ActionScript 3.0 :: Panel In CS4 - "Current Selection Cannot Have Actions Applied To It"?
Dec 26, 2010
have only been animating for several months now. I am now trying to get into simple games, and I am starting with what I was told is the easiest, a Dress-Up game.This is the source of the tutorial that I am following: http:[url]....
I am following the Dress-Up game. I have created a button, dragged it into the Movie-Clip, and then went back to the scene, and selected it, right clicked, and clicked Actions."Current Selection" is selected, and it says "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it".
when I try to add this action to Scene 1, or Symbol Definitions it is a syntax error, and says extra characters as the reason.The script I am trying to use to make my Ball movable is;
on(press) {
startDrag(this,false);
}[code]....

I'm creating simple buttons (as I've done numerous times in earlier versions of flash) and need to apply an action to the hit phase - however keep getting the above message in the action script window. I just installed flash CS4 a few weeks ago.

I'm just trying to get started with very basic AS 2. I have two books, (Understanding Flash MX 2004 ActionScript 2, by Alex Michael, and Animation and Effects with Flash MX 2004) All of the very basic ActionScripts I've attempted from both books result in the "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it" error message.
Here's an example from Michael's book, which is for putting an event handler in a movie clip. I'm going to write all of the instructions just so you know I'm following them: 1. Create a new movie. 2. Draw a circle on the stage. 3. Select the circle and convert it to a symbol. 4. Name the symbol circle and select movie clip as the behavior. 5. Click OK. 6. Select the circle movie clip. 7. Open the Actions panel window. 8. Type in the following[code]...

I recently 'upgraded' to CS4. For some strange reason I have intermittent problems where I can't assign an action to any object. I'm trying to link a simple button, but in the actions window I get a message telling me that, "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it".

I just got CS4 and was following some tutorials for what I wanted to do. I Created a button and then inside of that button I created a movie clip in the keyframe "Up." In that movieclip I created a keyframe at frame 10 and created motion tween. I went to put a stop action in frame 10 and it says the current selection can not have action applied to it. I cant write any code for the button at this stage and I am not sure why.

I am unable to view the Actions Panel window in a document I've already done a lot of work in. It worked previously - I created an Actions Layer and was able to add action script, however, when I try to open it back up to edit the action script I wrote, neither the F9 shortcut nor the Windows>Actions pulls up the Actions Panel. In fact, when I try either method, nothing happens.

I watched the very useful Custom Panel Extension tutorial. But the tutorial doesn't show how to get data such as info about my current selection back to my custom panel. MMExecute seems like a one way street.
Specifically, I want to display a selection's X and Y position in the custom panel. How do I call fl.getDocumentDOM().getSelectionRect() in such a way that the results are accessible to the panel?

On both my work and home computers I have this problem where the font in the action panel gets all screwed up and the ends of words get cut off even though the text is there and working. Anyone have an idea on how to fix it? Both computers are Macs running 10.5.5 and Adobe Flash CS3. See below for an example

This is kind of a lame complaint, but any benefit I have gained from upgrading from CS4 to CS5 is being eclipsed by the frustrating change that while I am trying to use the "Find" tool in the "Actions" panel, as soon as I hit "Find Next" the Actions panel closes and I have to close the Find tool then re-open the Actions panel then again to see if it found what I was looking for then re-open the Find tool if I need to go to the next instance. I know this does not seem like the biggest of deals, but is there a way to fix this?
I will also add that this happens when the panel is clicked from the icon. If the whole panel is free floating it works fine, but then it is obviously blocking the whole stage, and I have to collapse it to an icon to see anything. There is also the possibility that it is computer/OS difference since my CS4 machine and my CS5 machine are two different computers one running XP and the other running Vista.

I am building a website for an online store in Flash 8. I needed to use a dropdown menu for selecting the size of a clothing item, so I just used the default ComboBox component. I thought it was working fine, until I came across a strange bug (with the component, or my own code) where the ComboBox was not showing the current selected item.
The dropdown's list works, and shows all the options, but if you click on one, it doesn't get displayed as the current selection in its TextBox. The weird thing is that it still works fine, and I can access the data ok. If I use myComboBox.text I can access the current selections text, even though Nothing is being displayed.
Has anyone come across this before, and has any suggestions for what I am doing wrong.
A few details: Here is the actual code I am using to load the options into the ComboBox: Code: Select allvar my_cb:ComboBox = this.pages.product.size_comboBox;
my_cb.removeAll();
var sizesList:Object = productData[categoryID][productID]["sizes"];
for(var s in sizesList){
my_cb.addItem({data:s, label:sizesList[s]});
}
my_cb.redraw();
There are a number of other things happening the same time as its adding the items to the comboBox, e.g. loading images, creating movieClips, etc. Could loading this be causing the comboBox to not function properly.

Lets say I have 4 items on the stage item1_mc, item2_mc, etc...they're stacked vertically with a small space between them. I wish to cycle through these items with two keys, up and down respectively...how would I go about doing this?
My current idea is to create an array of these items and have each press of the key add or subtract "1" from the current selection...is this the correct method to pursue? Are there better options?
