My SWF contains a combobox that functions as expected when it is viewed alone. But when this same SWF is loaded into a 'container' SWF the combobox no longer works.
The container SWF uses AS3, and the SWF that is being loaded into it uses AS2. Could this be the problem?
I added a movieclip and named "bot_mc" in another movieclip. Then, In Action panel, I use bot_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOWN, xxxx). However, when I drag and drop the container movieclip on the main stage and compile. There is no error occurs but the MouseEvent doesn't work.

Having spent ages finally getting an active/viewed button script to work, I thought all I had to do to complete things was add the button actions (I want each button to load an external swf). For some reason, this is then preventing the above working as it should. I suspect it's obvious to someone who understands this stuff, but I've got things working so far through a mixture of copy/paste and trial&error, and I've got completely stuck at this last hurdle.
[Code]...
I think this may have something to do with the order it's all in, and I suspect having most of the above commands in a for / if loop might not support me adding additional actions afterwards which may overrule the other ones.without anyone else wasting too much time, if anyone can see the (presumably obvious to some people) mistake I'm making in the above, please let me know!
I want change the HBox's style when click any object inside this HBox. I set handle for click event of HBox, and then I found it very difficult to select item in the combobox in this HBox.When I click the combobox, it drops down its item list, and HBox style changed, then combobox drop up very quickly, I have no time to select an item in the Combobox.Here is my codes, is there any way to avoid this problem?
<mx:Repeater id="itemRepeater">
<mx:HBox id="itemHBox" styleName="active" click="onItemClick(event);">
<mx:ComboBox id="cb1" dataProvider="{dp}" close="closeHandler(event);"/>

I wonderd if it was possible to do so when clicking on one of the options in the ComboBox, it could load an .swf into an container?

I decided to try to use setInterval for myanimation, which is just a mouse trail.However, I'm trying to get teh mouse trail to be a dynamic mask.In my previous swf this was achieved by using a holder mc with the animation inside and then using this as the mask. But this time I just canpt seem to hit on the right way to get it to work. The code I am using for the mouse trail is:
Code:
var i:Number = 0;
var myInt:Number;
var t:MovieClip;[code].....
in the function, but now the trail doesn't resize and the mask still doesn't work.
Im loading an array of text and the problem right now is that if I want to remove the whole array i need to use several removes and thats not what i want. So I put everything into a container and want to remove the container but it doesn't work only the last object in the array gets removed when i run the swf. Below is my code:

I have a combobox in a view that receives information about application state changes, and then is supposed to show or hide it's children based on the whole application state. It receives state change messages, it traces the correct values, it does what it's supposed to do, however, it just doesn't seem to work. Essentially, all it needs to do is hide a combobox during one state, and show it again during another state.[code]

Do you have idea about the reason for that error and how to prevent it? N.B. The code that triggers this error is as a result for click handler. If before encountering this error change the selection on my yearsCb, everithing is fine. EDIT: I forget to specify that this error is thrown when it is a selected item in my ComboBox. It seem that after container that holds the ComboBox loses the focus, it doesn't recognize it's ComboBox child as having a selected item anyway (this problem arise only after the modal popup close.).
im using as3 and components. here i make a combobox.editable=true; i type something inside.. then click outside, the combobox doesn't loose focus. i tried to write stage.focus=null;. but i got d following error
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

Why is it that the mx.core.Container uses its contentPane sometimes, but doesn't at other times?Or, in other words, how come the children of Container are only put into the contentPane if some complex logic decides that they should be put there? Why not simply always put all children in the contentPane?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to load a external .swf into an MC container but the external .swf has dynamic text that loads from an xml, when I view it through the other .swf which contains the container the text doesn't show up.
View 1 RepliesI have an interactive story divided into scenes. At the end of each scene a button appears. This occurs on a frame on the timeline.
There are two different buttons that might appear based on whether a prior scene has been viewed or not.
For example, there are Scene_1 and Scene_2. At the end of Scene_2 one of two buttons will appear. The buttons will be either "Go see Scene_1" or "Return to Main Menu".
If the user has already seen Scene_1, Flash will know that and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Return to Main Menu".
Conversely, if the user has not seen Scene_1, Flash will know and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Go see Scene_1".
I imagine there would be an action frame at the end of Scene_2 that will contain the as2 code to enable this action.
Perhaps something like, but probably not at all like the following:
if ("Scene_1", last frame == true){gotoAndPlay("frame#");}else{gotoAndPlay("frame#");}
I have a button object that I need to scale to align with the variable width of an array of images.However, when I set the width in code, the button does not actually become that width. Tracing out the width gives me the correct value, but on screen.. it's off.
I've proved it to myself by scaling the same button object manually in the properties pane and visually comparing. Both of the buttons below have a width of 410.
Code:
navigatorDown_btn.width = 410;
navigatorDown_btn.x = (stage.stageWidth/2)-(navigatorDown_btn.width/2);
trace(navigatorDown_btn.width); // output: 410
I have a combo box on the stage in a main SWF. when the user selects an item in the dropdown list a child SWF is launched into level0 using loadMovieNum and data is left behind using _global variables for the child SWF to use. this works fine and well. but inside the new child SWF that is launched is a button that takes you back to the previous main SWF with the ComboBox. its done using the same method loadMovieNum into level0. and the main SWF loads but you cannot open the ComboBox. it will not drop down. the halo green color on hover over is there and it gets darker when you click, but the list doesn't drop down. here is some code that I think may be significant to the situation...

I have this enter_frame listener to make my Container MovieClip rotate on a 3D environment in relation to the position of the mouse.

One of the MovieClips I load into that "ctt" container has some scrollable content. I've traced both the CLICK and MOUSE_DOWN events on the Dragger of the scrollbar and it's active, it receives the click and mouse_down events. The problem is that it doesn't drag.
I know that the scrollbar works because if I remove the loop enter_frame event I showed before it works perfectly, it just doesn't rotate on a 3D environment as I wanted it to.
why the dragger doesn't drag when that ENTER_FRAME event like that is being used?
I am going to make one contact form with Combobox with some input fields in it. The problem is when I tested the contact.swf it works fine and I can easily select any item as I like. But when this contact.swf loads in the main swf by clicking the contact button in the main swf the combo box does not work at all. I attached these two flash for your look. [URL].
View 2 RepliesI have a custom class the extends ComboBox. In it I set the textField style to embed fonts and use a custom textFormat. If I put this into a flash file all by itself, it works fine. But as soon as I put it into my actual project, it no longer works. I can't figure out why!
I can't really upload the source, so I was just curious if anyone had ideas as to what I might try to get it to work.
I have created a font symbol in the library for the font I want and exported it. And as I said, it works fine in an empty flash file, just not in my actual project.

Has anyone successfully used hitTestObject on objects that weren't on the stage?
I have game code that works fine when the objects on are the stage, but replace "stage" with "this" (the game object that covers the whole stage) and it doesn't work.
I have several external SWF (child) movies that are to be loaded upon demand into another SWF container (parent) movie file. Pretty straight forward. Each of the child movies has MCs communicating with other MCs within the same child movie. For instance the timeline of one MC will have a frame action, which targets another MC instance to play(). Again, Pretty straightforward stuff.
These files work beautifully when viewed independently. The problem is when they are loaded into the parent container movie the target MC functionality no longer works. I believe it's because once the child movie is loaded into the parent movie the absolute path of the targeted MC has changed and what was once the '_root' in the child movie is no longer the actual root?
I have tried both methods in the child movie:
//method without using 'with'
_root.ContentWindow.play();
And using the 'with action like so:
//method using 'with
with (_root.ContentWindow) {
play();
}
It would seem that in theory once the Child SWF file is loaded into the Parent SWF file the targeted path would have to have another level in it - cuz now the MC 'ContentWindow' is no longer one level down from the '_root' but two levels?
For example: _root.LoadedChildMovie.ContentWindow.play()
why a ComboBox component wouldn't work if it's in a movieclip brought in with attachMovie? When I click on the combo box, the menu drops down like normal, but no matter what I click on, it goes blank. Just spent a lot of time searching the net for an answer, found a few suggestions but nothing has worked.The combo box works fine if it's placed on any timeline in my main movie, but when it's in a movieclip that is attached with attachMovie, it stops working.
View 2 RepliesI have a swf that is pretty complicated, you can interact with the page and go to different keyframes and it stops and/or starts depending on buttons, but I want to put it in a fla or something so I can put other swfs next to it and build it up and put several of them together as one.
I don't care about making it too complicated, I just want one interactive swf to go to the next compiled swf when that movie ends, but when I try importing it or loading it it just runs straight through without stopping or paying any attention to the scripting.
I am trying to more between frames using the data returned from a node n_EventID in an xml, when the node returns "1408" I want to move to frame 1 but if it returns anything else I want to move to frame 2. The part where the code moves to frame 2 seems to work perfectly but I can't seem to move to frame 1 when "1408" is returned.

I'm having a problem, where random IE's are not able to display my .swf file. All the IE's are IE8 with the latest flash pluggins and all security's are set at Medium, however some IE's get just a grey box and other's get the full flash file. What's going on? It works fine in Safari and Firefox of course, but why so much difficulty with AS3 Flash9 in IE? here is a link to the site, and it's the big image changer at the bottom of the front page.
