  - Window pop-upHi. I want to create a pop-up showing a movieclip called "mcTest" whenever a
    button instance named "btButton" is released. How can i do that using a window
    component? I tried this code, but it doesn't work
    
    import mx.containers.Window;
    import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
    
    btButton.onRelease = function():Void{
    var cwMessage:MovieClip = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this,
    mx.containers.Window, true, {contentPath: "mcTest", closeButton: true});
    }
    
    I have already set the mcTest to be exported for actioscript with the linkage
    identifier "mcTest". Could anyone help me please?
    
    Thank you all!

  - Menu at the bottom of this siteI know how to pull of the rotating photogallery, but what baffles me is the
    nave menu at the bottom. Go ahead play with it. When you rollover one of the
    three only a corner raises. By the looks of it, I would say that it is
    actionscript. But i have never come across script that deal with angles. Then
    when you click on one it is something special. I have used the tween classes
    but never like this. There is some easing too. This is driving me nuts.
    Someone please tell me how it's done.

  - bringing a movie to the top????Hi
    
    This problem could be solved by assigning proper depth to each MC. Here is
    explaining the same withh few steps:
    
    1. Assuming u have 10 MC. Now attach those to the stage using attachMovie()
    2. Assign unique depth tto each MC ( say 1,2,3 ....,11)
    3. Now when u click on a Particular Instance to drag then set its depth using
    swapDepth(15) // 15 or the heighest depth than the given to other MC)
    4. Once it stops dragging then set its swapDepth back to the orignal. But
    first u need to store its inital depth using getDepth() in to a variable.
    
    I hope this would help u !!

  - Forms: Drop Down Menu?I would like to add a selection list to my flash form and set the var to
    ?0000Tnfm?. To use the classic Pizza Analogy:
    
    The user enters his name and address in input fields, then selects the size of
    the pizza from a drop down menu. Somewhere in the code the var needs to be set
    to ?0000Tnfm?so that the data can port to my CMS.
    
    Thanks in advance!

  - scroll pan component problemIt looks like if you override the code in the doLayout() function of the
    ScrollPane (the actual function doLayout is in the ScrollView class) to do
    the same code it would normally do, just put the vScrollbar on the left
    (vsb.move(lo,to)). That might work, it is just a guess.

  - Preloaded pics not fully loadedPROBLEM: I want to load 9 pics and once they are loaded I want the animation to
    start. The animation is a simple swipe off the movie clips containing the pics
    across the stage. While the pics are loading, there is a simple 'Loading...'
    move clip playing. This seems to work ok when I 'view as streaming' in Flash,
    but when I view online the images don't seem to be loaded before the animation
    starts. See at: www.simongroup.biz. Click 'Services'. Under the list of
    services, click 'billboards/signs.' This is even more apparent when viewed at
    56K dial up or lower. FILE CONSTRUCTION: First Frame is the 'Loading...' clip.
    Second Frame is the 'Loading' clip and the adHolder move clips that the images
    load into. The code for this frame includes the pics being loaded into the
    adHolder clips using the loadMovie as well as: onEnterFrame=function(){
    Loaded=adHolder1.getBytesLoaded()+adHolder2.getBytesLoaded()+adHolder3.getBytesL
    oaded()+adHolder4.ol_one.getBytesLoaded()+adHolder5.mk_3d.getBytesLoaded()+adHol
    der6.mk_future.getBytesLoaded()+adHolder7.bi_buildings.getBytesLoaded()+adHolder
    8.getBytesLoaded()+adHolder9.getBytesLoaded();
    Total=adHolder1.getBytesTotal()+adHolder2.getBytesTotal()+adHolder3.getBytesTota
    l()+adHolder4.ol_one.getBytesTotal()+adHolder5.mk_3d.getBytesTotal()+adHolder6.m
    k_future.getBytesTotal()+adHolder7.bi_buildings.getBytesTotal()+adHolder8.getByt
    esTotal()+adHolder9.getBytesTotal(); percent=Math.round((Loaded/Total)*100);
    if(percent>=100){ gotoAndPlay('start'); } } Note: Some of the pics have a
    shadow. The shadow is in the adHolder clip so that it swipes with the pic
    during the animation. That's why some of the pics are loaded into a clip inside
    the adHolder Clip. So anyone know what's going on here?

  - Help with Key ListenersFirst I'd like to say thank you to anyone that can help me out with this.
    
    I've set up a key listner and it works fine with the space bar but I want to
    use the number keys to control it instead. Numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 to be exact
    and I was wondering how I would need to change my code to have it listen for
    those numbers.
    
    Here is my code so far:
    
    this.onEnterFrame=function()
    {
    if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE))
    {
    One_Buzzed_In._visible = true;
    buzzed = new Sound(this);
    buzzed.attachSound("buzzer");
    buzzed.start(0, 1);
    }
    }
    
    Thanks again for any help.

  - Probs with setInterval and programmatic animationHi all
    
    Further to a recent post about using setInterval to create animation on a
    dynamically created menu item mc; I'm now trying to refine this process but
    once again not having much luck! The Flash front end is pulling in the menu
    data from an XML file, duplicating a menu item movie clip that has a dynamic
    text field in it and then populating that text field with the data from the XML
    file. This was all fine and dandy and working with no issues until I tried to
    add some interaction motion to the menu item mc.
    
    Initially I added a tween within the menu item mc that shifted the text field,
    (inside another mc), to the right and changed it's colour. The control of this
    happened in the rollOver statement back in the code. That was fine until the
    animation of the menu item embedded mc reached a keyframe - at that point any
    data that had been pulled into the text field vanished! So, my first question
    is, is there any easy fix to that?
    
    So, I figured I'd go about creating the animation programmtically. kglad
    helped me out last night with setInterval, but I'm having two problems now. I'm
    using an if statement inside the setInterval function to try and clear the
    interval when it reaches a certain point - i.e. when I've slid the menu item 50
    pixel to the right. Seems to be working - however getting it to reverse back
    into position on rollOut is proving tricky AND it only moves the same menu item
    - regardless of which item you rollOver ... which is odd. I guess I'm not being
    specific enough in telling it which item to move, but I can't figure that out.
    So, my two questions here are 1). Why is reversing the animation not working
    correctly on rollOut and 2). How can I let the rollOver code know exactly which
    menu item to control?
    
    Here's the code in full:
    
    var item_spacing = 45;
    var item_count = 0;
    
    function generateLargeNav(mainMenu_xml){
    var numberOfContactees = mainMenu_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
    for (var i = 0; i < numberOfContactees.length; i++){
    var currentContact = numberOfContactees[i];
    
    var species = items[i].firstChild; // same as items[i].childNodes[0]
    var location = items[i].childNodes[1]; // second child node
    
    var item_mc =
    mcPlaceHolder.attachMovie("mcLargeMenuItem","item"+item_count, item_count);
    item_mc._y = item_count * item_spacing;
    item_count++;
    
    var clickableEmail = currentContact.attritubes.email;
    item_mc.mcLargeMenuItemEmbedSingle.mcMenuItemBottomLevel.itemText.text =
    currentContact.attributes.itemText;
    
    item_mc.onRollOver = currentThumb_mc.onDragOver = function(){
    moveItem = function () {
    if (item_mc._x < 50){
    item_mc._x += 10;
    } else if (item_mc._x == 50){
    clearInterval(moveItem);
    }
    }
    itemMoverID = setInterval(moveItem, 20);
    }
    item_mc.onRollOut = currentThumb_mc.onDragOut = function(){
    moveItem = function () {
    if (item_mc._x > 0){
    item_mc._x -= 10;
    } else if (item_mc._x == 0){
    clearInterval(moveItem);
    }
    }
    itemMoverID = setInterval(moveItem, 20);
    }
    
    item_mc.onRelease = function(){
    somethiung();
    
    }
    }
    }
    
    var mainMenu_xml = new XML();
    mainMenu_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
    mainMenu_xml.onLoad = function(success){
    if (success) generateLargeNav(this);
    else description_txt.text = "Hmm, for some strange reason I couldn't find the
    XML file you're looking for, sorry.";
    }
    
    mainMenu_xml.load("mainmenu_data.xml");

  - Help me, Where is wrong?the following cord defined a Class:
    class myMsg{
    private var E0001:String = "1111111111";
    private var E0002:String = "2222222222";
    private var E0003:String = "3333333333";
    
    public function getMsg(MsgNo:String) :String{
    var Msg_string:String;
    //switch (MsgNo) {
    // case aaa :
    Msg_string = eval(MsgNo);
    //break;
    //}
    //return Msg_string;
    return Msg_string;
    }
    }
    
    when I use the Class :
    
    var message= new myMsg();
    var s = message.getMsg("E0001")
    
    But it dosen't return s with "1111111111".
    How can I get the "1111111111";
    
    You know I don't want to use the "swtich-case" in my function "getMsg",because
    I have lots of message.And if then,my code will be too long.
    
    How can I do?
    
    Many thanks!

  - Formmail.cgi & actionscript 2.0 questionWhat's up everyone! I'm having a terrible time trying to find out why Formmail
    is not receiving the "recipient" variable from flash properly. I never had a
    problem until now. Just recently, i noticed i was not getting emails from
    through my website, and then i did a mock email to myself- through my website
    and noticed an "Error: No recipent" notification! I have never changed my code,
    and i went and verified that my code is the same and i'm puzzled at this
    problem. Anyway, here's the code:
    //---------------------<send form LoadVars>------------------\\
    var gatherForm:LoadVars = new LoadVars () ;
    
    function sendForm() {
    gatherForm.recipient = "email***@***.com";
    gatherForm.visitor_comments = contactForm.userComments.text;
    gatherForm.visitor_name = contactForm.userName.text;
    gatherForm.visitor_email = contactForm.userEmail.text;
    gatherForm.visitor_primaryphone = contactForm.userPhone.text;
    
    gatherForm.send ("/cgi-bin/formmail.cgi", "POST");
    //---------------------------------</send form
    LoadVars>----------------------------\\
    
    As a note: in flash, the text input field that holds my email address, already
    has the instance name of "recipient." That was something I already double
    checked. I keep getting the Error: No Recipient for some reason! Finally, i
    called my web host provider andthey did a test on the formmail.cgi script and
    it's working fine (the link to the html test of the formmail.cgi script-
    www.iibyandre.com/testform.htm).
    
    Thanks for any help guys.

  - Loadmovie Loads a JPG?I'm trying to use loadMovie to load a jpg. I don't understand what ourMovieClip
    in the below example stands for.
    
    Macromedia says "The following example loads a JPEG image from the same
    directory as the SWF File that calls the loadMovie action:"
    
    loadMovie("image45.jpeg", "ourMovieClip");
    
    I'm trying to load the jpg onto the main timeline. Is it also possible to
    attach it to a movie clip like with a swf?

  - Sound buffering questionsI'm using actionscript 2's Sound class to load mp3's. I noticed as3's Sound
    class has buffering support, but not as2's ?
    If as2's Sound doesn't support buffering natively, do I use _soundbuftime to
    set buffer time? I'm planning to support flash 7 and plus.
    Also, I've read some articles online about detecting client bandwidth, if
    you'd like to share your way or suggest a good way of doing it in AS, it'd be
    nice too. Thanks.

  - Preloader and AmfPHPI knew there was something wrong and i found it now i need to fix it.
    What it is, is when after my preloader finishes loading large images and the
    messageboard, i get the images no problem (shgows the preloader works) but the
    messageboraddoes not work. In flash 8 works fine but on the server it doesn't.
    I have used amfphp a lot and i know all the files are alright so that cannot be
    it. The only difference is the length of time. It takes longer on the server
    and the data is not loaded. I wonder why/
    
    Info:
    I have exported all my AS2 classes to the second frame so my preloader will
    work and my messageboard is on the third frame.
    
    If you want anymore info please just ask. I have been trying to sort this out
    for a long time. (and I'm mean a long time)

  - Sliding menu type thingyOnce again I am stuck, and would like to request some help.
    
    Basically, I am attempt to create a sliding menu type MC, with an unlimited,
    or unknown number of menu items. I want to give the user of my application the
    ability to add or remove items to the menu my clicking a button. When the user
    removes an item, I want the items below it to slide up into the hole that was
    created. To see what I have done so far, and to download the FLA, please go
    here?(please try and ignore the code and screen design, and this is just an
    early prototype? )
    
    FLA: http://greatplains.novations.com/order_II.fla
    
    SWF: http://greatplains.novations.com/order_II.swf
    
    If you add so 5 new MC items; via the Add Program button, and then attempt to
    remove item 3, it want items 4 and 5 to slide up and then be labeled 3 and 4.
    
    Hopefully someone can give me some pointers as to what I am doing wrong?

  - Timer Assistance RequestThere are a lot of posts regarding timers that I have read, but I am still
    having trouble incorporating a timer with a conditional statement.
    
    Three circles appear randomly. For each circle that appears, I want its
    correlating box to appear for five seconds. I want the appearance of the boxes
    to happen in the order they are numbered. (Check to see if circle 1 is
    visible. If it is, display box 1 for 5 sec. Then, if circle 2 is visible,
    display box 2 for 5 sec.)
    
    Any help is appreciated.

  - Setting scroll pane contentI need to set the content of a scroll pane to a movie clip that I build dynamically from a list of thumbnail images. I was doing this in Flash MX with the setScrollContent method. From what I can see in Flash 2004, you can only set the scroll content to a file or a movie clip from the library. Neither of these options will work for me, since I must create the content on the fly. I'm trying to work with the content property but am not having any luck. Does anyone have a suggestion or example?

  - mc hierarchy rearrangementcan i alter hierarchial links of mc's?
    say i have an mc named "pea" attachMovie'd to mc "can". "can" in turn, attachMovied to "table", which is on _root. Can i get that "pea" into mc "fork" on _root (i need that pea be moving together with fork AND be above all other peas and cans in depth stack).
    
    i did try _root.table.can.pea._parent = _root.fork and it does the assignment, but does not rebuild hierarchy, means i still can't move the pea together with fork. what should i do?
    
    thanks
