I have a very simple problem with kirupa photo gallery with xml.i just want create some category on the gallery.
cat1.onPress = function ()
{
listXML.load.("gall1.xml");
}
[code]....
but with click on category my some images disable ,
I want the mouse cursor to change to a certain icon when i click on a movieclip.
here is the code i have so far....ive looked all over the forum and i cant find out how
Mouse.hide();
function onEnterFrame(){
scalpel_curs._x = _xmouse;
scalpel_curs._y = _ymouse;
};
I have some script for a sliding gallery and buttons to move the images. how to change the function from onPress to onRelease so I can animate the button.
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true && counter > 0){
counter = counter - 1;
[Code]....
Here is the current code that is attached to the button

Now what I am having an issue with is the gallary section is to small as it loads into the bottom of my movie (_parent). What I have decided to do is stop this process all together and have it go to a new url in a new window. Which is basic for you guys. If I take out the code under the on (release) section is it just a matter of a gotourl to get the page to open. The website is www.daemondesigns.com and originally was purchased as a template and so far have been able to put in all the new graphics and make text changes correctly with a few minor adjustments still needed. Ive got a book on actionscript 3.0 that I am just starting to make my way through but have a deadline that I may not make for this new gallery.
lets say i have dynamically duplicated movieClips ID's stored in array list. i want to add a onPress event to them. how do i do it?

I am using code from a tutorial that I downloaded to get an Home.swf to preload in my "index" page.the problem is that a part of the code reads
movie1_btn.onPress=function(){
startPreload ("Home.swf");
}
which means that I have to create a button to get the .swf file to load, how do I edit this code so that the action begins on it's own at that frame?

First, click on the Abaco island shape on the map. You'll see on rollOver there is a glow around the island. Now click on that island and the glow remains for the zoomed-in detailed view. When you return to map and zoom back out, the glow is removed.
Now, compare this with clicking on the island name "Abaco" from the list on the right, instead of clicking directly on the island from the map. It zooms in and shows the details fine, but the glow that should be there is not.
The reason this problem is very perplexing for me, is that the onPress action of the list button in the right column calls the onPress function of the map button. So, theoretically they should do the EXACT same thing when pushed. But clearly they don't.
Here is the code for the button from the list on the right panel:
Code:
listAbaco_mc.onRollOver = function() {
_root.map_mc.abaco_mc.button_btn.onRollOver();
};
[Code]....
There is more code, for example rollOver, rollOut, and Press actions for the other island buttons, but they are all of the exact same format as the Abaco island button and they all have the same problem.
So, to recap, the problem is that the list button in the right panel do not function properly onPress, even though they are calling the onPress function of the island buttons directly, and the island button onPress function works perfectly. Strangely, all but one little thing works. So it's obviously getting to the correct functions and going through the code as planned, yet that one part about the glow is being ignored or otherwise messed up.
I've done the search on tuts.Is there a tut kirupa or other on controlling one swf from another.so clsic example having a loaded playback bar then loading vid or mucis and the universal playback bar can control it.

View 3 RepliesI am having problems formatting the XML Flash photo gallery. I can't seem to get the photos to center on the page. Some of my photos are vertical and others horizontal, and they are all pushed to the left. I don't want to make all the photos the same width. Is there any way to use css to style the xml? Or is there some other way to do it? Url...Also, if anyone notices any other problems with the gallery,please let me know. This is only the second thing I've done in Flash, and I may have made some mistakes when I changed things.

View 4 Repliesmodify this tutorial ([URL]) so that it does this: one of the external swf's has a button in it that loads another external swf in a different area of the stage, so now there would be 2 external swf's displayed on stage. Then, when one of the main buttons is clicked, the exit animation of the 2nd swf is played, then the exit animation of the 1st swf is played, then the new external swf is loaded in the same spot that the 1st one was.

View 9 RepliesAlright, I've been tasked to build a menu system similar to the one on 2Advanced V5. I know, I know, don't mess with copying peoples' stuff, but my arm's being twisted to do so, by the management. I've started with Kirupa's XML menu, modified the XML to my liking, and have added some sliding code in there. I'm having a hard time with1. Getting the sliding code to interact with the submenus.2. I've got no idea how to adjust the submenus so they don't scroll too fast or too slow.EDIT: All I need is for each submenu to be scrollable, and not scroll too fast, based on how many buttons are in there. XML source can be set to the XML example in Kirupa's tutorials.The FLA is attached, and here's the Actionscript:
Code:
// generates a list of menu items (effectively one menu)
// given the inputted parameters. This makes the main menu

Using this preloader w/percentage from the kirupa tut.
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
this.loadBar._width = getPercent*100;
[code]....
I'm having trouble calculating the getBytesTotal method to return less that the total. In other words, I'd like to start the movie before it has fully loaded. Lets say, 75% loaded then gotoAndPlay.
i have been able to customize this tutorial for my needs but i am still having one problem with the thumbnails. Unlike in the tutorial i have thumbnail that are two different sizes. most of them are 100 pixals wide but some are 75 and when they are different sizes like that it screws it up...they overlap or leave big gaps between thumbs.
below you can find the code i am using. the line of code that places the thumbs in there position is
target_mc._x = hit_left._x+(target_mc._width+5)*k;
i was able to stop the thumbs from over laping by replacing target_mc._width with 100 but that doesnt fix the big gaps between the images that are 75 wide.
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];

Trying to get my head around all of the variables, functions, etc. Anyway, I want to modify the Kirupa photo gallery AS <http:[url].... to have my movie go to another movie or scene after the images have been viewed one time instead of playing through the array over and over. Printing out the AS and going through my references I am getting an understanding of what things are doing.

How to send a mail to me when anyone adds a message on the guestbook ?I guess it is possible as whenever one xml object is send to the php file for processing by sendAndLoad function , it can also send a mail via php .....the code that sends xml data to php in this actionscript is
Code:
myXML.sendAndLoad("processXML.php", receiverXML);
can some code be added in the processXML.php which also sends a mail vial "mail" function in php ?

I have a movieclip with onPress and I attach another movie to the first one. Unfortunately, the second movie inherits the onPress function from the first one. How can I remove the onPress function from the second movie? I tried to set it's onPress and onRelease to null and undefined but no success.

View 2 RepliesThis is one of my first posts, so be kind! I'm slowly getting back into Flash after a hiatus (I was pretty good with Flash 5), and I've been adapting Kirupa's XML-based menu tutorial to my company's needs. As users drill down to the 2nd and 3rd tier of menus, I need the script to load and display images (preferably with a preloader), the links of which would be provided in the accompanying XML document (I based our XML doc off of Kirupa's example as well).
