I create a button(MC) and want to duplicate it and easily change the text inside this button... basically I have an mc that acts as a button so inside the mc I have text that I added that animates on mouse rollover. Now I duplicate this mc in the library go into the mc and want to change the text, and when I do, the text in the original button also changes. This happens because the text is a Tween so it's using the same tween from the library for the new button. Is there a quick way to avoid this? I don't see anyway other than typing in the text again in the new button and animating it again.

You'll find an example at: [URL] The submenu from company or expertise button animates forward when I roll over, backwards when I roll off but not from the last frame. It play's backwards from the frame I roll off.

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?

Does creating a new instance of an Object that uses an identical name to an older instance, delete the previous instance? Or should the original instance be deleted first? The code uses a ridiculous amount of XML vars. Isn't it less memory intensive to parse the XML and save the properties to an Object, and then delete the XML Object, rather than keep the XML Object around and reference it's child nodes directly? Is it better form to break up a huge XML file (>600lines/3200vars) into smaller chunks?

I have a library object (SomethingMC) which extends a custom class (Something). Something, in turn, extends MovieClip.If adding SomethingMC to the stage within Flash CS3 IDE, is it possible for it's super class (Something) to assign an instance name from a class constant (Something.THE_CONSTANT)?
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code].....
The above does not work. It throws Error #2078: The name property of a Timeline-placed object cannot be modified. if the instance is assigned a name in the IDE, and it just doesn't work if no name is assigned in the IDE.

I am new to CS4 and I have an issue with writing text on frames. I am using the text tool to write a paragraph of text which I type in to word to do spell check etc. Then I transfer to Flash and using the text tool paste it in. Now as soon as I let go of the mouse the text disappears but when I click on the text again it reappears why?

When I open Flash CS3 to create something,if the Flash window is not maximized, it disappears off the right side of the screen(s).If I maximize the window using the task bar, it's fine,but it covers up the other resources I need to use. I'm using Vista Business and Flash CS3 with two screens, the extended one on the right.
Right-click the Flash button on the taskbar and select Move.What happened: When I use the arrow keys, nothing appears to happen.When I move the mouse, the arrow pointer comes in from the extreme right side of the screen.When I hold the mouse button down and drag, a four-headed arrow appears at the extreme right, but the Flash window does not appear .Reboot. What happened: Flash is still off the screen unless maximized.
What happened: I found a registry hack that I tried (next item) but it didn't work.Use Regedit to modify settings (after exiting Flash): HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Adobe > Flash 9 > Settings > WindowThe current value is 12639 960 13919 1872.I assume these are X and Y for upper right position and pixel length and width, but I don't know in what order.I tried a couple of values, including 0 0 0 0 and 100 100 100 100.I tried rebooting, verifying that the Window values were the same as those I had set, and ran Flash. What happened: Flash is still off the screen unless maximized. Registry values return to being huge numbers.Repair or uninstall+reinstall Flash Using Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program. What happened:Although several Adobe products are listed, Flash CS3 is not listed, nor are any of the other CS3 suite.Using Start > All Programs > Adobe > Uninstall. The Adobe group doesn't have an Unistall or Install program, not can I find one in C:Program FilesAdobe*What I'm using:
Dell Precision M90 with 4 Gb RAMNvidia Quadro FX 1500M, ForceWare version 156.69 with 256 Mb VRAM + 1406 Mb shared RAM available at the momentVista Business with auto-updatesAt home I use an auxiliary 1280x1024 monitor; at work I use an auximiary 1680x1050 monitor; the problem occurred when I moved from home to work.

I'm following this tutorial on Flash Pro CS4[url]...
I have a button. I pressed CTRL + E in this button, I clicked the 'hit' frame on the 'Text' layer and I created a new frame going in 'Insert > Timeline > frame' as said in the turorial. Like ins the image below.
But after I create a new Frame(F5), as said in the tutorial, the button disappears, like the image below.
( Btw, is this kind of question allowed in SO? This is not exactly a source code question, but in the FAQ it's written that 'software tools commonly used by programmers' questions are also allowed. I don't know if Flash Professional would be a tool commonly used by programmers but I thought wouldn't hurt asking.

The problem is when I add filters to these items some of them disappear in a minute or so.
here is the code:

var BackValue = MovieClip(root).BackZ;
var halfChange = BackValue / 2;

I am making a flash movie, using text moving across the screen in semi transparency, sort of as a background. In the center is a white box, and content within that box. The semi transparent text scrolls back and forth throughout the movie. But when the movie loops back to the beginning , the white box and content within it vanish for a second...then reappear as the movie begins again. I don't want that microsecond vanish to happen but I don't know how to prevent it.

I am trying to switch my doctype to HTML5 to play around with some of the new stuff, but I am running into an issue with flash.
The following code works ONLY when the doctype is set to PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN". When I switch it to just HTML, it works in chrome, doesn't work at all in Firefox, and renders a small crappy looking thing in IE9.
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <!-- PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" -->

I am implementing a charting tool for my project, which is very similar to Google's finance chart but much more tailored-made to meet different requirements. The charting interface is made up of the following core components:
Time selection panel: to change the time span of the chartMeasurement points panel: to select different points of measurementChart area: to display the measurement data of the selected measurement points over the selected time span
For example, the Apartment's power administrator can view the total power consumption in Unit 101 of Building A, in the Pacific Apartment's complex (a made-up name). Similarly, the administrator can also "stack" up charts of multiple measurement points, having an all-in-one view like below:
Only the chart is implemented in Flash/AS3, the other panels are JSP, JavaScript and Dojo. When an user clicks on a measurement point to add a chart to the chart area, the following things happen in order (briefly):
User clicks on a link (say, Total Amps)Dojo event listener attached to the link picks up the mouse click eventThe Dojo event listener calls an AS3 method (addChart) through the External Interface to add a chart to the Flash chart:The Flash chart picks up the method call, adds a chart to the stage and reposition all charts on the stage. Since the stage height is fixed at 600 pixels, each chart added will be fitted into the 600 pixels. Eg, 1 chart on the stage = 600 px/chart, 2 charts = 300 px/chart, 3 charts = 200 px/chart...etc.This is what the Flash chart looks like, when 3 charts have been added, before display the chart on the actually page (see below) Once a chart has been successfully added to the stage, Dojo will stretch the <div> tag that the chart resides so that each chart still "looks" like 400 pixels tall. For example, 3 charts on the stage means each chart is 200 pixels tall, but Dojo will stretch the entire <div> to 1200 pixels, making each chart look like 400 pixelsThe above step is the same concept as resizing the stage When an user adds more than 7 charts, the 8th chart will start have Flash contents disappeared. To be exact, I used firebug to increment the <div> height, and found that when height exceed 2924 (a magic number) pixels, Flash contents start to disappear. See below (the red-boxes indicate the missing contents)The situation gets worse when continue to add charts, eventually half of the bottom chart will disappear.
Some pre-work I have done:I have unit tested this component in standalone Flash movie, with 3 LCD monitors totalling 4000 pixels in height. I produced 10 charts in a single flash movie, and then resized the window from 600px to 4000px, no charts disappear. This happens in all of IE7, IE8, FF3+, and Chrome. Although slightly different manifestation, but they all have contents mysteriously disappeared. This also happens to GOOGLE's finance chart, when you enlarge the chart's <div> to over 10000 pxs (yet another magic number) The funny thing is, however, when a graph has been cut in half, the visible half is still operatable. For example, if the zoom window as been cut in half, I can still move it, zoom in and zoom out.

I have faced a problem in Adobe Flash CS4. I have created a simple text box and set it to a vertical direction, I've rotated it to 90 degrees. It looks good in the FLA file but when I convert to SWF, the text box simply disappears. Other components of my animation remain as I have designed them.

I'm developing an application using Flash CS5. The application itself runs successfully when tested with Ctrl+Enter. The problem being the moment I moved that .swf file from the original directory, the content disappears, and the Flash Player shows ellipsis literally ) instead of the usual content.
When I moved it back to the original directory, however, it works once more. I'm stumped. This didn't happen when I developed a flash content with Flash CS3 a year back. Is there something that I have to do? I've searched with keywords "swf content disappears when moved" but everything is about the file itself being gone, not the content inside it
This is a huge problem. I'm developing for AIR, and once the application is installed, the same thing befalls the application Maybe there's a configuration in my PC that causes this to happen?

I'm trying to draw a gradient in Flash using beginGradientFill and drawRect, but when the rect being drawn is partially outside the bounds of the parent, the gradient isn't drawn at all.
For example, consider the code below:
function testGradient():void {
var g:Graphics = container.graphics;
var width:Number = container.width;
var height:Number = container.height;
[Code] .....
When the rectangle being drawn lies within the bounds of container, everything works: However, if the rectangle lies outside of the bounds of the container, the gradient isn't drawn at all. For example, if the code is changed to:
...
var x:Number = 10;
var y:Number = 10;
...
Then the gradient disappears: Short of doing the math required to draw the box inside the bounds of the parent (and fixing up the gradient so it looks correct), is there any way to deal with this?
