Help with these buttons

hi
i am totaly stuck with this problem i have in flash MX
i have a design which is enclosed in a frame produced in
photoshop, the buttons around the frame need to load content to
below the frame.
to do this i made an empty fla file with just an action which
loads the frame.swf to level 2
everything is fine apart from the buttons i have in a movie
clip, what ever i try doesnt seem to load the other content swf
files
this is the WIP site to look at,
SITE
LINK which will prob make sense of my explination...i hope
i have tried _root. , _parent, almost anything really, i have
done a search for this problem but the solutions i've come across
dont work for me
i must be missing something please help
chris

try giving your movieClips Instance names, and target them
using that, instead of _root and _parent.
if you want all your movies that are loaded externaly to be
Below the frame, simply put your frame on the first or secont layer
in your fla.
If the frame itself is being loaded, you could set it's depth
to something ridiculous like 1000, that way you are sure that
nothing will load on top of it.
also, when you have problems with code, it's always better to
show the part of your code where the problem is, that would make it
much easier for people in here to help you.

you can't use the button itself if you want to maintain the
DOWN state after
release as button automatically resets itself once the mouse
lives the HIT zone.
Use movie clip instead and on press simply send it to a frame
where there
is DOWN state like image.

Help with these queries

Hi all,
I need a help with these queries, because is happening a strange problem when I try to execute it.
This first query is executed faster than the other one, around 30 minutes faster.
The queries are the same, but there is a single difference, I switch the hard code value '5.93218%' in a like condition by a variable P_COD_RAIZ || '%', because it can't be hard code.
SELECT max(oh.ohipp) as mesano_ultfatura
INTO V_MESANO_FATURA
FROM sysadm.orderhdr_all@dl_bsc oh,
customer_all@dl_bsc ca
WHERE ca.custcode like '5.93218%'
and ca.customer_id = oh.customer_id
and oh.ohipp = (select max(yy.ohipp)
from orderhdr_all@dl_bsc yy
where yy.customer_id = oh.customer_id
and oh.ohinvtype = 5);
SELECT max(oh.ohipp) as mesano_ultfatura
FROM sysadm.orderhdr_all@dl_bsc oh,
customer_all@dl_bsc ca
WHERE ca.custcode like P_COD_RAIZ || '%'
and ca.customer_id = oh.customer_id
and oh.ohipp = (select max(yy.ohipp)
from orderhdr_all@dl_bsc yy
where yy.customer_id = oh.customer_id
and oh.ohinvtype = 5);
What I want to know is, why the execution time of the second query is greater than the first, if the only difference between it is a variable instead of hard code?
Thanks,
Murilo.

I assume column custcode is also varchar2. Then it looks like a problem with bind values and not evenly distributed data.
When you first run the query with the parameter = '5%' you may get many values and another execution plan as with '5.93218%' on a second run. However the execution plan is saved between the first and second run and not adopted to the new values.
There are ways out of this "bind" problem. But all have to do with providing us a good execution plan first.
However you can start by yourself with forcing the use of the index on the column custcode.

Help with linking buttons to Scenes

Hey,
Rookie to Flash and AS3. Just needed some help with my buttons. Im making a flash program about pancakes (random I know). I have a "Mainmenu" scene and then a "Recipe" scene. I have a button on my mainmenu which takes me to the recipe page when I click it, the code behind the button is
"stop();btn_recipe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(1, "Recipe");
Then when I arrive at my recipe page I have a button which will take me back to my MainMenu, the code behind that button is:
"stop();btn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouse5DownHandler);function mouse5DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1, "MainMenu");
So I run my program and the first button works and takes me to recipe page but the button to get to the main menu does nothing, click it and no response or anything
Please help

First, hopefully having all your code mushed onto the same line is a copy/paste error, otherwise it should look like...
stop();
btn_recipe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
     gotoAndStop(1, "Recipe");
If the intention is to click the buttons to make them work, then you should use CLICK instead of MOUSE_DOWN. MOUSE_DOWN can be a persistent state whereas CLICK involves releasing it afterwards.
As for the code to get you back home, where is it located on the timeline? Are you getting any error messages when you try to use it?
One thing you should learn to use is the trace() function. It is useful for troubleshooting. You can use it now to see if your second button is talking to the function at all...
stop();
btn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouse5DownHandler);
function mouse5DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
     trace("the button works okay");
     gotoAndPlay(1, "MainMenu");
If you don't get that message in the output panel, you'll know the button is not properly coded to work.
Most folks here will recommend you get away from using scenes in a design that includes navigation--they have a history of being problematic. Instead of using scenes, divide the one main timeline up into sections or use movieclips for the sections and manage their visibility... or do a bit of both.

Help With Flash Buttons

Dear Readers
I am puzzled! lol. I was looking at the Radio 1 homepage
today (www.bbc.co.uk/radio1)
Click Here for Link
On the homepage there is a Flash menu with a series of
buttons titled "300 exclusive" and "Groove-y Mix" etc etc.
These buttons finish their loop cycle even though the
mous-out event has occurred.
Does anyone know hoe to make such buttons? If so it would be
greatly helpful.
Well...I hope I haven't lost too many people.
Yours Sincerely

OK.... make a movie clip. Call it Button or something.
drag it onto your main movie. Select it and add this action:
on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay("up");
on (rollOut) {
this.gotoAndPlay("down");
on (release) {
getURL("website.html", "_self");
Now, double-click on the movie clip to open it.
Make three layers ("shape", "actions" and "labels" )
Draw a colored box on the "shape" layer (this will be your
button)
on frame 1 put a Stop action on the "actions" layer
on frame 5 put a Frame Label called "up" (no quotation marks)
on the "labels" layer
on Frame 15 put a Stop Action on the "actions" layer
on frame 20 put a Frame Label called "down" on the "labels"
layer
on frame 30 put a Stop action on the "actions" layer
Now select your "shape" layer, click on frame 5 and hit F6,
click on frame 15 and hit F6, click on frame 20 and hit F6, click
on frame 30 and hit F6.
OK...now you need to make some sort of animation happen with
your boxes. From frame 5 to frame 15. and the reverse, from frame
20 to frame 30.
So when the user rolls over the movie clip (that you called
"button"), THIS (the movie clip) will gotoAndPlay the frame called
"up"
and then it will stop playing at Frame 15 where you put a
Stop Action. When the cursor rolls off, THIS will gotoAndPlay
"down" ...
get it? If you don't understand what Frame Labels and Actions
are, then you first need to do the Flash Tutorial.

I need help with a button animation!

Hi,
I hope someone can help with a simple-looking problem which
nonetheless has me stumped!
I have a feeling that I've missed something obvious.
I've created a movie clip to act as a button (I've called it
"abs_button") and placed it on the stage.
My main movie has one frame.
Within the "abs_button" movie clip there are 5 layers.
Labels, actions, default button state, rollover state and rollout
state.
Technically, default button state, rollover state and rollout
state could be on the same layer as they don't overlap, but I've
given each animation its own layer for clarity.
FRAME 01.
Default button state is one frame with a graphic of the
button. Just a label at the start ("abs_up") and a "stop();" action
at the end.
FRAME 02 to 31.
Rollover state is a 30 frame animation. Label at start
("abs_over"), "stop()"; action at the end.
FRAME 32 to 62.
Rollout state is a 30 frame animation. Label at start
("abs_out"), "stop()"; action at the end.
All animations were achieved with tweens.
My initial "abs_button" code:
on (release) {
getURL("targetPage.htm", "_self");
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("abs_button", "abs_over");
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("abs_button", "abs_out");
As it stands, the animation jumps to frame 1 of "abs_out" on
rollout.
I need the "abs_over" animation to always play through to the
end, as the "abs_out" is "abs_over" in reverse (i.e. image grows
large on rollover and shrinks again on rollout.
I've tried for 2 days to solve this, but I clearly need help.
My experiments with variables simply didn't work.
I would be grateful if someone could tell me where I'm going
wrong!
Thanks,
Andy

use this:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("abs_over");
Since the code is attached directly to the movieclip, you
don't have to
identify the clip. A gotoAndPlay() function takes a frame
number or a
frame label name as its argument, never the name of the clip
that
contains the frame number or name.

HTML is a lot different from Flash! :-)
I believe you could do this using DW's Show-Hide layer
behavior - have
mousing over the link trigger a layer with the image to
appear. Someone else
may have a better idea.
Just FYI, having to mouse over a link in order to get more
information about
it isn't usually appreciated by users. You *might* want to
re-think this
plan..

Help With Radio Buttons -- URGENT!!

Hi i am new to using UI compents in flash.
Basically i havnt a clue where to start.
Just some simple action script will help and be much
appreciated if someone can give me it.
Basically i have a question to ask which requires radio
buttons to answer the question.
I have a question and the answers are A, B, C, D.
I want:
A to equal 1
B to equal 2
C to equal 3
D to equal 4
E to equal 5
Would someone be able to tell me how to set up the radio
button so that the value of the radio button is stored into an
array called SCORE.
i dont need a tutor for arrays, i can do them, i just need
help with the radio buttons so a reference to an array would be
enough, eg how to store the answer from the radio button in an
array.
Thank you

Place the radio buttons on the stage and set their parameters
to what you need. Make sure that for each group of radio buttons
you give them the same group name. Then you could use something
like this:
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
var answerArr:Array = new Array();
listenerObject.click = function(eventObj:Object) {
answerArr.push(eventObj.target.selectedData);
trace(answerArr);
radioGroup.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);
radioGroup refers to the group name for the buttons.
eventObj.target will refer to the actual radio button
clicked.

Need help with encore buttons - highlights

Hi All
I am seeking help with Encode CS5. I have a project working fine except that I dont have highlights for buttons, at least I think thats what its called. So when the mouse or remote control navigates up/down toa button it changes colour.
In the properties of my button, the highlight option is greyed out.
How do I apply highlights ?
many thanks
Chris Anderson

Hi Bill
Thanks for your reply.
Here are 2 screen prints. One from encore the other from photoshop.
First time I have inserted images, and they seem a little small on this message - if you have any problems reading I could email to you.
I have highlighted the first button - which is called 'Highlights' - same issue with all the other buttons.
Do you have to use photoshop to add highlighting? or can you do this in encore - i dont have much experience with photoshop.
Not sure how to check 'Color Set' ? can you tell me how to get that for you - same for transparency for states? - I havent experienced them or changed them as I dont know how to
Yes it was duplicated - have left a message not to reply
Thanks again

UWL - Help with Decision Buttons

Hello SDNers,
I'm customizing the UWL iView to show approval itens only, and their respective decision buttons.
Everything looks ok, but when someone try to submit the decisions it shows the message:
"reject wasn't correct"
Where "reject" is the name I gave to the action.
It also happens with the approval action.
Below is the XML I've created.
Does someone have a clue in what that message means, or what I've done wrong?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi There,
Make sure that your decisionKeys are correct. I have seen issues with this many times. Log on to the backend system and call SAP_WAPI_DECISION_READ or SWK_DECISION READ for a specific workitem (You can get the details of the workitem id from the support information on the UWL - enable this and you can check this specific workitem) The decision key is an internal value (typically a numeric value) corresponding to the selected decision used by the provider.
You will need to ensure that you have x amount of decisions configured in the xml file, where x = the amount of decisions configured in the backend system.
For additional help with this topic please see the userDecision Action Handler documentation:

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go the route you go now.
You are asking for assistance and – as I understand it – you are just trying to pass a class right now, but you don't know the answers to a lot of pretty basic questions.
What's your purpose?
I – as well as many people here – could answer all your questions. Also, I could provide some misleading hints which could cause serious trouble for you in case you would use them in your exam.
You should go a different route.

Help with Social buttons ...

Hi,
I'm designing a muse site with social buttons that are created when you embed code from a site such as facebook, and others. They look like this on my site ...
I would like to build a 'social' area on my site that looks like this instead ...
So, to clarify when my user clicks on the 'f' in the lower of the two graphics above I'd like my website to behave as if the user had clicked on the 'f share' icon generated by the embedded html from facebook.
How?
Many Thanks!
Gary

Hi Gary
This would be a customization with codes for share.
You can use Share This and use the embed code for the same view that you have mentioned , which will allow users to share the page where you will insert the code.

- Select Website
- Select the layout
- Generate the code

Help with Radio Buttons in Form

Hi. I have inherited a website that has a simple form. I have
been asked to edit the form adding 4 radio buttons to collect the
consumer's satisfaction with the content of the website. I have
added the radio buttons using Dreamweaver MX, however, they do not
work as I expected them to. I was under the impression that radio
buttons did not allow the user to select more than one option
because when the user selected a different option, the first option
was unselected. My form is currently allowing all four options to
be selected at the same time. The code for the form is below. I
have changed the @ in the email address of the form to prevent
possible spam. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like you need to change the name= to the same on
each radio button, if they all have the same name then you can only
check one. Then click the form in the behaviors panel and be sure
the radio button name is inserting into the proper db
column.
