I've got an actionscript project (code I inherited) in which the cursor remains an arrow at all times. Even when I set a Sprite's buttonMode, nothing changes.
mySprite.buttonMode = true;
mySprite.useHandCursor = true;
mySprite.mouseChildren = false;
I've searched the project for terms like 'cursor' and the above 3, but I can't find anything.Is there some global setting somewhere that disallows cursor modification?
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? For example, I have an input text box which has the text visible saying "enter your email address here" I want this text to disappear automatically when the user goes to type something there...

In as3, how do you change the cursor to the systems default busy/wait cursor (e.g. the spinning wheel on a mac)?
View 2 Repliesi have a movieclip with some buttons with blur, when you rollover on them they become normal, when you rollout they return blur.
what i would like to do is that when you press on of them it becams normal and remain in that state untill you press on onother button.
Is there a way to do this? maybe something that prevent onRollOut when you pressed the button?

TweenMax.to(this, 0.5, {blurFilter:{blurX:5, blurY:5}});

Using Flash 8, AS 1/2. Here's what I'm trying to do... I've got a slide show sort of thing. Five different scenes. You can navigate scene to scene with simple button navigation. One half of the slide show displays a constant image. The other side displays a different image depending on the scene you're in. Along with each different image, there is a caption for each image. When you click on the caption, text from an external XML file is displayed.
I got that far, and I thought everything was working perfectly. Then I changed scenes. The scenario I'm at right now: Scene 1 loads. I click on the caption. The text from the external XML file displays. Click the navigation button to go to Scene 2. The text from the external XML file that displayed when I clicked Scene 1's caption is displayed. If I click through the rest of the scenes, the text that was displayed when I clicked on Scene 1's caption is displayed throughout. What I need is this: When I click the caption in Scene 1, the text should appear in show_desc. When I go to another scene, there should be no text unless I click on the caption for that scene. I'm not sure how to accomplish this, and I've been trying everything I could think of/could find with no success.
EDIT: I figured out that problem, sort of. The caption is set as a button. It's got an onRelease function, so when it is released, it displays the XML data. I had a function wrapped around the first function, which delayed the XML-display function by one second. It seems that, with that function added in, it was just continually asking for the XML data over and over and over again. The thing is, I do need that delay to occur. What I was using before was:

View 2 RepliesI've created an mc which functions as my map and controls to go with that which allow the map to be moved around and key points navigated to and zoomed in on at varying zoom levels.I'm using scaleX and scaleY to scale the map mc and a list of x and y positions to correctly position the map for each key point. The map mc starts at 1:1 scale ratio with the screen and it's registration point is at 0,0.When I want to go to a certain area I perform this calculation (offsetX and offsetY are the center of the screen and posX and posY are predined offsets on the map):[code]
I now need to implement a zoom in / out function and this is what I'm struggling with. The zoom should use the center of the screen as the reg point for the scale, so I've been trying something along the lines of the following to get the correct x and y position to set after the scale:[code]I know this is wrong but I've shown this to give you an idea of my train of thought, I need to work out what the new x and y will be to ensure that the area that is being zoomed in on, stays in the center of the screen.So in my mind this gets the distance from the current position of the map relative to the center point of the screen (offsetX, offsetY) then scales that distance by the new scale.
I loaded a flv into a uiloader. I have 4 buttons which load different projects in. A quiz, an animation and a video. Works great apart from when you click the buttons either the flv sound remains or if you click the flv button I have multiple instances of the audio. The main file AS3 is

I have a button on screen which is removed with removeChild when a certain timer event fires. However, if my mouse is on top of this button when the timer goes off, the button is removed but the mouse remains active (it's still a little hand cursor) and as soon as you move the mouse at all, the button fires its MOUSE_OUT event.
What I would like to happen is for the button to disappear and if the mouse is above it the mouse will simply go back to an arrow cursor and most importantly the MOUSE_OUT event won't be fired (in my case the event triggers a sound effect).It seems to me that the way to make that happen would be to set my button to null. However I use this button every time the user completes a level so it seems wasteful to null it and rebuild it ever time when i can simply add/remove it.
how do you disable the hand for a button instance so the pointer remains? this is for AS3.
View 7 RepliesI've used a standard skin on an FLVplayback component which loads and plays perfectly. The problem arises when I enter fullscreen mode and then leave it again. Once I've done this, the video remains on the stage irrespective of what frame I'm on. I can even change scenes and the video remains in the middle. I haven't even added the video using actionscript so I don't really understand how it could possibly stay on more than the frame its inserted in!? At the moment I've used no ActionScript to control the video. I apologise if I'm missing something, this is the first time I've dealt with videos.
View 8 RepliesI'm using Flash CS5 and Actionscript 2. I'm created a multi page training document with some pages containing videos. I have a set of XML program generated videos that work great until I use removeMovieClip(); when exiting the page.

Sometimes the video black window appears and then immediately disappears or nothing appears but the sound starts playing.

I'm in the process of building a Flash AS3 navigation for a client's website. The horizontal navigation has five main links, and a secondary navigation will drop down under three of them on rollover (this part isn't complete yet). The rollover and rollout states are animated: on rollover they gradually change color; on rollout they gradually change back to the original color.Well, I've finally gotten the code figured out (my first foray into AS3 after finally being comfortable with some things in AS2!). However, depending on how you move the mouse (i.e., if you move the mouse over the button too quickly), the rollover state remains on rollout and I can't figure out why. Can someone help? I also need to know how to designate an active state when the button is clicked (say, if you clicked on Projects, the Projects button would be highlighted (the rollover state) when you're on that page.The link to the in-progress navigation is located here: http:[url].... And this is the AS:
var homeLink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("../index.htm");

without using alpha 0% in Flash5
this is the problem.
i want to make a button invisible. however, since using alpha 0% will create colordifferences with 16bit colors, I want to use _visible = "0"; (like you would on a MC).
one option is to put a MC inside the button and make that invisible, but obviously you can't without an onClipEvent handler, but if you do so, it doesn't work.
puting the button inside a MC is the second option, and with the _visible command it works... however, it also stops the button from working.
is there a way to get a true invisible button that still remains clickable????

I am making use of a custom cursor on itemRenderers in a List component. The custom cursor works just fine except when I mouse over the Text component which is a child of the itemRenderer at which point I get two cursors, the custom and an iBar one on top of the other.Here's the code:

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.
