View 3 RepliesI want to take a static text field, convert it into a button, and use it as a button. I need it static, because I changed orientation, and I do not know how to do that otherwise. The problem is, even though I converted it to a Button symbol, it does not work when I test the movie. It works fine with "Enable simple buttons", but when I test it, the button is not there, no change in mouse cursor, no reaction at all.So this is what I did:
Made text. // static, not selectable, Orientation: vertical left to right, / //rotated; Two filters: Drop Shadow and Glow;
Converted text field to Button - Symbol (scrollBT)
Editing the Button,I put the same content (the static text field) in all four frames: No luck, not working. without the Hit frame filled (which I think doesn't really make a difference): No luck, not working.Tried again, converting the static text field in the button into a Graphic Symbol: No luck, not working.Tried again, and put some differences in the frames for "ON" and "OVER" etc.: No luck, not working.Tried again, duplicating a similar, working button, edited it, and: No luck, not working.
To the button itself and the AS: The button will be a scroll-button for a text field, with different scroll speeds on rollover and press, but nothing else. The code for that I have (I think). It's something like (and please excuse my incorrect syntax here, but I'm typing from memory; still, I use the Script-Assistant and my syntax is apparently correct; it's also working with other buttons):
on {rollOver} {
function (scroll) {
textfieldtxt.scroll - = 1;}[code]....
I'm at the end of my wits. The only difference I can tell from other (working) buttons I did the same way, is that the scrollBt does not do anything except scrolling, while all of the others have frame actions (gotoAndplay etc.) associated with them.
I'm working on a project involving movie clips placed on a motion path. I've already placed two movie clips and it works perfectly. I haven't changed any settings since those two but when I place any other movie clips the EXACT same way the movie clip is "squished" when I place them from the library but the dimensions appear to be the exact same as they should be but it just LOOKS wrong.I've check the individual movie clip in the library and the dimensions are the same as the squished version but those LOOK like they should (non-squished). It's just that when they are placed they get squished horizontally.
View 1 RepliesI have a dozen Flash CS3 documents that I am exporting to Quicktime for placement into Keynote. Some are 1024x768 and others are 1024 x 337. After I exported 1/2 dozen movies or so at the 1024 x 337, I tried to export one at 1024 x 768. Flash decided to squish it down to 1024 x 337. Now all of my movies are being squished to this dimension regardless of the actual dimensions. I have not changed any settings in the export window. This was working properly all week and now it decided to squish the movies.

I need basically a way to convert a group of selected text in movieclips separately with Flash commands. For example, I know to select just text items in the stage is:
var theSelectionArray = fl.getDocumentDOM().selection;
for(var i = 0; i < theSelectionArray.length; i++){
if(theSelectionArray[i].elementType == "text"){
...
}
}
And I know to convert a selection in a movieclip is:
fl.getDocumentDOM().convertToSymbol("movie clip", theName, "top left");
So I need to know the way to loop over the stage and convert each text field in a movieclip.

I have WYSIWYG text editor for flash. Works great. Allows me to edit text, save it as a text file and then load it either back into flash or alternatively into HTML. Problem is that Flash uses the <font> tag which is deprecated in HTML4 and will be removed in HTML5 due to CSS. So given that flash can use CSS I wonder:Is there a way to build a WYSIWYG text editor in Flash that uses CSS ?Has anyone heard of this being done? or even done it them selves I'm after any information at all even if it's just a reason why it won't work or assurance that it will.
