Trying to get a square to change to different shapes when you select a button from the menu, it changes from one size to the next. Can anyone help me find a way to get this done, I am more on the designer side of the board but trying to do the back ground work. It need to change shape back and forth no matter which button is selected, without it looking like there is a hitch in the morphing of the square

View 1 RepliesI'm wondering if anyone has experience morphing an object from one skin/image/etc to another?What I want to do is have an icon morph into another image went it goes into a dragging state. Much like how icons morph into their widgets when you add widgets to the mac dashboard. Any way to get this to work would be helpful, including using the Flex 4.5 sdk or an external library for Actionscript.
View 1 RepliesIm unsure if this is possible, but I'm looking for a way to distort a rectangle to become a curved shape,So far I can do this through using a variety of masks and blends, to create the illusion, but the as the shape isn't really distorted. Thus artifacts in the image are not distorted.

View 1 RepliesI never realized that fl.getDocumentDOM().selection doesn't retain the selection order... <sniff>. I was hoping to build relationships based on the order. I guess I took if for granted that tools like Maya and Max store the selection buffer in order of what was selected. I'm trying to avoid: Select Object, <Press 'Parent' Button>, Select Parent, <Press 'Parent' Button>
View 2 RepliesI am new to Flash and this forum, so please excuse what will hopefully be a simple question.I am using Flash to build an interactive video kiosk for a museum that will be playing on a MacMini. it possible to create buttons or "scripts" that can be controlled with keystrokes? For example when you press "K" an embedded video will start playing. Or if you press "D", you could go back to the main menu? I am trying to make it so you can interact with flash via push-buttons, as opposed to moving a cursor over virtual buttons. Is this possible? would normally do this in DVD Studio Pro, but the sheer number of videos will not work in a single DVD project, so Flash is the only option I can think of. As a DVD it works great because I can use the arrow keys to navigate, and the enter key to choose a selection.

OK. So I have a group of radio buttons on the stage. If the user chooses one of the buttons and hits 'Submit' all is fine. If they fail to make a selection I want to show them an error. Using the code below works fine if this happens initially, but if the user makes a selection and hits 'Submit' the radGroup.selection is now true. So now if they do not make a selection the next time, when they hit 'Submit' it does not catch the error.

View 2 RepliesI am in the process of learning AS 3 and Flash on my own and currently using the Actionscript 3.0 Adobe Classroom in a book CS4 version. Having a problem with the Lesson Adendum if anyone has done it. This lession requires you to create two buttons. They both draw shapes on the stage. When one is clicked, it draws Rectangles on the stage following the mouse movement. When the other is clicked, it draws Ellipses instead. The problem I am having is that it just draws rectangles and not ellipses when the 2nd button is clicked. Would be greatful if someone could tell me what i am doirng wrong. Here is the code that I have so far. Apologize for the commented out code, I left it in to show what I have tried:

View 3 RepliesI am new to Flash and use Flash MX.I saw a site online that I really enjoyed and would like to make a similar one to it, though I'm not sure what is the best way to do it.The site is http:[url]......html I like how the lines and boxes appear and then the buttons. My question is, what is the best way to do this? I've seen lines and boxes appear and move around on a variety of flash sites, so HOW IS IT DONE? Is it better to create the entire document and have certain sections reveal with a mask or is it better to use tweening to make it look like the lines/boxes are getting longer/bigger? Should action script be used in this sort of thing?

I have 6 radio buttons spilt into two groups of 3 and one normal button.The first group of radio buttons correspond to colour and the second to texture.My aim is for the user to be able to chose a colour, then chose a texture by use of the radio buttons, click on the normal button named 'create' which loads a corresponding jpg onto another part of the stage according to the colour & texture selection.I am totally stuck on how to code the buttons so this can happen.I'm sure there is an easy (ish) way for this to happen, but i'm no expert and haven't been able to find it or work it out.I've named each radio button individually, grouped the two sets of radio buttons for colour & texture and named the normal button.

View 1 RepliesI am finding that my flash object is not displaying properly in preview or after export. I basically have a long restaurant menu that is 748 wide by 2039 high full of static text. When I preview/export only the top 3/4 of the text are displayed, the lower end portion is blank. This text field is layered on top of a background jpg, which lies of top of the stage. I've made sure the stage's dimension covers exactly everything. My footer shows up properly, as well as the stage itself. Its just the lower portion of texts that is the problem.I should also mention that the height selection is grayed out with this text field I have. I tried creating a new smaller text field but again, its grayed out.

I have read several posting on this site and others. I can't seem to find the right solution to get my combo box to work. I am publishing for Flash player 10 and AS 2. The final file will be imported into a Articulate/PPT file.
I am simulating a form that my audience needs to fill out. For 2 text fields, I am using a combo box to allow them to select the proper input. If they leave the form screen, I need to save their answers so they do not have to start from the beginning. I am using global variables.
My problem occurs, when I try to populate the combo box using the audience's previously selected response. I have tried using setSelectedIndex. It works to the extent that the choice indicated highlights in the combo box, but the actual selection is not appearing in the text area. Do I need to set Combobox.text = selection?

View 1 RepliesI want to disable (and look disabled) some rows in a spark datagrid. I found this answer to stop selection which is greatIn flex, is there a way to capture and optionally cancel a row selection event in a DataGrid?
But I want in addition to show that the particular row is not selectable. Ideally I want to have some sort of overlay but I am not sure if that is possible. My alternative solution is to change the text color to grey for the unselectable row. Looking at the datagrid renders they all seem to be column based. I looked at skinning potentially (overriding the alternating color property) but this just sets the background property and not the text color.
