I'm lost, at school we use CS3 and at home I have CS4. I cannot recall how to create a hidden button. From my previous work it appears that they come from the components, however I just can't see them there on CS4. Or have I got this completely wrong and do I have to create one from scratch.

View 1 RepliesAm I blindly missing a method for creating a hidden file or directory in an AIR / AS3 desktop app? Re-combing the docs, all I see is the File.isHidden read-only property. I know I could do this via NativeProcess and native code, but I'm hoping to avoid creating native code.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on new presentation that has hidden buttons. In the previous presentation, when you hit the tab key it cycled through the hidden buttons by outlining them in red.

View 2 RepliesI have an interactive map that I would like to script so that when a county is clicked, it sends through to a page called results.php this HTML table:
<form name="Merchant Details" action="results.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name= County>
<input type="hidden" name= MerchantType>
So County and MerchantType are fields in a SQL table. The script needs to tell the results.php page that County A and MerchantType B has been sent.
Where A is the name of the county and B is ALL (the default i've chosen for MerchantType)

View 5 RepliesI am having a problem where my buttons on main timeline are working fine. When I create a button within a movieclip layer (a page importeded from Photoshop as a movieclip) the button is not working once I leave. It doesn't show as a working button when I select Enable simple buttons, when I preview or publish as HTML. The thing is, it is a button, it has an instance name, is that weird blue color... and it works fine when I am double clicked into that movieclip layer. I also tried common library buttons and they work fine until I leave that layer as well, also tried it within other layers and creating a new file and doing it... all no success!

View 3 RepliesI'm attempting to unravel a Flash template and there are two Flash movies, Main and Magazine, the second being embedded into the first. The Magazine Flash file contains a menu of links to various pages in the Magazine movie. There are 5 of these links - About, Services, Contact, etc.I've been trying to find the text elements so I can assign new colors, but the only thing that I can find is the first element. Tere is a scene called menutxt which has an area with text for each of the five links but they all have the text "About" in the buttons. I would have expected each button to contain the different link names.o I was assuming that this was a standard

View 4 RepliesI didnt see a place in preferences to keep edges hidden. I have some text that has a dotted line around it. I can hide it with hide edges, but as soon as I select them and let go, the edges come back. maybe their not edges since theyre dotted. maybe its flash telling me somethings not set up correctly? anyone?
View 2 RepliesI tried a search but it keeps saying I failed the No Spam when I didnt get a question - d'oh. Ok, this has probably been covered before, but a lot of research hasn't got me far, so I thought I'd post. I have a single page html site with several links that load up a homebrewed lightbox. The inline content is written out at the bottom of the page and the divs are set to hidden.
When a link is clicked, the light box loads and the correct <div> is set to visible. The flash plays, or is interacted with but when the user has finished, they click an html Close button and the div is hidden again. Obviously the swf is still loaded and running; it could be even mid animation. The more swfs loaded, the more memory that is taken up.
My development machine can handle the 600mb + used up by have a few FF windows open and a couple of copies of the site; but I imagine it will cause problems for users. So I've been looking into externalInterface to fire a command into the swf to close itself down when the close button is clicked, but I can't seem to find anything

View 1 RepliesI have a timeline with several buttons on it - some if these are created at runtime, and some by putting buttons on the page on frame 1 I then have an emptyMC into which I import a swf that COVERS the whole stage. This all works fine - you can't see anything of the underlying material. However, as you "mouse around" it seems that the buttons that are covered are still active - pointer becomes a hand etc. I can disable the buttons using enabled=false. This is quite invloved, and I would have thought that these buttons wouldn't be active - surely they are covered! How is the possible, and is there a neater way to stop these buttons being active.
