Floating Window
I have a question. I'm using Flash MX 2004 and want to be able to have a window appear and the whole backing fade. Then after you click anywhere on the movie or the window that appeared, the movie goes back to where you had it. I have an idea of doing this with labels but is there an easy way to do it, maybe scripted? An example is at the templatemonster's template:
http://www.templatemonster.com/flash...ates/7946.html
I don't want to have to buy it just to find this out. Once you click "Enlarge" a window pops in and when you click anywhere on the stage or the image it's back to normal. Any ideas?
THANKS!

Thanks.

Floating Stand-alone Window? How To Do It?
Hi, I was just wondering if it is possible to have a swf file play as a stand alone window when opened? I have used the fscommands before to open flash as an exe file in fullscreen, however this uses a background and takes up the whole screen. is there a way to have it so (say a flash window of 800x600px) that the flash window sits on the screen but not maximised to screen size?
Also, is there a code for autoplay (say once you put the file onto a CD and want it to automatically open when the CD is inserted)?
Floating Borderless Window

does anyone have any tutorial on how to do those floating-borderless-flash-windows which appear on a normal HTML page?,

thanks. all help appreciated!
Floating Window Within Flash Movie
Hi there,
I need a way to enlarge a symbol on click. Smth like a popup window but within the flash movie. It would be nice if it could be draggable. Imagine a thumbnail that once clicked the real sized image opens in a floating window within the movie that the user can close with an "x" option. Ive been looking online for hours no luck. Any ideas how I can do it?
Thanks in advance for the help

Floating Window That Runs In MacOS Background
OK, here's the idea - I have a small window, like a MacOS Stickie, that can run as a floating translucent window. In the background, it monitors the cursor position; if a user is in another app, and the cursor gets close, the window scoots out of the way (kind of like the little helpers in Microsoft Office).
I am trying to imagine how to do this in Actionscript, and my clue meter is pegged at zero. Any gentle pushes in the right direction? I want to do this myself, but a little mentoring would be appreciated.

Flash CS4 Window Resizing Behavior Missing Ability To Pull Floating Windows From Top
Hi everyone,
I am not sure this is the correct spot to post feedback on Flash CS4, if its not please let me know where the right spot is.
Ok I noticed in Flash CS4 that Adobe has changed the way windows are able to be resized when floating. Deviating from the way Windows XP GUI normally functions in all applications. When a window is floating Windows users are able to resize there windows on all 4 sides. Basically we are able to stretch and pull from the top, bottom, left and or right side. In CS4, Adobe has crippled the ability to pull and stretch from the top of the window (this would have no impact on the docking of windows imo). This is an annoyance that I can only imagine was inspired from the OSX but I could be wrong.
Could Adobe restore this functionality?
Info Window In The Flash App...
Hello,
Just wondering if anyone else is tired of not having the info window in the flash application update the x and y coordinates while positioning things on screen...it especially bugs me when I'm trying to position guides...every other program doesn't seem to have a problem giving users this info!
Do PC users (as opposed to Mac users) have this same issue?

Pop-up Window With Dynamic Info
i'm trying to figure out how to open a new window out of flash, but the information on the site uses php to pass variables. so the standard way to use javascript isn't working. this is the code i have, but i know it is wrong because of the variables. anyone have an idea of how to do this with variables?

toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,res izable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus();
void(0);");

Info Window Opening Up
Hello,
I am trying to achieve an effect.
I am watching http://thefountainmovie.warnerbros.com/ and I am only interested in one thing:
After the website loads, there is a menu in there. When you press any of the options, Synopsis, Trailer, Photos and so on, there is this window opening, but not an external popup like with javascript, but one that opens inside the movie. So all I need to know is how to make such opening windows that open up on top of my background.
How can I achieve this effect please? I know it must be something simple but I would like a lead in the right dirrection to make this.
Ty in advance

Get RID Of YELLOW Box Around Buttons ON TAB
does any one know how to get rid of the ugly yellow box that encapsulates a button when users tab through? I heard you can use a <param name= value= > tag in the HTML that gets rid of the yellow box and makes the button go to it's "over" state...but I don't know what the code is.
Also, does anyone know how to affect the tab order of text fields and buttons...I read a bit about on how to use the getFocus and setFocus like so...
on (keypress "<Tab>") {
if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.field1") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.field2");
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.field2") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.field3"); {
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.field3") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.field4"); {
} else if (Selection.getFocus() = "_level0.field4") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.field1");
}
}
but it's a bit hokey. Any other thoughts? What if I have a button? How do I name a button??
yikes!
muchos gracias,

Yellow Tabbing Boxes
I am having a problem with the tab button! I don't want it to function. I read a post on here today that suggested I turn off accessibility. I've done that but the tab button still gives me those awful yellow boxes. Any suggestions? I don't want the users to use the tab button.
Diasabling Tab Key (that Yellow Border)
Hi!
When you press the tab key in a flash movie you are shown the active elements with a big (and ugly) yellow border.
I am making a game in which the tab key is used, and well, its not so good.
I could use another action key, like say shift, but shift is not self repeating, you have to keep tapping it, while tab, you can just tap and hold...
Is there anyway to elliminate this fugly yellow border ?

Little Yellow Test Flag
Hi- this is one of those things that probably has a simple answer but is hard to do a forum search for. I apologize in advance if it's already been covered here.
Does anyone know why when hovering over the flash portion of a webpage a small flag that says "TEST" shows up next to the mouse. A few people have said they haven't seen it. This may be a MAC thing- or browser specific.
Click on a photographer and hover over the flash gallery to see what I mean:

I was struggling with preloaders till i found this tutorial

if you press TAB or click on stage it goes away.
I want to get ride of it, and i tried focusRect = null everywhere but without working
Before using this prealoder, it wasn't showing. and if i come back to regular loading also doesn't show.
does anybody has a clue?

No Yellow Button Border When Tab Is Pressed?
Is there a way to disable the yellow button border that appears when you press tab?
It can give away hidden buttons, and make it easy to win a game where you just have to click a bunch of things really fast.(tab, then enter "clicks on it").
I have tried making a mc appear when you press tab, and it is all yellow, but when you hold tab, it appears dimly.
Any ideas? Thank you for your time.

AS3 : Yellow Box Appears When I AddChild? Weird :(
Hey all,
I've been developing in AS3 for a while now... and I've come across something I can't figure out.
I finished a game I had been working on, but it still needed a main menu.
I did an "addChild" to add the menu to the screen. Then after the use clicked start, I did a removeChild for the main menu. However, there is this think yellow border that remains around where the menu used to be.
This yellow border has nothing to do with my game. It's no where in my code or library.
If you click on the screen (to give it focus) the yellow border goes away.
I tried things like giving focus to the stage and that didn't seem to work.
I already ready on google that it might have somethign to do with tabbing? But couldn't get any of that working either.
Anyone have any ideas? thanks!

Tab With Arrow Keys Without The Yellow Border
I'd like to setFocus to different movie clips using the arrow keys and enter to trigger the onRelease() function. However, I hate the yellow border by default. So I disable it by setting the _focusrect to false. But this makes all buttons other then Tab are disabled and I can't navigate the movieclips by the arrow keys and the enter. Is there any way to overcome this?

Accessibility Yellow Box Higlight Strangeness
I have a particular small ui control (custom which under certain browser acts differently)
With tabbing one gets a yellow box surrounding accessible buttons in flash. But im getting this plus a very faint yellow box around other buttons, im really lost as to how I can get into the yellow box code, probably cannot. So im trying to understand what might be a workaround. But im guessing no one has ever seen this before.
