anyway i can move a container by holding down a button?for example if create a button and name it Btn_Right and the container is named fmcont.when Btn_Right is held down i want it to move fmcont to the right.
View 1 RepliesI'm currently working on a custom component which extends Canvas (let's call it SuperCanvas) ; it's basically a container that let you zoom & pan its contents. It would be too long to explain why, but I can't use scrollRect, so I was forced to declare a Canvas object (called innerCanvas)... inside my SuperCanvas (I know, not very nice =/) I would like to know if there's a proper way to "redirect" the creation of my component's children in this canvas.

I have 2 container MovieClips (mc1, mc2), each of them has a separate x,y, rotation. I want to take a child from mc1 and addChild() it to mc2 while keeping the same x, y, and rotation on the screen so you see the added child mc as if it didnt change position or rotation, just moved to the other MC.
View 3 RepliesWhat I am trying to do is basicly a button, where I can exchange the color of the button and the displayed icon (square, question mark, arrow etc.) via script separately.
Currently I have two containers. One is a MovieClip container for the icons, where I have a different icon in each frame and another MovieClip container for the button backgrounds, containing the same button with different colors in each frame. The icon container is the same for all frames of the button container.
Its instance has a name. In the script layer there is just a stop(); in every frame. Now the problem is that due to background and icon both being a button symbol (they need to be in order for them to have the 'down' and 'over' states), that the build-in click events are handled separately, meaning, that when the icon is clicked, only the icon's state is changed to 'down' and if the button is clicked, only the button's state is changed to 'down'.

I have flip_mc which contains listSide_mc and videoInfoSide_mc both of the above mc's contain a button name spin_btn.My flip_mc should rotate around the y axis and swapping whichever of the 2 (listSide_mc and videoInfoSide_mc) should be visible.All the rotating and adding a child stuff works fine.BUT the whole flip_mc seems to be a button, the spinIt function runs when I click anywhere on the mc, it should only happen when I click the spin_btn buttons.[code]

View 0 RepliesI'm working with several nested movie clips. My Main container (the GUI), and the content MC's. The Main Container loads, via a button, another SWF file into the MC
"_root.content" (_root.content.loadMovie("filename.swf"))
Within that loaded swf file I've got a script to load information from an XML file, and add it to several dynamic text boxes. The XML loads fine, and the SWF file works fine, as long as it isn't in my container movie..
itmHeader = _root.attachMovie("movieName", "movieAlias")
I have tried root, parent, and this.. and none of them work while the SWF file is loaded into the container movie.. and the only one that works when I run the SWF file by it's self _root.attachMovie is the only command that shows the information as intended (at all).
I'm creating a site with buttons (movie buttons) targeting a container clip on the root which targets transitions in external swfs. I'm having trouble with my code in targeting the container.
I know how to do It with a normal button but not with a button inside of a movie clip...
I can use movie buttons for this because they just look better.
Am I missing something or it is just flash? Well I have a PlayerVideo which extends Sprite and have 3 children:1. flash.media.Video2. flash.display.Sprite as PlayPause button3. flash.display.Sprite as MuteUnmute buttonThe thing is that when I have video attached to PlayerVideo, button mouse events are not working, when not Sprite buttons are working okHave anybody ever had something similar ? Mybee some workaround?I have tried wrap with MovieClips and Sprites, but it is the same effect,

I have a main SWF with an empty MC holder and all of the main navigation button on actions. When the buttons are clicked it then loads an external SWF into the empty MC. I am having trouble telling the button to load the movie once and then stop loading if someone clicks on the link again. I want to prevent someone from double clicking to cause the animation to blink. *rapidly click on "home" to see what I mean.

All of my button actions look like:
home_btn.onRelease = function(){
loadMovie("images/6661_home.swf", _root.dropzone);
}
I have read numerous threads but for some reason can't find a fix for this.

View 3 RepliesI have a swf that loads external swfs. I am trying to add a mute button to the container swf that controls the volume, so the user can mute and unmute the sound. However, I cannot figure out how to accomplish this. I cant get setVolume from AS2 to do the job. I have also tried SoundTransform.volume=0 and that didnt work.

let the container be named "container1" & .swf to be named "sunny.swf"
In a Flex Mobile project I have a simple itemRenderer where I'm trying to create an "bubble" texting effect, similar to ichat or iphone (just so you get what im going for). But if the text is longer than the screen it runs off, rather than just going down a line.
If I set Group thats holding the rectangle(to create the bubble effect) and the label to 100% it works and keeps it from exceeding the list containers bounds, BUT the group is always at 100% and looks bad, I'm trying to keep the "bubble" JUST AROUND the text.
Anyway so, at the top of my itemRenderer I tried specifying:
<s:ItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" width="100%" height="100%">
And here's my layout I figured since msg_container has a width of 100% I was hoping bubble_lable_group would just not exceed that but...it doesnt...it just runs off. I tried setting a max width but that does not allow you to input percents. And just to say it 1 more time. I know if i set bubble_lable_group width to 100% it works, and keeps it from going off the edge, but then the rectangle "bubble" stretches all the way across and just looks bad.
<s:VGroup id="main_container" horizontalAlign="left" paddingBottom="10" paddingTop="10"
verticalAlign="top" width="100%">

First way(works fine) is to load the text from that section in to a panel and display it. The second way is to create a new panel (panel creates fine) and then add collapsable panels(nested) to that panel. Here is the code from the else loop.

I have a movie with two squares. Depending on which button is pressed, the demmensions of the both squares change for which I used the following function:
Code:
function scaleMoveClip(clip, breed, hoog, xpos, ypos, snelheid) {
clip.onEnterFrame = function() {
eindX = xpos-this._x;

The code for the other buttons is the same but with other arguments. Now do I also need to integrate a loadMovie in the different button actions, to load the different ext.swf's in a container on the stage, but I only want the swf's to load after the callback is finished (when the squares qre not moving any more) How does the loadMovie should look like?

But in this i want big circles should not move and small circles should only be dragged.
I need to place an image into a container. The problem is that I will not know the size of the image or the container beforehand, so it all has to be dynamic.this is how I started (have not gotten to stage(or container) changing size yet. No matter what I try, either all the images are the same width, or they are all the same height. If some images are portrait and other landscape, I don't want all the images to be X pixels high. In this variation of the code, all the images turn out the same height, regardless of portrait or landscape.
ActionScript Code:
var ratio:Number = container.width/container.height;//get the ratio, if width is bigger than height then ratio is greater than 1, else ratio is smaller than 1

I have a .flv file (and also the original .mov from which the .flv was created) that i have imported into a new .fla - I also have created a button and assigned actionscript to the button that links to a new web page. The button works correctly. My issue is that I need the button to show up at 6mins42seconds into the video, and I don't know how to write the script to make it do so. I could do this easily if the video showed up frame-by-frame in my timeline, but since it's an external .flv I'm stuck. From reviewing the archives, I think I may need to use cue points? I have already re-encoded the .flv with a cue point added at the right place. The encoder also asked for 'name' and 'value' parameters for the cue point, which i wasn't sure what it wanted so just entered 'button' for both as a placeholder.The button links to a website perfectly, just need to know how to code it to move onto stage exactly at 6min.42secs. OR if anything do you know how to drag out the .mov or .flv from 1 key frame into many(seems would be easier that way)

I have made a simple Drag and Drop map, where its the map being dragged by the mouse. The thing is, i need to have a grid of buttons on this map, which you can click. But since im dragging the actual map, my buttons wont follow. They stay where they are.An example would be the united states world map, then each state is a button i can click. A problem would be that if the entire map is covered in buttons, then my mouse cant drag the background map as im selecting a button when i drag. perhaps i can make the buttons drag the map instead?This is the code for dragging the map:
Code:
Map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, grabMe);
Map.buttonMode = true;[code]..........
