I am trying to build a flash where I have a shoe and a bunch of stickers (images set to be symbols) which can be dragged and dropped onto the shoe as decorations. I have figured out how to drag drop and rotate the images onto the shoe. The problem I face now is how to make a scrollable list of the images that can be placed onto the shoe. I have approx 140 sticker images. I was wondering two things....
1. Not so much is it possible, because virtually anything is possible. Is there a relatively easy way to have something like a scrollable thumbnail gallery of x amount of objects from which the object can be dragged from and onto another area of the flash. This leads me to my next question...
2. How can I keep the original image within the gallery?
I was thinking something like a scrolling image gallery of thumbnails so that you could move back and forth through the list looking for the image you want. And then I was wondering to myself is there some sort of command to copy the selected image (symbol) when it is clicked and dragged?
I've been scouring forums and such and really haven't found anything that I think I can use, but then this flash mx is new to me, so I'm not the best at it.
i am trying to build a scrollable menu in flash using xml.i want it to display multiple options, once an option is chosen i want it to display another menu in its place with different options.
I've looked at a lot of the posts on this site and still can't seem to create a really simple scrollable dynamic menu from XML. Would anyone be able to tell me how to create something like this,(Click on November to see what I mean).I'm going nuts! I just want to get something simple working, then I can start to focus on the design
I have built simple scrollable list menu for my mobile app - this is just a simple table with 1 column and there is a small jpg and description text in every row. This is built using the ScrollPane component (with scrollDrag enabled) - and within scrollPane every table row is simply a button object. This all scrolls and works just fine.
When you scroll the list - and when you let go your finger to scroll further it thinks that you've clicked and it opens the link. I am using onClick event at the moment (but also tried TapHandler) and they all do the same thing, they work but you can accidentally open unwanted menu item. How to separate swipe from just tap event in the code, so user doesn't accidentally opens the link?
a) scrollable menu where my multiple image of png will load into b) multiple (could also be one image) of png images that will gradually appear into the same folder where my .fla file is. c) a layer of frame (more of a window, it's scrollable upwards & downwards) - the place for my original sized png image to appear d) dropdown menu - that will contain form1, form2, form3 [form1, form2, form 3 will represent which part of the png image willl be shown in (b): form1 = top, form2 = middle, form3 = bottom]
1) a png image (possible that the png image will come in multiple) will load into my flash movie automatically, specifically all of them will load on a scrollable menu one after another, side by side with the png image size reduced to fit into the menu.
2) once i click one of the png image on the menu, the image will appear beneath its [like what i've explained in (c)]. this image is scrollable only upwards & downwards within the windowframe, and it should be the original size (not the reduced one to be fit into the menu)
3)below, there's a dropdown menu [i've explained in (d)] that will be chosen from, let's say form1 is chosen. the window where the scrollable png image is, will show the part where i set form1 is for.
I used this tut to create a menu. [URL] And my question is; Can I make the slider to move after a movie clip symbols instead of button symbols? That way my menu would be animated.
I'm working through a book called Foundation Game Design with Flash, and I'm finding the Flash IDE confusing. I've been programming for several years, so working with AS3 directly is far easier than trying to understand symbols and nested symbols and the difference between graphics and movie clips and scoping issues and all that -- when tied into the IDE.
How many of you who are making games in AS3 also use the Flash IDE? Can anyone recommend a resource that is AS3 heavy and Flash IDE light? I don't care how much time I may or may not save by using things like the timeline, I just want to understand what I'm using.
I'm attempting to use CS4 (PC/Vista, if that matters) to create a SWF file that will basically act as a "library" of commonly used symbols. This SWF would be loaded at runtime by other SWFs, which could then use the symbols within it, including all art and code assets.
I have created this site with a expanding / collapsin menu. When a user selects a menu e.g. "hammers" then the menu is loaded and show the submenues. When the users closes the menu by moving the mouse away from the area the menu collapses. If the user expands the menu again the menu should have remember the last visit menu and show the menu.
I'm working on a project where I need to make a scrollable textarea. But it needs a little perspective.. like the star wars intro text, but not so extreme.
URL...For loading the text from a txt document i am using the following code (which is the same as Kirupa's code - except for the names)[code]If i declare the value of the variable "scrollableText" within the actions panel then it works.
Anyone know how to make scrollable text on mouse over ( the text will scroll upward or downward depending on the position of the mouse to explain myself ). Im using AS2; is AS even needed..It would be nice too, if the you can control the speed of the text.
i want to add new Menu in flash IDE and i want to add inside the adobe flash menu. How i can add new menu in menubar and new menu item inside the help menu. is it possible to do this things if yes then which language i have to use for this. what is way to start development and what is the .MXP file and how to create this .MXP file.
The menu is like this http:[url]... (the site is in portuguese but it doesnt matter), when I click in on menu the actual menu does an alpha to 0 and the next menu appears using the alpha from 0 to 100 (and some animations like the cellphone going up).Now, how can I do a menu like that, whatever the menu I choose, it does that alpha animation ?
Ok, so I got this huge image of a map. I put a Mask over it so it will fit on a small screen. But....I want users to be able to view the whole map but click on arrow buttons that will transfer them in all 4 directions. I know I can do this with keyframes, showing different parts of them map each stage....But isn't there a simplier way? Some sort of actionscript code that will tell flash to scroll how many pixels left or right or up or down? And that it will know that the image will stop here so don't scroll more than that?
I've got my canvas size at 900x600 pixels, the text i want on the screen is too large for the site's design, so i want to have the text in the middle with 2 scroll buttons UP - DOWN on the right hand side of the text. [let me point out i dont want the scrollbar from components cos it doesnt go with my sites colors]. So thats not an option.
I looked online and it said 'make a text box, select 'scrollable' then create a button and right click and type in the following into the actions' but when i right click the buttons actions i always get 'current selection cannot have actions applied to it' There was a reason i stopped using flash, and it seems ive stumbled upon that reason again, im reading tutorials on the CS3 Pro version which is the one i have and what its telling me to do is not possible.
Text Button UP, Button DOWN Click DOWN text scrolls down Click UP text scrolls up
How can I slap a bunch of movieclips on the screen and make them fit in an area like a pane.....and make them scrollable....I thought this would be easy using the scroll pane......ormaybe i'm just loosing it....i can only add one clip as the source and it becomes scrollable.......but i dont know how to make a bunch of them scrollable.....I tried adding a bunch of movieclips to one movieclip and make that the source of the scroll pane....but it doesnt want to scroll...
I am trying to create a scrollable banner flash, exactly like [url]... does it. I have all of the adobe products. Is this kind of thing hard to create?
i have ths scrollable movieclip that i want to add easing to by do not no how... Can someone share there knowledge into showing me how to do this? Im sure i need tweennano lite or something like that right?
I created a small rectangle and made it into a symbol movie clip. then I went inside of it and added a small 100x100 image on the left side along with a description of the image on the right side filling up the rest of the space.
I now want to somehow put it in a container that will automatically add a vertical scrollbar on the right side and somehow add more rectangles on top of each other. perhaps the scroll bar wont be initially on the screen until the container fills to have more than 5 rectangles in it or so.
Is there a component I can extend somehow to add this kind of functionality or does one already exist that I can use?
I want to put scrollable text on a page. It was a template I purchased and was finished and ready to post but wanted to add more text in a scrollable text box. First, my components did not appear in the components window so I had to go to Publish Settings and set it Actionscript 2.0 and they appeared. Great! I created a text box, made the text dynamic, multiline, I see Instance_1 and dragged the UI scroller where it should go. (Yes scrollable text is highlighted) After a thousand attempts it never recognizes it.
I can do it no problem when I create a new movie (a hundred times) just can't get it work in this movie. Yet I can scroll down the text with my mouse but I can't EVER see the scrollbar... When I switch the settings to Actionscript 3 . When I drag the Scroller it says "A component already exists..." then asks me to use or replace. Is there something in this template I need to delete?
i have this web sore I'm trying to work on just trying to keep it basic but user friendly my main problem i am having is it carry's over the images to the next frame they disappear after 3 or so minutes but then when you drag another item into the cart it erases what has been dropped in before
so really what I'm looking to do is i want to be able to keep my pictures, text, drag and drop capabilities, and so on i just want to be able to put it all into a scrolling box
that way the user can scroll through and add items without having images over laying on the next page after they were added to the cart and so on any way to see what I'm working with
I have a screenshot in a scrollable field (Flash CS3/4) and have put a button on the screenshot so when the user clicks it's supposed to call up a movie clip of bubble with a description of the section. I'm not finding the best way to call this movie clip up.
I am using the scroll code from tutorials and it's working beautifully.
Except, scrollable content gets updated via XML and once that happens, viewable content location resets to the initial y position, which is the top of the content.
Since the height of the content movieclip changes - either reduce or increase - scroll function is called each time, but, it'd be desirable to leave the viewing location the way it was before update. So the user doesn't have to scroll back down to where they were. And update occurs every so often by a timer.
I'm trying to make the scroller to scroll by pressing the 'r' and 'l' buttons. Right and left subsequently. Anyway, it doesn't work. I've used a setInterval function but I'm having trouble getting it activated with the listener function set up for the keys.
ActionScript Code:
ok, tried to make an edit, but the computer I'm using messed up the format of the code, I'll be back later to post the original code when I get back to my regular computer. Anyway, there might be enough info below to figure it out.
I'm working on an expo, and I want to make an installment with a screen displaying a slideshow of some 5000 (fairly lo-res) pictures from a photo booth, and one of these scroll wheels beneath to have the user/viewer being able to scroll through it. When no-one is scrolling, the slide show is looping through as normal.I'm under the impression that it's a quite memory consuming task to load in pictures and displaying them for Flash, so therefore I wonder if this is even possible to do in for instance a Flash projector without consuming too much memory and getting massive stuttering and lag?
how to create a custom scroll bar without using the UI components. Unfortunately, the author has deleted the video but still provides the source files which I have began to pick apart. Although this scroll bar works great, I am working on a movieclip of scrollable thumbnails that only uses buttons to scroll and not the scrollbar it self. it seems as though the buttons control the movie clip based on the position of the scroll bar/scroller.
Here is the url of the tutorial page (the source files can be downloaded): [URL] I have also attached the code that is used to control the scrollbar.
provide the code that would only use the buttons to smoothly control the timeline? Or show some altercations of the code that would make this work properly.
