ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating Interactivity Between Pic Slideshow And Graphic SWF
Apr 3, 2006
Here's the excellent Todd Dominey crossfading slide show. All I want is just that after the slideshow has ended (by choosing "sequential" on the xml file) with 10 pictures of flowers for examples, I want it to load by itself another .swf (movie2.swf for example)
Code:
/* Crossfading slide show */
// set random # variables - each must be 0 for first 'while' loop below
var randomNum = 0;
var randomNumLast = 0;
// parent container
[Code] .....
Among all this code, where do i write "loadmovieNum ("movie2.swf", 0)" to get out from this string? I want to create an interactivity between pictures slideshow + graphic swf's I created with graphics, drawing etc...
I'm new to using flash and actionscript, but i'm looking to learn how to make a video or a series of videos play using flash. Where the user has to click on a specific part of the screen to play the next video. I'm using Flash cs3 to do this and again i'm new to this so i don't know how to navigate very well. If anyone could provide me with a tutorial or walkthrough on this that'd be amazing.
I have a project where I need to scale a graphic to the exact size as the window at all times. Is thereI have never done anything like this one before.
I am creating an image gallery with thumbnails on the right inside a symbol so that they can all fade in at the same time, and the bigger images on the left that also fade in. I can only fit 8 thumbnail images at a time, and want to have more than that. So I'll add an arrow below the thumbs so that when you click on it, you can see the other thumbs. I have the first 8 thumbs on the first frame of a symbol and the rest on the second frame.
My problem is that the symbol that contains the thumbs is a graphic symbol, so that the thumbs in it, that are button symbols can be clicked on. I tried using button and movie clip symbols for the thumbnails container but then the buttons (thumbs) can't be clicked any more. That was not a problem till I had to add more than 8 thumbs, cause i need to give the container an instance name, and graphic symbols can't have one.
Here is the link to download the .fla [URL] In case I didn't make my self clear, what I need is to know if there's a way to have a movie clip or button symbol that can have buttons in it that can be clicked on.
I am trying to create a flash program that will create a slideshow on the fly. I have a collection of music and images that I want to put in the show. The program will pick a piece to play randomly and the next image to show is also picked randomly. However, the speed at which the images will be shown in the show is decided by the tempo/speed/mood of the music at that moment. In one piece of music there will faster and slower movement, and the slide will fade in sooner if the music is faster and vice versa. The show will keep running until the program quits.
I am trying to create a full-frame photo slideshow/photo transition like the one on this site-It shows a random background photo each time a link is clicked and has a nice diagonal "wipe" effect for a transition. Then photos of their work are shown when exploring that section. How would I generate the random photos and transition effect upon clicking a link?
I understand that there are many methods to creating a slideshow on a website, but that isn't my question. What I really want to know is what is the most mainstream method of creating a slideshow on a website.What do you recommend?So far I've seen Jquery, Javascript, CSS & DHTML, and Flash. The first thing that comes to mind for me is flash, then second Javascript.
i want to create a slideshow of animation clips.It will either jpg sequence of animation or swf files. Actually the problem is, flash library is not capable to handle such a huge load of image sequence .so its crashing,and .swf files are losing the visual quality.
i am trying to develop one a story using flash.i have 7-8 animated swf file story. now i want to create a slideshow such that when i will click on 1st swf , next swf will play. i was tried in following way.
1.take 1st index page of story as a fla file.
2. then when i 'll run it i will click on it(using button), then one swf file is loaded.i dnt know how can i click on swf file so that next swf will play?
this relates to the tutorial posted by kirupa on creating an image slideshow using xml with actionscript: [URL] this slideshow is great, but i'm wondering whether it is possible to start it in the middle of the sequence. so, for instance could one button load a swf file with code that would start the slideshow at, say, frame 5 out of 10? i understand how the actionscript for this works, but am running into deadends on how to get the xml more specific. oh, and i'm using flash 8 for this.
i want to create a slideshow of animation clips.It will either jpg sequence of animation or swf files. Actually the problem is, flash library is not capable to handle such a huge load of image sequence .so its crashing,and .swf files are losing the visual quality.So is there any other method to do the same thing in flash?
I'd like the slideshow to have a black boarder box with a white background. I've got two buttons which I have made in Photoshop for previous and next image. I want the background of the slideshow to be white and images to be placed into this box for the user to be able to manually go through the images.
What I try to make in Flash is some kind of interactive slideshow, with .swf files instead of static images. I want to have kind of control pannel with buttons numbered from 1 to n, always visible at the front layer. In the background, there will be swf files that change, for example, every 30 seconds. And each change consists of fade in and fade out effect of the swf container (and so the loaded swf file itself). During the swf changes, the buttons should change too by switching their states from 0 to 1 and so on. User should be able to skip to any frame he wants by clicking the corresponding button.This is the code I already have:
This is my first flash project and I am attempting to create a slide show that automatically changes frame after a certain time, but also have buttons for each frame. [URL] is the page where i have the flash slideshow on. I used a tutorial to make the nav bar, and used what I learned there, as well as some googling to attempt the slideshow. So far I think its turned out pretty good, but I have a problem. THe buttons work fine, but the auto change gets stuck on the second slide, even if I click to a differnet button to goes back to frame 2. Which makes me think that the function doesn't even go past the if(frame==1). here is the code
Code: import fl.transitions.Tween; import fl.transitions.easing.*; import flash.events.MouseEvent; var img1FadeIn:Tween = new Tween(img1, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 5, true); stop(); var slideTimer = setInterval(nextslide, 8000); [Code] .....
I am trying to create a simple 6 frame flashplayer type object, and I want a movie clip in each frame. So frame 1 has movieclip1 and frame to has movieclip2 and so on. I have a forward and a back button so if you are watching movieclip1 you can hit forward and watch movieclip2.This is the code that I have on my actions layer...
I'm trying to create a simple fading RSS reader. I'm using PHP to create an XML document. Then I'm calling the XML into Flash using the following code.
ActionScript Code: function postXML (loaded){ if (loaded){ postNode = this.firstChild; newsID = []; newsHeadline = []; [Code] .....
I display this information in a movieclip that has several dynamic textfields. My problem is this. PHP calls the information in descending order. I want the most recent post to display first, that's why I do it that way. How can I reverse cycle through the nodes. There will be five. I'd like to use the id attribute as the reference to cycle through the nodes. I'd also like there to be a 15 second delay for each slide. I guess I'm basically creating a text slideshow. 15 seconds with an option to pause.
just finished a postgrad in web design and multimedia and want to start working on a few sites for a portfoilio, think it would help with jobs etc
I have a site at the mo with a banner in flash but i know that there are sites out there that use flash more in depth. ive seen pretty much whole sites done with flash before but have no idea how to do it! I could get something interatctive with buttons etc in flash cs3 but would have no idea how to display it all in a webpage, create a link from flash to the html or whatever so when a button was clicked it'd take the user to a different page...etc
I have an ad banner that the client says the clickTag layer must be the top most layer. The problem is I have movies below that layer that animate on rollOver:
Code: on (rollOver) { this.gotoAndPlay("bounce"); } These do not work unless they are above the clickTag layer. Is their a way I can adjust the rollOver code to acomodate for this? Both the clickTag and the movies are on the main time line but the rollOver animation is in its own movie.
I am looking to do a drag and drop where the user has to drag over 1 of 3 clothes onto a sales person to let us know which one is the correct dress code for our store. What would be the best way to do this?
My interactive .SWF that is called loses all interactivity when loaded, however, the .SWF works perfectly on its own. The .SWF that is called basically has 4 buttons that moves a set of 4 images 50 pix to left so it can be viewed when button is pressed.
I'm having trouble retaining interactivity in a DisplayObject (MovieClip) that has been altered to become a 3D object in Flash 10. The current structure is as follows: MovieClip1 with Mouse EventListeners nested inside MovieClip2 inside MovieClip3. MovieClip3 is rotated in 3D space via rotationX and rotationY as well as in Z space. After this happens interactivity in MovieClip1 does not function.

I'm using flash to build banners among other things. Today I experienced a problem with a banner with mouseposition interactivity. The expected interactivity was blocked by a transparent gif that lay on top of the banner and apparently was there to track and handle clicks. It's a ad component for Joomla called Ijoomla Ad Agency. There is no way to make the ad component work in another way.
I am leading a team of developers on a project where we create distance learning classes to be attendedby students on the Internet.We created classes in Flash, ActionScript 3 in but I'm facing a big problem.I had an idea to create a kind of "software" using the flash in which my team could be better organized and where I could put (in the animation swf) what they should do that day(todo list).Until then it was all right, I created this software by loading text from the internet and created some php code inorder to edit them easily, even then no problem.[code]...
As an AS3 beginner, I'm trying to translate an old AS2 trick into AS3. I want to disable then re-enable any kind of interactivity with all the display objects on the stage, at once. For example while waiting for external assets to load or after a user clicks on a menu item.
This what I used to do with AS2 : protect_mc.onRelease = function():Void {}; protect_mc.enabled = false; protect_mc._alpha = 0; protect_mc._visible = false; Then switching protect_mc._visible to true or false. (protect_mc being an empty movie clip with the stage's height and width, at the highest depth)
My first idea is registering a listener with the Stage for the capture phase of MouseEvent.CLICK that stops all input events propagation (mouse, focus, text...), when a "lock" static variable is set to true or does nothing otherwise. Second idea is using a Custom Event...
It would seem that if you choose to create a custom cursor that you cannot interact with anything else on the stage with a mouse. I have written the code:
[Code]...
When I roll over and click, nothing happens. Every now and again it works, but very rarely. It's not because it's a ENTER_FRAME event either, because I changed it to a non ENTER_FRAME function and changes from hitTestObject to a ROLL_OVER and it still didn't work. But I have seen hundreds of Flash games over the years that have custom cursors AND interactivity.
