how to achieve this effect. I saw a good example on this website [URL]. That is initially what I would to do. I've tried everything that I can think of, but i believe im just thinking to much.

Click on the first and second thumbnail a few times so that everything is loaded (I didn't use preloaders etc for now).Notice the wipe when you click the thumbnail? I spent already a long time to create this :-)But now I want it to wipe out if you click another button, then wipe in again to show that new image etc... (like it is now, you have a white flash, really annoying).Here's my code that is on frame 1 of the timeline (I only have 1 frame in the timeline)
[Code]...
'navi' is the MC with all the buttons in it. 'vol01' and 'vol02' are instance names of the first two buttons. 'container' is an empty movieclip. 'wiper' is a white MC of which I change the width with actionscript = wiping effect.For now I load .swf files instead of jpg's, because when I put ("pic_01.jpg") instead of ("pic_01.swf"), it doesn't work. (edit: I found it, my jpgs were progressive...)
So basically what I want when the first pic is shown and you click on thumbnail2:
-wipe out image currently displayed
-load new image (pic_02)
-AFTER new image is fully loaded, wipe in to show this image and so on
What would be cool also is the following:
when you click button 2, load image 2 while image 1 is still displayed. When loading is finished, a white line goes from left to right, wiping out image 1 and at the same time wiping in image2.Note that there will be 4 of these galleries with +-80 thumbnails each...I read the transitions between external swf's tutorial, but I want to load a bunch of jpg's, and not make 4*80 swf's with each only 1 jpg in it...
I have 4 movies that need to be loaded in sequence. The first movie loads the second one, the second one loads the third, then the third one loads the fourth. What I can't figure out is how to make sure there's only one movie loaded at any time. I've tried removeChildAt(0) and other methods. What's the best way to load a movie to the stage and wipe out what was on the stage?
View 4 RepliesWhenever someone clicks on a nav button, the corresponding .swf file loads into a blank movie clip I have on my home page. What I'd like to do is have the content on the current page fade out before the content on the new page fades in. I've used Flash for years, but this is the first web site I've built entirely in Flash, and I don't quite know how to approach this. I'm assuming ActionScript would be the easiest and most efficient way to produce this effect, but I don't know how to go about doing it. Is there a way to tell the current movie to go to a certain frame in the movie and play it before loading the next external movie clip?

I'm new to CS4 coming from Flash 8. How do you do a wipe or dissolve transition in CS 4. It used to be Timeline Effects/ Transition in Flash 8?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a wipe, where a bar expands vertically from the top to the bottom. This was accomplished with a motion tween. Now, I'm trying to use AS to duplicate that one bar across the screen, and this is done inside a movieclip, and the movieclip is on the main stage and it is setMask(my_mc); to reveal an image beneath.
Here's the code I'm using:
totalBars = Math.round(Stage.width/bars._width);
i = 0;
duplicate = function () {
if (i <= totalBars) {
i += 1;
bars.duplicateMovieClip("bars"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
this["bars"+i]._x = i*bars._width;
}else{
clearInterval(intervalID); }};
var intervalID = setInterval(duplicate, 10);
But it doesn't work!
Just a general question about trace statements. As I'm building a project I put a lot of them in there so I can see where I'm at if (more accurately: when) something goes amiss. The questions is... when I finally consider the program done should I leave them in there for possible future bug tracking or wipe them out of of the finished product?
View 2 RepliesSay I made var $temp[] an array and put stuff into it, could i then redeclare temp as var $temp = 4 or maybe var $temp[], another array, but completly clear? or would it hold a risidual? If not is it possible to wipe an arrays content? In java we used to dump and drop variables all over the place, a string could be an integer, then a char, then a float or a double at a whim.
View 5 RepliesI want to be able to make a movie clip (that acts as a button) so the roll over effect finishes before the roll off effect is triggered. Like if a marker circles a button, i want the circling animation to stop before the roll off effects happens. Anyone know how to do this.

I have set up a site I am building...real basic I know.rolling text boxes).So Here's my question...when you use the load movie command...in this case, I am using buttons on my main nav (level 0) to fire the load movie command for subpage swfs located on level 1...is there a script that I can write that would make the level 1 swf fade (dissolve) on using the _alpha command instead of just appearing (from thin air...like a cut in videospeak)???. Is there a way to create a similar transition for unloading the swf as well?
View 2 Replieshow can i make a fade in/out effect when im loading images?
View 2 RepliesAll I need is a simple example, of loading jpgs into flash as3 and a function for applying a transition effect on them. Something like:
Code:
import com.greensock.*;
TweenLite.to(image[1], 2, {alpha:1});
I have 2 buttons, and each of them have a movieclip. When I press button 1 a movieclip is played and the same happens with button 2. What I want is a transition effect. When people press button 2, things from button 1 has to live the screen with a transition, I mean, another movieclip.

View 2 RepliesCS3 Flash - Complete newbie to Flash and I'm trying to change an existing flash piece.It consists of 4 different text statements that appear on a Black background - the first appears and stays on-screen for 10 secs, then it starts to blur and fade away in about a sec, and then the next statement appears, etc, etc., and the whole lot loops.The 4 statements appear as Video Clips (Symbols?) in the library.I need to add a new statement, which means there will be 5 statements. I duplicated one of the library items and renamed it, which seems to have worked fine... but I cannot then work out how I insert that video clip into the Timeline and still have the same visual effects and timing as the existing ones? I can insert a blank frame, but then I can only drop the new video clip text onto that one frame.I've tried copying and pasting a whole set of frames, and then go in and change the text. Which I thought had worked, but then discovered that it also changed the original frames.... now understand that's because they are just instances and any change will affect the master Video Clip!
So can anyone advise if I can insert my newly added and renamed video clip into the timeframe and create the same effect as the others?Please keep any advice as idiot-proof as possible as this is my first venture into Flash... not finding it as intuitive as I hoped, spent 6hrs to date just trying trial and error without any real success.

View 9 RepliesI'm trying to set a special roll over effect for a movie clip i created. all i need to do is this: when i roll over, it should play from frame 2 and stop where i told him (at frame 5) when i roll out i want him to play from frame 6 and stop where i told him again. (at frame 10). i already did this with no problem except this: my movie clip has a very complex animation i created with other movie clips who works frame by frame style (actual animation). the problem is this: when i roll out after a short time (about half a second) the flash jumps to the rollout part of the movie clip and shows the rollout animation but doesn't finish the rollover animation, what makes the animation to jump (the animations i use is a bit long).
so i'm trying to see if anybody can explain to me how do i make this jump get out of my flash animation. what i mean is this : if i rollover the mouse and stays on the movie clip, the rollover animation is played and when i rollout out of the movie clip the animation continues as usual (this is something i already accomplished). but i want to make this a bit more complex : when i rollover and than right away roll out of the movie clip i want the flash to play the roll over animation and right after that the rollout animation without stopping .... ' i hope i made myself clear with this problem .... for some of you it may seem easy (using some action script tricks or something) but I'm only a beginner who's trying to figure it out ....
i went through the tutorial for the actionscript text effect... and i got it to work... but now i want to put it into a project as a movie clip, so it loops, but i can move it freely as an object... but when i put the whole thing into a movie clip, it only does the letter in the text box that i animated, and it only runs once...

I have created a movie in CS3 which is basically a series of images that scroll from right to left across the screen. Each image also has a url assigned to it so that clicking on that image takes you to another (external) website. It's all working beautifully.All I want to be able to do now is to create a mouseover effect, whereby when your cursor is over the scrolling image, that image only enlarges slightly - a bit like the Apple dock effect. Then, if the cursor moves to the second image, the first image reduces back to its original size and the second one enlarges.
