ActionScript 2.0 :: Smooth Transition In Flash Button When HoverOver
Jan 19, 2009
I need to do a flash banner, where are 3 images (i had to cut down 2 images off from file, to be able to attach it)(all of them have text, contact button (clickable) and background box).When hoverover image:
-image changes to another
-image and background zooms to a bit bigger
-text changes to new
When hoverout, image changes back to it's original form.At the moment, I made buttons, of those 3 images.It works quit well, but transition to mouseOver is quit ruff..
I am creating a website with a content box and 4 buttons which activate 4 different pages of content. I would like the content box to resize smaller on one page when activated by a button and resize back to normal when clicked on any other button. I figure I will use a shape tween to resize the box to avoid distortion. So, how do I program each button to transition properly if the page with the smaller box is displayed?
But the problem with this is that even with creationPolicy set to all not all items seem to get initialized. This causeses the tweener animation to lag when clicking the "register" button the first time. after the first click, the animation is smooth.
I have a vector circle and what to do the following:I 'd like to animate it with tweenlite so it looks like a shockwave of an explosion. At first it fades in (from 0 to .5) and gets scaled and when it reaches half of the total animation time it fades out but it still gets scaled (hope you know what I mean).
Currently it looks horrible because I don't know how to get a smooth transition from part 1 to part 2 with TweenLite. My animation stops when reaching the end of part 1 and suddenly makes a jump to part 2.
Total time of animation: .75 sec total amount of scaling: 5
Say If I have an animation which runs to frame 80 and the loops. On a button press, it goes to frame 81 and continues from there. Currently, when the button is pressed, there is a very noticable jump from the current frame to frame 81. The lower the frame number in the loop, the more noticable the jump. Is there anyway I can say something in my button press like if current frame is less than 80, wait until it hits frame 80 until you go to 81? Hopefully, this would make the transition smoother.
have three tabs, the rollout and rollover work perfect, I'm using this code to make transition from over and out smooth: On the button:
on (rollOver) { portfolio.goBack = false; portfolio.play();[code]....
MovieClip.prototype.rewind = function () { if (goBack && (_currentframe>1)) {gotoAndStop (_currentframe-1);}};
And on the movie clip:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) { this.rewind(); }
Inside the movie clip, has a bunch of tweens, and on frame one I declare the variable and get the y position of another movie clip (the one that is moving in the tweens) It's instance name is portfolio_graph.On frame 1:
var y_portfolio; // y position of the movie clip that I'm tweening y_portfolio = portfolio_graph._y;
And on frame 51 is where it should go when it's pressed.
Y Starting point hosting_graph._y = y_hosting; // Y Ending point[code]..... W hen I press, it disapears the first time. When I do move my mouse over another button ( each button affects the other two ) portfolio_graph moves to roughly -17 ( eye-balled it ).. actually looking at it again, it looks like its playing from halfway through the animation and in reverse.
I have an FLV intro that plays on my first frame. After the video is complete, it goes to the second frame in the timeline. The final frame of the video mathces frame 2 in my timeline, BUT there is a small hiccup at the end of the video when trantsitionning to the timeline! How can I have this 2 blend? So that the end of the video and the 2 frame (where my navigation resides) are seamless?
right direction but theres still something I'm missing.At this point, I am able to load the initial swf into a container MC and store that info into acurMovie variable. When another button is pressed, curMovi checks if it equals event.target.name, if it doesn't equal "curMovie", it plays the existing movies outro What I thought I could do was create a conditional statement checking if the outro has reached the total frames, and if so, load the next swf. This isnī workingThis is what I have so far:

Code: part 1 of 2: TweenLite.to(blastwave, .375, {alpha:.5, transformAroundCenter:{scale:2.23}, onComplete:blastScaleFadeOut, onCompleteParams:[blastwave]});
part 2 of 2: private function blastScaleFadeOut(object:DisplayObject, time:Number = .375, scaleVal:Number = 4.46) { TweenLite.to(object, time, {alpha:0, transformAroundCenter:{scale:scaleVal}, onComplete:backgroundSprite.removeChild, onCompleteParams:[object]}); }
Im trying to update the Transitions between External SWFs tutorial for AS 3 (link below). [URL] I looked at a few tutorials that would help steer me in the right direction but there's still something I'm missing. At this point, I am able to load the initial swf into a container MC and store that info into a curMovie variable. When another button is pressed, curMovie checks if it equals event.target.name, if it doesn't equal "curMovie", it plays the existing movies outro. What I thought I could do was create a conditional statement checking if the outro has reached the total frames, and if so, load the next swf.
Basically I want to make a navigation with a seemless transition. One with an intro but NO outro so to speak. I've also skimmed through kirupa to look for similar scripts and I've found a couple of interesting scripts but don't really know how to append and reorganize em into global.functions and other stuffz.
MovieClip.prototype.backward = function() { this.gotoAndStop(this._totalframes); this.onEnterFrame = function() { this.gotoAndStop(this._currentframe-1); If you can have a -1 can you also play the timeline frames by typing 1 instead? [Code] .....
I started creating a site using the Smooth Transition tutorial and came upon a problem and would like to ask for some advice. I was able to go through the tutorial without any problems. I than moved my button(s) to an external swf file that gets called. No problem here as well, i just added a _root. to a few places.
Now in this swf, I have a mc and in this mc i placed the button but it stopped working. I didn't think the path would be any different but I was wrong. Here is the current AS I have with the button in the external swf's main timeline:

I have a motion tween that is 180 frames in length. When the tween ends on the last frame and returns to the first frame to replay there is a slight jump in the tween. Is there anyway to stop the tween from jumping from last frame to the first?

ok so im trying to create a sort of SMOOTH transition between swfs.
the problem im having is, targeting a specific label when i need it.
what i mean is, i can target it fine by tpecasting my external as a MC, but...it doesnt give me the desired effect.
for example, i want it so that when a button is pressed, go and play the "outro" frame inside the external swf, at the end of that same external swf, theres an " end" label, when that label is reached. something happens etc.
my problem is that when i hit the button, at the time of that event firing, the "end" is null or rather undefined because it hasnt reached there yet and i get an error or if i do a if/else statement, then i get the else part firing off since again, "end" isnt reached yet when the button is pressed.
i dont know how to make it fire when the "end" label is reached.
i tried while loops but...no good lol. thing froze flash for a bit until it did fire, by then it was a mess lol.
heres my code:
Code: stop(); var loader:Loader = new Loader(); var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("indexCoontentLoad.swf");
[Code].....
ive added a " here i get lost" comment to indicate the part im lost in/cant figure out how to write.
overall, what i hope to achieve is that when the "end" label is reached, something happens. else, just keep playing until it is reached.
I have approximately five external movies I am loading into one main movie. I load the movies using various buttons in the main movie.
My issue is this...I press a button and the first movie loads and then runs to the end of the timeline. Works great.When a push a second button the second movie loads and runs to the end of the timeline. Works great also.but I hate how there is a blank space between the movies.
All the movies start with a white stage and end with full graphics. When I press a second button, the movie on the stage disappears immediately and I am left with a white stage for a few seconds while the loading movie animates onto the stage.
I want there to be a cross-fade or some effect that allows the loaded movie to remain on the stage while the second movie is loading. Is there a way to make this happen?
I'm including the code I have for loading movies so you can see what I am working with thus far.
So I can tween shapes and such for their colours, but when I try to colour tween text, it won't work. I've tried various things, motion tween, shape tween, making them movie clips, making them graphics, ect. How do I make text tween between colours to get a nice smooth transition?
i have looked everywhere for a tutorial on this - i have tried writing, and re-writing codes....i just cant get it. is there any tutorial i overlooked? here is what im looking to do - NO SHORTCUTS: have my main file that loads the buttons, my external swf container, my intro animations, and my swf "out" and "in" animations when a button is clicked i want it to point me to specific frame labels. i will have an "out" and "in" frame label and which will be the locations of the transitional starting points i want it to play the "out" transition, than unload the current swf, than play the in transition, than load the swf of the button that was clicked i want the animations to all be done using frame labels all within the MAIN swf file.... i have had no luck doing this....and i do NOT like the tween class....
I created a movie clip which plays ok. But when it ends there is a slight jump, if you will, when it goes back to frame 1 to begin playing again. Does anyone know how to make the transition unnoticeable from the last frame of a movie clip to the first frame of a movie clip?
I have a movieclip that I want to be resized when a button is clicked. I want the animation to be smooth as if it had weight though. I read the tutorial on this but I need something slightly different, I would rather it where I can just refer to a function that is set in another movieclip. That way I could easily refer to it again and just set the height, width, and if possible, x, and y.
And my second question, is how to keep the border of my movieclip that is going to be resized the same thickness. I want the inside to be resized but the sides to stay the same width but move to stay on the edge.
I've been following the tutorial "Creating Smooth Button Animation in Flash": urL...As with most menus, when the button is selected it needs to stay highlighted so the user knows which section they are in. The tutorial left this bit out.I've been unsuccessful so far. Can anyone help finish it?[code]
I am playing around with AS3 and what I'm trying to do is pretty simple. I have a little test FLA: http:[url]......There is a button that when you scroll over it the alpha goes up to .90 and when you mouse off it it goes back down to .50 alpha.This is all controled by Tween in AS3. The 3 problems that I'm having are:
1) How to define a variable that that is a number that has a blank value like with a string its:
Code: var test:String = "";
Right? But I have no idea how do do the same thing with a number var.
2) Next thing that I'm confused about it there a way to get a smooth mouse alpha tween on the button. Like as it currenlty is when you mouse over it goes from .50 to .90% alpha. See this isn't all that bad but if you mouse over the button again real fast before the tween goes back to .50 it looks like it get lighter really fast and then gets darker.
3) Finally when you click the replay button the button alpha jumps down to .50 no matter what. You have to actully mouse off and then mouse back on for it to go back up to .90 like it should be when your mouse is hovering on the button.
I'm building a site with six pages. Each page is contained in a movie clip with a transition in and a transition out with stop(); in the middle. What I'm trying to do is trigger the transition out from page A to transition in page B.Example;
Button A is clicked and transition in is played in mc_A. mc_A is then stoped in the middle.
Button B is clicked and plays transition out in mc_A then contunus to transition in in mc_B.
How can I add a Squeeze transition effect between frames using the transition manager class on a simple slideshow using the goBack and goForward functions in ActionScript3? Below is the code I have so far:
stop(); function goBack(event:MouseEvent):void {[code].....
i have a flex app that transitions between 2 states with the toggle of a button. my issue is that the effect of fading only seems to work on the 2nd transition and after. However, for my first transition... going from State1 to studyState... there is no fade effect whatsoever, in fact the components in state1 disappear completely (the footer fills the empty gap where the "body" use to be) and then the flex recreates the studyState (without any fade refilling the "body" with components only in studyState). After this first transition however, going between studyState and State1 working COMPLETELY fine.. why does this happen and how can i make it so that crossfade works STARTING FROM THE VERY FIRST TRANSITION?[code]
