IDE :: Custom Cursors Don't Work?
Jul 20, 2009
i've seen about making custom cursors are all the same...
Mouse.hide();
cursor_mc.startDrag(true);
that's all good and stuff but you can't use them... or at least i can't...
i'm making an Escape styled game and i need to be able to change my mouse repeatedly depending on what object i click on... but once i've made my custom cursor it no longer acts like a cursor... i was thinking maybe because the real cursor is on top of the custom one... so it's only ever clicking that...
say i need a "hammer" to smash a mirror in my game
i can use this
Mouse.hide();
cursor_mc.gotoAndStop("hammer")
cursor_mc.startDrag(true);
but how do i make it so the mirror doesn't break unless ("hammer") is selected??

Code:
onClipEvent(load)
{
Mouse.hide();
this.startDrag();
}
...for customising the mouse cursor. I have five movie clips, each for the mouse cursor in different states. The first is for when the mouse is moving at anything from static to average speed; the other four are for when the mouse is moved very swiftly from left to right, right to left, up to down, and down to up, respectively. These are the two things I need to ask you:How do you detect when the user moves the cursor very swiftly in the x axis? (and also y)Triggered by fast movement as above, how do you tell the mouse pointer to change to, and play, the corresponding movie clip, before returning to the static state pointer?

I have a dynamic text field which loads html. In the html there are links at various points. In the file I am using a custom cursor whenever the mouse is over the swf. The issue is that despite my setting Mouse.hide(), in Windows (FF and IE) the standard hand cursor shows over the top of my custom cursor when I hover over one of the links.
I know that the htmlText field only supports CSS1, so using any reference to the mouse in the CSS is futile. Additionally, due to the nature of the html going into the text field, I can never rightly guess where a link would physically be to set up some sort of work around. In all of my research, the only references to the problem refer to the Mac FF and Safari having bugs that prevent the hand cursor from being shown (to me this is counter intuitive, it seems that when Mouse.hide() is enacted that none of the system cursors should show, no?).

I have Flash CS5.5 I just uploaded an swf with a few button instances I got the msg that I needed to update my Flash player so I did. After that when I went to test the swf I get no button cursors on any buttons in the swf. The buttons work when I press on them but there is no cursor. If I publish the file locally the cursors are there, I made a few different fla's with test buttons to make sure and they all do the same thing. The publishing settings are set for 10.2 , this seems to have happened once I got the new Flash player 11.3.

How would you go about turning off the hand cursor of a button when a movieclip is set at alpha 0 and then turning the same hand cursor on when alpha is set at 100?

Is there a way to set the priority (CursorManagerPriority.HIGH) of a mouse cursor set via Mouse.cursor = '...';?
Long story short, I've had to resort to using the CursorManager to apply cursors, because setting the priority is crucial for my application due to the HTML control overriding all cursor changes without a high priority. Setting cursors with the cursor manager totally works, but the cursors aren't as fast/response as those rendered at the OS level (as described here).
If there isn't a way, my next question is: is there any way to suppress the cursor changes made by the HTML control? Setting mouseEnabled = false does it... but disables all mouse events on the HTML page, so that doesn't work.
This doesn't work:
setInterval(function():void { Mouse.cursor = 'ibeam'; }, 100);
Setting a cursor with a high priority works, however:
// ibeamCursor is an embedded PNG
CursorManager.setCursor(ibeamCursor, CursorManagerPriority.HIGH, -2, -4);
(this code is used at mx:Application scope)

Here is what I want to do:
I have four movieclips on the stage. Right now I have it set up so that as I click each movieclip, it will follow the mouse around until I click another clip
So on the MC itself I have :
on(release){
this.startDrag(true);
}
This is fine, but what I'd like to do now is for every time I click on the stage with one of these mc's following the mouse; it will grab an mc from the library and put it on the stage where I clicked.
Each time I click it will put a new instance of this clip onto the stage where I clicked.
For each MC that follows the mouse, I want a different mc to be grabbed from the library on click.
Would this be something easily achieved in AS3? (I'm not sure how to do what I did in AS2 in AS3 since I can't script on the MC itself)

I'm having a hell of a time trying to get a custom mask to work on a project I'm creating.
The mask I'm trying to use is applied as a pixel mask on a layer in the photoshop doc I'm working off, but I can't seem to figure out the proper way to get that layer mask imported into flash, to then compile into my .swc and be called from actionscript. (I'm coding in Flex)
Whats the proper workflow for getting a pixel mask imported from photoshop so that when I call:
container.mask = myMask;
It'll show up as the shape I want, and not just a square box the size of my shape?

I have a FLV with two Cue Points that I have created:
1. Music
2. Remote Access
[URL]. So this code works perfect with a componant button but I can't make it work with a normal one. Why? What is so different about them. Why can't I make a normal button and give it the same name "my_button". Why can't I make a custom button work?

I've written a class named preLoad.as to load a jpg into a new loader.
the function is called from my document class, MainClass.as
Everything seems to work fine, the textfield displays the bytes loaded, but then when it reaches 100 nothing happens, I cant see anything on the stage.
MainClass.as

I have a custom class the extends ComboBox. In it I set the textField style to embed fonts and use a custom textFormat. If I put this into a flash file all by itself, it works fine. But as soon as I put it into my actual project, it no longer works. I can't figure out why!
I can't really upload the source, so I was just curious if anyone had ideas as to what I might try to get it to work.
I have created a font symbol in the library for the font I want and exported it. And as I said, it works fine in an empty flash file, just not in my actual project.

I have a Flex application embedded in a Flash application, which was working fine and currently works fine if not embedded. As of last Friday, when embedded the Alerts do not show (no error, just nothing), DateField Calendar dropdowns do not show (null value reference of DateField), and dynamically showing the busy cursor errors (null value reference). My code for the Flex app did not change, and I can't think of any reason outside of Flash Player updates (which I think unlikely) or something has changed in the Flash application that is embedding it.

I am trying to get this dragger to work on the play head of my audio player. I get it to drag but when i let go it jumps back to the place it was before. You may need to change the sound file to get it to work but I have attached all other files needed to get it to work.
var XMLLoaded:XML = new XML();
XMLLoaded.ignoreWhite = true;
var timesLoaded:Number = 0;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("sound_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth);
var sound_mc:Sound = new Sound();

package {

my issue here is if you use this component you will see that the text is bunched up into a very small area. It does not fill the entire width of the linkButton.

So we have a component we have written ourselves that deals with text display and translation between languages, reading translations from a file. Ideally what we would like to do is have this component be compatible with any font we can embed in the main .swf's library. What's the best way to do that?
Currently we are going down the route of having our component have an attribute for the font name, lets say 'Font1'. We drag the component into the .FLA file we want and then add a new font to the library called 'Font1' and set it to the typeface we want. This is proving to be inconsistent and problematic which implies it's not really an ideal way of doing it.
Is there anyway to achieve the feature we want? The key is flexibility, we want to easily support languages (hence the component) but we don't want design to be limited in their font selection. Its not practical to embed a range of fonts in the component for example, as it adds to file size and is restrictive.

I'm creating a custom component (based on ComboBox) and overriding some base methods. Recently I've found it acts weird when I set it's width in percents, rather than a fixed width. It tends to continuously call the commitProperties method and fail in the end. When I set it's width to fixed value - all works like a charm. What am I missing to implement? Here's some code ..
override protected function commitProperties():void {
super.commitProperties();
//some stuff ...

I've had an issue with using Facebook's Share feature.
The user experience on the shared content below is just completely unclear (even when I tested some clarified language: e.g. "click here"). Users simply don't know what to do: they often either click "Like," or they comment with something along the lines of "I support you."
According to the documentation, it is possible to share Flash content in these posts. I'm hoping I can create a "Support" button as an SWF button.
Is it possible to dynamically create such an SWF with a custom *href? Will my use case work on Facebook?

I am trying to use the Flash + Set the browser to a desktop agent on the Galaxy Tab.
mWebview.getSettings().setUserAgentString("Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.11) Gecko/20101019 Firefox/3.6.11");
mWebview.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
So the issues is, when the UserAgentString param is enabled, flash player wont load as many websites like Iplayer don't recognise the browser in the WebView.
This may be a bug in the Samsung browser. Anyone have any desktop agents that the WebView will accept whilst enabling flash?

How do variables true/false custom variables work in flash?
For example, what I want to do is create a simple true=false variable that I can call on an if statement later.
For example:
Code:
Var1 = true;
if (!Var1)
{
[Code]....
I noticed that neither the "Var1 = true;" part or the if(!Var1) part worked in flash.
