ActionScript 2.0 :: Panning Through Timeline Backwards?
Nov 9, 2007
Im working on a project that allows the user to pan left and righ along a picutre (360deg) I can pan the movie right as it just moves frame by frame along the image timeline but when i try and pan left.. i have problems with when it gets back to the start of the timeline it just stops.
Is it possible to make the timeline run backwards through the timeline, so that I don't have to waste resources on reversing my scene intro animation later on in my main timeline? (imagine the intro is zooming into a book, then the reverse effect zooming out of the book).
I have been wondering this for a long time, but I assume that this is not possible.
I am creating a timeline for a website and there is a slider located at the top of the page where the years are defined on a line. The slider should be able to be moved by the clicking on it with the mouse and dragging it thus moving the timeline information directly below it from right to leftIf ANYONE knows any codeing or how to accomplis this in Flash CS3 actionscript2; If I am able to log onto my tempsite soon... I will upload what I have so far and post it in a reply thread. I have created the pieces of this puzzle in flash just as a motion tween to show the concept that I am trying to create. When the slider moves right to a greater year, the timeline image pans left. Vice versa
SO im currently working on a project similar to one that can be viewed at [URL] (my inspiration) and i have everything set up like the following. Link 1(resume) will take me to my desktop area link 2(portfolio) will take me to the living room and link 3(contact) will take me to a conference area. so while im in the living room and i want to go back to area one. here is my source (my project folder is resume, tweener is located in resume/classes)
Short description what I wan'a do: 30 frame long movie clip (my_mc) and a button (button_btn). When button rollOvers the clip should play (how to do that I know ) and when on button RollOut the clip should play backwards from the same frame where it stopped.
I've got a strange glitch goign on in one of my flash files. I load a set of menu items from xml and format their text using TextFormat at the time of loading. This works great until I start jumping around in the timeline. Working forwards in time it maintains its formatting, but if I jump backwards at all, it loses its alignment and defaults to Left Side.
//create the function that will load the xml info into the dynamic menu text function CreateMenu(side_xml){ //makes the xml file easier to navigate

I had the idea of a circular menu, and when the user clicks on a menu item, that one rotates to the top, and becomes highlighted (hopefully with easing). I've searched around here for reversing timelines, etc. but can only find ones that go to the next set frame.How do I get it to skip past the menu items in between? For example if #1 is at the top and I click on #4, I want it to skip past #2 and #3.
I am looking to explode an image backwards. Example, I have an image and at frame 1, Alpha is zero. At frame 20, the image is at Alpha 100%. From frame zero to 20, I want to have an exploded view come together by the time it reaches frame 20. I am reading this on web, and I don't have the 'Insert - timeline effects - explode' on my file menu. Is this a plugin that I have to install? This is the site I am reading. [URL]
I am trying to tell flash from within a movieclip to start playing a specific frame within the main timeline only after it has finished playing the movieclip backwards. I can get the movieclip to play backwards fine but it's getting the main timeline to start from frame 1 which doesn't work. I have the following code on the first frame of the movieclip (which is called video) but it doesn't seem to do anything.[code]
I've used this code to go from one frame to the next
function backframe(event:MouseEvent):void { this.prevFrame()
[code]....
Now it works fine until I get to the last frame. Once I get to the last frame then click to go back, it won't let me go forward until I go all the way back to frame 1.
I have a cool idea for an animation, but need it to play backwards at the end of it's timeline...how hard would this be to do?So, in essense it would play frames 1,2,3,4,5 then immediately 4,3,2,1 and then 2,3,4 and so on...
I built a website, and used flash buttons. The actionscript I have works great on them (AS3) using CS4 adobe suite, however, each of the buttons loads the page in a separate browser tab. Any clue how to fix it? Below is a copy of my AS3, and the buttons are as follows

I'm creating a little game right now, and so far I've got zooming on to the mouse position to work. However, I can't get panning to work. The only movie clip I have so far has the instance name of picnic.
Heres the code for my car to accelerate but how do I make one for reverse when the down key is pressed? I've tried all sorts but it is just not working properly. ActionScript Code: //When up key is pressed... if (keyUpPressed) { car.y -= ((90-carRotation)/90)*increment; if (((car.rotation > 90)&&(car.rotation < 180))||((car.rotation < -90)&&(car.rotation > -180))) { car.x += posNeg * (((((1-(carRotation/360))*360)-180)/90)*increment); [Code] .....
I have loaded an image from a particular site using loader..and added this loader in a Movieclip.. I want to zoom and pan theimage.. How to zoom particular area of a movieclip?
I want to have an fullscreen swf loaded inside another swf wich is embeded in the html pageSince it is fullsreen, no browser scrollbars will apear, but the content of my swf will be dinamic, so it is possible that the height of swf is bigger than browser window.
New to flash. Started usig it less than a week ago. I have tried to find the exact tutorial to help me with these things, but they didn't cover exactly what I was looking for, or they where AS2. I'm using AS3. I don't know how to add a zip file to this post, so I uploaded it to a webpage.[URL]..
Question 1: I'm using a panoramic image as the background for my site. I want it to scroll/pan side to side following the mouse as it moves side to side. I would like it to ease in and out of the motion as well.
Question 2: When the mouse moves over the menu text at the top I want the other navigation buttons to appear under it for a few seconds, and become active, then dissappear if un-clicked.
I have created a working flash file virtual_cube.swf in which I use Stage.align for panning. When virtual_cube is loaded from another swf (whhich I have no control over) the use of Stage uses the loader swf.I know _lockroot is nice for when using _root, is there something similar for Stage? like _lockStage?
My file is going great but I would like it to only pan right or left when the mouse reaches close to the edge and stop while I am working within the middle area. Here is my panning code and the file can be viewed at [URL].
Basically, I've got six different pictures as a background for my website. Like so: What I want to do is to have six different buttons that controls the panning of these six pictures. The problem is how to get from x to y, say from bottom right to top left. If the user press a button that is assigned to that background picture I want the pictures to be panned from its origin and sweep across the middle and then end up on the to left (hope this is clear).
I saw the Interactive Image Panning tutorial (great one) and i whould like to know what modifications can be made on the tutorial actionscript in order to pan more than one image.
I have just found this forum today and boy am I glad I did! I have done the tutotrial "Interactive Image Panning", and have applied it to a gallery I am trying to create, but I can't get the scrolling to stop when the gallery reaches the edge of the stage[URL]..
