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!

Flash AS3: Setting text dynamically over multiple button states

Asked by tomaugerdotcom in Adobe Flash, ActionScript

Tags: Flash, ActionScript 3, dynamic text rollover

This has been asked in the past, but I have not been able to locate the definitive answer. This seems to be so painfully simple and obvious, and yet I have not found a solution.

The Situation:
You want your Designer to be able to create a MovieClip-based button containing a dynamic textfield. You want the Designer to be able to manipulate the look of the text in the Rollover and Down states using the Flash IDE without resorting to TextFormat objects, CSS or other code-based tomfoolery.

The Problem:
When your AS class then sets the textfield.text value in frame 1 of the MovieClip, the other button states continue to display the original text.

I'm sure there must be a simple solution that doesn't involve creating 3 separate textfields and setting their visibility in the different states...

Thanks in advance for your ideas!

Tom
