I have a couple of posts asking the same question. They also say they found the answer, I however, have not! Maybe I need new glasses.
I keep getting the message ‘Current selection cannot have actions applied to it’. I have done some research and one of the suggestions was to try saving it as an AS2.fla and try it. I did. Now it won’t move at all. I am following this video tutorial and I am stuck.
This is for a current project so time is of the essence. Any help would be greatly appreciated!:sigh::puzzled:
You cannot attach actions directly to symbols in AS3.
AS2 allowed scripts to be attached to symbols, which was the reason for the suggestion to save as AS2.
(IMO, this is a very poor reason to use AS2 for a project , though)
Post the fla, or information more specific to your project.
The AS3 solution is likely to be very simple.
Here’s a basic setup.
I’m sure there’s a better way to code dropdown menus, but the code used to animate the menu in this example might be useful in other ways.
I included a basic liquid GUI as well, since you’ll eventually be needing it.
Install TweenLite or [COLOR=“Blue”]TweenMax[/COLOR].
