I want to create a XML file that I can change for different languages. It contains the names of the fields that have text and the text that they should be changed to: eg. <lang name="titleLabel" value="This is the app title" />. I can read in the XML lines into an array but I can't figure out how to use the name as an object name:

The scenario is as follows:
I have a movieClip on the stage called "home_btn" and another called "home".
When moving over the home_btn movieClip I want the timeline inside of home to play. I used the slice command to get rid of the _btn which works fine, which is proven by the trace command, but it doesn't seem to be able to enter the timeline of home.
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onOver);
function onOver(event:MouseEvent)
{
var selectedButton:Object;

I was trying to change the linkage of an object from a .fla already created and with some linkages. Here are the steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new ActionScript 3.0 .fla file
2. Create a 2 Symbols (as MovieClip), name it and put some linkage.
3. Save & Close the file.
4. Open the saved file.
5. Try to change the linkage (by elimination or rename) --> YOU CAN'T!
This is a disgusting error, I can't work with these.
I have an object which is converted into a symbol. I double click on this object/symbol and it goes into its own seperate timeline. For my coding purposes I would like to know how to change the registration point of the symbol so it moves along or is addjustable on a symbols its own timeline so a can create animations on an objects timeline without screwing up my codeing because objects don't register when their moved away from the registration point the compiler still thinks that the registration point is where it was previously.
View 8 RepliesWhy is it that I can never change a vector object's color? I mean I would think it'd be as simple as changing the fill color but that does nothing.
And why is it that copying and pasting vector objects from illustrator very inconsistent? Sometimes I get the exact copy, and other times their's three anchor points missing, very much screwing up the look of the object. Also, when I import a vector png image made in photoshop to flash, the fill is hollow at times.
how to get the cursor to change when rolled over an object. btw i have more than one object to apply this to.

and a screenshot of my empty panel where i would like to add some data:
I've been trying to use the object.watch() method. I've never used this before, so I'm assuming I'm pretty far off base here. What I have is a parent movie (_root.) that has a bunch of variables. As the user progresses through the movie/project the variables change based on the user's actions. Within this parent movie there is another movie embedded. In this movie, things change based on the variable changes of the parent movie. So, for instance, say the user gets through frame #20 and hits the "next" button in the parent movie, this triggers a variable change in the parent movie, which then causes the embedded movie to change its color from blue to red (or whatever, action doesn't matter)

I'm creating a CMS(Content Management System) tool so that users can change text and the changes be reflected in a text window in flash . The text that the user enters in the CMS tool will be stored in the database.
In flash I want to parse the string that I get from the database and look for URL strings that start with http "http://www.someurl.com" and parse out that substring.
For example the string could be "Please vist my site at http://www.site.com". I would want to parse out the http://www.site.com
If I find this url string I want to pre-pend the a href tag <a> and append the closing </a> tag to the string so that this link will be clickable from the textfield.
Does flash have an object that deals with Regular Expressions? I've looked at the String object in flash but not sure how to achieve this task

I have a large block of code in frame one of a movie. It executes, then the movie progresses to frame 2 and stops.I then have buttons at frame 2 that change the value in a string variable and send the movie back to frame 1 where it executes the code with the new value and proceeds to stop in frame 2 again.How can I eliminate this use of frame 2?How do I set it up so that I just re-run the code when the variable changes?I assume I can put all my code inside a function that gets called when the variable changes.

clients_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler2);function clickHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void { event.target.root.gotoAndStop(1,"clients");}
