If I put a dynamic textfield into a movieClip and that is abutton, how come the mouse wont interact with the button?the textfield blocks the mouseOver though the btn on thestage has the eventlistener.
View 2 Replieswhen i change the appearence of the mouse, it conflicts with some of the other code, i don't get an error, but it just doesn't work, i'm using this code in a mc to change the mouse:

I created a rotating cube using the below code and add bitmaps as sides of the cube. I was wondering if it's possibly to assign movie clips as sides of the cube so I can have some interaction with them.

I have a movieclip and some sort of buttons inside of it for interaction. The Movieclip is in the _root and all other stuff inside of it. Now problem is: Whenever I attach an action to he MC like:
Code:
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.mc_stage.onPress = function() {
startDrag(_root.mc_stage,false);
}
_root.mc_stage.onRelease = function() {
stopDrag();
}}
And run the swf, I cannot interact with the buttons. I cant click them. When there is no action applied to MC on the instance or the timeline the buttons work perfect. How can I make both work ? Drag the Movieclip with mouse and also make buttons work.
how can i make a movieclip and a textfield to resize to the content of the text in the textfield? I mean, if I have a textfield with 3 letters font name XXX and then the content of the field change, how can i resize te textfield so the text dont autoadjust to the 3 letter space?
View 3 RepliesI have a problem with loading text from a *.txt file into a dynamic textfield which is located in a movieclip in another movieclip. It seems it can't find the textfield because it is in movieclips. I know I shouldn't work with the '_root' command but in my project it doesn't matter. Also tried making '_root' globalmain to 'this'. But that still doesn't do the trick.

tdata = new LoadVars();

I've got a MovieClip on the MainTimeline: mc_back I want to dynamcially add textfields to it:
[Code]...
It's not working. No errors, no nothing, but the textFields don't show up when I run it.
Code:
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.text = "abc";
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mc.addChild(tf);
trace(mc.tf.text);
Why does the trace statement throw me an error?
I'm just a beginner and I wanted to know if it is possible to change a textfield into a movieclip, and how could I do this.
View 3 RepliesI have a Movieclip which is abstract called ScreenItem. This is extended by MenuObject which creates several MenuItem objects which are a separate MovieClip class. I would like to display textFields inside my MenuItems but when I add them they just don't show up. If i set them as selectable then I get a text select cursor when i run the swf but no visible text. The same code works fine if i add the MenuItem directly to the main timeline.
View 6 RepliesI'm adding text to a movieclip as you can see below. The text is alomost not visible because it's so small. If I don't scale the movieclip then the text becomes clipped. I basically want the movieclip to be a tight container (the same size as the textfield) for the Textfield. The below does not work. How can I do this?

I have a TextField that I'm going to populate dynamically in code. Imagine as a simple example a cartoon with the text bubble above the speaker's head, the bubble is a rounded rectangle with some embellishments like drop shadow and a border and such and I want the bubble to be a fixed width but a variable height to accomodate a few words or maybe a long sentence that wraps to three lines. I understand that TextField will do this with autosize and wordwrap, but how do I make the 'bubble' movieclip that contains it also resize accordingly, without writing various hacks involving counting the number of characters and resizing the bubble myself?

I've moved back to AS2 fairly recently since it's web compatible and a nice break from C++. Anyways, what I was trying to do is to create a battle system that shows the amount of damage that you've hit. The best I could do, though, is make a static textfield that randomly goes around the enemy and show a different number since the "attack" hits multiple times at once. I originally used a MC with 15 frames, one for each number, and animated them accordingly as well as using attachMovie() to create the effect that I wanted, but that didn't work for much larger numbers in the hundreds.
View 8 RepliesI have an issue where I have a movieclip with two frames, both of which have a textfield.
The problem is, when I call gotoAndStop(2) and try assign text to the textField in that second frame I get a null Pointer exception, as if the textfield doesnt exist anymore.
Code:
public function select(){
this.gotoAndStop(2);
this.myLetter.text = "X"; //there is a textfield on frame two called myLetter
}
Its simple code but it doesn't seem to be working.
I'm dynamically creating a navigational menu using a movieclip I've created that contains a textField. I want to change the text color of the TextField in the movieclip when a mouseover is performed. (The movieclip is in the library.)I've added "menuItem.menuText.textColor = 0x333333;" to the mouseover event, and that works, but only on the textField of the last movieclip placed on the stage.I somewhat understand why that's happening, I just don't know how to fix it (I'm still new to AS3).[code]

View 5 RepliesI want to load a MovieClip inside a TextField inline with the text.
The TextField documentation says "HTML text that you assign to a text field can contain embedded media (movie clips, SWF files, GIF files, PNG files, and JPEG files)."
How can this be done with MovieClips? There must be a listener we can override.

im building this interface in FLASH CS5, where i want to place a digital clock, i created a MovieClip InstanceName "RELOJ" in that MovieClip i have two layers, one with two Text Fields that are going to display Time and the other the Date, and on the other layer is the actionscript (AS3) of the whole clock and date.ok, now i place that movieclip on my Main TimeLine, i play the swf but i dont see the clock working.I have tried placing an Actions layer on my main timeline and writing "RELOJ.play()" but nothing... How do i play that MovieClip?UPDATE: This is the code inside the MovieClip. The Fonts are Embedded.

I'm trying to create a cutom made clickablle field using AS3 but I have problem registering an OnClickListener.What I do is create a subclass of MovieClip, draw a RoundRect on it and add a textfield as a child. Now when I click on that "thing", events are caught by the textField and I can't find a way to forward it to my MovieClip.
private function addListChild(i:Number, l:Number, c:Content):void {
var x:Number = 100;

I have a movieClip that I use as a background which sits underneath two textFields that are dynamically generated... I have added MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER and MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT to that movieClip so that I can change the alpha value to fade in/out the background...
The problem is when you directly rollOver on top of the textField which prohibits the MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER happening on the background movieClip...I tried to set the selectable to false on those textFields, but that did not have any effect...
I have an input textfield (input_txt) inside a movieclip (mc), how do i clear the focus (blinking cursor)? I want to place this code on the root timeline.
View 6 RepliesI have a dynamic textfield in a libraried movieclip.
I referred to the movieclip from an external class and have the linkage setup for it.
However, no matter what I try to do to instanciate the text field inside it, I keep getting:
Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
Now I really want to have this dynamic textfield inside the movieclip because it's part of a preloader so I don't just want to addChild to the stage. So Now I think I can't just build it.
I've been working on this all afternoon long and can't seem to shake this error.
1. If you have a dynamic text field and movieclip under a mask layer.
2. through actionscript you set the text of the text field, and set the frame of the movieclip.
3. You want the mask to animate, so you create a new keyframe at frame 10 in the mask layer, and change the shape of the mask. The problem is that when you play the movie and it reaches the keyframe where the mask changes, it resets both the text field and movieclip to it's initial state. I've run into this issue in both AS2 and AS3, and also using an animated movieclip as a mask. Whatever is underneath the mask gets reset. I've created a very simple fla to demonstrate this (attached).
I have a movieclip with a textfield with its variable property assigned to an external variable. I need a way of knowing when the value has changed to perform some actions, and also if possible to validate the value before it is assigned to the textfield. Is there a way to acomplish both this tasks in AS2?
