Flash :: Adding Sound To Listbox On Rollover?

Adding To Listbox Dynamically
Hi, i am trying to add items to a list box dynamically. I am using PHP to post variables to flash. The output is like this :-

total=3&name1=jules&name2=harry&name3=phil&

I am trying make a loop that adds the varibles of name1, name2 ect until it reaches the total. When i try to do this it just enters name1, name2 and name3 into the listbox not the actual names? It works if add it like :

List.addItem(name1); The adds the item 'jules' to the listbox.

But wont work if i add it like :

x = 1;
List.addItem("name" add x);

It just adds 'name1' to the listbox?

Very wierd and frustrating! If anyone can help with the 3 lines of code that is needed to make the loop and add the items i would very grateful as i have tried everything!!!

Many thanks in advance.

Help - Listbox Rollover
Hello,
How can I add a rollover command for a listbox to where it will trigger a sound when rolling over each menu item? I figured out how to make it work when rolling over the whole menu, but that's not too good. Is there a way for each choice to trigger a sound on rollover? Here's my current code:

list.addItem("Choice 1", 5);items.setChangeHandler("myHandler");
function myHandler() {
gotoAndStop(list.getSelectedItem().data);
}

And that works good for sending you to another frame depending on what you've clicked. But what about on rollover? Right now the menu doesn't do anything when you rollover -- only when you click.

Thanks!

UI ListBox On RollOver
Any ideas on how to execute a function specific to the contents of an item in a ListBox on RollOver while maintining the Event Handler click functionality.

Basically, I want to call a function when a user rolls over a ListBox item (eg displays the contents of the rolled-over item in a field) and call a function when a user clicks on an item as well.

Seems easy. What am I missing? The answer is worth one American dollar.

Listbox Rollover Colour?

is there a code something like this:

listbox.setStyleProperty("rollover", 0xCC0000);

any help would be great.

[F8] Adding Items To A Listbox Embedded In A Movieclip
Hi all,

The movie clip I'm attaching has a text field (called module) and a listbox (called issuesBox) in it.
On stage I have a button with the following code:

Code:
on(click){
for (i=0;i<=5;i++) {
var newClip:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie("mc", "mc"+i, i,{_x:50,_y:yval});
newClip.module.text="title";
for (j=0;j<=10;j++) {
newClip.issuesBox.addItem("hi");
}
}
}
At runtime I get 5 movie clips with the text field filled with "title," like I hoped for. However, the listbox isn't getting filled 10 times like I thought it would. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Xml-sound-listbox Issues
I get this error when I select an item in my listBox:

PHP Code:

Error opening URL "file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/adam/Desktop/Working%20file%20browse%20%2B%20xml/undefined"

that url is the location of my swf file and xml doc, but not the location of my songs, which are defined in the xml doc, which looks like this:

PHP Code:

<song><songName>Dave Brubek - Take Five.mp3</songName><songLocation>C:Documents and SettingsadamMy DocumentsMy MusicDave Brubek - Take Five.mp3</songLocation></song>

this is what I have in actionscript:

PHP Code:

function getPlaylist() {var playlist:XML = new XML();playlist.ignoreWhite = true;playlist.load("playlist2.xml");playlist.onLoad = function() {//trace("Loaded");var baseNode = this.childNodes;var sLabel, sData;for (i=0; i<baseNode.length; i++) {sLabel = baseNode[i].firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;sData = baseNode[i].firstChild.nextSibling.firstChild.nodeValue;//trace(baseNode[i].firstChild.nextSibling.firstChild.nodeValue);//songlist_lb.addItem({label: sLabel, data: sData});songlist_lb.addItem({label:sData,data:sLabel});}}} myselection = new Object();myselection.change = function(ListEvent){volume = 100;var theSong = songList_lb.getSelectedItem().data;mySongs = new Sound ();mySongs.loadSound (theSong, true);mySongs.setVolume (volume);}songlist_lb.addEventListener("change",myselection);

Any idea's why this is happening ?? Im clueless as to why Im getting this error....

Problem With Adding Url Interfering With Rollover
i have flash 8

Okay to start with I'm not a flash programmer but this guy left me in a lurch and I had to add the url's to the links myself, the problem is that it messes up the rollover action.

Here is the original: http://www.cecvp.com/header5.swf

Here is the version with the urls put on the links: http://www.cecvp.com/header5_mod.swf

There are other things I changed but ignore that, just focus on the behavious of the navigation links (home, about us, etc). In the second version the rollover stopped working.

The process i used to add the url was to double click until i got to symbol 18 at which point i would double click on each link the select it then enter the url where the link symbol is in the properties window. It should also be noted that i got this error when publishing:

Code:
**Error** Symbol=Symbol 18, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 1: Wrong number of parameters; getURL requires between 1 and 3.
getURL();

[CS3] Adding Delay To Content Rollover In CS3
Hello all!
I am creating a site with rollovers showing content rather than pages. I would like to add a two second delay on these rollovers.

Adding A Rollover State To A Movieclip
I have a flash piece with a number of shapes/text that are movieclips, that take you to various sections when clicked. I'd like the text to change color when you roll-over them.

I know you can do this with buttons but I've already done a lot of work and they're movieclips. Can I do that?

Adding Rollover Buttons To Web Pages
what is the syntax for adding a rollover button as an image button in an .aspx page? I have saved the button as a .swf file and put it as the ImageUrl, but since it isn't an image, do I need to save it as an image in flash rather than a button?

Cheers,

Listbox /combobox Help, Linking Combo And Listbox To Call Url W/ Flash 7
Seeking:
I'm want to be able to select an item from a combobox, that will call a list into a listbox, and then be able to click on that link to navigate to a URL.

Purpose:
I have a list of over 80 blog urls from the past several year, a monthly release. I would like to be able to select the year in a combobox which will trigger the 12 url from that year to appear in a listbox, when an item from the listbox is selected I want that url to open.

Adding A Rollover State To Component Scrollbar (MX)

Adding And Order To An Action Of An Advanced Rollover...
Hi,

Influenced by this tutorial, I have some questions...

Is there a way to make it so that, for example, the first rollover+rollout plays frames 2-6+7-10 and then, with the same button, the second rollover+rollout plays frames 11-15+16-19 of a movie clip?

the frame numbers are of course arbitrary but I need help with the actionscript of a way to go about this.

thanks for your time

Adding A Complex Rollover To The Transitions Tutorial
Iv been using the following tutorial http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm to have in and out transitions for my external pages. No problem there, helpful tutorial and everythings loading and unloading fine.

Problem is I want to attach a nice complex rollover to the over state of the buttons. But When i do this it disables the action of both the button (it refuses to load anything) and prevents the rollover (which now just blinks in an erratic manner). They only work when not on top of one another... if the rollover is positioned outside of the hit area of the button. Obviously though i want the rollover effect to take place within the area of the button.

Is there any way around this? If that made any sense at all of course.

Simply Adding A Hand Cursor On RollOver ?
What is the simplest way to make an item show the hand cursor on Roll Over ? I wish it was as simple as this:

or
item.buttonMode = true;

I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering this.

Thanks in advance!

Uble Adding Additional Animation To An Existing Rollover Movie Clip.
Hey all,

I'm using Flash 8. I have a picture of a building which is segmented into floors. Upon rolling over a grouping of floors the user sees either a blue overlay, indicating they can click, or a gray overlay simply describing what the floor is. I already have some actionscript in place and I don't need to alter it, I just added more animation to an existing movieclip rollover, but it's not quite working. On one of the floors that rolls-over gray, I want an additional rollover with some text. So I made a movie clip of the rollover animating out and the type coming in and I just added it to the gray fade in movie clip since there was already onRollover actionscript in place there. However, the rollover kept playing over and over again. So, of course I added a Stop action. Then, the animation didn't work anymore, it just rolled over to the final state of that animation. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do, or what I can do as an alternative? I'll post the actionscript in case that helps. Like I said, the rollover "rolls-over" but either loops (without a Stop action), or rolls over to the final frame in the animation (with a Stop action).

Thanks!

Adding A Sound
Hi folks,
I've just finished building a video conferencing facility using the Influxis FloTools components. The app is on this page while I build the rest of the web site.

However, my query is this. I would like to keep my web page open while I work and for the app to notify me when someone visits my site by playing a sound that is heard by everyone on the site. The reason for this is that I don't have my AV feed running constantly due to the high bandwidth useage, I'd only start the feed when I have a visitor.

I'm just unsure where the AS should go to support this and would like some assistance.

Thanks in advance,
