I have a coldfusion flash form. (Unfortunately don't have time to change to html/javascript) In the form I have a formgroup.
I would like to be able to use actionscript to detect if the formgroup is visible.
I've used the code:
if(formgroupid.visible == "true"){
do this
}
However, this does not work. alter the if statement to get the code to work.
This was something I looked at a while back but couldn't figure it out. Now returning to give it another go.Basically I want to find out how to check if a movieclip is visible under a mask.I've got a row of thumbs in a movieclip under a mask. Some are out with the the masked area so I've got some script to make the movieclip scroll the other thumbs into view of the masked area. Is there any code I can apply to the thumbs to check if they are in or not in view of the masked area?
View 1 Repliesi'm trying to use if statements but can't get this thing to work i want to check if another button is visible on release of a button to determine what action to be taken.the 'gotoAndPlay("firstscene",1)' is just there as an outcome, will be changed later. anyway this is the code i've got on the button i'm pressing. blobyellow2 is an instance of a button blobyellow is it because it's an instance that it's not working?

edit: sorry forgot to put what's wrong with the code. it acts as though the statement is correct no matter if it is or isn't.
My question is: Set parentSprite.visible = false will make all children in parentSprite all invisible, right? And is there any way to just make parentSprite itself invisible without effecting it's children?
View 2 RepliesI want to click on an object and make it appear and disappear. As the object is rectangular, I figured putting a white button the same size on a white background on a layer underneath the object would do this, but I can't seem to make it happen.I'm a complete novice, frustrated as I've been trying to achieve this all day and I'm sure it should be pretty simple, but could you give me the idiots guide. I know how to name an instance, make an object, script in actions on a separate layer. I would like to draw the button myself and give it an instance rather than drag it off the button component (as I can't work out how to make the component button white, change its size etc.!)

View 3 RepliesOkay, this should be relatively easy but I'm running into errors. My main character is visible in the beginning of the game (where the main menu is) and because I coded it so that all of the enemies don't spawn unless the main character is visible, the enemies spawn too. As a result, if you stay at the main menu for long enough, the score continues to go up, the health goes down when enemies attack, etc.
View 1 Replieswhen the video reaches 1 minute, a button appears. is there a way to hide the button again if the user uses the seek bar to go back to the 30 second (or any time before 1 minute) point?
View 2 RepliesSee [URL] Now there is a button called Answera, which when clicked should have a symbol (movie clip) called Check appear at the cordinated specified. Check exists in the libary (but does not have an instance name) and no where else on the stage. when I run this code I get: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Check. -> var rightCheck = new Check(); How is it undefinded if it exists in the libary?
View 7 RepliesThe following is my codes. This is still work in progress; so, you will see some functions with empty contents. Plus, this is my first Flex application; please bear with me. This is a quiz application that gets the questions and answers to each questions from a ColdFusion web service. There are three types of questions, True or False, Multiple Choice with single selection, and Multiple Choice with multiple selections. So, based upon the question type, the application would dynamically generate the appropriate amount of radio buttons or check boxes for the users to select. I got these working. The problem that I am having is, I am not sure how to check what the users have actually selected. In some other forums and posts on other web site, it said that I can use event.currentTarget.selectedValue to get the user selection. But when I actually do it, I got a run-time error saying, "Property selectedValue not found on mx.controls.FormItem and there is no default value." My question is, what do I need to do to capture the user selections?

I had a question if there is a way to set the stage as not visible? Meaning the .swf stage is transperent and takes the properties of the bg image of the bg of the page its laid on? I'm trying to steer away from just using flash for the site and using a mixture of flash elements in a css site but I can't seem to get the stage to be transparent.
View 1 RepliesI have six movie clips positioned across the stage and a following row of six movie clips below it. All of them move up the stage and are activated with a separate key press and it works ok first time. The following times going up the stage, the fifth and sixth movie clips are not visible on the first row, but are on the second row. The following code is what I am using for each clip - just repeated and named accordingly.
Code:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, leftbubbleMove);
function leftbubbleMove(e:Event):void {
if (leftbubble_mc.y > - 150) {
trace(leftbubble_mc.y);
leftbubble_mc.y -=2;

obj_mc.visible = false; not working on mac, work good on pc.

View 11 RepliesI have a dynamic text field. I have added a font object in the library, and selected that embedded font for my text field. I am using the font size I embedded. I also opened the Embed window & selected the characters I want.
When I do all of this, the text does not display in the text field. If I select DON'T embed from the embed window, then my text shows up, although, not in the right font.
My movie is 500 by 200 px. However i am loading display object much larger than that and have just a portion of them show. How do i programatically get the visible dimesions? root.stage.width gives me the extended value.
for the sake of good programing practices i dont want to hardcore the values.
I've been doing some simple text fades by keyframing the alpha values. Everything is fine on the stage, but when I publish it I can see a slightly translucent bounding box around the text. It's even visible on text I haven't animated. I've done fades before, but never ran into this problem. [URL]

I have a SWF with a few buttons. The text on the buttons does not show up, as if the alpha is set to zero. This only seems to happen with certain versions of IE in combination with certain versions of Windows.This is a SWF that someone else created. It is placed on the page with Javascript. I do not have the option of recreating this at this point.
