ActionScript 2.0 :: Interesting Site Layout - Flip The Page To Get To The Next Section?
Sep 24, 2003
I was recently given the task of creating the webpage for my school's physics department. I want to recreate a textbook where you would actually have to flip the page to get to the next section. While searching the net, I found exactly what I was looking for.

How on earth can I recreate that effect? I know it has somethning to do with rotations and dragging a mask with the mouse but how?
I was wondering how can I make my links in Flash readable for browsers? In other words, to be able to provide link to specific section of my website. For illustration, take a look at Jenson Button's website:The link above points to the "News" section, although the site is in flash.
[URL].. If you navigate to the health+science section on each site, you'll notice in the dev, the XML displays properly. If you check it out in the first one (not dev) you'll notice a break or two between each line.
The swfs and XML are identical. Anyone know of a reason why it would change like that?
On my site I have 5 buttons for navagation along the top, when you go to the Photos section there is a button that appears on stage and, when clicked, loads an external swf onto the stage, no problems so far.If I or the user clicks this button to load this external swf onto the stage and then clicks one of the other navagation buttons to go to a different section of the site, that external swf doesn't disappear.
I'm using the addChild function to a movieclip to load up another section on the site. However,everything behind that loaded SWF is still running,meaning sections are constantly stacking and it slows down the more sections you access.I've been trying to think of ways to resolve this and have yet to come up with a decent solution. I've thought of removing the previous swf,but that would would take the swf with it that was loaded as a child.Here's the important bit of my code you should see:
ActionScript Code:var section2Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Tracks.swf");var section2Loader:Loader = new Loader ();tracks_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, tracksPage);function tracksPage(event:MouseEvent):void{[code]......
I have a feeling I will be a frequent visitor.creating a site for a client. The entire site will be in AS3, we're doing one long page with navigation that will always sit in a box to the left. When you click on a button in the nav, we want the site to scroll down to a certain section.
I have my entire site layout in Flash CS4 and using AS3. I was able to successfully segment the site with labels, add UI Loaders to desired sections to make the site smaller and work faster, I was able to put a close button above the UI Loader, which closes it and brings a user back to a designated section of the site.
And then I encountered a problem. I have a few images in each UI Loader which I would like to function as buttons and also bring the user to the desired section on the main site, however it seems to be a problem that the buttons are located inside the UI Loader I can not figure out how to jump out of the loader to the main site.
Is there a specific code for it or the whole layout has to be somehow restructured?
now we all used to disable the menu until new section of our site gets animation but how do you handle user repeatedly abusing for example back button on the browser when moving though your website?
I am making something flash flip like: [URL] but i want to do it in my banner 1000 width and 299 height problem is that i have few banner images i think 5 to 8 and i want to start my flip from "bottom-left" corner till "top-right"
I have made a liquid layout flash site in AS3 but it doesn't rescale correctly in any browsers above 1440x900. I know most people don't have screens bigger than this but it should be scaling to the entire window regardless of the screen size. Can anyone take a look at my code which has resize handlers but still no joy. [code]...
Flash CS4/Actionscript 3 I am trying to create a section for a site where mousing over a button will play a certain frame of a movie clip, which is sitting next to the button. Mousing over different buttons will play (and stop) different frames in the movie clip.
I'm trying to create a site where all of its sections are laid out side by side and the user can zoom into each section to check it out, just like this site: [URL]I have the actionscript that allows the user move the viewing area around, but im not sure how to incorporate the zooming into it. What I need might be something different entirely. Here's that:

I have built a liquid layout Flash site using AS3 but it isn't scaling correctly once I go above 1280x1024. I am currently using a Mac screen with dimensions of 2560x1440 and it looks terrible. The menu pushes to the top and the bg and page info stays central but with no scale.[URL]..
The HTML is 100% w+h so it's obviously something within the AS3 code. This is causing me nightmares so if someone could take a look at the code pasted and see if there is a way to resolve
It there any way of displaying videos on a website that would allow me to show just a clip of a video without physically slicing the file into actual clips? Specifically, I'd like to play the clips using an open source flash player. I could make specific clips, but that is time consuming and a maintenance nightmare.youtube won't work because it is very important we be able to control who views these videos. Also, this web application is running off of a classic LAMP stack.
I got the page flip .fla from here: iparigrafika ...How do you resize the pages without everything getting screwed up?I want to have it as an external .swf that I can load into a emptymovieclip but I don't know how to get everything in a certain size?
In my flash file, I embedded a .swf (page flip) that loads when "Clothes" button is clicked in the flash file. When I navigate away from this page, it unloads. However, when i click on "Clothes" again with the .swf, the page flip won't load.Reference: http:[url]....
Ive been messing around with the free page flip and so far so goodve added in an XML thumbnail gallery and all works fineapart from I cant get it to go to the corresponding page when clicked. I can get it to navigate to an external URL no problem but not to go to the page.Here is the AS2 script for the thumbnails...
descriptions=true;alert._visible=false;var ease = 5;thumbs = new XML();thumbs.ignoreWhite=true;thumbs.load("thumbs.xml");thumbs.onLoad=function() { root=this.firstChild; total=root.childNodes.length;
I am working on some dress pattern design tutorials. I would like to show patterns and fabric pieces flip over with a page turn type animation. I am looking for a simple method as it involves doing it to a lot of diagrams. I have been looking at After Effects as I know I can 'page turn' objects. This pretty well produces the effect I am looking for but I feel it should be easier in Flash (Shape tweening morphs the diagram and motion tweening doesn't help) or perhaps video in Photoshop. I don't mind what I use.
My patterns are drawn in Illustrator so importing them would be really convenient. Ideally I would like to fill the shapes with a textile pattern and have the reverse showing with a different texture but this is not essential - just getting the diagrams to turn over smoothly would be really nice.
I have even thought of screen recording the process of dragging the corner of the diagram and flipping it over in some way.
I am happy to experiment but if anyone can point me to the best way forward I would be very grateful. There is nothing worse than spending hours/days working on a way to do things only to find there is a preset somewhere that does it for you.
In my flash file, I embedded a .swf (different page flip from my previous posts) that loads when "Clothes" button is clicked in the flash file.
When I navigate away from this page, it unloads. However, when i click on "Clothes" again with the .swf, the page flip won't load. [URL] To load the pageflip (under "Clothes"), I'm using:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("magazine_flip.swf"); myLoader.x = -300; myLoader.y = -165; myLoader.load(url); myLoader.unload(); To unload (for all other buttons), I have: myLoader.unload();
In my flash file, I embedded a .swf (page flip) that loads when "Clothes" button is clicked in the flash file. When I navigate away from this page, it unloads. However, when i click on "Clothes" again with the .swf, the page flip won't load.
Can you implement a pageflip...even a basic one...in flash 8/as2.0?
My boss came across this crap, and now he wants it all over the app im creating...but I'm coding in AS2.0 and have been told that it would be nearly impossible for me (a rookie flasher) to port this to AS3.0
