I have a circle movieclip that needs to rotate to certain destinations depending on buttons pressed in the navigation. Everything works fine, except when you go from green to cyan and vice versa, it does a full 360 rotation instead of just moving to the destination.
View 13 RepliesThe first prob I had was when i used the load movie command the swf file was loading in the wrong position, it kept loading down and across the page. I had
PHP Code:
_root.myemp.loadMovie("banner.swf", 0);
I dont know why this is happening but I just fixed this by doing:
_root.myemp._x = 0
_root.myemp._y = 0
The next problem Im having is that I want to change the frame depending on which button was pressed. If button two was pressed I wanted to load "banner.swf" and gotoAndStop("pg2"), If button three is pressed gotoAndStop("pg3")Ive tried some things but cant get this part right such as:
_root.myemp.gotoAndStop("pg2")
"banner.swf".gotoAndPlay
I just dont know the syntax...
I have started to make an interactive movie where pushing keys moves a movie clip around the stage! And I can obviously make the movie clip do what I want, so here is the question: I want to make the movie clip change its animation depending on which keys are being pushed i.e. Left key the movie clips moves left, and my stick man changes to a running animation. Push nothing and it changes back to his standing still animation.
View 2 RepliesRight I only want to play a certain part of my MovieClips Timeline depending on the button pressed.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
CircleLineMC.KingsCross.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, KingsCrossBtn);
function KingsCrossBtn(event:MouseEvent):void {
BigSquare_MC.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
But I want it to play only up to frame 50 and then stop there and then loop instead of playing the whole timeline, does anyone know How to do that.
I want something to rotate ONCE only when the left key is pressed, but i can't figure it out.
View 4 RepliesEssentially I'm just trying to rotate an object (mc) clockwise or anticlockwise depending on the value of a variable called 'angle'.If 'angle' is positive it should go anticlockwise.If 'angle' is negative it should go clockwise.
Option 1
PHP Code:
if(angle > 0) {
mc.rotation += rotateIncrement;
}

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a navigation system that relies on the user dragging on a wheel in order to rotate it into a specific position: [URL]. The problem I have is that whenever a drag is initiated, the wheel jumps to a position where it points the zero-rotation point (indicated in the example by the red dashline) at the mouse direction. Whenever the drag is ended, the wheel stays at the position where the mouse has left it, which is correct.
However, when another drag is initiated, the same thing reoccurs - the dashed red line jumps to point towards the direction of the mouse. In short, I need the wheel to drag/rotate directly from the position where it was previously left or where it is by default. It shouldn't matter from which position the user drags the wheel. The code is located in the script of the wheel-movieClip, and is as follows:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame){
this.onPress = function(){
// when the mouse presses on the wheel
this.onMouseMove = function(){
// get an angle to the mouse using atan2 (gets radians)
var angle = Math.atan2(this._parent._ymouse-this._y,this._parent._xmouse-this._x);

How to implement it so that the wheel rotation is independent from the position of mouse, while it is dragged.

I can see how lacking the code is, and I can see why it does what it does. I just can't figure out how to implement it so that the wheel rotation is independent from the position of mouse, while it is dragged.
I'm doing my final year uni project (1 week left) and having trouble with some actionscripting and xml.Basically I have all the usual AS coding sorted out for my XML data and it's working fine but what I want to do is replace the xml file with another xml file depending on what button (I have 25 different files/buttons to do) is pressed.
So button 1 will put in: xmlFile.load("button1.xml")Button 2 will replace the above scripting with: xmlFile.load("button2.xml")
Is this possible? I don't want to create 25 instances/frames of the full xml text as the xml datat is displayed on an animation and it would significantly increase the file size.
I'm trying to put together a sideshow using a modification of load_images.fla (a sample file supplied with Flash) combined the the 'Kirupa Menu with Slider' tutorial ([URL]) The slideshow uses a 'next' & 'previous' button to click thought the images. In addition to this I have a separate slide menu navigation (currently just numbers 1-7), with a rectangle highlighting the number of the image being viewed. I would like to move the rectangle to show which image is being viewed, when the 'next' or 'previous' button is pressed. The follow code shows the actionscript for the 'next' & 'previous' buttons....

In my Flex app, I use one remote object and multiple destinations. Is that a bad idea? It seems to be working just fine except for the one or two fringe cases:It's bad design, but we use the same method name on two different destinations and they seem to conflict when they're called at the same time. Logging errors show a method assigned to one destination as being associated with another.

View 2 RepliesI have the following AS2 code which creates dynamic buttons based on an array:
Code:
var labels_array:Array = new Array({label_txt:">> arquitectura industrial", gotoX:"partners"}, {label_txt:">> edificaci�n", gotoX:"team"});
var initX:Number = 0;

the variable nextX places a new button every given number of pixels, in this case 140px. What I'll like to do is to make this value dynamic so that a new button is placed taking into account the width of the preceding button, plus a certain number of pixels.

my fla file will be attached below. (its not the greatest looking thing but i just need to understand how to do what i want it to). i've got a navigation menu at the bottom of my stage with 2 movieclips. each movieclip has an instance of a button inside, a motion tween of a _alpha graphic flying in, and text to distinguish each button.
my problem #1: on the stage when you hit 'home', it'll fly in, but when you hit 'schedules' next, that will fly in too, right over anything i would have placed on 'home'. i'd like to prevent that by maybe having an outro animation (like a reverse of the intro animation) that can check whether another button was pressed before playing & when its completely off the stage, to play the next content corresponding to the button pressed.
my problem #2: i dont like how everytime when on the stage, i press the 'home' button or 'schedules' button multiple times, that they keep replaying the animation. i'd like it to know that its already been pressed & doesnt need to play again. i have a feeling this problem might be an easier one to figure out but i'm drawing a blank with it.
I have a navigation that contains approx 8 movieclips that are actually acting as buttons but I'm having trouble getting them to work.I am currently testing 2 buttons/mcs at the moment. Which are named and have the script on the actions layer. The problem is, that when either button is pressed, it is registering both buttons as being pressed.[code]
View 3 RepliesI�v build a simple flash projector to offer to my local fire department Essentially they used to in internal audio alarms to warn firefighters when there is an accident, fire, aggression, etcIn the version 1.0 they click several buttons, one to play the alarm sound, otherto announce the vehicle or vehicles that goes out, and a last one that says what is occurring.
The problem they report is that the sounds play immediately when you click in each of the buttons, and even the sound overlaps the other, which makes they click on each button and have to wait for the sound to finish and then click next. All this is normal because I associated the sounds to the buttons. What do I need to do the flash in this order in the version 2 of my projector:
1 The Fireman choose the type of alarm you want to play and click the button corresponding (but do not want the sound to play now) let's imagine that he pressed the button "alarm 1"
2 The Fireman choose (s) vehicles which are going out to the occurrence (but do not want the sound to play now) let's imagine that pressed the button "ABSC01"
3 The Fireman choose the type of occurrence (but do not want the sound to play now) we will imagine that pressed the button "fire"
4 finally the fireman holding down the "PLAY" (the green on on the top of the image) and this Makes the sounds selected to start playing in sequence, liker "Alarm 1" then "ABSC01 "and then" Fire "
Logically speaking I believe that each button must declare a variable associated with every unique sound, and then pressing the button takes the variables and plays them in sequence and without overlapping sounds.

I quite often have to create portfolio sites which have a list of projects on the lefthand side. When each project is clicked the relevent content is loaded into the main screen. I'm now moving towards creating such sites where the menu content is XML driven.
What I want to know is, what is the BEST way to do the old radio button style thing where the clicked button changes state (eg. colour) and the when another button is clicked, it returns to it's up state.
I've done this before, when I've created the buttons manually, by creating a 'clicked' variable that can either be true or false for each button, the value of which is changed when a button is clicked. The problem with this (I think) is that it relies upon me knowing how many buttons I have, and if this is driven by XML that is going to get messy.
What I'm after is a very simple, self contained method of setting a button's state when it is clicked (no problem), but then 'unclicks' when any other button in the menu is pressed.
i need to know how to make the silder which rotat object and how can i tell buttons to rotate or resize. i mean when you drag an object what happen to tell buttons to this object is the active one.
