Flash :: Event Action On Clicking A Hyperlink From A Textbox?
Feb 17, 2011
I want to be able to link an Action Script event to clicking text within a text box.The only thing I can see is to just create a basic Hyper Link, but not apply any action:I have been messing around for over an hour but just can't see a way to apply actionscript and all the tutorials on the internet seem to target ActionScript 3 or not do exactly what I want.The reason for this is that there is background music to the site and when YouTube is launched, it needs to be muted. I know the code to mute and have done this on custom objects before, but I can't see any way to apply script to a textbox hyperlink.Whilst I would ideally like to do it this way, I am happy to consider any solution resulting in opening a page and muting the site.To be honest, I tried doing a quick switch to AS3, but as there are so many problems that would need addressing, I would rather spend the time converting the site to HTML/Jquery or even Silverlight.

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?

I have a series of editable text areas in which I want to be able to add a variable on the click of a button.
If I click the button the textarea loses focus and so I cant code which textarea I need to add the variable into. Can anyone think of a way of keeping focus on the textbox, inserting the variable and then allowing the user to carry on typing.
I've been playing around with the setFocus function trying to get this to work with no success.
Here is a snippet of my code:
public function addFirstName(myText:string):void{
myText = myText + "<<firstname>>";
}
<mx:TextArea id="txt1" change="text1=txt1.text" text="{text3}" editable="true"/>

}
Not working!

I'm using Flex's Advanced Datagrid for a project and need inline comments, in a similar style to Excel spreadsheet comments.A little visual indicator should indicate if a field is associated with a comment, and on clicking on the element should open or trigger an action for displaying that particular comment.

I want to be able to click on the higlighted area to open a link. However, when I do this in the area on the left, it does the same link for all. What happens is when the link is hovered over, it changes colour, I want to also achieve a onmouse click to open a link. What code do I need and placed where to do that without changeing the current mouseover function of highlighting the sentence in another colour?

The only way I have found so far to capture the browser window close event from actionscript/flash is actually to capture the event in javascript, and then use a javascript/flash data passing from the javascript callback.
Something around those lines:
window.onbeforeunload = clean_up;
function clean_up()
{
var flex = document.${application} || window.${application};

I have a menuBar that looks like this:
<mx:MenuBar id="myMenuBar" labelField="@label" cornerRadius="8" color="black" fillColors="[green, green]" itemClick="menuItemClickHandler(event);"
dataProvider="{menuBarCollection}" change="onTopSelection(event)" />
The XML for my menuBar looks like this:
<menuitem label="Vision">
</menuitem>
<menuitem label="About">
[code]....
As you can see there is Vision and Contact Us but the eventHandler doesn't know when those two are clicked. What is the correct way to implement the eventHandler?

I'm using AS3, loading external text into a text box. Let's say the text box shows 20 lines of text. Is there a way to trigger some kind of action, for example, changing an image on the stage if the user scrolls the text and line 30 appears in the textbox? Kind of like a cue point for scrolling text.

I have five piano key images (converted to movie clip symbols) on the screen, and each play a tone when clicked. I would like to program it so if you clicked the five keys in a specific order, it triggers an event. I suspect I have to use the array command, this is what I have so far:
ActionScript Code:
var noteArray:Array = new Array(note05_mc, note01_mc, note03_mc, note04_mc, note02_mc);
var buttonArray:Array = new Array();

I'm struggling to move from AS2 to AS3 and trying to mimic an old AS2 trick. When the playhead hits a frame on my mc's timeline with this code:
_root.gotoAndPlay("3");
the main/root/parent timeline would go to frame 3. Clean, short, simple. How can I do this in AS3?I've tried this code but it didn't work:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, proceedNow);
function proceedNow(event:Event){
//parent.nextFrame();
parent.gotoAndPlay("3");
}

I often have an function / action that is performed on a mouse event (say, MouseEvent.CLICK) that has to be moved to:
happen inside of an animation (at a given frame label) happen at an event (say, Event.COMPLETE)happen when another item is added to the stage or removed from the stage What is the best OOP way to encapsulate such activities so that I am not constantly rewriting my code?
By the way, I should also mention that this function also being moved from one display object to another, not the just event that it is listening for...

I have a set of 5 text buttons that I want to alter slightly with actionscript. An OnClip event moves the 5 text buttons onto the screen, then each button has a stop action as well as an OnPress/OnRelease that rotates it from black text to blue text and rolls back to black text again. I just need it to be black text to blue and stop when the viewer clicks the link to go to an HTML page.
How would you code it so that the text button rolls from black to blue and stays BLUE for the selected HTML page as long as the user is on it, letting them know where they are in the site's navigation. The sample code from button 1 is below:

I have drawn intersecting lines. The user can click on a region inside the angle formed by the two lines.When the user clicks inside the area, the small region formed by the arc between the two lines showing the angle should change. How can I do that.the region between the intersecting lines is sprite object to dispatch event listener, but the arc is shape object.

I have some button code on frame one. that looks like this:
[AS]on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
mylogin = new LoadVars();
mylogin.password = password;
mylogin.username = username;
[code]....
basically sending and recieving variables from a php page. I want to be able to specify what my textbox on frame 5 says in the onLoad statement. Is this possible?
Currently the only way I have been able to get the text to display is either to use the textbox variable and declare that in the onload statement, or to put textbox.text = mylogin.message; on the actual frame.I doubt there is a way to do it, because the actual textbox hasn't be created yet, but if there were a way, that would be nice.

The script for my timer worked for one button but as soon as I set up the other 2 buttons to do the same, I started having a problem where the rollover action would go after the set amount of time was up but then would repeat itself once after the set amount of time was up again. just to clarify, if it needs it, the reason I don't have a rollout attached to these buttons is because I want the menu to stay out until you leave the menu area
so I have an invisible button called menuin_btn which sits to the right of the menu and covers the rest of the stage where the content will be, so you have to rollover that area for the menu to roll back in. The "rollin" in my code brings the movie clip to frame 16 (the end) where I have a gotoAndStop(1); command to get it back to frame 1 so the rollover can be used again. I've attached a zip with my current flash file and swf and here is what my current script looks like on the main scene:
