ActionScript 2.0 :: Moving A Movieclip Set Increments With Buttons
Jan 29, 2008
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:

I was wondering if there is a way to adapt this code I am using on a button.[code]This code works fine on the button and moves the movieclip each time the button is pressed by the viewer. My problem is, I would like the viewer to be able to just hold the button down and the movieclip would constantly apply the _y -=4.Is it possible to adapt this script to make it constantly move while the viewer holds down the button? As it stands now, it only moves once when the viewer clicks the button. So in order to move the movieclip 8 pixels, the viewer would have to click the button twice.

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 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 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.

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?

which works great except that it scrolls the whole thing all at once. Is it possible to put some kind of increment in there so that on a key press it only moves a certain amout of pixels?

Not sure what to call this. I want a function to fire at a certain increment of a given var number, without having to say if (var >= 1000 && <= 2000 || var > = 2000 && <=5500){ etc etc etc. for example I want it to fire when it gets past 1000, then fire again when it gets past 2400 so on, and so fourth. To make matters more clear, im trying to make player experience that launches the level up screen at the given numbers ^^ I dont even know where to begin with how to do this, is it an array function?

I have recently started a new project, again and hit a stump. Im trying to make a mini game where you have to press two alternating buttons (x and z) to increment the bar. Now i started it, but it failed as pressing any button really fast incremented the bar. i used a _root.onEnterFrame = function() { code, but im having troubles. So what i want to do is have the user press the x button, and then have to press the y button and the bar increases and they have to do this rapidly.

I have this prototype function:
[AS]
MovieClip.prototype.moveRight = function() {
// when it enters the frame
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
oldx = newx;
// if timelineMC._x less than or equal to howFarRight
if (timeline._x<=howFarRight) {
[Code] .....
Which works great except that it scrolls the whole thing all at once. Is it possible to put some kind of increment in there so that on a key press it only moves a certain amount of pixels?

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:
Code: Select allconst PANWIDTH:Number=10061
const STAGEWIDTH:Number=650
const KEYWIDTH:Number=40

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...

I am currently working on a picture slide show tutorial and i fully understand whats going on, except when a variable that gets placed outside a "for" loop that gets used within the "for" loop to create multiple loaders. Secondly, i would of though the newLoader function would of needed a different variable everytime the loop increments? I know i'm so incorrect but I was hoping someone would straighten me out on it here is the code too

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'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].
Code:
on(press){
_root.nFlag = true
}on(release){
_root.nFlag = false
}
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 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...

EDIT: What do I need to write in AS3 to make a dynamic text field increase in increments of 1 if the user hovers at the upper half of the screen, and decrease in increments of 1 if the user hovers at the lower half of the screen?Purpose, it isn't a game.
What I have right now isn't actually doing any of those things, I've just been mucking about trying to get all the masks working and they finally are.
I've included the code to offer as much information as possible about my specific project. There is also a few more lines that changes the colour of the dial when the user rolls over the specific coloured bars. I can post that as well if it helps.
To clarify the scene, the arrow part of the dial tracks the user's mouse. Always pointing towards it. The bars, when rolled over changes the colour of said dial. The "73M" is static, as well is "POINTS" but the 380 value is dynamic. It is that string I need to affect.
If anything is unclear please feel free to ask, I've been at this all night so there is a chance I'm so into it that I can't see straight.
