Flash8 :: "deactivate" (?) Button On A Layer Beneath A MC?
Oct 15, 2010
using an older version of flash, but it's what i got... also, not really well-versed on flash - i've always just used enough to get by..i have an illustrated room with a few hot spots spread out in it (yes, you've seen it before a million times)... when you click a hot spot, a window pops up with media that will play in it...i have a work-in-progress here:problem is, when you click the button (in this example, it's the record player) and the window pops up, the record player button is still "hot" (?) under the box...sigh, i wish i knew more about this and could explain it better..

I have some floating window that opens above my page. The problem is that I don't want buttons above to be trigerable. I tried to put an movieclip on bottom layer of floating window and tell him not to show hand cursor, but it looks as if my floating window is transparent. I could still push buttons below and cursor would change into hand. [URL] go to button "ostalo" and click any of galleries. Then go over reed floating window and you'll notice that you can push buttons underneath.

I have a container MovieClip called Drags where I can drag stamps (other MovieClips)--they are added to the Drags container via addChild. I have a second container MovieClip above that one (display order-wise) call Paint that contains a bmp, and some sprites used for adding a layer of paint.
My question is this: I need to be able to click on the Paint layer when I am above a draggable MovieClip and trigger the MouseEvent for the correct object to drag it around, but the item must always remain below the Paint layer.

I'm using Flash 8, and I'm hoping to work on a platforming game. I'm pretty familiar with programming in general, but Flash is a little confusing for me.What I have at the moment kind of works for generic collisions, but my problem is that it works too well. My player symbol collides with absolutely everything, on every layer, even including text.
Right now my file only has two movie clips, Player, and Bounds, and there's an instance of Player named player_1, and an instance of Bounds named Wall.
For collision checking, I used the following if ( _root.Wall._parent.hitTest( ... ) ) { /*do stuff*/ } and this works well enough, I collide with anything, given that I check in the right place. I'm happy with the way that this works, but is there any way I can confine the collisions to the layer the symbol is currently on? I'd like to design the levels, and just draw the foreground graphics on the layer above, and the background graphics on the layer below.
Using trace, _root.Wall._parent returns level0, which I'm going to guess is maybe the scene? I'm assuming collisions aren't really meant to be handled this way, so if I have to totally redo them, I'll understand, but it would be most convenient for me if I can confine the collisions to only a single layer.

I'm trying to set a common task, wich is activate/desactivate interactivity (clickability) of a button. (sometimes clickable, sometimes not). The button is a blue bowl. I use the stopPropagation() of event metod to stop propagation, then my blue bowl is not clickable anymore. (if you erase "stopPropagation()", it becomes clickable) It works.
But I want to change this statut. I've designed a ON/OFF switcher, who set the blue bowl clickability ON/OFF. And it doesn't work. I've tried everything : removeEventListener, an "if" who write "stopPropagation()" or not, but it fails, it stay on the beggining statut. Here's the very simple .fla to show you : [URL] What should be my "ON/OFF switcher" code ?

I am having a problem where my buttons on main timeline are working fine. When I create a button within a movieclip layer (a page importeded from Photoshop as a movieclip) the button is not working once I leave. It doesn't show as a working button when I select Enable simple buttons, when I preview or publish as HTML. The thing is, it is a button, it has an instance name, is that weird blue color... and it works fine when I am double clicked into that movieclip layer. I also tried common library buttons and they work fine until I leave that layer as well, also tried it within other layers and creating a new file and doing it... all no success!

I want to make my SWF be on the very top of the page, but beneath the header. The SWF automatically adjusts its size based on the browser's; I want it to take up as much room as possible at all times while still being able to see everything, which I have.
The problem is 2 things: one, I have something flying in and out (from the top) and you can see it in the white-space around the SWF when it is not in on the stage. Two, the whole vertical alignment thing. I want it to be DIRECTLY under the header, not centered.
I'm using Dreamweaver to make this webpage by the way.... I'm not really sure which end this is- Dreamweaver or Flash...

When I open my actions window, it is automatically sized too far lengthwise. With this being said, I cannot read the last 10-15 lines of my coding. I cannot reach the corner resizing tab since it is at the bottom of the window (window resizing does not work on the top corners) which extends past the bottom of my screen. Does anybody know how I can fix it so that I can resize this window to fit on my screen properly?

Is it possible to disable buttons in a movie clip that is on the root level so that a movie loaded on top of it into level1 doesn't have any hot spots? My file is a map that starts as a movieclip with buttons in level0. There is another movieclip/button that when clicked loads a detail map on top into level1. I would like to have some new buttons in the level1 movie clip but the buttons in level0 are still active and it's confusing to the user. As a workaround, I've created an invisible button covering the entire detail map that doesn't do anything other than change the cursor to the pointing finger.

I'm guessing the answer to my question is no, and the solution lies in the hitTest method. But just to be sure . . . if I create a new movie clip and then drag that movie clip over other movie clips that have MOUSE_OVER listeners is there anyway that those clips will get the mouse over?

How do I determine what objects are underneath a given x or y coordinate on the stage or within a sprite? Preferably, I'd like to be able to do this so that a class that extends Sprite and is a child of the Stage can determine what's underneath a given x coordinate of itself, regardless of position on the stage. This has to be done without user input.
I'm not clear on what methods might make sense for this. The hitTest stuff requires more info than I'm likely to have. Maybe localToGlobal, but to use that, I need to know what the objects are already. There are a finite number of them, so I could have them testing for this all the time, but that doesn't seem right and may not even get me what I'm looking for.

I don't know if this is possible, but can you have a button on one layer play a mc on another layer? I am trying to build a file where when my button is clicked, it will move the x and y axis of a movie clip on the layer below. I'm working in CS4 action script 3.0 (no drop down menu option?)

I am trying to add these two layers (in moogaloop_success.zip) to this template (flashmo_140_business), and I have been struggling to add it for more than week. Trying innumerable google searches to no avail. Layers:[URL]My goal is to add this new Button in say "Our Services" layer as movie_btn and open a new window to vimeo website when that button is pressed (as shown in moogaloop_success.zip).
I changed the wlink symbol in moogaloop_success.zip to movie_btn, but I keep getting errors like, Error 1119: Access of possibly undefined property movie_btn through a reference with static type class. or Error 1009: cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I've got a sprite object that gets a custom shape loaded into it, that gets used as a mask so as to cut out a custom shape from an image that is loaded in with a loader object - The loader(loada) and shape(lines) objects are both children of the sprite object - I've added code to save out the image from beneath the mask but when the save function is called nothing is saved out, and no errors are thrown.[code]

I have a flash file that uses Mouse.hide() and sartDrag() to show a custom cursor. The problem is that when the cursor is above a button or movie clip (via level or layer), it doesn't work... sometimes it flickers a bit, but that's it.
This is the weird part:
When I move the custom curser beneath the button or mc, (via level or layer), it works perfectly.

I am trying to deactivate Flash CS3 on my laptop so that I can install and use it it on my desktop machine. All I can find on this subject is the instruction to select "deactivate" from the "help" menu - but the help menu in my version of Flash CS3 doesn'tcontain this option. Is there another way to deactivate Flash?
The options in my menu are as follows:
- Flash Help
- Help Resources Online
- Whats new in Flash CS3
- Flash exchange
- Manage Extensions...

I have a copy of Adobe Flash CS3 Professional installed on my work desktop. I'm soon going offsite for a couple of months during which period I'd be using my work laptop instead. My laptop does not have Flash CS3 on it, so I was hoping of transferring the license to the laptop. I read somewhere that I need to deactivate the license on my desktop (using Help >> Deactivate license) before uninstalling it. Unfortunately, I don't see that option in the Help menu at all.

I'm looking for an event that tells me when the browser is refreshed, or better to say, when my flash app exits. So I tried
stage.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, onDeactivate);
but its only triggered when closing the debug window and not on refreshing or closing the browser.

I want to temporarily deactivate some movieclips that are used as buttons. Currently I don't keep track of the EventListeners that got added to these buttons. I want to be able to deactivate and reactivate them later.
myMc.mouseEnabled=false;
works, but then they are still select- and clickable using the TAB key on the keyboard.
