What do you do when you code as always, but some folks report that the mouse cursor does not become a hand to indicate link behavior? Also, how can I make the cursor change to a big arrow? Flash CS3, Mac AS 2
View 11 RepliesLooking to emulate what flash and browsers do for buttons, switch from the cursor to the pointer hand. It seems to happen to everything seen as a button but I need it to do that on all links. This is for an exe. presentation.

View 2 RepliesI'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.

View 2 RepliesI'd like to create a bunch of objects which the viewer can move around and, at any time, click on some text [within that object] to go to an external URL.
I can get objects to be moved around and can create URL request.I don't know how to combine the moveable object with an external link: for example, a black square with some white text - the whole thing can be moved and the white text is a link [to the web page].
I am new to Flash but am slowly teaching myself via [URL] etc I have an image that I have added to a website via a content management system and want to make certain areas of that image into links to other sites. I found this page that does the kind of thing I want to do, but it appears from looking at the source code that the person who has done this has cut the image up into several sections in order to fit it into a table: [URL] Is there a better way to achieve the same kind of effect using Flash by making ares of an image into links and keeping the image as a whole?

View 2 RepliesI've got a dynamic text box on a movie clip that I'm using as a button (for a slider). To be specific, it's a movie clip on the stage that has a MOUSE_DOWN event listener applied to it. There's a circle in the movie clip and a dynamic text box in the movie clip right in the middle of the circle
The text field is set to NOT be selectable, the font is embedded, buttonMode and useHandCursor are set to true. I get a hand cursor when my cursor hits the outside of the circle, but once it hits the text field in the middle, the hand cursor goes away. how I can make the hand cursor stick? I've considered replacing the dynamic text field with a movie clip that has a timeline full of numbers, but that would be giving up.
is there AS code that changes the cursor to an alternate cursor? i'm thinking like director, where the alt cursors are built-in--i would do a mouse.hide and then have a MC follow the cursor around, but this always seems choppy/slow to me-
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to make a custom cursor with restraints (meaning you only see the cursor when you put your mouse in a certain spot, by defining both the max and min of the x & y), that is placed inside a movie clip; then make the movie clip move on the stage when you click certain buttons.

View 9 RepliesI have a problem with a flash image gallery that I created and have now posted to my website.
When the flash movie is viewed on it's own you can click the main images and you are taken to a product page. However when the flash movie is integrated into the website, the links are random at best and for the most part dont work.
Take a look:
1. Standalone flash gallery
2. Embedded in webpage
I thought that the scrolling marquee to the left of the page might be causing a problem but the problem doesn't go away when I remove this.
does anyone know how to make the initial text in an input text box disappear once your cursor changes from the arrow to the type cursor?

View 1 RepliesI am a rank Flash newbie, so maybe I'm missing something obvious. In InDesign or Illustrator, if I want to change every red object to blue, I can go into the color list, edit the red color to the blue values, and every instance of red in the document reflects the edit. I don't have to select each red element and pick the new blue for stroke and/or fill.

View 1 RepliesI'm building a site to showcase various engagement tools for the web. Most of what is involved is new to me. My biggest challenge is finding the right AS3 code to make buttons link to URLs. when I try to duplicate it and change the btn name, in order to make two, or three or four separate links to four unique buttons I get an error about trying to call the same function more than once. This is her code and as I said it works for one button link. Can it be made to work for multiple instances?
inv_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com")); trace("I'm clicked");}
Right now all of my links use the Properties text link feature, which continues to deliver target=blank function despite my having deleted the target and saved and republished way more than once.

Is there a way to change mouse cursor from code?For example i have a text field and when people put mouse cursor on it i want it to show the hand not the standart text cursor.There seems to be many tutorials on how to make custom cursors. However I wanted to know are there any default curors to choose from (for example do i have to create my own zoom in curosor?) and most importantly what clases or functions do that.

I've come to a really strange bug in Flash: There is a swf called Nav.swf which contains on its stage a movieclip "som" which has its own class Som.as.There's an animation on Nav.swf, and when it ends it will call the method StartPlayer() on Som.as.If I run setupButtons() in the init() function, it works fine, I am able to click the button "btPlayPause" and it will trace what's in the function clickPlayPause();
THE PROBLEM: If I leave it as it is on the example below (the setupButtons() function is only called by the startPlayer() method, which is called from Nav.swf a while later after Som is instantiated) it will trace what's in both functions startPlayer() and setupButtons() BUT the button "btPlayPause" won't work! It dosn't get the buttonMode property set to true (cursor does not change to the little hand) and when I click on it it does not run clickPlayPause(), it doesn't trace anything!
The same happens if I call directly the setupButtons() function from the nav.swf. It will trace what's in setupButtons() but the movieclip won't listen to the MouseEvent.I cleaned up the code only to show what matters:
Code:
package br.com.dialetto.nav
{
import flash.display.*;[code]..........
