Duplicating a movieclip wont work properly (v3)

I have a mc called "Bola_btn" on root and I want to duplicate
it using trhis
code.
play_btn = 'play_btn';
Bola_btn.duplicateMovieClip(play_btn,
_root.getNextHighestDepth());
var botn = eval(play_btn);
botn._x=200;
botn._y= 300;
It duplicates it but it doesnt move it... what am i doing
wrong???
Cheers to everyone.

Thanks for the answer.
The help says:
duplicateMovieClip(target:MovieClip, newname:String,
depth:Number) : Void
That means it doesnt return anything, right?
play_btn is not a child of bola is a movieclip duplicated
whick they stay in
the same level, the look the same but the are different.
(different
actions).
Is called _btn because is going to ahndle actions but is a mc
really.
Hmmm....
Thanks for the interest. :)

Connected new monitor and now outlook 2010 wont work properly

Hello, we just connected an new 2013 Asus monitor for my computer that's running Windows XP. Since doing so we cannot use OUTLOOK 2010. Everything else seems to work. Can anyone tell why its not working properly? We have a SSD drive running XP with an
external 2 tera bite hard drive where most programs and files reside. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE US.

Hi,
Would you please detail the symptom of this issue? Is the issue that you click on the Outlook icon but it doesn't start, or there's an error message, or it crashes?
Since this happens after connecting to a new monitor, I recommend you upgrade the graphics card driver to the latest to check the result. In addition, official drivers are more recommended.

Site wont work properly?!

Hello,
I searched for the same or similar problem first but havent find my kind of problem, so I have decided to make a new thread.
My site solution is very simple, its something more like a test: www.bursac.net/student
Techically, Flash itself doesnt report any kind of problem at all. But, practically site (site is one big flash .swf movie right?) wont work as intended.
Simply, when I roll over the main word "student", text should appear and dissapear when I roll out of the word. It works for a couple of times when I do that, but after a while (or sometimes immediately) it switches around and then text dissapears when I roll over instead of opposite.
So, are there any idea what could possibly be the problem?
Thank you so very much in advance.

Flash buttons nested in movieclips wont work

I made some movie clips in flash and inside those movie clips are buttons but I can't get the buttons to work in flex. I can only get the buttons to work in flex if they are on the main timeline in my swc file. Is there a way to get the buttons and other movieclips to respond if they are nested in another movieclip?

It depends on how you are accessing the MoveClips. If you embed, scripting will get stripped out. If you load a SWF with those movieclips, it should still work.

Version 6 wants to instal on my computer i've tried but wont work properly had to uninstal I have windows xp

FLASHES ON SCREEN I SHOULD UPDATE TO VERSION 6 BUT SAID ADD ONS WERE NOT AVAILABLE WAS VERY SLOW COULDN'T USE IT LIKE IT WAS SO I HAD TO DO SYSTEM RESTORE TO GET THINGS BACK AND UNINSTALL FIREFOX 6, PREFER THE ONE I AM WITH NOW WHICH IS 5 I THINK

I ended up finding a solution.....went to Firefox tab on top left of browser screen. Went to help, restart with add-ons disabled. This takes you to the Firefox Safe Mode text box. Select "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults. This seems to have worked, as there is no longer an AVG Secure Search directed screen. Also, I installed Avast. Have had it on my tower PC and another laptop for 2 years with no issue. Screw AVG!!!

Problems:
1) Doesn't work well, when it comes to the last word. It requires an additional click, after the wrong guess, in order to show the game over thing.
2) Gives an error message:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
at Hangman$ActionHandler.actionPerformed(Hangman.java:85)
at java.awt.Button.processActionEvent(Button.java:381)

when there.
3) Doesn't set to correct number of "_"'s (i.e equal to the word) when you guess the right word; only after you have entered the first number does it set the number of "_"'s correctly, namely the same amount as characters in the word.

Also another weird thing I noticed. Check this part of the code:
private static char[] wordChange (String originalCharArray) {    char[] temp;      temp = new char[originalCharArray.length ()];    for (int i = 0; i < originalCharArray.length (); i++)      {     temp<i> = originalCharArray.charAt (i);      }    return temp; }When I change the length() to length, it doesnt work, although it shouldnt be length(). How come? I thought length() is for strings, and length is for arrays.

Actions wont work properly, please help.

When I run certain actions, I get the errors of "Command feather is not available", or "Command transform is not available".
I've tried to reset my preferences but it did not work.
What is going on? Any info would be helpful.

There has to be a selection active for those command to work on
something.

Button wont work properly with text.

Hello,
I've been having a problem getting my buttons to work with
text.
What I'm doing:
1) I create a Circle graphic
2) I put some text over it (on the same layer)
3) I highlight the circle and the text and convert to symbol.
4) I then set the over, down, and hit states
When I turn on enable simple buttons it works perfectly on
the stage. But when I test the movie the text blocks the mouse
pointer from changing states. It'll change in-between the text, but
not over.
Any help would be appreciated.

Your text must be dynamic text rather than static text. Make
sure the text is not "selectable" and then it won't interfere with
the button. If you click on the text in the button, look down at
the bottom of the screen for the properties panel. You should see a
little Ab in a square. If it is highlighted, the text is
selectable. Click that Ab button to make it unselectable. If your
text is input text, then you are out of luck because input text, by
definition, is always selectable.

My Creative Cam wont work properly in MSN Messenger! I cant get the effects to work PLEASE HELP!

When I open the webcam centre everything works fine I can get all the effects...BUT when I open messenger (MSN) I get a good picture but when I open the effects window I cant get the effects to work in there.... I went to the creative site which tells me I can use this cam ok in MSN Messenger....Please help before I pull my hair outThankyouBillie-Jean x

I had the exact same issue but finally after much reading found that the Advanced Video FX utility must be activated first, then open the Web Cam Center.
On the upper left side just above your image is a Device Selection box. You may not redily recognize it as such.. Click on the down arrow just to the left of the Format tab and select the "Creative WebCam(With Video Effects)". Now try the effects. This did the trick for me. Hope it works for you!

G510 HD8750M wont work properly. - Driver problems..

Hey Community, Support and People.
I'm kinda pissed about all the problems coming with buying a Lenovo Laptop.
I bought a HP Probook for my mum some days ago, this one was ready after 20 minutes.
Here i got problem for days.
I got Windows 7 64-bit working, and all drivers but the 2nd gpu-driver.
It's installed and hardware manager doesnt say anything about problems.
When i start Games like World of Warcraft or Battlefield 4 , i can set the graphics to the level the card should be able to work on. No problems so far.
But then it comes... "AMD DRIVER STOPPED RESPONDING AND HAS RECOVERED".
I'm going to dream about this sentence...
At first i wasn't even able to start games with that Radeon.. until i started Catalyst Control Center and set those applications to Maximum power instead of energy saving."
And i was able to start Battlefield 4 with 44FPS.
So it was definately the Radeon working, not the Intel 4000....
i was looking all over the internet for a fix..
reinstalled graphics drivers.. got the actual 14.04 Catalyst driver... and even installed the Windows FIx (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2665946)
Anybody got suggestions?
CPU: i7
Ram: 4GB
GPU: Intel 4000 and Radeon HD8750M.
+ is it normal the Intel GPU works on 70°C ?
Happy about ideas from u...
greetings..

Anyone know why this is happening and how i can sort it...its annoying me and should be like this..thanks

Hey maigo6,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the touchcreen does not respond all the time. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond to touch - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

Your guess at a workaround is close to correct. Once you've created all the tracks you want, select all the regions and use the Join menuItem to consolidate them into a single track.
