Is it possible to add dynamically an button or graphic symbol into some area ?Let's say i have two buttons, and in particular case i would like to display first button in that area and another time i would like to replace that button with second or another graphic.
View 2 RepliesHere's the deal: I am working on a site that provides information for art buyers. Pricing, where to buy and things like that. The page is done in php, mysql, and some jQuery here and there.One of the things they want to implement is a live stream of auctions. What they want is something like this:Where on the left you'd see the stream -instead of the black block- and on the right, the image of the work that is currently being sold, with the artist name, title and price. That's what The image on the left should change as the auction progresses.What I need is to have and option in the admin area on the page, where the administrator can select the image to display. So, to implement this, I would need to:Connect to the database to get the information: pictures, data, etc.
Loop trough the record to get a list. From that list, the user will select the image he wants shown on the webpage.Have the admin area send the image to be displayed to the page, and have the page change it dynamically, without the user having to refresh the page.The first two points are no problem, what I'm not quite sure how to do is the third one. Flash? Some from of Javascript? I leaning towards flash, but anything will do. I'm sure what I'm asking for is nothing that hasn't been done before, but my google-fu has failed me on this one. I don't need copy and paste code, if you could point me to a tutorial on this, or the basics tools I'd need, that's great.
Is there anyway to dynamically change a buttons hit area?
View 10 RepliesI have two backgrounds on different layers, and an object that can be dragged around. What I want to happen is that an area around the object should be transparent so you can see the background behind the first background, and when the object is moved, the transparent area should also move. Kind of like a "see-through" effect.

I have a .jpg graphic in a movieclip on layer two (1024/768). This is used as a background.I have a .jpg scrolling movieclip on layer one. It is a very wide graphic used for displaying a panorama.I would like to be able to create, dynamically using actionscript, a transparent area on the layer two movieclip (create a window) to view the underlying movieclip.I believe this is possible using the Rectangle class in the flash.geom.rectangle but I can't figure out how to attach it to the layer two movieclip or how to make it transparent so shows the underlying scrolling graphic.
View 4 RepliesHow to change working area size? I've the following code but it doesn't work
stage.stageWidth = 200;
stage.stageHeight = 100;
I have a Flash interaction where I exchange the cursor for a hand holding a flashlite mc. The entire stage is black. The cursor drags a mask around that illuminates a small image in another mc on the stage that the user has to find (illuminate).2 problems
1. When the mouse is rolled outside the stage, the custom cursor is still visible.
2. When imported into Captivate 3, and I move outside the stage and over buttons for navigation, the cursor is no longer visible, for the rest of the Captivate movie.
Desired functionality:Custom cursor to be visible only when on the stage area and the normal cursor to be visible outside the stage area. The stage area is 400x330.[code]
I'm having trouble with a custom mouse cursor. In my script I replace the original mouse with a movie clip called hand like so:
Mouse.hide();
hand.x = stage.mouseX;
hand.y = stage.mouseY;
But when I go to click on something it uses the mouse's pointer still. I'd like to be able to drag with any part of my custom cursor(which is larger than a mouse).I've tried making a hit box that detects when the mouse is near the clip but it doesn't work onsistently(sometimes it just clicks like normal).Is there to make the clicking area of the mouse change?

View 2 RepliesI have some lines that I am assigning actions to upon MOUSE_OVER
The problem is that they are relatively small and kind of finicky to get the mouse directly over. When the mouse_over event occurs, I am changing their color to indicate they've been selected.
Is there a way I can change how sensitive they are to the mouse over event (i.e. detect MOUSE_OVER within 10 pixels of each MC or something)?
Here's the code I am using to asign the listeners and then to create a MOUSE_OVER event.

View 1 RepliesI have a movie in which buttons are created dynamically:

But, I want the "hit" area of the buttons to be the same length as linkName, because right now, the button extends way beyond the text, which doesn't look that nice. I've tried both using "autoSize" and creating a movieclip in the hit area
i have a drop down menu am working on and each button tab (although they are not button instances !) when clicked opens up the "drop down" section which you can mouse over to choose another specific button etc - if you mouse out of that drop down area then it pulls back up to the original tab state .. what do i change to the code below to decrease the area that you mouse out of to make the drop down area pull back .....at the moment it at least two inches on the screen below and to the right of boundaries of the drop down box before it pulls up - i want to it pull up as the mouse leaves the boundary box .... hope this makes sense .... there is some part of the actionscipt below that controls this but can work out which bit and how to change it !!! (am guessing the x mouse and y mouse bits - but how to change it ???)

I have this function:
public static function cloneDpObj(target:DisplayObject):Bitmap
{
var duplicate:Bitmap;
[code]....
to clone target displayObject (MovieClip or Sprite) and return Bitmap Object.
It can get bitmap from the target object, but it seem don't get all the area of the image.
By give the width and height of target object, but the target object in design was applied by Glow Effect, so my question can we get the all view of bitmapdata from a displayobject?
I have a movie clip named circle_mc(see the image on the link below) and a mask object(movie clip) which determines visible area of the circle. User can change the portion which is visible (extend the red area and make it red+blue, gray area is invisible). I need to find proportion of visible area to invisible area (red+blue/gray) so that I can calculate angle.
View 1 RepliesI would like to first add the xml to my flash. Fine I can do this.But I have a number of buttons, where when I click say CW1, i get the information from the XML file with a node of CW1. I have all the xml set up fine.As I have about eight different postcode types.
ST, CW, CH, TF, WV, WS, DE, SK, SY, and each of these may have numbers that follow, i.e ST1, ST2, ST3 and so forth.
So I can only assume that the postal area could be the main nodes, and the numbers inside the child nodes, am I right thus far.o how can i load the area of the xml file into my text area on mouse click, pulling the information relating.
However I'd need to be able to draw *only* on the board area (a 450 x 350 pixels area) instead on the whole movie... how to "tweak it?" Here's the fla: [URL]

I've got an Adobe Captivate file which is pulling through an SWF which I have created. I am not sure exactly how the CP file is importing this SWF but it is.I'd like to ensure that this SWF is on the uppermost layer when the file is published as at the moment it is placed further down the order - which leaves it obscured by other elements on screen. Is there any AS3 code like onEnterFrame or something like that in AS3 which would lift it to the highest depth?
