I'm doing a function which checks what button has been clicked on and display information from a XML accordingly. Here it is:

I created a list using xml, which when clicked would display the appropriate information. Everything is working fine, except when a second item on the list is clicked, the information appears on top of the previous information.

I'm building a product page, here's the setup:

On the index.swf is the main navigation that'll open swf's for the different categories. Those products.swf fills with products via php. This is the working code for products.swf:
ActionScript Code:
var t = "";
var cat:String = "products";
[code].....
Now my main issue is, I can't get the product_info.swf right. The problem is I don't know how you can define the products within the products.swf with a name, so you can tell which product you should display in the product_info.swf

This works fine which is great but I would like for it to display information about the link when the user hovers their mouse over the button. How would I do this?
I'm still learning how to use Flash... and am still struggling on one thing. It may seem simple to the most of you -- how exactly do you have the content displayed once you click the button? I'm attempting to have the content for each navigation link button to show up each time it's clicked. Still a failure.
View 4 RepliesI'm working on a game, where if you click an answer, it will double check to see if that's the one you really want. So I tried to set a variable when that button is clicked. On another set of buttons, I placed an if / else statement, but it doesn't seem to be working.[code]
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a portfolio. Right now theres two buttons that both expand and close the box which contains my content. The only problem is once the box is expanded (viewing about me for example) and you clicked the contact me part, the box would just close and not re-open. So what I need to know how to do is to close the box and have it re-open with new content.This has to be done in actionscript because that was my challenge so please do not give me other solutions such as making more MovieClips,

View 6 RepliesI've got about 6 buttons laid out, one on top of the other in a list format. In their normal state the buttons are grey in colour, when I rollover them, the buttons flash and turn to orange. Now, what I need to happen is this: I want the buttons to stay orange once clicked and only roll out back to grey when the user has clicked on another button in the list. I've been told that the best way to do this is via adding a listener, however I am a little unsure as to how to go about this. I've checked the flash help file and have a basic understanding of how listeners work...but can't really wrap my head around applying it to this situation. Perhaps I will need to have all the buttons as separate broadcasters?
View 2 RepliesI want a combo box to display a description of the information in the combo box. The name property is a good way to do this in my opinion "comboBox.name = This is what I named this Box". I have a text field ("textDescription") set to display the name of the comboBox on MOUSE_OVER, but only on the edges does the actual name of the comboBox appear. When in the middle, the textDescription displays "instance #" where # is an actual number. Is there some kind of container placed over the combo box or something??
View 5 RepliesI'm wanting the top 10 scores to display for a game I'm working on. I'm having trouble getting the information to display in a dynamic text box. I've been working on this for 2 days looking at examples and haven't had any luck. I don't know how to get more than one result to show in a dynamic text fields variable. Right now I am getting it to display the very last name in my database. It seems like I'm close, but there needs to be some minor adjustments or something. Could someone give me a suggestion on how to fix this?

View 2 RepliesI have 3 arrays, each containing a random number of elements.
Lets say: array1(), array2(), array3()
I want to display information from 6 array elements on my stage, ideally 2 elements from each array. However, as the arrays may contain more or less than 2 elements, if an array has < 2, I'd like to make up for it if the other arrays have > 2 by showing extra from those arrays instead. As evenly as possible. I'd like to know at the end how many elements of each array to add to the stage (Maximum of 6 altogether).i.e.If we say array1.length() is 3, array2.length() is 1, and array3.length() is 1 - then I'd like it to display 3 from array1, and 1 from the other two arrays.If we say array1.length() is 0, array2.length() is 4, and array3.length() is 5 - then I'd like it to display 3 from each of array2, and array3.So as to get 6 wherever possible, and spread them out evenly wherever possible.
Ok, So I've decided to show some information on my site, but instead of using a static table, I've decided i wanted to use flash.Basically, want I want to do is have 3 bits of information to be displayed in the flash and a start screen.When the flash loads, it will show the starter Screen. From there the user will select either one of the three buttons,which will direct them to one of the 3 bits of information. I was thinking each bit of information on a different frame.How would I link the Buttons to the information?
View 4 RepliesI have a menu with five nav buttons (atcually MovieClips). Each has three frame labels: "on", "stay", and "off". The rollover and rollout animations play flawlessly, but I'm at a loss as to how to give each button a sticky "active" state. I'd like the button to stay in it's active state until another button is clicked, then I would like it to play it's "off" animation. Each MC has this code:

I would like to create a component(extending from spark Panel), which upon a buttonclick should show up next to the button(something like a bubble popping up or like the small box opening up when hovering up on profile links in facebook/twitter). I tried to create a component that implements mx.core.IToolTip and provided the methods required by the interface. And on the toolTipCreate event, set this component as the tooltip.
This works to an extent. When I bring the mouse over the button, the panel appears as the tooltip and goes away when i move the mouse away. What I need is, the panel should appear next to the button when click on it and should go away only when I click outside the panel or click the close button present inside the panel.
I have a flash clip that moves a movieclip when the mouse is clicked on the movieclip. Something very basic. I'm not using drag (since the MC doesn't move with the mouse all the time), but rather using onMouseMove to update the MC location according to _xmouse, _ymouse and some other calculations. The problem was that under internet explorer the movement became very slow and if I kept moving the mouse slowly, it wouldn't update until I stopped. I checked the traces and the event was triggered properly. I tried using updateAfterEvent(); This didn't happen in firefox. (After a long, frustrating debugging I eventually found out what caused this. Since I've looked for the answer online and didn't find one, I've decided to add it here for others.)

I want it to access a parameter of a movie clip that this same button loads onto the movie for the new global variable value. I have the final line under this button's onrelease script with something like this:
globalvariable1 = movieclip.parameter; Everything is on level 0 and I've tried prefixing everything with _root. but it didn't make a difference, the global variable still wasn't changed. I'm a newbie so don't laugh if this is a really dumb question!

// About and smile1 button scripts

i have given 3 functions as onEnterFrame,onPress,onRelease. i tried all these but didnt get the result.smile1,smile2,smile3 are button instances which are declared on the monie clip.my main thing is i hav a button, when i click on that button it should go the next frame which i have declared in "gotoAndPlay(6)" method.
Anyway what I need to do is have a movie clip finish playing when a button is clicked and then go to the frame label associated with the button. I hope I'm explaining myself ok. So if I had say 4 buttons Home Gallery About Contact If Contact is clicked then I want the Home page to play (Which is a fade out) and then go to Contact Page (which will fade in). Then If Gallery is clicked then I want Contact to fade out and then go to Gallery page and fade in.
