ActionScript 2.0 :: Make A Box That Expands And Contracts
Oct 31, 2004
I'm having is keeping the other mc boxes a set distance away on both sides at all times while one box shrinks and another expands.I've gotten it to stay away in a drag example, but I can't get it to constantly stay away while the animation is expanding/ shrinking.On a less important note, I've tried scaling (expanding/shrinking) the boxes using actionscript via the x/yscale properties, but I noticed it scales uniformly, I think the word is. To understand what I need, transform a box, circle, whatever and then hold ALT + transform it. It expands only on that one particular point.
I have to create a banner that expands over content when moused over and then contracts on mouse out. I have managed to create the expand/contract animations and actions but I am having trouble positioning the that the flash file is in to ensure that it's flows over other elements on the page.
What I want to happen is that the quiz_holder box expands sideways, then when this is finished, it expands lengthways. At the moment it's just getting to the point where it's expanded sideways and then stops?
trying to tween an animation that expands as the browser window expands. To clarify this, imagine a box that simply expands to fill the dimensions of the stage and stops there. The issue is when the stage dimensions change, how can I adjust it so that the box equally expands to those stage dimensions...
We've all seen them before. Those obtrusive ads that expand their size when your mouse rolls over them. How are they done? I'm assuming it's more than actionscript code, and something is done with javascript or something.
I have loaded jpegs into instances on my stage using loadMovie()See here:However the pictures (which have a greater height than the instance) in the thumbnail buttons extrude further than the height of the targeted instance (because the jpeg size is larger) but I want it to crop to the size of the targeted instance.Is it normal for the jpeg to fill the stage from the position of your instance, independent of the instance size it is targeted for?
When i load an image into a Loader object, and then addChild the Loader object into a movieClip on the stage (Flash), the image inside the Loader scales up or down, depending on the size of the movieClip container.
Know how to do it? I dont want there to be a limit to the horizontal dimension of the dynamic textbox. I want it to depend on the text itself (expand automatically).
I like to learn to create this effect [Url]...When you mouseover the Featured Work, it expands and when mouseout it collapse. It is on the left side of the stage under the heading FEATURED WORK.
I am trying to create a nav system that expands to show sub-sections when the user rolls over main section buttons.Let me describe exactly (as best I can) how this would work:A vertical list of 5 menu buttons is stacked and distributed at equal distances.The user clicks a button (lets say Button 2) and Buttons 3, 4, 5 slide down to reveal the sub-nav below Button 2. When the user clicks or rolls back to any of the original 5 buttons, that subnav closes up.Does anyone know of a good tutorial for this type of nav or have anything I might be able to dissect and work from?
does anyone know of a way to have a text box expand to fit it's contents?
the reason I ask is that I want to use a scollbar with blur and ease, to scroll a mc containing some buttons etc., and a dynamic .txt fed, css styled text-box (with an embedded font).... what a mouth full.
the text in the box will be constantly growing, it's a last-date-first news area for a band..
i want to make the character in my flash game make a jump when the player presses a key,e.g. 'space',even the player release the key instantly,the character will still finish the complete jump process.
Is it possible to make flash mx to take the time on the system and make it run a determined frame. I want to make a clock that shows the real time. How can I do it?
I followed the bit101 tutorial on gravity and now have a movie clip called "ball" (instance name) with an embedded invisible button (so you can throw it all over the place).I also have a movie clip called "block1" (instance name too! what a coincidence, isn't life lovely). I want to make them collide, and make the ball bounce away.
this is my code for photogallery.there will be 61 images loaded in this array.how can i make an AUTO button which will make a slideshow,showing all the images in array?
arrayrow = new Array() arrayrow=[ ["00.jpg","0","sajkad","hjsgadhj"],[code].....
Im have an flv playing on my stage. I want to make a mute button for the video that can instantly make the volume 0 or 100 depending on what it is.So i have tried using this code:
I'm trying to make a preloader for a little flash project that involves re-assembling a load of rectangles to make up a pattern.Idea is that instead of the usual load bar i wanted to make use of this pattern that is relevant to the project and have it rebuild it self with these rectangles flying in from the side. So far I have got the tweening sorted using the tween class and staggered the 42 (yes took a little while, probably an easier way so let me know on that also) rectangles using 'setTimeout' so it releases each 100milliseconds after the one one before it. This probably the wrong way to do it but i wanted to check how it looked and this was the one way i knew how to do it.
I want to make it so that these rectangles fly in a complete the pattern once the loading has finished, but on a fast connection I don't want it to rush the animation but for a slow connection I obviously want it to adjust the release time and maybe even the travel speed to compensate.
I had an idea of maybe working out the percentage loaded divided by 42 and then run an if statement to see if that percentage for that segment had been reached before 100millseconds had passed, if 100 had passed then release the rectangle, if not then hold the rectangle until 100 m/s had passed. Not sure if that is the best way to do but that's why I'm looking for some suggestions from more experienced developers.
I have a map of the US and each state has a rollover that changes the color of the state...what i am trying to figure out is how to click on the state and have text appear to the side of the US map and have that text stay up until the user clicks on another state.
I am trying to make a program that dermines if sides can make a right triangle. The code that I made gives me that it cannot for everything except the sequence 3,4,5.

I saw the snow tutorial on this website and i plan on using it for 20 seconds (500 frames) in my introduction. It works perfectly fine, but after that time, it doesn't stop. It keeps on going and going and going... how to make it stop or make it go into the background? used the code provided by the tutorial. I know this is sudden by can someone answer today because i have to put it together before thursday.
I am trying to make a sprite button with graphics and can't make it work. I have successfully added text fields so I know the path is correct. I suspected my code was correct and confirmed it should be, after reading several tutorials showing the process for creating sprite buttons with graphics. Anyway, I imported nearly every class on Earth, but certainly everything which needs to be. Stage is gray and 800x600.The graphics code by itself with appear, but not when linked to the sprite. Also, the sprite won't appear no matter what. Another interesting piece of the puzzle: nothing will trace, not even objects such as textfields which actually appear and function on the stage when I text the code.

I was just curious if an array can make itself.ie, I want an array to be [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1] that sounds silly but there is a reason for it.So without having to say 1,1,1,1,1 dozens of times is it possible to just have some variables, 1, and 100, and have the array make 1, 100 times?or have while (array length = = 100? array = 1?
I want to make a "module" composed by an image and a text and make this clickable, how could I made this in AS? PS: to create the text I'm using the TextField(), what I have to use to make the image from a url?
I would like to make a screensaver with posibilitys to make notes like 3M post-it notes, the flash file should "remeber" the input that the user writes. I have the tools to make screensaver in Flash, but how to make such a flash file?
