Loading Window Component with Button!

Hello! I found two tutorials that both contain pieces of what i am looking for but i cant seem to figure them out and get exactly what i want. Here is the first one:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveD ocs_Parts&file=00004289.html
In the first one, the general idea is what i am looking for. Except that i want to load a movieclip and not an image. My problem in this one is the button component that is used. I have no clue how to skin or customize the button, and i cant find a good tutorial to help me so i figured it might be easier to just change the actionscript for this. I want to be able to create my own button (instance button) and use that so that when people release that button, the movie clip pops up!
Now in this second tutorial that i found:
http://www.getw3help.com/2008/07/window-component.html
Its pretty much exactly what i want and it loads a movieclip. Problem is, when i add the code to a button, it doesnt work!
Can anyone help me? Hope i am clear in my explanation!
Thanks!

Ok it sort of works... here is my code:
on (release) {
trace("button works");
win.title = "Yellow Birthday Package";
win.closeButton = true;
win.contentPath = "yellowPack";
win.setSize(550,500);
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.click = function(){
win._visible = false;
win.addEventListener("click",listener);
It order to make it work, the window component has to be on the stage but i want it to popup only when the user clicks on the button. So the window should be hidden/invisible when the page first loads. I tried changing win._visible = true; but that did nothing.
The other problem is that the movie clip inside the window, isnt aligning center. i can only see a corner of the movie clip. in the top left. I havent tested the whole thing live though!

  • Window Component with Loader Component

    I have the SWF loading into a shell using a Loader component.
    Within one swf is a trigger for a window - which ,suprise suprise,
    doesn't work. It works fine if I access the swf directly just not
    when loaded through the shell. I have added the component to the
    shell fla and then although a window component loads up, the
    content (which is linked in the library) is not found. Anyone come
    across this before?

    There is a discussion of modules and popups on my blog

  • Problem loading window component more than once

    I have a swf with a button that opens a window component
    (from my library). it loads fine and also closes fine when I click
    the close button in the window. but when I try to open the window
    again, it actually loads again, but it stalls and locks up
    immediatley. can anybody tell me what is wrong with my code? I also
    was going to have different buttons to open different windows (each
    swf playing a song and has written lyrics). it does the same thing
    when i load the first window, close it, then try to open a second
    window. it stalls and locks up.
    please, I really need some help!

  • Dual loading Windows 7 with Snow Leopard Virus question

    I just loaded Windows 7 onto my computer using parallels for various reasons that I don't want to get into. Will having Windows on my Apple computer make it more susceptible to viruses?

    Mac OS X itself can't be infected with Windows viruses. You can get your Windows installation for Parallels infected, and could infect any file Windows can access with something that could harm another Windows system. If you allow your Windows installation to use Parallels to 'see' your files created and stored via Mac OS X, you could thus end up with files carrying an infection if your Windows install is ever infected. This could of course lead to your own files reinfecting Windows if you end up reinstalling it. You can get antivirus programs for Mac OS X, with the primary purpose really being to clean and prevent Windows viruses from being passed along or in your case getting through to your Windows installation.
    To put it most simply, imagine having a pet that has a weaker immune system than you do. You can't catch the same diseases as this pet, but you might not know you are passing them along from a friend's pet or the old food dish from your previous pet. You stay healthy, but you might go through several pets before you figure out what keeps making them get sick and die.

  • K7N2G will not load windows xp with any type of dvd/cd drive installed?

    This is on my old computer, the specs are as follows
    k7n2g
    athlon 2600+
    radeon 9700 pro
    Caviar SE wd800
    1gb samsung ddr333
     It does not matter if it is keyed as master or slave, primary or secondary my old k7n2g will not load windows with a cd drive installed. I have tried three different drives and everything that I can think of, changed cables, channels, drives, everything. Windows just hangs. I cannot even get into safe mode. Is this an IRQ problem? The drives keeps trying to eject themselves, no matter what kind I use. This has never happened before, but there was a point before this problem where the vga wouldn't kick on (at the login screen) until I hit eject on the cd drive. This is driving me crazy and I have a girlfriend who just has to play her stupid sims and will not stop bothering me about it. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me!
    Thanks

That way we wont have to scroll to hunt down your hardware specs
    So let us get this straight.
    This system used to work fine? Yes? Then what prompted you to reload the OS?
    You mentioned that didn't happen when you owned it. Are we to assume that at some point you sold or gave parts of this system to someone else? If so, what changed?
    A little more history might prove useful in helping us to give you better suggestions.
    Look at the PSU and give the Amps for the +3.3, +5v, & +12v lines.
    ***Edit, from what I see on the net, that is a dual rail PSU and the amps are as follows:
    +3.3V@22A, +5V@21A, +12V1@18A, +12V2@16A
    Is this correct?
    Both the 3.3 and +5v seem a little low to me, but I am not entirely convinced that would be your problem. However, the fact that the 12v rails are split, can lead to other problems such as overvoltage protection circuitry getting in the way. Especially if the 16amp 12v rail is overloaded.
    This is something to consider. Just because it is supposedly capable of wattage over it's rated power output doesn't mean it can handle what you're throwing at it all at once. If you have a single rail PSU that has at least 18 amps on the 12v rail to test with, we could almost definitively rule out power as the sole problem or a contributing factor.
    I have never had a CD rejected, but if you could be more detailed about what you have connected to the board while attempting to load the OS, and then a detailed description of at what point the OS installation fails, and the CD is ejected, that would be helpful as well.
    The fact that you've tried several drives, cables, with the same result. And also had a blackscreen event, does point to at least one problem that could point to a power issue. The CD rejection issue is foreign to me since I usually use the same type of PSU in all my builds or ones that I know work with a particular set of hardware, so I can't attribut that to a power issue.
    Did you try clearing the CMOS and then initialize the default settings?
    Do you have a cheap AGP card to try instead of the 9700?

  • How To Use a Custom Close Button In Window Component

    Hello,
    I have a window component, with the default close button
    turned off, and a new custom close button added to the movie clip
    that is displayed inside the window component. How do I get a click
    on the close button to close the window?
    This is the code I currently have to create the window (and
    the listeners to close the window using the default close button):

    basicalyyou have to use
    myWindow.deletePopUp();
    if my memory serves the content mc is loaded into a mc called
    contentHolder, inside the window component, so
    if you are referencing the window from the scope of your
    loaded mc it will be
    this._parent._parent.deletePopUp();
    or if from the button's scope
    this._parent._parent._parent.deletePopUp();
    try traceing the parantage down til you hit the window.

  • Problem with Window Component

    Im programatically creating a Window component with a close
    button using
    the Tween class as animation.
    When not using the Tween class all is fine but when I use the
    Tween
    clase window appears without the close button?
    Any ideas why?
    This is the code":
    interactividad.onRelease = function(){
    import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
    import mx.containers.Window;
    pop.start();
    var intera:MovieClip = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, Window,

    mx.transitions.TransitionManager.start(intera,

    twListener.click = function(evt:Object){
    pop.start();
    evt.target.deletePopUp();
    intera.addEventListener("click", twListener);

    Fixed. I was tyring to publish version 6 as 2. Tried v8 as2
    and it worked with no errors. I then backed my way back down to 6
    as 2 and not problems.

  • Trouble loading parallels even with new version

    I am having continual trouble loading windows 7 with my parallels.  Spouse has parallels version 3.0 for mac  (2008) (older) and has no trouble with windowsXP I have reinstalled windows 7 and am wondering if I should try purchasing and installing this older version and the XP version.  Any suggestions?  Am I missing something in the basic set up?  Thanks

    The W7 "partition" should be at least 40-60GB on your disk, the Ram used for W7 should be more than 1GB (I have it on 1.3GB, but if you have "heavy" apps better set to even more), PD6 itself uses continiously around 0.5GB in RAM, so I think having 2GB total RAM in your MBP is not enough. But you never said how much you have in your MBP.
    Update PD6 to the latest version (read: http://kb.parallels.com/en/111541).
    For other issues you could research the Parallels Fourums.

  • Loading a swf with FLVPlayback component, and the flv restarts playing by itself......

    Hi.
    i have an fla file with 5 keyframes. Each keyframe navigates forward to the following keyframe. On the fifth keyframe, a Loader loads an external swf. The external swf has an flv playback component with sound.
    The fifth keyframe, other than having a button to click to load the swf, has a movie clip that navigates you back to the first keyframe.
    The loaded swf, once loaded, may be removed using removeThis function which has removeChild code as well as a  _flv.stop(); which makes the flv stop when the swf is removed. So u're back on keyframe 5, no sound - good!.
    ASo, all is well and the user can navigate back to the first keyframe (from keyframe 5), and from there continue on to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th keyframes again,  problems start though, when you get to that 5th keyframe again: that keyframe has an FLVPlayback component playing an flv, which at that point becomes very sluggish as all the mc animations on that 5th frame. And worse, i realize, the flv in the external swf that was previously loaded, starts playing by itself, which i know, because i hear its sound track.
    I tried putting a conditional statement to tell the _flv to stop on keyframes 1 and 5, but that causes errors, considering that the flv is an undefined property from the perspective of those keyframes.
    Any help would be very appreciated:)
    thanks.

  • Window Component in Loaded Movie

    I have a window component inside a "main" movie that is
    loaded into a loader movie.
    When the main movie is run on its own, the window displays
    correctly. However, when the loader movie is run, the window shows
    at a 5-pixel size. I'm using the alert component as well-- could
    this possibly interfere with it?
    What I've tried:
    - adding the window component to the loader movie library
    - removing the window component from the loader movie library
    - adding the window component to the loader movie stage
    - removing the window component from the loader movie stage
    - adding the alert component to the loader movie library
    - removing the alert component from the loader movie library
    - adding the window and alert components to the loader movie
    library
    - removing the window and alert components from the loader
    movie library

    Components don't work when loaded into a parent. The only
    real solution
    would be to create your own combo box.

  • How do I use edge commons composition loader to load multiple compositions with a next and back button?

    I am working on an interactive book and have set up each page as a separate composition in edge.
    I am using  the edge commons JS library to load multiple compositions into a main composition.
    You can see how this works here: Edge Commons - Extension Library for Edge Animate and Edge Reflow | EdgeDocks.com
    The way the edge commons tutorial is set up requires a button for each composition i want to load. I am interested in loading multiple compositions with a "next" and "back" button, and a "swipe left, "swipe right" gesture on the content symbol that each composition is loaded into. I also need the swipe features on the content symbol not to interfere with the interactive elements on the loaded composition.
    Please suggest a solution that will work without adding additional scripts beyond edge commons and jquery.

    Sort of. I'm using this code inside an action for a button symbol. But it doesn't work perfectly. Trying to debug it.
    Let me know if you have any luck.
