The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Toggle visibility in Actionscript 3

Asked by neachtain in Adobe Flash, ActionScript

Tags: actionscript 3, Flash CS3

I'm trying to create a toggle button to show/hide various informational snippets. The user presses the button to show the item (works fine), and the button state changes to indicate that the user can press it again the hide the data. I can't get the removeChild to work. I'm not getting an error message, but the display stays put on stage. There ought to be a simple way to do this. Full disclosure, my button is actually a movie clip with 4 frames.

Help, please!

toggleButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, rolloverToggle);
toggleButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, rolloutToggle);
toggleButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toggleClick);
toggleButton.buttonState = "off";
 
function rolloverToggle(event:MouseEvent) {
	toggleButton.gotoAndStop(toggleButton.buttonState+" over");
}
function rolloutToggle(event:MouseEvent) {
	toggleButton.gotoAndStop(toggleButton.buttonState);
}
//below: no error message, but doesn't remove
function toggleClick(event:MouseEvent) {
		var mcMembersData:membersData = new membersData();
		this.addChild(mcMembersData);
		mcMembersData.x = 15;
		mcMembersData.y = 30;
