I have a main SWF that loads an external SWF with addChild. the external SWF loads fine but when i click the combobox in the external SWF I get 2 errors:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()

I am new to flash, trying to do some animation character. I have 2 queries
1. What is lock fill; whenever I am trying to fill a color, it shows lock fill....
2. If I am creating a non regular figure like say with pencil, if I draw some part of it & do other part by later; these will be assumed different objects & I am not able to fill the whole figure with a selected color.
I have a scratch card. Basically I'm masking a movie clip with an empty shape. I can draw on that mask and thus my movieclip will become visible. I have also attached the fla.
Now what I would like to achieve is that when you fill a percentage of that mask, let's say 70%, I automatically fill the whole layer so that all of my movieclip becomes visible (as mask is fully filled).
I'm using Flash CS3 and want to create a custom ComboBox. I've followed the steps outlined in "Editing component skins in a new document" (http:/[url]...), but every time I get to the step where I drag the ComboBox Assets folder from the HaloTheme.fla library into my library, if I test movie at that point my combobox has become an unclickable white rectangle with no label, button or anything.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.
How can I validate there's a selected item in a ComboBox before saving? If there's no selected item, how can I set focus on the ComboBox?

Both of my ComboBoxes has the same identifier.I could not change the identifier through the properties tab because it is greyed out.
1. I selected the Rectangle tool, and made sure Object Drawing Mode was not selected.
2. I picked colors for stroke and fill, and drew a rectangle.
3. I clicked the Selection tool, then dragged around the rectangle to select all of it.
4. In the Property Inspector I clicked the fill color icon. I clicked the square with the slash, to designate no fill. The fill disappears.
Everything has worked so far. But now I decide I want a fill color after all. I select the shape again. But clicking the fill color icon in the Property Inspector and the Tool panel has no effect on bringing a fill color back to the shape. I can't figure out how to do that.
Actually, I could restore the original fill color using Undo, or the History Panel. But it seems there must be a way using the Property Inspector.
How the hell do you pull this off? [URL]
Those Flash banner ads that expand to fill the screen when rolled over?
The following are two screenshots of something I'd like to create:
Notice how each 'blank' is a drop-down menu. If a user selects the correct one the text in the drop-down becomes green and a box appears at the bottom that tells them they got it right. As soon as they go to select a new one the box disappears and re-appears with a message saying either they got the next one right or wrong. If they get it wrong it turns red. There is no backend data that needs to be processed; it's just the interaction I want to create.
how I might go about doing this in Flash/ActionScript?
I know how to create the interface itself I believe with the drop-down component but I have no idea how to program this.
Half a year ago I started working on this game. One of the aspects of it involves clicking a point on the screen and a path made of 32x32 squares will be drawn from its current point to the clicked point. Well at the time I jsut needed to do a quick prototype so I did something like this.[code]That worked perfectly then and simply filled the path with that color. However now I want to break away from a solid color and fill the path with 32x32 .png tiles. If it helps to better visualize picture it similar to an RPG world maker or an RTS level editor.It's been a few months since I've looked at actionscript.

View 2 RepliesI am doing a site for my senior project in college and I was wondering what the best way to use a background image in flash is? I'd like the background image to fill the browser all the time, so resizing the browser will resize the background. Basically, is there a way to make the stage size the background? I'd like to be able to shift the background via AS tweening, but I want to make sure that what's on the stage is what's in the browser and can't see beyond that.

View 9 RepliesI'm looking for an AS3 version that dynamically populates this shape and allows for difference in font size to give it some more variety and flavour. I've got some examples of tag clouds but they don't accept a shape as its outer bounds and I've found some that allow for a shape but don't account for dynamic resizing of the text. Even a nudge in the right direction would be all I need and I can go from there.

View 2 RepliesSince there is no actionscript function to set the registration point of a movieclip, I created a movieclip that I want to hold my image in my Project.fla file with a centered registration point I then add the movieclip to the stage in my Project.as file:var holder:Holder = new Holder();addChild(holder);The holder is successfully on the stage, and I now load my external image file that I would like to be inside of my image placeholder:var imageLoader:Loader;imageLoader = new Loader();imageLoader.load(new RLRequest("images/ball1.png"));addChild(imageLoader);What I am now trying to do is insert the imageLoader into my holder so that I can alter it as though the registration point is in the center
View 3 RepliesI've created a colour palette and given each colour a unique number and name (E.g. V123 Plum, V456 Ruby). Also the colour names is being loaded from a mysql database.
When the name of the colour is loaded in to a dynamic box , I want to fill an object in that colour.
var mycol1 = V123 Plum;V123 Plum = "0xFF6600"colorchange.setRGB(mycol1);
var mycol2 = V456 Ruby;
V123 Plum = "0xFFCC00"colorchange.setRGB(mycol2);
So we're sitting here at the studio trying to figure out how to use the pen tool without a stroke. We do most of the work in Illustrator, then paste it in Flash. Unfortunately, some objects sometimes disappear while breaking the object down, which means that we have to do some actual touchup work in Flash.

View 2 RepliesEDIT: I have since solved this problem by simply reworking my MXML-based app and using the SWFLoader component to get the desired effect, without any reloading necessary. This question is therefore no longer an issue for me, but I leave it open for reference.

How can I duplicate MXML's 100% height and width in pure ActionScript? Is it doable? If not, I have a fallback app in pure MXML, but my implementation there involves loading the SWFs every time I want to add or remove any one of them... it's not perfect. So I'd prefer this type of implementation if I can just figure out the sizing issue.
I draw figure in Flsh ID with JSFL methods, for example
// draw rectangle
doc.addNewLine({x:0, y:0}, {x:2000, y:0});
doc.addNewLine({x:2000, y:0}, {x:2000, y:500});[code]....
how can I fill it, because this way doesn't work doc.setFillColor('#0000ff');
I have a case where I can change the contents of an actionscript class which fills the dynamic text fields in a flash movie. The class function is called from the first frame in the movie and fills all visible fields. I need to fill a dynamic text field in the n-th frame (say 100, or so) but when I call
tagline2.htmlText = "hello there";
From the class, I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Kan geen eigenschap of methode benaderen via een verwijzing naar een object dat null is.
Which means as much as
Can't reference an attribute or method of an object that's null
How I can get text into Dynamic Textfields in later frames then the function call?
I am trying to make a timer and I want a circle that is always shown.It starts out green.As time progress' a growing red pie slice begins to occupy more and more of the circle until the entire circle is red.The restrictions are that I can't use sprite, so it would have to be done with UIComponent or some other format. Additionally, I can't use degrafa. The SDK I am using does not support these methodsMy only hold back is that the SDK I am using does not support rotation, but I think I can make this all work.For others that can't use sprite, just substitute UIComponent where sprite is.I am pretty sure rotate is the only way, but is it possible to make it start at the 12 o'clock position without rotate?

I have taken C#, C, and Java programming classes in college and understand some of the actionscript syntax. However, I am having trouble getting the correct code that will keep my same aspect ratio while adjusting to whatever browser size is open. For example, if I have a browser window set to 1440x900. My 766x780 flash website should adjust to 1440x1466 to fill the browser window. Can someone please help me with this. Some code would be nice and instructions on where to put this code specifically. I see in Flash CS4 there is a Actions window to place code in. But in order to make sure that the code is applied to the entire website is there a special place it needs to go.
