How to make the Actions panel, direct active for typing?

Because,
when switching from window (ALT + TAB) and then back to the .fla window, i always have to use my mouse to click on the Actions panel for being enabled to type in the Actions panel.

That takes double the time

Actionscript Arrowhead On Line
Hi,

I am creating a program in which XMLbased X/y coordinates are extracted to draw lines from one movieclip to another using the createEmptyMovieClip method and lineTo. There is a line for every childNode, gathered in a for loop.

What I would like to be able to do is attach an arrowhead at the end of the arrow, hopefully pointed in a straight line with the angle of the arrow line.

Anybody with any insight shall be most praised, here's the code for the creation of the arrow line. I've gotten rid of all the variables and the for loop here because its not important, and would only add hassle.

Code:

createEmptyMovieClip("line_mc", 10);
line_mc.lineStyle(1, 0x000000, 100);
line_mc.moveTo(200, 25);
line_mc.lineTo(450, 105);
So that draws a diagonal line and I would like to cap the line with an arrow head following the aim of the line.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Progressively Drawing Shapes With Line And Arrowhead?
Hey all! Hows it goin?

I've been working off senoculars awesome article on progressively drawing shapes.

However, i was wondering if it was possible to attatch an arrowhead to the tip of the line?? So that when shapes are drawn, theres an arrowhead moving at the tip of the line?

It's just an idea, but would be awesome if it was possible

Peace out.

How To Make Password Dialogue Box And Automatic Download
Hello everyone.

I have been usng Flash 5 for about a year now, mainly for making movies (for friends) and simple NON-CODE menus.

Now I am working on a big intro/logo for a website. At the end of my logo movie, I have 2 options (buttons): MEMBERS and GUESTS. I would like to make it so that when you click MEMBERS a dialogue box appears telling you to write your password. I have no problem making the dialogue box appear IF the button is clicked. But how do I make a place to write in the box, a way to write, a way to check if it is right, and a link to url if it is right?

I have never used code for Flash but I have 2 years experiance (good) with C++. From all the code I have seen so far in Flash, such as loops and variables, it seems extremely similar to C++. Can anyone tell me how to make the dialogue/password box. Can you use strings and if statements? If so, when should I use them?

My Idea so far: (not real code, so you can understand)
Right-Click the button, say IF CLICKED, go to some frame with the box visible (maybe use ALPHA for this one). How would I make the area for writing the password, how would I allow the keyboard to write in this line I make? What code should I use?

P.S.
How can I make a Flash movie automatically send a file to be downloaded. After so many seconds a DO YOU WISH TO DOWNLOAD (from IE or Netscape) will apear. How can I do this?

Please help me.

Too long, sorry.

I would SUPER appriciate your help.

Thanks.

Make A Mc Follow The Mouse...?
Alright...I have a navigation menu that can be minimized into a little box. I'd like to make it so that when minimized, the the menuBox will slowly follow the mouse around the screen rather than remaining in a fixed location. How can I do this?

I tried to do a little action scripting myself but it just wasn't working...I'm not that adept with it yet. Does anyone have a way to do this? Maybe some sample script?

Thanks! I know this might be a tough one...

Make Mc Appear Only When Mouse Is Over Certain Line
hi all....

I am currently doing a physics report (in flash, strange yes, but o well...)

At the moment i am expalining something that involves two sin graphs out of phase by 120 degrees.

So i have two empy moveclips that will dynamically create the movieclip. (using the lineto(); method).

I also have a movie clip (instance name of hor_phase) that i have already made to have an x and y value of the mouse.

I want it so that when the mouse is over (near it as well would be preferable if possible) then the movieclip will be visible. (the movieclip is just a line with a label saying 120 degrees, so that if one end is one one graph, the other end will be on the same spot on the other graph, to show the two graphs are 120 degrees out of phase.

The only problem is i have no idea how to do this, so if someone could help me, that would be fantastic... (also, the report is due very soon, and as much as i hate rushing people, i am in a sense of urgency here ).

thnx for help...

(what i have is attached)

Make My Mouse Chaser Better
Here is my own first try to make a mouse chaser. It looks horrible, but it does chase the mouse. :P

i would like to know the experts idea on how to
1. properly code this
2. make the chaserObject not bounce around when it reaches the mouse
3. also make it ease out, when it gets closer to the mouse.

Looking forward to your wisdom.

Code:
speed = 5;

object.onEnterFrame = function() {
targetX = _root._xmouse;
currentX = getProperty("object", _x);

if (currentX<targetX) {
object._x += speed;
}
if (currentX>targetX) {
object._x -= speed;
}
box.text = "targetx: "+targetX+" currentX: "+currentX+" mouseX:"+_root._xmouse;

targety = _root._ymouse;
currenty = getProperty("object", _y);

if (currenty<targety) {
object._y += speed;
}
if (currenty>targety) {
object._y -= speed;
}
box2.text = "targety: "+targety+" currenty: "+currenty+" mousey:"+_root._ymouse;

};

How Can I Make 'accurate' Mouse Over Buttons?
Can someone tell me how to make 'accurate' mouse over buttons?

em... well what I mean is this:

I can make a button... put it onto scene one and assign it mouse over and mouse out actions...

But the thing is... if you move the mouse really fast... you can miss the mouse out action... and leave the button in a state of mouse over.

I've seen it in plenty of places... where they've got some kind of 'thing'! that makes the state of a button change when mouse is out... regardless of how fast you move the mouse over.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about!?

Check out http://www.maloman.com - kewl site!

The buttons he has have the working that I want.
[Where the picture changes on the left hand side but goes back to original picture if the mouse is moved away.]

If anyone can fathom what I'm ranting on about, I'd really appreciate any help/pointers.

Thanks.

How To Make Eyes Follow A Mouse
I need help to make eyes move and follow a mouse on the _x and _y axis, but the eye needs constrained with in an eye socket.
I have used two mc to constrain while mousedown.

// mc_1

How Can I Make This Button Light Up When You Put Your Mouse Over It?
Hello,

I know how to create a basic button and have the color change in the "over" state. However, this button has a flash effect when you rollout from the button. The flash movieclip is in the "up" state of the button, and when I try to add a color in the "over" state, it disrupts the movieclip and doesn't work.

Can you help? I just want the button to light up when you put your mouse over it and when you take your mouse off, for the flash effect to occur...

I'll attach my file so you can see this better!

Thanks!
