ActionScript 2.0 :: Macromedia Site Navigation...delay OnRollover?
Jan 18, 2005
Not sure if it is just me, but I cannot seem to find any other menu out there that functions like the macromedia menu. I am building a navigation for ford.ca and the client wishes the navigation to behave like the macromedia site. MM site nav has some sort of delay that is triggerred before the rollover function fires, as well it detects when the mouse stops moving before firing. Take a close examination and you will see this.
I coded a website menu to xscale each navigation item for 1.5 seconds when you rollover it. The problem is if you place the cursor on the edge of the item it repeats the xscale tween over and over again. You can view the nav at [URL]. Is there a way to set a delay between tweens so it diesn't start the next tween until the previous is finished? I tried adding a delay but it only performs the tween once.
Here is my code: bannerservice_mc.onRollOver = function () { if (tweenDelay != true) { var scaleBannerRolloverService:Tween = new Tween(bannerservice_mc, "_xscale", Elastic.easeOut, 50, 100, 1.5, true); tweenDelay = true; [Code] .....
I promise this is my last question regarding the XML nav you guys made I want the navigation to expand onRollOver not onRelease. When i change it it doesn't work, why not? This seems so simple but yet it won't work here's some code
// This is an array, a list of the buttons used. var myButtons = [this.myButton_1, this.myButton_2, this.myButton_3, this.myButton_4]; // Loops on all buttons from the first to the last one for (var i=0; i<myButtons.length; i++) { // When the mouse rolls over this menu option... reduce size just a bit. // NOTICE: I'm not taking into consideration the problem of having the hit area going down and "moving" the // mouse area and out of the button (possible rollover flicking). This is just a simple example afterall.
[Code]...
In the above instance how would I address the problem of flickering? I think want to apply the .onRollOver to an invisible button instead. How can this be done? Im just getting started with tweening animations outside the timeline with MCTween
im trying to make a navigation bar for my flash site. The idea is that all the content is displayed in small vertical lines, like this - and when you scroll over a line it opens out to a thumbnail. At the same time the other lines move outwards to accommodate the space taken up by the thumbnail. I wanted only the line your scrolling over to show but its kinda similar to the mac osx dock. Ive tried using examples of mac docks and none seem to do what i want them too.
New to this forum, but was wondering if the moving background on this site [URL] is actionscript or just an animation. It looks very cool. I wanted to use the same effect for a school project I'm working on, I am using MX 2004.
I have a tutorial-based carousel navigation item for my site built, and now new XML content (CDATA) for the carousel can be loaded dynamically into the carousel depending on pressing different language buttons (example attached). After a few fails and tries, all good!
What I am trying to do is apply a preloader for the whole thing. Attached are 3 FLAs:1) 'working' shows the different language buttons working as I have them - the tooltips and expanded icons will show different XML content depending on the language button selected (English, Polish, German, Dutch - haven't created content or translated yet, but you can see different identifiers!)
2) 'preloader' shows the preloader I would like to apply to the carousel item. The layers are moved to frame ten mostly, 'Export in Frame 1' has been un-checked in properties for the 'item' and 'tooltip' library items, and a new layer containing dummy 'item' and 'tooltip' instances in keyframe 5 have been added. The AS has also been changed, but it doesn't take into account the multi-XML change as in 1 above
3) 'bridging' is my sorry attempt to bridge the gap between 1 and 2 above. I think that a separate array will be needed - one for the multi-XML and another for the way in which the preloader works, but nothing that I have done so far can get this to work. I have been banging my head on this since Saturday, the 'bridging' actions layer only contains a slight variation on some of the bonkers theories I have been trying, I've rolled back most of the changes - all to no avail though....
Can anybody please have a look at what I am trying to do and let me know what it is that I am doing wrong, or give me some pointers? The 'problem' AS sits in the keyframe in frame 10 of the 'actions' layer.
[URL] how the navigation/drop down menu on this site was created--from a technical stand point? I'd like to try something similar, but don't know where to start i.e. how are the elements of the menu situated on the timeline? What sort of actions are behind the buttons? Etc...
I have a movieClip, which in turn has a nested movieClip. I need each of these to have thier own onRollOver events, the parent movieClip is OK, but the event never fires for the nested movieClip. My code goes something like this:
[Code]...
is output when mcOne is rolled over, as it should, but nothing is output when mcTwo is moused over.
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
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.
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 build a carousel gallery and put it into my HTML page in a hybrid site but the problem is that it starts spinning as soon as the HTML page is loaded because it works with cursor distance from the center of the stage. Is there a way of deactivating it and ONLY onRollOver is it activated and when i roll off it is deactivated again. my second problem is that I've made a flash navigation for the same HTML site. This is the code I've used for the button states:
I want to create a function based (not frame) delay of about 10 seconds to the function at the start of a flash movie, the code only needs to run once.I'm very new to actionscript and have been given links to SetInterval and SetTimer examples but they all seem to be very complex.The function is below. I believe it's possible to add the commandTimer(delay:Number, repeatCount:int = 0) how me to a simple example.
I've got a macromedia flash 5 CD fresh from the box. But it won't install, it just installs something called macromedia generator 2 and not the flash 5.
how to view macromedia flash sites i have vista firefox and adobe flash player 10 but i still cant use the site [URL] can i install macromedia flash player over my adobe flash player without errors
Does anyone have the Macromedia MX Documentation Updater or the updated help files or even a PDF? My help doesn't work properly in the browser. I can get to the Macromedia MX Documentation Updater page on the adobe site, but I can't get past the register and download page.
I have created some swf files using non macromedia software. I have loaded them as targets into movieclips in my flash file. I have then animated these movieclips linked with the external swf files. The animation of the movieclips links to what is going on in the swf files. Therefore I need to load the external swf file completely before I can animate it.What is the best way to achieve this? do i create an external preloader? How would I do this? (i'm a beginner and don't need any loading bars or anything, just a very very simple preloader!)
To make it short. Macromedia Flash doesnt support Farsi and Arabic language BUT you still can use Farsi & Aarabic in flash. All you need is another program that called "Parspad" that will some how make Farsi & Arabic words appear in flash. To get the program go to this address [URL]. And you will find one of the best Farsi and Arabic editor with almost Hundred beautiful Fonts.
Steps in how to use the program with flash: 1- Open the program "Parspad" then type in Farsi / Arabic whatever you want 2- Go to "Parspad" menu >edit> or Highlight the text and right click copy. 3- Then go to flash and past 4- Select the text you just pasted and change its font to exact font you used in "Parspad"fonts that comes with it.. you have to scroll throw fonts till you find it. It should be about 100 different fonts that works with Parspad, but you have to choose the exact one you used in "ParsPad". [URL]
put the macromedia logo on your cd packaging.I have done a multimedia cd that has significant flash content.Do i need to put an adobe logo on the packaging.
I try to open the macromedia flash 8 version flash file in the Adobe Flash CS4. At that time one "Font Mapping" window came. In that Window "The document "Name" contains one or more fonts currently not available on your system. The text will display and publish with the font mapping below".
i am trying to review flash for our game thesis in school. i am trying to read a pdf file about flash and i am trying to do the examples listed in the notes.but i can't find the location of the project panel. Well i know where it lies if i used my own laptop with the prescribe flash in it. (FYI, i am using the company's installed flash in my assigned computer. i am an ojt here and since i finished their project early, i dont do much here anymore) so as pass time, i study flash for our thesis (my boss doesn't mind. He believed learning is good)The flash installed here i thinks is a bit old version. and honestly, i can't apply what i am learning since the setup is way different.So does anyone knows where the project panel is located? or if it is close, where can i open it? The company is using a Macromedia Flash MX by the way,
I have been trying to figure out how to load external text into a flash site. I completed the tutorial on kirupa and got it working fine, But I also wanted text that just loads without the press of a button. I got the attached files from macromedia's site, and was able to incorperate it into my site i am building. But however it doesnt allow html formatting. I am not too great at this stuff so I don't really know how to change the code.
I have used the sliding menu instructions from this site but seem to be messing it up somewhere despite having done it 8 times now. When i unzip the files, it comes with B1-5, Content 1-5, em and em2, holder and maskMovie. I assume they are for me to use.I think I am doing it all right up until the bit where I cover with a mask over content 1 which is held within the contentHoldDo I use the maskMovie or draw a box in myself?
