I have a menu with 4 buttons, once clicked each button sends you to its corresponding section (frame label). Each section has a different loading animation. Once in a section I would like to go to another but before this that section's specific transition animation must play. Now I've looked around and all I can find is how to do this with a universal transition animation.
View 3 RepliesI have a button that I would like to use with the basic actionscript as follows:
on (release) {
this.gotoAndPlay("15");
}
What I would like it to do is play a section on the timeline and then move onto another section or scene.
[Code]....
I know this is incorrect, so would anyone know how to write an actionscript button that plays a section then goes somewhere else?
on [URL] what is the word 'section' in _root.section? I assume it is a movie clip instance, but can't seem to find it on the timeline.

how to cut out a section of a photo use for flash?
For an example I am trying to build a script where a user can change the color of a roof of a house. So If I take a picture how do I trace it or draw it where I can then make copies of it in different colors for people to pick a color and then make an action where the roof will change to that selected color.
I have a function that loads and XML file. Which populates a scrollbar with images. I have three sections in my application Education, Hospital and Retail. The images being loaded differ in these 3 sections only by there placement. So for example, in education the image order is 1, 2, 3. For Hospital the image order needs to be 3,1,2 and of course Retail is say is 2,3,1. I might add that more then 20 images are being loaded and it is only the first 3 that need shuffled.
I want to use the same XML file for each section. Rather than duplicated the code 3 times and write 3 different XML files, can I move the images to the correct position say using a if statement like if(education == true); then image order = this; or if(hospital == true); then image order = this. Does that make sense? Is that even doable?

View 8 RepliesI am going to redesign a website and for that website I want there to be a news section on the homepage. The news section should be built in Flash with images representing news headlines animating on a loop however a user should be able to click one of these images and then within the homepage a Flash pop up will appear with the news article. This is similar to sites that have an image gallery with thumbnails of images but when an thumbnail is clicked then the full size image loads within the same webpage. I want a similar effect but in my case, when a full size image is clicked, a text based news article loads.

I'm currently building a very basic flash application and i'm having trouble with one section of it. In this section I have an input box where the user enters their name and clicks an 'Enter' button. Clicking this button will take the user to the next section where I want their name to appear in a dynamic text box.The application works as far as getting to the next section but it doesn't display any input text in the output text box in the next section.

i have video playing on the stage.. there is a sprite called _rect that is moving around the screen when it finds a face in the video.. that part works great.. but what i want to do is capture the face the _rect is currently over, from the video underneath and draw it into a bitmap,, but it keeps just drawing the upper left corner of the video..what i want is if the _rect has an x of 300 and a y of 300 and its dimensions are lets say 200x200hen the bitmap it draws from the video is 200x200 but starting from x:300 and y:300.. but like i said..o matter where the _rect is located it keeps drawing from 0,0.
Code: Select allvar myBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(rect.width,rect.height,false);
var clipArea:Rectangle = new Rectangle(rect.x,rect.y,rect.width,rect.height);
var myBitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapData);

View 2 RepliesI am working on my personal site and have got stuck on how to control the variables in the photography section.I have 20 buttons on the screen that all tell a main movie which picture to fade in and out of. Each button has this variable attached to it "_root.content = 01" and 02 and so on.
When the button is pressed it tells the main movie to play the fade out then check the variable, then tells the movie which bit to play next - If _root.content == 01, goto and play content image 1 - Now I want to add next and previous buttons that add or remove a number from that variable - when released, _root.content == current +1 - to move to the next image.

View 4 Repliesnow i've divided my scene with frames labeled. say: at frame 1, it's my about section. At frame 20, its my photo section, etc. on the same scene, i've created my menu to navigate to these sections. each button calls a frame label, and the proper ainmation happens, and then, you're in the section you chose. NOW... (i have a feeling i should of thought about that earlier...) i'm trying to figure out a way to tell my button to be unclickable (and hightlighted) while you're in its section, until you leave that section. i know that my site is probably NOT constructed the way it should be. but starting over isnt really an option, since i have a deadline...
