Where Has My Action Panel Gone
Another dumb question.
I have created a short movie with a built in graphic clip. After useful help from this forum I can now cause the animated graphic to loop for a specified number of seconds. the number of seconds is specified in the first frame of the main movie. All working a treat. HOWEVER .. My action box has disappeared ! I can use any or all of the techniques for bringing it up e.g. Double clicking on the frame containing the action ... but no sign of my action panel . The movie is still working so the actions must still be there (the 'a' symbol is still there on the individul frames also) .... HELP !

Can't Find Action Panel
I know this may seem dumb, but I can't find the ACTION panel. I don't know where it went, but it's a little difficult to do action script without the panel...
Maybe I've disabled it somehow, but i've clicked the small upward arrow, and i've pressed Ctrl+Alt+A, No action panel...
What's going on...

Action Script Panel.
I just upgraded to mx professional - Very nice.
It looks like the only action script panel there is - is an advance mode. Does this version not offer the simple mode where they helped you out with the code? It used fields, and put in all the commas semicoloans etc. for you.
I miss that layout. Dose pro have this setting somewhere?

Action Panel Change
I usually work in MX but because i'm working with someone elses source files, I've been forced to upgrade to 2004 prof. On the outside, it didn't seems much different but when I try and create some basic actionscript, I see it's changed big style. I only know basic commands so I always used to create my AS in normal mode as I don't do enough to remember the syntax. I always used the drop down menus and text input fields but they now seem to have been removed – can this be true? I only upgraded because I was forced to, is there no way to get the new actions panel to work the way of the old i.e. in normal mode rather than expert?
Pulling my hair out…

Action Panel Copy Paste
Before I even begin with my somewhat silly question; let me clarify – I’m a total newbie with flash so maybe you guys can make life a lil easier .
So im following this tutorial : http://www.entheosweb.com/Flash/digital_clock.asp
And it seems easy enough up till the part where I get upto where I have to copy and paste the script into my action panel. That should also be simple enough except that ive never used the actions panel before (oh and I have flash MX installed), so I go into Window, Actions and the Action Frame opens up with lots of options so at this point im thinking I just want to copy and past but how on earth do I do that?
I know ive prolly made a goofy mistake of not understanding the instructions but could someone guide me along…

To Capture A Text And To Put It In The Panel Action
I want to capture the text typed by a user with the keyboard and to use it in a program (written in the panel action).
For instance, the user types the text "TEXT" and the program automatically catch this text and process it (for instance, the program writes this same text in bold letters; so the text TEXT appears in the result panel).
How can I do?
Thanks for your help.

Inverting Colours Or Replacing Colours
is it possible to use AS to replace a certain colour with a another one?
To explain, I have a large number of fla's with text in them, and most of the text is black, but some of it is multi-coloured. I would like to be able to change the background to black and the black text to white, while keeping the coloured text the same. The fla's are pretty complex, with most of the text in movieClips, so to try and select onlt the black text and make it white is way to complex...plus, I want to give the user the option of either black background white text, or white background black text...
SOO,
as per my original question, is there a replace colour function, or any way of making ONLY the black text white?
thnx

Action Script Pane In Panel For A Newbie
I'm inputting script into the action panel pane and am unable to see the last letter of some of the stuff. EX; typing in btn1.bnt. and seeing bt1.bt. How am I able to make sure I have no typos like in the example below.
(MouseEvent.CLICK, showimage11); Typo is 11. Should be 1
stop();
btn1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showimage11);
function showimage1(event:MouseEvent):void {
}
What do I need to do to expand this to see all the letters I'm typing?

Movie Clip Symbol Calls From The Frame Action Panel
I created a library movie clip that implements an "API". In the movie, I define the API, and from a main movie which uses the clip, I can make calls like:
myapi.callMyFunc();
This works great when i call these functions in button handlers, but I can't call the functions from my Frame Actions -- I'm assuming because the movie isn't loaded yet? Is there any way to have a user-defined function in another movie called from Frame Actions? is this the best way to handle an "API" type object?

Accentuation Works In Action Panel And Doesn't Works In A Class.
Try attached code in Action panel and in a class.
The same code works in Action panel (F9) and doesn't works in a class.
For GOD!!!!
How can it be????
It's seems that someting is missing when a class is instantiated.
I and thousands of developers that writes with special characters won't have solution for this problem?
I mean that thousands of swf 8.0 version won't be migrated to flash9.
Adobe is concerned about that?
Any idea?
Attach Code
//Action panel works fine
import flash.text.*;
var txt:TextField=new TextField();
addChild(txt);
txt.text="áéÃóú";
//class doesn't works
package
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;
public class TestAccentuation extends MovieClip
{
protected var txt:TextField=new TextField();
public function TestAccentuation ()
{
addChild(txt);
txt.text="áéÃóú";
}

Answer Panel Add-on Without Touching The System Of The Andser Panel Check It Out
Hi all!
I have created a add on for the Answer Panel!
This system is working like this:
I have made the menu and stuff, but when you select on the combo box "Answer", theres the code loadmovie and it laods the Answer Panel (like before)!
This add-on WILL NOT DAMAGE OR CREATE CHANGEMENTS on the system of the Answer panel
what's on the add-on:
music
game of the month (there currently bugs to fix)
later they will be more stuff!
(There are no update like the Answer panel)
Get it:
http://www.geocities.com/matrixplayer2000/do.html
(you must extract these files on the Answer panel folder of Flash MX (if you have Flash MX open, it will need a restart)
file discription:
ans.swf (Answer Panel)
Answer.swf (add-on)
an.exe (Because I can't make it to go back it will lunch this pop-up window)
NOTE: you can't run the ans.swf like this, but it must be in Flash MX Answer panel to see it. (I did NOT change it)
It's just working like this! and used to work like this!
GET the source code:
http://www.geocities.com/matrixplayer2000/do.html
===============================
Bug report and To-Do:
- Create game
- Make that it scale (like the answer panel)
- Fix for some the music speed (that is only me that can do that!(I just need to change the qulity higher and transform it into a .swf)
===============================
bye and enjoy!

Flex Controlling Items In Panel A From Panel B [Flex3/AS3]
Hi all,
Currently I am working on a project that seems a bit daunting to someone that's quite new to Flex 3 and the Flex Builder 3. I'm trying to create a Build Your Jacket app that will allow the user to create a "Letterman Jacket" with logos and text of their choice ( something a bit similar to Spreadshirt.com ).
At the moment I'm trying to work out how to have 2 Panels communicate with each other.
So say for example:
In Panel B I have a Text field where someone can type one line of text. When they type into the field, I'd like it to appear in Panel A and allow the user to manipulate that in Panel A.
If someone has an example of this in Flex 3 or AS3 form, then that would be great! But if not, then I'm really looking for some direction on things I can look up and focus on in order to accomplish this.
Thanks guys.

Panel Layout Question (panel Sets)
I have never been able to get the Library to stay part of my custom panel layout. I run dual monitors and all my other panels (actions, colors, ect...) are on the second monitor and open fine in their respective places, but not the Library. I have to always hit F11 to open it and then resize it, drives me crazy! **I don't want to 'dock' the windows because it puts them below each other and I don't need that. I want them next to each other and all half the size of my monitor. It makes for a very nice workspace with all the tools on 1 monitor and the entire stage and timeline on the other.
As far as I know there is no way to dock panels next to each other as opposed to vertically. Just something that has bothered me for oh, around 3 years now! Any suggestions?????

Use This To Customize Your Components Look
Ok, posted twice on this subject but havn't got any useful replies. after some digging up, ive made some code you can use to customize the look and feel of your components (the font, size, colours etc.) here goes...
************************************************** *************
say you have a list box on stage and you want to change the font and font size. do this
1. drag a component on stage. in this case it is a list box.
2. give it an instance name. i have used 'myListBox'
3. Select this component by clicking on it, then create a new layer above it - name it if you want. select any frame in this layer and open the actions panel.
4. enter this code.
//set style for only this component - myListBox
myListBox.setStyleProperty("textFont", "Courier New");
myListBox.setStyleProperty("textSize", 10);
add other properties as required. thats it.
************************************************** *************
in case you want to apply style changes throughout any component that appears in your swf, then use this code in the first frame of your fla.
// apply global style format.
// this will affect any component in the movie
globalStyleFormat.textFont = "Teachers Pet Sans Serif";
globalStyleFormat.textSize = 8;
globalStyleFormat.addListener(emailCheckBox, myListBox, myRadio, myRadio2, myRadio3, myRadio4);
************************************************** *************
say you have a group of components on stage (say a listbox - instance name 'myListBox', a checkBox - instancename 'myCheckBox', and a combo box - instance name 'myComboBox')
now you want to apply a particular style to just these three components without affecting any other components on the stage.
use this code in the first frame of the movie. change the properties as required.
//define the new style
var myStyleFormat = new FStyleFormat();
//define your new styles properties
myStyleFormat.arrow = 0x333300;
myStyleFormat.background = 0xffffff;
myStyleFormat.backgroundDisabled = 0xccffcc;
myStyleFormat.darkshadow = 0x333300;
myStyleFormat.foregroundDisabled = 0x999999;
myStyleFormat.face = 0x99cc99;
myStyleFormat.textSize = 12
myStyleFormat.highlight = 0x99cc00;
myStyleFormat.highlight3D = 0x333300;
myStyleFormat.radioDot = 0x333300;
myStyleFormat.scrollTrack = 0x99cc99;
myStyleFormat.selection = 0x333300;
myStyleFormat.selectionDisabled = 0x999999;
myStyleFormat.selectionUnfocused = 0x999999;
myStyleFormat.shadow = 0x99cc00;
myStyleFormat.textColor = 0x000000;
myStyleFormat.textDisabled = 0x999999;
myStyleFormat.textSelected = 0x000000;
// add a listener for each instance the style is required
myStyleFormat.addListener(myComboBox, myListBox, myCheckBox);
************************************************** *************

Customize Esc Shortcuts
Guys, I'm pretty new to the forum, searched all over, seems there's no post about that.
I got a question to do. It is really pissing me off.
Is it possible to customize those Action Panel shortcuts (like Esc+S+T, Esc+S+S, etc)?
The reason why I need this so much is because we've created a lot of customized functions, which we constantly use, and that thing might be handy.
Thanks in advance,
