I had created a TextField o stage. When a button is clicked, I need to display this textfield for a limited time period(say, 3 to 5 seconds) and then after 5 seconds, I want it to be invisible.
View 2 RepliesI have 3 text fields that display weather conditions from the Weather.com XML web service. The 3 text fields need to be visible only during a certain segment of the Flash Video that is set as the application's background. Do I use AS3 to specify visiblity? If so, how do I reference a certain range of frames in which the fields should be visible?
View 1 RepliesI have created a timeline with visibility button against each column. The timeline.swf is loaded into two empty movieclips to create a two-screen operation. Everything works fine except, I cannot for the life of me get the visibility button on the first swf to affect the visibility for the column on the second swf.

I'm having trouble testing for an object's visibility on the stage without using an event listener. I know this is pretty basic, but I can't seem to find anything online and none of my flash friends are around eitherowing code, what is it that I need to do to activate the function? I thought you could write a function without having an event listener.
function test (e:Event) {
if (square_mc.visible==true) {
trace("square is visible");

I have a symbol called Score which has 1 static textfield and 1 dynamic textfield called scoreDisplay. Instead of dragging the symbol into the FLA and naming the symbol right there I want to add it as an object instead.
When I add it through the FLA and try to update the score in the textfield everything works, but I don't get it to work using AS.
So, is there any way to name an object that you create by using addChild in the same way you name it when you drag it into the FLA?

I have instantiated an instance of a class that performs a URLload action. When that is complete I want to pass the loaded value to a textfield within the parent object. How do I pass the value out of the instantiated object to the parent object's textfield ?
View 3 RepliesI want a typewriter-effect. So that it looks like the code in the string is typed character by character (for an animation). However, I get a #1009 back. It talks about a null object reference (the error is in Dutch).My dynamic text field is in the same scene, on a different layer. codeTekst is the instance name. It is classic, dynamic text.

I'm just creating a movieclip from a text field object on the stage, giving it an instance name and setting some timeline animated over and out states for it. I'm then setting it up in AS3 to work like a button, so nothing complicated at all. But I am getting errors I have never seen before. Code is very simple basically I have a button called 'hair' contained within the mc 'menu', here it is:
Code:
menu.hair.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER , itemOver);
function itemOver(e:Event):void {
trace(e.target);
e.target.gotoAndPlay('over');
}
So I noticed there are some new text options in CS5, but none of them give the result I want. If I leave this as the (now default) TLF text, it gives a couple of errors related to this no longer being a movieclip;
Code:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property gotoAndPlay not found on flash.text.engine.TextLine and there is no default value.
at CL022_fla::MainTimeline/itemOver()
[object SimpleButton]
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property gotoAndPlay not found on flash.display.SimpleButton and there is no default value.
at CL022_fla::MainTimeline/itemOver()
[object TextLine]
If I change it to classic, there are no errors, but the gotoAndPlay does not work. If I change the text to outlines, it works as per normal.
I have several Sprites that are all combined in one parent Sprite. The parent Sprite then gets a Glowfilter applied and should then be masked by a Textfield.
Everythings working fine but as soon as I apply the Filter to the Sprite nothing shows... However, if I apply the Filter to every single Object that the Sprite contains, it works...

I want to combine this output with a few more to refer to my object / array. The remoteHolder contains the value I need to know which object (tabData0, tabData1, etc) to retrieve the info from.

I am making a Scrollbar component and I want a script to call a calculation function for resizing the scrollbar when a new data is loaded.I was experimenting with Object.watch but it's use is beyond me. I don't understand if its the thing I need.Can Object.watch call a function when say a dynamic textfield's data is changed?

Is there a better way to do use a use a boolean with visible? I'm setting up animations that have conditions for visibility, and I don't want to use something that performs poorly. This animation blinks 30 times and stops. It works without error, but takes a moment to load. I would like to learn other ways of using visibility with conditionals.
This is what I used 'waits before playing'
if(condition=5){
box.visible = !box.visible;
This works fine 'no pause'
if(condition<6){
box.visible = !box.visible;

I have recently started using AS3 and can't seem to get to grips with some basic syntax for parent/root navigation. My problem is, I have an intro movieclip on the stage that plays first, when that is done i want some code on the last frame that navigates to another movieclip on the main stage to set its visibility to true. i have tried mMovieclip(root).mOther.visible = true; and a lot of other variations. Do i need to set them up as children? or something else.
View 3 RepliesHow would I write a loop that cycled through all the movieclips within a container clip and did something to each one?
For example say i have 6 movielcips in holder_mc, and I want to change each one's visibility? I need it to be dynamic so it will still loop through all clips whether 2 are in there or 20.
I'm currently working on a site that is a mixture of Dreamweaver and Flash. I have some Flash movies that are in DIVs in DW. I need to have some links in those Flash movies that can control visibility of other DIVs. In other words I need a link in the Flash movie to work like DWs Show-Hide Elements feature. Is this even possible? I'm using DW CS3 but Flash MX 2004.

I have 11 images i need to _x slide (left and right ) using 2 buttons. ( next and back )my goal is to show two images at a time ( contained inside img_MC..consisting of all 11) inside a 748 x 419 mask. I have accomplished this but the next button and the back button need to disapear when img_mc is at a certain _x position...so that if you are at the last frame you can only go back...and if you are at the first frame you can only go next.
so far going forward I can get next to show...and going back I can get back to show...but in the middle when I need them both to be there I only have one or the other.
