Button with dynamic text in Flash CS5 -

-

i'm new flash pro programming, , trying create button-type symbol can set label. problems i'm running follows.

  1. if make symbol type=button, can't add actionscripts in frames and/or access subcomponents? why so?
  2. if make symbol type=movieclip, can add actionscript , access sub-components, can't figure out how make handcursor show on hover?

any ideas appreciated. thanks..

there couple of ways it.

first off - have ability access sub components of button , can add actionscript it. however, same , build button using movieclips gives more freedom.

to overcome hand pointer issue - there 2 ways reproduce this.

firstly (my preference), build button object. invisible, or @ worst 1% opacity. , i'd place on upper layer of movieclip. not require hover states or code - can reproduce hand icon.

the second option within code. 1 problem tend create - need same code sub components, if not - might have selective text in reproduced movieclip of change mouse pointer text selection pointer (the when hover on text).

its simple enough produce. in frame 1 of movieclip add:

buttonmode = true;

and make hand cursor also. can read more here: http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/actionscriptlangrefv3/flash/display/sprite.html#buttonmode

hope helps

php - PHPDoc: @return void necessary? -

is necessary this: /** * ... * * @return void */ i have quite few methods don't have return value, , seems redundant put in comment. considered bad form leave out? if makes clear documentation, leave in, isn't strictly necessary. it's entirely subjective decision. personally, leave out. edit stand corrected. after little googling, wikipedia page says: @return [type description] tag should not used constructors or methods defined void return type. the phpdoc.org website says: @return datatype description @return datatype1|datatype2 description the @return tag used document return value of functions or methods. @returns alias @return support tag formats of other automatic documentors the datatype should valid php type (int, string, bool, etc), class name type of object returned, or "mixed". if want explicitly show multiple possible return types, list them pipe-delimited without spaces (e.g. "@retur...
