My issue was resolved here. I will post the class on my blog shortly.

I am trying to create a custom class of my AS3 XML News Ticker. I am getting the error "1120: Access of undefined property" for references to objects which are already on the stage i.e. not...

Thanks Diniden
I had a feeling I needed to declare the data type somewhere.
Works perfectly.

I just can't get this right.
I have two textfields:

inputTxt (INPUT)
statusTxt (DYNAMIC)

I have a button, which when pressed should check whether the characters entered into the input...

Hi ctoomey. You can download the source files for AS3 XML News Ticker v3 from my Lab. I hope it helps you.

I am struggling with this one.
I have a htmlText field in a scroll pane which is populated at runtime via XML.
I have a paragraph which needs to be in 2 columns. It is for specifications of a...

contentMC.addChild(contentText) is what I needed. Thanks.

I thought this would be simple, but it has proven not to be.

I have a Movie Clip on my stage called contentMC.
With ActionScript 2.0 I can create a textfield inside this MC at runtime using:...

Hi

I have a lot of source for converting a Movie Clip to an image at runtime.

Is there a tutorial or source for sending the converted Movie Clip as an attachment, or simply a link to the image...

Hi. I figured this out a while ago. Thought the moderators would have removed it. You can download a pretty useful example from my lab here. Look for "AS2 Fullscreen Flash, Not Scaled, Always...

I'm not sure what you mean by "Live Preview", but a preloader is simply a progress indicator which displays the amount of data loaded into the Flash Player.

Preloaders are more useful with larger...

Hi. You can pick up a free AS3 preloader, and other useful stuff, at my LAB.

Sorry. Left a file out of my ZIP. Please see new attached.

Resolved. Moderators, please remove.

I am struggling with what appears to be the simplest thing.

Please tell me why my highscores.php file doesn’t open with “?playerscore=5413&playername=Rowan” after it.
When tested on my...

_root.swfloader.loadMovie("myswf0.swf", loadedscreen);

The above code means: Load the external movie 'myswf0.swf' into the Movie Clip on the stage which has the instance name 'swfloader'. Give...

I see. Make sure that your capture swf is at 100% scale on the stage. If its instance name is videoSWF, add this code to the timeline:
this.videoSWF._xscale=100;
this.videoSWF._yscale=100;

If...

Try create an array for your countries and pass the array as your country value i.e.

If your array looks like this:
var countries:Array = new Array();
countries[0]="Japan";...

Just put this code on frame 26:
this.gotoAndPlay(25);

If the other layers have Movie Clips on them, you will need to say something like:
MC1.stop();
MC2.stop();
etc.

All I did was center my content in the clip (pic_mc).

Just open pic_mc and realign everything to 0,0 i.e. to the right of and below the center marker.

Here you go. Look at my code and the symbols in the library.

Your code is just written wrong:
attachMovie("3346456456", "pic_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:0, _y:-5})

should read:...

OK. Simplest way is to draw and then copy a solid graphic behind each input field.

To do it with code, use:

instancename.backgroundColor = 0xFF0000;

Using code, the background color will...

Hi

I have created an example file which you can learn from. It should solve your problem.

You must download the ziped version of "Movieclip tweening prototypes 1.2.0" from...

Select the input text field on your stage and change the color in the properties panel.

Hi. Can you please describe what you are assigning this code to i.e. what you are trying to achieve with this code on your stage?
