ActionScript 2.0 :: Interactive MovieClip Scroller With Easing
Jan 18, 2009
Recently I've been developing a new site that runs 100% with noScale. What I'm aiming to achieve is the ability for the user to move their mouse up and down on the Y Axis to effectively scroll the site. (Without having to click). I've tried adapting the Interactive Image Panner Actionscript from the Tutorial on kirupa - but it doesn't seem to be working quite right I've changed all the X Values to Y.
Work wants me to create to a scroller like the one I've attached but with an elastic efftect to it.I've looked at some others examples and some tutorials but was somewhat lost so I just sat down and tried coming up with a ghetto way. I the very basics done but im wondering if there's a much better way of doing this especially if I wish to do some easing.
I found a simple and effective text scroller in your tutorial archive by Billy T -[URL] The internal as was just what I was after except I would like the dragger bar to be on the left instead of the right. I've changed x's to y's and added co ords for left positioning but I've had no response. I feel there could be a very simple answer to this one.
I'm in the process of putting to together an image scroller, and have it working fine (to an extent). It scrolls left and right as it should, and stops scrolling when it get to its furthest left and furthest right points. This has been done like this...
Interactive Image Panning [URL]...Tutorial and the
Easing on Mouseclick [URL]... Now i tried to combine these 2 together and nothing happens , either 1 works or the other one works but never the 2 together.... [URL]...
I want to make an interactive image scroller. I am making a webshop and I want a flash to scroll through some of the latest products (3 or 4) that I put in myself and animate or whatever, maybe there's a better and easier way. I want this movie to have these products scrolling from right to left by auto with maybe an ease effect, but when you move your mouse pointer over the whole movie I want it to stop, and when it stops I want two arrows appear on the left and right side of the movie which will be clickable and you will be able to scroll through the products with them as well.
It doesn't need to have an external XML connection where you insert scrolling speed and so on. Of course it would be simplier, but without is fine too. I will try to explain in what terms I know of: -Mouseout/rollout = 3 or 4 products scrolling one by one from the right and ease in to the middle, pause 4 seconds, then scroll out to the left with an ease. Looped. -Mouseover/rollover = Movie stops and then you can use arrows on both each side and scroll by yourself. But I don't know if I want this only to be available when the product is in the center of the movie, or else it would be kind of weird if the movie stopped when one product was just about to go half-way out or in.
im trying to create this custom menu a bit more efficiently. As written, it operates fine glitch free. However, id like to incorporate some easing into the movement of each movie clip.
I've built a code to cyclically move a scene on the bottom of my stage; I've done this to make a slowing-and-stop-easing effect at anytime the command will arrive. The entire scene mc is _x long something like 6000 px. The whole code goes in this way:
1) importing on the stage (with attachMovie) a mc with this code inside:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) { _parent._parent.fondo_mc._x -= countermovement; if (_parent._parent.fondo_mc._x <= -5800) {[code].....
The code goes right, but I need to improve it.Now there is just a variable, I tought to use two vars to implement the whole code in a setInterval, but maybe it's unuseful, and actually I can't use it in the right way.
Second issue: actually when slowAndStop function is called the scene slow too fast, if I take it to 15 it slow better but the scene is running too fast...
The best would be that the scene slow down and stop following: A) a temporal variable (and I can try to implement it with setInterval, that for istance is a cycle)
B) an indipendent moving variable, so that on one side I set the speed, on the other side I set the slow-and-stop in a matter of time with countermovement.I also tried to use a second variable:
var counter:Number = 15; // set the _x increment var countermovement:Number = counter/2;
i have ths scrollable movieclip that i want to add easing to by do not no how... Can someone share there knowledge into showing me how to do this? Im sure i need tweennano lite or something like that right?
I'm attempting to make an AS3 class that allows me to drag an object with easing. I've looked around the net and put this together.I have created this class as startDrag() doesn't allow easing. I've almost got it working but there is a problem where the registation point of the movielclip snaps to the mouse position (this is the equivalent of having "lockcenter:boolean" in startDrag() set to "true")this is the problem bit in my script:
Has anyone got some nice clean code that; scrolls a movieClip left and right when the mouse is over the left or right part of the stage. When the movieClip comes close to the end, it should slow down rather than abruptly stop.Basically, I have a really wide movieclip full of pictures. I want the user to be able scroll through it by just moving the mouse left to right.
I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction on how to drag a moiveclip with elastic easing similar to the cloverfield siteAfter seaching the web for hours I was able to find this postIn is is this script:
i dont understand why the easing effect doesnt work on my movieclip_mc ? I see so much fantastic effects we can do but tutorials are not really clear about easing : too much theory and not so much practical demos I m sure something like a basis position and an end position are missing?.
I have a menu bar as a movie clip and another movie clip acting as a slider. I want to on pressing a button on the Menu bar movie clip get the slider to slide across with easing. however I don't want the easing to be infinite so can't use a this._x*=.9 or some decimal < 1. Loop function only acts on the single frame so it too quick to see.
I've got a clip which gets multiple clips attached dynamically.I'd like to make it scroll up or down based on user mousing over it and mouse position. I want it to ease and to increase in speed if the user mouses further up or down.[code]
I'm trying to accomplish something in actionscript that involves dragging a movie clip. You see, I want to drag a movie clip out of a scroller (see this tutorial - I am using it currently to attempt to make this work) and onto another area of the stage, where users will then be able to drag it around and resize it. I am hoping that the user will be able to create something from these pictures.
I am trying to build a vertical slide scroller based on a tutorial for a horizontal slide scroller and am having difficulties undertanding what values I need to change in the code for the slider mc in order to make it work. The horizontal slider is quite smart [code]
I have read the tutorial: [URL], and I based my flash file off the code given there. I would like to, instead of letting the thumbnail_mc's scroll when you rollover them, have buttons on either side that scroll (slow when mouseover and fast when pressed) the mc's instead. Here is what I have, which doesn't seem to work:
I have a scrollbar which is using a mask to work, then i have image thumbnails as a movieclip to scroll. The thumbnails are buttons that loads swfs into an empty movieclip on the stage using the loadClip.
My problem is that i cant get the loaded swfs outside the mask and the scroller, they load inside the mask and starts to scroll - as my movieclip with the thumbs are inside the mask.
how to load the swfs outside the mask/scroller? Or how i can solve this in any other way?
The last couple of days I've been juggling with a news reader in flash (from the example tutorial here on Kirupa), and this works perfectly. My eye however fell on the scroller that is applied in this newsreader. For my websites I've used several sripts for scrolling, but this one suits me the best, and I would like to use it on more occasions. However the "problem" is that in the newsreader the scroller is used for scrolling a dynamic text field.Ideally I would like to apply it for scrolling Movieclips (like I used to do with the scroller I used in the past). Although I understand actionscrpit to a moderate level, this is a little to much for me. the script used for the scroller is this:
Code: // global functions Clamp = function(min, n, max){
I have an Event.ENTER_FRAME that fires, to move a scrolling image bar given where stage.mouseY is located. But, when the mouse leaves the movie clip I need to force the scroller to stop. The MOUSE_LEAVE event fires when the mouse leaves the movie, but I have no way of stopping the scrolling behavior because I can't set the mouseY coordinates by hand. Is there a way to change the mouse coordinates programmatically? Can you manually trigger and event to stop firing?
I am building a dynamic movie clip scoller in flash the swf at the moment returns all the images from the db using an asp page and does display them side by side! I am using a method of loading that I am not 100% sure about as I need to make the whole thing scroll left to right style....and right to left....
The code for this loading is .. myLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); function loadPics() { myY = 0; myX = 0; for (i=0; i<=_root.image_array_length-1; i++) { _root.attachMovie("image", "image"+i, i); this["image"+i]._x = myX; etc...
Now when I am making this scroll I am confused as to what to target to make scroll - the 'image' movieclip is in the library and uses linkage identifer of 'image' for the script... and also seems to sit on the highest layer/depth each time....
my problem is that if you go over the menu text above my scroller it controls the scroller. I wan this areas movement to have no effect on the scroller below. is there a way to script my scroller to set it to this?
I'm familiar with how to ease something in using motion math. Easing out would not be that bad either. But how would I script something easing in half way, then easing out the second half? It would start slow, gradually move faster, then slow to a stop at the end. - almost like a sine wave I guess?
