If i open .as file (or something else) in Notepad++ and select any variable or some other text, it will highlight all of the occurences of this variable in text of this opened document. And you can quickly see where this variable have assignemnts and so on. But in Flash CS3 i can only use standard Find dialog to search throug opened .as file and it finds only one occurence, then you hit "Find Next" and you've got another. Not so comfortable. So does that feature exist in Flash CS IDE, or something similar? (i can't find that)
I have a Flex3 TextInput control, with white text on a black background. I would like to change the style of highlighted text within the control to use black text on a white background (or something similar). I would love to do this using Flex styles, however I'm comming up empty handed

I will try to explain my problem (I'm swedish...); If you look at the fla posted here and the trace information in the output panel when published, you see what the button is called. What I need is a way to use this info to create a code that makes the button blacked when clicked on and back to grey when some other btn is clicked.
I have 3 buttons(say b1,b2,b3) in my app which are under the controlbaron clicking those buttons it will open new view(components)suppose if button b1 is clicked it should highlight the button b1(bg color change).how to go about this sorry if it is noob question as am new to this
I would like to attach a sound to a .fla file that starts to play when the file is opened. I have created a button and would like to be able to use this button for a visitor to the site to mute the sound. So, I'm trying to accomplish two things, first attach a .wav file, then get the mute button to work.
I'm making a game with Flash CS5.5 and exporting it to a APK file (AIR for Android).The trouble is that the APK file is really just a ZIP file, so you can extract the content and inside there is my game as a regular SWF file. Anyone can upload this to any website and play the game there.
I don't want the SWF file to work unless opened like it should, inside the APK file through Android.Is there any way to know through ActionScript 3 code if the SWF file has been extracted from the APK file and has been opened as a normal SWF file?
I used to have a little text panel (that sat with the color, swatches, and align panels) that I was able to open up and edit text size, color, underline, etc with. It had a much better text editing ability then the properties panel, seeing as the properties panel does not even bother to allow me to underline text or to highlight and edit a single word in a whole text box. Now I don't have it, I can't find the damn thing anywhere, and I want it back. How can I get it?
Firstly, although I've been using Flash on and off for years (since CS3) I don't use it very often so I apologise if my issue seems simplistic.Basically, I used Flash CS3 for a few years to create basic animations for clients, involving simple scrolling text, without any problems.Recently I upgraded to the CS4 Master Suite and then CS5 Master Suite within a couple of days of each other and I now need to use Flash to make a change to an old animation.When I opened the CS3 file it appears as expected and I made the changes to the text (changing a word or two within a line of type).When I right clicked on the type relevant frames within the timeline I noticed that there is now more than one version of tween available, and that classic tween was already selected (I think I better buy a new teach yourself Flash CS5 book!)
Anyway, that was allI needed to do so I initially pressed return and the text scrolled across the stage as expected.But when I clicked on CONTROL / TEST MOVIE / TEST (or cmd+Return on my Mac) the SWF file that appears is static and the text does not scroll at all.If I publish the movie using Actionscript 3 or 2 the resulting SWF file is also totally static. But if I drop the SWF file into the relevant website folder and view it through Dreamweaver's browser view facility it works perfectly and scrolls just as expected.Equally, opening it using the Opera browser works too.
I've tried altering the CS3 file and testing the movie in Flash CS4 and Flash CS5 but the same thing happens.It's a bit time wasting and inefficient wanting to test an animation as a SWF file by double clicking on it and only being shown a static image.Is this a well known problem as I couldn't find any mention of it during my search?
have doing my project in flash cs5.5. But then suddenly my file cannot open it.It appear like this "an error occurred opening file C:....menu.fla" and also "Flash cannot parse this document." "The following JavaScript error(s) occurred:".
I have to browse for and open a file in AIR. I can access the file via the File class:
var file:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("somefile.txt"); var stream:FileStream = new FileStream(); stream.open(file, FileMode.READ);
And I can browse for a file via the FileReference class:
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference(); fileRef.browse(allTypes);
But I cannot seem to get the file from the FileReference object into the File object.
There is no "path" member exposed when debugging the FileReference after opening it
I am currently developing a virtual world with Flash CS 3 and AS 3 in the client side. Everything seems fine until I found that the flash player in the browser stops working when you minimized the browser or open another tab. It makes a huge problem in my virtual world, because when one player moves from location A to location B, and in the middle of the animation process (moving the player from A to B) the user minimized the browser then the animation process (and another process I assumed) is stopped. That would make a different location between the player current location (in the client side) with the server side and another client.
My question is how we keep the flash player keep working although the browser is minimized or another tab is opened? Just like most of facebook games or youtube player (keep playing the video although you are viewing another tab).
I've been involved in a webproject where text will be converted into speech. Then the text should be highlighted word by word as the audio is played in the browser.
Using LoadVars.send() I insert info into a mysql database.I then click a button and the updated db content is shown in a textfield. Problem is that a HTML file is auto-opened in the browser.
When using LoadVars.sendAndLoad() I can still insert info into the database, but I can NOT update the info in the textfield. For some reason the "old" db content is loaded again.Flash and PHP files are in same folder on server.
I am creating just small media player which functions like play, stop, volume slider etc. In this I have to give full path for playing a song. I want to open the window (like window opend at the time of attaching any file to mail).
what is the code needed to create a simple .swf file that once double-clicked on opens and all it has inside it's window is an iframed website (scrolling and resizing are optional), basically a simple flash mini-browser if you will, with no navigation features of any kind just the ability to click inside and maybe refresh the page...

I have used a tool to convert a pdf to a swf but i need to be able to select and hightlight the pdf's contents. How would I do this using flex/action script?
I want to highlight different RANGES of text with different styles. (for instance, make character 1-10 bold, 15-18 italic, etc..)
TextRange looks like the appropriate tool, but when I loop through, and create multiple TextRanges for each area/style, the resulting display only appears to show the last one.
Code: for (var counter:Number=0; counter < testVtt.markUps.length; counter++) { var m:MarkUp=testVtt.markUps[counter];
I wonder how you can get text in input textfields that dissappear when you click in them to write something. Something similar to what's on [URL] I understand how you get the text there with variables but not how you make it dissappear when you highlight them.
