so I've determined that Flash is retarded in some senses... The problem was that the menuBar would not release the focus, so my buttons were not able to execute their on press command properly.( hence the need to double-click on the button, or to move before clicking) I resolved it by adding...

where/how can I post my fla?

In my applet I have a menubar with menus and some buttons... I have found that before I use the menubar my button works every time I click on it, but after I open the menu (even if I don't select anything) I can't click the button more than once. If I move the mouse before I click the button...

I've looked in the flash help for the curveTo function and it isn't very clear on what the control and anchor points are... I'm trying to draw 1/4 of a circle rotating around a single point, and so far my only problem has been in creating the curve properly. right now I have 2 lines at right...

Is there a way to stop the mouse pointer from changing into a text "pointer" when it is over a text field?

thanks a lot!

I am trying to create multiple textfields during runtime using the createTextField method in my actions layer. I've tried to create them all in a loop in one movieclip, but that was only displaying one textfield, so I figured it was a problem with the movieclip... so now I'm trying to create a...

I was also wanting to know if there is a way in which I can make it so that I can only select one item in a menu when it is chosen. When one item is selected and then another is selected afterwards, I would like the first item to no longer be selected. Do I have to make the menubar using the...

I am looking at making submenus that create small checkmarks beside a submenu after you've selected them much like in flash under the Window menu when you select Library there is a checkmark beside it... is there a way i can do this using the addMenuItem() command, or do I have to take a...

Is there a way to find the Red Green Blue value of a pixel on the screen, or is that only possible when in reference to objects? Because I would like to be able to decipher and change a heat map using flash if possible. Thanks
