I have a combo box in swf B which I load in swf A.1: If I test swf B the combo box fills ok and expands ok. If I test swf A which loads swf B the combo box appears with data in it. But it does not expand.

It might be something simple I'm doing wrong.I have an array populated by XML in a function by doing the following inside the function:
first_special.addItem({label: xmlMenuFile.item.headers[i],data:
xmlMenuFile.item.descriptions[i],data2: xmlMenuFile.item.hints[i]});
The problem I'm having is trying to figure out a way so that the "data2" will fill the text field "hint_txt" on ROLL_OVER of that items name in the list.I've tried to placing an event listener into the function that populates the combo box .this populates the combo box label and data with the Loaded XML File. This works
function changeHandler(ev:Event):void
{
menuText_mc.heading1_txt.text = ev.currentTarget.selectedItem.label;[code]......
I have two combo boxes. The first combo box's data is added through an XMLConnector object, the second combo box, I would like to populate through an on (change) event in the first combo box. The items in the second combo box would relate to the selection made in the first combo box.
I have attempted the following within the Actions for the first combo box:
on(change) {
switch(this.value) {
case "value1":
comboBox2.addItem({Label:"Label",Data:"Data"});
break;
} // end switch
} // end event
which is not working.
should an event be dispatched by comboBox1 and a listener be attached to comboBox2? I can't find any examples of this on the internet.. but i might be using the wrong search terms.
I try to do a gallery(not important right now) bar that expand when the mouse over it, and back to normal when the mouse get out. I used AS3. There is frame 1, 5 and 10, when 1 and 10 is the normal/small sized bar, and 5 is the big one. As you guessed, 1->5 and 5->10 connected in motion tween, and the layer goes as a loop. The problem is AS:Frame 1:

I'm using one of the resizeable image gallery's found on this site.It works great for me, but i have one problem.. I can't really expand it now.I use a frame where i load all the thumbnails for the images. 12 thumbnails will fit in that frame, not more. I want to create it like this: if i load more then 12 thumbnails, a link(a nr) will come automatically at the bottom of that frame. If i will click that link i will see the other thumbnails... In case there are more then 24 thumbnails a third link (nr 3) will come... and so on.the problem is that i havent got the slightest idea how to achieve this
View 14 RepliesI know how to do general mosueover which cause cause new objects to load, or display a different frame in the timeline. What I wanted to know is how does one get it to do what looks like to be a motion tween when object is rolled over.
View 1 Repliesallright,i have this flash intro/main page for my website. and it suppose to play animation as an intro/main page and wait for user to click on any of the icons displayed. once user clicks , i want the window(size of 700*900) to resize or cut off the bottom part of the page to form it as a header. so that i can display it as a header without uploading another swf file.

View 2 RepliesI currently have an small animation job that involves an enormous zoom out. To do this I need to scale the symbol containing all the animation out in the main timeline, from extremely close to quite far away.
I have two problems that are preventing me from doing this satisfactorily.
Firstly, the transform panel doesn't work. Specifically, entering scale values only seems to work beween 0 and 100%, anything larger gives unpredictable results.
Second, the symbol has become too large for the work area (I have zoomed out as far as I can go) - how can this area to spread out to the whole of the graphic editing area, instead of the third of it that is on the left side?
For example, I have used the Free Transform tool and scaled the item up 2500%, and now it's too big for the limited work area. To scale it further, or scale it back, I need to enter scale amounts into the Transform panel. After doing this, the figures I enter turn into arbitrary other values and my symbol either warps or disappears entirely.
Ideally, I should be able to look at the stage itself, click on the symbol, scale it in the Transform panel to 3000% and be done with it.
I often have the problem that after shifting my AS windows around some times the window becomes highter than my screenheight. The window can only be resized in height when dragging the bottom of the window. But as it is offscreen I can't resitze it. I have to load a new workspace or dock it on some small window group and then drag it away (works only with some windows).
View 4 RepliesI am trying to get input from my Arduino to Flash, Flash gets signals like this: [where each number seperated by a - at the end, stands for the input of a sensor]
mux0array: 0-0-0-0-0-400-0-0-0-20-0-0-0-0-0-65-
mux1array: 0-0-800-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
mux2array: 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-10-0-0-0-0-0-50-0-
Code to convert this text to values in an array, using regular expressions [totally new for me] that would convert the data to:
0: 0,0,0,0,0,400,0,0,0,20,0,0,0,0,0,65
1: 0,0,800,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
2: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,100,0,0,0,0,50,0
which is traced by this line: trace(dataId + ': ' + dataArray);
So dataId can change from 0 to 2, and dataArray contains multiple (integer) values
Friday, this worked perfect. But for some weird reason, it stopped working properly: it looks like it merges lines when it shouldn't:
1: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,02: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,01: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 ,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,21: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
As you can see, the first line, is working fine: 16 values
the 2nd line contains 33 values: the 16 values supposed to come after the 2:, but after that 16th value, a linebreak is missing, and the 0: is displayed as a 0, and adding his 16 values behind it. The same goes for line 3: 1: 16 values,2,16 values,0,16 values
the next line only merges 1: and 2:
This is the used script:
// accumulates data coming from arduinovar sensorData:String = "";
// connects to arduino boardvar arduino:SerialPort = new SerialPort();
arduino.addEventListener(DataEvent.DATA, onArduinoData );
arduino.connect( "127.0.0.1", 5331 );

View 5 RepliesI made a rounded rectangle in as3 and would like to expand it on click. This is the code I use:
var lesBg:Sprite = new Sprite();
with (lesBg.graphics) {

When I click on it I would like it to expand to twice its size. I'm doing this with TweenLite but when I expand it I get ugly pixelated images and the borders expand too.
Tweenlite.to(lesBg, 1,{width: 380});
Is it possible to expand the image so it stays clean and the borders stay intact?

I know that people don't generally like expanding flash banners, but my motive is simply to provide additional details for the sponsors of my forum[url]...
As you can see, in the upper right hand corner, I have a very simple rotating flash banner that shows the local companies that keep it going. I'd like to provide an additional service for people that are interested in using them, where each sponsor gets a drop-down menu that has a map, address, directions and contact information IF the user clicks on it, and wants to see the information for that sponsor.
Now I know enough about flash on how to create the actual banner itself, but for the life of me, I simply cannot make it extend over the rest of the page. It always ends up displaying the entire .swf file, no mater whether I make half of it transparent or not.
I've tried using several banners, including the Double-Click Ad Kit and some other expample flashes, but for the life of me, and through very extensive googl searching I can't find any clear cut instructions on how to make it extend OVER the rest of the body. I've found some pages that sorta mention how to do it, but I really have had no luck in duplicating it.

I'm trying to sell this metronome: [URL]. I've submitted it to activeDen.com and it has been rejected for 'aesthetic reasons' I noticed when I double click the swf file it opens up in my web browser and it is enlarged to fill the screen. This is bad since I use jpeg images instead of vector art and I do not like the Allow Smoothing option in flash since it blurs the image a little. So is there a way to make my swf file show up correctly?
