ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating A Simple Mc Rollover Function?
Aug 28, 2006
basically i have a mc that i want to use as a button.
frame 1 is the initial state with a stop() action on it. frame 10 is the full rolled over state, also with a stop() action on it, and frame 20 matches frame 1.
so basically i want the button to animate frame 1-10 if they rollover, and animate frame 11-20 when they roll off. i would also like it to detect the current frame, so like if the user rolls off and rolls back on at frame 15, it will play backwards to the mouseover state (frame 10).
I am trying to index a series of movie clips with their own unique index number for accessing through AS3. The example below is what I would like to achieve, when a user clicks on Topic1, I can trace back the index of 1, when a user clicks on Topic2, I can trace back an index of 6:
Okay, now things are getting a little complicated. I need to build a Flash object that can sit over the corner of an image to serve extra content. It's way beyond my Flash skill level, my work is usually limited to print work in Photoshop and Illustrator so please excuse me if any of the following isn't clear. I am trying to learn though, So this is how it's all supposed to work, along with my issues; When the image & Flash item load a small looping animation will play to draw the eye/show the item as interactive.
When the user rolls over this the corner will peelback. I have a working peelback animation for the rollover, that reacts to mouse over/mouse off, and a looping animation for the initial, but I cannot work out how to make the initial loop until mouseover, then play the peelback when the mouse is over. And go back to the initial animation loop if the user rolls off. (Each of these animations is stored as a movie clip in the Library) Then it gets more complicated... if the user stays on the corner until it is fully peeled back I need to make a small countdown (sort of a 3, 2, 1 situation) show, before launching a lightbox (would this have to be jQuery, or could it be done in Flash?) in the browser to serve the content.
How do I do a onRollOver detect without using the onRollOver function?I have a movieclip and when it's rolled over I have it zooming using the AS2 tween function.In that movieclip there's a form with fields, and if I use the onRollOver function on the movieclip to zoom, the whole movieclip becomes a button thus preventing any input into the form fields. Is there an alternative I can use?
I'm an AS2 guy finally being drug into the AS3 world and finding it difficult.I just want to make a simple rollover effect.[code]I noticed the first line in the code, do I have to import something? Either way my text in the button doesn't move when I rollover. It moves upon render but then it stops.URl...
I have a simple invisible button over to animations, based on thisThe button is telling onRollover to play frame name, thus playing the animation. and on onRollout it plays another thread.However, once all that is finished it doesn't work properly. Its like the first time you use it, as you roll over works fine and as you roll out fine. However, when you roll over again nothing happens until you come out and it gets all muddled.
trying to do a simple rollover colour transition in Actionscript 3, and I'm getting ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property transform not found on
fl.transitions.Tween and there is no default value. at dell_fla::MainTimeline/tweenToFinal() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()[CODE].....
I am trying to create a simple pie chart that has rollover states, and when clicked brings up a first column of text, then when a field is clicked brings up a second column and then a third. There will be around 100 different text fields show up. Now at this stage I have about 40 functions setup and about 25 event listeners and I havent even started on the text fields yet.
My question is do I need to continually write new functions for text to appear, then a second to disappear and trigger the next filed OR is this what Variables are for?
I think this sounds very confusing so I have attached the file. Please help as I have a crazy deadline on this and simply can't work it out, unless I continue on my road of endless functions.
I am new to actionscripts and I'm having some difficulty. I am creating a website that teaches kids about the about the brain and I am creating a website very familiar to this one, http:[url].......
So far I know how to draw and call a simple movie clip such as what you see below. What I am trying to do is create the features that you see on the above website.I'll try to explain as best as possible what I have done so far:I created one flash file and drew the background for where the text will display. Next I created several movie clips for each of the brain parts and I placed an invisible button over each of these movies.For example I told the button,"cerebellum_button" to play the movie "cerebellum_mc" and told it to go to the"turnon" label."Once it stopped at the label "turnoff" it displayed the text to explain what the cerebellum does.
I feel that my code is redundant because I�m having to create a button for each animated movie clip and in each on of the movie clips I have text that will display. It seems to me that I can somehow create text for all of the movie clips in one centralized location and call each one of those text by using labels. Is there a way that I can centralize all of the text then call it? My aim is to have the user roll over the brain part, have it animate, and have it display the text to explain what that brain part does.I have one invisable
button and one animated movie that includes text. cerebellum_button.onRollOver = function(){ cerebellum_mc.gotoAndStop("turnon");[cod].....
I'm trying to create a simple interactive animation for a website that consists of three rollover areas on a page. When you mouse over an area, a bit of explanatory text is revealed by animating a mask over some text. The text is left displayed until a mouseover of a different area occurs.Let's call the three mouseover targets A, B, and C.A MOUSE_OVER event listener is registered for all three targets. In the event handler for each, I'm following a pattern like this:
Draw a rectangle using the rectangle tool; select the text tool and create a text box inside of the rectangle, and type in BEGIN; make sure it fits inside the rectangle; select entire image by left clicking then dragging over it; convert to symbol button.
Then, I add in the code of going to keyframe 4 when released (which works fine). But when I test it out and mouse over the button, I can still select the text which gives me like barely any space where I can click the button to go to keyframe 4. This is reeaaallly annoying me. How can I fix this?
This used to be so easy to do back in the day, but not any more. I'm trying to create a reeaaally simple button in Flash CS3 that on release goes to and plays the next frame.[code]All the button does is starts an mp3 that's embedded in the file. I've made tons of these in the past, but now with CS3 I'm finding this task very difficult. The code is in the button instance, but I'm getting the following error when I publish.
I'm trying to create a scale in and out roll-over that's nice and smooth. I have had a fiddle with the scaleX and scaleY, but can't make it transition from original to enlarged size and back again smoothly..
am trying to find a way to display an image (a shelf with various pieces of art.) I want each piece to be a link where the user can click on it, and it will pop up in a new window, or an area below the main image where it will show a larger, up-close view, with details, such as price, meanings, ect.
I'm sort of new to Flash, have been using it for ages but just to animate, i haven't done any programming or interactive stuff for years, so i feel new to it again!Creating a very simple platform.Movie clip of the character (instance name z_1)- runs button - when pressed makes z_1 invisible and loads another movieclip of him firing a weapon (z_fire). (also makes ground stop moving- basically game is a static running animation, over a moving ground, if that makes sense)This all works fine, i even figured how to make the score increase!After the firing animation is finished (there is a stop on the movieclip) i want the original running animation to be visible again and for the ground etc to play again. The firing animation is only 12 frames long so i imagine i need to tell the button to resume normal service on the stage after that time period![code]It's probably completely wrong but it works, i just need to know the extra code to make the original animations start back again after z_fire has played.
Was just wondering that tool do i need (an open source tool) to create a very simple table with a blinking light on an image and turn that into an .exe?
I've been trying to create a simple text animation using XML and AS3 that I would like to run similar to the swf I've attached with this post. I've tried to look for tutorials similar to this that I can follow but I haven't found anything yet.I can get the xml to load up but I haven't been able to get the name to animate separately. The xml is structured like so.[code]
I have made a flash site that contains a lot of buttons that loads imported swfs. Now, I want to create a simple back button by using variables.
An example: The visitor clicks on the contact button which loads the contact.swf Then, the visitor clicks on the About us button which loads the aboutus.swf. Now, the visitor wants to go back to to the contact page and hit the back button inside the About us page.
The code for loading the pages looks like this:
on (release) { _root.section = "nameofthepage.swf"; _root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing"); }
Now I want this to happen: When the visitor clicks on the contact button a variable is saved named "contact" and then inserts "contact" in the code of the back button. Something like this:
on (release) { _root.section = "insert the name of the current variable name.swf"; _root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing"); }
So I have a window that slides in when its rolled over. It goes back to its origin when the user rolls off the window. Now within that window I have a scroll feature taht creates a conflict with the window actions when the user tries to use the scrollbar elements. I want the window to stay open, while the user is scrolling and i want the window to close when the user rolls off the window.
It could be easier to have the user click the window open/closed...but I was wondering if there is a way I could keep my original vision...here is what i wrote for the window code:
I'm doing a simple commercial animation for school and it is about raising gas prices.I wanted to animate numbers rising but can't find ANYTHING close to what i need
I am having serious problems with creating a simple navigate to URL in Flash CS3. The code I have is:
[Code]...
I have put this in the first timeline in my movie. When I "check syntax" everything seems great. But when I publish as AS3 I recieve the following error:
The documentation for FMIS is in my mind poor. All I want is to display a videostream from my server in an swf. I've manage to display the file using http or local but rtmp seems to be another ballgame. The file play using rtmp using jwplayer. So far I have this code:
I'm just moving from programming in Flash to Flex.
I want to create a simple gallery which is loaded with locally stored FLV short clips. I know how to create a text/image gallery, but I wasn't able to put the VideoDisplay component in the List control.
The final result should be a gallery with videos playing while the cursor is on top of them.
The website has 5 main-menu items called : Home / Speellijst / Van toen tot nu / media / contact / . a preview of the project can be visited here : [URL]
So when someone clicks "Van toen tot nu" (= an item about her past theatre plays), it displays a new menu that holds chronological buttons. Once someone cliks one of those, an extra element should show that displays info.
So in the element holding all the buttons on frame one AS says:
robbieknop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,robtx t); function robtxt(event:MouseEvent):void { root.toenclip.gotoAndPlay(2); }
EXTA INFO: * the 1st button has the instance name : 'robbieknop'
* a clip that holds the info on each frame seperatly has the name : 'toenclip'
* 'toenclip' has an empty 1st frame, the 2nd holds the info that should display while pushing the instance 'robbieknop'
* 'toenclip' is present on stage when 'van Toen tot nu' has been loaded, it is invisible (empty frame)
So far I can't get it to work, I don't get any error messages and everything else displays 'according to plan'
I'm trying to create a simple fading RSS reader. I'm using PHP to create an XML document. Then I'm calling the XML into Flash using the following code.
ActionScript Code: function postXML (loaded){ if (loaded){ postNode = this.firstChild; newsID = []; newsHeadline = []; [Code] .....
I display this information in a movieclip that has several dynamic textfields. My problem is this. PHP calls the information in descending order. I want the most recent post to display first, that's why I do it that way. How can I reverse cycle through the nodes. There will be five. I'd like to use the id attribute as the reference to cycle through the nodes. I'd also like there to be a 15 second delay for each slide. I guess I'm basically creating a text slideshow. 15 seconds with an option to pause.
