Flash :: Mx.controls.Alert;

Using [alert ("alert Message");] Aka Javascript In Flash
I want an alert to pop up in my movie, but I cant figure out how to use javascript inside actionscript.

I cant insert the code:

<script language="JavaScript">
alert('Alert Message")
</script>

Like i would in an html.
and I tried just putting

alert('Alert Message")

But that didnt work either.
Thanks for your time.

Drag Controls Override All Other Controls On Movie?
I have a movie that loads into the main timeline and can be dragged around using:

on (press) {
startDrag("");
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();

}

That works great except that to close that movie again I've added a little button to say on press, unload movie.

Problem is none of the buttons or links on that page will work while it is being dragged around. How can I make the links and buttons work but still make the movie draggable?

Player Controls For Swf Similar To The Flv Player Controls Component?
Is there a component that is similar to the flv component that will control playback of a swf? or can this component also be used for a swf? I tried to create a player that uses loadmovie to load a swf, which works, but when i tried to create play, pause, forward (next scene), rewind (previous scene) etc it doesnt work and the audio and playback of the animation doesnt follow the controls when i click on the buttons. t hanks

How do you use flash to make an alert pop up in your broswer? By that I mean, it will pop up and say a message, and then you can click ok. In HTML format you would put:

Code:
alert ("Whatever");

And that would be javascript. An example of this can be found at http://www.lukeflash.com/affiliate/affiliate_info.html

I am making a custom alert. Like the Alert component I need all the other buttons (besides the buttons on the Alert) to have their rollOver, rollOut, press, etc.. functions to be disabled until the user is done with the alert. Then everything comes back to normal (try the alert component if you don't know what I mean). How can I do this?

Alert Box...
Nice day webmates, I have been creating a code, where I need to show an Alert, so I wrote:

Alert Help
Hey guys, and thanks for looking at my problem ;)
What i cant understand is this:
I have this code for popping up an alert box:
Alert.show(alertString,"text text", Alert.OK,this,null,iconSymbol,Alert.OK );

iconSymbol is declared like this:
[Embed(source="images/errorIcon.png")]
[Bindable]
public var iconSymbol:Class;

If i use my Alert line outside any function it works great, but when i try to put that same alert line inside a loadComplete function that comes up after a urlloader finish loading (Event.Complete) it refuses to run my alert with an error of:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert to flash.display.Sprite...

Any ideas why?
Thanks!

AS For Alert : Help
I seem to be having problems with my Alert popping up even after I have a successful login. If I don't have a successful login, it will popup as expected and close when I click the "OK" button. The problem is that when I key in a successful login and move to frame1-2-3 (either) the Alert will still show. Any suggestions? Is there a statement I can use to keep the Alert hidden? Here's my code:

ActionScript Code:
btn_submit.onRelease = function() {
if (username add password eq "user1" add "pass*") {
gotoAndStop("frame1");
} else
if (username add password eq "user2" add "pass") {
gotoAndStop("frame2");
} else
if (username add password eq "user3" add "pass") {
gotoAndStop("frame3");
} else
Alert.okLabel = "OK";
// set the default button dimensions
Alert.buttonWidth = 80;
Alert.buttonHeight = 30;
// Display an alert
// where the message is "Oh no, you did..."
// and the title of the dialog is "Very Bad Error".
// Show a NO and CANCEL button and make the
// NO button the default button.
Alert.show
(
"Your username or password is incorrect. Please try again.",
"Login Error",
Alert.OK,
_root, alertHandler,
Alert.OK
);
// create the alert handler callback
alertHandler = function ( theEvent ){
// check which button the user pressed
if (theEvent.detail == Alert.OK){
trace ("No? What do you mean, "no?"");
}
}
};

Javascript Alert
Hi all, I have been trying to get a property value show up in a javascript alert() so I can see it.

Is there an easy way to have the value printed somewhere when I click the object ?

Alert Box Properties
Hello,

I am importing the alert box component using Flash MX 2004 using the following script;

import mx.controls.Alert;

if (evt.detail == Alert.OK) {
}
};
Alert.show("Message.", "Title", Alert.OK | Alert.CANCEL, this, myClickHandler, "stockIcon", Alert.OK);
}

Currently the box appears with 'ok' and 'cancel' butttons. How do I change the code to appear with just the OK button?

I'm having problems with my alert box, it pops up, and does all that I want it to, only it isn't at the right depth, is it possible to change the depth of an alert box?

Message Box Alert
I searched through some of the threads and didn't find anything about messages boxes. I am wondering if there is a way to have one pop-up, but without access to the HTML. This is designed to be an ad, but I cannot modify their HTML, so something like this won't work:
code:
fscommand("messagebox", "This is a message box called from within Flash.")

I know that that basically looks for a Javascript function to run and displays the message box via JS. Is there any way to do it directly from Flash?

I am using ActionScript 1 (Flash MX), so if anyone has a solution, please keep that in mind. I'm grateful for ANY help.

Alert.addEventListener Help
Hi All,

I am using the Alert Component but having a bit of difficulty.

The help files say that I can add a click event to the Alert to capture when it have been clicked. To do this they add an eventListener to the Alert. When I do this, exactly as they have in the help files it returns an error "The property being referenced does not have the static attribute."

How do you listen for an Alert box to be clicked and take action when it is?

Thanks.

Alert Problem
well the thing is that when i am calling alert.show() and it shows the alert i can still move aorund some stuff behind the pop-up....any ideas how to disable everything before user clicks "ok"?

Simple Alert
Okay, this seems like a stupid question so here we go...

I just want to pop up an alert.

Layer 1: a graphic
Layer 2: actionscript - alert("hello");

I run the movie, nothing happens. Is this the right way to call an alert? Or do I have to do something special?

Javascript Alert
I have a swf with the action script

getURL("javascript:alert('hi');" , "frame");

its supposed to open that alert 'hi' in the frame 'frame'. I did that but it doesn't work. does anyone now what i did wrong or is there any other way to do this?

Alert Dialog?
So I'm working on a project in Actionscript 3.0 using Flash CS3. I've come to a point where I'd really like to just quickly and easily give the user a confirmation box. In actionscript 2.0 I could do this using the Alert class in mx.controls. However it seems no similar control exists in actionscript 3.0, and any amount of googling just leads me to actionscript 2.0 references or flex references.

Pop Up Window Alert
hey guys,

would you know how to simply have an alert box pop-up upon a specified action, such has "sorry that is not the correct answer!" & then the user would click the OK button to close it.

i think in Director, it's as simple as writting "alert:..." but i have no idea on how to do it with flash.

thanks,

Customizing Alert Box Look?

Alert Message
I am using a Flash .swf file as part of a web-based piece built in Toolbook. I publish the piece and then click on the index.html page. When the .swf plays locally, I receive this message:

The following local application on your computer or network:
C:(and path to file)

is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
C:(and path to file)

To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings. You must restart the application after changing your settings.

The there is an OK and Settings...buttons.

First off, when I click the Settings... button, nothing happens...but the real question is how to avoid this message from appearing at all. I ask this because I want to have a downloadable version in HTML form and do not want the user to see this message.

Is it possible to get rid of this message and if so, how?

DropShadow On Alert Box
Hi
Anyone know the correct method/syntax to use to apply a dropShadow filter to an Alert box created with ActionScrript?
I've tried applying it to Alert as follows:

import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter;
var dropShadow : DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter(5, 90, 0x000000, 0.7, 10, 10, 3, 3);
_global.styles.Alert.filters = [dropShadow];

...but with no luck. Don't get the dropShadow when Alert.show() is called.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. the space around the colon in the variable definition is deliberate to stop an emoticon appearing in this message!

ActionScript 3 / Alert Box?

Thanks

Unseen Alert Box
Hello helpers,

I need to know the possible reasons about the Alert box problem.
Actually, I just use a normal Alert code as follows:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import mx.controls.Alert;

function callAlert(msg):Void {
Alert.buttonHeight = 22;
Alert.buttonWidth = 50;
var alertbox:Alert = Alert.show(msg,"Message");
alertbox.setSize(250, 100);
}

nextButton.onRelease = function() {
if(reviewBox.selectedIndex == 0) {
var msg98:String = "Please choose experiment";
callAlert(msg98);
}
else {
....
}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The current problem is that it doen't seem to work. I can not see the alert box on the window.

Thank you for your help.

New Line In Alert Box
I have an alert when a new version of software is available for download. The alert receives the text from an XML file for different languages. The problem I run into is when it shows the alert it displays the
characters in the alert text. Does this have to be stored in the HTML Code format within the XML? i.e.: &#92 for If not how can I correct this? When I just enter the alert in plain text without loading it from an XML source it works great.

Here is some code:

Alert.show(Locale.loadString("IDS_NEW_VERSION")

IDS_NEW_VERSION = A new version is available.
Please upgrade by selecting

Alert Component Help
There's gotta be something I'm missing. It seems as if all I ever do is ask for help. Sorry about that.

Okay. I'm trying to use an alert component to thank a user for sumbitting their information in a form. I don't get any errors when I hit ctrl+enter, but when I actually press the Submit button in the preview window, I get a message that says
"Submit clicked
Failed to create a new alert, probably because there is no Alert in the Library
"
I have a perfectly good Alert component all stored in my library waiting to be used. Btw, the form works without the alert button. I just thought it'd be nice to give the user some confirmation that his/her information has been submitted.

[edit] Actually, the form doesn't work anymore, even without the component. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Here's the code I'm using:

Code:
import mx.controls.Alert;
thanks = new Object();

thanks.click = function (evt)
{
trace(evt.target.label + " clicked");
Alert.show("Thank you for submitting your informaiton",Alert.OK, _root, alertHandler,Alert.OK);
}

namebox.tabIndex = 1;
emailbox.tabIndex = 2;

submit.onPress = function() {
var myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.name = name.text;
myLoadVars.email = email.text;
myLoadVars.send("form.php");

submit.addEventListener("click",thanks );

alertHandler = function(theEvent)
{
if (theEvent.detail == Alert.NO)
{
// no button
trace ("Ok? What do you mean, "ok?"");
}
}
namebox.text=" "
emailbox.text=" "
}
