I have created a dynamic accordion style navigation button using both Falsh and XML.I have the XML loading at a certain keyframe after the navigation button is fully expanded creating 7 sub navigation buttons which link to a certain website.
The Issue I'm having is when the user rolls off the button the it collaspes but the 7 sub navigation buttons still remain.

I have been requested to create a website similar to the one on this page: [URL] I'm familiar with flash and some actionscript, but would anyone be able to provide feedback on how this site would be best be done?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to get some accordion style btns to close if the mouse leave the stage.here's the code I have in place thus far:
stop();
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, closeall);function closeall(event:Event):void {
if (btn1.currentFrame != 0) { btn1.gotoAndPlay(10); } if (btn2.currentFrame != 0) { btn2.gotoAndPlay(10); } if (btn3.currentFrame != 0) { btn3.gotoAndPlay(10); } if (btn4.currentFrame != 0) { btn4.gotoAndPlay(10); }
}
If my cursor leaves the stage nothing happens?
Having some strange problems with masks in FMX 04: We're developing an accordion style interface. The problem is that buttons and images/mcs that are outside the "masked area" of each module are somehow clickable, or are "invisibly" pushing other content up/down. So basically the buttons/mcs are hidden, but Flash is still seeing them somehow. Is this normal mask behavior? Is there a solution besides setting the button to _visible = false? This is effecting my interface in other ways as well.
View 2 Repliesso i am working on some buttons that are arranged in a vertical group. When you click on one it expands pushing the others away, and collapsing when clicked again bringing them back together. I thinking it would be easiest to make each button how i want it, then have some code that keeps each button x pixels away from each other...make sense?
View 1 RepliesWas hoping to get some advice here. Having trouble with what would seem to be a basic navigational system for an iPad presentation. I have, for this example, 5 pages in my library which I've added into an array.The effect I'm aiming for, when the user swipes to go to the next page, it should:
- Add the next page to stage using addChild (out of view)
- Tween the current page out of view, tween the next page into view
- Remove the old page using removeChild.
The reasoning for this is I will have a large amount of pages with heavy animation and I'm trying to avoid having them all present on stage at once to prevent a drop in FPS.
Here is my code so far. I've tried a few things such as trying to re-set currentPage with the array but have had no luck. Been pulling my hair out for a few hours now!

I have an accordion component on my stage and I really do not even know where to start to do .I found this code on the Adobe help pages and it causes the movement of the accordion to bounce... which is great... but my problem is populating the accordion with the data.

import mx.transitions.easing.*;
top_acc.createChild(View, "first", {label:"FIRST", icon: vt[i]});[code]........
My accordion is called "top_acc".I have three(3) labels... (FIRST,SECOND, and THIRD) Within there i would like arrays to be displayed for the select label.My arrays are defined and when i trace them i get exactly what i am looking for... the format of the code to add an array to my accordion...then upon selecting the item in the array displayed i would to be able to display that same array value in a text box called "my_selection" ....also the amount of items in the array are not static and change day to day..

View 14 RepliesA scene with many dynamic text and several graphic. Example :
ActionScript Code:
some dynamic texts
hostname.text_ep0.text = "response from AMFPHP";
hostname.text_ep1.text = "response from AMFPHP";
hostname.text_ep2.text = "response from AMFPHP";
my_percentage_bar_ep0._width = "response from AMFPHP";
my_percentage_bar_ep1._width = "response from AMFPHP";
my_percentage_bar_ep2._width = "response from AMFPHP";
But what I want to do now its to associate each label textfield (hostname.text_ep2.text) and let's call them dynamic graphic (my_percentage_bar) to a panel of an accordion component. I drag an accordion on the scene and I want each panel to contain 1 dynamic text and 1 dynamic graphic.
ActionScript Code:
my_acc.createChild(View, "panel_ep0", {label: "Stats from node 0"});
my_acc.createChild(View, "panel_ep1", {label: "Stats from node 1"});
my_acc.createChild(View, "panel_ep2", {label: "Stats from node 2"});

View 2 RepliesI want to add a button with a cross to the header of the accordion which can be clickable. that means i want to display a message when the some one click on that button. i go through many of the samples in the web but couldn't get it done.
I tried with also a CanvasButtonAccordionHeader, it shows the button but when i click it, it didn't give the message although i created the click event handler.
I must say I'm pretty new to AS3.0 and last night I tried to develop this accordion menu. It's not XML driven nor does it use AS3.0 to create each "button". What I did was create individual "menus", basically like drop down menus, and converted them into separate movieClips. Also inside of them there's a button movieClip which is the larger one that opens the menu (instanced "btn"), a reference movieClip called tabHeight to define its height - since it can depend on the number of "sub-menus" you have - and a tabMask that onClick (is supposed) to open and reveal the "sub-menus" while making everything move according to that change. I want it to basically start with all menus closed and onClick it reveals each menu, making the necessary y movements. I am getting some errors and I can't make it to work.
Code:
Select allvar growingTab:Object;
var reducingTab:Object;
var tabArray:Array = [tab_0, tab_1, tab_2, tab_3];
for (var i:int = 0; i < tabArray.length; i++) {
var tab = tabArray[i];

I'm trying to create a "floating" style navigation similar to the link below but WITHOUT and 3D effect. Just text/navigation that is floating and reacting ever so slightly to the xmouse/ymouse and maybe scaling on rollover or something...I don't know where to start...
anyone have a tutorial or link that has something similar in effect?[URL]..and also the "solutions" section of this site, although this doesn't really interact with xmouse/ymouse[URL]..
and here is another that uses imagery and full screen...[URL]..

Can I style the above line in a Flash Dynamic Textfield? If so how?
I'm using some dynamic text fields in my movie. When I change their contents in my code, they revert to the default style. For example, in the movie, they are Helvetica, style 75 bold. But when I update them with mytextfield.text = "something else", they revert to Helvetica regular. I have all the right styles embedded.
View 2 RepliesI am building a dynamic movie clip scoller in flash the swf at the moment returns all the images from the db using an asp page and does display them side by side! I am using a method of loading that I am not 100% sure about as I need to make the whole thing scroll left to right style....and right to left....
The code for this loading is ..
myLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
function loadPics() {
myY = 0;
myX = 0;
for (i=0; i<=_root.image_array_length-1; i++) {
_root.attachMovie("image", "image"+i, i);
this["image"+i]._x = myX;
etc...
Now when I am making this scroll I am confused as to what to target to make scroll - the 'image' movieclip is in the library and uses linkage identifer of 'image' for the script... and also seems to sit on the highest layer/depth each time....
I'm using flash for the first time to create my graphic design portfolio and I'm having trouble keeping the file size small, and can reduce it by (hopefully) doing the following:
My resume has a lot of classic tweens with alpha channels (to create fadein/fadeout effects) and as of right now, I need to create a separate layer of fadein, fadeout for each transition. IE: My resume to portfolio page needs one 20-frame transition, my portfolio page to resume needs a 20-frame transition, my 2nd page of my portfolio page to my biography needs a 20-frame transition, etc. It's getting out of hand.
I could easily remedy this by using a lot of separate fadeins fadeouts and then coding buttons to navigate from, say, frames 120-130 (resume fadeout) then go to frame 160-170 (biography fadein), then navigate to a static page. I'm not sure if this is possible, as my buttons would have to change functions each frame.
Another possible way is that currently for each button I have different layers in order to direct the button to different frames, and have placing hem in the same spot. I'm wondering if there's any way to have buttons go to separate frames on different frames, if you get what I mean (on frame 120 it'll go to 130, on frame 150 it'll go to 160 but still be the same button". Right now each button is coded with on release gotoandplay <frame>.
Im trying to make a menu with xml dynamic text with a style sheet (so i can change the font, colour, size e.t.c. via css) that reeds from the xml file and places the correct amount of buttons on stage based on the xml nodes. Here is a fla that ive been working on.

My functioning navigation bar is called like this:
_root.attachMovie("navigation_cb", "navigation_mc", 100000);
I want to have dynamic text on the navigation bar that I can changecontroll on different frames, so I added a dynamic text box inside the navigation movie clip. On the frame (in the main time line) that I want the text in the dynamic text box to change, I have this:
_level100000.navigation_mc.mainTxt2.text = "Introduction";
//where mainTxt2 is the var name of the dynamic text box...
//no luck however...not working
if the dynamic text box needs to live at _root, (taken out of the navigation_mc) then how do I get it to appear above level100000?
I'm trying to create a simple button that has an animation in it after you click it. Specifically a clockwise circle animates. PacMan dieing is a good example of what i'm trying to do. Think of a pizza pie and every sec a slice gets taken out till its all gone. Is there a programmatic way of achieving this in ActionScript 3 or do i have to manually animate it in photoshop?
I know how to make a button i'm just not sure how to animate it. If all else fails i think i'm going to grey out the button and then start a countdown from 9 down to 1 then re-enable it.
I am trying to create a Dynamic flash Navigation Menu which will disable the button of the page you are on leaving the button in the "hit" state and then active it once you have called for a new page and deactivate the new button. I know this can be done with movie clips and some old school gotoAndPlay/Stop slight of hand but I would like to do this in actionscript so its nice, clean, and scalable for other projects.

I am working on a navigation for a page that consists of an image container, a text block, and a navigation. I have all the content in an xml file that is loaded and parsed placing each part of the site in its respectable spot. My question is I need to have the data for this site change when a button in the nav is pressed, so that the image and desc content is passed that corresponds to its button. this is in flash 8, as 2.0.

i have a set of buttons cranked out from and XML file. how can i emulate, in code, a press on one of those buttons? i'd like to 'press' one of them for an initial state so that the list it controls will load first off instead of waiting for the person to click it manually and THEN show the list it's connected to. thing is, the first loaded list is going to be random, so i need to 'press' what on another day/load would be a button that the user would press themselves.
in other words, i have 3 buttons. on random, i have to 'press', say button 2, to start. users can press 1 or 3 and then 2 again if they like. another time, it's button 1 that gets 'pressed' on load, etc. make sense? i have a sneaking suspicion it might be easy... or stupidly convoluted.
