hey Jhonte,
you are right to use onDragOver, but you also need to use "trackAsMenu" property.


my_btn.onDragOver = function () {
trace("dragged over");
}
my_btn.trackAsMenu = true;

hey aop_ar,
set the trackAsMenu property for the button to true. And use onDragOver. works perfectly.


my_btn.onDragOver = function () {
trace("dragged over");
}
my_btn.trackAsMenu = true;

Aleister you've probably moved on, but I found out how to fix your problem. Seeing I couldn't find this answer either, I thought I'd post.

if you set:

my_btn.trackAsMenu = true;...

Thanks. They're good options... possibly overkill. I don't do this kinda job often - first one in fact.

I think I may get a junk keyboard and prize out the F4 key!

But then again I'll also have...

Hi,

How do you make an unquitable exe ?

I currently using:
fscommand("trapallkeys", true);

which will stop the ESC key, but won't stop ALT-F4.

does anyone know of a way?

CANNOT figure this one out...

I have "square_mc" on the stage, moving left to right, and rotating (rolling along).

Inside square_mc I have "point_mc", positioned on a corner of the square.
...

try this tutorial

http://www.cbtcafe.com/flash/loadmovie/loadmovie.html

try editing the 'properties' of the image in the Library. Change the compression to "Lossless".

// set your ymax to whatever:
ymax = 100;
// if _y position of myMC is less than ymax:
if (myMC._y < ymax) {
// do something, like:
myMC._y = myMC._y + 2;
}

There's a function called getTimer() - and another called setInterval().

check em out.

I'm guessing your text fields are set to "dynamic text" (in the properties palette) - right?

change them to static text

in flash help, look up loadMovie()

no you don't need XML.
when the random country event occurs, assign the "text" property of the dynamic text field a value.

for example, if you have a dynamic text field on the stage named...

how does this work (or where did you get it from?)

its too hard to tell from what you've posted so far.

there's a couple of errors in what you've been told above - which can throw you off. anyway try the following:

- save your images in the same directory as your swf file.
- name your images...

use btn.onPress and insert your styling options within that,
eg.
btn.onPress = function() {
// change Services text color to red
btnLabel.setTextFormat(rolloverStyle);
}

when you navigate away from the 'news' page you should put a blank keyframe in the layer containing your news movieclip.

OK. Thanks!

It comes with a help section - skim through it - find something that looks interesting then have a crack at it!

thanks for the reply 1stbite, but...

I don't think I've described my problem thoroughly enough. Your solution would work for text based links - but not a jump menu.

Say for example I have the...

I have a clear idea what I want to do... and no idea how to implement it.

I have a template-based HTML site, with a jump menu serving as navigation between pages. (The jump menu is part of the...

to replace the static name of a movie clip with a variable do it this way:

mc_name = "_root.grid.square_mc";
eval(mc_name).gotoAndStop(2);

The "man" symbol must be a movie clip?

Make it instead a graphic that loops.

See if that works.

You have the right idea.

But theoretically each scene has a "close" section - make sure each scene has a unique name for close (eg. "male_close"). Otherwise it may look for the first frame label...
