is there an easy way to set the buttonMode to true to all my buttons in my application?
I thought to create a custom component which extends the s:Button and set there buttonMode to true but I wonder if there is an easier way like with CSS.
have setup loads of buttons using same code below. and the script handles the events??

but when rollOver it changes the whole content to the color >< just want the mc button only:
Basically I have an up and active state, and when the visitor clicks on a button and navigates that section of the site, I want the button to remain highlighted. In the AS2 days I would use gotoAndStop to jump to a frame labeled that area of the site. It worked fine, but using the same technique in AS3 causes an issue with buttons no longer activating as buttons.
Below is a brief example of my simple code. When the gotoAndStop jumps to the new section, I do replace the the up movie clip (such as people_mc in the example below) with another movie clip (such as peopleACTIVE_mc).
In this case if I had four buttons and clicked on the second button, the gotoAndStop would run as expected but the first button would no longer be an active button. If I hit the third button, then the first and second button are no longer active. And so on. What's odd is every button above the button being hit, such as button four, would still be recognized as a button.
stop();
people_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_people);
places_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_places);

If I set the properties of "buttonMode" and "useHandCursor" to true in DataGrid, it does not work as I expect. Only if I move the cursor to the edge between two rows, the hand cursor displayes.
What I expect is that no matter where the cursor is moved, it should always show hand cursor.
The following the itemRenderer:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Label

I have a sprite on which I have added two textfields side by side, horizontally. I have set the buttonmode of sprite = true. But the mouse cursor changes from regular to clickable only when I hover it on the textfields. In the empty area between the two textfields, the cursor still appears regular/normal.
View 1 RepliesI just started learning ActionScript 3.0/Flash CS5 a day or two ago, and I am still very early on with it, however I do have some other web development experience with PHP and some Javascript. I am learning from a book that was written for Flash CS4, but it did not seem like a whole bunch was different. I am now getting "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Main()"
I did several searches for the problem here, but most of the threads referencing this error are far more complex than what I am trying to do, involving multiple, long class files and the timeline. I have been unable to solve my problem after reading through various threads for hours now. Most of the fixes had to do with the timeline, however, all of my GUI is in one frame with no animation.

Its been many years since I've used flash and I was just wondering what the easiest way to do collision detection was now. I know that there was some hit test bounding box stuff present earlier but I don't know the capabilities of flash cs4 and the advances that have been made. Google searches have yielded things like complex pixel-perfect collision detection but not a lot seems to have been written about CS4 yet.
View 3 RepliesIs there an easy way to set a number in a function call?In C you'd just pass the pointer, but since AS3.0 has no pointers, I'm not sure what to do.I suppose I could create a class that wraps the Number to an Object, forcing AS to use the pointer, but that seems a bit clunky.
View 4 RepliesI started out with Swish, then I moved on to Flash8. I have quickly realized that it's a lot more difficult to achieve animation. Probably due to my lack of education with actionscript 2.0 and Flash8. Are there simple shortcuts to being able to do something as simple as making a photo spin around and explode? I haven't explored Flash8 much, but it doesn't seem as easy as Swish was. Of course, Swish seems obsolete compared to more advanced flash programs.
View 2 RepliesWhat's the easiest way to move one item from one spot to another, within the same array?Say I have an array consisting of four movieclips array = [rock, scissors, paper, bomb].Now i want to move the paper from its position as nr 3 (or array[2], and put it in the first positon array[0]. [code]but that just gave me a bunch of unwanted errors then i tried just the unshift(scissors), but now the array contains two instances of the scissors. What to do? Is there really no array.takeOutAndPutBackInFront(scissors)-ish method?

View 6 RepliesI've recently created a game in which the logic and programming all runs perfectly, however the graphics are lackluster. I'm currently having a hard time managing the depth of movieclips on the screen.Basically the game is tile based and each frame of the movieclip holds a different type of tile. All the tiles are 50x50 with the exception of one type of tile which is 60x60 and therein needs to overlap the tiles around it which are 50x50.In AS2 I could of set the depth manually, however I'm told (as is this is my first time dealing with depth in AS3) that I cannot do this anymore. Is there any suggestions on how I can make sure that a tile of one type is automatically set beneath tiles of another type - I've thought about simply coding a function to check this but it somehow seems inefficient (considering larger maps will have a lot of tiles, meaning hundreds of movieclips attached to the stage, each movieclip with multiple frames).
View 2 RepliesI try to save some variable in a game with local Shared Object, that basically should go like this: after every completed level it sets the variable to that number of level (if not higher already); then i have a MC that reacts to that variable (set its frame number to the number in the variable) so you can select already completet levels.
Now i thought, this would be easier, and tried [not allowed link to some tech note from Adobe on local SO], but didn't worked so far.
I'm using movieclips with nested text as buttons and labeling them as so: "work_btn"
the path of the button from the stage is: content_mc.work_btn
I've adding the following code to the stage to no avail:
content_mc.work_btn.buttonMode=true;content_mc.work_btn.useHandCursor = true;
The cursor still shows as the horrid I-shaped text cursor. I'm looking for the hand cursor.
I made a panorama (panorama_mc) with nested movieclips that I'm making behave as buttons. All works well in the panorama file, but not when I load it into a container in a different .fla file. I'm getting Error 1010 on the lines about the buttonMode and also just the EventListeners for the buttons.
Here's the code for the swf I'm loading into the other file:
close_btn.visible=false;
//defines measurements, in pixels
const PANWIDTH:Number=10061
const STAGEWIDTH:Number=650

I have a dynamically created MovieClip that contains both graphics-drawn elements and TextFields. When I set this MC's buttonMode to true the mouse will only change over the graphics-part of the MC although I have set the selectable-attribute of the TextField to false.

I cant get the flash to work on my website. I have also tried using countless versions of the 'AC_RunActiveContent.js' wrapper with this, but it just ends up as a white block, whereas if I just use the following code I get a black block. So I am certain that the path is correct because if I change the src path, it becomes a white block.

I am working on a Results page for my game as well as upgrade page and looking for an easy way to do many textfields. I have a format for my text that takes care of font, colour, and size, but looking for an easy way to do the width and height of textfields to increase all at the same time.I have been informed about a "with" keyword that may work but do not understand how to implement this within my program and essentially want to shorten my results class if possible.
