ActionScript 2.0 :: Horizontal Menu Fade In And Out On Rollover
Apr 4, 2004
i have this menu that gets the number of buttons and subbuttons depending on the xml file. it attaches the buttons to an empty movie click. the same's happening to the subbuttons - they get attached to a different empty mc. everything works fine there. My question is how do make the subbutons in that mc to fade in on rollOver of a button one by one and then fade out again one by one on rollOut. I will probably need to set up some sort of a loop. just having a hard time on where to start. here are the fla and the xml files. [edit]bump..why can't we upload fla's anymore?
I'm designing a site for a friend and I have a menu bar across the top with 6 buttons. I made your basic rollover with CSS, but now I'm asked if something can be done about the abrupt change from the down state to the rollover state. Not knowing much at all about Flash, I thought this would be pretty simple and a good way to get acquainted with the program. But after spending hours today rummaging through Google I'm considering digging my eyes out with a spoon. It seems that no tutorial quite tells me what I need to do, and when I try to adapt what I'm told to what I need, it all stops working. There seems to be a dozen different ways to do the same thing and now I'm just really confused. So here is what I need:
When you mouse over the button, it quickly transitions/fades into the highlight/rollover image. When you move the cursor away, it fades back to normal. And *possibly* a quick transition to another highlight on click.
I located the following Actionscript 3.0 Class which performs the task of horizontally scrolling a picture in a continuous loop. Once it reaches the end of the picture, it then immediately starts over from the beginning of the picture. I am interested in making it so the picture fades in, scroll horizontally and then when it reachs the end of the picture, it fades out... It would then fade back in after a period of time and begin the process again of scrolling horizontally... Continuous loop. adding those features to this Actionscript 3.0 Class?
Does anyone know how to do this rollOver effect? [URL] Enter flash site and look at the rollOver buttons. I have the bar moving over each button but can't get it to fade out.
I'm recreating an xml menu inspired by [URL]... How to change the menu to a horizontal menu with the same submenu animated dropdowns... so basically, I need the main categories to go accross the top and the rest work the same.
I have been working on a horizontal AS3 draggable menu for some time now and i am almost there with it. I am basically trying to replicate the menu at [url]...
So far i have got everything to work apart from the easing movement when the menu is dragged. The menu is quite simple, it is made up of a container mc.Inside this container there are 6 buttons which fill the dimensions of the container.The container itself is bigger than the stage and the user must click and drag the menu horizontally to see the rest of the menu.This is working. However, i am still after an easing effect when the menu is being dragged as it stops dead (because it is using the startDrag and stopDrag commands).how to implement an easing effect on the dragging of this menu i would be so grateful as i cannot manage to do it! (perhaps using tweenlite or tweenmax if its easier, or by using simple physics - I have attached a zip file that contains a compiled SWF and a CS4 FLA file.This is the AS3 i have so far:
making a banner that fades out one image and increases visibility on another. Kind of like one of the Kirupa footers i saw on one of the tutorial pages. Here is the link. [URL] . As you drag to the right one image fades out and another becomes visible
I have created an XML driven Drop Down menu using the kirupa tut by Senocular found here. I am trying to figure out how to get the submenus to push the rest of the main menu down on rollover kind of like this. Not sure where to start to get the AS to get the button created fromt he XML nodes to move down.I haven't changed the code found int he tut too much and the menu works fine except that the rollovers just go over the main menu.
I'm currently working on a flashsite and are trying to figure out rollover menu buttons. The site has 6 menu buttons and are placed next to each other. I want to put a rollover action on the buttons, that when you rollover a button that the whole button image enlarges and moves in front of the other.
I am building a website and I need to fade in/ fade out buttons. Here is an example : My main goal is that when I roll over the services button, I want the submenu (corporate and weddings) to fade in. Then when I roll over the portfolio button, I want the first submenu (corporate and weddings) to fade out and the second submenu ( clients, corporate, weddings, etc..) to fade in and to stay like this. Finally when I roll over testimonials, the second submenu fades out. And so on for the rest of the buttons. I know how to animate the buttons to fade in/out but I don't know how to make them fade out when I roll over the other buttons. I have attached my fla and swf. [URL]
i think this is like the 5th time i'm asking this question, i'll ask it differently this time. I just want the button to fade out on rollover. at the same time, i would like text (that is loaded externally in a text field called "caption") to fade in also on rollover.
I want to do a web site that is very wide. so i want to put a horizontal menu on the bottom. Lets say i have 5 buttons on my menu and with these buttons i want to move the content left or right. so i could control were i want to be on my website using the buttons that just move the background or content left or right
this menu in this website can i change hte menu from vertical to horizontal or someone have horizontal menu with drop down sub and XML can give i can use ??
I am following an online tutorial to build a horizontal menu bar in AS3. In the tut, they are using MovieClips, but for what I want to achieve I am using buttons.
Here is their code. Select allfunction navOverF(event:MouseEvent):void{ event.target.filters = [navBtnGlow]; navBar_mc.setChildIndex(event.target as MovieClip, 1); dropMenus_mc.gotoAndStop(navBar_mc.getChildAt(1).name); trace("We are rolling over..." + navBar_mc.getChildAt(1).name); } I have worked out that the issue is in line three "(event.target as MovieClip, 1)", but how do I change this code to work with buttons?
I've read Sen's tut. on making the xml menu, but I couldn't spot and/or find a way to make the menu horizontal rather than vertical. I would very much like to use this effect as it would make my site so much easier to update as far as more or less links go.Here is the code from Sen's tutorial:
Code: GenerateMenu = function(container, name, x, y, depth, node_xml) { var curr_node;
I have this xml driven menu with submenus that works horizontally and i want to space the menu items and submenu by getting the textWidth of the first item and placing the 2nd item next to it and then the 3rd item next to the 2nd and 4th next to the 3rd etc etc so they all sit side by side horizontally without using a fixed space for all of them. here is my code:
I just spent too much time perfecting a CSS/JS dropdown menu that I am going to have to port to Flash. I only need one of my buttons to dropdown. Nothing fancy because I am emulating the CSS menu. I've been searching Kirupa but have not found anything that meets my needs of AS2, and rollover expands dropdown.
i'm trying to make a dropdown menu like Senocular's menu but without xml and horizontal one.... i attached an example i think i found it here in Kirupa... i want to do it but the problem is i need to give each bar deffernet color and when click it appears with it's color until click another one..... is it possible to do it with frames not in AS methods....
I have was surfin' the tuts when I came across this one: Advanced Rollovers. So I whipped up a sig, and finally got what I wanted. But when I press ctrl - enter to preview it, the rollover affect doesn't fade in and out, plus since it doesn't fade in and out, the image never entirely disappears.
i'll ask it differently this time. I just want the button to fade out on rollover. at the same time, i would like text (that is loaded externally in a text field called "caption") to fade in also on rollover. i've tried sooooo many things - scavenging this board and others.
