Make a movieclip visible when an object is dragged onto it

i am ridiculously new to codeing in flash (or any program) and am trying to make a movieclip only visible when a object is dragged onto it, can someone show me the code for that?

Something like the following might work (not tested)...
movieclip.alpha = 0;
object.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragObject);
function dragObject(evt:MouseEvent):void {
      object.startDrag();
      stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, checkObject);
      stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, endDrag);
function checkObject(evt:MouseEvent):void {
      if(object.hitTestObject(movieclip)){
          movieclip.alpha = 1;
      } else {
          movieclip.alpha = 0;
function endDrag(evt:MouseEvent):void {
      stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, checkObject);
      stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, endDrag);

How can I make DAQ VIs visible when using NI-DAQ 4.9 with LabVIEW 6.0?

My operational system is Windows 98, I am using a AT-DSP2200 card and is configured. I have installed a NI-DAQ 4.9 (the last for this card) and I use Labview 6.0, but I can not find the DAQ VIs on the functions palette. How can I solve this?

Hello;
That version of the driver is too old to work with Labview 6i. The oldest version of NI-DAQ that one can combine with Labview 6i is version 6.1.
You will need either to use another version of Labview, or to investigate a replacement hardware that you can use with newer versions of NI-DAQ.

Finder dock icon does not open a Finder window when a file is dragged onto it

In Snow Leopard and Lion, when you dragged a file onto the Finder dock icon, a Finder window popped open and you could then navigate to where you wished to place the file.
In Mountain Lion, this behaviour has changed. Now either nothing happens, or Mission Control Expose kicks in with a blank screen since there are no Finder windows already open to show.
Is this just my install or does everyone find this annoying removal-of a-useful-feature behaviour change? Seems like a mistake to me.

I never knew the feature existed, so I don't miss it. It also isn't something I'd use in my normal workflow.
However, it is disconcerting to lose functionality that was useful to you.

Mail dock icon does not create new message when a file is dragged onto it

After installing Snow Leopard, dragging a file to the the Mail icon in the dock no longer creates a new message with the file attached. Mail is brought forward as the active application, just no new message window.
This was the behavior in earlier versions of mail.
Is there a preference, or any other change, that can be changed to allow drag-and-drop of a file to create a new message with an attachment?
--James

There are some issues with drag and drop. I was having the same issue with Mail with SL, but I didn't check after 10.6.1. However, I just installed a new hard drive, and migrated. Mail works for me, now.
It didn't work with my 10.6 which had been upgraded with multiple builds in the beta. I assumed it was related to the other drag and drop issues. Now that I check it again, I don't think so.

Make movieclip visible for a specific time duration

Is there any possibility to make a movieclip visible for a specific time (e.g. 5sec.)? I want to make "srch275" show for 5 seconds and then make it disapear. Can this be achived?
sruch_btn.onRelease = function () {
if (cosearchbx.text == "APPLE"){
srch275._visible = true;

use setTimeout():
sruch_btn.onRelease = function () {
if (cosearchbx.text == "APPLE"){
clearTimeout(srch275TO);
srch275TO=setTimeout(srch275F,5000);
srch275._visible = true;
function srch275F(){
srch275._visible=false;

How do you make a movieclip display and play when click on a button

I'm looking to have a movie clip pop up, play itself after a user clicks on a flash navigation button.
(something like this???)
message_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goMessage1);
function goMessage1(evt:MouseEvent):void
???(play message movie clip here)???;

How you code that depends a bit on how you design the movieclip. You could make the movieclip have an empty first frame that it is stop()-ed at, and tell it to play() in the event handler function. Or you could have the movie's visible property initially set to false and stop()-ed at frame 1 and have the event handler set the visible property to true and tell the movieclip to play();
The key is to have a plan where the movieclip is waiting to play and has an instance name assigned to it that you can use to command it to play when you want it to.

Key focus is not visible for all objects when tabbing

I'm using LabView 5.1.
The key focus is not visible for all objects when tabbing through a "disabled and grayed-out" object.
For example, let's say I create a panel with 3 buttons. If I create a "disabled" attribute for button 2 and assign the value "2" (disabled and grayed-out) to it. When I will run this VI, the key navigation will go through button 1 and button 3 (skipping button 2 as expected) but the key focus on button 3 will not be visible.
Is this a bug with LabView or am I doing something wrong ?

Hi Ben,
Don't worry, time is not an issue... I'm posting an example of a VI with the problem I described. I noticed that the problem occurs only with "dialog buttons".
When you have time, let me know if you see the same behavior. If you do, I will report the problem to National Instrument.
Thanks for your time !

Currently I have 10 bookmark folders, but when I try to bookmark a new webpage, I only get the option of 5 of them. Is there anything I can do to make them all visible?

Currently I have 10 bookmark folders, but when I try to bookmark a new webpage, I only get the option of 5 of them. Is there anything I can do to make them all visible? I am now having to bookmark it to the "bookmark menu" and then manually moving it to the folder I want cause it is not being displayed.

No there is no arrow besides any of the folders (I do not have any sub-folders); I do have a "choose..." option, but that does not work either in showing all of the folders.

How can I force an "invisible" object to become "visible" when a numeric value is entered?

So I’m trying to force an “invisible” subform to switch to “visible” when a numeric value greater than or equal to 22 is input into a numeric field.
I can’t get the following javascript code to work properly with any event. I’ve tried the change, calculate, validate, events and a few more to no avail. The only event that kind of works with the javascript code I’m using is the validate event. When I input the code into the validateevent, the invisible subform becomes visible when an amount equal to or greater than 22 is entered, but when ANY amount is input into this field, an error message pops up that says “NumericField4 validation failed” and the user has to click “Ok” to get rid of the pop up box.
if (this.rawValue <= 22) {
        Approval23.presence = "hidden";
if (this.rawValue >= 23) {
            Approval23.presence ="visible";
Here’s a link to my .pdf: http://www.filedropper.com/salgovform
The object field that the javascript code is contained in is called: NumericField4 (a.k.a. New Job Grade)
The subform that I want to become visible when a number greater than 22 is input into NumericField4, is called Approval23.
I’ve based the javascript code I used on information I gathered from the following thread and associated .pdf . . .
Thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1982919
PDF in thread with the javascript code:
http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/1981437-8059/Sample_SW.pdf
I’m pretty sure I’m just missing one little thing that’s throwing everything off!
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Hi,
The following works in the exit event of the numeric field, where the language is set to JavaScript:
if (this.rawValue <= 22) {
     Approval23.presence = "hidden";
else {
     Approval23.presence = "visible";

Error 1320 when trying to make a caption visible in LV 71

Hi,
If you try to make a caption visible of a new control via a property node you will get error 1320
(LabVIEW: In edit mode, LabVIEW cannot return a property for a control part that you have not yet created)
WHY?? In LV 7 it does work, and in 7.1 it doesn't�.
Kind regards,

I discovered this problem not too long ago.
Follow the discussion here for the whole story.
The work around is to first manually make the Caption visible by right clicking and navigate to Visible Items >>Caption. It seems in 7.1, the Caption is not created until you first turn it on manually.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

How do you make columns invisible/visible or hidden with checkbox?

Hi , i'm trying to make a column in a table either visible or invisible when i click a checkbox or button.
i have a single row table with mutiple columns of text objects within, i have set the "repeat data for each row item" to min 4, so i have four diplayed on page.
i have set the checkbox with the following script but it only makes the first row of "Received" visible when i click on the checkbox. and not the other
3 "Received" textobjects.
example:
form1.purchaseOrder.ProductHeader.Receivedchkbox::click - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.rawValue == "1") {
    form1.purchaseOrder.Productdetails.detail.received.presence = "visible";
    form1.purchaseOrder.Productdetails.detailHeader.StaticReceived.presence = "visible";
else
    form1.purchaseOrder.Productdetails.detail.received.presence = "invisible";
    form1.purchaseOrder.Productdetails.detailHeader.StaticReceived.presence = "invisible"
So what i'm trying to acheive is for the form to make the "Received" textobject "invisible or hidden" at default.
Then when the form filler clicks the checkbox it become visible and vice versa.
So How do i apply a script like this to hide all 4 "Received" instances and also the new ones i add by addinstance script?
I have attached the form, if someone could give me some help in working it out?
Thanks!!!

Hi,
It does help to see the form!
Basically you need to loop through all of the instances of the detail row and change the presence of the received object individually.
First the script would calculate the number of rows:
var vRows = Productdetails._detail.count;
The use of _ before the repeating detail is shorthand for instanceManager.
Then the if statement would change slightly, with the insertion of a for statement which works through all four rows.
if (Receivedchkbox.rawValue == true) {
     form1.purchaseOrder.Productdetails.detailHeader.StaticReceived.presence = "visible";
     for(var i=0; i<vRows; i++) {
          xfa.resolveNode("form1.purchaseOrder.Productdetails.detail[" + i + "]").receivedSubform.presence = "visible";
else ...
Form attached.
Good luck,
Niall

How do I make 2 points in two different objects to stick to eachother?

As the topic says, I need to make 2 points in two different objects to stick to eachother, so for example when I rotate a line which is "connected" to a square object in one end, the line will rotate around that point.
Also, if I have lets say two square objects and I "connect" one of the corners of one square object to another corner of another square object, where the points are located exactly on the same location, I need to be able to rotate any of the square objects around the point which is connected to the other square.
Is this possible?
Some will probably ask why I need to do this, but I can only say I do, it's a long story

Its quite complicated guys , I'm quite sure Illy doesn't do what I'm looking for.
It's basically a line which is "anchored" at one point and connected to a square at the other point. So when I move the square the line is being dragged with it without altering its length. And of course the "anchored" point of the line stays where it was from the beginning, while the other end is attached to the square moving with it.
This way the squares point, the one which is connected to the line, can neither end up closer or farther from the lines "anchored" point. The square can only move around that point in an exact circle, with constant radius.
I'm using this for measuring/map creation. It doesn't have to be 100% exact down to the millimetre, but I'd be happy if I could get it centimetres exact if you know what I mean. Of course this is on a scale of like 100x100 metres or more.
I can do it without this "feature" too, but it takes more time and is not totally exact either.
I can't use CAD for this, so it'll have to be Illy.
