I'm trying to achieve this kind of menu effect:[URL] I would like to have the menu centered under the main movie clip and follow it as it tweened to its different dimensions. I can get kinda close, but it never works out right.
View 2 Repliesat this site on the right hand site... there are 3 menu options...with one white box that follows where your curror goes. i can acomplish this but the movie i make snaps the white bow back to the top.url...

View 1 RepliesI animated my buttons in a movie clip (content_mc) and now I am getting an error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at slashhome002_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
I am accessing the button from my main timeline with:
content_mc.capabilities_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,capabili tiesClick);
function capabilitiesClick(e:MouseEvent):void{
content_mc.x = 1000;
content_mc.y = 0;
}
Before the buttons were tweened they worked fine.
I have a button that when pressed moves out of view and moves a second button into view. Then I have two movieclips, they look the same only one is animated and the other isn't, both on different layers. That part is working just fine. What I also want the button to do when clicked is show the animated movieclip (and hide the other if possible, but not necessary since it'll be under the animated one). Now I haven't gotten that far because I can't even get the animated movieclip to be hidden! I've been using visible = false; command for everything and it's been working up to now. Is it possible to hide a tweened movieclip? (It's a classic tween)

In flash cs4, i've created motion tweens on 4 separate layers with 4 different movie clip symbols that were created with the pen tool. it seems to be fine when i scrub the playhead, but when i test the movie, 2 of the movie clip graphics distort, and the bottom halves of them move faster than the top halves.
View 2 RepliesI am attempting to have the main timeline move from a stopped position over a movie clip to frame 1, where my start menu is.The code I'm using does move the timeline but in doing so it somehow breaks the 4 buttons I have in frame 1.

stop()
function replayMovie(event:MouseEvent):void

Been reading the tutorial on centred pop ups by Kirupa and I am wondering how to execute the javascript from an externally loaded movie?
I have a button on a clip that is loaded externally and I want this button to open a centred, non resizable pop-up window. Do I simply publish the external clip as both flash and as htm, place the javascript code on the htm file and then play the root movie clip as normal?
I would like to use a movie clip such as a rim from a car and rotate it on its x axis centered and then move it along the screen according to how much of the screen has loaded.here is what I have so far sorry it may be a little messy:
stop();
//rotate the rim
rim_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, rotateRim);
[code]....
NOTES: the function rotateRim works correctly rotating the rim the var xpos provides me with the correct position i would like my X position to be and traces it out perfect upon test if trace is coded for it.
I've finished a site that has a listener with no scaling. Basically its the typical /2 deal to keep the movie clip centered. On a few images I have a 1 pixel black frame so the images need to remain on whole pixel locations to remain crisp. Generally everything works well but sometimes when you resize the browser just right it somehow puts them in between pixels.
View 2 RepliesI hav movieclips in a flash document that i have autocenter when the stage is scaled code is something like this:
clients_mc.y = Math.round((stage.stageHeight/2)-15);
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeClients);
function resizeClients(event = null){
clients_mc.y = Math.round((stage.stageHeight/2)-15);
};
any way to make it esae in to position or bounce, something?
how do I get one movie clip to follow another?
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a map project with several movie clips that are dragged and dropped onto their respective movie clips. PROBLEM:
Initially, draggable movie clips are reduced their original size. When they are dropped onto their matching movie clip, I would like them to take the dimensions of the movies placed on the map. How to do that?

I made spiral rotating line in 3D space animation using Flash CS4. I would like for my 3D spiral Movie clip to follow the mouse movements of a visitor.
My code works.....but....the spiral decreases in size and eventually disappears when moved to certain sections.
In short, what I am trying to do is to keep my spiral effect constantly the same size and movable on the screen.

Is there a easy way to scale the part of a masked movieclip that the user sees to a specific height? I want to ignore the masked part but scaleX scales using the dimensions of the mask.I'm assuming you can do this using bounds and getting the difference but am having trouble figuring this out.
View 1 Repliesi am trying to scale a movie clip to certain pixel dimensions with easing. I have four buttons on the stage and one mc( a square). when a button is pressed i want to scale the mc to a certain size. i.e button 1 scales the mc to 200 pixels by 500 pixels.

I've got a main timeline .swf file called "blank.swf" which contains nothing but two blank movie clips one called called "pproduct", the other called "ppalette". In the script frame of this main timeline I use the simple "Loader = new Loader();" method to load a URL of an .swf file into the "ppalette" movie clip. The "ppalette" movie clip contains several color chip buttons, each of which use the same Loader method above to load an external .swf into a clip. Here's what I want to do: let those color chip buttons, when the "blank.swf" file loads, be used to load an .swf movie into the "pproduct" clip on the main timeline. I'm wanting to be able to swap depths with various movie clips which will take out the movie which has the palette, but I want whatever that palette has loaded in the original "pproduct" clip to stay there.

I am trying to have a slingshot follow the mouse from a pivot point: that is, have it rotate from its registration point, not follow the mouse around the stage, or have 36o-degree rotation. The mouse will pass over an invisible button, which, on press, will go to and play an animation in a different scene, of a rock zooming to the target. This in turn will go to and play another animation in a different scene. I have a very basic understanding of Actionscript, and I am working in Flash MX (my school won't upgrade)

Have you ever played Madness? You know how, depending on where the mouse is, the hand rotates i.e. points at the mouse's current position? Well, I want to learn how to do that. I've attached a short animation demonstrating what I want to be able to do (the arrow points at the mouse's position, and then gun represents the movie clip that rotates) using a script

I have a very simple problem but I can't find the very simple solution to it. I've create an animated menu with animated movie clips inside to work as buttons. All the main buttons work perfectely but I've got just on button with a sub-menu. On this sub-menu I've placed an invisible hitarea button in order to place some gotoAndStop action. The thing is, it seems to me like this submenu hitarea are underneath something else (even though is the seccond layers right about the actions layers). I've placed a simple trace action whenever the mouse rolls over this area but I get nothing... Am I doing something really wrong? I'm losing all my hair already.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a game where you have a car that will drive along a side-scrolling terrain, and it needs to folllow the hills up and down and rotate accordingly. Because the front wheel and back wheel will need to be at different heights as the car moves, I'm wondering what the best way to make it rotate correctly is?
The height detection works, and the car will follow the hills but that's just using one point on the car movie clip to test with - it needs to use the front and back of the car.
i've got 5 images. i want the following things to happen:
