I made a thumbnails slide, works great, but here the questions. I need the thumbnails to navigation on my home page .. ( go the next page 1.2.3 etc.)
Script code on the thumbnails:
on(release){
photosMC.gotoAndPlay("img2h")
}
I am using the following code for my Navigation in a FLash CS4 file:
stop ();
function buttons(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(event.target.name);
}
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
services.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
It works great when I am on the home page, but stops working once I navigate to any of the other pages. I have an Actions layer and that layer extends the full length of all pages/frames of the timeline.
I have the frames labeled as such: home, services, about, and contact. (All are "Type:Name")
each button is named as such: home/ instance of "home", services/instance of "services", etc.
i always see some fancy/complex/elements got random motion: flash home page navigation, such as [URL] I just wondering is it very complex/hard to make one? & How can a newbi, like me get started to make one? does it involve complex/advanced actionscript?

View 2 RepliesSo I am doing a flash intro page, but the intro becomes the home page, as in all the pieces come together to create the Flash home page, so that there is just one file for the home page that includes the intro from Flash..how do I make it so that all the parts on the page stay there indefinitely, because right now after a certain amount of time, they disappear due to using the timeline in Flash.
View 4 RepliesI have a project for a site that sells fishing lures.I want to have an animated index page before moving on to the home page. My idea is to have a boat sitting on a pond fishing lines in the water, when a fish jumps out of the water, the water ripples, the next time you see the fish it's got a hook in it mouth and jumping out of the water.how do I go about it? How to I create the water rippling? I think with the fish I can do easily enough with it jumping on and off stage. Would I do the water with shape tweens?
View 1 RepliesHow can I create a simple sliding viewer that horizontally scrolls through thumbnail images without using XML? I read thru the Kirupa tutorial for loading the thumbnails, and it worked perfectly. However, when you click on a thumbnail, I need it to launch an HTML page in a separate window. (This is a bit more complicated than if it only needed to load an enlarged version of the thumbnail in a separate movie clip.)
View 1 RepliesI am customizing the Photo slide show with thumbnails from this site. It is great. I was able to customize it so it would work with bigger pics (640 width X 480 height) basically wider pics then they are tall, but I also have pics that are taller then they are wide (480 height X 640 width).
1. in the thumbnail area the taller pics load over top of the pic before it and then there is a large gap after it.
2. the movie clip that loads the full size image aligns the pics to the upper left corner of the movie clip. I would like it to center the taller pic. I know I will have the same problem with the wider pics when I make the viewing area 640x640 they will look to high.
here is the code that is used:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];

View 2 RepliesI have an animated logo swf file that loads and runs once on the home page every time the page loads. The logo has been updated to appear in three different colour schemes. I want one scheme to load and when the page is refreshed or revisited, one of the other colour schemes to load in its place. They can appear in any random order, just a different one to the one that played before reloading.Can someone point me to an answer or tell me how to do it? I have found a way in JavaScript but this only works on plain images, not swf files.
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to create a simple slide gallery with one main canvas + thumbnails.Usually the main canvas has auto slide feature.Users can choose the picture on main canvas from thumbnails.When the mouse is over thumbnails I want Canvas to stop auto slide show until that mouse is outside of thumbnails.So I start creating this, and I finish coding for auto slide show and choosing picture from thumbnails. Now I need to code if the mouse is on the thumbnail then temporary stop auto slide show.I thought the right way is to write the code like this,[code]but when I do this, the timer won't stop.
View 2 RepliesWhat is the easiest way (for Fash novice) to navigate back and forth between the slides of presentation made with Flash Slide Presentation feature. Each slide contains animation and plays well the first time but when if I want to back to a slide, it would only show the last frame of that slidI tried many things including making buttons for back and forth and managed to make buttons that fade when you pan over them (big accomplishment:) but can't get them to actually do stuff for me, like go forward and backward. I tried to assign to the button's frame "UP" thee following script but it doesn't work:
onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT)
gotoAndPlay (_currentframe-1)

I am trying to create a flash headline gallery animation for a web site and I am having a bit of trouble. I am trying to get something similar to what you see on many websites today. Example 49er website ( [URL].. Typically the animation starts with one headline for a story "Click here to learn more" . After 7 seconds or so it goes to the next.I want mine to utilize the horizontal sliding effect between stories. underneath the stories are several buttons for navigating to a specific headline.
Many example sites i've seen use javascript or something else, but i was attempting to use Flash. I borrowed some code from a tutorial and I have some of it done. I have the button nav working, and the headlines slide horizontally when clicked. What i can't seem to add to this is the auto-play, wait 7 seconds then go to the next.
There is always really cool special fx on the kirupa home page banner. But I can never find out where I can find FLA's with them. Can someone give me a link to where I might be able to find them...If not. This would be a perfect place to put banner ef ex. So post them if you have them!

View 1 RepliesI have 10 buttons for various pages on a website I am building. I am only dealing with the first 2 buttons so far: home and about (laborLaw). On my about page, I wanted to have buttons to navigate to another frame where the viewer can Read More Details. In order to get my button to work, I had to type about_mc. before the event listener of that button. Here's the code that worked.
about_mc.laborLaw1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, laborLaw1);
function laborLaw1(evtObj:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndStop("laborLaw1_fl"); }
So I am now able to navigate to frames from buttons inside the mc. My next task was to build a close button to navigate back to the about page from the "Read More Details" page on a 101. Here's the code I used on frame 101:
(stop);
// the following is to navigate back to "about" (Labor Page)
closeLabor1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, returnLabor);
function returnLabor(evtObj:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("about");
}
That worked great BUT, once I navigate BACK to the about page using the closeLabor1 button, I am no longer able to navigate to any other button such as the home button. Here's a video showing exactly what happens. [URL]

I am not a specialist with flash, but I have read that classical getURL code does not work in AS3.
I am an html/css programmer and don't know much about Flash. I've just been asked to update this site which has many Flash elements. I just dissected the site but can't figure out where the slideshow is coming from on the home.html page. I opened the index.swf object and there are no images just a background. I believe the original designer used Flashbox for the slideshow and Flash as the backdrop? I think I have the other galleries (click View Rings portfolio or another portfilio) figured out.
It looks like it's pulling in a Flash file and the Flash file is pulling in images for the slideshow (at the bottom) from the images.xml file. I opened the Flash file (image gallery.swf) and the full pop up -- background and large photo and slideshow -- are included in the .swf file unlike the index.swf file. Am I correct? Not sure if a Flash file would pull in images from an images.xml file. How do I edit the Flash file if it's not pulling the images from the images.xml file? When I open the file it just shows me the .swf file in design view.Is this over my head and should I hire someone with Flash and Flashbox experience?
Is it possible to create an xml slideshow that runs .swf files for my home page?and does anyone know where to find some good tutorial on creating xml slideshows that run the .swf files.
