I'm a flash newb and want to be able to create a rolling product feature as on Barnes and Noble's homepage. http:[url].....I'm sure there's probably already movies or tutorials on this but don't really even know where to look.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a security feature for my SWF's.I have a .txt file named security.txt.It has a variable called permissionGranted and is set to false
Code:
permissionGranted=false
Here is my AS:
Code:
Stage.showMenu = false;
Stage.scaleMode = "noscale";[code]..........
This doesn't work though,it traces true of false correctly but won't touch the if statement.
I'm wondering if anyone knows how to create an "add to dock" type of feature much like URL...

View 3 RepliesMy MC button is now working as expected with one problem... when I click the mouse button when over a MC button then roll the mouse off the button and release the mouse button, the button stays 'hilighted' (in frame 3 of the button MC) until you roll the mouse over it again.I'd like it to stay highlighted only as long as the cursor is over the button and the mouse button is held down...when you roll the mouse cursor off the button it should release it and send it back to frame one of the button MC. Does that make sense?Here is the code:
btn1.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(2); //highlites the button
this.dt.text = menuArray[0][0];
[code].....
i need to do another one, exactly the same, but it will have a rolling picture (4) when 1 button is rolled over.
I can set it up to fade in when the mouse rolls over, but i am just wandering how to set it that i can make 4 images fade in after eachother after a space of about 3 seconds. If you need code i am more then happy to give what i have at the moment. i am assuming i will need a timer in there but i am not very good at AS3.0 so i do not know how to write it
I have two movieclips; mc1 & mc2. When rolling over mc1 I'd like to change the alpha level of mc2 to 50%.
View 2 RepliesI have several flash based lessons that I have created that are being distributed online to several companies. Each lesson has a video that is played within the lesson through the flvplayback control. The videos were supplied by a third party and some of the videos are encoded at 384K and some are at 568K.
One company that is attempting to view the lessons is seeing the following behavior. The video plays for approximately 20 seconds then suddenly the video drops out and the audio continues to play. With the audio still playing the video scrubber rolls back and attempts to start the video again but all that comes through is the audio track again. Now there are 2 instances of the audio playing with no video. This happens a third time and finally keeps going until all the audio is played out.
The IT staff at the company has showed me a fiddler log that shows the flash player making a connection out to Akamai to retrieve the video and then rolling from port 80 to port 1935 and finally to port 443. This would explain the three audio tracks playing
I have read that the flash player will attempt to gather the stream from the stated rtmp location and then if it encounters an issue with a proxy or firewall it will attempt the other ports.So I am not sure if there is anything I can do by design or programatically to alleviate this issue. It appears to me that the company attempting to view this video has some kind of bandwidth throttling program in place that is kicking off this behavior in the flash player.
Is it possible to prevent the flash player from making the three attempts? Would a sudden cut of bandwidth prompt the player to attempt to roll to another port if a network load balancing program suddenly kicked in? If it is bandwidth is that why the audio stream continues to play because there is enough bandwidth for the audio track to get through, but not the video?
I have attached a screen shot of the sniffer output so you can see the rolling ports thing.

I want to make an e-card for a marriage in flash. The card opens from the top. How do i give an effect of the card being opened on click? or even the card being opened automatically!
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a banner where two colored squares roll across the screen. The first blue square does just fine, however when trying the same thing with a green square (in a different layer) it does ok the first half of the tween, but reverses direction in the second half (where I placed a keyframe)- even though I rotated the green square the same way as the first half.
View 7 RepliesMy goal is to simply have the cursor swap to be a hand (pointer) when I roll over a MovieClip. Obviously I could use SimpleButton, but the situation is that I have some enemies that are obviously MovieClips, and when I select an ability to use I want the mouse to show as a pointer when I roll over them.
I assumed this would work:
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mc.graphics.beginFill(0);
mc.graphics.drawRect(0,0,50,50);
[Code].....
There are workarounds such as adding a button into the enemy MovieClip and then removing it. Just seems there's an inbuilt way I'm missing.
I'm trying to do this: When I roll over a button, an image appears. I have three buttons and 1 image per button that corresponds with it. When I roll out, the image disappears. I have most of it figured out, but the part that gets me is how to make each button correspond to one image. Right now when I roll over all three buttons, it only shows the image the first button should.
View 2 RepliesI have a menu with buttons at the bottom of my page, and I want to have a textfield with info about each of the buttons.When you roll over on of the buttons, the info comes up, and when you roll over the next, that info replaces the other one. Standard thing. My buttons is inside a movieclip on the page where I want the info.

View 6 RepliesI use this smooth, nice (and simple) image gallery, and I am very happy with it. However sometimes some of the images stops when rolling in, and I have to press Fw again to jump to the next one. I can't figure out where the bug lies, as I mentioned it appears rarely but it blows up the whole thing.

i'm trying to learn some AS. Now i made some simple code which should bring the alpha down step by step, en bring it back up when rolling outside.

this is the part for alpha down as you can see, but i think this goes way to fast. how can i slow this progress down?
I'm trying to create a horizontal drop-down (well, sliding in actually) menu bar that expands to stage when rolling over it, and collapsing in when rolling-out. Problem is, when I roll-over one of the buttons in the menu, flash thinks I'm rolling out from the area that was supposed to trigger the menu in.I have attached the file I'm working on (hopefully the most accurate one, as I tried dozens of solutions and wasn't very careful with naming...

View 1 RepliesI was visiting this site mentioned in a book about flash we sites [URL]. and i really got curious about the effect of the picture in the background. when you roll over the area they practically have an alpha tween...but i think it's not just alpha tween...i noticed that the brightest parts of the image you have rolling over are also the darkest when the Tween begin. is kind of "selective alphaTween"?.
View 2 Repliesbeen looking around for a while for this, searched for it here at as.org, scanning every article and archive I could find from the last 10 years. It just seems like how to do it right is not currently out there. Assuming coding has improved, and all of us are much smarter and more experienced than we were last decade, I bring it up once more.
View 7 RepliesI just built a carousel using Actionscript 2.0 in CS4 via an awesome tutorial on this site. I've added this carousel to an existing site and works beautifully on the home page but the problem is, when I click on a button to go to a new page, the carousel appears there as well obstructing the page content. Also, when I click back to home the carousel multiplies. My question is, how do I get the carousel to appear on the homepage ONLY and not multiply each time I click back to the home page? I'm a new Flash user.

I've got a question/request concerning my first flash website.If you look at my site you will see 4 .swf's loaded in from the sides. This effect is made possible by Jquery script. But because of lack of compatibility with Opera & Internetexplorer. I have to integrate this all in one swf. But I've got not a clue what kind of code I need to make this effect working.So to be clear what I want is Containing 4 swf's 25% height & 100% width. The slide in function is something I also would like to have (but maybe that's asking for just to much). If you want to see the code of the actionscript from the swf''s you can check it out at the included zip

I found this code on the internet that seems to work more or less... problem is it just stretches out and fills out to much, it only stretches out to perfectly fill on the with of the swf, but goes way over the boundaries on the length... the video fills the page exactly but when the expands according to the size of the browser?

I am using AS3.0.I have created simple forward naviagtion from my homepage to my second screen using the code below and a simple button (click1)
//handle events for buttons...
click1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection1);
function clickSection1(evtObj:MouseEvent){[code].......
Slightly modified code is used on consequent pages to navigate forward through my site.I have also created a home button that navigates me back to my first screen (called screen2) using the following code...
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickhome1);
function clickhome1(e:MouseEvent):void
{gotoAndStop("screen2")
}
However, when I return to the homepage and click forward, instead of taking me to the next page and the next page, it jumps me forward directly to the 5th. screen.
I have 2 buttons in flash.. and i need one that allow me to set as homepage for that webpage when i click. and another one allow me to bookmake that webpage when i click.
