View 1 RepliesI want to separate event handling from a container and it child. So as you can see, my source code is very simple :
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.*;[code].....
When I roll over the container object, I've got the trace (OK for me).BUT When I roll over the decor object, I've got the trace too (not what I want).I just want the container to be triggered by the mouse event, not it child.So what's happened to my mouseChildren = false....?
I've found that if I use the CursorManager to set a cursor ursorManager.setBusyCursor() — then set stage.mouseChildren = false, the cursor set by CursorManager is replaced by the "default" mouse cursor the next time the mouse is moved. I'm setting stage.mouseChildren = false so that, while the mouse is being dragged, other "stuff" on the stage won't get mouse events (eg, so that mouse-over affordances aren't triggered if I'm in the middle of a drag).
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to have a hand cursor over a movie clip that contains dynamic texts. I tried:
[Code]...
The problem is that this movie clip has a roll_over on the children, so when I put the second line of code my roll_over doesn't work anymore.
Here is what I want:
1) a sprite with a rollover/out tween, going from alpha 0 to 1 on rollover, and back to 0 on rollout (let's call it "containerSprite"). That part is cake.
2) another sprite within the container (let's call it "closeButton"), that goes along for the ride (i.e., its alpha gets tweened along with the container). That's easy enough to do by making it a child of "container". When I say it is "within" the container I mean in terms of x/y.
3) when I move the mouse within containerSprite and onto closeButton, I want the container to stay visible (easy enough by setting mouseEnabled or mouseChildren to false). But I want closeButton to respond to mouseDown events, so I can't set it to mouseEnabled=false, nor can I set containerSprite.mouseChildren=false.
4) there will be several other sprites within the x/y of containerSprite, each with their own rollover/out tween. The catch is, when the mouse is within containerSprite and rolls onto one of them, the alpha of containerSprite SHOULD tween out (unlike when rolling onto closeButton).
For the life of me, I cannot get it all to work. I can get the desired behaviour in (4) easily enough, either by making the other sprites (mouseEnabled) children of containerSprite, or by making them siblings of containerSprite but higher in the display list. But the desired behaviour in (2) and (3) is vexing me: if closeButton is a child of containerSprite then its alpha tweens along with containerSprite (desired), but because it must be mouseEnabled, moving the cursor onto it triggers containerSprite's rollout event (undesired). If instead it is a higher sibling of containerSprite rather than a child, it has the same problem: if it is mouseEnabled, moving onto it counts as a rollOut event for the container. It seems like the solution ought to be easy, and I'm just missing something that is in plain sight.
I am working on a press section of a site and was wondering if this was possible? I have a texfield that loads in html formatted text for a notepad file. I have done this lots of times and put <a href=blah> on certain words within notepad to make them links to other pages.
For this one i would like to have the textfield with links, but when the user clicks a link, i want it to trigger something in flash (i.e. click here for more info sending a variable to my main as script that will bring up some other text etc).
if so how would i go about writing the link inside notepad? I'm thinking that i just need to know the code for combining the text links with something in flash as.
I know that if I want to disable a button I write:
myBtn.enabled = false;
But if I have a couple of buttons inside a mc and I want to disable all of them without targeting each and everyone of them. How do I code that?
How do you get a True/False statement to be recognized inside a movie clip with a button on the main timeline as the control. I want my movie clip to stop at the last frame if the movie clip reaches the last frame. Otherwise gotoAndStop at the first frame of the clip. I was using
on (press) {
_root.m1.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.m2.gotoAndPlay(1);

I have a scenario that I get an string with html data, this is not just html data it's an email (outlook) saved as an html file and dropped in the string.Now this string needs to be formatted to an html document and should be a clickable link in a datagrid. So when I click on the link, the HTML document should pop-up and should gave me a nice HTML page that is readable for the normal users. I hope it's a bit clear what I want o_0. don't know where to start.

View 1 RepliesI have a doubt regarding MouseChildren in Flash as3, i am having a movieclip named as containermc and a button named as clickbtn inside containermc, Here i want to addEvent Listeners for both the movieclip and button! I used containermc.mouseChildren = false; to add click event listener to the containermc then i was not able to click the button, then i gave containermc.mouseChildren = true; then i was not able to click the containermc, and also i need to enable doubleclick to containermc movieclip.
View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip that has contains some dynamic text fields and over these some movieclips that serve as buttons. The issue I'm having is, that while the movieclips have buttonMode set to true, and mouseChildren set to false, when testing in a browser, after a few seconds of rolling over them, the cursor starts to flicker, as thought there is a conflict between the text fields trying to fight the button for focus. I have tried adding ROLL_OVER states to the buttons (thought they are not needed) in an effort to monopolise focus, while I'm not 100% sure, its seems as though this is a textfield issue.
View 6 RepliesThrough getChildByName is it possible to access the mouseChildren property of a Sprite? I'm guessing no, but before I go about changing something I want to make sure it's necessary and that I'm not just doing something wrong..
ex:
Code:
STAGE.getChildByName('container').mouseChildren = false;
Would give me an error. I see this is because getChildByName returns a DisplayObject object. So I guess my question is: Is it possible to get the actual Object (Sprite in my case)?

Currently building a dynamic menu system, with 3 levels of navigation. Currently when mouse children is set to 'true' it doesn't want to remember the name of the menu item created. it spits out, 'instance263' or whatever the number is when I trace it out with my onClick event. With mouseChildren set to 'false' my 3rd tier of navigation ceases to work.
The Goal here is to have the menu items retain an instance name so I can relate back to them and set active states for the current active module. UPDATE: Here is where the problem arises
[Code]....
Simple example.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.*;
clip.addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, function( event:Event )
{
trace( "over " );
[Code]....
Even though mouseEnabled is set to false, still ROLL_OUT is cought. Its propably cause mouse GOES out of the object, but I dont think it should be like this.
I am trying to display database details in a Flex datagrid and connected using HTTP Service. It was able to display details without any issue when I was working in the FlashBuilder 4.5, however, I deployed the bin-debug part in the Tomcat webserver to access it globally.

View 0 RepliesI've got a few areas where I'm displaying XML driven content in Flash. I'd like then to be able to have links shown as well so the user can continue to navigate the page.

I am a flash CS3 novice and I wonder Is there any way to set a link (http ://) inside the FLVPlaybackCaptioning component? If not how can I put a link inside a FLV video like what Google has done on YouTube?
View 1 RepliesI have an MC that I want to add to Stage dynamically. Until here everything seems fine:
for (var j:int = 0; j < nomePostosArray.length; j++) {
var MC:MovieClip = new mc();
namelistscroller.text.addChild(MC);
[Code].....
the variable mapLink is inside the MC. This should be a link that should follow when someone press the link button inside MC. This is the only part that is not working.

View 3 Repliesi made this cool nav bar in flash and i would like to put it into my dremweaver html file,
however that file is not uploaded to the web
I have a box and is assigned as a button. In AS2 would be something like this: getURL("urltoload", "target"); But I am doing it in AS3, so I can learn more. I just want to add a HTML link, so when someone clicks on the box, a different page will load in the same browser, no pop-ups.
View 9 RepliesI'm working on the drop down menu with xml (from this site - [URL]), and I need to link to specific frames in my flash file, but it seems to be in html, is this possible to do?Or if not, I am building this drop down menu by hand and my actionscript looks like this:
//when you initialize your buttons set them to invisible like this
stars._visible = false;
starsa._visible = false;
stars1._visible = false;
[code]....
and this is only from 3 buttons,I have 2 choices but I would like to know the better, more easier route.
what do I need to do if I'm using web_txt.text to load in xml.
but I want to have that be a link from the xml...?
I've been told: web_txt.text.htmlText but that seems like it messing things up and when I put the html tag into the xml file it wont load any of the code under it.
my problem is that I have made a scrolling text. Now I want one word inside the scrolling text to be a link to another page.
I tried this with an invisible button on a second layer above the word, but the button does not stay on its place on different screens. Is there a solution. Looks to me as a basic thing every web designer ought to know.
