Flash window component

I have created a flash window component that pops up, every
thing works ( it moves, it displays the content and closes) but it
disables everything else. is there anyway i can enable the entire
movie aswell as the window?
Jak

BTW, this also happened with the List component, and in
v10.1.0 aswell.

As for a solution...
Turns out that the factor that makes this happen is if
backgroundAnimation is off.
Turn it on, and the issue disappears.
I did this in the projectorName.ini file, with the line:
[Settings]
BackgroundAnimation=1
or, if you're creating a projector, and not using a .ini
file, by checking Background Animation in the publishing settings
dialog.

Boot Camp Question .... I just bought a 2013 late model Mac Book Pro Retina and am wondering if it is worth installing windows through boot camp. If I install the windows component in order to run an exe file and its component "Declans Korean Flash Cards"

I just bought a 2013 late model Mac Book Pro Retina and am wondering if it is worth installing windows through boot camp.
If I install the windows component in order to run an exe file and its component "Declans Korean Flash Cards"... will it make my mac suseptible to viruses overall due to having a windows component? also will it make my mac slower as well

If you are only going to use one or two window only programs then I wouldn't waste the space. Try WinonX it allows you to install exe. Files on Mac without installing windows.

Flash 8 component not working in flash cs3

Hi, I have a flash 8 component (well, it was written for
flash 8 but it claims to be compatible with flash 7+).... which I
am trying to get to show up in the components panel in Flash CS3
trial version. I have the flash CS3 extension manager, it shows up
in there, but it doesn't show up in my components window in flash
cs3. What do I need to do to get the flash 8 component to show up
in flash CS3??

Hi,
When you open a new file in Flash CS3, you got the option to
choose either AS2 file or AS3 file, the components are different on
each one.

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!

Creating flash cs3 component

Hi,
There is great and easy way to create flash based component
in flash cs3 using action script 3.0.
I am going to make a simple My button component which will
behave likely same as flash native button component.
You can modify this according your requirement this is just
you give an idea about how we can go for creating a component in
flash cs3.
Follow these steps…
1. Create a fla file and save this file with any name
2. Create a movieClip and draw a rectangle shape on first
frame.
3. Right click on movieclip in library, select linkage
4. Provide class name in text field area [MyButton] (you can
use any name here which should matched with your class)
5. Click Ok button
6. Write class [MyButton]
(you can copy and use this)

UIComponent class
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import fl.motion.Color;
public class MyButton extends Sprite{
private var _tf:TextField;
private var _Label:String="My Button";
private var _bgColor:uint=0xCCCCCC;
private var _rollOverColor:uint=0xFFCCCC;
private var _borderColor:uint=0x000000;
private var _borderThickness:int=1;
private var _width:Number = 100;
private var _height:Number =100;
private var _background:Sprite;
public function MyButton() {
init();
createChildren();
initEventListeners();
draw();
//-------------property section [Start]

public function set Label(lbl:String){
_Label=lbl;
draw();
public function get Label(){
return _Label

public function set bgColor(color:uint):void{
_bgColor=color;
draw();
[Inspectable]
public function set borderColor(color:uint):void{
_borderColor=color;

//-------------property section [End]
private function init():void {

_width = width;
_height = height;
scaleX = 1;

private function initEventListeners():void{
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, eventHandler);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, eventHandler);
private function eventHandler(event:Event):void{
if(event.type == MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER){
toggleColor(_rollOverColor);
if(event.type == MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT){
toggleColor(_bgColor)
private function createChildren():void {
_background = new Sprite();
_tf = new TextField();
_tf.autoSize = "center";
_tf.selectable=false;
addChild(_background);
addChild(_tf);
protected function draw():void {

_tf.text = _Label;

_tf.y = Math.floor((_height - _tf.height)/2);
//width = _tf.width;
private function toggleColor(color:uint):void{
_background.graphics.clear();
_background.graphics.beginFill(color, 1);
_background.graphics.lineStyle(_borderThickness,
_borderColor, 1);
_background.graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0, _width, _height,
10, 10);
_background.graphics.endFill();
public function setSize(w:Number, h:Number):void {
_width = w;
_height = h;
draw();
7. Now right click again on your movieclip in library and
select component definition.
8. In class name text field provide same class name
[MyButton]
9. Click on ok button
10. Right click again on movieClip in library and select
Export SWC file.
11. Same your exported SWC file in (For window only)
[c:\Documents and Settings\$user\Local Settings\Application
Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Commands\
12. Now just open another new flash file open component
panel/window reload component you will your component in component
panel with MyButton name.
13. Drag your custom component on stage provide inputs form
property window and text it.
Enjoy!

Window component / external swf - plz help :( !!

Hi,
any clues here would be appreciated, its kept me up lately.
My flash app consists of a main swf, a button on the stage
which when clicked creates a Popup and loads an external swf like
so
myWindow = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopup(_root,
mx.containers.Window, true, (title:"My Title",
contentPath:"Status.swf"});
so far so good...
After I create the window and load the external swf I use
LocalConnection to pass values between the swfs eg.
sendingLC = new LocalConnection();
sendingLC.send("lc_name", "myMethod", txtUniqueID);
now i can pass values between swfs fine if I run the swfs in
separate players (or debugging both swfs in flash mx), but I cannot
pass in a value to a swf that is loaded in a window component into
the main swf
Would be really grateful if someone could post a sample fla
of the Window component loading external swfs and passing values
between the swfs or some ideas about how to achieve the same thing.
Thanks
Mike

Window component drag issue

Hi all,
I've got a problem with a Flash application I'm developing.
I'm creating an application with multiple nested screens, each of
these screens is a Window component. The problem that I'm having is
that if I move a Window by dragging it then set its "_visible"
property to false then set it back to true, any other components
inside it appear empty (for example text areas lose the text
within, data grids lose the data within etc), sometimes you'll also
get two copies of the Window!
It's really easy to recreate!
If anyone knows any way around this, I'd greatly appreciate
it...
Thanks,
Lee.

Bump :-)
Anyone?
Thanks in advance!
Lee.

Problem: Custom Flash Professional Component

Hi,
I just installed a copy of Flash Builder 4.5, and am attempting to create a custom "flash professional component" in the Design mode of an mxml project. The documentations mentioned that in order to create this component, I have to press on the 'Create in Flash Professional' button in the properties window.
Here's the problem: clicking on the button brings up a window to name the component, then clicking 'create' brings up Flash Pro, but that's about it. I was told an edit window will show up in Flash Pro, but it doesn't happen. Flash Pro just initializes into the start page and does nothing else.
Am I doing anything wrong? Please help, thanks in advance!

Window component and masking

My objective:
1) load a blankMC from the library in to a custom component.
The custom component is made up of a window component.
2) from the blankMC, create a maskMC and a containerMC
3) load an external swf in to the containerMC
4) use maskMC as containerMC's mask
I have completed all of this inside Flash authoring
environment
If i run my swf as a stand alone, the masking no longer works
for certain swfs.

This is the AS that is used in the form. When I navigate to
the swf directly, it works like a charm. When I load the the swif
with the form into my popup window it stops working. It seems that
the actionscript goes through the motions but doesn't receive a
response from the server.
The setup is as follows: On the main timeline I have a
button, which opens the popup window, in which the
"contactform.swf" loads. The attached ActionScript is in the 1st
frame of the actions layer in contactfrom.swf
Any help is greatly appreciated.
- Jan
The swf can be viewed at
SWF
and to view the swf in the popup window goto
Click Button

Window Component

Hi all,
I am currently working on a FAQ application, the app is
working better than I expected and I have learnt a hell of a lot
just with this simple project. To make my application look more
pleasing I used the window component, which I need to keep as the
tile of the window is taken from a global variable depending on
what the user selects from two diferent combo boxes.
I have just found out that the window component can be moved
by the user which is not what I wanted to use it for, it was purely
for the design and layout. Is there any way to stop the windows
component dragable? Your help with this would be
appreciated.

I need to use the window component in flash...

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.

I work with a website where I need to open a flash window to examine the changes that I have made. I cannot use my mouse inside this flash window. Help?

I work on a website where I open a flash window to see how the changes I have made look. When I open the flash window, my mouse no longer works properly - I cannot click into the window - and scroll down to look at it. It also seems to "lock" up the page as I cannot click anywhere sometimes on this page (original or the flash window.) If I click on a different page completely and then go back, it seems to reset (actually sort of blinks) and then I can close the flash window. When I use the touchpad on my laptop, it works fine. When I use internet explorer, it works.

What kind of menu opens if you right click in the Flash area?<br />
Is that the Flash player menu?
You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

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!

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!

After viewing a site with a flash window in it, the next site shows a blank rectangle where the flash window of the previous site was. This persists through all subsequent sites. How can I eliminate this flash window persistence?

using the latest Firefox Beta, after opening Shambhala.org site, the flash window shows up as a blank rectangle on subsequent sites. I am using Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard. The only way I can get rid of the blank rectangle is to restart Firefox.

That sounds like a known problem on OS X. From the known issues section of the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/4.0b5/releasenotes/ Firefox 4 Beta 5 Release Notes]
"Plugin content can be rendered incorrectly leaving blank white squares over web content. Scrolling or switching tabs will often fix the problem, although sometimes you must close the tab which contains that plugin content (see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592453 bug 592453])"
This should be fixed in the next beta.
