ActionScript 2.0 :: Menu With Easing Pointer?
Nov 13, 2003
I know this easing thing has been gone over time and time again but I can't find a solution to my problem. Basically I have a menu of 3 items (mc instances on the stage). When you roll over an item I would like a pointer to ease to that item. The problem in my code is that the pointer mc eases up to a menu item mc but only works in an onClipEvent(enterFrame) event. If I place the code in an on(rollover) event within a menu item instance, the easing won't occur. In addition, I'm having problems with the scope of the menu. I would like this all to sit within a seperate mc but can't get any of the as to work if I do so. I'm not asking for the complete answer but some assistance in finding a solution . I'll post the .fla to clear up any confusion. By the way, I've already looked at the easing tutorials on kirupa but they didn't help with this problem.

I have been working on a horizontal AS3 draggable menu for some time now and i am almost there with it. I am basically trying to replicate the menu at [url]...
So far i have got everything to work apart from the easing movement when the menu is dragged. The menu is quite simple, it is made up of a container mc.Inside this container there are 6 buttons which fill the dimensions of the container.The container itself is bigger than the stage and the user must click and drag the menu horizontally to see the rest of the menu.This is working. However, i am still after an easing effect when the menu is being dragged as it stops dead (because it is using the startDrag and stopDrag commands).how to implement an easing effect on the dragging of this menu i would be so grateful as i cannot manage to do it! (perhaps using tweenlite or tweenmax if its easier, or by using simple physics - I have attached a zip file that contains a compiled SWF and a CS4 FLA file.This is the AS3 i have so far:
Code:
stop();
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;[code].........

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 have a circular rotating menu made up of a few buttons. When the mouse rolls over the a button in the movie clip (rotating menu) it stops. My question is how do I apply easing to it, here is the actionscript I applied to the buttons:

I'm trying to develop an infinite menu (horizontal scroller) for a Portfolio. It works but not properly the way it should. After few loops the images get out of sync I don't know why. And if possible can you also help to add some easing to the movement? What I did was, I add to instances of the menu one called menu and another called menu1. Than add the following code to the timeline: import flash.events.Event;

I've created a sliding menu that has a left button and a right button. Each button slides a background movieclip to the left or right. The background mc eases into position when one of the buttons is clicked. Problem is that buttons can still be clicked while the mc is easing into position. This throws off my x coordinate positioning of the mc. I've tried disabling the buttons and enabling them again at a few different points in my code. I've also tried using a time delay to enable the buttons but my logic isn't working.

I am currently working on an XML navigation component and am having problems making it collapse and expand correctly with easing animation. I have no problems when it goes two levels, but it messes up on the tertiary navigation, and I REALLY NEED three levels in this thing. Here are links to my swf files to demonstrate it working without animation, and broken with the animation. Also linked is my source file for anyone to look at and debug. If anyone can fix this, well, they'll have a component for a dynamic generating menu with as many levels of subsections through xml.
Otherwise, would anyone know where I could find a collapsible xml menu with three levels sub navigation (like a section with a subsection that has another subsection)? The other ones are only two! Anyways, here are the files:

I'm very new to Flash CS3 and have set myself the task of creating a flash based website, with the same functionality as [URL] creating the drop down menu - I believe I should be exploring rollovers/rollouts and also applying easing effects, however I have no idea what kind of actionscript to use.

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;
but the scene slow and goes backward a bit

I'm looking to do a sliding image menu like this one: [URL]. I can do this using tweening but it is not as smooth as using actionscript. Does anyone know what the name of this is as when I do a search as I can't find any solutions? I've tried 'thumbnail expand' and 'image easing' but am not getting any hits.

I have a question regarding the "Easing Menu"
I wan't to make use of both a interactive menu to move around the "slides" (as in the tutorial) and a automatic system that moves the "slides" with a delay with for example 10 seconds. I shall use this in a banner.

I've read some previous post by others, and have got the concept of how to make it happen just need to ask a few specific questions, one is the action script for changing the movie to the cursor and telling it how to move as the mouse cursor, next question is how do i get to act as the mouse pointer for the whole page, for instance I'm using frames I've got my buttons in the left frame, with a banner it the nested top and then the pages of course load in the main frame, how when creating the mouse cursor do i get it to work all over the page? I wasn't sure if using the normal method if it acts through out the whole site or just over a flash movie.

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?

I have created this site with a expanding / collapsin menu. When a user selects a menu e.g. "hammers" then the menu is loaded and show the submenues. When the users closes the menu by moving the mouse away from the area the menu collapses. If the user expands the menu again the menu should have remember the last visit menu and show the menu.

The menu is like this http:[url]... (the site is in portuguese but it doesnt matter), when I click in on menu the actual menu does an alpha to 0 and the next menu appears using the alpha from 0 to 100 (and some animations like the cellphone going up).Now, how can I do a menu like that, whatever the menu I choose, it does that alpha animation ?

I was wondering if it was possible to call a pointer to the stage to replace the original pointer. I know the action script to replace the original pointer and to hide it but I need to know if it can be called so that I dont have to put one of the pointer on every frame I want the pointer to be replaced.

Mouse.hide();
target.onMouseMove = function() {

And on the movie clip (target) that i am using for the custom pointer, i've put
onClipEvent (load) {
startDrag(true);
}
How can i constrain the pointer to an area of lets say 800x600 ?

Sometimes my mouse pointer will turn into a double arrow "<-->" for no reason when using the program. Is it just me?? I do understand it is suppose to when dragging frames, etc.., but this is not the case when I see it. I'm still able to make selections with it and it doesn't prevent me from normal use. It's just a pita too see it.

On the site above, the designer has managed to replace the mouse pointer with a plus (+) or minus (-) depending on where the mouse pointer is (either the left hand side of the screen or the right).I'd like to know how I could achieve this via AS3, if this is a possibility.

I have three large movieclip buttons on stage which change color on mouseover. When the user clicks on one of these, the buttons are hidden for the user a few seconds (timer). When the buttons reappear, and if the mouse pointer is already over one of these buttons, I would like the button to have the mouseover color. As it is now, the user has to move the pointer away and back on the button to change it's color.
So I would like to get the instance name of a movieclip under the mouse pointer after a timer completes. I tried this[code]....

I've managed to find the tutorial for custom mouse pointers but I haven't managed to find quite what I need.What I want is a mouse pointer thats actually a car (an overhead view) that rotates as tho it was driving. So its orientation is dependent on the direction the mouse pointer is moving. Basically I want the car to face the direction its driving in.
