I am trying to make a comic by putting the comic in a movie clip called graphic_novel (also the instance name) but I want to have individual thumbnails in the comic zoomable so that if you hover over them then you get a further zoom into each thumbnail of the comic.
So far I have the following actionscript on the main comic which also has a motion tween between frame 1 and 20 so that it zooms in or out over that amount of frames.
The zoom works fine but I have tried numerous methods of creating invisible movie clip buttons over the individual thumbnails and tried to add similar actionscript to make a further zoom. Basically I want to navigate around the comic using zoom in zoom out.[code]...
how I would make one of these zoomable image modules. It's essentially an image viewer with a zooming slider bar.. it zooms when you slide a bar.. I think I could figure that part out pretty easily.. but when it zooms, it's not ONLY enlarging the image.. the image actually gets sharper and reloads a the visible portion of the image..
i have a main movie w/c is draggable and zoomable where i drag another movie on top of it. Each have its own instance names. my problem is my main movie is the only one that ca be drag and zoom.
I've got a zoomable map within a frame, and of course I don't want it to be dragged out of view, right? So, how do I set the startDrag (L,T,R,B) parameters when it's a different size when it's enlarged (zoomed)?
if ( between Size>100 AND Size<200) { startDrag(this, false,400,150,600,250); } if ( between Size>200 AND Size<400) { startDrag(this, false,500,250,500,150); }
I am trying to create a web-comic using flash cs4. This is the first time that I use this program, but I understand that what im trying to do can be easily done.All I need is basically a Previous and Next button like a slideshow.[URL]
My problem should be simple but I'm still having trouble. I am making a comic that appears on screen one frame at a time based off of on of the first flash tutorials that come with the program. It allows the user to click a button to move to the next frame. My problem is that the smaller frames need to be centered on the stage.
Here is the code I have so far /* 0 */ var image0title:String = "Dr. Berg's Clinic. 1 of 4"; var image0uri:String = "images/Berg_frame_1.jpg"; /* 1 */ var image1title:String = "Dr. Berg's Clinic. 2 of 4"; var image1uri:String = "images/Berg_frame_2.jpg"; [Code] .....
My stage is set at a height of 350 px and a width of 500 px and the largest image is a height of 319 px and width of 500 px (the remaining 31 px are where I put the description and the button). The smaller images are a height of 319 px and a width of 166px and need to be centered.
I'm trying to setup a situation in my comic where the user chooses one of two options, to side either with goblins or a dwarf. I would like to set it so that if the user chooses the goblins, it updates a shared object that keeps that choice saved on the computer for the next time they watch the movie so it skips the asking process. I've tried everything I can think of to get them to work, and the choice will replay if you are in the movie, but once you close it, the choice is not saved.
The .fla file can be found at www.manatheater.com/MXhelp2.fla, the initial set up is in Scene 0, Layer "Masking", Frame 0. The button code is in Scene 2, Layer GLeft and Gright, Frame 459. The replay code that checks the variable can be found in Scene 2, Layer "Masking", Frame 416. The variable for the choice is "gob", gob==1 is for goblins, gob==2 is for dwarf.
As a UI specialist, I am often asked to build tool-tip displays and other sorts of popups that display text. One of styles clients seem most keen on is text in a comic-book balloon. I would like to create this balloons programmatically (as opposed to embedding or linking to rendered graphics), because these balloons will have to change size at runtime, depending on how much text they have to hold.
Balloons are easy to draw for the most part: circles, rectangles or rounded-corner rectangles. The tough part, for me, is the tail (the little arrow-like part of the comic balloon that points towards the speaker). If you google comic balloon, you see that there are many varieties of tails. They ones clients request from me most often are curved. E.g...
[URL]
The tail will always be on the bottom of the balloon, and it will sometimes point left and sometimes point right. I have been trying to come up with tail-drawing algorithms for a while, but I'm not happy with the results. I'm basically stumbling around in the dark, changing variables, looking at the results, and using trial and error to try to move closer to the magic numbers that will work. "Work" just means a result that looks pleasing, which I realize is subjective. Most of my clients will be a happy with anything that looks reasonably good and professional.
I want this result to scale. And it would be great if it could work with as few inputs as possible, maybe just isFacingLeft, tailWidth and tailHeight (Which could maybe be a percentage of the whole balloon). Maybe an adjustable curveAmount.
If it matters, I'm using Flash/Actionscript, but any system that has some sort of turtle graphics engine should work pretty much the same way: I'm working with that standard flipped Cartesian grid (y increases downward), x and y coordinates, the ability to move a pen, draw lines and draw curves.One caveat: Flash only allows me to draw 3-point bezier curves -- start point, control point, end point.
Note: balloons won't have to scale after the are drawn.

i want to make the character in my flash game make a jump when the player presses a key,e.g. 'space',even the player release the key instantly,the character will still finish the complete jump process.
Is it possible to make flash mx to take the time on the system and make it run a determined frame. I want to make a clock that shows the real time. How can I do it?
I followed the bit101 tutorial on gravity and now have a movie clip called "ball" (instance name) with an embedded invisible button (so you can throw it all over the place).I also have a movie clip called "block1" (instance name too! what a coincidence, isn't life lovely). I want to make them collide, and make the ball bounce away.
this is my code for photogallery.there will be 61 images loaded in this array.how can i make an AUTO button which will make a slideshow,showing all the images in array?
arrayrow = new Array() arrayrow=[ ["00.jpg","0","sajkad","hjsgadhj"],[code].....
Im have an flv playing on my stage. I want to make a mute button for the video that can instantly make the volume 0 or 100 depending on what it is.So i have tried using this code:
I'm trying to make a preloader for a little flash project that involves re-assembling a load of rectangles to make up a pattern.Idea is that instead of the usual load bar i wanted to make use of this pattern that is relevant to the project and have it rebuild it self with these rectangles flying in from the side. So far I have got the tweening sorted using the tween class and staggered the 42 (yes took a little while, probably an easier way so let me know on that also) rectangles using 'setTimeout' so it releases each 100milliseconds after the one one before it. This probably the wrong way to do it but i wanted to check how it looked and this was the one way i knew how to do it.
I want to make it so that these rectangles fly in a complete the pattern once the loading has finished, but on a fast connection I don't want it to rush the animation but for a slow connection I obviously want it to adjust the release time and maybe even the travel speed to compensate.
I had an idea of maybe working out the percentage loaded divided by 42 and then run an if statement to see if that percentage for that segment had been reached before 100millseconds had passed, if 100 had passed then release the rectangle, if not then hold the rectangle until 100 m/s had passed. Not sure if that is the best way to do but that's why I'm looking for some suggestions from more experienced developers.
I have a map of the US and each state has a rollover that changes the color of the state...what i am trying to figure out is how to click on the state and have text appear to the side of the US map and have that text stay up until the user clicks on another state.
I am trying to make a program that dermines if sides can make a right triangle. The code that I made gives me that it cannot for everything except the sequence 3,4,5.

I saw the snow tutorial on this website and i plan on using it for 20 seconds (500 frames) in my introduction. It works perfectly fine, but after that time, it doesn't stop. It keeps on going and going and going... how to make it stop or make it go into the background? used the code provided by the tutorial. I know this is sudden by can someone answer today because i have to put it together before thursday.
I am trying to make a sprite button with graphics and can't make it work. I have successfully added text fields so I know the path is correct. I suspected my code was correct and confirmed it should be, after reading several tutorials showing the process for creating sprite buttons with graphics. Anyway, I imported nearly every class on Earth, but certainly everything which needs to be. Stage is gray and 800x600.The graphics code by itself with appear, but not when linked to the sprite. Also, the sprite won't appear no matter what. Another interesting piece of the puzzle: nothing will trace, not even objects such as textfields which actually appear and function on the stage when I text the code.

I was just curious if an array can make itself.ie, I want an array to be [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1] that sounds silly but there is a reason for it.So without having to say 1,1,1,1,1 dozens of times is it possible to just have some variables, 1, and 100, and have the array make 1, 100 times?or have while (array length = = 100? array = 1?
I want to make a "module" composed by an image and a text and make this clickable, how could I made this in AS? PS: to create the text I'm using the TextField(), what I have to use to make the image from a url?
I would like to make a screensaver with posibilitys to make notes like 3M post-it notes, the flash file should "remeber" the input that the user writes. I have the tools to make screensaver in Flash, but how to make such a flash file?

Is it possible for an end user to play with a swf, change layout, colours, etc... and then save it? Either as a new swf or the same one. Maybe push all the customizable data to a PHP or XML file and then every time you load that swf it retrieves that data from the PHP or XML file, therefore retaining the settings saved by the user.
How can I make my movies less laggy? so they run smoother and require less of the video card? Take this for example: [URL]..
I realize the frame is massive. but it's like three movie clips and i don't understand how people can develop such satisfying images without it lagging, and why mine are sooo dang slow.
can someone please help me or teach me how to make an animation where drawing is involved. its like this, im teaching preschoolers how to write letters and numbers. straight lines are easy to do but i could do the curve lines.
