ActionScript 2.0 :: Navigation System Inside The Portfolio Page Not Working
Jul 1, 2007
I am creating a site, and I have this navigation system inside the portfolio page. But it is not working. So it is like this it is built. Default.fla is loading portfolio.fla inside a movie clip loader. and the portfolio.fla has a navigation system for different portfolio pieces. I have set up the first one to work (dasa design). so, I need the outro to play of hm1.fla (first file loaded) and then play the intro of the Dasadesign file. I know this has something to do with the depth and so, but I have tried many ways but not succeeded. files are found here! [URL]
i am making a flash portfolio and am working on the "work" page.i have a bunch of links.i would like each link to open up a seperate window containing a graphic that is already in the library.so basically, what is the script to link to a graphic already in the library and have it open in a seperate window.(i just said the same thing twice.....)and also, is there any way to customize these pop up windows?
I am using the following code for my Navigation in a FLash CS4 file:
stop (); function buttons(event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndStop(event.target.name); } home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons); services.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons); about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons); contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
It works great when I am on the home page, but stops working once I navigate to any of the other pages. I have an Actions layer and that layer extends the full length of all pages/frames of the timeline.
I have the frames labeled as such: home, services, about, and contact. (All are "Type:Name")
each button is named as such: home/ instance of "home", services/instance of "services", etc.
how to arrage thumbnails like in [URL] > portfolio or may be an enhancement to the "flash xml image gallery" tutorial found in this website Basically I'm not trying to replicate the navigation sequece of the portfolio, but it's more like "How to handle an array in such a way?".
I've been through Senoculars XML tutorial which can be found here and went further to read another thread (here ). about extending the Portfolio to allow for more thumbs--implementing a scrollbar-to Scotty This brings me to my questionQ: How can I do away with any scrolling and implement page numbers instead? So users could click the page numbers to go to the next lot of thumbnails in the section instead of scrolling up and down. The image below illustrates what im trying to achieve. As you can see I would like it to show current page, and overflow for page numbers that wont fit within the area dictated on the stage (rather like how threads work in this forum)
There was a post about a month ago about page numbering what i THINK was senocular's xml portfolio. with the recent loss of some posts, this was wiped out as well. does anyone have it archived anywhere or does anyone have the file that was being passed around in that post?
I am designing a solar system model.Not neccesarily our planets, but ones of my picking etc.I need them to rotate around a central object (i.e. the sun)Now, when I click on one of the planets I want to have it freeze the planet or stop its motion, then zoom in on it - meanwhile the rest of the planets continue in their orbits. Then a movie is launched...for that area's content.All the while maintaining the perception of 3d.I've found some interesting depth tutorials, but nothing like this anywhere.I have my ideas and I've tried a few, but I'm not getting the effect I'm after.You know I had thought about using motion guides, then having them planet's zoom, size, and alpha adjust based on position along that guide, but then to zoom up in on the planet while its doing that, and to stop it.
I'm working on building a personal portfolio site right now. I wanted to add a scroll feature to one the pages. I wasn't sure how to build it, so I down loaded one off here [URL] and just plugged my own graphics into it. It scrolls up and down just fine, but when I try to put a mask over it, it doesn't work. In the content the author wrote for his movie he says "Note: If you want to have a mask over the content: copy MC:frame and make it a mask for MC:Page. If you do so, notice that "non-anti-alias text" is not possible anymore. This is a common thing in a Flash Movie. I keep trying that and it just blocks everything out all together. So what am I doing wrong?
I found this navigation system and im trying to figure out how to make it. Not going very well tho, i was wondering if anyone has some hints or a simular tutorial for this. This is the navigation system: [URL]
I've been working on my first full blown flash site for a few weeks, tackling problems as I encounter them, and I've learned a lot...but sometimes the simplest things I cannot figure out for the life of me. All I am trying to do is have some flash banner SWF files play within the portfolio page of my site. I don't want them to open in a pop up or anything just play within the page when the link on my site is clicked. I figured it would act like a movie clip and I could just drop it onto the stage, but when I do that it doesn't look right, loops continuously, and is not interactive. How can I make this work?
I have a flash project, its working fine in local system, but the same file is not working in live here is the link of the site, its showing blank page, the flash contents are not loading... [URL]
I have a flash project, its working fine in local system and checked this file with uploading in someother websites, its working fine there too, but the same file is not working in live here is the link of the site, its showing blank page, the flash contents are not loading.URL...and here the same file which i have uploaded it in other server its working fine.URL...
I found a tutorial that showed how to create a navigation system that would load external SWFs. I am trying to create an image gallery in essentially the same manner but instead of loading SWFs, I want to load external bitmap images.However, when I replace the SWFs with images, I keep getting an error message:
Code: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Bitmap@3e91d2e1 to flash.display.MovieClip.at image_Loader_fla::menu_1/isLoaded()
So obviously, it is trying to convert the bitmaps to movieclips. Due to my newbiness with AS3, I'm not really sure what I need to do with my existing code to fix this issue.I've provided a sample of the gallery if anyone wouldn't mind taking a look.
P.S. In the sample I provided, you will notice that on mouse-over, an external will load. The only one that won't work is the first one (Home) as it is trying to load an external PNG.
I'm (still) working on a pageflip catalogue and i need to add a system that marks selected pages and enables you to come back to the marked pages at anytime you want.In other wordz, i'm trying to obtain the same thing as this :
[URL] and mess around witk the post-it block in the middle of the pages, on top part of the catalogue.)Since the pages are loaded externally thru a xml file, I don't know how to refer to the page that is to be marked, how can i add multiple markers...
is it possible to incorporate a checkbox system into a contents page, so that depending on whether or not the boxes are checked, movieclips will be shown?
with each section having a few mc's each the navigation works by just loading a new mc for each page.. eg: each time you press next it loads the next MC
however i want to add the checkbox to the contents so if section 3 is unticked, the mc's in it will cease to exist or be inaccessible or something, and will be skipped when navigating through the rest of the sections
I need to implement a webcam for a web chat system. Im trying to avoid that the video data goes through the webserver... it should go directly from client to client (as if they were using with skype).
Essentially I want to set up a system where a I have a bunch of subclasses that all end up doing the same thing, so I declare a base class that has some pretty basic functions. Here is my code:
Each class that will extend the BaseClass has a 'mouth' movieclip inside of it, though I have not set up a movieclip for the BaseClass. It looks good in theory, but of course I get an error:
Code:BaseClass, 1120: Access of undefined property mouth 'Automatically declare stage instances' is checked, so I'm not sure what else to do here.
Any thoughts on a good way to accomplish something along the lines of
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://myurl.com"); var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(event:Event):void { System.setClipboard(loader.data); });
It seems as if System.setClipboard() isn't available inside an event handler (which makes at least some sense given what I know about Flash security).get it to work? or block on the URL load so that I can then call setClipboard() in the main event flow?
I have a FMS 3.5 installed on windows 2003 server, with a NFS file system.Both the application directory and the data directory is on the network file system.Every two weeks the system became unstable because the Free system PTEs go under 2000.The only strange thing i've noticed is that the Virtual size of the FMScore grows to about 1.300.000K after few hours from the reboot of the machine and stay to this value indipendently from the load of the server, In another FMS installed on a machine without the network file system this value is 16.800 K.
I have created what looks like a book in flash.There is a corner turned over at the top right so when you click it the page turns. This is fine, however, what i want to beable to do is when I click it the page turns and goes to a new page. ( i have made all the other pages)I tried an on(release) but it just doesnt go to the page, it plays the movie clip but I cant get it to navigate aswell..
I am trying to implement a comment form for a flash page using a php email system. I am new to flash, but I got it working for the most part. The problem is that I receive emails, but they are blank and do not contain the info I put in. Below is the Actionscript I used and the php I used.
on (release) { if (!FirstName.length) { EmailStatus = "Please Enter your name."; }
I have a tree, which childs dispaching event, if i run the object outside TitleWindow - everything is working fine, but if i encapsulate it inside a TitleWindow as into the source below - the event is not anymore dispached system wide.
i have an swf file to cause a page curl when i click a different link in my site, but as of now it is a blank curl over the page i navigate to. i want to make the current page curl revealing the 1 i am navigating to. how would i go about this?
From this example image attached, I have created many instances on my stage, let's say that for each instance I would like to go to a new section that has a different layout. What is the action script that will move my frame to the right location for example, let's say on one of the instance I have a button that says contact. On one of the buttons, what action script to I have to put in so that it navigates there when someone press it, I would think "on press" go to instance tab contact something of that nature.
I have a Flash MX navigation on an html page and I want to set up the buttons so that onRelease they will go to named sections on that html page; Thru the use of the <A NAME></A> <A HREF></A> tags.
