I want to put togther a set of buttons built with my generic button class that is put on the stage with the main class Here is what I have put together so far. The GButton class works just great, but going from there up I am having a problem.

I have a bunch of nested movieclips. I set a var "foo" on the topmost clip. A child clip wants to know the value of foo: easy enough, i just call parent.foo.But what if I don't know how far down the tree the child resides in? Worse, what if foo changes every so often on new branches?My first thought was to simply add thisvar foo = parent.footo every clip, but this of course requires every clip have that line, or it breaks, and it doens'tus if a new child is inserted, or if a parent "foo" value changes.I was thinking that I could call a recursive function, where a child asks it parent, then its parent's parent, etc, for the value of foo along its particular branch...
function whatIsFoo(obj) {
if(obj.parent.foo==undefined) {
return whatIsFoo(obj.parent)

I'm trying to build an animated menu with seven buttons, 3 of which need a submenu. I have 4 regular buttons and 3 mc's on the main timeline. After creating the first mc with 6 submenu items that appear onRollover and trying to target the submenu buttons to open a new page nothing happens when I click on the button. I attached this code to the submenu button while it in the "Over":
Code:
on (release) {
this.skiMenu_mc.skMain_btn.getURL("ski/sk_main.htm", "_self");
}
Here's the complete fla file if you're interested. I'm using Flash MX 2004.
I just signed up and am fairly new to flash so I hope I'm posting in the right spot. My problem that I'm having is I am trying to build a menu consisting 3 buttons, side by side that open and reveal subnavigation buttons on rollover. Then on rollout of the main container button, they close back to where they were. I have built the buttons and everything works great, the only problem is that on rollover of the internal buttons, the main button senses this as a roll out and plays the rollout animation event (closes the button). How can I make the main button not sense the rollovers of the internal buttons and only play the rollout event on rollout of the main button?
View 2 RepliesI have been trying to build a navigation that has a rollout animation but functioning internal buttons. This navigation uses the theory I'm trying to recreate, it seems simple enough but I can't figure it out for the life of me![URL] I tried this variable, but it renders the internal buttons undetectable and is very unstable midanimation (if you rollover it while in transit, the button goes crazy):

In TFS 2010 build, I have a new build and I want to call an ant script that builds Flash. How do I call the ant script? Also How can I compile the Flash directly? I've seen the Power Tools and this question but it doesn't help me as we don't have TFS 2008. I can't find any documentation on how to use the power tools except the 1 sentence on the bottom of download page saying to create your build the old way and import it (which isn't very helpful). I've installed the power tools on the agent computer but I don't see any new options in the Toolbox when I'm designing the build flow.
View 2 RepliesI just started working with ant a few days ago. Right now I have a general buildall.xml which should call each project's build.xml. Because some projects depend on each other, I need to rebuild some other projects which depend on it. This isn't a problem--I'm just setting the depends property of the target. However, ant is always building the dependencies, even when the files haven't changed.Let's say project1 has no dependencies; project2 depends on project1; project3 depends on project1, 2; project4 depends on project1, 2, and 3; and so on.I could hack a solution which looks at project K, and checks if project 1 .. project K have updated files using uptodate. If so, then run the target. This is messy and appears unnecessary.
What is the cleanest way to implement this?EDIT: So I decided to just hack in a bunch of targets, "check_projectK" where it does the uptodate checks on all of its source files, its build file, and the build files of the 1 .. K-1 projects. Due to dependencies, this is always handled correctly. However, this is still a large amount of copy and paste for a large workspace.
Using FDT, when I have a debug configuration with several operations in the launcher chain and the final launcher opens in Flash Player, how can I retrieve the build output from the console once the build is complete and Flash player is running?
It seems that once Flash Player has started the console clears to make way for the application's trace output, but I need to be able to look back over the events and build times for each item in my launch chain while Flash Player is running. Is there a setting I can enable to either log my build output to a file or to preserve it in the console?
Edit: I know I can still read the info when building normally, this question is specifically for building with the debugger.
I am trying to build a web banner, the functionality of which has to be pretty identical to the one on the following home page http://www.perfectblue.co.uk/. The only difference is that I am using static images, not flvs like in that banner. I am sitting here planning how to build it but its going right over my head. Can anyone give me any advice about how to script something that works like that? At a first glance, I thought possibley onRollOver / RollOut functions but now I'm not so sure.
View 2 Replies[URL].. looking to build a gallery like that with fade transitions and next/previous buttons. that particular one is using an XML file for the photos. Any ideas or tutorials?
The one they are using is from a $30 program but I would like to see if there is a way to do it without paying for a program.
what I'm trying to make first, so: [URL] the big main box that shows the lastest stuff You can mouse over the small boxes and the content in the main box changes, and if you don't do anything, it goes through the different stories like a slideshow [URL] - like the ign box but hovering over it doesn't do anything, you have to click the button for the content to change So I'm trying to create a mix of the above two, like a slideshow but doesn't change when you mouseover, instead need to click it (see attached file).
What I've done so far is add the time interval, and created links on each page to each other, but if I click a link or let the slideshow run more than one loop it starts speeding up uncontrollably. I think I need to use clearInterval or something, but can't find any tutorials that actually make sense.
I have tried some tutorials but I can't ever get one to work. This program is so complicated. how it was created? All the layers only have one keyframe. Where are the edits/tweens?

Not sure if this better for stackoverflow or apple.stackexchange.com (as there is a programming angle and a apple angle) so hopefully this is the right place. i need to build a website that normally would need to be done in flash (because of the requirements for animation) but the owner wants to run this site on ipad and iphone. i thought that all of the iOS stuff didn't support flash but looking into the adobe flash website here, it says that it has iOS support.
Can someone please clarify if iPad, iPhone will support a website if i create it in flash If it doesn't, then does anyone know what it means on the link that it has support for Apple iOS ??
I'm trying to recreate a modernized version of this tutorail here - but I'm having problems building building and referencing an SWC file for inclusion in my project in Flash Builder. Whenever I try to reference the SWC, flash says it's "not a compile time constant" - can anyone help me with the process of building a SWC (mainly, naming it so that Flash Builder can reference it) - and then, in Flash Builder, creating that reference to the SWC?

View 3 RepliesI'm having trouble pushing my data from an XML file into movie clips. I'm loading the xml just fine, it traces out nicely from an xml object, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to populate text fields in my mc's, and duplicate those movie clips correctly with the data from each child node. I have the identifier in the library named 'multiply_mc' and the 'container' clip is sitting on the stage. With the script as it is, I only get 4 clips created (supposed to be 12), and none of the text is being pushed into the text fields in the clips.

I'm having a small problem trying to build a simple little Menu Bar. I'm trying to make it so that if I click on one button (Movie Clip) it will make it look different, and then if I click on a DIFferent button (Movie Clip) it will make the old one normal, and the new one look like it is selected.
I tried doing so by creating a function that checked what page I'm currently in, and changed the look of the MCs accordingly, but when I run it, I keep getting the following error[code]...
I am currently building a website entirely in Flash, and I am fearing that it is becoming too large because I am having it all load on startup. Is there a way for me to have the file load to say, frame 10, and stop loading, then when a button is clicked to bring you to a new frame that has not been loaded, load the necessary frames? (I would also like to have a preloader for each time a button is clicked that takes you to frames that haven't been loaded yet.)
A specific example would be a photo gallery I want to incorporate into the site. When the user presses a button to view the photo gallery, I want a frame with a gallery of thumbnails to load that has not been previously loaded, and then when each thumbnail is clicked, the frame with the large picture in it should be loaded.
Or use flash in an html container? I know it really depends on what the site is about so for this site it will eventually be an ecommerce site selling clothing.If I construct the site with flash, how big should the page properties be when setting it up?
