I have been creating a dynamic Flash Navigation based on a tutorial I found online. I'm having issues aligning the MovieClip house all the array names from My XML file. I'm using:
[Code]...
I'm using this code for aligning a navigation to the bottom of my browser.
Code:
fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
[Code]....
The problem that i'm having is that when the timeline gets to the point where the slider is used the fscommand("allowscale", false); takes over the original fscommand used for the nav. I need to use both, as the slider only seems to work properly with that code, and likewise with the bottom aligned navigation.
How can i get around this? I want to align my navigation to the bottom of the browser at all times, yet have my slider be relevant to the browser when it's being used.
Is there another way to align the nav to the bottom of the browser? Maybe and onEnterframe();?
How do you align a dynamic movie clip position with another movie clip which is in the root stage? I tried to get the mc in root x,y position, but the starting point of the class that loads the dynamic MC does not seems to be accurate. (Meaning at the root stage, the x,y is 0,0 but at the dynamic class, its somewhere like 100,20 for the browser area (and it actually vary base on the browser size))
**the other classes I used to run the custom classes below, I have it added this MC to stage
var blocker:stageBlocker=new stageBlocker();
this.stage.addChild(blocker);
Below is the dynamic MC. Should I not add it to its own "stage"?
public class stageBlocker extends MovieClip {
private var blocker:MovieClip= new MovieClip();
public function stageBlocker():void {

I'm just trying to load a videostream, align in the center of the stage and put it on the first visible layer.This code just loads it but align it on top-left of stage and under some layers that forbid it to be seen.[code]
View 5 RepliesI am trying to get a bunch of attached movie clips have a different widths for certain clips
var words_list = [["a"], ["a", "-", "b", "ou","-" "t"],["we","-","jk"-"h"]
I am attaching each letter into a separate movie clip. When I get to a "-" sign I want to clip to be smaller in width. The problem I am having is that all the clips are the same distance apart and I need them to be different widths depending on if its a "-" or a letter.

I have a movieclip within the main clip called "playPause" which starts with the Pause button shown. When clicked the movie clip moves to show the play button and pauses the current parent movie with the AS "_parent.stop();" when the play button is then pressed the movie plays via "_parent.play();" and reverts back to showing the pause button.
Simple so far. What is getting me is if I add a movie clip within the parent (say some scrolling object) I cannot get the added clip to pause. For example say the "parent" movie clip the playPause moveclip is within is called "intro" and the moving object is called "introObject" which is embedded in a frame along with "playPause"
What I have setup for the playPause buttons is for pausing
_root.introObject.stop();
and playing
_root.introObject.play();
I am aligning my display objects in the middle. stage.stageWidth/2. for some reason, they are aligning further off to the right of the screen. I haven't altered anything but the stage width in flash. Has anyone heard of this problem? Again, I haven't done anything except widen the screen and adjust the height.
My focus point on the display object is top left. So it aligns perfectly when set to 0,0
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.stageWidth = 300;
I want to accomplish the same thing with code that Flash's Align - Align Bottom Edge button does within the IDE. I have a series of move clips of different heights which are all added to the stage dynamically via XML. When they are all added, I want to then align them - does flash provide a method for doing this with code? Or is the only way to do it to detect their heights and adjust them by the height difference?
View 2 RepliesI'm using swfobject to inject my swf. My SWF basically initiates a webcam and prompts the user for access to the cam. Problem is whenever I center align the div that contains the swf object the Allow/Deny button seems to be unresponsive/not clickable. It's the oddest thing.
View 1 RepliesI am working on some schematic animations and need to implement some button driven navigation with a slight difference from the norm that I can't figure out how to do...
I'd like to start playing a movieclip which would then pause halfway through. The user would then be able to click one of a selection of buttons which would trigger the movie clip to start playing again and then load the next movie clip based on the button pressed. This means I could show the intro of the animation and then following a button press, show the outro before moving to the next selected clip.
I am testing out some gaia framework things, more specific a navigation.Now i have on the nav.fla a movieclip called total_nav, where my buttons reside.now i found the tutorial about creating pages & navigation inside gaia but when i make my code like this:
total_nav.button1:MovieClip;
i get errors inside the navPage.as file. more specific, it seems i can't write total_nav.button1, but then how do i link from the class into the total_nav clip so i can access button1 and button2.The thing is i need to have the navigation in a movieclip(nested) cuz i want to move it, during the project to specific values.how i can use nested movieclip for my navigation like so?
Code:
class pages.NavPage extends AbstractPage
{
private var buttons:Array;[code]....
I want to play 2 separate labels in a movie clip in any order when clicking a button that lives inside that movie clip.
Here's what I have on the button:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("location_rev");
gotoAndPlay("residences");
}
Currently, the playhead is going to "residences," entirely skipping "location_rev." I've thought of an if statement to ask Flash to play "residences" when arriving at the end of "location_rev," but I'm not entirely sure how to go about that.
I'm new to Actionscript 3, and what I'm trying to do is build a navigation menu. What I did is I made a movieclip, added two listeners to it, MOUSE_OVER, and MOUSE_OUT, the MOUSE_OVER tells the menu to play, so it then animates the opening of it. The problem though, that when I put my mouse on the buttons themselves, the menu thinks that the mouse is out of it. I understand that the mouse left the menu itself and entered some other object. I thought of making a new rectangle, and on the mouse out, to check whether the mouse is really out of the menu's regions, it didn't work though.
View 1 RepliesI am making a navigation for a site, and the client wants a box behind a menu item to show that it is the active option. He wants that box to move to behind the new option when selected. So my navigation goes along the x axis; home contact about etc. Initially the box, which I have given the instance name 'tab' is behind 'home' as its the homepage.
So by clicking on say, the third option, the box will move from home to the third option, and say the user then clicks the second option, the box is to move to behind that. I got 4 navigation items, all are buttons, all on their own layer with the box being on its own layer too (obviously below the layers for the buttons so it appears behing the menu item).
I thought it would be quite simple, have some code which effectively says:
buttom1.on(release) {
tab.moveto(x value, 40);
}
Here is how my movie is set up.
Frame one -> MovieClip #1
Frame two -> MovieClip #2
within each movieclip there are 10-15 frames.
Here's the problem. I want to be able to go from frame one in MovieClip#2 to the last frame in MovieClip#1, via a button click.
How to set the yellow focus rect to a movieclip to enable tab navigation? This is my current code:
mymc.tabEnabled = true
stage.focus = mymc
i've got a problem where i use the code below to communicate with another movie clip on the stage (from inside a movieclip), i don't get any errors and i even put a trace command to test it so i know it is going to that particular frame but visually it doesn't change, done the usual research, tried using a frame label instead of a frame number and also using root instead of parent.
[Code]...
none is a frame label by the way! extra info:- what i'm trying to do is integrate an as3/xml slideshow into a website which is no problem, however my menu is in another movieclip so its making it difficult to 'unload' the slideshow correctly without having an exit button (exitBtn) and hiding the navigation (menu2)
I want to align some text to a path but I want it so that the each letter in the text follows the path and goes around curves and stuff. I don't just want a block of text following the path. This is what I am getting no

My code above works absolutely fine, until i resize my browser window to a size below 800px width. When the browser window is make of lesser width than 800px, the canvas with background color #A8A8A8 is on the right of the window, but the problem is, when I move the scroll bar, the canvas should remain on the right of the window. Which does not happen, and that is what my problem is.
How can I solve this issue. What should I do to keep my canvas be on the right=0 all the time.
I just migrated from CS3 to CS4 I have a set of navigation buttons which are in text now. I need the first left word to be at 100 align left and the last text word to be at 800 align right there are 3 other buttons in the middle. How in the world do I align all these with keeping the far left word and far right words where against their lines and keeping the spacing inbetween all the same? I tried this with keeping the text as text and using the align tools, paragraph tools then converting all the text to an mc and still can't get it right. I pic of what I need to do is in the attached.

View 2 Replies[URL]The black square is "square_mc", it's X/Y is at its center/center point.The blue circles are all inside a clip called "circles_mc", it's X/Y center is NOT at its center/center of the circles -- in fact, it could be 100 or 200 or 300 pixels to the left, right, top or bottom of where the blue circles are within it.
I need to align and scale the circles_mc over the square_mc to fit within the edges of the square_mc. But I can't use the circles_mc X/Y information to position it.How do you do that? I can get the scaling right, but I don't know how to align them one over the other as I described.
I have a movie clip (menu2_mc) containing a navigation menu, which I want to have appear always on the middle of the screen and at the bottom say 15 pixels in even when the window is resized.I followed a tut by kevin schmitt which allows the background to be fullscreen on a resize. I have been able to center the clip on screen but still having problems nutting out how to change the y coordinates on a screen resize.

I am trying to read data from a XML and then create a match-them kind of game where one set of choices are listed one on top of other and another set is on a row above them one after the other with the text aligned vertically.I have the whole thing working out perfectly but the only problem is that I am not able to display the text vertically. I did some searching and turns out that Dynamic and Input Text boxes can not display vertically oriented texts. I thought about creating static textfields at run time but couldn't find an option to vertically orient the text in the formatting options.I tried rotating the movieclips after the textfields have been created but as soon as the clips are rotated, the text disappears.
