I have been sent this website. When you click on an option from the menu, the menu and the background fade out to bring in a new background. The problem I am having is that I am trying to stop the menu fading out and just have the background change.The flash file for the part of the website I am working on can be found here:

how can i change accordion menu bar background or text ?
View 5 RepliesI tired Menu, its working fine. In this i can able to change background color and other styles also.
But my need is, individual background color for each and every item added in Menu.
My requirement is, say for example..
[Code].....
I want to create a background that is made up of circles of different opacity levels. I would like the circles to continue to fade in and out while you are viewing animation. I was wondering what the best way to go about this is, using actionscript 3.
View 0 RepliesI have a quick question about fading a bg color using actionscript. I am creating a splash page at 800x600 in flash, which is being opened into a new window that fills the browser of the users screen. I already have the actionscript to open into a full browser window.
However, when the user clicks on a button in the 800x600 splash, the bg color in the full browser window will need to change from blue to white. What would be the best way to do this, is there a piece of actionscript that can be attached to a button to do this? Or does a large flash document size need to be created with the 800x600 centered in the middle?
I'm currently working on this site, which was made on a linear timeline and just rewinds and fast fowards to the frame with each page on [URL]
This was done with limited Actionscript, but now I need to redo it almost entirely in AS
I figure I need to keep everything on one frame (separate vertical frames, but no animation horizontally) and create movieclips for each page's content and tell it to fade in the content of whatever page is clicked on the nav, and fade out the rest. I will also need to do the same, but with the background images in fullscreen. I also have a problem with the bottom nav. It adjusts to window height on resize, but I can't get it to adjust automatically.
So how do I
1. Tell the movieclips to fade in and out when a button is clicked
2. Get the background images to fit full screen, and also fade in/out for each page
3. Get a movieclip to adjust to screen size without using onResize
I've read through several tutorials but I must be doing something wrong on this. I'm using Adobe Flash Pro CS4. I am trying to create a short clip that fades text in over a bacground video. When I create a motion tween on the text track, I'm generating an error and the background video is no longer visible in the preview. Instead, I see the text over the stage background color. It is as if the background video track has switched to wireframe. Here are the steps I've followed:
1. Created Flash File (ActionScript 3.0).
2. Imported Video into the State background layer - it appears as a black image in the it previews fine at that point
3. Created new layer for text and placed text - it previews fine at this point, text is overlaying video
4. I right click on the text block and choose convert to symbol.
5. Next with the play head on the first frame and the Text layer selected I choose Create Motion Tween. This is when AFP throws this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at fl.video::UIManager/http://www.adobe.com/2007/flash/flvplayback/internal::hookUpCustomComp onents() at [code]...
Here I've a sound track included in timeline from first frame (not in actionscript).
And after intro, I've a video button where I added a video with sound which starts to play by clicking
Now the problem is both background music & video sound mixing & creates a noise kinda combination.
I need a solution like fading out the background music if i click the video button & fading in when clicking some other button or navigating to other pages?[code]...
I have a flash file with a background music sound object, and I have a video player at a particular section on the timeline. When the playback head goes to the section with the video player, I would like the background music to fade, but of course, I need the volume to be up for the video. The code I have works find to fade the audio, but the problem is that the video's sound also turns off.
This is the code at the beginning of the timeline:
_global.volumeVar = 40; //Stores the current volume.
bgSound = new Sound(this); //This block works finebgSound.attachSound("music");bgSound.start(0,99);
bgSound.setVolume(0);
[Code] .....
Further down the time line, in the video player section, there this code, which works to fade the sound, but seems to turn off the video, too:
nInterval = setInterval(fadeOutSound, _global.volumeVar);
I have assembled a preloader using the method from this site, everything seem to work except for one problem My site supposed to start from a black background and the image fading in. However once I placed the preloader the image dose not fade in but appears right away to the full strength after the preloader gone to 100% Looks like it jumps to a few frames after the first frame of the main swf file. Please take a look at [URL] If you reload again you will see how the image fade in.
View 1 RepliesI made a box that is 3x3px and it fades in, now I want it to change size from 3x3 to 300x300px. Now how would this be done? here is my code so far:
Code:
// create the box
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("Box", 100);
//starting alpha
[code]...
I want the box to change size while it is fading in.So fare I've tried scale and width but those change the border size too, which is really annoying because I end up with a 100px border and a 100px box, not exactly what I was going for.
i was jus doin that fading grid tutorial for fun and i was wondering what i would have to change to have the grip fade in, in random spots. like instead of having it fade in like left to right or up and down. but to have it fade in through random spots.

Is there any way to change a context menu that already has been personalized. I have an small application that I purchased to learn with and also to save some time. When I right click the context menu appears with the other person's information in it. I want to change that information if it is possible to do so. I tried
var my_menu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
my_menu.hideBuiltInItems();
contextMenu = my_menu;
and added my info but the menu will not change from the person I got the app from. Is this considered unethical or illegal? I put so much work into this, I don't want the person to get credit for it.
I can't work out why - but when I try to fade out some text (by calling fadeoutSecondText), the text fades out, and then immediately fades back in. Fading in and out struggle against each other, resulting in rapidly flashing text!

I've inherited a website with a huge (2.5MB) flash menu system and would like to know if there is an elegant way to load it in the background from maybe an intro page that redirects to the home page after a certain amount of time - or possible when the menu is done loading.

View 3 RepliesIm trying to animate a scrolling background which is simple enough. I dont want the background animation to scroll when the game is first loaded, I only want it to begin scrolling after the play button is clicked.
Ive used stop(); command in the first line of the MovieClip instance that is the back ground.
Some things I have tried
- Coding in flash to scroll the background, add a check to see once the background reached a certain x.position on the stage, it would addChild the same instance, where it originally was located and repeat the scroll process. I couldnt get this work, but would be intersted to see how you guys would approach it.
-Tried using a gotoAndPlay(2); in the movieclip last key frame to repeat the process. This causes the animation to chop up. I tried using this several diffrent ways, I could get it work at one point. But the background would scroll before the button was even clicked, I couldnt figure out a work around.
I'm trying to stop my back groun from scrolling when it reaches end of the back ground .it's not working....
var sceneTwo:Number = sceneTwoSprite.width-stage.stageWidth; var negate1:Number = Math.abs(sceneTwoSprite.x); var difference2:Number = Math.abs(sceneTwo);
if ((sceneTwoSprite.x)+sceneTwoSprite.width <= stage.stageWidth) {
sceneTwoSprite.x == stage.stageWidth + difference2; }
I am trying to make a horzontial flash scrolling background and I cant seem to get it to stop at the last frame.
[Code]....
Currently i am using this actionscript to move my bg:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(!Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
Mouse.hide();
this._x =-_root._xmouse+400;
this._y =-_root._ymouse+200;
}
}
This makes it so the background will follow my mouse, and when i press up key it will stop following, but when i let go it will still follow, i want it to stop perminantly even after i lift my up key without haveing a new frame involved.
again fixed, now all i need to know is how to pause the background, and then have it continue playing when the "aim" animation is finished.
heres the AS2.0 of the actions: // set counter
counter = 0;
fire_button.onRelease = function(){

I wanted to put there a background that will change (fade out and than fade in another one) according to menu position. It would load external *.swf's. For example I'm in "A" and the background is "bg01.swf", after clicking "B" the "bg01.swf" background would unload/stop (fade out) and than the "bg02.swf" would fade in and start to animate. I can't put the right script in the menu system. The source files are attached to this post (Flash CS3 source file and the backgrounds):

View 1 Repliesive created a character loop for two characters that are in a walk cycle. when a button is pressed both characters change animation, now ONE of the characters is doing what i want it to, which is, change from walk to aim, then back to walk. but the other character is going from one animation to the second, and then just continuing to loop the second animation.

I have created a simple soundboard, with multiple buttons that play sounds upon release. These sounds are embedded within the 'hit' frames of the buttons. Only one can be played at once, so this has been applied to each button:
on (press){stopAllSounds ();}
This all works as planned so far. However, I would like to have a background music feature that would be exempt from the "stopAllSounds" command and thus able to keep playing regardless of what buttons were pressed (or until a designated stop button was pressed).
I am working on a website that has 11 sounds in one frame. All of the sounds are external, meaning I have to call each one of them every time I want them to play, which happens when I click on specific MCs in my stage. Each MC I click all sounds stop and the new one starts playing. So far, so good.
But therein lies the problem: I want this to happen but keep background music playing. I have no idea where to start from.
