New to this forum, but was wondering if the moving background on this site [URL] is actionscript or just an animation. It looks very cool. I wanted to use the same effect for a school project I'm working on, I am using MX 2004.
View 4 Repliescreate an effect that loads a fullscreen background image that changes according to the navigation selection. The background will be replaced everytime the navigation is activated
View 1 Repliesim trying to make a navigation bar for my flash site. The idea is that all the content is displayed in small vertical lines, like this - and when you scroll over a line it opens out to a thumbnail. At the same time the other lines move outwards to accommodate the space taken up by the thumbnail. I wanted only the line your scrolling over to show but its kinda similar to the mac osx dock. Ive tried using examples of mac docks and none seem to do what i want them too.

View 4 RepliesI have a tutorial-based carousel navigation item for my site built, and now new XML content (CDATA) for the carousel can be loaded dynamically into the carousel depending on pressing different language buttons (example attached). After a few fails and tries, all good!
What I am trying to do is apply a preloader for the whole thing. Attached are 3 FLAs:1) 'working' shows the different language buttons working as I have them - the tooltips and expanded icons will show different XML content depending on the language button selected (English, Polish, German, Dutch - haven't created content or translated yet, but you can see different identifiers!)
2) 'preloader' shows the preloader I would like to apply to the carousel item. The layers are moved to frame ten mostly, 'Export in Frame 1' has been un-checked in properties for the 'item' and 'tooltip' library items, and a new layer containing dummy 'item' and 'tooltip' instances in keyframe 5 have been added. The AS has also been changed, but it doesn't take into account the multi-XML change as in 1 above
3) 'bridging' is my sorry attempt to bridge the gap between 1 and 2 above. I think that a separate array will be needed - one for the multi-XML and another for the way in which the preloader works, but nothing that I have done so far can get this to work. I have been banging my head on this since Saturday, the 'bridging' actions layer only contains a slight variation on some of the bonkers theories I have been trying, I've rolled back most of the changes - all to no avail though....
Can anybody please have a look at what I am trying to do and let me know what it is that I am doing wrong, or give me some pointers? The 'problem' AS sits in the keyframe in frame 10 of the 'actions' layer.
[URL] how the navigation/drop down menu on this site was created--from a technical stand point? I'd like to try something similar, but don't know where to start i.e. how are the elements of the menu situated on the timeline? What sort of actions are behind the buttons? Etc...
View 14 RepliesNot sure if it is just me, but I cannot seem to find any other menu out there that functions like the macromedia menu. I am building a navigation for ford.ca and the client wishes the navigation to behave like the macromedia site. MM site nav has some sort of delay that is triggerred before the rollover function fires, as well it detects when the mouse stops moving before firing. Take a close examination and you will see this.
View 1 RepliesI have a vertical menu which is generated via xml. Each menu item also has its own sub menu (not shown). When clicking on the top level item I want the rest of the items to move down to show the sub navigation. i.e.
menu item 1
menu item 2
menu item 3
menu item 4
menu item 1
sub menu 1
sub menu 2
sub menu 3
menu item 2
menu item 3
menu item 4
I have that working fine. Say if I have clicked on menu item 1, and the sub menu is displaying, before i have can view another sub menu I have to click on menu item 1 to close it before I can click on menu item 2.
This is the code that I am using to tell whether or not to move the buttons up or down:
Code:
menuButton.clicked = false;
menuButton.onRelease = function () {
if(menuButton.clicked == false) {
_root.moveMovieDown(buttonNum, buttonHeights);
menuButton.clicked = true;
[Code] .....
Basically I want to be able to click on any menu item button, if a menu item is open, I want it to close, and then open the new one. Just like this one. [URL
Client has a flash navigation menu on his website. When the site is accessed via [URL] the hardcoded links in the flash nav load pages properly. When accessing the website via the [url] the site navigation links can not load the proper pages and instead just redirect the user to the root domain.
I assume this can be fixed with a change to the .htaccess but I do not know how flash handles these links.
.htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

I have a feeling I will be a frequent visitor.creating a site for a client. The entire site will be in AS3, we're doing one long page with navigation that will always sit in a box to the left. When you click on a button in the nav, we want the site to scroll down to a certain section.
View 2 RepliesI have a simple single main timeline for the website with 6 navigation buttons. Each button sending the playhead to a label keyframe (the site has 6 'pages'). I converted 6 photos to movie clips and added one to each of the 6 labels as a full page background. To each movieclip photo, I have added a fade in blur using one of the FLASHeff effects so when a nav button is clicked, the background fades/blurs in, I have given each background 20 frames to allow the blur to fully complete.
Now all that works as expected... but now the fun begins... what I would like to do is that when a navigation button is clicked, whichever of the 6 backgrounds is currently showing will fade/blur out first before the new background photo fades in. I could do this with 36 (the total combination of transitions with 6 photos and 6 buttons). A bit of an ugly solution!
Here is the code I have for the buttons:
teamBt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseTeamHandler);function mouseTeamHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay("team");}
My question is: Is there a more elegant and dare I say, sexy actionscript 3 way to do all this and hopfully still be able to use flasheff for the blur effect?
I had better get up to speed using actionscript 3 to save myself further forum embarrassment.
now we all used to disable the menu until new section of our site gets animation but how do you handle user repeatedly abusing for example back button on the browser when moving though your website?
View 1 RepliesI have visited the [URL]. I like the most of the things in this site but the only thing which really amazed me is the navigation bar. On mouse over the menu the background picture transition take place. I guess there are three pictures, and they are doing it with the Action script.
View 6 RepliesI have a flash file using actionscript 3.0 that when the mouse moves left the background moves right to simulate looking left and vise versa with the other directions. My only issue is that acceleration is a new concept to me and I have never worked with it before. I have read some things on it but they don't really answer my full question which is...
How do i made the background move faster the farther my mouse goes and slower the closer my mouse goes (to the middle).
Here is my script:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var midXup:Number = 310;
var midXdown:Number = 270;

View 3 RepliesI have seen instruction on event listeners to get a button to go to a URL or to make a movie pause and whatnot, but what I'm not finding is instruction on how to write the AS3 for a button that simply moves you to a new page within the site itself. Also, if it's a "goto" script, the page that I want it to go to, does that have to be a new scene? If so, how do I merge two scenes together? Essentially, you can look here for what I am trying to accomplish. [URL]
What we want to happen is when let's say the direct marketing button is clicked, we want the other buttons to slide offscreen the way they slid on screen and then a new set of buttons pertaining to the direct marketing will appear at the bottom the way the original buttons appeared at the beginning. Do I need to make these buttons sliding away and a new set of buttons sliding in on a new scene? How do I link the scenes together?
On my site I have 5 buttons for navagation along the top, when you go to the Photos section there is a button that appears on stage and, when clicked, loads an external swf onto the stage, no problems so far.If I or the user clicks this button to load this external swf onto the stage and then clicks one of the other navagation buttons to go to a different section of the site, that external swf doesn't disappear.

View 4 RepliesI'm somewhat stuck in a project that I have to deliver next Friday. Thing is... I've got to code a webpage like The Killers Band webpage with a panoramic picture moving according to your mouse movements.
I've tried several things already, but I had no success yet. (Everything must be coded in AS2.0, and I'm using Flash CS3 to cover the project).
All I have is the panoramic picture, which I might be able to upload if you ask me to.
Additional info:
I've already converted the background picture into a movie clip symbol. Also, if I ever have to send the picture to anyone, I'll send it as a Private Message, since I can't post links yet.
I am currently doing a project that involves animating a background image up/down when buttons are pressed.
1.) It will need to check if a button has been pressed and then animate the background up.
2.) It will also need to check to see what the position of the background is. If it has been animated up already, it will need to be animated down.
3.) Finally it will need to contain if and else statements to animate the background movie clip. If, will animate it to y = 180. else will check the position, if it has been animated up, the background movieclip will be animated down to y = 330
I've got this space background image that you can move around with the arrow keys. What I'm trying to accomplish is kind of hard to explain so I'll just give an example...
First, look at the SWF and move the background in any direction. You'll notice that the actual image is pretty small, just barely bigger than the stage itself. I want to make a script that will create duplicates of this image and place those duplicates in the right place so that you will never see the empty white space.
Ok, so say you hold down the right arrow key.. and the image moves left. Once the right edge of the space graphic touches the right edge of the stage, i want a duplicate of the picture placed so that the left edge meets the right edge of the original graphic. Keep holding right, and eventually the original graphic will be pushed off the stage. I'd then like for that graphic to be removed, and for the whole process to repeat itself while moving the picture.
how I can add a random background to my flash site. This script should generate a random background everytime someone views my site... Exactly like this site: [URL] Visit it 2-3 times to see how it does it.
