Attempting to add an action to a button using the Behaviors panel, I get a choice on numerous actions but no events. "Event" always is always empy--no "On Release," no anything.
How can I prompt some options in the "Events" part of the Behavior Panel.
I'm referring to the Action Panel, "Press the Add a new item to script button and choose flash.display > MovieClip > Methods > stop."
However, when I click the Add icon, it lists only:
Top Level
Language Elements
adobe.utils
air.net
fl.accessibility
fl.containers
fl.controls
I don't see flash.display anywhere.
I want to capture the text typed by a user with the keyboard and to use it in a program (written in the panel action). For instance, the user types the text "TEXT" and the program automatically catch this text and process it (for instance, the program writes this same text in bold letters; so the text TEXT appears in the result panel).
View 3 RepliesMy action panel windows has resized itself taller than my screen, there is no scrollbar so I cant see what I typed and I cant move the window up to be able to drag the size. Basically its unusable, restarting CS3 is no luck and I cant find any setting preferences for it.

If I wanted to change an action from a button click to a frame-based action, what do I use instead of onPress? The hints from the AS editor are all click-based.
I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
}
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE
}
Everything I have attempted is not working.
I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0)
Insert -> New Symbol
Name - test
Type - button
Export for ActionScript
Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code:
on(release) {
trace("trace");
}
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?
How can I get an action to follow another action when a button is clicked? When a button is clicked, I want the timeline to go to a certain frame and play and when it's done playing, to go to another frame and play. I basically want two actions in one function.

I've created a graphic and have multiple instances of the graphic on the stage. I've recently decided to change the graphic to a movieClip. However, changing the original clip's type to movieClip doesn't apply the change to all instances that I've already placed on the stage; they're still all graphics.
The only way I've been able to fix it is by manually selecting each one and changing their instance behavior from 'graphic' to 'movieclip'. Is there a faster way to do this, be it a command or an actionscript code? Anything that doesn't require me manually changing each instance would be a huge time saver.
how I can make Flash buttons with rollover/rollout behaviors like News Today? (Ex.

View 1 RepliesFor buttons like the MENU or BACK button you can just add a listener for KeyboardEvent and check if the event keyCode is Keyboard.BACK or Keyboard.MENU.However I don't see anything for knowing if the phone's volume buttons were pressed.Is there a way to listen for volume up and volume down keyUp/keyDown events in AIR (ActionScript 3)?
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.

View 1 RepliesI discovered this while doing some programmatic panel resizing:Components in a spark Panel will still be visible when their location is outside the physical Panel boundaries. This does not happen with the mx Panel.unning Flex 4.1 on Windows 7I tried putting mx and spark controls in the spark Panel, and they both appear outside of the boundaries. Note this doesn't happen with the mx Panel. What am I missing to make the spark behave like the mxSample Code:

I want to create a panel docking to a pop up panel in my flex app, like Winamp's playlist window can dock to main window. but I didn't find any useful on docking in flex
I've traced the PopUpManager, but I didn't find any available interfaces or events about popup window's moving, I think it's design shouldn't be so bad.
Does anyone knows of a way to get the output panel in flash or the console panel in flex builder or flash builder, to format the "traces" with html or any thing else? for example:
trace( <b>brett</b> ); and to get that to appear in bold in the console window or the output window?
But I have a simple problem I think.I have a moving panel of images, and I want to be able to change the direction of the panel with the click of a button. Here's what I have so far:
var panelSpeed:Number = 1;
var leftDirection:int = -1;
var rightDirection:int = +1;

I've got a job for an expandable MPU in AS2. When you rollOver the MPU it expands and has a rollOff button covering the whole of the expanded part. But I have also got a Close button on the expanded panel that you have to click to also retract the panel. what the code is to allow you to rollOUT of the expanded panel part but onto the Close button without it retracting before you click on it.
View 1 RepliesI have created a sliding rollover panel so that a user can hover over an invisible button to reveal the panel itself. The panel itself is under a movie clip which basically motion tweens the panel to slide in and out effectively. Then there is the panel_mc inside the movie clip which contains an img. The one panel can slide out but for some reason cannot slide back, even when you rollover the button(popUp_btn)!!!! The compiler errors does not even display this error!!!
Here is the code for the main AS timeline in the site:
stop();
panel_mc_arrangement.panelInner_mc_arrangement.popUp_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,rollFarrange);
function rollFarrange(event:MouseEvent):void{ if(panel_mc_arrangement.currentFrame <<2){
panel_mc_arrangement.play();
}else{ panel_mc_arrangement.gotoAndPlay(20); }}

View 9 RepliesI'm trying to create a simple banner ad where the mouse hovers over the button and a panel shows up over some content of the site.[URL]I have two different .swfs: the container, which is the button and a loaded swf that has the animation that comes up when the button is clicked. The button is only 183 x 40px where as the loaded swf is 183 x 160px.When the loader swf is loaded, it takes the dimensions of the button.
Is there a way to have the loader swf be its original dimensions, so when the mouse hovers over the button, the loader swf covers some of the content on the Web site?Also, how can I change the MouseEvent to load the SWF when the mouse is only over the button and not clicking?

View 5 Replieshow can I apply an action to a button. I am using the Flash CS3 and I know that I can only apply actions to instances but I still can't make it work. It's a very simple file, I have 2 frames and I want a button on the first frame (with the instance name "hdg") that on release goes to frame 2 and stop.
I can't make it work:
my_btn.onRelease = function () {
trace ("onRelease called");
};
I also want the movie to stop on the first frame, so that it does go straight to frame 2 but with the action of the instance there's an error.
