for a menu i use 3 MCs, when you click one of them, the two others MCs will make place for the 'options' of the clicked menu. What i want to do is give a specific _x and _y coordinates for the menus to move at when the other one is clicked (start and arrival, and have a motion tween between them). see what i mean?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to create an xml accordion menu that has main menus and a sub menus buttons (movieClips) revealed with a mask. Simple question, How do I stop the mask area which reveals the sub menus catching mouseEvents on the submenus?The main menu button is a movieClip, it has the mask sprite attached to it as a property so it can scale dynamically to reveal the subMenus. They are set as children of the main menu button container. In my code I've set mainMenu.mouseChildern = true. But when the mainMenu is clicked I change mouseEnabeled = false to help prevent the main menu receiving events. This helps on rollOver rollOut events, but when I click or mouseDown on the subMenu the mask catches the event also and activates the main menu again. I've tried the obvious mask.mouseEnabled = false; mask.mouseChildern = false; mask.hitArea = null; and even setting mask.alpha = 0 but this has no effect at all.
I don't understand why the mask has to extend the hitArea property of the mainMenu and why this can't be set to null. It also seems crazy that when mouseChildren = true the parent clip also has to receive notice of the event.
is it possible to give specific x and y coordinates to a BitmapData?
you can give the width and height, but no x or y... I dont want it to start at (0,0)
ActionScript Code:
var bmd : BitmapData = new BitmapData( m_mask.width, m_mask.height, true, 0xFFFFFFFF );

View 2 RepliesIm going to attatch the fla on here...I am also going to give you the script viewable here...im completely a beginner so i made my self notes
also this is not all my coding im just learning off of it to create my own project... What coding would i use to tell the mc to stop scrolling once it reaches a certain x coordinate? for example x=0 (left side of stage) or x= -484 which is when right side of picture is at right side of stage... and can i setup math for it to automatically determine the correct x coordinate (based off mc width) to stop at?? if there is easier scripting to do the same....fill me in
oh and x is off of the stage typically...this is panoramic pics im scrolling

View 1 RepliesI have 500x500px images in my Library that I want to load to a specific set of coordinates. I've found various hints on how to insert images programatically, but none state how to insert to a specific location.Currently, my code goes something like this:
var image:Bitmap;
switch(conStyle){
case 4:
var chart:IF= new IF(); //Flash CS5 doesn't need the dimensions passed on
image= new Bitmap(IF);
}
However, this sets the default location to the upper left corner. How can I set the xy coordinates for the image to be displayed at?
I modified the falling snow to move upwards to make bubbles, but now I want them to come from a specific spot from movie clip which is moving constantly and roating.

it works fine, but now i try to expand my content, i realise my start wasn't ideal. I started with a'homescreen' and both screens on the side. made with tweens all the animations, the buttons are programmed with a goto(movieframe).so you click, goto the animation, and after it, you go back to a frame with the new screen-content.
for putting new content on my website i have to change screen itself, the screens around it and the animations around it.

View 1 RepliesI have a small mask that I need to animate across the stage in response to clicking various buttons. It has to go a different distance each time depending on which button is clicked along the x axis. I can get at the starting and ending x co-ordinates. I need to develop a set of x coordinates so that the mask starts moving fast and slows down as it gets nearer - kind of like the easing effect. I figured using some sort of simple 1/x^2 expression and have spent an hour or so fiddling in excel. Trouble is its a LONG TIME since I did maths, and I can't remember what formula to use. Have tried google with "parabola", "simple curves" etc.

View 3 RepliesThe mc I want to tween is a menu button. I just want to change its y coordinate up on rollover and down at its original position on rollout. My mc has a y coordinate at _y 53 and should go up at _y 43 on rollover and it should go down at original _y 53 on rollout. So even if I respect precisely how the code should be built it does not do what I want. Or the mc button goes to high or it does not move at all.
So the code is
import mx.transitions. Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
menu1_mc.onRollOver= function() {
new tween(menu1_mc,_y,Bounce.easeIn,menu1_mc._y,43,3,t rue); };
menu1_mc.onRollOut= function() {
new tween(menu1_mc,_y,Bounce.easeIn,menu1_mc._y,53,3,t rue); };
I m having some problems with my menu I m working on.Its weird cus I d already have done the same menu once and worked fine..The selector mark is suposed to "mark" the selection on the menu after a selection is pressed. But I m having problems with the X and y coordinates and scales of the MC and when I click on the option,the MC gets smaller and then bigger to the size I want.Its suposed change scale and position but its not working like it is suposed to work.I m not sure either if I m setting the Mc on the initial x and y coordinates.
