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.

You can try Restoring it in iTunes but I believe you will end up needing to have it serviced.

HT201320 the email send button on my iphone wont work

, the email send button on my iphone4 wont work

The send button won't be active until you address it and type something in the body of the email. Assuming you did that and it still isn't working, try resetting the phone as Ocean20 suggested: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo, release and wait for it to restart. If that doesn't resolve it you probably need to restore your phone. As a precaution before restoring, import your photos to your computer and back up your contacts (such as by syncing them with iCloud). Then connect your phone to iTunes, click on the name of your phone on the left side, go to the Summary tab to the right and click Restore.

When I try to play a flash video (like youtube) i have to click a flash button several times before it works. Why do flash videos not recogonize any clicks without several tries first?

When I try to go to a flash video, the video player never seems to recognize my mouse clicks without several tries.
It's hard to explain but if I'm at a youtube video and i place my cursor over the button that lets you skip around the video, the cursor will alternate being a cursor (like its not recognized) and a hand like its supposed to. It's sort of keeps flickering between the two if I move the mouse around on that little skip button.
I tried uninstalling firefox but it didn't make a difference. I noticed it after updating to the newer firefoxe updates. This does not happen under IE.
thank you for your help.

Please search the forum, in past weeks I personally replied
to the very same topic
few times.
Search for "Flash Player 9 - broken getURL doesn't open

When I plug it back into the PC, it wont register it either. is there a way to fix this? is it fried? what can I do?

My power button on my iphone wont work

Three days ago I was in the car coming home from camp and my power button began to not work well. I would have to press it a lot harder then i usually would. So i just stopped using it in general, to see if it would start working again. I tried to use it today and it had stopped working completely, I dont know what to do!! I'd like it to work:/

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

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. :)

Flash CS5 [Inspectable type="Number"] wont work

Hi!
I am expecting problems while creating components.
I've defined property
[Inspectable(type="Number", defaultValue="12")]
public function get size():*{
     return isNaN(Number(this._format.size)) ? 0 : Number(this._format.size);
public function set size(value:*):void{
     trace('VALUE:', value);
     this._format.size = value;
Flash will convert any user defined value to 0.
But if I'll change type to String
[Inspectable(type="String", defaultValue="12")]
public function get size():*{
     return isNaN(Number(this._format.size)) ? 0 : Number(this._format.size);
public function set size(value:*):void{
     trace('VALUE:', value);
     this._format.size = value;
Expected value will be passed. How to fix Number type?

I've disabled update feature, looks like this is my problem. Just updated and problem fixed now.

Flash player is updated but wont work??

Flash Version: 15.0.0
Browser Name: Internet Explore
Operating System: Windows (Windows 8)
I've done every thing the trouble shooting says to do and it still says to check flash player?

Flash Player wouldn't throw a "you need a codec" message. Something else is up.
I'd start by running a reputable antivirus and anti-malware scanner.
http://www.malwarebytes.org is free and well respected, as is Windows Defender: Turn Windows Defender on or off - Windows Help

My sound buttons f11 and f10 wont work but f12 does!

I can turn up my volume but cant turn it down or mute with my aluminium wired numpad keyboard. I've tried everything and the Fn procedure!

Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following;
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Click Go the move both .plist files from the Audio folder to the Trash.
Try the keyboard ...
If that didn't help, open System Preferences > Sound > Output. Make sure the correct output device is selected.

Can't get flash buttons to work...'Cannot find path' Flash MX 2004

I am trying to get the flash buttons for my website to work, but every time I do the getURL thing it keeps saying 'Cannot find (directory)'. The website is offline and I'm using Macromedia Flash MX 2004, I also might be able to use Flash 8 but these are the only two versions I have access to.
The action script for the button is:
on(release){
getURL("..\****\****\(Website directory)\(sub directory)\(Website page).html")
I am making the website in Dreamweaver 8 and this is really holding me back as it's nearly finished but the buttons still don't work.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Sorry I should have mentioned tha. The structure is as follows:
Website name\
                     \Animations
                     \Audio
                     \Buttons
                     \Images
                     \Scripts
                     \Templates
                     \Videos
The buttons are contained in the buttons folder and the page I want to link it to is in the templates folder. I have tried putting the button flash file in the website root directory and trying that but it didn't work.
Hope this helps.
Thanks in advance.

IPod lock button wont work. any alternatives

So long story short. dropped it in water waited for two months, works fine now but the top button to lock it wont work.. any ideas?

Could be that there is corrosion of the contacts that is preventing making contact. This place does not specifically list that repair.
http://www.iresq.com/ipod-repair.html
You could try it yourself. Here are the instruction for a 2G iPod:

Flashes wont work inside templets, why?

When i put Flashes inside templets, they just wont work.
viewing the page gives me the exact page, but without the flashes,
and when i run a validation it says: 'The tag name: "embed" Not
found in currently active versions.[XHTML 1.0 transitional]'
I've tried changing the "active versions" but it dosn't seem
to help, if anyone knows what all this is about and knows how to
fix it would i be very glad to hear. (:
Thanks

Edit the code. Or remake the Flash insertion.

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.

Hello,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")
