I'm working on a drag-n-drop functionality in flex4/as3, for the first time. I use the DragManager-class, and the basic drag-and-drop stuff works now. But, how do I change the little red "reject cursor" which is displayed when i drag objects over areas where I can't drop it? I can find "rejectCursor" in the styles specification here: [URL]
View 2 RepliesI have a project in Flash Professional CS5 and ActionScript 3.
I have a movieclip symbol (referred herein as "background" with scripts on various keyframes inside of that symbol. I need to hide or show another symbol (referred herein as "object") sharing a stage with "background".
To put it another way, I need "object" to be hidden when "background" reaches a certain internal keyframe. However, as "object" and "background" are both children of the same stage, how do I do this?
Is there any oppsite method for DragManager.acceptDragDrop(),like DragManager.removeDragDrop() which can be handled in dragExit event.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to do collision detection for my game, but I don't necessarily like the premade methods hitTestObject or hitTestPoint just as they are. I've been searching all over the place for how to change the bounding box of a symbol, but all I found was how to get its bounding box. I'm aware of the pixel perfect collision detection code out there, but I'm looking to use bounding boxes for certain classes.
Is it possible to change the symbol's bounding box and still have that box recognized by hitTestObject or hitTestPoint? If not, I might have to write my own colllision detection code. =/
When create a new symbol, I have to choose the "Registration" (that is the position in the box create symbol), I don't know how can I change the "Registration" when I have created that symbol?
View 5 RepliesLooking through our windows event viewer application logs, I've noticed alot of these warning listed. What would cause they messages to generated? Anything to be concerned about? It seems they're all created in between live event streams - after a live stream has stopped published and before the next live event stream begins, about a 20 minute break.

I've got this script that makes this certain symbol to move anywhere when you press the keys.Now I want a button that when you press it, it will position the certain symbol I was speaking of, anywhere I want counting on the x and y axis.

View 1 RepliesI just wanna ask if I can change color of graphic symbol or i have to convert symbol to MC?
example: I make a rectangle, now i wanna with some color picker or buttom change a color of rectangle.
Second problem: i have two rectangles and i change bg. color of one rectangle, and when i changed the color of background of that rectangle tweening stop.
if you can set and change different properties of a graphic symbol using AS? I know you can change MC's and buttons. I also know that you can change graphic symbol properties using the prop inspector. I was thinking that since you can change properties like _alpha in the Prop Inspector, how to you set and control them using AS.

View 1 RepliesI have created a button symbol which consists of a rounded rectangle with text on top. After adding two filters (bevel and glow), I went to edit the symbol. However, in the editing screen, I can't seem to access the filters; they don't show up in the properties panel when the button is selected. I'd like to change the glow color for the Over and Down states.
View 2 RepliesI need to create an interactive piece. It's much more involved than this but fundamentally I need to create a slider on the left side of a window that is the color spectrum. I'll put a small triangular pointer beside it that can be moved up and down beside the spectrum. I want whatever color the slider is next to to show up in a symbol on the right. I've attached a simple image that illustrates it. So to restate it again, I'd slide the triangular symbol up and down beside the spectrum gradient on the left and whatever color it is pointing to would just show up in the symbol on the right, real time.

View 14 RepliesI am making flash segments for one of my professors for online teaching and the way he has his server set up, whenever there are interactive segments, the segments are done on one frame. Right now I am trying to make an interactive segment where you click on input variables to an AND gate (in circuitry) to change the input from 0 and 1, and then based on these inputs it will show the output.
Basically I want to start out by having them all display ?'s, and then if you click on the ? it turns into a 1 and then clicking again goes to a 0 and 1 and 0 etc. How can I either change what these buttons look like or how can I change the buttons to go from the ? button to the 1 button while all staying on one frame? I am very very new to actionscript (I know how to AddEvent Listener, etc, I just need to know what to write for my function)
i'm making a game and i don't know what script to use to change the alpha color of the graphic symbol i used.the game is a shooting game, ex: target points is 50, if the score is 25 the alpha color should be at 50%, if score is 50 alpha is at a 100%i tried this script but it doesn't work
onClipEvent (load) {
if(score<=50){
skeleton_mc._alpha = (score/50*100);

View 2 RepliesI want to add an animated .gif file to my movie. So I created a new symbol and then imported the .gif file to the stage. This created the symbol containing the animated .gif.I dragged the symbol onto the scene where I want it. However, the animation seems to play at a different speed (fps) than normal. So I changed the fps of the symbol (at bottom of Timeline where it says "fps"). But for some reason this changes the fps of the rest of the entire movie.
View 3 RepliesI have created several buttons on the stage that on "over" change to a movie symbol and rotate. At the same time there is text that appears to the left in a grey area. All works fine, until you mouse over the grey area and text begins to appear and the corresponding button's movie starts. I assume that this is happing because it considers anywhere that there is an object to be part of the button it's self. How do i fix this?

what i want to do is, when certain button is clicked, replace a certain symbol(button) by another symbol(movieclip) stored in the library. i try things like loadmovie("","") to replace the symbol from a external jpg, but some how it does not align even both images are exact dimension. can i replace an image straight from the library?

View 2 RepliesBasically there's an object in a movieclip. I want to find the location of that object in relation to the movieclip, not of the object's symbol. So when i look at the x and y of it, it wont show 0, it will show the x and y location in the movieclip it's in.
View 2 RepliesI'm, trying to create a duplicate symbol and then be able to drag the symbol around the screen.I have an image - once converted to a button and on the stage as paddock_btn. The other converted to paddock_mc in the library, with a linkage identifier of "paddock".I want to be able to click the button, and create a duplicate, which can be dragged and placed on the screen.Unfortunately, I don't get any output errors here.
Code:
//create a function to duplicate paddock

I have a scrollout menu for my flash movie, but each of the buttons have to be movies symbols. I try to attach:
on (release) {
gotoand stop(4)
}
But I get the error that this script only works for buttons. Anyone able to lend some assist? I suck at actionscript.
So i've done SOME work with flash and AS3, right now i'm working on a website for my boss, he bought some template online which has stuff laid out and animated and everything already, now I just have to integrate our content.My issue is this, I've got 2 symbols on the screen, one of which contains alot of buttons that list our services as company, the second symbol contains the content (or descriptions) of those services, which on are separate keyframes.What I'm trying to accomplish is that when you hit the button in "symbol A", it affects the "symbol B" and goes to the corresponding keyframe.For example when I click "button 2" in "symbol A", "symbol B" goes to keyframe 2.Now if they were in the same symbol it would be something like
on(release){
goToAndStop(2);
}

I am following this tutorial, [URL] and everything works until i actually try to place a graphic symbol into another symbol. I am trying to make a character walk across the stage. Flash tells me I cannot place a symbol within itself. Why not and how can i!!
