Flaw / Bug In ComboBox Component

Content To Appear In Textarea Component Based Off Of ComboBox Component Selection?
Hello all:

I have a comboBox component with different values like so:

1-10
11-19
ETC.

Depending on what value is chosen from the comboBox, a certain value needs to appear in the text area. Do I need to use a listener for this? If not, any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Checkbox Component To Toggle ComboBox Component
I've got a script that dynamically generates a grid of checkboxes and combo boxes. I'm trying write a handler to toggle the Combo boxes on or off when a user clicks on the corresponding checkbox. To do this, I add a property called "bound_to" when duplicating the checkboxes. The "bound_to" property contains the instance name of the combo box that I want the checkbox to control. So here's my onChange handler:


Code:
function toggleComboBox(component) {
trace(component._name+" has been selected ");
trace("bound to "+ eval(component.bound_to));

if (eval(component.bound_to).getEnabled == true) {
trace("enabled must be true for the target");
eval(component.bound_to).setEnabled(false);
} else {
trace("enabled is false for the target");
eval(component.bound_to).setEnabled(true);
}

}
My trace actions show that the correct instance names are saved correctly and this function works to enable the combo boxes, but it won't disable them. The problem is with the IF statement I think. It always returns false so I can only toggle the combo boxes on, but not off again. Is my syntax wrong or am I doing this the wrong way?

Flash SECURITY Flaw?

Nice Little Login Flaw...
HI! Attached the .fla for better understanding...
Jus' created a nice Login field that works quite fine, if it wasn't for one little bug: once you enter the correct Login-name but the wrong password (or no password at all), the Status-textfield, instead of returning "Login failed." (or "Forgot to fill in?"), remains silent.
Here's the code on the "OK" - button:
code: on (release) {
if (user == "user") {
if (pass == "pass") {
gotoAndStop(2);
security = 1;
}
} else {
_root.Status = "Login failed.";
}
if (user eq "" || user eq "undefined") {
_root.Status = "Forgot to fill in?";
}
if (pass eq "" || pass eq "undefined") {
_root.Status = "Forgot to fill in?";
}
}

Any ideas?
Thanks for your help!

Flaw With Transition Tutorial
Hi I have been using Voetsjabba's transition tutorial, its very good but i've been testing it with my own website and there is a serious problem.

If you try running voetsjabba's transition example, it works fine, however try this

click on section 1 button,

now (whilst the transition movie for section 1 playing hit section 2 button )

nothing happens, you may argue that this is meant to happen, but the main problem is that if you try hitting the section 2 button whilst everything has stopped nothing will happen, it will stay on the current movie.

Try the example and you'll find out.

However there must be a solution to this problem, the following is the code used for the buttons,

on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "temp";
content.loadMovie("temp.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "temp") {
if (content._currentframe>=content.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "temp";
content.play();
}
}
}


There must be a way where u can alter this code so that everytime a button is pressed something will definately happen.

I'd be grateful for help.

Cool Preloader With A Minor Flaw?
Could someone please let me know what is wrong with this preloader? It appears to work however I recently discovered, it is only about 98% accurate so even though it appears to work, any component that required your web page to be 100% preloaded will fail.



http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Scrip...5463/index.php


I like this one because it only takes one frame of your movie and a lot of people have commented on the nice readout.

Dynamic Content Flaw Or Geocities Problem?
ok fellas. quick question, but a little background first. my web page is set up so that i am showing different projects within a window on my page. all the projects are in another .swf movie that i am calling 'library.swf'. in my library.swf i have nothing on the main timeline, but am loading all the project MC's from the library of library.swf into the main page. all goes well when i load test my movies on IE 5.5 local. but when i upload and test my site on geocities, the projects dont show up in the window most of the time. i have everything organized exactly as it is in my local file folders. i dont think i am doing anything wrong, but it just doesnt load sometimes. is this a scripting problem or a typical geocities free interenet space problem?

Data Encapsulation FLAW On Arrays In Actionscript 2.0?
I have been programming in Actionscript 2.0 using the class constructs and I have run into something which is kind of curious which I would like to share with you all. It would seem that Actionscript 2.0 has a flaw in handling data encapsulation in dealing with Arrays.
Try this: create a class, say Car, and define it this manner:

ActionScript Code:
class Vehicle {
   private var numberOfWheels:Number;
   private var vehicleName:String;
   private var occupants:Array = new Array();
   public function Car (vName:String, nWheels:Number) {
      vehicleName=vName;
      numberOfWheels=nWheels;
   }
   public function addOccupant (occ:Occupant):Void {
      occupants.push(occ);
   }
   public function numberOfOccupants():Number {
      return occupants.length;   
   }
   public function listOccupants():Void {
      for (var i:Number=0; i<occupants.length;i++) {
      trace(occupants[i].getName());   
      }
   }
}
Now create the class to hold the occupants as follows:

ActionScript Code:
class Occupant {
   private var nameOfOccupant:String;
   private var ageOfOccupant:Number;
   private var isDriver:Boolean;
   public function Occupant (oName:String, oAge:Number, oIsDriver:Boolean) {
      nameOfOccupant=oName;
      ageOfOccupant=oAge;
      isDriver=oIsDriver;    
   }   
   public function getName():String {
    return nameOfOccupant;   
   }
}
Finally, create this code at the movie root:

ActionScript Code:
// create a new vehicle and fill it with 3 occupants
var car:Vehicle= new Vehicle("Jeep", 3)
// now fill it up with 3 passengers
var occ:Occupant =new Occupant ("Marco", 46, true);
car.addOccupant(occ);
occ=new Occupant ("Mary", 42, false);
car.addOccupant(occ);
occ=new Occupant ("John", 12, false);
car.addOccupant(occ);
// now the car has three passengers
// you can confirm it here:
trace(car.numberOfOccupants());
// now let's create a completely different vehicle:
var bike:Vehicle= new Vehicle("bicicle", 1)
// and let's add the passsenger for the bike
occ=new Occupant ("Tom", 16, true);
bike.addOccupant(occ);
// NOW watch this:
trace(car.numberOfOccupants());
// returns 4 and not 3!
trace(bike.numberOfOccupants());
// returns 4 and not 1!
// both arrays, instatiated as private variables in separate instances, point to the same data!
bike.listOccupants()
// you get:
//Marco
//Mary
//John
//Tom
It seems as though Actionscript is not properly encapsulating the arrays. All the other private data items (names, number of wheels, and so on) are being dealt with correctly but arrays are not.

As I am not an expert on Actionscript I may be misunderstanding the nature of the Array type but I would expect it to have created two completely independent arrays and not be addressing the same one!
Am I doing something wrong? What do you think?
BTW: I have tried this with Flash MX 2004 Professional and with Flash 8 with the same results.

Advanced: Question About Image Loader Problem (flaw?)
Hi all,

I'm struggling with this annoying thing which I think is a bug or some kind of flaw in Flash MX (Pro 2004).

In this huge website, I've implemented a variable image loader (9 images aligned in a horiz. row, loaded by loader component, mouseover results in different loaderinstances to become visible - coloured versions of original) Howeverm, in one in 20 times one image doesn't quite load as it should, it moves itself (the image in a loaderinstance) 1 mm to the left or right and upwards or downwards...

This can happen once, and when I reload the same page, it's not there anymore.. So it is not that the mouseover/mouseout images different in size, it's just some kind of ... who knows what ...

Has anyone encountered the same problem or knows about this flaw ? Or am I just doing something amazingly wrong...

Thanks in advance !!!!!

Help Me With ComboBOX Component PLEASE

PLEASE HELP ComboBox Component Is Beyond Me
OK! To start with, I'm an animator, not a coder. So, for whatever reason, I'm an idiot and can't figure this out.

I've used the Flash MX Tutorials and AS Dictionary, but still need a more simplified explanation.

All I need is a few different ComboBoxes that work with an existing Dynamic Text Field. One ComboBox changes the text's size, another changes the font, another change's the font color, another changes it to bold/italic, and another changes the background of the font.

I know how to set up the ComboBoxes so the labels, data, and handler are OK. But I know I'm messing up with the AS for the first frame of the movie. How do I write (the function?) so if someone selects different labels of any ComboBox, it automatically changes the Dynamic Test field appropriately?

Thank you!

ComboBox Component Help
I want to use the combo box component as a jump menu. I made a function and assigned that function to the event handler. How do I determine what data is used in that function? My function looks like this:

function jumpSwitch (newPalette) {
for (j=0; j < 1024; j++) {
var movieName = "sampleMovie" + j;
var miniPixel = "miniMovie" + j;
var frameNumber = getProperty (_root[movieName], _currentframe) + (15 * (currentPaletteNumber - lastPaletteNumber));
var miniFrameNumber = getProperty (_root[miniPixel], _currentframe) + (15 * (currentPaletteNumber - lastPaletteNumber));
_root[movieName].gotoAndStop(frameNumber);
_root[miniPixel].gotoAndStop(miniFrameNumber);
getProperty(_root[movieName], _currentframe);
lastPaletteNumber = getProperty(this, _currentframe);
currentPaletteNumber = newPalette;
}
}

I want the data that is to be place in there to replace newPalette in the function parameters. How do I do this? Thanks for the help.

ComboBox Component
I want to use a comboBox like a group of buttons each seletion in the box will tell the movie to goto or move selection in a bounding box to a new section. I have never used the components before and I have tried to enter in all sorts of stuff in the property inspector for the component but no go. So all I want is the different selections in the comboBox to tell an object to do something with AS.

ComboBox (Component)
How can you dynamically add things to the combo box and add their data? I tried doing
code:
usernameselect_cb.labelField = [];

and in the [] there are variables. But that didn't work.
(Also, the vars are called username and a number (such as username1). There are diff amounts of these. How can I make it only show the number of usernames there are without it saying undefined when one doesn't exist? (They go up in order, there will never be a missing one)

A Bug In AS3 Combobox Component
Hi,
i'm working in flash 9/AS 3, and added to one of my swf (which loads into
the main one) a combo-box component. when its data provider property is
empty, and i play the main swf - the combo box is there, empty of-course,
and nothing happens when i click it. however, when i add data manually to
the data provider property of the component (single item), and then play the
main swf - the combo-box is still empty, and when clicked (doesn't matter
where on the component), i get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object
reference.
at
fl.containers::BaseScrollPane/fl.containers:BaseScrollPane::drawBackground()
at fl.controls::List/fl.controls:List::draw()
at fl.core::UIComponent/drawNow()
at fl.controls::List/scrollToIndex()
at fl.controls::SelectableList/scrollToSelected()
at fl.controls::ComboBox/open()
at fl.controls::ComboBox/fl.controls:ComboBox::onToggleListVisibility()

and when clicked again, this error pops:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of
the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at fl.controls::ComboBox/close()
at fl.controls::ComboBox/fl.controls:ComboBox::onToggleListVisibility()

when i tested the inner swf, there was no problem, and when i made another
test, with an empty movie, containing only the following code:

var ur:URLRequest = new
URLRequest("C:\Users\eRez\Documents\AllOfMe\Timeline019\swf\balloon.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(ur);
this.addChild(loader);

there were no problems at all.

does anybody have any idea where all of this comes from?
thanks in advacne,

loc_cb.drawFocus = null;
loc_cb.dropdown.drawFocus = null;

and also tried setting the focus to the movieclips. The first one did nothing, and the second put an ugly yellow box around my movieclips....any ideas as to whats causing this??? Thanks alot

Combobox Component Help
HEy all,

I was wondering how many columns of data a flash combobox can have.

Explanation:

I want to associate a "name", "date1", and "date 2" into a combobox.
Where the dates would be data, and name would be a label.
I know how to call tha label and data like so.


Code:
combobox.getSelectedItem().label
combobox.getSelectedItem().data
Is there any way to have more than one "data field" for each label?


Is something like this possible:

Code:
combobox.addItem(ComboSites,ComboURLs[i], [i]ComboEnds[i]) ;
Any help or input is really appreciated.

Thanks,

Using The ComboBox Component
I am working on a project where the user can click on a country (from a world map) and see if it has a missle defense system and other information about the it.

Some of the countries are so small, that I think the end user might have a problem clicking the right country, so I thought it would be cool to also include a ComboBox so that they can easily select the country they want to see.

I have all of the country names in the combobox as "labels" but how do I tell the combobox to load cuba.swf when they select cuba in the menu?

Bug With ComboBox Component?
I have included two comboBox components in my file.  After clicking on either of them then my other buttons do not work properly.

For example,
1) I have a view_cb that lists different viewing ratios such as 200, 150, 100, and 50.  (The movie then scales by the number selected).
2) I also have two buttons (dec_btn and inc_btn) that also control the scaling of the movie.  Each time one of these buttons is pushed then the movie's x/y scale decrements/increments by 10.

These two functions work fine seperately, but if I manipulate the combobox first, and then try the buttons --> After I press the buttons, I must move the mouse to another location on the buttons before I press them again.

This has to be a bug...does anyone know how to work around this?  What should I do to solve this?  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as this has stumped me for some time now.  Thank you -
  Frank

ComboBox Component / XML
I have a ComboBox that is populated via XML from this code:

Code:

(I left the brackets off becuse for some reason everything was getting deleted when I submit it to the forum)


menu

   item label="Select >>" data="0"

   item label="Credit cards" data="1" url="https://www.mycardstatement.com" target="_blank"

   item label="eStatement Enrollment" data="2" url="https://estatements.ffbla.com" target="_blank"

   item label="Investments" data="3" url="http://www.eprimevest.com" target="_blank"

   item label="Insurance" data="4" url="http://www.digop.com" target="_self"

/menu




Everything is working fine except the first "item" is not displayed in combo box by default... instead some funky error is there.

Error says: [type Function], [type Function],

I've tried everything I can think of and am to the point where I want to give up and make my own from scratch... sometimes I hate components!

Here is the Actionscript:
("combo" is the variable of the combo box component)

Code:

var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;


xml.onLoad = function() {
   combo.dataProvider = this.firstChild.childNodes;
   combo.selectedIndex = 0;
}

xml.load("menu.xml");

var comboL:Object = new Object();
comboL.change = function() {
   var item = combo.selectedItem;
   var link = item.attributes.url;
   var win = item.attributes.target;
   if(link) {
      getURL(link,win);
   }
}

combo.addEventListener("change",comboL);


Any help or insight is GREATLY appreciated! :)

ComboBox Component Issue
I have a movie loaded at level 30. It has a ComboBox in it. When the ComboBox is clicked, however, the drop-down list is obscured by movies loaded at levels 19 and 18.

I put a button on the movie loaded at level 30 to drag it, as a test. Sure enough, when I drag the movie, it always remains above the movies loaded at lower levels, as you would expect. However, when I click the combo box, it consistently appears below the other movies.

Can anyone help me with this one?

ComboBox Component Problems
hi
i'm looking for a way to make my ComboBox component in Flash MX to have actions assigned to it... i need to assign the loadVariables action and the gotoAndPlay. I need to have A LOT of items in this combobox, about 80 or so. When you click a choice in the combobox i want it to loadVariables and then gotoAndPlay a different frame. This is very urgent and I need a response ASAP.
Thank you
Peter

Problem With Combobox Component
Hi
How to add labels to combobox by actionscript from a database or text file.

Thanks

LoadVars + Combobox Component
I am using a LoadVars object to load variables from an ASP file. Once the data has been loaded, I am trying to use the data to dynamically populate a combobox component. The problem I am having is that the combobox is only displaying the item.

I have verified that all of the data is being loaded into my Flash movie.

The strange thing is that when I load the input from a text file it loads fine but when I load from the ASP file the combobox doesn't populate properly.

Frame 1 code:

stop();
varReceiver = new LoadVars();
varReceiver.onLoad = handleLoad;
function handleLoad(success) {
if (success) {
gotoAndPlay("interface");
}
}
varReceiver.load("http://mydomain.com/SGSelector.asp");

Frame 2 code:

aryRegionNames = varReceiver.NavListParent.split("|");
aryRegionIDs = varReceiver.NavListParentID.split("|");
for (var i = 0; i<aryRegionNames.length; i++) {
myComboBox.addItem(aryRegionNames[i], aryRegionIDs[i]);
}
