Professional :: Can Timeout A Movie If No Cursor Is Present?
Sep 3, 2010
Flash MX (not 2004), Actionscript is pre 2.0 I believe.I have a drop down menu.When I roll over the button, a movie plays (the menu).An invisible button sits around that menu and the button itself, and when rolled over, the movie collapses.My issue was that when I dragged the cursor quickly off of the button, the menu wouldn't close.I got a helpful response from kglad saying to bump my framerate up.I did, and the problem happened less, but was still present.I bumped it all the way up to 120fps and the problem is still present, but the occurance has decreased significantly.So then I got to thinking: Is there a way to have the movie (the drop down menu) timeout and collapse if the pointer isn't present?I've heard of movies timing out if there is no click, but I'm wondering if there's a way to do the same thing when there's no cursor.I guess I could also have the menu collapse if there's no click after a while, but that seems awkward.

I've got a website I made in Flash, and on the main page I'm doing two things: playing an external SWF movie file and changed the cursor to a custom shape. The cursor works, but it won't show up on top of the movie; it keeps going behind it when I try to go over it. How do I fix that?

I tried stopDrag but this merely leaves the movieclip where I executed this code. I want to remove it or at least adjust its position after it's removed as the cursor.

within a few banners that I'm realizing I insert a variable, clickTAG, as a step in the url of the landing page after the click.Because the variable changes, I would like to capture this variable externally to externally store how many times you see a banner and how many times you see another.I like using some language asp, php or javascript to extrapolate outside this value?

so the custom cursor I'm using works on the main timeline of my project. However, there are buttons in the application that load in movie clip pop-up windows and when this happens the cursor stays on the main timeline behind the movie clip resluting in the cursor not being seen. This is the code I'm currently using:

When publishing this FLA, the mac finder gives this message "flash is trying to access files on your external HD. Allow?"When I allow it, all goes well. When I don't allow it or when the external HD is not present, flash cannot embed fonts.I do have the proper fonts on my system and in the library. I don't have these font problems with other FLA files.If I copy all the internal frames and library elements into a new clean FLA, the problem still exists...

I have a flash (.swf) movie on the homepage of a website which runs automatically after been downloaded to browser. However this is creates problems since the swf soon crashes(with message :The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed) and gives error messages like "A script is becoming unresponsive...." Since rest of my site is pure html and js but flash content makes the site very sucking and I want to replace it with a simple better alternate. What options exist for me to replace flash content?

I have created a flash website that looks like this (see below). When you click on any of the menu buttons (home, architecture, etc), the menu bar stays stationary while everything else slides horizontally. The title of the page (black with yellow outer glow) scrolls horizontally as well and stops as you see here to show the next page has "arrived" or loaded. There is no page loading or timeline jumping in Flash. It's all programmed for the menu buttons to trigger the entire site to start moving.
My problem is trying to figure out the best way to show images for the portfolio. Each page will have pics depending on the category, and I am wanting to display them as best as possible. I considered using a Web Gallery made through Bridge, but it makes an HTML file that won't slide like the rest of the site will. I am needing the images to slide as well like the rest. Because of this, the images at some point have to be Movie Clips so the script will move them accordingly.
Is there any way to have the images as MC's, bring them into view, and then somehow make them clickable that starts up LightBox2 or a Bridge-made Web Gallery of those images? Or am I screwed?

I would like to create an AJAX style pop up to present photos from a flash movie. I found a tutorial, but it didn't work for me. I'm trying to trigger it off the gerURL function of a button, but nothing popups. I have verified that a simple link in <a> from the html page the flash movie is on works fine, so it's just the call from flash itself.

I have a strange issue where a dynamic text field will not show a bold version of a font (Gerstner BQ) if the regular version is on the stage in a static text field.Remove the static text field and the dynamic text field displays the bold font correctlyI have created a test FLA to reproduce this and by turning the layer with the static text field on and off (Publish settings -> Flash -> include hidden layers [unchecked]), the issue is quite clearhis issue is so big for me that I have had to abandon a project in CS5 and start again in CS4 just to work around this.

I did an flv, added a Cue point which has an invisible button appear on stage with a navigateTourl code. Works fine on my server but this video had to be uploaded to a Drupal site which I knew nothing about and it is up there now. As I look at the video I see the player is different as well as I get the hand cursor all the way thru the video. if I click the mouse it just stops the video then click again and it resumes. How can I disable this so I get the cursor just for the get url button.

I am a newbie to actionscript 3.0 and need a litlle help that I have not been able to find searching (for two weeks). I would like the cursor to appear and blink in the first text field in a movie clip that gathers information to be sent to a php. The following does not work. stage.focus = textField; textField.setSelection textField.text.length,textF ield.text.length);
And the only other things I find are for custom cursors. I just want the visitor to see the blinking cursor in the firstName_txt input box when the page appearss. Also, if the visitor tabs from one input text field to the other, the blinking cursor appears in the first three input text fields but not in the fourth. Yet, the visitor can enter text in the fourth input text field.

I've been looking everywhere but I can't find the solution to this problem. I made a custom cursor and I want the hotspot not to be in the upper left part of the movie clip but in the place of the movie clip that I choose. So, how do you change the hot spot of a custom cursor? I'm using Flash CS4 AS3. I can't believe no one asked this before.

movie clip's alpha to fade to 0 when the cursor enters the stage, and then when it leaves the stage to blend back up to 100% (or do you say '1'?)So far this is the code and FollowTxt will fade out but not back in:
var myFrame:Frame = new Frame();
var myHelp:Help = new Help();
var myFollowTxt:FollowTxt = new FollowTxt();

I have a project where you click on a movieclip and it creates a new movie on the stage and I do a startdrag on that movie.Rather I would like to, just to test if I could get it to work I figured out the x and y position roughly on one of the movies and was able to get the startdrag to work(YaY!!), however I would like the created movieclip if possible to be created centered(center x and y position of the created movie) on the cursor point.
