Re-enable A Label Componenet? Font Color Not Changing
I have a number of Label Components used in a form I'm building. As soon as it loads I have a few of the Labels and their respective fields disabled until a correct username is input.

The code is working fine, only, the Label Components text color does not return to black once it's re-enabled. (.enabled = true);

Does anyone know why this is?

I have created a new CSSStyleDeclaration to use an embeded font but the font and size are the only things declared in it. Would that have something to do with it?

Hi all.

Using MX Pro 2004 can the UI ScrollBar component be set to display the scrollbar only when the text will not fit in the defined area? I am currently using this on dynmaic text box loaded from a text file.

Thanks for any assistance. By the way, have been perusing these forums for a couple of months and there is a wealth of info here and I am very appreciative.

MenuBar Componenet MX2004
I am using code from this site http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000062.cfm
to create a menu. I have created the menu dynamically. The first menu works fine, but no other menus or submenus after that. I understand there is a generic listener for the other and submenus, but I do not know how to code it it get it do loadMovies, etc.

This was the generic code listener.

// A generic listener used for the edit, view
//and help menus (and their submenus)
change = function(eventObj : Object) : Void {
selected_ta.text = "Dumping eventObj... ";

for (var i in eventObj) {
selected_ta.text += newline + "eventObj[" + i + "] = " + eventObj[i];
}
}

// register the listeners with the separate menus
file_menu.addEventListener("change", fileListener);
edit_menu.addEventListener("change", this);
view_menu.addEventListener("change", this);
help_menu.addEventListener("change", this);

Do I add a switch case satatement and can someone provide me with an example?

Loader Componenet - AutoScale
I've found the loader component handy in loading JPEGs and scaling them to the specified size. However, I've found it a little annoying that when the image is loaded, sometimes you can see the image in it's original size for a fraction of a second before it's resized to fit the loader. Is there any way to avoid this -- such as the loader only being visible after the image is resized?

MouseUp And MouseDown Events In TileList Componenet In AS 3.0
Hi Guys
I am trying to implement drag and drop from the tile list component to the main stage. I would be successful in loading dynamic videos in the tileList component and double clicking on any video in the tile list, will open the main video on the main stage( Code is attached). The main video is loaded in the UILoader. How ever I have to implement the same functionality with the drag and drop of the video thumbnails. The user should be able to drag any thumbnail and drop on the main stage which will do the same thing when he double clicks on the thumbnail( the difference is in drag-drop case Video(UILoader) will be placed wherever user left his mouse). I am not sure in AS 3.0 how will i implement drag and drop using MOUSE UP and MOUSE DOWN in the tilelist component . Anyone has any idea, please help me out
Thanks
Anuj

/CODE FOR DOUBLE CLICK
myTileList.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLIC K,OpenVideoOnDoubleClicking);

//Double Clicking of thumbnail
function OpenVideoOnDoubleClicking(event:MouseEvent):void
{
TileTrack=event.currentTarget;
TileIndex=TileTrack.selectedIndex;
CreateUILoaderObject(TileIndex); //This function will creae UILoader to the main stage by tracking the index of TileList
}

Can any one help me .... for this issue

UI Scrollbar Componenet And Loading Dynamic Text
Hey folks - I'm trying to use the UI scrollbar component with some dynamic text fields a site I'm working on. You can view the site at www.rescuedawnthetruth.com

As you can see, the scrollbars aren't functional unless you go to the page for a second time. I've heard that components load prior to everything else in the .swf. So I'm guessing they don't appear the first time you view the page because the .txt file hasn't loaded in the dynamic text field yet, and player assumes there isn't enough text to require scrolling.

How can I load the dynamic text fields BEFORE the scrollbar so it works properly the first time? Am I even right in theorizing why they aren't working?

To load the text I'm using this ActionScript on the frame the dynamic text field resides:

loadVariables("openingStatement.txt", this);

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

S.O.S. (random Pick)
i am trying to use a random code that picks between MC1 and MC 2 at random intervals but NEVER picks the two together. The way i set it up is:
i have two main movie clips on the scene ("mainMC and engine")
One clip is the engine with the actionscript, and the second contains the two random MCs. ("MC1 and MC2")
The main movie clip designed as an engine has 3 actionscript frames in it.
• The first frame within this engine MC has the script:
seconds_low = 2;
seconds_high = 8;
rand = Math.round(Math.random()*seconds_high)+seconds_low ;
start_time = getTimer()/1000; move2 = math.round(math.random());

Pick It Up And Shake It
Hi, I've got a bit of a problem and was hoping if someone could point me in the right direction with this.

Basically, I'm looking to suss out a good way to pick up objects (all affected by a main gravity that will kepp them grounded), but when you pick up an object rather than the simple stuff I'm trying to get it so that the user can shake an object. By that I mean you can shake it from side to side, up down, any angle and the object will swing with the motion of the mouse.

If you find it hard to visualise what i mean, pretend the mouse is the spring and swinging it will cause the object to move in the direction until it springs back into place when the mouse is still.

Any ideas?

I Want The Users To Pick Music
how do you control MC that is in a different scene with a button

Button Pick Area
I'm attempting to create a button that will display text when hovered over. The text will be away from the button in an entirely different area of the stage. I can get it to do this easily enough, but it makes the button "pick area" as big as the button and the text box combined. I want the button to only be "pickable" over the button itself.

What I'm doing now is creating a graphic, converting it to a button, then editing the button, inserting the text, and then converting the text to a movie (for fade in). The button works exactly the way I want it to, but it's pickable everywhere within the limits of the button AND the text movie.

Suggestions?

Pick Random Value In Array And...
Hello

How do I make a random choice in an array, and when a certain object is picked, the next time it can't be picked, only after all the objects in the array have beem picked. For example:

Code:
cities = new Array();
cities = ["New York", "London", "Rio de Janeiro"];

Say that in the first time, the function randomly picks index number 1 ("London"). In the second time, it can only pick either indexes 0 or 2. If it randomly picks 0 ("New York"), the next time it can only pick index 2... when it finally picks index 2, the function sees that all the possible indexes have already been picked, then it starts over, meaning that in the fourth time you can pick any of the three indexes.

I have tried to do this using loops, using length, splice, slice, everything, put I think I am too slow to figure out the problem! Please help meeeeeeee!!! :confuse:

Best regards
Daniel

thanks for reading.

Pick Your Brains Guys
Hi guys, I'm currently trying to find a few examples that i can take apart of a xml loaded simple database in flash. I'm adding on a reviews section to an artists website but haven't worked with xml before. I'm hoping to create a menu that when people click on a particular review it opens so they can read the whole thing. It doesn't need to be too complex but i need to see the actionscript to take it apart.

Some AS3 Theory, Let Me Pick Your Brains
Hi,

I posted the same question on another forum elsewhere but i'm hoping to cover a little more ground, so I'm hoping you guys will allow me to pick your brains a little with a few questions. I don't need any concrete coding examples, i just want to be pushed in the right direction so that i can figure it out myself and learn in the process since my OOP isn't that great yet.

I built a XML slideshow that loads in text and a voiceover to accompany a photo. Now my boss wants me to extend on this and add several features. Now i find that i went about programming my slideshow poorly.

Features they want added:

Video Support (FLV)
Ken Burns Effect applied to photo's (think slow tweens)
a Control Panel (stop, pause, play, auto play, seek bar)

Now, my question is, how do i go about to program this properly so that they interact with each other properly. As it is now, i made a seekbar component and a music factory component to manage those two parts but i fail to make them communicate with each other properly.

How would you guys structure such an application and make them talk to each other properly?

Pick A Set Of Random Numbers
I have 100 numbers (1 through 100), and want to pick 10 random numbers from this set. Normally I would do

for (i=1; i<=10; i++) {
myVar = random(100)+1;
trace(myVar);
}

but this time I need all the random numbers to be different (thay can't repeat). How would you approach it?

Delay And Randomly Pick Frames In A MC
Hello all. Im wondering if someone could help me with the following problem.

I have this idea for my site of a random quote generator. What it would do exactly would slowly (about a 10sec delay between) and randomly display an array of quotes at the bottom right of my screen. Now I have the MC of one of the fifteen quotes already created with all the animations of a little ball of light writing the script out, But how would I easily script it so it choose a different layer with a different quote in a continuous loop?

Any help would be appreciated.
