ActionScript 2.0 :: Mac OS X Dock Menu Effect Doesn't Work
Mar 22, 2006
i found this nice Mac OS X Dock Menu effect on [URL] (the second link from the top), the thing is, it only works when it is published for flash player 6 or lower... why it doesn't work when it is published for flash player 7...
I have the elastic movement snippet (from Keith Peters), which works fine except for Flash 7 player and higher. In Flash 7 leafes just scatering outwith no elastic interaction. Compiler doesn't throw any errors.I tried Actionscript 2 static strict type variable declarations, but no success.
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 created a movie in CS3 which is basically a series of images that scroll from right to left across the screen. Each image also has a url assigned to it so that clicking on that image takes you to another (external) website. It's all working beautifully.All I want to be able to do now is to create a mouseover effect, whereby when your cursor is over the scrolling image, that image only enlarges slightly - a bit like the Apple dock effect. Then, if the cursor moves to the second image, the first image reduces back to its original size and the second one enlarges.
Ok so i was following this tutorial today at: [URL]..and its a good tutorial... with one exception. They never tell you where you can put the code for clicking on the buttons to make them functional.so now i have some good looking buttons that dont go anywhere. Any one want to take a look at this and see if you can tell me where i can put in my "click" event code.
Im working on migrating an old as2 file to as3 and am stuck on a swapDepths issue--Havent had any luck with setChildIndex or swapChildren--Nothing is being dynamically added to the stage and as the clips are nested and consist of timeline layers of textfields and MCs Im not even sure what is a child of what. for some reason on mousing over the menu, the code I have for highlighting the button and showing the text that was appended(on long lines of item descriptions) due to size constraints of the component, is showing up as semi-transparent--I dont understand what is causing it to happen(although I resolved the issue previously with swapDepths)or how to resolve it. The code thats is the issue is in the menuButton MC timeline layer 13...
Here's the link to the file--see button 8--- [URL]
I was following this nice tutorial on how to create a dock-like menu in Flash.I managed to add my own icons and to adapt height and length etc., but I did not manage to remove the grey bar in the back.And more important, to add a link to one of the items in the dock. I tried to make the icon a button, but that didn't really work.
I have a flash website, with two menu the main menu that loads by Loader class swf files with the respective content. And the secondary menu that changes the language of the site. How do u implement the action of having the site translation?
1)Passing params Load file.swf?langid=n then reading by loader info (this one is not easy to test since loading swf with params doesn't work in flash ide debug env.)or
2) on load complete cast the loader to a movieclip the accessng a main func with the task of translating the whole swf contents(the same func i should have at point 1)
I am trying to create a menu, similar to a dock menu but that just magnifies the images when rolled over (rather than overly crazy carosels or massively zooming docks. and secondly...the dock menu would link to separate flvs that are on a streaming server. I've never worked with one before and wonder how to connect them to my flash. I'm trying to create an flv player, sorry, shouldve said earlier... but one that only plays 6 vids (linked to by the magnifying dock menu).
Trying to get this horizontal dock menu to be vertical and not pivoting from the center. I want to have the frist item of the array (holding the menu to be at a fixed position e.g (0,0). And i want to be able to hover vertically along the y axis [code]I have attached the fla i am working on. I think i am almost there, just need some tweaks to make it 100%.
I made a simple website with a flash menu, that opens internal links in an iframe. However, I have a few other (not included in the menu) external links, which open in the same iframe. And after I click on one of them and it loads in the iframe, the buttons on the menu stop working. I'm beginning to think it has something to do with the internet explorer, since it works on some computers. But I'm not sure... not very good at this.
It's a bit of decoration to go behind a logo. When the dMove var is commented out I get the appropriate line of squares fading in and out at random spots along the x = 78 axis, but when introduced nothing appears at all...
I decided to try to use setInterval for myanimation, which is just a mouse trail.However, I'm trying to get teh mouse trail to be a dynamic mask.In my previous swf this was achieved by using a holder mc with the animation inside and then using this as the mask. But this time I just canpt seem to hit on the right way to get it to work. The code I am using for the mouse trail is:
Code: var i:Number = 0; var myInt:Number; var t:MovieClip;[code].....
in the function, but now the trail doesn't resize and the mask still doesn't work.
I have a button object that I need to scale to align with the variable width of an array of images.However, when I set the width in code, the button does not actually become that width. Tracing out the width gives me the correct value, but on screen.. it's off.
I've proved it to myself by scaling the same button object manually in the properties pane and visually comparing. Both of the buttons below have a width of 410.
when I point my cs5.5 directory to a specific location with my AS files, it doesn't work. When I write code in a AS file it doesn't effect the fla. I've tried to put simple things such as:
var hug:int = 24; trace(hug);
just to make sure. So help? I have everything pointed to my AS source files and stuff. Also my main class works but the other AS files don't affect on the fla.
I'm trying to use an onUnload transition on several movieClips, but the transition doesn't seem to take effect. the clips are just instantly vanishing. I am using AS based Tweens to handle this, btw.all other clip AS is working correctly.
I have created a scrolling menu based on the iphone. It works. But it needs some easing on it so that it doesnt stop moving straight away(like the iphone).
I'm trying to update some TextField's style, eg. color, fontSize, fontFamily. I'm creating field by:
var textField:TextField = new TextField(); var style:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet(); style.parseCSS("p{color: #000000; fontFamily: System; fontSize: 20px;}"); textField.styleSheet = style;
I would like to do something like the menu on the left hand side of this page: [URL] I am after the effect where the color fades in when rolled over and fades out when the mouse leaves the area.
I want to effect a kind .. a binder, that when you mouse menu comes back to front, I've created a tween on the Over the menu and applied a small effect for him to run to the right and then back to the same place on the last frame and I put 'Modify > Arrange> Bring To Front 'But even then it did not work: x.
Actually I want to create a fisheye effect for my portfolio site, I tried to do that but other links get overlap on previous link .While I rollover a button all other button should move away from the target button(active button).
Code: Select allimport caurina.transitions.*; var k:Array = new Array(); for (var i=0; i<5; i++) {
I've ben through the Sliding menu tutorial on kirupa at:[URL]The effect is great although for my purposes I am trying toget rid of the elastic easing effect and get a even speed without easing. The overall effect I want to achieve is a more of a push and stop rather than the blocks being sprung into place. [URL]
I am trying to make a image slideshow for my companies new website. I used the Flash Image Viewer plugin from Dreamweaver, but it doesn't contain the transitional effect desired.
Every tutorial I find talks about advancing the images through an interactive control, I just want the images to change by themselves and do a fade transitional effect between images. Can anyone please point me to a tutorial that has this w/o the intractive buttons? I have been looking on the internet for hours and can only find tutorials / example w/ the intractve controls.
