View 1 RepliesMy menu(code is by scotty)has 3 movieclip buttons, with text. I broke apart the text to change the color onMouseOver. Problem is the button only works when the mouse is pointed over the actual text, so it doesn't work properly, because the text is obviously very small. I can't put a "field" behind it, because it will become part of the MC, and thus will change color.
Here's the example: [URL]

I'm trying to make a popup alert modal window thing with an external class. I have a simple swf set up with just some random sample text, a rectangle, and a button. What I want to happen is for the "alert" class to initialize upon startup of the swf and then when I click the button (instance: btn), the alert will show up. If I get rid of all AS in the swf and set alert as the document class, it shows up just fine, so I think it should be working, but for some reason I get this instead when I try the button function:

View 1 RepliesIf you have a flash movie, how do you put everything in loading techniques so people who open our website do not wait too long.
For example if you have portfolio section menu in you web. Do we have to call the portfolio.swf with the loading inside the portfolio.swf ? I just really dont understand how the loading works. Can anyone give some flow chart of the logic behind the loading technique.
With a simple array, I'm putting 7 instances of a movieclip up on stage like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:uint = 0; i < 7; i++){
thing[i] = new Thing;
addChild(thing[i]);
etc;
}
This is all good. I'm essentially looking to capture which 'Thing' is clicked on in some sort of variable. Currently I am using getChildIndex to get a number:
thingClicked = getChildIndex(event.currentTarget as DisplayObject);
Which gives me a reference I can use later, but this is not ideal, as the number naturally changes whenever I add others stuff to the stage.
if I make a popup menu with submenus, and I make multiple menus horizontally next to one another...I know I can use invisible buttons to close the menu on rollOut, however, I've been advised using the "with" function would avoid confusion in the case where menus are close together. I'm a bit confused about doing it this way.
for one thing, assume the menus going horizontally are named menu1, menu2, menu3, etc. the with action.. is this upon rollOver of menu 2 for example..then in that movieclip or menu instance, I'm asking menu1 to move to a closed state? or is the action using with within menu1?

I'm fairly new to Actionscript 3, I'm creating a simple bar graph. There are 5 movie clips relating to years {mcYear0, mcYear1, mcYear2, mcYear3, and mcYear4} then there are 6 bars in each year representing animal population (all the animal movieclips nested in the years are named the same from year to year, so mcFrogs in mcYear1 is also mcFrogs in mcYear2). When you roll over an animal, I want a box to pop up and populate that animal's population over the years. I'm not worried about populating the box but for some reason my code to make the box pop up on the animals is only working on the last year (mcYear4).
Here is my code:
mcYear0.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, HOver);
mcYear1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, HOver);
mcYear2.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, HOver);
mcYear3.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, HOver);
mcYear4.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, HOver);
function HOver(e:Event) {

Within a Chrome extension, how can I inject items into the context menus of 3rd party flash objects?
Is it possible to simply inject items using JavaScript? Is it possible to wrap the players in a container .swf that adds our context menu item along with the items included by the original swf?
Edit: To be clear, what I'd like to do with my extension is add a context menu item to any 3rd party Flash program. So for instance, if a user visits YouTube, I'd like to add my own menu item along with YouTube's custom items.
On an application I'm building I've got a movieclip called "viewer", built in my main .swf file, that contains 8 other movie clips. In my application, I have multiple images that can be loaded into the movie clips inside the clip "viewer". I designed this with the hope that everything loaded in the clips within "viewer" would print. In terms of loading all the pieces I want the application works fine through the browser. However, when I go to print the image I've created within the movie clip "viewer", only the most recent item loaded prints...not the image that's onscreen.

function printContent(event:MouseEvent) {

I do not know if this is the correct place to ask this question so if there is a better place, just let me know! I am a very novice designer and even worse programmer and I am currently creating a flash movie based website. One of the "pages" of the site has buttons on it that open up a dialogue box which covers the buttons. The dialogue box has a close button to then get open up the area so you can select a different button and thus different dialogue box if you wish. My problem is that when the dialogue box opens, the mouse cursor turns into then "hand selection" cursor and I can still select the buttons that are behind the dialogue box that has been opened. This has all been done natively within the flash movie, no actionscript so a button takes you to frame 5 which has a dialogue box and another button takes you to frame 10, for instance.
View 2 RepliesBasically I have some TLF text as a symbol, it's read only, the font is embedded and I set mouseEnabled to false. It's sitting as a graphic, on top of a button. When I mouse over the text, or the area where the text would be, it prevents the button from receiving the on mouse over event. Using classic, dynamic text, this route normally works just fine. Any ideas what could be causing the problem?
