I have created an xml navigation and there are some differen categories in it. But now I want that the button will have a color that is his categorie. I used this code:
[Code]...
I currently have a slideshow-style navigation site. There are five buttons on the bottom and when the user clicks each button, it triggers a nested movieclip to play. I would like the button to be highlighted when the corresponding movieclip is playing, but when they click another button and another movieclip plays, I want the button to go back to its original color.
The problem is that the movieclips that are playing are nested two levels down and the buttons have to be on the main timeline. I think I might need an event listener to see if a certain nested movieclip is playing, to know to change the button color. It seems to easy but I can't figure it out,
I have a movieclip object and I want to tween the color of this object from colorA to colorB when I click a button. What is the best way of doing this, is it possible to do it with the tween class? As far as I can see its not possible to tween a tint with the Tween class?

View 20 RepliesHoping someone can point me in the right direction with this. Instead of creating a button and nesting movie clips for each state, I'm trying to script an animated button of a square (no fill) where on rollover the stroke color changes from one color to another (tweening the tint). I want to do this to the button symbol so it's the same for all instances. Is this possible or do I have to go the button > nested MC route? Sorry if this is lame...it's been awhile since I've used Flash and I've forgotten quite a bit.

I was wondering if there is a way to jump to a specific frame name when loading a new .swf file? For example, I have my Main.swf which holds the navigation. Then I created 5 other .swfs to hold the content.Depending what button is pushed, I will load the correct movie into a placeholder MC on the main screen.However, I want to jump to a specific point within the new movie, can I do that? I am loading by levels in which I am using the level 0 each time so the new page takes over and the previous page is not transparent seeing through. So, on the buttons, I am using the basic:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum ("content1.swf", 0);
}[code]....
I tried that, but could not get it to work. Also, since I am loading by level, does that sort of over ride my loading into placehold or what is the major difference?
If I have say 7 buttons, each containing text that changes color on rollover using the "Up" "Over" and "Down" keyframes in the buttons' timeline. Is there a simple way to get the button's text to change color when clicked, stay that way, and then change back to the original color once one of the other 6 buttons are clicked?
The only thing I can come up with is writing pages of code for each button that changes the color of every other button regardless of whether it was active.
I found a multiple drag to a single drop example here on the forums that works wonderful for the dragging and dropping part of my project. I am now trying to add in a sort of category detection. I have 45 movieclips located on the stage. They get set up with a loop, giving them a drag/drop functionality. The movieclips belong to one of 7 categories. The user can drag only 5 movieclips to a designated area. Once the 5 have been selected, I need to then figure out which category had the most selected. What would be the best way to set this up? Here is what I'm working with so far

this works the way I wanted but only because I experimented around and found the right values (or at least values that work). I would prefer to know how the whole system works

I wanted to add some category buttons so far its going well with the new xml.
Only I can't figure out the switch between the category button.
When i click on cat 1 Btn everything loads fine then when i click on cat btn 2 instead of reloading and "throwing" cat1 content away cat 2 content loads behind cat1 content...I hope that made sense.....
I have added the files, it's basically the same just a different XML and some tweaking on the XML load function. I didn't add the images since the file was to big, you can get the images from Todd's post. viewtopic.php?f=9&t=16158&p=82039

Basically i want to have Album categories the same way the thumbnails work so their is a mask limiting 4 categories on screen and when you click < or > arrows next to the categories it shows the next 4 categories that you would be able to choose from.
Then I would want it to load whatever category you selected into the thumbnails and the larger pic.
Does anyone know how to do this ? Or if their is another tutorial that would show me how to add categories into something like a gallery with thumbnails?
Apologies for being stupid and the poor grammar I've been searching everywhere to find out how i can add in some categories and still have it linked to the thumbnail scroller and larger images, but i haven't found any luck at all I just want it so you could add in as many thumbs and categories as you wanted and have those masked and scrollable rather then a dropdown.
I paid for some silly pdfs to explain it better to me but they did it in a way that I didn't like and turned out just to be a waste of money. Learnt my lesson and signed up here to ask the pros! I want to create something that can be updated from just an xml file.
