-In the case the type is analysis or info (with other tags being alright) the "Default Text" is staying blank, even without a text tag.
-If I purposely malform the option tag, no alert window shows up and none of the other properties in the catch block (optionText,selType, etc.) get set properly
Is there a way to make the user draw the signs "greater than" > and "less than" < with the mouse and after that I can find out which of the signs it is.

View 1 RepliesI am hosting images on Amazon S3 and using them in my Flash application. My application receives signed S3 urls that point to the images in S3. The URL looks something like this (line breaks added for clarity):
[Code]...
The problem here is with the + sign that can occur in the Signature. If I send the + sign as-is, then the browser thinks that it's a space, as it should according to the URL specs. Really, S3 shouldn't use + signs for this reason, but it seems to be something they overlooked. Normally this isn't a problem since you just replace the + sign with a %2B. However, Flash has some default behavior that makes this difficult.
From what I can see, the URLRequest object is setup to always encode URLs as if it was passed through the encodeURI function. I don't see any way to turn this off. Unfortunately, encodeURI doesn't encode + signs, but it does encode % signs.
This means that if I leave the + sign in there then Flash leaves it alone and S3 thinks I have a space in my URL. If I use %2B then Flash turns it into %252B, due to encoding the

I'm sure this is a really basic problem and hope someone can steer me in the right direction.I have moving objects on stage all with a width of exactly 100 pixels. They're part of a collision array. I need to know their radii so I created a variable that looks like this:radius = objectName.width/2;You would think that this would result in 50. However, when I do a trace of their values in an enterFrame loop, I get a range of numbers that looks like this when the objects are standing still:

I want to create a MovieClip button that when the mouse rolls over it, it scales larger and then when the mouse rolls out of it, it scales back to normal size.If i move the mouse cursor over and out of it slowly, the animation is fine, but if enter the mouse over it on one side and out on the other side or jerk my mouse around it acts as if the EventListeners and their respective Tween code has been reversed. I have even seen on occasion the square filling the whole screen.Here's my code:(this is written from memory and not copy pasted from flash, but before you say anything, I do have the proper imports for classes in the code so I wont include them here.

I posted to the flash forum but really looking for feedback from flash, flex, AIR users as well.I'm looking for the forums thoughts and advice on which of Adobe's current technology set (CS5) is best suited for creating small interactive applications/packages by users who would not have any background in coding and very little interest in learning coding.
The idea is that users would know basic drag & drop development and maybe extend it to include some basic scripting to wire up elements of it. The ability to develope applications for a range of access points (website, mobile, desktop) would also an added benefit.The over arching idea would be to let the users create some apps/programmes/packages quickly on any topic they like but not bog them down with coding.Which CS5 technologies would be best for that

We're producing a desktop application that includes html and swf in AS3. We get the following error: Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. The following local application on your computer or network: C:UsersDave%20ZelenkaDesktopworld-source...world.swf is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location: C:UsersDave ZelenkaDesktopworld-sourcesample-htmlsample.html To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings. You must restart the applcation after changing your settings.
So, I know how to resolve this by clicking the settings. But our users won't want to do that. What doesn't make sense is that the swf file isn't pulling anything from the Internet. The world.swf file shouldn't be communicating with sample.html, and not only that, they are located in the same folder.

I'm trying to make a textfield inside a sprite zoom upon mousing over the sprite. I'm instantiating tweens on the x, y, scaleX, and scaleY properties of the sprite. The x and y tweens are needed due to the top left registration. Also, the tweens are added to an array to ensure they finish. Sometimes it works as I intended, but when I mouse over from the bottom right corner, the sprite jumps haphazardly towards the top left and back until I mouse out, instantiating another set of tweens to return the sprite to it's original state. I'm not sure what to do other than using a custom tweening engine such as Tweener. I'm using the built in tweening classes and I'm hoping to find a solution within these parameters.

var loadit2 = new Loader();
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));
signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???

Here's what I've done:Created the slideshow. It works. Created a thumbnail of each picture and made it into a button (btn1, btn2, btn3, btn4) with the same instance names, each on their own layer. Created an Actions layer with the following code:

All my variables and paths test correctly; but, when I test the swf, if I hover over _level0.item_0, _level0.item_2 is the MC that received the actions. As I add more MC's, it's always the last MC that receives the behavior. To clarify though, the _visibility and _alpha values do set themselves for all of the MC's. It's just when a user hovers over _0 and _1 that nothing happens to the clip being hovered and _2 receives the order to execute the tween.
I am developing a simple galaga clone for my site, its at [URL] . You will notice the controls work fine in firefox, opera, safari, chrome, etc. However, in IE, the controls are only triggered if the mouse cursor is hovering directly over the player ship.
The playership object is created in the main document class which passes a reference to the stage to the playership class.
private var ourShip:playerShip = new playerShip(stage, ourHUD);
Which is then added to the stage from within the document class (gameMain)
stage.addChild(ourShip);
The playership class then monitors the mouseX and reacts accordingly. The code for the ship controls which are linked to the enter_frame eventhandler is
Code:
public function controlShip(e:Event):void {
var a1 = stageRef.mouseY - e.target.y;
var b1 = stageRef.mouseX - e.target.x;
var radians1 = Math.atan2(a1,b1);

I have created a flash gallery using the in built template in Flash8, which works fine. The gallery forms part of my gallery page of a separate SWF flash site. I load the gallery using a loder component. Since the gallery navigation works by targeting the root folder, my site gets screwed up. The question is, how do i modify the ActionScript in the gallery.fla file (flash inbuilt template), so that once loaded into the main site, it doesnt target the root timeline, but targets its own timeline i.e.Please see below for the code in the Flash Gallery. PS: I didnt write the code - its inbuilt into the template:
function updateFrame (inc) { // send slides to new frame newFrame = _level1._currentFrame + inc; _level1.gotoAndStop(newFrame);

I just cannot understand why mouseEnabledWhereTransparent does not work on this skin. The Skin this creates is basically a Button with a transparent background and a little triangle to the left side, like so: >ButtonText But the empty space around the Triangle does not receive mouse events. I've tried wrapping another group around the triangle path and I've tried wrapping it into a Graphic Object, also without success. I could create a Rect with 0 alpha below everything, but isn't that exactly what mouseEnabledWhereTransparent should be doing?
