I new to flash and I am trying to create a menu similar to the one in this tutorial: [URL] I was able to do so with no problems, but I would like the pages, or rectangles (content 1 movie clip, content 2 movie clip, etc) to also be hyperlinks to different pages. In other words, the user should be able to click on the big rectangles to get to other pages. I tried making them button symbols instead of movie clip symbols, but that broke the sliding menu- the rectangles no longer moved when buttons were clicked. I tried adding a getURL action to onRelease for the movie clips, but I get an error and from what I read, this cannot be done with Actionscript 2.
How I could make a sliding/scrolling menu of images(sideways) with links and those images should dynamically loads from lets say a directory or something like that and can easily control/change image and url in a simple external text file( heres a sample of what it should look like: [URL] the bottom part. How to achieve the sliding menu image that loads dynamically.
I am trying to do the following: I have a project file open in CS4. It currently has a background image which is locked. I want to include a menu with links/sublinks on the left side, a corporate video in the middle and another video on the right. The menu on the left (links/sublinks) simultaneously controls the other two videos. If the user clicks the 'stop' link, both videos stop. I would also like to include a scrubber, to control the video (play, pause, rewind, mute).
I am trying to do this in pieces - first get the video imported and playing, then create scrubber/playcontrols, then incorporate second video, and finally add the menu (links/sublinks). I have created sites with Flash, but this project has me baffled. I have spent months on it. As an example - I am struggling just to import the first video. Do I embed it? It seems as though each time I import the video, it does something different. I was told to embed it into the timeline (each frame of video would be on its own frame in the Timeline). This would alleviate AV synch issues, and allow me to control everything at once.
I have created a sliding menu. But that is static( the number of rows are fixed). i want to create a menu with the number of rows dynamic.I have attached the fla file here.

I created a slide down menu and for the most part it works when you click on each link, but for some reason, it hangs if you have one link expanded and you click on another link:[URL].. I used an old .fla file and it worked fine but when I added an extra category to it, the menu went all crazy. I'm not sure how to fix it.
Lostinbeta utilises a sliding menu system with a delay so that the section head follows after the content. I have been looking around for a tutorial but haven't found one to date
I have a sliding menu. As one of the movies inside the contentHold i want to load an swf. I do this by going into the movie content2 and adding the following code:
The swf file works perfectly if i launch it separately, but when i try to launch it from the sliding menu all i see is the background of the clip and not the actual content.
im trying to create a cafe flash website in Flash CS5. My problem is that I know how to create regular buttons that point to different frames but i want to make the site nice. The only button that will be a drop down button is the Menu button that will give me soup, salad.My problem is that this type of vertical drop down menu will drop over other buttons. I want the buttons bellow the menu button to drop or shift down as well when the mouse cursor is over or clicking the menu buttonI have tried to search the internet to create a vertical sliding drop down menu but had no success.
However after loading this into another movie it wouldn't move, I made some changes and now it scrolls only to the left. Can someone please tell me what I have over looked ?????
I know that this tutorialas been here for a long time, but I started using it just now. It works fine, although I need to have the slides animate automatically.
I made (in fact assemble) an sliding menu wich works fine, the thing is i realized i need liquid layout in my site i cant make it work with this particular menu, i found nformation an i could make a flas movie with liquid layout but with simple mc.
movieclip: menu_mc (this is its instance name) code in keyframe: /// begin sliding code
I've created a sliding menu that has a left button and a right button. Each button slides a background movieclip to the left or right. The background mc eases into position when one of the buttons is clicked. Problem is that buttons can still be clicked while the mc is easing into position. This throws off my x coordinate positioning of the mc. I've tried disabling the buttons and enabling them again at a few different points in my code. I've also tried using a time delay to enable the buttons but my logic isn't working. I've stripped the code that was not working out.
I've ben through the Sliding menu tutorial on kirupa at:[URL]The effect is great although for my purposes I am trying toget rid of the elastic easing effect and get a even speed without easing. The overall effect I want to achieve is a more of a push and stop rather than the blocks being sprung into place. [URL]
I have used the sliding menu instructions from this site but seem to be messing it up somewhere despite having done it 8 times now. When i unzip the files, it comes with B1-5, Content 1-5, em and em2, holder and maskMovie. I assume they are for me to use.I think I am doing it all right up until the bit where I cover with a mask over content 1 which is held within the contentHoldDo I use the maskMovie or draw a box in myself?
My sliding, gliding thumbnail menu is located at the bottom of the page, and it reacts to the cursor movements as intended. However if I were to move the cursor around the page somewhere on the top the menu is still reacting to the cursor movements. I would like it to become inactive once the cursor off the menu. You can check the page at [URL] and then go to "applications".
The menu consist
[Code]....
The position of the cursor moves the Sliding Gliding animated menu even if it is not on bgClip_mc. For the first time it works as it should but once it is activated and I move the cursor away from the bounding parameters of the bgClip_mc the Sliding Gliding Menu is still reacting to the mouse movements.
I would like to use Sliding Menu (URL...) on my web site,how to I load the external movie when user lands on let's say slide 3 (content3)?From actions script given on page URL...Then, when user go to another slide, I would ultimately would like to unload/stop the loaded swf movie
i have a movie clip (mc_1) inside of this movieclip i made
-one button ("start") : by its event Roll_Over the animation (of mc_1) starts
-ten menu buttons (b_1,b_2,b_3,....,b_10) : at first they're not on the stage, but they appear one by one,frames by frames, after I rolled over "start".
-one invisible button (inv_btn): placed right under the area occupied by those previous buttons..by its RollOut event i make the menu rewind so the ten buttons disappera one after one other.
now i have to put the menu buttons inside an array (cause i made a script for dynamic loading images from XML) but i receive #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. this is why i put in the array buttons that at first doesn't even exist...and when the menu closes disappear again..how can I handle the situation?
//this is the array code i put in the first frame of mc_1. var bottone:Array = new Array(b_1,b_2,b_3,b_4,b_5,b_6,b_7,b_8,b_9); for(var i=0;i<bottone.length; i++) { var but_var:MovieClip = MovieClip(bottone[i]) but_var.buttonMode = true; but_var.id = i;
I want to know how can I make like this sliding menu, and also the intro of the website (likes a papers or book) and flower background (growing). [URL]
If you have a look at the attached sliding menu there are four buttons. Each button brings an image in place. I want the button that�s been clicked to remain red until I hit a different button, even when the cursor is not right in front.
im having troubles with this site. I made (in fact assemble) an sliding menu wich works fine, the thing is i realized i need liquid (fluent) layout in my site and i cant make it work with this particular menu.I found information an i could make work a flash movie with liquid layout but with two simple mc when i try to do the same with my menu (also an mc with some code attached) it no longer works.
