I'm trying to emulate the transition effect from the site venuliving.com (I'd post the link but I don't have enough posts).
When you click through the various sections, coloured bars expand and move across the site, they hold while subtly moving and then shrink out once the section has loaded.
how this sort of thing is achieved? I've been considering creating the whole thing using coloured rectangles and TweenMax but I'm wondering if this was created dynamically in AS3? Or if it's a customization of some existing transition?
I have been looking all over the internet for a tutorial to which will show me how to re-create this effect on images.[url]...
I dont want to install these 3rd party components, because the project I am working on at present, may in future need to be edited by other designers/developers.
Is there anyway to do this just via scripting?
Trying to create an object flying around using random movement. Instead of a straight line bounce-off-the-wall movement, I'm trying to get it to move in a curved path like a bee flying around.

I've created a flying bird movieclip. Now I just want to make a flock but I don't want to use action script. I can reuse the same movieclip but then they are all identical. They are all flapping their wings at the same time. Which isn't really realistic. And any changes I make to one of them, they all change. What I want to do is say, if I click and drag my bird animation into the stage three times I'll have three flying birds. But now I want to change them individually. For example, have each flapping their wings at different speeds etc. Is this possible?

View 6 RepliesI created a multidimensional array and I am having a hard time using .push to start another line. I have tried many thing however this is where I am at right now:
Actionscript Code:
arrayName = new Array(new Array());arrayName[0].push("cats");arrayName[0].push("dogs");arrayName[1].push("panthers");trace("arrayName[0][0] = "+arrayName[0][0]);trace("arrayName[0][1] = "+arrayName[0][1]);trace("arrayName[1][0] = "+arrayName[1][0]);
As you can see the last trace (arrayName[1][0]) comes back undefined. How do I add the [1][0] level of the array?
I need to create two combo boxes that are populated by an XML file. In the first combo box there are 13 choices and depending on what the user selects I need to populate the second combo box with the correct information. Now I can create the first combo box just fine but when I try to dynamically create the XML file name for the second combo box it doesn�t seem to work. What I am doing so far is taking the data from the first combo box and adding the quotes and .xml with this piece of code:
PHP Code:
pModCombo = '"'+event_obj.target.selectedItem.data+"Combo"+".xml"+'"';
pModComboXML = new XML();
pModComboXML.ignoreWhite = true;
pModComboXML.load(pModCombo);
If you trace that code it creates the file name just fine however the xml file will not load. If I replace that code with the normal xml code like this:
PHP Code:
pModComboXML = new XML();
pModComboXML.ignoreWhite = true;
pModComboXML.load("new.xml");
The second xml file seems to load just fine. However, if I create an if statement with all the different xml file names I will have to update the swf every time I add a new choice in the first combo box. So my question is does anyone know how to dynamically create the xml file name?
PHP Code:
pmComboXML = new XML();
pmComboXML.ignoreWhite = true;
pmComboXML.load("brands combo.xml");

View 7 RepliesI'm attempting a neat little effect where I've got a fellow walking (already drawn and animated) and I'm using him as a mask over the top of a simple colored rectangle - the idea being, by changing the color of the rectangle, I can have a walking man with color effects happening. At this stage the square is just green, because the mask is not quite working correctly. The edges of the animated mask glitch up and don't work as expected

I have made a movieclip and gave the frame this actionscript:
------------------------------------------------------------
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {[code]........
it moves fine and stuff but i was wondering how can i restrict the area in which the movieclip can actually move ? my flash file is 550px X 400px and i want to make it so that it can only move in 300px X 200px of the file if you understand ?
Im using this script on various movieclips in a game
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
xplace = Math.round(_x);
if (xplace<10) {
[code]....
I use this so when characters move around movieclip it detects where it is and put the appropriate clip on top (so a character can move infront and behind objects). Theres a problem. The script works GREAT and does what its supposed to do. The problem is that every movie clip i put it on carries over to the next frame when the timeline is furthered. It doesn't help that its a clean frame (or even several frames ahead) the movieclips are still duplicated to the new frame and so on.
i'm trying to achieve an effect in which a triangle movieclip (which expands and then dissolves) respawns itself continuously. I'm hoping to figure out how to tell flash to respawn a new instance of the 15-frame movieclip of the triangle, when the original clip hits frame 5. the next one would do the same, and so on and so forth.My research so far has led me to believe this has something to do with the 'addChild' function but i'm so far unsure of what to do with it
