ActionScript 2.0 :: External Background Changing According To Menu System
Aug 8, 2010
I wanted to put there a background that will change (fade out and than fade in another one) according to menu position. It would load external *.swf's. For example I'm in "A" and the background is "bg01.swf", after clicking "B" the "bg01.swf" background would unload/stop (fade out) and than the "bg02.swf" would fade in and start to animate. I can't put the right script in the menu system. The source files are attached to this post (Flash CS3 source file and the backgrounds):
i was wondering how this menu was done, i have been looking for tutorials and several threads, but havent found anything, where should i start reading about this ?
coding this menu system and cant find any tutorialsor templates on multi level (4) drop downs. I dont know weatherto make everything a movie clip and load the mc's or to place buttons inside a movie clip. Everthing will be onrollover.
I need to create a rather detailed menu system that will load thumbnails of movie clips that I can then double-click on and it will load them into the display list of another movie clip.
I think I can code the loading part but I've never dealt with creating flash menus before and don't have any help in the 5 as3 books I own.
Is there a way I can make the menu generate the thumbs from an external file that I can just update when I need to instead of editing the flash file?
I'm wondering if anyone would be able to point me in the direction of a tutorial using action script 2 on making an expanding menu system. [URL] This one is a tutorial but I could do with one from the start step by step!
I had to make a new website and just about got it done in AS2. The problem is that some of the buttons within the menu had sooooo much AS that i was getting very lost. Heres the site i made [URL] I now have to create a new site but i dont want a repeat of last time. The issue i have is that for each of the buttons i would tell it on(release) to go and chech what frame each one of the other buttons was on and if any were not in their "Off" mode it would tell it to play from a lable within the button movieclip as well as tell the text relating to it to fade away. NOW Ive tried doing this as a function in the new project but its not working no matter what i do.
I'm new to actionscript 3 and could really use some help to develop an xml driven menu system. I would like to make the menu system similar to the navigation used in this site. [URL] I just need a simple version of this maybe 2 - 3 categories on the left and all of the children for them on the right.
I have a menu system at the top of the screen with 4 tabs - they look like the tabs on a filing system. When a tab is clicked it should enlarge slightly to show that it has come to the front and push the other tabs away from it so the layout is kept intact and nothing is overlapped.
The left-hand edge of the farthest-left tab should always be in the same place - that tab can only expand to the right. I have a rough idea about how to go about this but it's all on the very frontiers of my knowledge and i know it's got some maths in there.
I can supply images but there's not really any code as yet because i don't really know where to begin.
Ive just followed the tutorial about creating a full flash site using root. I got that working fine. My problem occurs when i want to use tellTarget in my menu system as well. The movie looks for the actions contained in the mouse overs of the menu in the main movie. This is the error message i get:
Code: //############# Breaking Edge Band Website ############## // Created by Sam Wood. Note that everything written after // after a "//" indicates that I am commenting on // the codes underneath it.
[code]....
As you can probably guess i am making a rotated menu system. It all works fine except the code above.Basically what happens is that when I click the "MUSIC" button, then the "HISTORY" button, then to the "MUSIC" button and finally the "HISTORY" button, it seems to do the opposite clockwise direction to what it did the first time i click on it.....
I'm trying to create a menu system and I've created a "Button" with a dynamic text field on it. I'd like to set the text of the button when I add it to the stage but I'm having some troubles. Does this work differently then a dynamic text field on a movie clip? I've done it successfully on a movie clip.
var test; test = new menu_item(); stage.addChild(test); test.x = 610; test.y = 100; test.menuText.text = "Hello World";
I get this error message in my output window... TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at Main$iinit()
I'm in the process of learning OOP and have run into a small problem. I'm trying to create a basic menu system where you can rollover and rollout of all links. When you select a link, it stays highlighted until you click another link.I've given the 5 links instance names like (link0, link1, link2, link3, link4) and given them each an ID of (0,1,2,3,4) - respectively. I used to be able to do something like this:
I've been trying to find a solution to this for a while, but I haven't had any luck.I'm making a menu system that uses sliding movie clips instead of separate pagesbut when you click on the 'study at UWS' button, the nested slider kind of goes nuts, until you press on of the side buttons.
I need help coding this menu system and cant find any tutorials or templates on multi level (4) drop downs. I dont know weather to make everything a movie clip and load the mc's or to place buttons inside a movie clip. Everthing will be onrollover.
Coming from java I could manipulate the background pixel by pixel as well as read color values of a certain pixel at coordinates (x,y).Now in flash I seem to be able to load a bitmap image. But I need to change the background color and also be able to read the color value of pixels.
My flash movie size is 800x600, sometimes bigger.I am trying to do simulations (biology) of a moving object leaving a trail (changed background color?) Then other moving objects can detect that trail (read background color) and increase or decrease the color value.
I am trying to learn AS. I have C and C# experience. I have been left with a previous fla/swf/as project. This has 3 images that in a banner website banner rotate. Problem is they have a black background. I would need white or transparent. The page is hereNot allowed to show you the link ?
I am trying to change the background color in a flash 8 .exe file that seems to extract setup variables via an xml file. The xml file reads as follows:
I am developing an AIR application and I want to change my project theme to one of the additional included themes that is packaged with Flash Builder 4. So, I went to the Project Theme and changed it and it looks like it is supposed to in the Design View. When I run the application, the components (eg: a button) themselves look like it is supposed to, but the application's background is just white instead of the displayed color in the design view.
and I want place the following javascript in my HTML file:
ActionScript Code: <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function changeBgColor(newBgColor) { if (window.document && window.document.bgColor) {
[Code].....
but I don't know where in my HTML file to place it as there is alot of Java I don't understand. I have tried to place it in myself but it won't work. The HTML file I wanna place the Java into, is attached.
I'm actually not an AS nor flex coder, but i'm using Flowplayer and some plugin written in Flex/AS3.i figured its more relevent to AS forum then Flex since the actuall code is in AS3.the plugin called: audiovisual - its a sound visualisation written in AS3:
[URL]
now, the goal is to make the background of it WHITE.i actually did changed the actual effects colors like i wanted but the BG color i can't find it.
I'm creating a website and I want the background to change when the user presses a different button. I've been trying to create this effect but haven't been able to yet. I used the post here and built from there, [URL]. I had it working with two images and two buttons but adding the third kind of messed everything up. I've attached the fla.
I have a problem with the resizing of the background. This is the code i use bg_mc._x = 0; bg_mc._y = 0; bg_mc._width = Stage.width; bg_mc._height = Stage.height; How I can make this background to resize in full screen?
I just want to change the background color of my movie.Is there a way to do this with Actionscript, or should I just create a 'fill' the size of the stage, and do it that way?
