I've been searching around the web for a very long time but I can't seem to find a good solution for this pickle:I have a dynamic textfield on AS3 and would like to add a tooltip to some words within the text. I already got the tooltip class, so the problem lies in fact on 'how to listen to mouse over events on specific texts inside a textfield'I've been trying to follow some methods from the livedocs but all I can get so far is a rectangle object of a single character using getCharIndexAtPoint and getCharBoundaries. It works if I just needed to add a tooltip to a single character (since it can detect which character I'm currently pointing at), but I need to search for actual words. It would be nice to have some sort of getMouseAt(text:String) but that doesn't seem to exist.

I have an odd predicament that I'm trying to wrap my head around. I have a textField, that is populated by data from an xml file. It contains simple line html line break tags, and when I use the htmlText option, it doesn't seem to recognize those tags, even though they don't show up when I view it online. Here is my code:
Code:
//FLASHVARS CODE
var varName:String;
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
for (varName in paramObj) {
[Code]......
I can't figure out how to make it render properly. If I choose a dynamic text field already on the stage it works fine, but then the scrollbar doesn't work. I read that a TextField automatically uses a scrollbar when it gets too long. Can anyone suggest a possible work around for this? I feel the answer is staring me in the face and I just can't see it.

I have a movieclip, an image at the same size as the movieclip (it's like the backgroundImage of the mc) and a textfield. I have first created a movieclip object 'my_mc' then I loaded an external image 'ld_image' I created also a TextField object 'txtField' with backgroundColor red
then I did:
Code:
my_mc.addChild(ld_image);
//my_mc size = ld_image size
After that I did:
Code:
my_mc.addChild(txtField);
addChild(my_mc);
but now the txtField isn't visible but my cursor changes if I go over it with my mouse.

I'm trying to have a class file which can add objects to the stage via addChild; however, when I call addChild from within the class file, I get the error "1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild." I've tried importing flash.display.* and that doesn't fix the problem. Does the class file have to extend Sprite or MovieClip to be able to add objects to the stage?

I have downloaded Box2d ([URL]) and created a project that looks like this: [URL]. catalyst is the green cube and it has the base class "shapes.box", it is inside "world" which has the base class "wck.World". What i want to do is to add another "catalyst" from the library inside "world" when i click on add_btn. I tried to accomplish this by this code:

Symbol 'buttons', Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 41061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type Class.

I have the followings:
_p:Player (which is a MC)
a1:Animation1 (which is a MC)
_p.addChild(a1); //doesn't display anything
_p.stage.addChild(a1); //displays a1
Why won't the MC display a child without using his stage?

I'm trying to resolve an issue that reared it's ugly head yesterday.Frame one of main timeline I have the following code:
Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[code]....
The newMC doesn't show up.If I add 'parent.' in front of the addChild then it appears.mc_LibItem has a base class of "flash.display.MovieClip" and is exporting for ActionScript and on frame one.For grins I created a new .fla and began messing around with the same addChild idea and it worked.

I have a flv player on stage, along with several buttons. Everytime I press a button, I change the flv file played by the flv player.
I would like to make the transition seamless - since the last frame of the first video is identical to the first frame of the second video, the second flv would start right away.However, the flv player blinks between a video and another, probably because it is loading the local file.

I was working lately on this tutorial: http:[url]....and I wanted to make sth similar but a little more complicated (only in looks - not in code).Its sth like this: I got a sheet of paper with loaded .swf file on it (same as in that tutorial); then the sheet wraps itself (the .swf file on it disapears because the sheet is a MASK); when it is wraped another .swf file is loaded (cannot be seen yet); and at the end the sheet unwraps and the new contet (new .swf) is revealed.
And I got this problem: when the new .swf file is being loaded it appears for a half of a second (even if there is NO MASK on it - and it shouldn't be seen!) before even the sheet begins to unwrap and then disapears and everything is going ok. No code errors. Why do I have such effect of blinking on load ? It completely ruins the cool thing with wraping. Can you give me any advice ? There is no such thing in mentioned tutorial

This may seem trivial but for some reason I am having a difficult time getting the answer to this seemingly simple problem. I am trying to make an eye blink at random between 1-15 second intervals. I have a MC of the eye blinking, only 10 frames long, set on my stage (an outline of a head/face). On the first frame of the eye blinking MC labeled "Eye" I have this code:
stop();
random_number = Math.ceil(Math.random()*15000);
delay = setInterval(this, "play", random_number);
At first it seems like the code will work, then it appears to overlap itself over and over and over until the eye starts to blink rapidly without hesitation. Am I missing something? Or is the idea of getting this to work more complicated then it lets on...

I have a main "shell" swf which, by clicking several buttons, will load/unload various external swfs into a Placeholder_mc which resides on the main timeline in Shell.swf In the documentation and tutorials I've seen a couple different methods, and I'm not sure I quite understand the difference, or at least the reason you would use one over the other...In the 1st method, you can just add the Loader object using the addChild() method:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
Placeholder_mc.addChild(myLoader);
This will apparently add myLoader to the display list once it has completely loaded.The 2nd method, you supposedly can add the Loader.content; however, it appears you can only do this once the content has completed loading, so you need to incorporate an event handler with the contentLoaderInfo object:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
[code]....
What are the pros/cons of adding the entire Loader object, as opposed to the Loader.content and vice versa?

I had written movie player for my website few months ago and I'm upgrading it by adding some new functionality from time to time. Not long ago I've observed quite curious behavior of my browser. If my site is opened in one of tabs in browser, the cursor is blinking, from arrow to handcursor, when I'm rolling over links. Interesting is that it happens in every tab opened in browser, if only one of them contains my website. Closing my site returns every other tab to normality. I tried opening my site with blocked this one .swf file (my player) and also was everything ok. I've tested this on few different browsers and systems and it seems to happen in MacOS (tested in Safari, FF2, FF3 and Opera) Windows (in FF2, FF3, Safari, Opera IE6, IE7 and Chrome), no matter if installed version of FlashPlayer is 9 or 10. On Ubuntu Linux it doesn't happen in FF3, nor in Opera (only this two browsers tested).
I've built my player in Flash CS3, using AS2. Unfortunately, I don't know in which version of my application the problem has occurred. Of course I could examine whole code line by line, but that's about 2.5k lines and it is not the work I want to do if not necessary... I've searched lot of forums, but I found solution nowhere. Maybe someone had spotted such a strange browser behavior or simply does know, what may cause it?
The problematic site is [URL]. If you want, open it in one of tabs and try to play with links in other, you'll see what I'm writing about.

I have to display a movieclip image in flash depending on a variable is set or not, and when the variable is set to True it should blink as below.Show the movie clip for 500msec. Hide for 500msec and then show again for 500msec etc..
If the variable is set to false then it should be hidden immediately.
Presently i tried this using Timers and visible property of image.But this is not looking like natural blinking.Is there a way to achieve the blinking effect with built in properties of flash?

I've got a main textfield myTextfield01. When I put focus on another textfield which is empty (either manually by clicking on another field, or like below using setFocus) I want the focus to go back to myTextField01 again. And put the blinking cursor and the very end of whatever is typed into it. So I tried this.
myTextfield01.onKillFocus = function(newFocus:Object) { if (newFocus.text == "") { Selection.setFocus(myTextfield01); Selection.setSelection(myTextfield01.text.length-1, myTextfield01.text.length); }};
But that didn't work. It went back to myTextfield01, but the blinking cursor stayed at the empty textfield and any text typed would be added to that empty field.When I put this in frame one:
myTextfield01.onKillFocus = function(newFocus:Object) { if (newFocus.text == "") { nextFrame()); }};
And this in frame two:
Selection.setFocus(myTextfield01); Selection.setSelection(myTextfield01.text.length-1, myTextfield01.text.length);
it did work. Both focus and cursor where in myTextfield01 again.So why doesn't it work when I combine it all in one frame?

Is there a way to tell if a Flex TextArea has a blinking cursor? One indication is if the component is focused: focusManager.getFocus() == textArea
But it's possible to have a blinking cursor without having the focus. I'm not sure if the converse is possible (focus without blinking cursor).
Edit: The rub here appears to be a distinction between "component-level" focus and "player-level" focus (per the FocusManager docs). I haven't yet found any great explanation of the latter or APIs to it.

Basically I'm creating two (can be more or less) rows of layered MC treaten as Buttons.In each MC there is a small thumbnail hidden behind a coloured layer. When roll_over the coloured layer, this alpha goes to 0(zero) and entire MC resize +10% over x and y.On roll_out the opposite occurs, everything should get to the original alpha and size.
The Problem: when moving the mouse really fast over the MC's and stop suddenly over one of them it starts 'blinking' (size and alpha goes in and out and won't stop unless you move the mouse a little)
