ActionScript 2.0 :: Make The Background Change When Nav Buttons Are Rolled Over?
Apr 23, 2008
I have a nav menu i am building with flash MX 2004 and im using action script to make the background change when nav buttons are rolled over. I currently have a movie clip where the background changes with a motion tween and i used some action script so that depending on the button the specific frame will play and then stop in the background change mc.However after you have done things once they get screwed up and instead of the animation it just changes pictures instantly and the picture is usually incorrect.here is a sample of the actionscript i am using:
Code:
on (rollOver){
_root.bg_mc.gotoAndPlay("1");
}
I am wondering if there is an easy way to allow the user to change the background image on the stage by clicking a button. I have several different background images (they are just different colors, each on its own layer) and I want to have small buttons of each color that can be clicked to change the background to that color.
Im looking for a way for flash to remember what buttons the user has rolled over. Then being able to tell flash to play back the button sequence in the order they were rolled over.I have managed to adapt someone else mouse movement recorder but that is all it does is record the coordinates of the mouse and not that it actually rolled over certain buttons.
I have a flash menu that isn't made with buttons, but with one tween and it has a glow effect on rollover, it also expands. Is there any way to change the color of the text when it's rolled over (like it expands and glows). Here's the code for the rollover:
In an earlier post I mentioned I had solved my problem of finding out how to make an image fade in and out when a button is rolled over.I used this code:
image.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, imageOver); image.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, imageOut); function imageOver(event:MouseEvent):void{[code]....
Where the button is a movie clip containing a layer of stop actions, a layer of labels, and the image which fades in and out using a Tween and Alpha combination.It works great when the mouse rolls over the button, however if I roll over the area where the image fades in and out, the image will also appear! It's almost as though the 'hit' area is both the button and the image but I am unsure how to change this.
can any one tell me that how to make an swf file lager than its original size when mouse is rolled over to it .eg)like yahoo.com they have flash banners when the mouse is rolled over to it the flash banner enlarges than tis original size.
I'm using a really simple bit of code on some fading in/out buttons which overlap each other slightly to ensure that the one with the cursor resting over it sits in front of the others:[code]problem being that this brings the button in front of everything across all layers. How do I change my swapdepths to make sure the layers above the buttons STAY above? - or do I need to add something to the other layers to give them a fixed 'depth'?
What I am trying to do is to link my Flash buttons using as3 to make an iframe change the html page its showing every time I click on a different button. The web page is as follow: An html page containing a Flash menu and one iframe
I was using this code with no result: Code inside Flash SWF File var bt1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("[URL]"); function Fbt1(e:MouseEvent) : void{navigateToURL(bt1,"body");} bt1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Fbt1);
Code Inside HTML Page <iframe src="[URL]" name="body" align="center" width="1010" height="500" margenwidth="1010" margenheigth="260" frameborder="0">Browser dont suport iframes</iframe></TD>
1) I have a button and when I put cursor over it, it must start looping a sound. When I drag away, the sound must stop. I would be even cooler if it was possible to make the sound fade away when the mouse is rolled away. I have no problem creating another sound file that fades my current sound away.
2) I have a button which represents a knife, that should stab something (a panel) once pressed. So fist the knife must be clean. but after one or more presses, the blood should remain as a movie clip (as I want to animate the dripping blood)
3) once rolled over a button, the sound must start looping (as I wrote in 1.) AND the knife should slowly go backwards (MC). BUT when I roll mouse away, the sound fades away (as in 1. again) PLUS the knife should slowly move back to its place in stead of just jump from one place to another.
I've designed a Flash site in CS3 using Action Script 2.0 that has a main flash movie sorta floating in space over a gradient background. I want the gradient background to re-size with the browser, so I thought that the easiest way to do this would be to delete the gradient background in Flash and instead recreate the background in Dreamweaver using the repeat background option and then make the Flash movie's background transparent. (I hope I'm making some amount of sense here).
I've found a few tutorials on how to do this, but so far I just get a white background instead of transparent. I've tried choosing "Transparent - Windowless" under Window Mode on the HTML tab in Publish Settings. And I've tried selecting the movie from within DW and clicking the parameter button and adding a "wmode" parameter with "transparent" as its value.
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.
have a look here: [URL] As you can see, you can scroll through the pictures by using the "<prev" or ">next" buttons OR by clicking on the individual numbers. I made it to where the numbers change colors when you click on them individually, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to make the number corresponding to the picture change colors when you press the "<prev" or ">next" buttons! I've experimented with "if/else" statements for days now, but nothing is working. The pictures are loading from an XML file. Here's the AS on the main timeline:
I am attempting to change the background of a pre-developed slide show a client sent over. In the attachment the original background is gray (called "back"). I want to change it to the background called "bluebg". It works (somewhat) when I import it to the same layer that the gray background is on and convert it to a movie clip, but it covers up the navigational buttons on the top right side of the movie. It appears that these pieces are a part of the background and not on their own layer, but they are clearly flash elements required to make the show work properly, so I am unable to replace the background with the blue and keep those navigational items. Can someone take a look and tell me what I could be doing wrong? Or better yet what I can do to achieve the feat of apply the new blue background?
Here is my ongoing portfolio. Only the CONTACT and CHINATOWN is functional at the moment. You see when you click between the two how the background on the .SWF changes and not the HTML? How do I make that change as well? I don't want to make a huge movie.
I have a movie clip with 15 frames. Each frame has buttons on it (mc's)... I was going to put the actions on the main timeline/stage and navigate within the MC from the main timeline. Is that possible? I can get the buttons on the first frame of the MC to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to target/make the buttons on the other frames work? I was thinking I could identify the path of the MC with the frame labels, but that doesn't seem to work. like: _root.RMChanger.(frame label).buttonOnFrame = function
I have to move a text box in and out over the MC backgrounds on the main stage... which is why I was thinking to do it this way? I've been switching back and forth bwtween AS2.0 and 3.0
I'm trying to make a menu that has onRelease buttons on top of onRollover buttons (the onReleases are on a separate layer from the onRollovers). The onRelease buttons take the user to different urls, and the onRollover buttons are supposed to allow different parts of the menu to appear.
The onRelease buttons work fine, but I can't get the onRollover buttons to work consistently. Sometimes the onRollover buttons will correctly advance to a different frame, and sometimes they "stick" and do not advance. The script has no errors and I've tried changing the sizes of the onRollover buttons (in case they were too large and the cursor was hovering over more than 1 at the same time), changing the order of the code for the onRelease and onRollover commands (in case the onRollovers were being superseded by the onRelease commands), and countless variations of the layers and frames.
I'm sure that you'll want to see the script, but I don't think that pasting it all on this post would be reasonable? So I've put the .fla and the .swf on this page for reference: [URL]
I created a flash application which loads in many other little flash applications (.swf files) based on menu selections. When I change one of the little applications the changes are viewable except when I change the background color.
After the first time I view the application, the background color changes do not carry over to the main app. I run the little ones stand alone and they show the new color, then I run the main app and any other changes I have made are there but not the color change. When I remove the file and the load fails, the old backround color still displays in the container movie clip the .swf was previously loaded into.
I have tried several different options and the only thing that worked was renaming and copying and deleting and making a big mess. There has to be a way to force a refresh of this mysteriously saved color. doesn't there?
this is a movieClip with a textField placed over it. I would like to change the movie clips color when clicked, but not the text color.
var myColorTransform = new ColorTransform(); myColorTransform.color = 0xFFFFFF; mc.transform.colorTransform = myColorTransform;
When I try the code above it changes the whole movie clip color, text included. Is there a way to just change the background movieclip color and keep the text un changed?
I finaly got the code I needed to change the colour of my background but it clearly needs altering. At the moment it works but I have to click the button twice for the colour to change. Now for once I see that this makes sense because I have onRelease twice!
This code is on the button:
on (release) { home_btn.onRelease = function() { var myColor:Color = new Color (this._root.background1); myColor.setRGB(0xFF8844);}
However i'm unsure how to alter the code correctly....I assume the second onRelease needs to change to something else? I tried just: home_btn = function() { but am really just guessing.
I got this code from Kax. This allows me to change colour of my background. This use to work on my movie but now is just not working anymore!Since i created a button loading a .swf file this has stopped working, Any suggestions anyone?[code]I understand that I have to replace "myMovieClip" with the name of my clip!
I often use white text which is nearly impossible to see with the default white background for the text editing box. There must be a way to change it, but i have spent many hours looking for it.
