I have been a member here since 2003, please help me!

I am trying to reverse engineer some ActionScript, to get an already compiled SWF game working on my site.

The game is a V3 Arcade game,...

Okay, I figured it out myself. If anyone is interested, the target MUST be in quotes, as in:


on (release) {
getURL("/4666d2330.pdf", "_blank");
}

Okay, this should be easy, but I am having problems...

We are producing an online publication in PDFs, with a fancy Flash navigation menu which should open each PDF in a new window. The code I'm...

Can no one help me with this?

Thanks gparis, I did start off using that work around, but even that becomes unusable once you get past 2200 px wide, everytime I try to move anything I get the invalid positioning error. I really...

Hi,
I am trying to build a site using the navigation style more commonly known as "Barney's menu", (where the pages glide in from the side). Here's what I have so far:
...

For anyone interested, I found a tutorial at Stickman:

(I'm still interested to hear from anyone who has other tutorials or experience...

Maybe you need to be a bit more specific about which part you are having trouble with. I doubt someone is going to build the whole menu for you from scratch, but maybe if you asked for help on the...

Sort of like this: http://www2.petrobras.com.br/minisite/urucu/urucu.html

I'm not sure if I can explain this too clearly, but I'm sure many of you will know what I mean. There is a type of flash site design that is quite popular, where all the pages of the site are in one...

Why can't I add an on(change) handler to my comboBox!?!

This is really driving me mad. I place a comboBox on the stage, select it, give it an instance name, then add the following actionscript:
...

Hello,
I know you can alter the alpha of a movie clip from within actionscript by doing something like the following:


on (rollOver) {
mc._alpha = 50;
}

But is it not possible to do the...

It has to be buttons, not movieclips.

Do buttons not support swapDepths() ??

I have several buttons on the stage, but because they all overlap, I need which even one you mouseover to change it's depth so that it is on top.

I tried doing something like:

on (rollOver) {...

Hi Hum,
Thanks for your input, but I think I need to use buttons, not movieclips. The reason being, my buttons are all iregular shapes and they overlap, so the "hit" area needs to be defined by the...

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can make a button enlarge on mouseover? I basically want to make the buttons "pop" out when you mouseover, and back again when you mouseout, preferably with a fluid...

Can someone please explain why...

...if I create a new button symbol on the stage with the instance name "blankButton", and in it I create a dynamic text field inside that with the instance name...

Hello? Anyone? Don't all answer at once!

What I want to do is take an array of links and create a menu on the fly from it.

Basically, have a simple button, which displays the link text on it, and opens the link URL "onclick". Then create...

I am trying to do something which should be real easy for an advanced ActionScripter, but I could really use a few pointers in the right direction, as I am but a humble n00b.

The first thing is to...

Thanks, that has sort of worked, except that my links don't seem to sit inside the ScrollPane, but in front of it. That is to say they don't seem to be contained within the ScrollPane, they overlap...

Okay, I read through the documentation on scrollPanes and it looks pretty straight forward. The problem is that in order to display my links array within the scrollpane I have to move it off the root...

That is working perfectly! Now my next question, (if you're not fed up with me already :rolleyes: ), is:

I have my list of links in an swf that is 180px wide, and i*12px high, (where 'i' is the...

Thanks! That's brilliant...

Sorry but I'm not really sure what you mean by "movieClip Object". I already have a movieClip symbol with the instance name "myButton", isn't that it? When I right click on it, there isn't any...
