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...

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...

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...

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'...

I have been told a few times now, that without the paper, some people won't even look at my design/programming experience. Anyone got any tips on how to get a masters degree in this field? I'd love to do animation, but maybe I need to focus on just the interactivity and layouts and...

In AS 2...(yes I am behind the times)...if you are reading the Help for attachMovie the way I did it may be confusing. At the bottom of the window is the 'See also' section. They have both unload and remove listed down there. I just spent two days learning that they are not interchangible...

Hello, (Been gone from here a while, mostly shame for not creating an FAQ I had suggested. But since this is the best place for answers.) I have a movie clip that is three movie clips deep. I am scrolling that clip with actionscript. Then the movieclip reaches the end...a 'next' button will...

Anyone having problems once this is loaded? Work pushed it out to everyone and I lost the icons for my .swf's and they won't just run when I click on them. "Credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena - T.Roosevelt

I am working on a project to pass a variable from a link on a page that already exists, to a swf file. The old way of doing this will not work for this project, I must avoid the blackbox/click to activate issue. Also, I have multiple links that will each send a different value to the variable...

Hello, I have a movie that the requirements changed on. They want the movie to open up based on what link is pressed. So I need to pass a variable into the movie that can then be evaluated. There are about three different articles on the internet that have NOT helped...even the Adobe site...

Hello, I have been struggling all morning so far...I have to create links that open a new window and load a .swf. I am using document.write to create the popup and load all the code for the .swf. That works fine. But then I try to write a function and the whole thing dies. function...

I am not sure even how to search on this one so after a fruitless effort I'll just post it... I have an array of items. I want to run through the array using 'for (i=0, i < array.length, i++)' . Now on each time[i] I want to say something like... this["bt"+toolsArray[i]].onRollOver =...

Once again I have run into something.... Here is the start of the code: var target = this.onStage.allNotesOnStage.easyArray var randomNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min; var showNote = target[randomNum]; This is an example of what showNote turns out to be...

Hello, I had a function that was working fine...then I tried the next step of adding an interval...now I am getting undefined from my target. Is there a way to trace for the data type so I can see if it is passing a number or a string? Here is the code... function revealNotes (min, max){ var...

(One of these days I'm going to get this without having to beg for help...GAH!!) Ok...got an array of movie clips. Each clip has it's own instance name. I need to loop through the array and hide them all to start. (Later I will show some based on other stuff...) var easyArray:Array = new...

Here is what is most probably a dumb question, but my brain has stopped being able to analyze.... Simple function, and then a button that is supposed to call that function. But the function is being called with out the button being clicked. What is going on? mcBox._visible = false; var...

I am attempting to build a file that has some draggable clips that when a hit test is positive a sound is loaded and played. The problem is that it won't play on the first drag...it plays on second one though...this is getting really frustrating. function whatHit(a, startPosx, startPosy){...

Ok a second shot at this. I need to set up an interval..then I need to use that interval to move a movieclip across the screen to a set x coordinate. I am using the interval because a straight for loop doesn't scroll...it just jumps. Here is the button code: btMove.onRelease = function(){...
