View 1 RepliesI 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.

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)

View 1 RepliesFirst off, lemme start by saying that this site is incredibly awesome. Every time I have a problem or wish to learn something in Flash I turn to [URL]. Now for my problem. 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 found this tutorial [URL] and is wondering if I could limit the area where the clip can follow? I'm planning to have my cartoon's EYEBALLS follow the mouse move.

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 need a tutorial for a hierarchical drop down menu system that drops down 3 sub levels. Do I make the items in the sub menus individual buttons and then insert them into a movie clip or make every sub menu item a movie clip and insert them into buttons?

How can I create a context menu for each movie clip in as2
View 2 RepliesI have a horizontal menu bar across the bottom of a site I manage, and I would like to load it as the Moive content loads. I have made the menu bar into it's own movie clip, but I cannot work out the code to relate the Menu bar movieclip to the parent movie clip.[url]...
View 9 RepliesI am trying to build an XML Driven Drop Down Menu similar to the one detailed in the tutorial in The difference is that instead of the menu item taking the user to another website I want it to launch a swf file in a movie clip. Basically, what I'm trying to do is build a training application where the user clicks a button (created from the XML file) and it starts a movie in a movie clip. Seems simple but I haven't been able to find anything on it. All the tutorials involving XML menus have the buttons launching URL's.
View 7 RepliesI need with a menu witch has 5 buttons moving along an ellipse. When I click on a button, I need to call an "arrow" movie clip, locate it BETWEEN the button being pressed AND center stage, and make sure it's pointing toward the middle. Much like the picture below: I've spent the whole week trying to make it work but I guess I don't know enough about AS2, or geometry to succeed on my own.

I have a basic XML menu that dynamically attaches the menuItem instances to the stage. They are being attached to the root timeline, but I want to put all of the actionscript inside a movieclip called "menu1_mc". I am having some trouble with the proper syntax, because when I move the code inside of the movieclip, I can't get them to attach to the stage unless I still reference _root. I'd like them to attach at (0,0) of the menu1_mc movieclip.

I have been having some difficulties with custom context menus with CS5.5 and AS3. I have this working in 2 places: - The FLA file which I use to develop this in (I work within an FLA, but distill everything down to an AS3 based Sprite which can be instantiated via code provided the various symbols are in the library) - In an test harness. (I ensure that the Sprite can be instantiated through pure Actionscript)
The custom context menu works perfectly in both the above scenarios. However, in my main application (which is a good deal more complicated than my test harness) I see the default context menu. All other mouse events on my nested clip work perfectly.
Is there some limitation with the Context menu in AS3? My code looks fine. It pretty much corresponds to the vast majority of Context menu implementations - so feel like there is something I am missing from the bigger picture.

The menu will consist of Main headings and Sub headings that will appear when the Main headings are clicked.The Headings are displayed within movie clips that are generated via duplicateMovieClip()I have attached actionscript to the timeline of a movieclip and it loads and displays the Main headings with no problem.On the one movie clip that I am duplicating, I have an on(press) action that is supposed to generate the Sub headings using the same duplicateMovieClip technique. This is where I run into trouble. I cannot get the Sub headings to generate. Can you specify duplicateMovieClip() within the on(press) function of a movieclip that was already duplicated?
View 1 RepliesI followed a tutorial to have a movie clip work as an animated menu for a website. One of the functions is set up as follows:
function do_this() {
this.gotoAndPlay("frame label");
gotoAndPlay("frame label");
}
So the animated menu is going to a specific frame in the movie clip while the site is going to the appropriate page. What I can't figure out is how to freeze the menu in the state that it goes to with this function so that it doesn't revert back once the mouse rolls out of the hit area. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Is it possible to save a movie(whole or particular movie clip) as a image formate(.jpg or some other) by clicking a button which is available in the same movie, at a "Runtime" through "Flash 8 Actionscript 2".
if it is possible, please explain me how to do.
I have a menu for a website in flash where, an mc moves up and down and shoots...so that when the projectile MC hits a button, it clicks it.
1.) How do I make it so that the MC follows the mouse (like a custom cursor)..but is restricted to only going vertically
2.) how would you make it so that the mc can shoot anywhere....but when the fired MC hits a button, it acts as if it was clicked? My AS knowledge...is..very basic...so if you have any free time could you explain the codes?...so that I can learn from this...rather then just stealing your codes... but..if you want to just let me copy and paste...thats cool too
make dynamic horizontal menu working inside movie clip instead of main timeline just like as it now.
I cant get it to working so i need you if you can assist with little coding.
I new to AS3 and Flash and have a question about this code. I can't seem to discern how the Menu is generated. The stage has only 3 object, 3 buttons the menu return buttons. My copy is based on this exact code but I get this error: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method menu. var button:MovieClip = new menu(); The working copy of this .fla file somehow generates a MENU with the names Project 1 - drag and drop

i'm making a rollover menu with AS3, and when the user mouse clicks I want it to go to a certain frame in a movie clip and stop. It does this fine, however I have an animation for it to play on Mouse out. So when user mouse clicks then mouse outs from the button area it plays my mouse out animation and i'm back to square one. How can i tell it to ignore the mouse out animation if the user has clicked the button?
