ActionScript 2.0 :: Building Page Transition In Flash - Variable Navigation?
Apr 5, 2010
I am trying to build a page transition in Flash. The way I have it set up right now is as follows:
1) I have a movieClip with the transition animation.
2) I have two buttons, both MovieClips. And the actions layer of my timeline is scripted as follows:
Code:
stop();
mybutton1.onRelease=function(){
navVar="firstpage"
_root.transitionClip.play();
} mybutton2.onRelease=function(){
navVar="secondpage"
_root.transitionClip.play();
}
3) The last from of my Transiition movieClip I have this code:
Code:
stop()
if(navVar=="firstpage"){
_root.gotoAndPlay(navVar);
}else if(navVar=="secondpage"){
_root.gotoAndPlay(navVar);
}
When I click on the buttons, they are loading the transitionClip movieClip. But they are not moving to the correct framelabel after they hit the last frame of that movieClip.
I am trying to create a page transition that will play a movieCLip transition into a page. and then it stops then when another button is pressed, it will play that transition out while loading the appropriate one. In the attached FLA, if you click on the red button first, the blue transition plays,
it works correctly/ Playing out of the blue Transition and into the Red transition. However if I click it again it does the opposite, and just keep alternating.
If I add the
_root.transitionClip2.play("out");
to the first button then, nothing works right. I will eventually have more buttons, and may need to use a variable to control which "out" transitions is played, but how do I get the buttons to do this?I just want it to exit the current movie clip and play the "in" section of the desired clip.
Looking for way to create page transition for flash website as in Mac OS when you minimize window its like getting sucked in pipe in lower left of the screen. where i find plugin or how i create that from scratch?
I have created a movieclip button which is animated for all the states I need (up, over, out, etc.) it's made up of text, which is in a movie clip where I have my animations created (actions layer with AS3 script, my txt movieclip layer, my hit layer) and then that is inside a movie clip in my main scene.Is it possible to copy that button, so then change the text, Actionscript, instance name, etc?I tried copying the layer (by selecting the frames and copying frames, and pasting to new layer) but when I make any changes, it changes both copies!
Basically I want to make a navigation with a seemless transition. One with an intro but NO outro so to speak. I've also skimmed through kirupa to look for similar scripts and I've found a couple of interesting scripts but don't really know how to append and reorganize em into global.functions and other stuffz.
MovieClip.prototype.backward = function() { this.gotoAndStop(this._totalframes); this.onEnterFrame = function() { this.gotoAndStop(this._currentframe-1); If you can have a -1 can you also play the timeline frames by typing 1 instead? [Code] .....
Is it possible to make page transition effect using flash MX. The entire home page is made using flash. When the user clicks on the links the page transition (that is like when we turn the pages in a book ) comes and next page comes.

I have visited the [URL]. I like the most of the things in this site but the only thing which really amazed me is the navigation bar. On mouse over the menu the background picture transition take place. I guess there are three pictures, and they are doing it with the Action script.
From this example image attached, I have created many instances on my stage, let's say that for each instance I would like to go to a new section that has a different layout. What is the action script that will move my frame to the right location for example, let's say on one of the instance I have a button that says contact. On one of the buttons, what action script to I have to put in so that it navigates there when someone press it, I would think "on press" go to instance tab contact something of that nature.
I have a Flash MX navigation on an html page and I want to set up the buttons so that onRelease they will go to named sections on that html page; Thru the use of the <A NAME></A> <A HREF></A> tags.
I'm building a dynamic content page in flash that consists of using attachMovieClip and createEmptyMovieClip with coordinates to place photos and objects, which are loaded from an external source and scrolling their thumbnails I've run into a problem setting the variables correctly because the scrolling thumbnails required that the thumbnails be nested inside a scrolling controller clip and that has somehow messed up my preloading and sequential text caption loading for the tumbnails.
I am working on a project that I need to create a flash navigation bar for a html site. There will be a drop down menu when you rollover the buttons on the nav bar, which means the drop down menu will be overlaying on top of the html pages. I saw websites were done like this before, but I personally don't know how to do it.
I am using the following code for my Navigation in a FLash CS4 file:
stop (); function buttons(event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndStop(event.target.name); } home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons); services.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons); about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons); contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
It works great when I am on the home page, but stops working once I navigate to any of the other pages. I have an Actions layer and that layer extends the full length of all pages/frames of the timeline.
I have the frames labeled as such: home, services, about, and contact. (All are "Type:Name")
each button is named as such: home/ instance of "home", services/instance of "services", etc.
i have a flash banner with navigation and want the flash to keep track of what page the user is on in order to give the user some kind of indication of where they are.ALSO i want the banner to animate / do some stuff ONLY on first visit to the site, i.e. if they navigate away from the site or close their browser window i want some kind of variable to reset so it will replay the animation on next visit.
i always see some fancy/complex/elements got random motion: flash home page navigation, such as [URL] I just wondering is it very complex/hard to make one? & How can a newbi, like me get started to make one? does it involve complex/advanced actionscript?
I am trying to add several FLA videos on the same flash page and control them with different navigation buttons.So, Button 1 to play video 1, Button 2 to play video 2, etc .I have already put two navigation buttons and added two videos.However, I need to know Action Script to enable navigation button to do above.
I would like to make the site below. [URL] I want to do a transition in and out First, In the site (btn1) 1st page( mc?) is slided in, and then, when click the buttons in the navigation bar is clicked (btn2) to go to 2nd page 1st page will be slide out, then

Alright, I wanna know how toave a transition animation play when the user moves to another section in a Flash site.Would it be possible to make the entire timeline of a loaded movieclips play backwards to the 1st frame before it is unloaded and the next section is loaded in? or is there some more advanced AS involved in having an outro transition?
Everything was going great with the advanced buttons and external page transitions.. But when I add a preloader the external pages no longer load.[code]I'm assuming its something here.. Like I need to tell it something like its off the _root. now because of the preloader being on a sense before.[code]
I have my site set up so each page is its own movieclip, and when my buttons get clicked, they tween alpha out from the current page and then tween alpha in to the desired page.This works most of the time, but I do get those odd occurrences where the tween (whether it be from fade in or fade out) just stops - leaving the page with a half alpha.I've tried everything from renaming my variables in my functions to making them the same names, and to no avail.
CODE var currentPage:MovieClip = index; var nextPage:MovieClip;
I've been working on a site that would look like an interface of an Ipad..and I just want to know what code should i put when I click on 1 icon appliction..it would switch to another page..but the transition movement is like the new page will zoom in to full screen.
