View 1 RepliesI am currently making an interactive Map, as i rollover to a certain continent, the continent will light up in a yellow highlight, afterward as i click on the continent the box menu will pop up on top of the continent, everything went fine until i browse around inside the box menu( the box menu is bigger than the continent,..wider) cause at one point the cursor will go to a certain area inside the box menu that is not on top of a part of the continent, That's when the yellow highlight went down. I was just wondering how do i make sure the yellow highlight on the continent stays on while i freely browse around the box menu( which is wider than the continent)
View 1 RepliesI'm making a classic horizontal sliding menu flash site, but just can't seem to iron out the last little tweak. How do I get the mouse to not react when over the open section, I've tried 'delete mc3.onRelease;' which works, but then that section will not longer work at all after it's been closed.
I've attached the fla and a link to the beta site as I'm finding it hard to explain exactly what I mean:[URL]..
I made a Flash menu with this tutorial:[URL]The animation is different but the scripting is basically the same. I have animated buttons (They're actually movie clips though) that play one animation on rollover, and a different animation on rollout.
What I want to do, is have the button stay on the over state if it's clicked, (so people know what page they're on) until another button is clicked in which case it would do the rollout animation, and then the new button would stay clicked.

But the scripting is different I'm not sure how to make it work with what I already have, and I don't really want to start over completely.
Making a photo slideshow to load as an external movie clip on my site when a button is pushed. Here is a link to the .swf file: [URL]. There is text that describes each set of 6 pictures. After the set of 6 pictures plays through the text is supposed to disappear and a new text appears to label the next set of 6 pictures. Problem is: the text doesn't disappear! I made all the text layers a symbol/movie clip. I animated each text to disappear at a certain point in the timeline but when I test the movie the texts just remain there and build up one after the other. When watching the movieclip, pay attention to the text in the lower left screen.
View 2 RepliesI'm using Adobe CS4 Professional flash to create the basis of the website, a photo background with an interactive menu overlay on top. Does anyone know any good tutorials for an interactive menu (roll you mouse over certain things and the sub-menu comes up which lead to other pages of the site etc.)
View 1 RepliesConsider this for a second:
Code:
theState.stateGrowth = 0;
globalVariablesArray.push(theState.stateGrowth);
trace(globalVariablesArray[0]); // traces 0
theState.stateGrowth--;
trace(globalVariablesArray[0]); // still traces 0
Is there anyway to make it so that globalVariablesArray[0] always contains the 'new' value of theState.stateGrowth, even if it changes? In other words, store the property itself in the array, not just the value of it?
When I load a .swf into a target movie that I have on my main page, it is all wrong, the slider menu that I have loading into the target movie, does not stay inside target and it seems to reposition the slider menu to the x psotion of my main movie How can I fix this, so the slider menu in the swf stays inside the target movie when loaded?
FLA file is too large to attach, if needed I can attach it in pieces.

The folder is not there. I thought that would probably be the problem. Manual installer uninstalling and all kinds of installing have been tried.
I've decided to finally make my own full flash site. I've got more than enough Flash and ActionScript (and XML) knowledge to pull it off nicely, but I was wondering if people who have already done this have any advice for me in terms of organizing the whole thing, so it's easy to upgrade and follow through during the time you build it. I was thinking a standard layout, maybe an intro and a first preloader, then a menu that choses sub-sections and each has an intro and outro transition? Oh, and for seperate sub-sections, do you put the preloaders in the main movie or do you include the preloaders seperately in each of the subsection swfs?

If you have a look at the link underneath, its a menu i got made at flash vortex but i want to implement it on my site and make each word a link to a seperate page, is there a way to do this?
View 1 RepliesThe whole problem is in the title. I have a gallery which looks a lot like coverflow. Each button in it loads a new gallery which is a swf with a new XML. The Problem is it only works on the first time i click on a button. The XML does not renew when i click on another button. It does load the new XML.

I've started with a new Flash file and wanted to toy around with loading images and resizing the UILoader to the size of the loaded image. I've added a UILoader (instance name: loadImage) component to the main timeline and added the following code in the Actions window:
loadImage.source = "bookmark.png";trace( loadImage.content );
The image displays properly after compiling and viewing the SWF. However, loadImage.content returns null, instead of the DisplayObject that contains the image. This way, trying to resize the UIloader according to the loaded image doesn't work, since I can't access variables of an object that hasn't been initialized.
All the documentation states that loadImage.content should contain the DisplayObject that's loaded after setting loadImage.source or using loadImage.load( new URLRequest( "bookmark.png" ) ) (which also has the same problem).
how do you link(code) your swf pages to each other (through buttons) when making a flash site or portfolio?

I am All Programmer when it comes to anything including flash. I got into making games not to long ago and some people use frames to navigate from the main menu to the game screen and so on (which I have no idea how to do). and some people encapsulate the game inside of a class and call it from the document class and add and remove it when please
View 4 RepliesI have a bunch of menu windows that I've placed on separate frames (for example main menu is on frame 1, options menu on frame 2, chapters menu on frame 3, characters menu on frame 4, etc). On each menu there are a bunch of text links (movieclip instances), when clicked goes to another menu page. Some of these same links (same instance) are duplicated on multiple pages since they perform the same function. For example clicking the "backToMain" instance will go back to frame 1, which is main menu, regardless of which page it was clicked on.
Does anyone have an idea how I might build this? So far I've tried to add listeners to every single link, however since lots of links are on different frames other than frame 1, I can't add listeners to them until I tell actionscript to flip to that frame, which I don't want to do. I want to globally add listeners to all links all at once in the beginning:

Client has a flash navigation menu on his website. When the site is accessed via [URL] the hardcoded links in the flash nav load pages properly. When accessing the website via the [url] the site navigation links can not load the proper pages and instead just redirect the user to the root domain.
I assume this can be fixed with a change to the .htaccess but I do not know how flash handles these links.
.htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

View 1 RepliesI've got a nearly completed Flash site, but one of the buttons isn't working--sometimes.
It's hard to explain, so here's how you can see the problem. Run the .fla below, wait for the animation to stop, and click the "services" star. Two more stars appear: "design and production" and "editorial." If you click on "design and production" first, everything works fine. You can get to editorial and everywhere else. BUT if you click on "editorial" first (after clicking "services" but before clicking "design and production"), the "design and production" button doesn't work from there (the "editorial" label frames in the "inline_frame" movie clip).
I've got several Actions keyframes in the "inline_frame" movie clip--I don't know if that's kosher or not.

View 2 RepliesI am making a website for a client in which I need to incorporate some way of allowing easy client editting.Having looked online I havent found anything that will fit the requirements exactly but have seen the functionality on other sites in the past. Ideally I would use a secure web page with a form where the client could select the item to edit using a drop down and then proceed to fill in a few boxes, saving the new content that would be then viewable in the flash file.
I origianlly thought of an html form that stores the saved info in an XML file that could then be drawn out in the flash site.Is that the best way?
