(ActionScript 3) AS3 ComboBox "onSelect" changing

Mon, 10 Nov 2008 11:56:08 GMT

I copied this from my working example and tweaked some lines to make it generic. Thus there MAY be a typo which I haven't checked for, but probably not. This is what's needed to have something change upon selection of an item in a ComboBox.

(ActionScript 3) AS3 MovieClip-as-a-Button Easy Function

Fri, 07 Nov 2008 12:23:44 GMT

Because making a button out of a movieclip in AS3 is ridiculously code-heavy, I wrote a simple function to set the needed values with only a couple of lines. You need the function placed within your code, after which you simply call it and then define the over/out/click functions for your movieclip.

This is a CS3/AS2 Flash file containing a simple particle system. It requires the use of MC Tween (http://hosted.zeh.com.br/mctween/).

(ActionScript 3) AS3 getURL / navigateToURL (How to make clickable links in AS3)

Mon, 27 Oct 2008 11:28:03 GMT

Shown in the source are the actual code, shorthand of the code, and Steven Sacks' simple-but-sweet rendition of getURL done in AS3, which requires the downloadable class from his site.

(ActionScript) AS2 onDragOver Functional Replacement

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 10:55:09 GMT

Because onDragOver in AS2 doesn't really work, here is some script for actually detecting whether the mouse button is held down when rolling over something. NOTE that for ideal usage, you will have to write some actual collision detection between the cursor (_xmouse /_ymouse) and whatever object(s) you wish to roll over.

(ActionScript) Mousedown on actionscript button

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 10:40:58 GMT

Code for allowing users to hold the mouse button down on a movie clip (button) for a constant effect.

(ActionScript) AS2 convert string to date

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 12:23:46 GMT

This function takes a string containing a date in "mm/dd/yyyy" or "m/d/yyyy" format and converts it to a date object in AS2.

(JavaScript) Mouseover / mouseout event fix: isMouseLeaveOrEnter

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 12:05:57 GMT

Usage: onmouseout='if (isMouseLeaveOrEnter(event, this)) YourActionHere();' onmouseover='if (isMouseLeaveOrEnter(event, this)) YourOtherActionHere();'

(ActionScript) Scrollbar for dynamic text

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 17:21:03 GMT

I'm not sure where this comes from, although it looks official. It's easy to implement, but to change the height of the scrollbar you have to delve into the developer assets folder within the FLA.

(CSS) Superb 3-column tableless layout

Also see the automagic column builder on this page. YOU NEED THIS FILE TOO! Place it in the subfolder, "css/". http://snipurl.com/3col_support_css

(CSS) Conditional CSS for FF, IE7, IE6

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 15:23:39 GMT

Set different values for an element based on browser (specifically, how the browser interprets the CSS). Definitions must be in order as shown below because newer definitions override existing. The first setting will apply to all browsers. The second setting (using a pound symbol, #) will only apply to Microsoft Internet Explorer. The third setting (an underscore, _ ) will only apply to IE browsers 6.0 and older.
