I've been working creating an interactive display map for a client. I've figured out the controls I'd like to use for moving the map, but I'm having trouble with the zooming features.
What I'd like to do is have the user click on the "+" button to zoom in and the "-" button to zoom out. The problem is the map is not centered when the user clicks either button?
Any ideas how I can fix this, or improve it?
i am completely new to the whole aspect of flash and dreamweaver etc. and have recently been given a project of editing an interactive CD rom which was produced for a client by an outside company.
I have managed to grab the basics of changing the text and the images and stuff, but when i export it as a .swf flash movie, when i view the cd, all of the slides come on in very quick succession,it is supposed to be the first slide and then you click on a "next" button for each other slide,i know i've messed with the interactive elements somehow but i don't know how, or how to fix them as i haven't got a clue about the interactive aspects to flash.
I want to create more than one button instance that go to different URL address's. From the Adobe Video Workshop, I got the code:
[Code]....
I get 1021 duplicate function error. I think I understand in priciple what's wrong but don't know how to fix it. MyI knowledge of Action Script 3 is zero. What I need is sample code that works that I could copy and paste, with appropriate changes.
I have something in mind like this: [URL] so each time, when the mouse is over each state, different information should show up in the right side box with different information. How should I implement this? should I draw the right side information box as picture, and then write a script to ask information to display when mouse is on certain state, is this a movie clip?
View 6 RepliesI need to create flash interactive animation for one one of my regular clients, which should look and work similar to example in Nike store Customize:LinkThis is how my clients product (shirt) should look like and what sections should be editable: [URL]Basically it should work this way:1. End user chooses some element of shirt which he would like to edit (for example collar)2. When he clicks on that element, popup windows shows offering two main options: to change color and graphic (texture or pattern), same as on nike store customize example3. After user changes one section (collar) he goes to other section (lets say sleeve) and so on4.
User should be able to zoom in or zoom out that shirt and also if it is possible to rotate it in 4-5 positions5. At the end it should be able to save that work (and load it if he wants to later ) and be able to print it.I have made many animations, games, banners and similar using Macromedia Flash MX and Adobe Flash so I am not a flash newbie but this is a first time I am dealing with this type of work. I know that there is no step by step tutorial for this kind of custom interactive animation but I need some help and and advice how to create these three first steps (1. 2. 3). Regarding steps (4.) and (5.) I think I could realize it (zoom in, zoom out, rotate movieclip, save in database and print screen), because I ahd some previous experince regarding this part.
I am creating a project which involves the visualisation of signals and timeline, so I am looking for a charting program which allows me to zoom in and zoom out and with additional functionality e.g. drag and drop or highlight the area.
I have no preference whether it should be WinForms or Web apps, and I am fine to program in either Flash or Silverlight. So I would like to see if you guys can recommend some tools for use.
I'm looking to display some data in the form of charts (line graphs, pie charts etc). I also require them to have a certain amount of interactivity (pan, zoom etc.).
For these requirements, will Adobe Flex be enough for me, or would I need to use flash?
A little research told me that building charts in Flex is easy, but can they be made interactive without using Flash?
I am a member of a clan on a popular gaming website. I'd like to make fully interactive flash videos detailing certain game concepts. Is it possible to do this with screenshots (there are some drop down menus) or would I have to remodel the website in Flash?Basically, I'd like to know how to make it so I can tell the user to click a certain link and take a certain step, we've all seen those types of interactive tutorials.
View 0 RepliesI have a website which i have built and work on alot, and i would like to create a sort of interactive map (the site is a surf webcam site, and i would love this map to be of the uk, and when you click on certain areas, it zooms in in a sort of google earth type thing, then showing locations of my cameras which the users can click to go to the correct page.) Now I did make something like this ( without the spinny stuff) using jquery and hiding divs etc, but I think to get the best effect would be to make some sort of flash applet. Now I am a complete begineer with flash.
View 1 RepliesWhat I try to make in Flash is some kind of interactive slideshow, with .swf files instead of static images. I want to have kind of control pannel with buttons numbered from 1 to n, always visible at the front layer. In the background, there will be swf files that change, for example, every 30 seconds. And each change consists of fade in and fade out effect of the swf container (and so the loaded swf file itself). During the swf changes, the buttons should change too by switching their states from 0 to 1 and so on. User should be able to skip to any frame he wants by clicking the corresponding button.This is the code I already have:
Code:
// Preparation
button1_mc.framenumber_txt.text = "1";

For the last couple of weeks, i've been trying to develope an interactive yearbook for my school. Im using an external XML, and trying to push all the data in the xml to assigned arrays. Also im trying to use a for loop to create empty movie clips. This empty clips will serve as "pages" if the total number of students is greater than 25. Also, on these pages im trying to attachMovie to a specific x, and Y, as you'll see in my source code.
Other than that, i can not figure out where im going wrong.When i first try to publish it, it gives me an error saying that the path is undefined, and will not load ANYTHING. if i make a few changes, it just sits there blanky.

I am currently working on a map of the US that is interactive. My goal is to be able to mouse over the states and have them turn red and then a window with contact information will open at your mouse when clicked. I am running into a few problems. I dont know the process for creating a color tween for my movieclips. my solution was to make a copy of the states, color them red and place them behind the gray ones and attatch an event listener to all the states that lowers their alpha when moused over. thats not really the problem though. for my code that i have used to call in the window is as follows. I will use texas as an example.

View 1 RepliesI'm new to Actionscript 3.0 and I want to create an interactive menu. On the left as I hover over the button "products" I want a sub menu to come into view (as seen in the graphic below). I've created all the graphics but there are a lot of translation issues.
Here is the code I've used:

var startY:Number = productsSub_mc._DisplayObject.y;
var myTween:Tween;
var myTween2:Tween;

"productsSub_mc" is the sub menu I created as a movie clip. Within that movie clip is another button labeled "videos". When I run the preview, I get the following error:

I am fairly new to FMS and really am trying to learn about it. My question is simple I hope;
I would like a message to pop up to a client when they connect that the max users has been reached. I have it set for 5 users and so I would like when the 6th user tries to connect to watch the video, a little box will pop up and say "Sorry, Max users has been reached. Please try again in a few minutes."
I was able to develop something and get it output through trace commands by following a tutorial I saw online, but I could never get any sort of message box I built to pop up.
I am in the process of creating a Flash widget for a client. I am an accomplished Flash designer, but this particular project has got me stumped! The client absolutely loves the concept, but the current approach that I have taken just isn't practical. I have used Swift3D to produce the animated squares manually, and then pieced them together in Flash. This is fine for 6 squares, but the client wants the image to be divided up into about 100 squares, which translates into a lot of manual work! In addition, the SWF file is going to get very big very quickly due to all the frames needed for each square. Lastly, the client wants the option to change the images used at a later date, which simply isn't an option at the moment without starting from scratch.
I cannot think of an easy way around the above problems other than producing the animation at run time, which is what I am trying to do now. However, I can't think where to start! Ideally, there would be two JPGs which Flash would carve up into squares and animate itself but this is really pushing my abilities.
I am creating an interactive animation of a cat you can stroke, rub, poke etc. I have implemented some basic functions in an attempt to recognize the different gestures, I am using the mouse down and mouse up events to track the duration and distance of the click.
My problem with this is that the 'distance' is measured from the start point and end point of the click, so if it ends near where it started you won't be able to tell how many times the click has 'rubbed' back and forth. Is there anyway to track the distance based on the full path of the click?

I am working on a project where I need an interactive matrix of 500x500 clickable lements. I thought this would be an easy task in actionscript3 but boy was I wrong. was able to create a matrix where each element was a Sprite object with attached Mouse click event. But here the performance problems begin. FlashPlayer10 can handle up to 100x100 matrix, but when I increase my matrix I start getting script timeout in browser player... Here is how my "unfinished" matrix looks like.
So how should I approach this problem? I was hoping flash will be able to handle so many elements, but I guess I was wrong. I want to have a pan control to pan around for objects off screen and of course zoom in/out control.It's true I'm not very professional in Flahs and actionscript but a friend who is told me this would be no problem implementing in AS3? I need this in flash as the thing needs to be hosted on website (unless there is a better tool for doing something like this...).

View 1 RepliesI have 12 display monitors installed in different floors in a building. These monitors display announcements that will be update once in a day. I'm retrieving these announcements from db and storing in an array and displaying it all day long. In addition to this, I have a requirement to display emergency alert messages on the monitors. My Server is a windows 2000 server. I'm using asp for creating the JSON object.
For the emergency alert I am thinking of doing this:
Create a page in asp that lets user to enter emergency msg and save to db.
Create a page in asp that will check if there an emergency msg in db and show it in a asp page in json.
Create a timer that pings this json page every 1 second. If it's available then show it.
Is there any other sophisticated method available to poll the server or to send messages from server to client?
We're building a web-based application that requires heavy image processing. We'd like this processing load to be on the client as much as possible and we'd like to support as much platforms (even mobiles) as much as possible. Here's the info: Image processing is rasterization from some data. Think like creating a PNG image from a PDF file. We don't have a lot of server power. So client-side processing is a bit of a must.
So, we're considering: Flash - most widespread, but from what i read has lackluster development tools. (and no iPhone/iPad support for now). Silverlight - allows us to use .NET CLR, so a big ++ (a lot of code is in .NET). But is not supported for most mobiles ( rumored android support in the future) HTML5 + Javascript - probably the most "portable" option. The problem is having to rewrite all that image processing code in Javascript.
Clarification: I don't need further ideas on what libraries are available for Silverlight and Javascript. My dilemma is choosing Silverlight means no support for most mobiles choosing Flash means we have to redevelop most of our code AND no iPhone/iPad support HTML5 + Javascript we have to redevelop most of our code and not fully supported yet in all browsers choosing two (Silverlight + Flash) will be too costly Any out-of-the-box or bright ideas / alternatives
