I have many buttons in my interface --so I have many eventListeners running.
I want to set all non-button graphics to displayObject.mouseEnabled = false.
This works with some of the graphics. but not all.
The main shape (the big purple faceplate) of the interface continues to react to the mouseclick.

I have a movieclip that acts like a button. When clicked on, the movieclip starts to animate, but how do I make it "unclickable" when playing? I dont want the animation to start everytime is is clicked on, only when in "idle".
View 3 RepliesWhat I mean by that title is, how would I define a variable name, with a variable, and some text, for example.
ActionScript Code:
var i:Number = 0
var ["test"+i] = "Test"
Where i changes to continually give me different variables, and, in this case, I would have the variable test0.
The above gives the error "Identifier expected". Oh, and it would also be useful to know how to do it in AS3, but I mainly need to know it for AS2.
how to use setStyle() for style attributes defined for a CSS class, but how can I change compound styles via actionscript? For example, my TabBar uses the following CSS style as part of the selected tab definition:
.myTabBar s|ButtonBarButton:upAndSelected {
}
I want to have a color defined at runtime, using setStyle() seems to be a solution there. Just don't know how to delve that deep in the levels of the CSS structure.
I have a single point and a set of shapes. I need to know if the point is contained within the compound shape of those shapes. That is, where all of the shapes intersect.But that is the easy part.If the point is outside the compound shape I need to find the position within that compound shape that is closest to the point.These shapes can be of the type:squarecirclering (circle with another circle cut out of the center)inverse circle (basically just the circular hole and a never ending fill outside that hole, or to the end of the canvas is there must be a limit to its size)part of circle (as in a pie chart)part of ring (as above but lineThe example below has an inverted circle (the biggest circle with grey surrounding it), a ring (topleft) a square and a line.
If we don't consider the line, then the orange part is the shape to constrain to. If the line is taken into account then the saturated orange part of the line is the shape to constrain to.The black small dots represent the points that need to be constrained. The blue dots represent the desired result. (a 1, b 2 etc.)Point "f" has no corresponding constrained result, since it is already in the orange area.For the purpose of this example, only point "e" is constrained to the line, all others are constrained to the orange orange area.
now i've divided my scene with frames labeled. say: at frame 1, it's my about section. At frame 20, its my photo section, etc. on the same scene, i've created my menu to navigate to these sections. each button calls a frame label, and the proper ainmation happens, and then, you're in the section you chose. NOW... (i have a feeling i should of thought about that earlier...) i'm trying to figure out a way to tell my button to be unclickable (and hightlighted) while you're in its section, until you leave that section. i know that my site is probably NOT constructed the way it should be. but starting over isnt really an option, since i have a deadline...
View 6 RepliesI have a HBox with no background, but with some children. Behind the HBox is a button which need to be clicked. The button is unclickable at the moment because the HBox is on top of it. I need the button to be clickable and still have the HBox on top of it

View 1 RepliesI've made a site where an iframe calls to a top navigation element, with a javascript drop down menu. I have it working where the menu drops over a center flash element, but even when the menu is not "dropped" - any element in that area on the flash does not respond to clicks.
I've changed z indexes, and now i cant seem to get the flash file to even be ontop of the iframe -

I'm using Flash CS3 and want to create a custom ComboBox. I've followed the steps outlined in "Editing component skins in a new document" (http:/[url]...), but every time I get to the step where I drag the ComboBox Assets folder from the HaloTheme.fla library into my library, if I test movie at that point my combobox has become an unclickable white rectangle with no label, button or anything.

View 6 RepliesI want to make 5 out of 10 movieclips invisible.
I know this works for each movie :
item1._visible = false;
item2._visible = false;
etc
But whats the correct syntax to do it in the loop. This seems to clear all 10 movieclips.
Code:
for (var y = 0; y<5; y++) {
["item"+(y)]_visible = false;
}
I'm trying to create something (which has probably been created a 1000 times before) that will fade in and out a series of images. I load the images into my movie and then I want to make some action script to loop through them to fadeIn/Out.So to begin with I want to store all the image names in an array and then loop through this. But I'm having problems accessing the movie clips from the array. Where am I going wrong?
Code:
var images:Array = new Array();
images = [wine_mc, sunset_mc, poppies_mc, pool_mc, eastView_mc]

How would you go about accessing a movieclip inside another movieclip using a class file?ould you have to export every single part of a movieclip? Can it be done by just exporting the main movieclip?

I'm using the code contains onClipEvent(load) and onClipEvent(enterFrame) and duplicateMovieClip() to make the snowing effect in the 2 first movie-clips but then, I cannot stop them in the next movie-clips. (All of my movie-clips in 1 scene only.)
View 1 RepliesI'm using AS3, CS5.5, on Windows764bit. I created an animation with many different layers (and nested movieclips) on the stage, then wrote a short bit of As3 to add a slider control of the playback. The problem/mystery is that when I change the slider, the nested MCs act strangely/independently. How to control everything at once? Here is the current file: [URL]
Here is the code I added:
package {import flash.display.*;

When on frame 10, make 3 movieclips visible for 7 seconds and then dissapear? How do I write the code?

mc1_mc._visible = false;
mc2_mc._visible = false;
mc3_mc._visible = false;
if I have two overlapping movieclips and both have onPress function, then the upper movieclip screens the lower one so that the lower movieclip does not react to Mouseclick.
Is this a default behavior?
Is it possible to make both ovrlapping movieclips to react to the same mouseclick?
