I have a movie that uses a combobox to load in external swfs.. but when I choose an option in the combobox and the extern .swf loads, the buttons in that external .swf act strange. Basically you can...

hi there

nm. please delete.

i'm not sure why my original post for this thread was deleted.. or modified, but i was wondering if anyone knew of an answer for my question? i got the combo box working perfectly, however, it the...

Update: Actually, ALL buttons cannot be pressed more than once without moving off and then back on again. Anyone know why this is?

Ahhhh... but I spoke TOO quick. Using the combo box for some reason causes a problem in a subsequent movie that loads beneath it that has buttons.

When I hit the previous and next buttons they...

Ok - I finally got it working! Thank you very much all of you! I have no idea what I was doing wrong yesterday but now it works perfectly! Hopefully this thread will help someone else in the future!

Yes, I am using MX 2004 Professional. Is that good/bad?

I'll try again the same code, but I was wondering if you might be able to explain it to me so I can understand what each line is doing (only...

No, I tried that and when I clicked on something in the combobox i got an actionscript error saying only 'undefined'.

Anything else?

please anyone? it's driving me nuts! i know my actionscript fairly well and i CAN NOT figure this out for some reason...

function changeMovie() {

theResult = comboBox.getSelectedItem().data;

that comes back with an error saying 'cannot load undefined'

Hey Everyone,

I had a flash file that I want to use a combo box for as drop down navigation, and when an item is selected, i want it to load an external .swf into a blank movie clip... I'm pretty...

The problem is, my navigation is 60 frames long because it's a scrolling navigation... so this doesnt really work.

Just so I'm straight... there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY to set nameNav.enabled=false;...

Thanks, but I don't just want to hide the hand, I want to make sure that the buttons are NOT active.

Can I modify that code any to do that?

Ok... unfortunately each button is named the name of the button, but I have not given the buttons instance names. Can I do that? and if I did how would I write the code to do that then?

Also, you...

Well I have 70 buttons in the movieclip I'm looking to disable. Can I disable the entire clip?

Also, can I place this code in the blank movie clip with an on load?

Where would I place that?

The title says it all... I just need to know how to do it... does anyone have a link to a tutorial? I did it one a few years ago but I forget how... I just remember it involved making two disc images...

On my stage I have two movie clips. One is a navigation and the other is a blank movie clip that loads the results of the navigation.

When something in the navigation is clicked the...

If it was Frame 59 it needs to stay stopped.

There is a (stop); in the MC on frame 59, but if you put the mouse over the button again after it's hit 59 it automatically goes back to frame 1 and...

To avoid a ton of confusion, I won't explain my project but I'll say this:

In an if statement (attached to a button) I am checking to see if the current frame in a movie clip is greater than 2......

Ok this probably sounds complicated but I'll try to break it down.

In my Flash Movie, I have used loadMovie to load an external .swf.

From within that external .swf I had movie clips that used...

No... it uses a onrollover to start playing a tween. I'd like to know how to use actionscript to control the _x position. I'm not even sure how the code for the _x should look.
