View 1 RepliesIn almost all video games when you take damage a number appears above your head the slowly moves up and fades off out of existence. My question is, how would you do this in AS3 reliably with up to say 20-30 of these max occurring on the screen at once?
I know you can do an enter frame event listener on each one and a timer to let it live for a certain time span. The problem is making sure that the listeners are all being destroyed. I am also concerned about having that may enter frame listeners all going at once.
I have a project that I am having the user be directed to a screen on their first visit. At the end of the text that appears it says "Press Enter to Continue" Once they return I am not showing that screen. Problem is nothing happens when you press enter...below is my code
PHP Code:
var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("skipIntro");
//so.data.skipFran = false;
function myOnEnter() {

I have a Label inside a VBox.
My VBox has a width of 100% so when the widow is resized the VBox scales to the size of the window.
I want the Label inside the VBox to scale relevant to the size of the VBox containing it, so for example if the VBox is scaled to a very small size and even height of "0" the label will not be visible.
is there anyway I can do this in ActionScript?
I have tried so far to add a resize listener to the vbox performing math calculations on the label height and font size, which worked to a certain degree, however was jerky and the performance was v-slow when the calculation was performed on many VBox containing Labels simultaneously.
I'm trying to modify the text of a Label component that I already placed on the stage in as3. I'm having trouble getting the text to change though, it just stays the same based on the initial text I typed in. I'd like to eventually have the label contents change dynamically. When I compile the swf, the two labels have the original value I gave them when I put them on the stage, not the startDate and endDate values.
My code looks like:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import fl.controls.Slider;
import fl.events.SliderEvent;
import fl.controls.Label;
public class slider extends MovieClip{
[Code] .....
I'm querying an XML web service and am parsing 3 nodes per the code below. I want to send the resulting value to a label component. When I place the Label component on stage, and name it lowtemp_label, remove the default text value of Label and play the SWF, nothing shows up. How do I ensure that the lowtemp_label gets the returned low temp value?

i am not an action script developer nor flash designer, i just want to have a small action script sample that i will edit a little to make it interact with my javascript code. By the way, i want to have a button and a label on a flash form, when the user clicks on this button the onclick event will call another function 'setText for example' this setText() function will change the label text. So i think the code will be something like this:

I managed to put the button and the label i want just the code i will write to make this work.

View 10 RepliesI have an ArcGIS map created with Flex. The labels created dynamically are the towns on the map. We have some PDF files that have some information about the towns on the map.
Is there a way to make those town labels clickable so that they can display the PDF information on a new page?
I want to make some buttons and use the buttons.fla library. The button is inserted and given an instance name. A second button is inserted (same kind) and given a new instance name. But when I am trying to change the label text in one of my buttons the text is changing on the other button as well. I believed they where separate instances?

I'm having trouble with dynamically assigning text to a dynamically created text field.
[Code]...
I've tried setting up the TextFormat and createTextField as a function that's called on the onRelease handler. I've tried dropping the whole frackin' code in the onRelease function for each button. Neither approach works. I've been digging around on the web, looking for answers, and nothing seems to solve my problem.
I have some text selected in a text areacomponent. I get a callback from another program (externalinterface included) to remove the selection. How do i deselect theselected text and retain the text without selection? I have read onthe .selected, .editable, .setSelected etc, but Im not getting it.This same prob exists with a normal text input type, it doesntdeselect there too.
View 2 RepliesI have an AS3 flash movie and each page is a new frame. On my pages are dynamic scrollable text boxes that I created with the text tool. I would like to be able to make a piece of text a link (ex. click here for prices) so that it will direct the view to another page (label). I cannot figure out how to do so.
View 2 RepliesWhen you select text in a Text or Label or TextArea (or other) control in a Flex application, the selection is shown in white text on a black background. Always.
I have a request to change that — and it seems to be a simple enough thing to want — but I can't find a style (or property) anywhere that permits that. Any ideas out there about how to do this, or reasons why it definitively can't be done?
Is it possible to do a text search within a flash movie? Howcan this be done.
View 2 RepliesFlex's text-editing controls (mx:TextField, mx:TextArea) offer functions for doing "stuff" with the selected text (selectionBeginIndex, selectionEndIndex, setSelection), but the text-displaying controls (mx:Label, mx:Text) don't seem to offer anything of the sort.After some tinkering, I've tried subclassing Label then writing functions which give access to the underlying TextField instance... But even then, setting the selection didn't work![code]So, is there any better way to access/change the text which is selected in mx:Label and mx:Text controls? Are there "better" controls to use?

View 1 RepliesI have a button that uses attachMovie to add a movieclip to the stage. You can add multiple instances of this clip to the stage, which works fine. I also have a feature whereby you can select and move these objects around the stage one by one. I am trying to add a feature whereby you can select more than one object at a time (indicated with a drop shadow - which I have working) and then move them together. This feature would also allow you to rotate the selected objects by 90, leaving the unselected objects where they are. I'm fairly certain that I'll need an array to hold the selected objects, and then use this info to move/transform only the chosen objects, but I can't figure out how to implement this.

View 1 Repliesget something to work. What I'm trying to achieve is this: there's a slideshow that automatically changes pictures every 10 secs (I've used a kirupa tutorial to achieve this). The pictures are loaded from an xml file, which also contains captions for the pictures. What I would like to do is to have the caption fade in and slightly move to the left with each picture change. E.g. picture 1 is displayed, caption 1 fades in, moves to the left and stays there; picture 2 is displayed, caption 2 fades in, moves to the left and stays there, and so on.
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
delay = 10000;
