I'm making a website and I want to know how to animate my buttons.this is an example of what I'd like my buttons to do. [URL]the buttons on the website above look abit advanced. when you click on the button, the patel of the flower sort of fall and then it grows back by it self.how did this person achieve this on her buttons?
View 1 RepliesThere are 2 buttons to animate the movieclip on moving right or left and making it appearing and disappearing. However, the button react after a few second the animation finish. Does anyone know how to make the button work faster? this is the script for those buttons
one of the button
on (press) {
if (tt == false) {
import mx.transitions.Tween;
[code]....
I would like to have a button animate on roll out, so if it fades to a color on mouse over it fades back on roll out. I understand you cant achieve this by putting action script on the button (well maybe you can) but is best achieved by placing action script on the frame and giving the button names etc.
View 1 RepliesI'm working with an ActionScript Classes file for some MovieClip buttons to animate In and Out. Everything is working the way it should but I would like the button to stay indicated once clicked on and then animate out once a new button is selected. The way I set it up in the past isn't very efficient and the next project I'm working on is going to be a lot of buttons. Trying to learn something more efficient.
Here is the AS class code:
class ButtonClass extends MovieClip {
public function ButtonClass() {
this.onRollOver = this.Over;
this.onRollOut = this.Out;
} private function Over() {
this.gotoAndPlay("Over");
} private function Out() {
this.gotoAndPlay("Out");
}}
And then for the MC button in the FLA:
b1.btnMC.btnText.text = "PORTFOLIO";
b2.btnMC.btnText.text = "CONTACT";
I have a small mask that I need to animate across the stage in response to clicking various buttons. It has to go a different distance each time depending on which button is clicked along the x axis. I can get at the starting and ending x co-ordinates. need to develop a set of x cordinates so that the mask starts moving fast and slows down as it gets nearer - kind of like the easing effect. I figured using some sort of simple 1/x^2 expression and have spent an hour or so fiddling in excel. Trouble is its a LONG TIME since I did maths, and I can't remember what formula to use. Have tried google with "parabola", "simple curves" etc etc
View 3 Repliesi am using MCloader to load my swf in my main swf and i keep running in the same issue around the site.using all the same button script and style in labels.... sometimes they work like they should and sometimes they just don't got to the over or out state?!
here's an exemple::
Code:
//---------------Buttons intro---------------\
btnintromc.onRollOver = function () {
btnintromc.gotoAndPlay("over");
[code]....
the "btnintromc" when clicked load the right swf in the mcloader on the main swf (so the onRelease work fine)but the animation just don't work, that's really bugging me because it's the same button and same script as in the main swf but for some reason it just wont work?
The title pretty much sums up what I am trying to do: I haven't started digging into using script in Flash yet, still being very much a beginner.
I created a simple file using movie clips nested in buttons so that when I mouseover a letter, it bobs up and down, but I can't work out how to make it return to its original "up" state *smoothly* when the mouse is moved away. If it must involve script please be aware I am a total noob!
I have a simple website that I am making in Flash. It is four pages and the backgrounds are in one long horizontal sequence.So each page is 1000px wide, so the entire photoshop file which I imported into Flash is 4000px wide.
I made buttons so that when the user clicks, Flash moves to that area of the long photoshop file.I did this using frame labels.
Here is the problem. Right now the pages are jumping one to the other and I want them to move fluidly like a motion tween (which I have set up, but does not seem to be working). The reason I made one long file was because I wanted to be able to do this.[code]...
I got a Website.as file that loads 4 library's movie clip's on the stage in certain positions.. Clip_A Clip_B Clip_C Clip_D
Clip_A loads on the top left side , Clip_B on top right , Clip_C in Middle and Clip_D low right position.
What i need to do and understand is how can i tell that class to find a button inside Clip_B and play a certain frame in Clip_C?
I just started using Adobe Flash CS4. I am a newbie and do not have flash experience other than teaching myself how to do it. Problem. I have a website template that allows full customization and has 4 flashing text buttons on the header. Everything has been working flawlessly until this....When I go to change the text for any one of the text buttons it changes the text in all of the other text buttons regardless of what I do.
View 13 RepliesI designed a flash banner with buttons. I am trying to get those buttons linked to other pages in my website. I have tried several methods but none appear to work. The first thing I tried to was to assign the buttons to my other webpages through using the behaviours under the windows tab in Flash CS4. It worked when using the publish preview option (preview in flash) and choosing Flash, but when I went to add the banner to my webpage through Dreamweaver, the buttons would not work. I tried another method and used actionscript 3.0. I kept getting errors.

I am have about 80% of a my website built and buttons all mapping where they should go, along with a number of XML driven BANNER ROTATORS/ACCORDIAN MENUS...ect
This site requires users to be signed in, which is done through a site previous to mine. Once they log in, they can click a button which then allows them access to my site.
My site has three "user levels" or "autentication levels" as we have "Managers", "Supervisors" and "Staff" levels.
For testing purposes, we have placed the below actionscript in the first frame of my project. The purpose of this actionscipt is to reference the "authentication level" that the user is using (as they will have already signed in so we are simply looking to obtain their "auth level").

I have a few questions on creating some animated buttons for a nav. There are 2 actions I want to trigger on moue over. If I want to use a static (PNG) image that I created in Photoshop for the actual button, can I use that? I want to smoothly slide button down on mouse-over and slide back up on mouse off. If I push part of the button off the "canvas" (sorry, this is coming from a Photoshop guy) will it disappear in the final animation? Another way to put that is, if I put an animated element off the white area, will it no longer show up in the movie (.swf) when it's published?
For the second part; you can see a bit of what I want to do if you look at this website's top Nav: [URL] I need the "light" above the button and it's going to be on another colored <div> so I can't set one solid BG color for my flash document. But I want to achieve the effect of the "bar" lighting up above the button and the actual button sliding down upon moue over.
Playing with first Flash website (cs4, as2) Made a series of buttons that successfully open several "pages" (frames)Problem is these buttons toggle; that is they will open the right page, but when hit again will open another page.[code]

I'm having an issue with my website design and as I'm relatively new to flash I can't seem to fix it on my own. I know what I'm supposed to do, technically, but not sure how to actually implement it. Below is a picture of my timeline: What my problem is that the buttons for navigating my pages (bio, news, projects, links, etc.) are nested inside of my Navigation MC (on the Navigation layer) and so they appear in the timeline (at frame 20) before my content does (frame 70). Because of this, the buttons can't be aimed at the content because their code is run before the content even exists.
I'm guessing that what I need to do is to instantiate my content at a point in the timeline before the navigation/buttons occur... but as the content is the last part of my loading animation, I'm not sure how to do that. I read something about adding the MC's but keeping them invisible, then making them visible again at teh appropriate time, but I don't know how to do that or if it would somehow mess with my animation (everything fades in one item after the other, with the content being the last part).

i need to disable all buttons on my website (flash) at a certain time. At the moment i no that
button.enabled = false
will disable the button...I need to do this with about 10 buttons. Is there a way to disable ALL buttons in a more convenient way?I thought of looping i, button1, button2, button3..But my buttons are not named like this, and would not be suitable to do so!
I have been building a website in dreamweaver, but have flash buttons which work fine. But the banner I have made in the page just has a white background.

View 2 RepliesIn my buttonView class I have a function to add all my button_mc's depending on what's in my XML file.

View 2 RepliesNow my website is up and running, (functionality wise, not so much with the content yet), but I've noticed a problem with the buttons.They work for me on my Mac in Safari and Chrome, but not in Firefox. On my PC the buttons work in Chrome but not IE. They work sometimes, on some computer/ browser combinations, and not on others. On my friends mac, they would not work in any browser, chrome included.(Even the same computer/browser combinations don't seem to have continuity).It's seemingly at random when they do or don't work.I went ahead and added html links to to the top of my page, so people could still get around without being able to use the buttons, but its really is a drag that i've worked on this so hard and yet they have less than a 50% working rate.I have tried using flash help, tried researching the topic in forums, debugging, etc, with no luck! I have no errors in my code.I have no idea what is causing their limited functionality. Here is my website URL so you can take a look at my site and my html for embedding the flash if you want: [code]my site has a preloader, so i don't think its an issue of the page being loaded fully. My links are absolute/concrete html links. They are not relative to any folder structure nor are they pointing to files on my hard drive. I almost feel like it's a security setting on some browsers not to let flash take them to external websites.Is there some way for flash to override browser security settings?I'm just using the wrong keywords?about the extra script on my buttons; I have them set up so that they load and unload a movie clip appropriate to each respective button inside of a frame on the stage, each time you mouse over and out of them.
View 0 RepliesI am building a website that is all in flash.In the first frame there are 6 buttons. Each button has a code to go to a different place in the timeline, where something happens. For example, one of the buttons has this code:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("web");
}
Another button has this code:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("widgets");
}
And so on.Everything happens on the same timeline.When I publish the movie to test it (ctrl+enter), everything works great.The problem happens when I upload the file to my ftp and try to view it online. In that case, when pressing one of the buttons, instead of jumping to the place in the timeline where it should go, it just continues on to the next frame on the timeline. So for example if I press the "web" button, instead of going to the label "web" it just continues on to frame 2 in the timeline, and then 3,4,5 and so on until there is a stop(); in the actionscript.
After the first press though, it goes back to working fine. Meaning, the second time I press the "web" button, it will go to the "web" label, and from the second click onwards everything works great. it's just the first click on ALL the buttons that doesn't work, although it does work locally...
i'm trying to make a website in a number of buttons and layers. In one section i need to have an if statement on the buttons as where in the timeline they go is dependant on where the user is (this location is set in a variable called "destination".
The problem is that when i have = in the if statement it bypasses the first section and only does the else action (ie trace ("else")), and if i put == in the statement it only does the first action (ie trace ("gallery")) no matter what "destination" is.
here is my code:
on (release){
if (destination = "gallery"){
trace ("gallery");
}else{

I have some code below which creates a background and buttons for a basic website. The site consists of 8 sections, with photos, text, etc.I am trying to "_Alpha" fade the entire page upon page Load. I want each page to have the "_Alpha" effect. So I need a function or a correct call to place on each page's code.For some reason, my code below works for the entire page and one button, but the rest of the buttons, still show up instantly. Notice a few lines below where I actually do my tween call, "//Alpha Ease-In". I am using "this" for my tween, but I have tried "_root", and even each button "_root.but1", etc. but it still seems to give me partial results. Anyone know how to correctly tween the entire page upon load?[code]

I have created a flash website in cs4 using AS2. I have 2 layers in my time line, content and AS. I created scenes along the time line and labeled each scene "about" "contact" etc.Each scene is 10 frames long and has the stop action applied to it. The gotoAndPlay command is applied to each button within the scene and I have used the folowing action on the buttons to link the pages:on (release) {gotoAndPlay("scenename");}This does link the pages however if i hit any of the buttons twice, it directs me to the wrong page. For example if I hit the home button twice, it will direct me to the about page. Should I be targeting a frame within the scene also?

View 3 RepliesI'm setting up a website and im using flash as a menu, but my problem is when I click on a button to go to a new page it redownloads the flash files, not just the menu but also my flash banner.
This only happens the very 1st time i click on the menu but its still very annoying having to wait for it to redownload again when it should already be there saved.
The problem does not happen if I use the html links on the page just the geturl links from flash.
