View 2 Repliesi have a drop down menu am working on and each button tab (although they are not button instances !) when clicked opens up the "drop down" section which you can mouse over to choose another specific button etc - if you mouse out of that drop down area then it pulls back up to the original tab state .. what do i change to the code below to decrease the area that you mouse out of to make the drop down area pull back .....at the moment it at least two inches on the screen below and to the right of boundaries of the drop down box before it pulls up - i want to it pull up as the mouse leaves the boundary box .... hope this makes sense .... there is some part of the actionscipt below that controls this but can work out which bit and how to change it !!! (am guessing the x mouse and y mouse bits - but how to change it ???)

Since at least cs3, Illustrator, InDesign & Photoshop has all had the Alt + mouse wheel zoom function. I have wondered when this would become available in flash. I just installed my cs5 design premium and immediately noticed that the zooming function has been further improved in the other programs but still nothing has happened in flash.
Am I missing some way to enable this zoom function or is there some third party plugin that can help me? It is annoying and time consuming to have to press z then click around to get the right zoom level and then click whatever tool I was using before instead of just pressing alt and scrolling a bit.
I want to enable drawing in a certain area. It works quite well and everything besides the fact that I can't stop the drawing function.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var lineo:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

I'm trying to create a drawing application in flash CS4, but I need the viewers to draw in a certain area only, and I want the cursor to change into a brush when I am hovering over that certain area. I tried adding an if statement to check if the cursor is in that certain area, but now it doesn't draw at all.
stop();
var drawIt:Boolean = false;
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;

Want to get custom image and which should be dragabble into drawing area...Below is the sample design which exactly i am looking for.
How to get custome image which i have rounded in red mark aslo i t should have input and output ports for ex:For TwoWaySplit.EU.OTHERS it contains IN as inputport and for Outputports:OTHERS and EU.same in the case with TwoWaySplit.US.OTHERS it contains IN as inputport and for Outputports:OTHERS and US and for main component it contains one input port and three output ports as shown in the diagram.Along with that node it should also display those ports and also when we move the node those ports should also move.
I have got it to drag around and such, but i tried to use the drawing API to define the hotspot area but its not working.
Code:
function makeWords(){
yVar = 20
for (i=0; i<25; i++) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("symbolName"+i, getNextHighestDepth());

I've never used the drawing function on Flash and I followed the fairly simple tute on it just recently. Is there any way to confine the drawing area to a specific shape. Mine's a rectangluar shape that's rotated. You can download my FLA with the background image here > [URL]. I'd like to try and keep it confined to the notepad area. I think it might be a hitTest thing with if/else. My other thing would be to just rotate the notepad so that it's straight. Even still I'd like it confined to the area beginning with the corner of the notepad, not the corner of my movie.
View 2 RepliesI need to know how to script the drawing board as in the user can only draw on a specified area. For example, on a 800x600 layout, only 1/4 of it is the drawing board.After the user has drawn the image, when he/she clicks on a button, the image will be replicated on another area in the same 800x600 space. So far, I can only manage to make a drawing board on the whole 800x600 space and erasing.

So is there anyway I could use any of the above code to load the big image associated with the small image? If event.target points to the current thumbnail being picked up, could i do something like event.target.url to point to its name or something?
I am using a logo in .png form. I would like to have the logo very small at first and then get bigger frame by frame as it goes down the timeline. I created a keyframe on frame 1 and then another keyframe on frame 40. I then made the logo on frame 1 a small size, and I have the logo on frame 40 a large size. I am not sure how to tween them to produce the effect. It won't let me select the "shape" tween. I tried "classic" tween and motion tween (makes you convert to symbols), but no dice.

View 1 RepliesHow would i make a web banner that maybe could expand to a bigger size when i roll over it?
i see people doing these over the internet but do not know how.sometimes the web page changes to accommodate for the bigger web banner once the user rolls over with their mouse.
By the way i want to make a visualization about a math process to show partial function graph.
I think i can make a scene which in 1000x1000 pixels. I'll start from top of scene and when i press a button i'll move camera to second section which i want to do sketch. I want to make a sketchpad which can draw in a 2 part movieclip. First part is -X section of XY Axis Graph. Second part is +X section of XY Axis Graph. I'll put image of XY Axis Graph to -X and +X section of XY Axis Graph. So it'll be seem like one part. And i'll draw to -X section. After that i'll skip to second sketchpad with camera. And i'll make same thing. But for now i'll draw to +X. And when i press conclusion button camera will skip to bottom of scene and move -X of figure1 and +X of figure2 to bottom. So i can see figure1's -X section and figure2's +X section as merged in bottom. So it'll show to me partial function graph.
But problem is sketchpad is drawing to _root. So i'm unable to move sketch or shapes on XY Axis Graph. But if i can draw that to movie clip i can move it like an object with drawing and merge it like i want.
So i want to make a sketchpad which make drawing in limits of movieclip.
how i can do it ? Also i'm using following code:
Code:
import mx.controls.Loader;
// 1. SETTING THINGS
// ----------------
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line",1);

View 2 RepliesI am getting familiar with the Flash animations I am trying to make a simple animation within the text input area i.e.
1.FAN BASE
2.FA NBASE
What I want is the letter N to move slowly towards letter B.I have done motion tweening but it doesn't work -either the whole text is moving left right or the letter N is simply skipping to the second position without smooth animation.( there's no error on motion tween by the way)
is there a way to make a Text Area transparent?, I'm using this code:
_level0.taDescription.depthChild0._alpha = 0;
and works, but then, I'm loading that SWF in another SWF and I loose the alpha property?
Of course, when the mouse rolls over the graphic, the button beneath it is not clickable.Without going into all the reasons why I can't incorporate the graphic into the button itself... is there a way in AS3 to programmatically make that graphic virtually "transparent" - so that it doesn't interfere with the button's rollover and hit states?

View 3 RepliesI am brand new to all Adobe applications but have the CS5 Master Suite and have been taking many courses through Lynda.com for months. I wish to learn how to make a small video of an object being sketched. That is use a drawing tablet and stylus (whatever they are called...I have NO idea) and trace over a photo. When finished I wish to have the video of the slowly created tracing of the object sped up and when complete fade away and the actual photograph of the object traced overlap fade into view. In other words use this as a transition technique for presenting a photograph of an object rather then just have it "pop" onto the screen. My questions are: (1) What special drawing pad and stylus are required (if any....can I do it with just the mouse?) (2) Is Flash Professional the program one would use to make such a video? If not which Adobe program is best suited to this task, and (3) Is there a NAME to this "technique" in whatever program was given in answer to question two so I know where to begin and/or look for a tutorial on how to accomplish this technique?

View 4 RepliesI'm having trouble with a custom mouse cursor. In my script I replace the original mouse with a movie clip called hand like so:
Mouse.hide();
hand.x = stage.mouseX;
hand.y = stage.mouseY;
But when I go to click on something it uses the mouse's pointer still. I'd like to be able to drag with any part of my custom cursor(which is larger than a mouse).I've tried making a hit box that detects when the mouse is near the clip but it doesn't work onsistently(sometimes it just clicks like normal).Is there to make the clicking area of the mouse change?
