Flash Deforming Fills inside Buttons/Clips

I'm having a problem that the fills inside my symbols are
being deformed. I am using a lot of symbols on stage and the fills
inside the symbols are being deformed and skewed. I have a sample
of what i'm working on up at:
http://omarrodriguez.net/condechi/MoreLotes2as2.swf
If you drag the map going north west you can see the lots on
the map are filled. Some of them break out of the boundaries of the
lot. They are all fills that are made to fit within the lines. Each
symbol is a movie clip with a button inside of it. If I remove one
of the symbols I have created so far the ones that distort change.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Omar

Hi,
This would normally happen when you have a Button symbol on stage and the 'Enable Simple Buttons' setting is enabled.
Can you check in your Control menu, if the option 'Enable Simple Buttons' is enabled? If it is, click on the option to disable it and then try double clicking on your symbols.
In case you still face the issue, can you send across your test file for investigation.
Thanks!

Remote debug a Flash file running inside an application

Hello everyone.
I'm an application developer, and my standard usage of Flash is as follows:
I'm creating an executable application, which contains a ShockwaveFlash object instance, which in turn is displaying a Flash Movie Clip - also created by myself. The executable application and the contained Flash clip are communicating via the ActionScript ExternalInterface (using XML strings) and the FSCommand.
I'd like to be able to debug the ActionScript code of the Flash file while I'm running/debugging my executable application. For that, I need to be able to start a remote debugging session from the Flash object running inside my executable. Problem is, I did not find any way of doing this.
When I publish the Flash SWF file with "permit debugging" checked, I'm able to start a remote debugging session when I'm displaying the file in a player or a browser (the "debugging" option is shown at the right-click menu of the Flash object), but I'm not able to do the same with the object inside my executable (the "debugging" option doesn't exist on the menu).
Environment Details:
The executable application is using the ShockwaveFlash COM file to create the ShockwaveFlash object.
The executable application is created using VB.NET, Visual Studio 2008, .NET 3.5.
The Flash SWF file is created using Adobe Flash Professional CS4.
I'm developing under Windows XP (SP3).
Any bits of information will be much appreciated!

I'm not sure how to do specifically what you are looking for (if possible at all.....)
But, I recommend checking out deMonsterDebugger. It is an AIR application with some classes for use. You simply import the classes into your Flash project, instantiate a debugger object, and then compile.
If you open the AIR application when the SWF is running (locally, in a browser, and I imagine in another application) the AIR application serves as a debugging engine, similar to the in-Flash debugging.
There is a bit more to it than that, but I think that this is your best bet for what you are looking for.

How can I keep just the large fox on my homepage? The flashing message about the buttons is a little too much!!

I was at least able to clear the new flashing message about simplifying buttons by clicking back to home or refreshing the page to get the stationary fox wrapped around the world back, now it will not do it. I have a medical condition that sometimes is aggravated when there is a flashing screen. Please help...
Thank-you & have a nice day! :)

If you prefer not to see snippets on the about:home page then you can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty string on the about:config page.
Delete the storage\moz-safe-about+home folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default set.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to the default value to re-enable the snippets.

Hi, i can't click on the 'Draw Inside' button

i am unable to click on the 'Draw Inside' button at the bottom left to place a pattern into an image that i got off google, how can i place a pattern that i have made into my image?

Sophie,
It only works with a single vector object, not a raster image. My guess is that you have the latter.

How do I install recommended updates, when I click on adobe flash plugin update now buttons, I hit a dead end on oracle's website, how do I complete the update?

How do I install recommended updates, when I click on adobe flash plugin update now buttons, I hit a dead end on oracle's website, how do I complete the update?

First, grab the Adobe uninstaller from here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
Then download Flash 10.3.183.90 from here - about halfway down the page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
(Released 6/11/2013) Flash Player 10.3.183.90 (61.1 MB)
IMO, the best version of Flash for WinXP. Adobe kept up with security updates for 10.3 for WinXP users long after Flash 11.0 came out in 2011 for Vista and newer versions of Windows.
Run the uninstaller, then reboot your operating system.
Then you can run the Flash installer, with Firefox closed, of course.
''Note, if you still use IE you'll need to reinstall the ActiveX version of Flash for IE. That uninstaller removes all versions of Flash that might be installed,''

Does the one swf load the other swf? If so, is the one swf in the same folder as the html file that embeds it?

Flash Player "Install Now" Button reverts to Adobe Home Page

Trying to install update to 11.9.900.152, but Flash Player "Install Now" Button sends me right back to Adobe Home Page.
Windows Vista 32-bit
Firefox 25.0 (cache cleared)

I have the exact same sort of stupid loop:
    https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
        Install Now

on 2 different versions of MacOS X: 10.6.8, 10.8.3.
It looks like the Adobe web server is using an URL redirect which is much too acrobatic.

Unable to edit Flash file - Can't enter inside buttons/movie clips.

Hi
I am in the middle of creating a website using Flash CS5. I opened up my .Fla file one day to continue my work but I am no unable to access buttons and movie clips. When creating movie clips or buttons I am unable to get inside them, when I hover my mouse over them there is a white hand icon which never used to be there it was always just a normal mouse icon. I double click to enter inside the buttons/movie clips but nothing happens. This happens to existing movie clips and buttons on the page and even when I create new ones. Can anyone please help.. I really don't wanna have to start this website again!!
thanks!

AS3 Putting Buttons Inside Movie Clip

I am practicing AS3 (after years of AS2) and am having trouble having a button inside a movie clip talk to another movie clip on the main timeline. Here is the code:
OneButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, OneButtonClicked);
function OneButtonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void
MovieTarget.gotoAndStop(1);
MovieDescription.gotoAndStop("One");
TwoButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, TwoButtonClicked);
function TwoButtonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void
MovieTarget.gotoAndStop(2);
MovieDescription.gotoAndStop("Two");
The code above works, but if I put OneButton and TwoButton inside a movie clip, I know longer can target MovieTarget and MovieDescription. The reason I want to put OneButton and TwoButton inside it's own MC is so I can dim each button after it is clicked by toggling the playhead inside that MC. Help? Thanks!

Start over from the begining
press f8 and chose movieClip then draw your untoggled button call the movie button then create another movie and create your toggled button or greyed out button and call it greyedButton. Go to main stage add 2 button instances and 2 greyedButton instances( just drag from library). you have 4 instances on stage. give call instance names and place one them on top of each other so u can only see 2 buttons on stage. put the greyed button under the button.
now with action script
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, OneButtonClicked);
function OneButtonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void
MovieTarget.gotoAndStop(1);
MovieDescription.gotoAndStop("One");
button1.visible = false; // here the greyed button will show
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, TwoButtonClicked);
function TwoButtonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void
MovieTarget.gotoAndStop(2);
MovieDescription.gotoAndStop("Two");
button1.visible = true; // here button1 will go back to its orignal state
button2.visible = false // here the greyed button will show

Buttons inside movie clip dont work

I have a simple HTML website with 5 buttons one of which, a movie clip, drops down 3 more buttons but the buttons dont always work. I get wierd issues for instance: whether I'm on the mcs page or another page completly the drop down buttons only work when Im on the parent movie clips page. When the buttons do work and you click on the button of the page your on they only work once then the whole issue repeats itself. Hopefully to clarify here is the code inside of the movie clip that directs the drop down buttons.
stop();
var cdButton:URLRequest= new URLRequest("character desin.html");
cd_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cd);
function cd(event:MouseEvent):void
        navigateToURL(cdButton,"_self");
var caButton:URLRequest= new URLRequest("concept art.html");
ca_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ca);
function ca(event:MouseEvent):void
        trace("ca_btn");
        navigateToURL(caButton,"_self");
var dsButton:URLRequest= new URLRequest("draw sketch.html");
ds_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ds);
function ds(event:MouseEvent):void
        trace("ds_btn");
        navigateToURL(dsButton,"_self");

From what I see you are trying to somehow program a Actionscript only iframe navigation. That will never work without an external Interface call to the Browsers Javascript. This is complicated stuff and surely not what you have in mind. If concept art, draw sketch etc. are all separate swf files, you should load them (instead of the html you embedded them in)

How to add button inside move clip and call it from main timeline?

Hi,
On the main timeline I have a movie clip called clock_mc and playBtn
playBtn is placed in the center of clock_mc
When you press playBtn clock_mc starts playing
playBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playClock);
function playClock(event:MouseEvent):void
    if (event.target == playBtn)
        clock_mc.play();
        playBtn.visible = false;
        trace ("play button was clicked");
This is working fine for me.
But I want to add replayBtn to the last frame of clock_mc and set up the function on main Timeline.
Another words when the clock_mc rich last frame you see replayBtn.
code example:
replayBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playClock);
    if (event.target == replayBtn)
        clock_mc.play();
        replayBtn.visible = false;
        trace ("replay button was clicked");
I've tryed to placed the replayBtn on the stage on the main timeline and I've set it up to replayBtn.visible = false;
And then I add replayBtn.visible = true; to last AS frame of clock_mc but it wont work
Even when I put the button physically to the last frame of clock_mc it will not work either.
Please help

I've solved the problem:-)
I've set replayBtn.visible = false; on first frame of clock_mc
and replayBtn.visible = true; at the last frame
and than as you sugested I'v add:
clock_mc.replayBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, replayClock);
function replayClock(event:MouseEvent):void
        clock_mc.play();
        trace ("replay button was clicked");
I couldn't see replayBtn at the firs stage because I have clockTween assosiated with clock:
clockTween = new Tween(clock_mc, "x", Regular.easeOut, -469,438, .5, true);
and I had replyBtn in the wrong place so when clock_mc was coming up on the stage replayBtn was on the left side of the stage :/
Now I have to solve only one thing.
Maybe you would have any suggestions please.
I've set up stop(); in a first frame of clock_mc
that when you see clock_mc sliding in it has to wait for playBtn to be clicked
because I have two tween:
        clockTween = new Tween(clock_mc, "x", Regular.easeOut, -469,438, .5, true);
        playTween = new Tween(playBtn, "x", Regular.easeOut, -720,514, .5, true);
        playBtn.visible = true;
so when you click on playBtn:
function playClock(event:MouseEvent):void
    if (event.target == playBtn)
        clock_mc.play();
        playBtn.visible = false;
        trace ("play button was clicked");
everythink is working fine except when I clik on replayBtn it play for I sec because there is stop(); on the first frame of clock_mc

Variables inside movie clips?? in Flash CS4 (AS3)

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if it is possible to have variables such as Int 's stored inside or together with a movie clip??
Thank you!

Yes, you can store them inside manually when you create the movieclip or you can assign a variable to a movieclip during run time without having created the variable previously.
myMovieclip.newVariable = some value;

How to make a video stop in flash through an external button

Hi everyone!
I have a little problem: I made a flash site with its
different sections, the first of which has a movie clip which is a
"VideoPlaylist". So inside this movie clip I have the player and
the videos sequenced one after the other in a TileList component.
The problem is:
When I go to a different page, the video in the first page
continues to play and so you can still hear the sound, AND WHICH IS
WORSE, when you click the button to return to the first page, the
video starts again with the sound of the previous time still
rolling.
The solution would be, I suppose, when clicking to any of the
buttons that link to another section of the flash document, add
some action script to make the video stop (having in mind that the
video player is inside a movie clip).
I don't know action script, just the navigation basics
necessary for the sections. I did the videoplaylist following this
tutorial:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/video_playlist.html
Can anyone help me, please!!

You better ask in the Flash forum; this is the Flash Player forum.
