ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Make Button Component Wierdness
Sep 17, 2008
Player.fla and Controller.as are in the same folder.Player.fla:Button component in the library (with its assets). DocumentClass = "Controller". 1 layer, 1 frame. No code in timeline.Controller.as:(see attached code)My problem:I put a button on the stage, set instance name toplayPauseBtn, change it's label to anything but "Label" in theParameters panel, and for some reason the button cannot be disabledwith code I attached.Not a critical problem because I can set playPauseBtn.label ='' in my class file and it will work, but why would the buttoncomponent require a label of "Label" in the parameter panel toallow disabling?

I am using a media display component to display a short FLV cartoon. I have given the component the instance name "fcEp01" and am successfully controlling its play, rewind and pause functions using buttons using "on (release) {_root.fcEp01.Play();}" and so on. I want to have an additional button that will allow the viewer to toggle the component to fullscreen (and back). I am using AS2 in Flash CS3. I realise that it may be necessary to use a movie clip instead of a regular button, but the tutes I've looked at haven't worked.

I am using the Button component (the one shipped with CS3) inmany places in my AS3 project. I am coding in .as files, not on thetimeline.I have skinned the Button to use the colors I like. Now Iwish to "skin" it so that all instances generate a rollOver sound,and I'll be darned if I can figure out how.I know I can listen for ROLL_OVER events in each Buttoninstance. But I have many many Buttons and it seems kludgy to addthat same code to every class I have which tracks a Button. I amhoping there is some way I can make *all* instances of Buttonrespond to rollOver the same way. I am hoping it is likesetComponentStyle or changing the skin for the Button; I can do itin one place and it works everywhere.I guess I can listen on the Stage level for bubble-ups ofROLL_OVER, trap those that come from Button instances, and handleit from there, but stagewide listeners also seem a tad kludgy

I have a component "child" which has a cancel button. Now this component is placed in a state called "newChildComp" I also have another component called "parent". In the parent component, i have a button that dispatches an event. Here is the event code:
[Code].....
so, basically,i am checking to see if the cancel button component in the Child component, while i am still in the parent Compoent, was clicked, if it was clicked, call the cancelButtonHandler. The problem is by the time the addNewChild handles the event, that cancel button was still null. My question is how do i solve this without using the itemCreationPolicy on the cancel button?

I'm building a top view 2D map, that it's objects are stored on the server.The kind of objects are 10 and might be a photo, label, button, lists, mix of them or labels with tooltips.The component must request the "areas" that are missing on screen.An area is 1000x1000 px and is cached in flex.To move in the map, will be like in google maps (drag-and-drop).I should be able to have another list and move objects from one to another using drag-an-drop on objects. Ex.: I grab an objects from a list and I move it on this map, I release the mouse button and the item is placed there.Now the problem is: I build a custom component for this trying to emulate the item renderer for performance and recyclage, implement drag-and-drop on objects and request the areas that are missing?
or
I extend the List component from spark and I add some features as multiple kind of itemrenderers and use recycle on them. Of course it must be able to request the missing areas on the screen and cache it's data.Maybe create a custom layout is needed too.What I need is something that must be really fluid, so the lighter this component is, the better.
UPDATE: *There will be not any object over another.
*I will not use hitTest on bitmaps because all bitmaps are wrapped in another component,as they,for now are itemrenderers.
Anyway I already begin to do this using a class that extends the SkinnableDataContainer and a custom layout. As the layout is not like a grid, is sparse, random items at diferent points(x, y).How to get the localX and localY, relative to item renderer and not to the Spark List, from a DragEvent in Flex 4?

I'd like to use a button within a component to remove it. So, you click it and the component is gone. But, I haven't figured out how you reference the component from within the component. What should I put in click=""?
My component: popCanvas
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
<mx:Panel width="200" height="200" title="hello"
click="remove=">

I'm trying to create a simple "universal" media player which presents the same user interface (or as similar as possible) for video and audio playback. Unfortunately, FLVPlayback seems not to be able to handle audio files as far as I can tell, so I'm using a Sound and SoundChannel.
My video playback is handled using an FLVPlayback component which is "wired" to standard controls on-the-fly when needed. What I want to do is wire them to the Sound / SoundChannel when I'm playing a sound so that the same UI widgets work in both cases. I'd like to avoid building all my components from scratch because the FLVPlayback component does a lot of nice stuff "for free" but it's starting to look tricky.
The standard PlayPauseButton is a MovieClip with two layers, one containing the Play button (and with the instance name play_mc) and the containing the Pause button (pause_mc). Inside one of these is a movie with some code like this:
stop();
this.upLinkageID = "PauseButtonNormal";
this.overLinkageID = "PauseButtonOver";
this.downLinkageID = "PauseButtonDown";

I'd like to learn how to use Components in Flash, and the documentation and tutorials I find are beyond my comprehension. I usually go to FlashKit and just rehash someone's code... but again, I'd love to learn how to use Flash Components.So I did a tutorial on the toggle button, but it was:1. Click button, and a window pops up at different location on canvas2. Click button again, and the same window dissapears.This is for a videogame, and I'd like a button to be click and that same button be populated with a new graphic. What I mean is, the graphic is a skull, and I'd like to have it start as a dark skull (as if a negative value) and when you click it the skull appears... click it again and it's gone (or that negative or dark skull representing it's off).So this differs from the tutorial I did because the pop-up window is the button itself, and the window that pops up would obstruct me from click it again.

* I have a flash project called contact
* The document class is ContactClass
I am trying to make a sprite button with graphics and can't make it work. I have successfully added text fields so I know the path is correct. I suspected my code was correct and confirmed it should be, after reading several tutorials showing the process for creating sprite buttons with graphics. Anyway, I imported nearly every class on Earth, but certainly everything which needs to be. Stage is gray and 800x600.The graphics code by itself with appear, but not when linked to the sprite. Also, the sprite won't appear no matter what. Another interesting piece of the puzzle: nothing will trace, not even objects such as textfields which actually appear and function on the stage when I text the code.
public class ContactClass extends Sprite {
public function ContactClass() {
var home_btn:Sprite = new Sprite();[code]....

To fit in with my page design, yet to take advantage of the "List" component, I'd like to spread my list-labels horizontally, across the page (1 row, multiple columns). Is this possible? If not, is there a comparable component that would do the same thing; showing a row of text labels, rather than a whole set of individual buttons and all the scripting that would entail?

No not that component my FLVPlayBack component. I'm trying to make my component resize as the stage resizes while maintaining aspect ratio like this example [URL]. What I have now [URL] does that but only haltingly. It will scale but not always when you want it to sort of like rusted machinery ya give it a whack and it works for a few seconds that's why I said it needs grease. It's not a html issue here's the link to the swf just to make that point [URL]

So I have a website... [URL]
If you go there and click on the "Corporate Videos" section, you will see me pop up and start talking.
But... if you click on one of the videos below... I keep talking over the top of the new video.
Is there a way to "tell target" the one video to stop playing from the action of clicking play on the other video so I stop talking the minute any button on the page is pressed?
I am using AS3 with the FLV Playback component for all these videos.

I want to make a TextArea component public so it can be accessed from other frames. For example, I want to be able to say that if this button is pressed change the TextArea text to "1" and go to the frame.
I have no idea how to do this, i've tried : frameHome.textArea.text = "1"; to change the text but it doesn't work so i'm presumming that i'm a little off mark.
