I am unable to view the Actions Panel window in a document I've already done a lot of work in. It worked previously - I created an Actions Layer and was able to add action script, however, when I try to open it back up to edit the action script I wrote, neither the F9 shortcut nor the Windows>Actions pulls up the Actions Panel. In fact, when I try either method, nothing happens.

View 1 RepliesThis is kind of a lame complaint, but any benefit I have gained from upgrading from CS4 to CS5 is being eclipsed by the frustrating change that while I am trying to use the "Find" tool in the "Actions" panel, as soon as I hit "Find Next" the Actions panel closes and I have to close the Find tool then re-open the Actions panel then again to see if it found what I was looking for then re-open the Find tool if I need to go to the next instance. I know this does not seem like the biggest of deals, but is there a way to fix this?
I will also add that this happens when the panel is clicked from the icon. If the whole panel is free floating it works fine, but then it is obviously blocking the whole stage, and I have to collapse it to an icon to see anything. There is also the possibility that it is computer/OS difference since my CS4 machine and my CS5 machine are two different computers one running XP and the other running Vista.

View 7 Replies have only been animating for several months now. I am now trying to get into simple games, and I am starting with what I was told is the easiest, a Dress-Up game.This is the source of the tutorial that I am following: http:[url]....
I am following the Dress-Up game. I have created a button, dragged it into the Movie-Clip, and then went back to the scene, and selected it, right clicked, and clicked Actions."Current Selection" is selected, and it says "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it".
when I try to add this action to Scene 1, or Symbol Definitions it is a syntax error, and says extra characters as the reason.The script I am trying to use to make my Ball movable is;
on(press) {
startDrag(this,false);

View 1 RepliesI discovered this while doing some programmatic panel resizing:Components in a spark Panel will still be visible when their location is outside the physical Panel boundaries. This does not happen with the mx Panel.unning Flex 4.1 on Windows 7I tried putting mx and spark controls in the spark Panel, and they both appear outside of the boundaries. Note this doesn't happen with the mx Panel. What am I missing to make the spark behave like the mxSample Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I want to create a panel docking to a pop up panel in my flex app, like Winamp's playlist window can dock to main window. but I didn't find any useful on docking in flex
I've traced the PopUpManager, but I didn't find any available interfaces or events about popup window's moving, I think it's design shouldn't be so bad.
Does anyone knows of a way to get the output panel in flash or the console panel in flex builder or flash builder, to format the "traces" with html or any thing else? for example:
trace( <b>brett</b> ); and to get that to appear in bold in the console window or the output window?
I have a series of frames one the timeline. Each frame has a graphic and a mouse click leads to the next frame. Think Myst.
[Code]...
When the middle frame is returned to, clicks no longer change anything. I believe that the actions of the 'left' frame are replacing the one's in the middle frame so then it is told to gotoAndStop to itself.
I'd like to know if that is indeed what is happening and how I can make it stop.
1. Can i put another set of actions in frame 2 of the actions layer?i tested but it doesn't seem to work..it has 836 rows of code and it's getting annoying when tryin to search for a function..
2. I am not that familiar with classes, i usually put all the code into movieclips or in actions layer.. i am not sure if i can call a function from a actionscript class..
3.I am curios if there is any way i could specify an alternative for the if statement like in this pseudocode:
if ( apple is not clean BUT is tasty)
{
eat(apple)
}

I have just finished my flash website and it looks fine in Firefox and Safari but a friend sent me a snapshot of how it looks in IE and it has some weird scrollbars showing up, as well as the normal browser scrollbars...why is this?

I have a dynamic text field that I create and populate with code, and a UIScrollBar that goes along with it.works correctly, the scroll-bar appears no problem.The issue comes in when I load the SWF into another project.I have a SWF interface that loads other pages (SWF, FLV, etc) When the SWF with the scrollbar is loaded into the interface, the scrollbar does not display at all.Here is the code for the scrollbar SWF, if:
import fl.controls.UIScrollBar;
var myTxt:TextField = new TextField();
myTxt.border = false;

I've got a swf file that is supposed to play back a flv within a player. When I test it locally, it works fine, but when I upoaded all of the files (swf, flv, and SteelExternalPlaySeekMute) to the server, when I call the main swf on the page, it doesn't show the controls. If I just call up the swf in a new browser, though, it works fine.
I think the problem may lie in the fact that the html file that loads the swf is not in the same filepath in the server as the swf file. Could it be that the swf is looking for the controls swf in the html's directory, rather than the directory its in? (Though, that doesn't make sense, because it appears to load the flv without an issue, and they are in the same directory)

I'm putting together a flash animation which has 1 png file replicated quite a few times. to be more precise, a snow flake. When they build up on top of each other im getting strange blotches that should not be there.I have a feeling that because of how many times the image is replicated it is struggling (Flash, not my computer), as when there were only half of the flakes it did not do it.
