Ok I have a container movieclip that is my stage. I have multiple secondary clips that are loaded to the stage in two ways. -- Click button -- Passed variables from web page If the secondary clip is loaded from button click within the stage movieclip the AS in that secondary clip runs fine...

Checked the embed just a bit ago. Thinking it may be the use of dynamic text field at this point...as other changes to the button graphic shows. Will test more...ideas are helping me think of areas to look at. "Credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena - T.Roosevelt

Ok...moved that trace all the way down to just before last bracket and I get the right information for each button. Also traced the visibility and it is showing as true. Hmmmm. "Credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena - T.Roosevelt

If I drop a trace right after the text is pulled from the array.... trace (this.buttonContainer.startButtons["bt"+toolsArray[i]].toolText.text) Then I get output in both CS3 and CS4...but I will try in other areas too...unless you have suggested areas you think it is breaking. ps...if i do...

Hello tek'ers...been gone a while but now stuck again with the new CS4 version of Flash. We have an app that we built way back in Flash 8 with AS2. There have been many updates to it using CS3...and everything was working fine. Now when you open source in CS4...there are no labels on the...

Ah...ok. I need to look for height, even though the trace shows 'h'. var moveCursor:Number = transcript_txt.getBounds(this).height This worked to get the height of the rectangle. ps...the tip came from a page I found on Google cache as it no longer exists.... I was converting an older...

You may need to post some code so that people can look to see what you are doing. "Credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena - T.Roosevelt

Ok I have a text field that I will be adding text to as people enter info. That field will grow each time. I also have this cursor animation that I want to place at the end of the text field each time data is added. So I am trying to use getBounds to find the height, which I will use on the y...

Not sure if this will help...I am working on XML myself this week...seems the thing to learn now...huh? My file runs like this: <?xml version="1.0"?> <allphotostuff> <pic> <file>images/image1.gif</file> <text>This is a pic of karate cat</text> </pic> <pic> <file>images/image2.gif</file>...

I am totally confused now. I have NEVER understood listeners and I tried one just now...not working for me. This is the part that doesn't work... listener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) { The problem is that my 'target_mc' is a whole path. '_root.picStage.picHolder.locator'...

I am looking for a bit of input on my next computer upgrade. My current laptop is starting to follow the light and wander off to that obsolescent heap in the sky...so need a new one. Anyone have information on some miminums that I would need for Flash, Fireworks, and Dreamweaver? I am asking...

This happens with the preview, opening the swf, and opening with a browser. I even noticed on the final page when a prototype was inserted. This is annoying. "Credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena - T.Roosevelt

I am just running into the same thing all of a sudden. Been programming in Flash for over 8 years, but now I can see everything off stage. (Have I just never noticed this before? I think I would have.) It has always been my understanding that when a movie clip on stage is expanded and parts...

Ok, I have been searching for this for months now. What are all those parameters in the javascript, and how do I modify them? 'codebase', 'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0', 'width', '115', 'height', '59', 'src', 'exhibit', 'quality', 'high'...

Thanks, I have not been having much luck finding something too close to what I was dreaming of...may have to try something like instructional design and just do professional courses on actionscript and stuff. hmmmmm "Credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena - T.Roosevelt
