ActionScript 2.0 :: Modification To The Transition Tutorial?
Nov 5, 2004
well this is gonna be a long big essay. So lets start. I used this tutorial to make a nice menu. I got some ideas by searching this forum. Finally came up with this (check the attached .fla) ... Allright, now umm...its really hard to explain. But i gotta explain this. lease Check the attached fla to get the idea of what I am talking here. You will notice that there are 3 buttons in the MAIN MENU. 1) Home 2 Forums. or the SUBMENU : I put 3 more buttons inside the forums_mc (look in the library) on frame 61. The buttons are 1) EXT MC 1 , 2) EXT MC 2, 3) EXT MC 3. I want to use these buttons to load external swf. I want to use the same logic used in the transition tutorial to make the intro and outro transitions. In addition to that, if I press any button on the MAIN MENU, the externally loaded swf should play outro transition and also collapse the SUBMENU. BUT (this is important) , if I press any button in the SUB MENU (like the button EXT MC 2) , then outro transition should play in the ext swf, but the SUB MENU SHOULD NOT PLAY THE OUTRO ANIMATION (which we want to do, when pressing any button on MAIN MENU).
Also the externally loaded swf should load in the emptycontainer movieclip inside the FORUMS_MC clipSo, got any ideas how to do this ???k the attached files. The above discription will only make sense if you see the .fla and other files attached. tried my best to do this, but could not succeed. Also, i asked many friends, but they are not able to do this...I am pretty sure that Masters like POM and Voetsjoeba, scotty and many others will be able to solve this problem.
I used the transition for dynamic files tutorial and it works great.I only have a problem..ause it is dynamic i'm not able to use normal text, bgcolor and scrollable textfields in the external swf's and I want to
I am working with the transitions tutorial: [URL]... Here is a link to the modified example im working on. [URL]...If you are familiar with this tutorial you will see this is familiar. Main movie checks to see if the specific section is at "midframe" if its not it waits and does nothing, then once you have transitioned to midframe and stopped it, click on the next section will then transition out and load the next movie. I am tring to do a little variation of it.
ok we have mainmovie2004.swf which has 4 buttons. Each button, section1, section2, section3, and section4 all load specific movies to "container" on the main timeline. Section1 button loads section1.swf, Section2 button loads section2.swf...etc. Well I have placed another set of buttons in each section (just section1 and 2 for example sake). Each button loads a specific movie into container_small (yeah I know it doesnt follow camelCode but thats the least of my concerns). I have been messing around with the code and I am able to get Section1 to load, then when I click on the first pink button in section1 it loads section1.1 which is (section1_1.swf). When I click on the next button it just reloads the same section no matter what. The other sections work because when you load section1 and click on any pink button the corresponding swf loads just doesnt ever transition out. The tree would like like this: {mainmovie2004.swf[section1.swf(section1_1.swf)]}.
I think the problem is the last frame of each sub section has an action that will load the next section. I need to get the path correct.
First post. I was just going through Voetsjoeba's tutorial on making transitions between external swf's [URL]..
"If your buttons are not located on the main timeline, you will have to change the path to the container movieclip. In this example the buttons are located on the main timeline, therefore 'container' targets the container movieclip correctly. Though, if they are not on the main timeline, you must change container to the appropriate path."
I was wondering if anyone could elaborate on this. That is, how the path to the container movieclip would need to be changed in this situation. Apologies if the question is too vague.
I sent an email to pom regarding a tutorial that he wrote, but the email was bounced and he hasn't replied to my PM. I have followed both of pom's tutorials that involve experiments with perspective in Flash, but I have encountered a problem while attempting to duplicate a movie clip symbol in the second tutorial ([URL]). I have a single instance of the "ball" movie clip symbol appearing at random positions. However, I cannot seem to successfully duplicate the symbol instance at random positions using the loop that pom provided:
I have built a catalog in flash that was orginally built in InDesign and exported but it has some small content that is hard to read for the elderly users viewing it and I would like to add a zoom feature or some type of magnifying glass.
original: I really just need to figure out how to center the pictures. here is what I did I have modified the tutorial that I finished to have a bigger stage for bigger pictures. Everything is working properly but the pictures are displayed on the left side, I want to have them centered in the stage for the images, after clicking on the thumbnails, plus my images are different sizes as well. ranging from 200x410 to 744x410 but all are the same height of 410. i will post up what I am talking about at the end. I believe it is something within either the action script or the xml coding that allows the position of the image to be differently? please help here is what i am talking about[URL] Continued: Here is my coding in action script:
How can I add a Squeeze transition effect between frames using the transition manager class on a simple slideshow using the goBack and goForward functions in ActionScript3? Below is the code I have so far:
stop(); function goBack(event:MouseEvent):void {[code].....
i have a flex app that transitions between 2 states with the toggle of a button. my issue is that the effect of fading only seems to work on the 2nd transition and after. However, for my first transition... going from State1 to studyState... there is no fade effect whatsoever, in fact the components in state1 disappear completely (the footer fills the empty gap where the "body" use to be) and then the flex recreates the studyState (without any fade refilling the "body" with components only in studyState). After this first transition however, going between studyState and State1 working COMPLETELY fine.. why does this happen and how can i make it so that crossfade works STARTING FROM THE VERY FIRST TRANSITION?[code]
I have a presentation using the "presentation" template that comes with flash. I am trying to transition slides with the behavior slide transition options. but I've learned that it works find while going into a slide and doesn't go to the next slide when leaving.So basically I want it so that on right arrow first play out transition then go to next slide.
I am using a swf file as the back drop for a page and it works on Firefox and Safari but not in Netscape, Opera, and IE. I have chased the issue to the actual flash element and how it is programmed to play differently by the AC_RunActive javascript file. code, written to allow for a change of the z-index position. Also, the problem with Netscape is that the entire animation is not being shown. I have the html for linking flash in a div tag and it doesn't seem to want to see it. I may have two seperate issues with the same code or they may be linked.
I need to create an arrayCollection as a copy of other arrayCollection. Then I need to change some data inside the copy, but when I do that the original arrayCollection changes as well. Is there a way to stop the changes in the original arrayCollection? For example I got: arrColOrig[0].someVar = 1
I'm using Flash MX and am following the falling snow tutorial in the actionscript section. What I'd like is for the snow to move from right to left, but still with the random y position.This code gives me snow (particle) moving right, left, and right again but most ends up along the top (y value of 0).
onClipEvent (load) { //specifies the size of the movie stage movieWidth = 131;[code]....
I am trying to modify the "Adding Thumbnails" tutorial found here:[URL].. I would like to have the bottom thumbnail scroller start to scroll automatically upon page load. The two areas within the scroll area that currently control the moving of the scroll area would not be needed. Each thumb nail would also need to be clickable and point to their full size images. Currently, when the user causes the scroll to happen, it moves untill their are no items left in the array. I would like for the automatic scrolling to continually scroll, looping back to the beginning of the array when completed, over and over again.
I have a dynamic text field with space for only one character. The text field id embedded with a space and the 26 uppercase letters A-Z. The text field is intiated being empty. I have two buttons, and up and a down. When i press on the up button, i want the value in the text to be incremented by 1, for example, if it is a space, it should increment to an "A", if it is a "P" it should be incremented to a "Q", and if it is a "Z" it should be ncremented so it goes back to being a space. I have managed to do this with a bunch of 27 if else statements, but surely there must be a way of simply incrementing the value in the text field?
a client has asked me to make modifications in a flash file used on his website. i am currently working on the same. the client has given me 'about.swf' file which i decompiled using sothink decompiler 4.5 build 90120 to 'about original.fla'. the xml folder resides in the same folder as ~about original.fla. it contains about_us.xml.you can download these files at [URL] online_questions.zip the change the client wants is as follows - if you view 'about.swf' - when you click on 'key people', the details of 4 people
ive been searching around about tween class easing in as2 and ive found this great tutorial URL...need a help though, im not really a actionscript programmer, but i wanted to modify this code:Code:import mx.transitions.Tween;[code]how would i modify the code so my objects not only goes on a straight line(_x like in the code from 0x to 400x), what if i wanted a diagonal direction, it will start in x and ends in y?
Is it possible to modify a shape within a body after assigning it, for example I have a box shape for my game hero body, and when I press the down arrow I want my hero to crouch witch means that I need the body shape to be resized.
I've already searched in google but it appears that the topic of modyfing shapes is not so popular. If it's impossible maybe you know a better way of doing this.
I'd like to hardcode a file to periodically check its modification date. Do you have to browse for a file first using filereference.browse to check its modification date or can you hardcode a local file (with absolute path)?
I am using loadMovie to put an image onto the movieclip instance "mov_NowPlaying". The movieclip is sized to 56 X 56 on the stage, however, the image is around 120 X 120. I cannot seem to trace or change the width and height properties of the loaded image to 56 X 56. Here is what I have:
Code: Select allnewClam.clamTop.mov_NowPlaying.loadMovie("../videos/video3/meow.jpg", newClam.clamTop.mov_NowPlaying); newClam.clamTop.mov_NowPlaying.onEnterFrame = function () {
I'm trying to make a few modifications to the XML Slideshow; I've removed the scrolling, and would like the thumbnails to animate X position when they load; starting off stage and moving on. I'd also like a black border around the thumbs to appear on Rollover/Click...I have an idea on how this should work, but having trouble implementing it...I'm guessing I'd have to attach another movieclip behind each thumb and set visibility of that clip on rollover.
Here's the code I'm using with the attempt at animation. function thumbnails_fn(k) { thumbnail_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("t"+k, thumbnail_mc.getNextHighestDepth()); tlistener = new Object(); tlistener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc) { [Code] .....
I've got on the web some code of nice rotating objects from xml file. But I need to make, that when you mouse over one object, the rotation get stopped. I don't know exactly how to do it, so I'm asking for your. Pasting bellow the code and URL example of the animation.
i followed a tutorial on line that showed me how to create a scrollbar gallery with the use of only action script and xml, i also looked at another tutorial that allowed me to be able to use thumb nails to change the images been displayed. now i'm trying to modify the former tutorial gallery i made to include this function by using my already set images as the thumbnail and when this images are clicked i go to the next page or frame and display the corresponding image. i have been able to get the images clickable but i can't seem to get the image to be displayed. here is my code and my xml file here. even if its an idea i wouldn't mind. been at it for 2weeks now and i can't seem to find a solution.
PHP Code: stop();import mx.transitions.Tween;import mx.transitions.easing.*;//maincodevar myGalleryXML = new XML();myGalleryXML.ignoreWhite true;myGalleryXML.load("test/gallery.xml");m
I have been working on modifying an existing FLVPlayback skin. Ideally I would like to have one that uses a counter. The problem is, all the fla's provided for the skins with counters fail to publish/compile correctly. Fla's are here: C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Flash CS5CommonConfigurationFLVPlayback SkinsFLAActionScript 3.0
I was working with the sample code from the Click and Zoom 3D Carouse tutorial and was wondering if anybody figured out a way to have full rotation?
When the demo tutorial files first load the first image is the energy drink. The last is the cat. When you click on the cat first, the carousel, rotates all the way around to it rather than just one slot back. Similary, when at the cat (the last image) and clicking on the energy drink (the first), it rotates all the way around back rather than just one slot forward.
I have written an Air program that mirrors a directory tree. The problem is that the destination folder structure and content need to be identical - right down to the creationDate and modificaitonDate file attributes. How can I change these file attributes using Adobe Air? I'm able to READ them both just fine, but the properties are read-only. How do I change them?
I want to separate the time_txt inside the counter_mc into two objects. One displaying just the displayheadTime and the other the totalTime. I want to do this on the skin file. What my problem is I can't seem to find the part where the text is being set at all. I am using CS5/FlvPlayback 2.5.
