I want to redirect the following code when the target isn't
available.
function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndStop(event.target.name);
[Code]....
The code works great but I'm building a large site and would like to have a default swf that loads when the target isn't available. I tried various if statements when event.target.name == null but haven't been able to get any of them to work.
Can I change an event target's name? or it's an only-read property? I've been googling it but to no avail... For example, say this is my button code:
[Code]...
if trace the event target's name, you get buttonOne. But what I need to do is have the event's target's name to become buttonOne1. because I already have a button with the instance name. That's my setup, not the way I would do it OF COURSE, but this is the way the unique file is setup for my aunt, to have two set of buttons that calls the same image...(not the thumbnail issue I had before)... so the Question: is there a way to add a letter or remove a letter from the event target's name? You know how you can add a letter to the beginning of an array like buttonsArray.unshift(newButton)....can you do the same thing with an event.target.name?
is it possible to change the target level of a MovieClip? So I have two instances of the same MovieClip, both on level0.[code]Basically, now btn2 will disappear, and btn1 will remain visible.
View 1 RepliesI have gallery which I want to modify. Now, I load big image on the stage by clicking thumbnail menu. I can see a small preview of that thumbnail on mouse over. Thumbnail preview is done by cloning thumbnail image and nest that image into thumbnail preview window.
[Code]...
However, it did not work yet. I do something wrong. I am wondering if someone can help me to figure it out. I spent a lot of time to modify it as It looked like a simple thing but without any success. I will provide more information if needed. The project consists of many classes I can explain more if the information I provided is not enough.
I've created a simple drag 'n' drop game and I want the color of the target to be changed only when the user puts inside it all the text frames.
The instance name of the target is "targetCircle" and that of the text frames is "circle_mc", "circle1_mc"....."circle5_mc".
I've made a loop that is creating 9x movieClips that is loading external images and I have also added eventListeners to those movieClips to make it possible to change the movieclips image. My problem is that i can't access the target of the "first eventListener". Here is the code to browse for the new image, i want to access the movieclip of this function in a later eventListener, like this: event.CurrentTarget
Code:
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onFileSelected);
function mUp(event:MouseEvent):void{
file.browse(new Array(new FileFilter( "Bild (JPG och JPEG)", "*.jpg;*.jpeg;")));
}
The second eventListener. This function is called when the new image is selected
Code:
function onFileSelected(event:Event):void{
file.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadCompleteHandler);
file.load();
}
The third and last function, this function is called when the image is loaded and is ready to be used.
Code:
function loadCompleteHandler(event:Event):void{
file.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadCompleteHandler);
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.loadBytes(event.target.data);
// Here is the problem!
event.target.addChild(loader)
}
If if put this code, it will target the second function's event.
Code:
event.target.addChild(loader);
I am searching for a code looking like this to replace the old image with the new one
Code:
event.target.target.addChild(loader);
i have a loop that attaches clips of the picFrame to a holder clip based on the number of childNodes. how do i target the selected picFrame clip and have it call the function resizeFrame to change the width of just the border clip inside the picFrame the onRelease was chosen? i realize under the resize function i have it targeting the holder clip's width. i just don't know what else to do and i've tried many else's.
[Code]....
On the attached exercise, is it possible to stop further items being dragged onto a target when the target box is full?

View 2 Repliesqi have a movieclip which is added to the stage:
var profileholder:profileHolder=new profileHolder ;
inside of profileholder is another movieclip(infoBtn) that acts as a button.when the mouse is over profileholder i want to do something with infoBtn like:
//profOver is the over state of profileholder
function profOver(e:Event) {
e.target.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
this doesn't work and brings up this error:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property infoBtn not found on flash.display.Loader and there is no default value.
at main_fla::MainTimeline/profOver()
i also tried:
function profOver(e:Event) {
var item:profileHolder=e.target as profileHolder;
item.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
and get this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
i don't know why this isn't working.i got a button. and when it's pressed, i need it to go and play a frame in a movie clip. i'll test it and then when i click on it, i get this:
Target not found: Target="whoweare" Base="_level0.instance20.instance48.instance49"
this is the code that i am using:
on (press) {
tellTarget ("whoweare") {
gotoAndPlay (51);
}
}
so, i'm making an animated rollover, and i get an output error that says this:
Target not found: Target="_root.icon01" Base="_level0"
i have no idea what the base="_level0" means.
Is there any way to change a context menu that already has been personalized. I have an small application that I purchased to learn with and also to save some time. When I right click the context menu appears with the other person's information in it. I want to change that information if it is possible to do so. I tried
var my_menu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
my_menu.hideBuiltInItems();
contextMenu = my_menu;
and added my info but the menu will not change from the person I got the app from. Is this considered unethical or illegal? I put so much work into this, I don't want the person to get credit for it.

View 3 RepliesI am displaying a combo box in something of a WYSIWYG preview. I want the user to be able to click on the combo box and see the options inside, but I don't want them to be able to change the value. I tried using preventDefault() on the change event but it doesn't work. I don't want to disable it because I do want the user to be able to "look inside" the dropdown.
So I'm trying to block the change, but can't. My next resort is to change the selected index back to what it was before the change, Is there any way to do this within the scope of a ListEvent.CHANGE event listener?
Current Workaround is to basically re-assign the controls selected item the same way I am defining the selected item when I originally build it (a default selection). So a user sees their change then it immediately changes back to the default selection.
So basically I have a class which adds items and needs a drag and drop. I change the x value of the entire contianer class simply by this.x = something
By drag and drop all the items slide across the screen. When I trace the x value of the container class it has changed, but the x value of the items stayed the same (although their x value on the screen definitely changed).

View 1 RepliesThrough attachMovie I have loaded an mc from the library onto the stage into "holder_mc".
myButton.onRelease = function () {
if (currentWork != "holder_mc.myWork1_mc") {
holder_mc.attachMovie("myWork_mc","myWork1_mc", getNextHighestDepth());
currentWork = "holder_mc.myWork1_mc";
}
}
This works.
However, there are a couple of buttons (mc) inside "myWork1_mc" which skips through a few slides in the myWork1_mc clip that I cannot target. I thought using:
holder_mc.myWork1_mc.buttonName_mc.onRelease = function () {
trace("MC_pressed");
}
... would work. My curser doesn't even change to the hand symbol. How do I target an dymanically loaded MC from the library which is inside an empty holder MC on the stage via attachMovie? What am i missing? Believe me, I have spent hours trying to google it.
Note: at this stage there is no other script on "holder_mc", but there will be at a later date, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Also, the buttons work when I place the MC onto the stage and not use attachMovie.
I have a simple button that goes to a URL when clicked, but it's opening a new window. I want it to target "_self"-- but I'm getting errors. How do I properly target the same window?
[Code]..
Seems like AS3 is more about writing code than AS2.I would normally write the code on the button:
Code:
on(release){
getURL("http://sample.com". "_blank");
}
Instead in AS3 I have to do this for a button action:
Code:
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonFunction);
function myButtonFunction(event: MouseEvent) {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.sample.com");
navigateToURL(request);
}
How do I add the _blank target function to this AS3 code. I am still trying to get use to this AS3 concept.
I used to use an old school method in AS2 to talk to a movieclip to go to different states like on rollover but how do I do this in AS3 now?
Code:
on (rollOver) {
with (myclip) {
gotoAndStop("on");
}
}
I know that with went out a long time ago but it worked!I know in AS3 to handle a click you have to do this:
Code:
mybtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(1);
}
what I want to do with targeting a rollover with a button.
I need to have a button to target a movie clip in a separate swf placed in a separate window.
//

I've never used css before. How to get it to load the lightbox above the flash.
