ActionScript 2.0 :: Moving One MovieClip With Four Different Buttons
Oct 24, 2002
I am designing a site with four "pages" each page is on a different frame of the same timeline. I have four navigational buttons for each frame. I have a movieclip in the shape of a small triangle that indicates which button has been pressed. On the initial load of the site the arrow(triangle) is not shown on the "home" page. I would like for the arrowmc to show under the button that is pressed, then when another button is pressed the arrowmc would slide under that button. Say I press button A then button D the arrowmc would slide horizontally underneath button D. I think I need a function call for each onPress event but telling the movieclip which button to slide under is what is stumping me.
I'm currently working on a GUI design and for the options, instead of a slider I want a movie clip that fills 5 boxes or empties the boxes when i hit the plus or minus buttons I've made. I created a movie clip called bars which has 6 frames. Then I made an addbar button and a subbar button. I then created a movieclip with all three items inside of it called gauge. I set the actionscript to the gauge movie clip. This is what code I have in currently. When I play the swf the boxes remains empty and will not move through the movie clip of bars like I want.
i'm new to these forums and relatively new to AS3 so bare with me basically i have designed a 360degree flash applications using a movieclip that pans a panoramic photo when the mouse moves left or right. I am now having trouble fixing buttons onto the correct place in the scrolling 360 clip because i can't fix the buttons to a specific point (x + y) on the image itself.
I'm using Adobe Flash CS3 / ActionScript 2 to develop a site, the relevant part of which can be seen at [URL] The black boxes underneath the 2x4 grid of icons are placeholder graphics for left and right arrows which move the icons above to the left and right. The left and right buttons work, after a fashion, but I'm having difficulty controlling the motion. As each button is pressed, I want to reveal one more layer of icons, and have the scrolling stop when the end of the list is reached. At the moment, one can use the buttons to scroll the icons off the screen.
Secondly, if the left / right buttons are clicked in very quick succession, the icons above do not display correctly - they're no longer centred in the mask above. Is it possible to have the buttons 'ignore' any clicks whilst the icons above are moving, thus ensuring that the icons always display correctly? Finally, is it possible to have the left/right button disappear as appropriate when the left/right hand end of the menu is reached? Here's the code I've been using to control the motion:
Here're my 2 problems: 1-I did a menu moving in 3d following my mouse movement. But i would like it to have a limit of rotation on the left and on the right, cause i don't the user to see the back of the image (the image is rotating 360 right now, i would like it to rotate maybe like 90 or less). Here's the code i am using:
[Code]...
2-My second question is about my menu buttons. I want them to be on lower layer cause it help creating my 3d scene cause sometimes it is a part cover by my image on the top. But the buttons stop to be clickable when they are behind something (even a part behind). I want them to be clickable at all time. The strange thing is i checked out in the forum and a lot of people have the opposite problem... their buttons still work. How can i make mine clickable?
what i have is a tween on a movie clip of a popcorn kernel on one layer and a tween on a button on another layer to follow the movie clip. i want to be able to roll over the kernel and make it "pop". i changed my over on the button to popped corn (this works) but i want it to stay popped for the rest of the tween.
I have a panorama which I've coded to move back and forth horizontally when I press the arrow keys. I'm trying to get some buttons to sit at designated points across the panorama.I'm having trouble getting them to stick at the right places, though, instead of roaming around. Right now, I'm focusing on Norris_btn (although Annenberg_btn doesn't work right now either), which starts out in the right position (all the way at the far left of the panorama, which is 10061 px wide). However, if I scroll all the way to the right and then try and go back to the left, Norris_btn appears in the wrong place. Here is my code:
I have 3 buttons in my movie and description for each button in the right side box like in the diagram.
bt_about, bt_profile, bt_contact
Now when I click on about - the about button should move from the stage and profile and contact button should move to the first and second place with an easing movement.
Same in case I click on profile - the profile should move out of the stage and other 2 buttons should come to the first and second position with an easing movement.
I tried this with creating number of movie clips with each possibilities etc.. but it is not going to happen...
the part i am trying to create is the non-moving buttons. when u click on it, it brings the content up and when u click on the icon it goes back to the carosel (rotating menu) how do i create that?bascially it should do the same action as the carousel buttons do.i have already created the carousel and the text buttons but i just th linking the text buttons to the content, the content is inside a movieclip.
I have a problem about my scriptI am doing a image slide which moves from right side of the screen to the left side of the screen at all time. The Slide is about 1000 pixel, within the Image Strip I have 5 images that are buttons. I want to be able click on the image and make the slide to stop.
//In the strip moive clip I have: onClipEvent(enterFrame){ this._x -= 5;
I have created a button which contains a movie for each county, when a user rolls over it pops out and displays a list of names. The problem I have is each button is on a layer and when you roll over the bottom button it's hidden below the others. Is there a script to bring each layer to the front automatically? I'm new to flash so if possible could you please explain in layman's terms.
I am doing a project at school which is based on google street veiw for the inside of school to enable people to have a look around the school online,I have succesfully managed to make a UI and put a 360 degree panorama of the corridors in school behind it which you can drag and drop left and right, which then loops around to the beginning when you reach the end of the panorama.My problem is that I want buttons on the doors of the corridor that you can click on to get a veiw of inside the room, but since the background is movable I need all of the buttons to move with the corridor,.
I'm somewhat stuck in a project that I have to deliver next Friday. Thing is... I've got to code a webpage like The Killers Band webpage with a panoramic picture moving according to your mouse movements.
I've tried several things already, but I had no success yet. (Everything must be coded in AS2.0, and I'm using Flash CS3 to cover the project).
All I have is the panoramic picture, which I might be able to upload if you ask me to.
Additional info:
I've already converted the background picture into a movie clip symbol. Also, if I ever have to send the picture to anyone, I'll send it as a Private Message, since I can't post links yet.
Bonjour my friends, I have just gotten my hands on Adobe Flash CS4 and while I am rather please with my own ability to use the tools, as I've taken several vector art classes at my local community collage, I simply can't seem to get my head around the Actionscript part, while I completely understand it's purpose and capabilities, and have actually looked at several of the tutorials on this board, I still find myself with many questions.Chief among which would be...Is there a way to make an object move vertically a certain amount, each time you click a button, while preventing it from moving farther than a maximum number?- I looked for something like this in the tutorials, my aim simply being to create a sort of scrolling text box via masks and buttons, but all the tutorials were either far too complicated or required vast set up that would require me to take several steps back from my current location.
Also, is there a way to make the animation start on a frame other than frame one?- It was my understanding that one could simply put in a gotoAndPlay(#); code on frame one and that should cause it to go to and play from whatever frame you specify but that seems to be incorrect as it hasn't worked. Other questions I have include..Is there a method by which one could create a sort of slid show, within another scene? IE you're at scene X and you click a button, and a picture that is part of, but not all of, scene X changes to something else, while the rest remains the same.
Basically I have button contained in a movie clip (scroller), I want to be able to drag the button up and down and get this to move some dynamic text. If you want to have a look at the fla: [URL].
And this code for the mc: onClipEvent(enterFrame){ if(_root.nFlag){ if(_root._ymouse <= 400 && _root._ymouse >= 0){ this._y = _root._ymouse }}}
My problem is that this only moves the button up and down, and doesn't move the dynamic text. Plus when the mc is named scroller it seems to conflict with code and moving the button doesn't work.
I have seen instruction on event listeners to get a button to go to a URL or to make a movie pause and whatnot, but what I'm not finding is instruction on how to write the AS3 for a button that simply moves you to a new page within the site itself. Also, if it's a "goto" script, the page that I want it to go to, does that have to be a new scene? If so, how do I merge two scenes together? Essentially, you can look here for what I am trying to accomplish. [URL]
What we want to happen is when let's say the direct marketing button is clicked, we want the other buttons to slide offscreen the way they slid on screen and then a new set of buttons pertaining to the direct marketing will appear at the bottom the way the original buttons appeared at the beginning. Do I need to make these buttons sliding away and a new set of buttons sliding in on a new scene? How do I link the scenes together?
I'm trying to create a portfolio website, and I want my picture strip to move in and then become buttons. I have made them buttons, but once the strip stops moving I keep getting this message.
i am making a scroller and need to have it so that when you hover on the up or down buttons, then it will keep moving the designated layer up or down. right now the event handler i am usiing (onRollOver) doesnt really work right because it only moves one pixel, then you need to roll off and roll back on.... i am thinking there must be some do... while statement for the rollover action but i cant find it...
I have a main MovieClip in which I have several frame labels, each will eventually have different MovieClips associated with them. First time through I want to play an "intro" MovieClip, which I have placed on the stage at the begining of the main timeline, then at the end of the "intro" Clip, go to the first frame label and play that MovieClip.
The way I was going about it was placing this code in the last frame of the "intro" MovieClip:
Code:
MovieClip(parent).screen_mc.gotoAndPlay("home");
'screen_mc' is the instance name of the Main MovieClip.
Im currently making a game that has one of those old-skool Fallout maps (a world map where you click somewhere and the "you" marker moves there) that im trying to replicate.I already have the scripts ready for map interaction (using onhit here). But i was wondering if someone could help me with a script that works this way:
1. I have a movieclip (the character)
2. When i click somewhere on the map i want this movieclip to move there. Not instantly but moving over the screen to that point where you clicked.
3. I also want there to be passages that when the movieclip hit that movieclip (named hit for example) it stops dead and doesn't move (will be used on the map for mountains and such) and the player has to click somewhere else to move it that path (im assuming this will be something like onhit: hit - speed=0 something but im not a good scripter and it would had to be worked into the script.
4. ok this one is kinda optional but would be great! If it's possible to have it worked in the script that when the clip doesn't move (and is stationary on the map) the movieclip stays on frame 1 but when the movieclip is in motion (and moving across the screen) the movieclip is on frame 2 (and reverts to frame 1 when it's not moving anymore and so no)
I have a movieclip that I want to move down and up.I use a new tween using the Elastic. easeOut property to move the movieclip down over a duration of 2 seconds.But right after it moves down I need to move it right back up so it looks like a uniform animation.I used setInterval(reverse,2000) and reverse contains yoyo();This almost works.Since Elastic slows down the movement of the movieclip at the very end, there seems to be a pause between the movieclip moving down and the movieclip moving up.It does not give the impression that it is 1 tween, which is what I was going for.I tried to set the duration to less than 2 seconds, but then Elastic property is not 'stretchy'.It is too fast and comes to a halt, not elastic, and then the reverse (when the movieclip goes back up) is much faster than when the movieclip goes down.Is it possible to move the movieclip down AND up by using just 1 "new tween" function?

how to make the scroll/list menu in 2advanced's portfolio section, it can be found here [URL]
I kinda had a idea on how to make it , by using a mask and movie clip which holds the buttons, and then just use the up and down buttons to move the movie clip up and down, but dnt really know how to really do this.
basically want to know how to move a Movie clip up and down when a up or down button is pressed with restriction to how much i can move it up and down,
I have a movieclip that I am moving behind a mask to achieve a panning effect. I am able to move my movie clip onRollOver and stop onRollOut. So far so good, except that I have no boundaries or margins on my movie clip so when I keep my mouse on my button, my movieclip continues to move indefinitely forever. Can someone please tell me how to set boundaries on the left and right or how to limit the scrolling to an X -1000 and X +1000?
Basically I need to have a cartoon character walking to the right hand side of the screen and then turning around and moving back to the left hand side and so on. I have some code done but it could be all wrong as I am not the best coder at all, just starting out.
Code: package classes{ import flash.display.MovieClip; import classes.RollableChar; public class MainApp2 extends MovieClip{ //public var theCharacter:MovieClip; //public var myCarrot:RollableChar; [Code] .....
I'm exploring menu's in flash and I'm currently trying to put together a thumbnail menu where thumbnails are contained in a Parent MovieClip.I want to then be able to move that movieclip along the stage (to the left or right, depending on the keyboard key pressed)..I know I can do this using this code, when the Parent MovieClip
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, myKeyDown);function myKeyDown (e:KeyboardEvent):void{ if (e.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT){my_mc.x -=125; }
