how you display a border around every MovieClip in Flash. I've done it once but I can't seem to find it at all. What happens is that a blue (I think) box is drawn for the bounding box of the movieclip, and it does this for every movieclip automatically, so I don't think it's creating a border manually for every movieclip you add.
In addition this box doesn't rotate with the movieclip, instead it is just a square that completely surrounds the movieclip. If the movieclip rotates, the square just gets bigger or smaller to match.
Would it be possible to make it so that e.g. a textField is visible outside of the swf boundary in some way? I have random dots in a banner that on MouseOver shows a text in a textfield by the mouse pointer, the textField however is too large due to the amount of text and gets cut off by the boundaries of the swf.
I can successfully add a validator on an item in my datagrid, by passing in the particular element in the dataProvider to the validator, but I can't get the red border to show up around the cell if the validation fails. I have stepped through the validator, and confirmed that it is passing back a failure, but I can't figure out why the red error border doesn't show up. I have a feeling its because I am passing the item in my dataProvider as the validator source, rather than the 'cell' item, but I can't find a way to access the cell.

I have a frame_mc that get scaled 400 % onPress with a fusekit tween. Now I'll like to anchor a title_mc to the the top edge of the frame_mc without scaling it. How to do that? onEnterframe in the onPress function?
I am new to flash parameters but from the research I could find so far it seems that this should be fairly simple. I have a flash file that has a movie clip in it. In this movie clip there are two movie clips. What I need to do is show a one movie clip and hide another. I basically only need to set up the reading of the flash parameter code in flash... var imageToShow:String; var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
This is basically what I have... I'm not sure what to go on to next or if this is even correct. Code: if (parameter == "image1") { image.image1.alpha = 1; image.image2.alpha = 0; }
I was looking to make 2 buttons; one that hides a movieclip that is playing on a slide, and one that shows it again. I've heard theres a few ways to do this but none of them are making much sense to me (i previously made some buttons that play, pause and stop a movieclip, and I think I am stuck in the wrong frame of mind to do these next 2 buttons...) How to tackle this task.
Using loadmovie I'm loading an external SWF on a different domain. Any property changes made to a movie clip in the loaded SWF don't show in a broswer. container.emc.loadMovie([URL]); Inside movieA is the movieclip "box". I don't want "box" to be visible so I've used container.emc.box._visible = false; All working fine at this point, when I preview the SWF from Flash (CS3) I see that box isn't visible. When I open the SWF in the browser, movieA is loaded but box is not set to invisible. This happens with all browsers or any publish settings I try.
I have placed 3 movieclips named mcParent, mcChild1, mcChild2 and 1 textbox in flash. child are childrens of parent movie clip. child1 and child2 both are of sizes 300 whereas parent movieclip is 600px, textbox is placed inside child2 movie clip .
I have made the flash to auto resize according to the screen area. Everything works well, but after resize it resizes parent and all childrens and textbox which is correct. The problem is with the correct placement of textbox on mcChild2. I have seen that after resize, mcParent width and scalex both changes but the child clips doesn't changed its sizes even they are stretched but there sizes are not updated due to which I am unable to get the exact location of where to place the textbox.
I know how to draw a rectangle and add it to a DisplayObjectContainer,but do you see a simpler method to directly add a border to a DisplayObject? DisplayObject don't seem to have addChild(), so I would have to add it on the parent, which is not perfect in my opinion...
I'm tryng to add a movieclip trough a class using this code:[code]the trace returns the position like if it was on the stage, but it don't shows up, its just not visible.
I have a very simple player which connects to a shoutcast stream. All it has is a play/stop button, and a volume control, which control a mp3 Playback Component.However, everytime I click anything within the flash movie, a little focus border appears around my flash movie. You know how when you press tab on the keyboard to switch between different elements in a program, such as different buttons, and that little dotted border appears on the button you are on? Well, that happens to me, and I am not sure why or how to get rid of it.
I have a problem when I create flash movies (I have tried Flash slide show maker). The video looks good but when I publish it and view it in Explorer or Firefox it comes with a gray border around it (partly dotted)I have tried to find a solution in different forums but no luck. The gray border is visible even if you havent clicked on the flash movie.

I am trying to make an interactive presentation, where you can push down on different keys and show different layers in my image. [URL]. If you open this .swf and press the "Q,W,E,R,T" keys you can see what I mean. It was working fine with the layers associated with the "Q W E" keys, but once I started adding more, I cannot press and reveal more than 3 layers at once (try pressing different combinations of three keys at once and you should see that not all of the layers appear, but each key works individually).
Here is my AS3: Code: import caurina.transitions.*; mc_aerial.alpha = 0; mc_01.alpha = 0; mc_02.alpha = 0; mc_03.alpha = 0; mc_04.alpha = 0; stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, mc_aerial_KeyDown); function mc_aerial_KeyDown (e:KeyboardEvent):void{ [Code] .....
