ActionScript 2.0 :: Complex Drop-Down/Layering?
Sep 2, 2004
I have 7 main navigation items, some of them have pop-out menus to the right with subnavigation. Current Example I'm trying to get it to behave like this:- You roll over Nav item 1, and Nav1's subnavigation shows to the right- You are able to still click on Nav item 1 or it's subnavigation and each will bring up content- When you roll off the area (nav1's area + subnav1's area), the submenu goes awayAs you can see, I've got Nav1's rollOver and rollOut working, but now I need to place a button area over "Musical Arts Center" (Nav1) so I can have an onRelease for that item

In a scene I have 8 MC's each MC has a stop() on frame one and frame ten.on click the MC plays till frame ten ( moving into the scene ) then waits for another click to return to its original location. [URL] Signs for below example, if you click on multiple signs on the right of the page they over lap each other I want it so if you click one and view it once you click another a play function is sent to the mc that is on the stage to send it back to its original docker.Right now I am using this script.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[code]....
can't find the variable, is this because it's in a movie clip?

I am currently coding a drag and drop style game where you drag a seed to a target and it plays an animation within the seed movieclip. I am using classes to import instances of the see onto the stage and the problem I am having is that the animation plays on top of everything on the stage in my .fla file. Is there a way to have the animation play under a layer on my main timeline? I've tried to find an answer to this problem but to no avail. I have attached my files

I'm not a Flash developer, but I'm working on a Flash advertising issue where a Flash ad (movie/SWF file) is sometimes having portions of its animation panels or timeline (specifically some text copy) getting stuck and then they stack/layer/overlap on top of each other at the end of the final frame of animation.We were able to reproduce this only sporadically in IE7 but someone else reported the issue using IE8.A screenshot of the portions that are overlapping is pasted further below.The "Dr. Ted Lawrence" and "A pioneer in tumor radiation therapy." text copy portions are sometimes getting stuck and are sometimes overlapping onto the final frame of the animation.
URL to the Flash SWF movie file:
http://s0.2mdn.net/1608548/umhs11_specialty_cancertreatment_728x90.swf
(AS2, published as Flash 8)
I do not have the .FLA file.Would that be needed to troubleshoot this issue further?I know I'm probably not using the correct terms exactly, etc,

Has anybody messed with PurePDF. I'm trying to set up a SWC library for it and I've gotten stuck on the layering part. If you just put in a background image and a table it automatically creates 2 pages instead of just layering the object. They have a function for layering object but the only tutorial out there is showing how to layer rectangle graphics. Here's my code.
if(layerContent[i] == PdfContentByte)
{
trace('Is PdfContentByte');
XTC_cb.add( layerContent[i] );
}
if works up untill that point but it doesn't recognize a table or an embedded image as a PdfContentByte and that's all it will let you add to the layering list.

I'm trying to make a simulation where a person can drag 2 different objects to any 4 predefined targets on the stage. Based on the position of the 2 objects there will be a different output text. I hope I described that clearly. I would also like the 2 objects to snap to the 4 targets. Im very new to AS. Im starting to be able to read it a bit but still can not wright it.

I have for a physics type site and I need to find a way of doing the following two things:
1. I know that I have come across drag n drop tutorials before but I can't find them.I basicly want to take a letter or any image and drop it onto a big circle and then have it stay there!
2. Secondly is there a way of having the visitor kind of like create their own image and then have them save it to the site so that it can be displayed in a gallery without using fancy stuff like php, cgi ?

I'm having some trouble with a movie clip button. Basically I have a button that when you click it it sends you to another frame on the root timeline. This all works fine, however I want the button to stay in it's transformed state whilst you are in the specific root timeline frame, therefore signifying where you are on the site. Here's the code I have used -

making a flash game that has a lot of rather complex illustrator graphics. In the game you walk down a street, so all the graphics has to be moved every frame. In some levels where there are a lot of objects in the street the game starts to lag. after importing it to flash and making a mc of it, break it apart to save flash from drawing all the shapes that aren visible anyway?

I'm trying to make a turret that points towards the cursor, but lags when the cursor is moved. I can get this to work, however I am running into problems when the cursor crosses from quadrant 4 to 3 (and vice versa). The problem is that the function I am using to control the turret's rotation rotates the turret around the opposite direction almost 360 degrees to get to the new position, instead of moving the few degrees it needs to.

On page click, I wanted the link to change colour so that you would know which page you were on.I have created a frame by frame animation of the words being scribbled out, but I don't know what to do with the animation!How do I insert it into my html? Do I need to use actionscript in flash?

I'm building an event calendar as part of a website .The calendar is divided into two sections, "calendar" on the right with the actual calendar displayed, and "calendarContent" on the left, where information about the evnts is supposed to show up. The different frames in "calendarContent" are all labeled. Within "calendar" I have different movieclips for each month, and inside each month I put the buttons that open the event descriptions in "calendarContent."
Now, for some reason it's not working. The function I'm trying is the following:
MovieClip(root).pages.calendarContent.gotoAndStop("artsundays");where "pages" is the name of the parent movieclip that "calendar" and "calendarContent" are both inside, and "artsundays" is the label for the frame in "calendarContent" I want to go to. The function is placed within one of the month movieclips. I get the following error:TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.I've also tried usng MovieClip(parent) instead of MovieClip(root).pages (since "pages" is the parent), as well as a few other variations, but the problem remained.

I'm trying to understand if it is possible to generate complex PDF files with Flex. By complex I mean add images, styled text (font-family, weight, columns) layout elements with large degree of control and so on. I was looking at AlivePDF library but cannot understand if it can handle more complicated PDF generation than plain text.

...for example, I'm trying to import a sun shaped PNG... I want the suns rays to act as the masking object... so I can see what's beneath it through the rays. Think of taking the paint brush, making a circle and then the rays are just again a paintbrush stroke.When I set up the mask however, though it's a transparent png, it ignores the actual shape & turns into a rectangle.

If I have a button inside a movieclip inside another movieclip and so on, how do I remove a child of the stage or a child of a child of the stage from somewhere several layers up from that? I am having trouble understanding stage and movieclip heirarchy I guess.If that's not clear, here's another example of what I don't get.
a_mc contains b_mc which contains c_mc which contains d_mc which contains e_mc. If I have a button inside e_mc called f_mc, how do I remove c_mc from that button?

When you open the website and load the contaner with all mc,there is two situations:
1) Load perfectly and my container 3D effect is not so CPU Intensive and works smooth
2) My container with all _MC is very slow and eatin the CPU. The 3D effect is totally screwed up. The container is scaling it self all the time on the x-as and y-as.
Open the a new browser and set it to max view (not fullscreen) then open the domein URL...I use Tweener addTween() for the 3D effect... off course if i turn it off its all fine.. But i like this 3D effect so much.

How I can get the complex button, when pressed to goto a certain frame of the main timeline and not the complex button timeline. Right now I have it set when press and release gotoandplay(2)... but it plays the button timeline and not the main timeline:
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
prevFrame();
}}
this.onRollOver = function(){
rewind = false;
play();
}this.onRollOut = function(){
rewind = true;
}this.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndPlay(2);

There are two stationary balls-ball A and ball B. There is another ball- ball C, which has to move from ballA to ballB.The problem is that when the I "run" the movie, ball C is automatically placed at the position of ballB. That is, I do not see ball C moving from the position of ball A to the position of ball B.I have used a line-drawing algorithm to move ball C. Also, the entire stuff is written in Actionscript. PS:this._x++ and this._y++ will not work because ballC has to travel the exact path between the two balls

I am trying to make an educational script and I must use conditionals to detect how my movieclips are gonna act. I have two buttons and if they are clicked their related variable equals to 1. if not pressed their variables are 0. I put a button to see their state (if 1 or 0) and trace the variables. I am sending Fla to check if I am making any mistakes.. even I click different buttons to change the variables, I always get the same trace...

I'm writing code for a website (for the first time) using Flash CS4 AS3 and am hoping someone out there can answer a simple question for me. I have multiple buttons on the stage that point to different areas of the timeline. All of the simple buttons work fine.he problem that I'm having is with the complex buttons (that have a movie clip in them) only work one time and then die. They still animate, but don't function after the first use...Why?! I've googled for days and am baffled to my wits end.I'm talking about and be able to point me in some direction. I've tried several different things from different sites, so the code is a little funny right now. The buttons that don't work are 'mybutton, pic1, and entrypic1.' Everything is labeled correctly in the properties manager and the code is below:
stop();
function setupEvents() {
pic1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);

i'm trying to create a menu system where each item expands in height when clicked but is then collapsed back to the original state when other items are clicked.m is the height of the expanded state. n is the height of the collapsed state. i is the number tacked on the instance name.Also, I'm using Tweener for smoother transitions. I've done this already by copying out the code but it's 24 items so 24x24 lines of code when I'd like to be able to do it a little more elegantly. Here's roughly what I want to do, but don't know if it's possible:[code]So every box below the one that's been clicked on most recently gets the value of m added to the y value and every box above doesn't.Is it possible to retrieve the value of the variable i that corresponds to the currentTarget?
