I have several buttons inside of a movie clip, as well as functions for the MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT events. There is no gap between the buttons, however, if I move from one button to the next, first the MOUSE_OUT and immediately the MOUSE_OVER function is called again (even though all of this is inside of the movie clip). If I have the buttons inside another button, moving from one (sub-)button to the next is not problem, but then I can't have any animations/movie clips inside (or can I?). Is there any way to "fix" this, meaning that I can move from one button to the next without triggering the functions?
I have a movieclip that contains a textfield inside of it. This MovieClip has 2 frames, with the graphic changing colors in both frames and textfield staying the same.I have applied this code to it:
I'm making one xml menu (AS3), but i'm having problems getting the color change when the mouse it's over the textfield menu. I just can change the last textfield, how can i refer to the textfield that the user it's over? for (var i:Number = 0; i < total_nodes; i++) { (...) //My textfield textoMenuFooter.textColor = 0x666666; addChild(textoMenuFooter); var bt_textoMenuFooter = new MovieClip(); bt_textoMenuFooter.addChild(textoMenuFooter); (...) addChild(bt_textoMenuFooter); bt_textoMenuFooter.buttonMode = true; bt_textoMenuFooter.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, funcaoOverMenuCGA); } function funcaoOverMenuCGA(evt:MouseEvent):void { var verConteudoCGA:String = evt.target.name; //this just work in the last textfield if(textoMenuFooter.text == verConteudoCGA){ textoMenuFooter.textColor = 0xFF0000; } }/
I'm trying to create a video player in AS3 that displays the player controls when the user hovers over the video, however I'm having a hard time getting the MOUSE_OVER event to fire. I've made sure that the video's index is at the top, so that's not the issue. Is there something I'm missing? Is there any reason why this event listener wouldn't work on a video object? video.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, doThis);
Is there any way of making the MOUSE_OVER of an object not work until touching the actual object instead of the square box that's around it? I have a bunch of stuff packed together and there are certain objects that cannot be detected due to others pretty much enclosing it with it's surrounding box. If you need further explanation because this is not clear enough just ask me and I will try to explain further.

I am developing an application with Flex for the GUI and Restlet for the webservices. I have a strange problem. I put my XML as a property on a generic object, and send it as part of a POST request. But in the Restlet webservice, this XML is irretrievable. How do I retrieve it? I tried initialising the received Representation object to a DomRepresentation, but thats not working. If I put the received Representation object into a Form object, then getFirstValue is returning that XML as a string! I noticed that the contentType of the HTTPService was application/www-form-encoded so I set it to application/xml and its not helping either. I use restlet 2.0m6 and here is the code snippet that I use -
ok so if i have an obect called square1 and an object called square2 and inside square2 i have hitArea... i want to use shapeflag to detect an absolute true hitTest on just the area of square1 not the bounding box.... i tried this code and it didnt work...
actionscript 2.0
ActionScript Code: if (_root.square1.hitTest(square2.hitArea._x, square2.hitArea._y, true)) {
is it possible to create instance inside method of another instance? But I want new instance to be sibling of instance where it was created.something like this:
ActionScript Code: parent = new Parent(); childA = new Child(); parent.addChild(childA);
Child class would have this onclick event function:
ActionScript Code: public function child_click(e:MouseEvent):void { childB = new Child(); }
I want "childB" to be child of "parent", no property of childA. so I could do:
ActionScript Code: parent.addChild(childB);
how is this possible without passing "parent" instance as parameter?
I posted this on yesterday but i dont think i was clear, here is a link to my site URL..and here is the code for the buttons in the drop down menu.[code]if you click on the netto button first, the other wont work, but if you click the shep homes one first then its fine, i dont understand.
I have my main SWF into which I want to load an external swf...When I've tried using the following code...
var light:Loader = new Loader(); light.load(new URLRequest("light.swf")); addChildAt(light, 1);
The SWF loads but the buttons inside it do not show. How do I load the swf and have the buttons inside it work? Anything inside of the external swf that is a movie clip works, but I'd like to be able to keep the up/down/over and hit features of the button.
I created a movie clip (let's call it "mysymbol") that contains several buttons, as well as functions for MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT events ("mover" and "mout"). Everything works when the mouse enters "mysymbol" for the first time (mover is being called), but if I move the mouse inside mysymbol to another button, the MOUSE_OUT function (mout) is being called first and then immediately mover. Obviously, I don't want there to be any function calling at all! I have found a way to circumvent this, but since I'm new at this I struggle to get it to work properly:
If mysymbol is a button instead of a movie clip, then I can move my mouse freely within mysymbol without triggering any MOUSE_OVER or MOUSE_OUT events. However, there is another problem: I somehow can't get movie clips to work inside a button(I assume this is by design), so how do I get my animations etc. to work inside this button? is there an alternative to using a button as a container?
I have the following code for my buttons (not in a scrollpane), but when I try to add additional (addEventListener) strings to correspond with buttons in a scrollpane I get these error messages (1120: Access of undefined property smith. 1120: Access of undefined property thomas.). I've tried using the script in an actions layer within the MC inside the scrollpane to no avail
I want a Movie Clip to house 5 buttons that will link to frame labels on the main time line.(this will be my main menu navigation)I have created 5 separate buttons then created a Movie Clip.dragged each of the 5 buttons into the movie clip gave instance names for all of them.then I dragged the movie clip to my main timeline and gave that an instance name.I then went into the Movie clip and attempted to use AS3 to get the button instances to navigate to the frame labels.no go
when I test my movie it keeps looping through the whole main timeline no matter how many stop commands I put in the main timeline or in the Movie clip itself.if I have no AS in the Movie clip then the movie tests with the Movie clip working (no scrolling through the timeline and rollover works fine but I still can not command the CLICKs).as a post script I have tried so many AS variables I thought it best to not enter any here

I'm doing a map using AS3, and the mouse controls pan movements. It all works fine, but I can't get the buttons (that will be hotspots) to work inside a movie clip (I also need to make the buttons work inside a movieclip). When I test scene, it all works fine, but the buttons don't work in "test movie" option. The problem isn't any code in AS3, because my movie doesn't even recognize the buttons inside the movie clip.
The problem is, the buttons are not responding at all to the mouse, in "test movie". No rollover color, no hand cursor, nothing.
I am trying to teach myself Flash with AS3, I am using Flash Pro CS5. I am making a website and I want to be able to press a button thats inside a movieclip to navigate to a given frame. Example, Two frames, frame 1 has a movieclip with a button inside a scrollpane. I want to click the button and go to frame 2. need a complete and detailed script for this if thats ok. Also, I dont know if this helps any but the code that I use for buttons on the main timeline is this:
ActionScript Code: function button_clicked(e:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndStop("frame2"); } button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, button_clicked);
I have this code that makes a menu with two buttons appear following the mouse when the mouse rolls over a movieClip:
Code: var imgOptions:menuMC = new menuMC(); //Makes the image options follow the mouse function showImgOptions (e:Event):void {
[code]..
The problem is that the buttons are children of imgOptions, and when the mouse is over these two buttons, the movie reacts like the mouse is not over the imgOptions movieclip.
I have imported a floor plan into Flash CS4. I have the "Rooms" (polylines/rectangles with no fill as drawing objects) that define the rooms as well as the room numbers inside the rooms as text fields. I would like to associate the room numbers with their respective rectangle/polyline that defines the room.
Is there a way to traverse all of the objects on the stage and then say "if the text field is inside the boundaries of this rectangle (the room polyline) then give this polyline that instance name.
I need to scroll a text (only in the center of the page, the top and bottom don't move) with 2 arrows(up and down), but in this text, some words are buttons leading to other keyframes. and this text is in different colors and is formatted.
could I load a text in html and make the links in the html?
I'm getting an odd little problemwhen I have a movieclip I can go:Quote:movieClip.dynamicText.text = "yo";but why doesn't it work with buttons?Quote:randomButton.dynamicText.text = "yo";How can I access a dynamaic text inside a button?
What I'm trying to do:I have an external JPG. I want to treat it as a button. on mouse over, I want it to fade in. However, I'm having problems understanding how to target this in my SWF.So 2 questions, can you target an external JPG to a Movie Clip inside my button? how do I target that?
I'm currently attempting to link buttons to other frames in the movie. I've tried tutorials and just can't seem to get my code to do what I want. The issue is that the buttons are inside a movieclip, and I'm trying to link them to frames in the main movie (Scene 1).
I've created a button and placed it inside a movie clip. I've added the below script (as2) on the button however when I Test Movie, the button does not work.
On my stage I have two buttons that open a movieclip that has more buttons in it.
If button 1 was used to open the movieclip, then the internal buttons each load up text. If button 2 was used, the buttons load up images.
Problem is, if I click on button 1, (to go back to loading text) the last image remains, as I'm not sure how to code removeChild to act if the parent button has been pressed.
Currently, I successfully use removeChild to remove each image as image buttons are clicked within the movieclip. But I'm not sure how to remove the last one?
I just want a scrollpane with thumbnails. When you click on the thumbnails a larger version loads right above. Anyone know how to do this? I have been scouring the internet trying to find an answer with no luck.
