ActionScript 2.0 :: Make Links In The Middle Of Long Texts?
Sep 29, 2006
"Instead of laboring many hours tracing a bitmap in Illustrator or Freehand, you can use a little known Flash tool to convert a bitmap into a vector - the Trace Bitmap Tool. There are two reasons you may prefer vector over bitmap in your flash movies. One: to achieve a cool look. Two: to lower your file size."
you put that text in a text field in flash but you will need to have links on the word flash and illustrator and freehand... how do you do the links? do you convert all the text to a graphic and then transform the works that you want in buttons??
I am trying to do the following: I have a project file open in CS4. It currently has a background image which is locked. I want to include a menu with links/sublinks on the left side, a corporate video in the middle and another video on the right. The menu on the left (links/sublinks) simultaneously controls the other two videos. If the user clicks the 'stop' link, both videos stop. I would also like to include a scrubber, to control the video (play, pause, rewind, mute).
I am trying to do this in pieces - first get the video imported and playing, then create scrubber/playcontrols, then incorporate second video, and finally add the menu (links/sublinks). I have created sites with Flash, but this project has me baffled. I have spent months on it. As an example - I am struggling just to import the first video. Do I embed it? It seems as though each time I import the video, it does something different. I was told to embed it into the timeline (each frame of video would be on its own frame in the Timeline). This would alleviate AV synch issues, and allow me to control everything at once.
I'am making a advanced mp3 player arund this tutorial: [URL] and i want the users of the player to see how long they have listen or how long time back of the song. i have the AS i what to use but i cant connect them. becuase the tutorial i used does not make a sound objekt (MUSIC)
I am willing to use Macromedia Flash this year to make my physics project. Well, its going to be force resultant calculator. for ones dont know how it gets counted.
Well, I'll make 4 input text boxes, and a button in the middle. 1 text boxin the north, (power effect the body from the north) one on the south, one on the east and one on the west.(I've done that part).
Then, ill need it to subtract the north - south and east - west on(release), and display that on a dynamic box called Fx (east - west) and another called FY (north - south) Finally, I'll need it fethagorth the Fx and FY to give me the final force resultant. I've done the 4 input boxes and a button, I'll still need someone gimme the action script for subtraction and fethagorth (or atleast teach me how to do it).
1. I would like to make an animation where a dice roles from the left of screen towards the middle. Bit like this: I am thinking an animation, then put it on a path (not sure how to do this, but I know it can be done.) I have heard that swift3d could help me here, if so, give me a heads up. I could also make it an animation and make it bounce on the spot and use the inflash camera and draw back the distance to seem as if it is moving forward. Basically the main problem is how do I make the animation of the cube?
I'm trying to play a 10 minute long video (h264/mp4) which is 39MB in size, after I call stream.play(fileURL) it doesn't start playback until its loaded around 12-16MB of the file (many many seconds later), I finally get onMetaData at this point too. Why doesn't it begin playback right away, or at least w/in a couple seconds? What can cause this bloated lead in time?
I need to make a 1 minute long animation for today that incorporates these three elements:It must have a title and credits Must have at least one character that uses the bone tool It must have shape tweens (with hints)The quality doesnīt really matter, just so long as itīs not completely shoddy, or super professional, it just has to be done by today.
I'm trying to basically make an arrow in the middle rotate till it points at the button you rolled over. Each button gives a value for "rot" when you roll over it. 0 degrees is up. I dunno if that's important or not. It's probably always up = 0... heh. Anyway this is the a/s for the "arrow" in the middle. It's instance is arcpoint. Here it is:
[Code]...
I know some of this stuff could probably be shortened but this is how I got it working so far. The problem is the second half of the a/s. The part where it picks a direction clockwise or counter. If it goes clockwise (which I had it working fine at the start) it points at the button fine.But the problem kicks in when it tries to go clounterclockwise. It will always pass the button and point down and flicker back and forth.
Edit: Ok I'm surprised people are even looking at this at 1 am but thats beside the point of this edit. I think it has something to do with the else if statements conditions overlapping so that's what makes it wiggle back and forth. Then again I could be wrong. I'm trying to analyze the conditions but my brain hurts and it's early (or late...).
I am creating one desktop application of facebook.
So here I am getting streams from facebook post. So when any facebook application's long image link I am getting that I can't display in Image container, this is not displaying image.
One also fact is that, When I am giving this link directly then it is working.....
When I have seen this in Charlse Debugging proxy then it is displaying 403,Forbidden error of image.
basically on the stage I have my Menu movieclip which is linked to an actionscript class called Menu. Within this I have another movieclip, not linked to actionscript, just a plain old movieclip.
This movie in question is a dialog box, and contains an animation for it popping up, and then going away again. I'm trying to put actions on specific frames to make it stop when it reaches the middle of the animation, then when "ok" is pressed the animation will resume and it disappears again. However the actions on the frames don't seem to be getting executed. I tried putting "this.stop();" on the middle frame, and have since put "trace("hello?");" on all kinds of frames but it doesnt seem that the actionscript is getting called at all.
This is something for work so I don't really want to start sending the .fla file around, but instead is there anything I should know about things which could cause the frame actions to not be executed?
I have a large group of functions.The function to be called depends on the value of a var (which is a int);I could make a long case statement along the lines of this
I am using the following code in many places, like you can see, there is m1,m2, m50,m51 m100 etc, it means i have 100 movieclips(in example below, there are 10 mcs only). [code]...
im following some suggestions to cut my flash website into a few sections to make preloading a bit easier. so all i want is to make a small round ring rotate as long as the file is loading. so i looked and followed a lot tutorials but all the preloaders tutorials are much more compliceted then i need. they all have persentige sowing, and a bar that is filling according to how much the file has loaded, and colors changing etc. so i tried to take from the tutorials wat i need for my simple preloader to work but i get stuck.i built the animation of the rotating ring, but i get stuck with the actions i need to make the animation work as long as the file is working. i called my ring animation "circularloader". here is a image of the page with the ring:
I'm trying to make about a minute long animation of two koi fish.
1. Fish slowly swim in frame 2. Fish swim in circle a couple times 3. 4 food pellets drop into water 4. Fish eat them one at a time 5. Fish slowly swim out of frame
I've finished step 2, but now I want to go back and do step 1. I've attatched a picture of my koi and I was wondering if there was any way I could flip the image of them and tween them to make it look like the fish were moving their bodies all in flash.
I want to make a box come from off screen then bounce back and forth and then come settled down in the middle of the screen. It can be random bouning intervels or a set amount.
What is the Action Script code that makes me able to make a download link? I used "getURL" but this way user is forced to open the file, I want to make him able to download the file and save it to his hard disk. How I can make this? For Example, if the file was an audio file, I don't want it to open directly with the default player, I want to make user free to save it to his PC or play it online.
I'm trying to do a collasplble menu, after hours of search (Google) I've found a great FLA, really.. but I don't know why, I cannot make url links, it only work with external SWF..
My goal is making a navigation section that is a scrollable box. I thought the easiest solution was to make a dynamic text box and put a scroll bar on it. Worked until it came time to make the links. It is only letting me make one link for all the text. Also I think I want more control for the mouseover look.
I have a flash that I am trying to make the buttons/links towork on and no matter what I do they just do not work. I have many hours into it so far and just had no success weather using my CS3 how to book of the forums information.I not sure what I am missing. Never had this much trouble before. the first one I tried is HOME, have not gone farther since I can make the 1st one work.[URL]..
What do you do when you code as always, but some folks report that the mouse cursor does not become a hand to indicate link behavior? Also, how can I make the cursor change to a big arrow? Flash CS3, Mac AS 2
I have followed the tutorial by b.rich on Arrays and attachmovie to try and make a movie with a list of links. the MC that I attach dynamically has a AS 2.0 class attached to it to handle its rollover and rollout states. An invisible button in the MC (instance name lbutton) carries the AS for the link and sits on the topmost layer. My newbie brain just cannot get around two problems:
1. The links just wont work.
2. I have quite a long list of these. How do I fit them all in the MC (all my attempts show the links spilling out of a container MC and onto the main stage), make the MC scrollable and then put it on the stage?
Im trying to make a page with many vdeos links and each vdeo link has just a path for a variable in java...with the right name of the flv file.This is for make only one swf with a video player that changes the videos with the links in java, but dont work..
I found a cool menu that I'd like to be able to use but right now I don't know how to make the buttons become functional links. If its just a matter of editing the XML only? Or...does something need to be added to the actionscipt as well. I have a hunch both need to be edited and I have already tried various revisions. Below is the link where the example and files can be found. Be aware that if you try to use the actual files you will need an mc tween extension found at [URL].
Here is the XML code <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <item nazov="button num 1 "load="" image=""/> <item nazov="button num 2" load="" image=""/> <item nazov="button num 3" load="" image=""/> <item nazov="button num 4" load="" image=""/> [Code] ....
I have tried to do those thing for couple of days( and nights), and every time some part of the code that i write in there does not work.I have tried to do Drop Down in animation (motion tween), i have also tried to do links, but i just dont get them work.
How on earth do I get the HTML links inside a flash movie open up in the same browser window where said movie is embedded in (As opposed to opening up as a new pop-up windows)? Here is the code I have inside each of the buttons I have inside my flash movie:
var link7:URLRequest=new URLRequest("videos/december.html"); videos_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClicked7); function buttonClicked7(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(link7); }
create links in a dynamically loaded text box? I have a dynamic text box with this code (Flash MX/1.0):
loadText = new loadVars(); loadText.load("news_txt.txt"); //creating the loadVarsText function loadText.onLoad = function() { scroller.text = this.newstext; };
I followed this tutorial [URL] but I need to be able to make links within this text. I'd like to be able to add other HTML code to the text (bold, underline, etc.) but just being able to make hyperlinks from the .txt file would be great.
