted or if they press the right arrow key the "sylvania" part will be added. Similar to how Google's auto complete works.
