In flash, I designed a ring button. I placed as3 code, tried, works well. Except that, When I rollover the center of the hole, it still returns hyperlink. I don't want it to happen. I think it is done with sprites, but I don't know how to do it...
View 4 RepliesI want to make some glass buttons. At least give them a glass effect. I already know everything it should happen on rolling over but i need a little help at drawing them. I mean giving them a nice shinny cover.
View 1 Repliesim trying to add some buttons or sprites on each of TileList items, i even made my own ImageCell class and inject some code that adds sprite on each image but it is not clickable - all clicks are reffering to "object MyImageCell" not that specific sprite
View 1 RepliesHow can I get a random point within a ring? Like, the space between two concentric circles. I make the circles in code myself so I know the radius, etc. This is for a game I am working on where I am spacing the enemies out in waves, or different rings spaced from the center of the field. I was thinking the only way is some kind of loop that checks points or something. As3
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a flash navigation widget for this site: [URL]. As you can see, when you click on one of the buttons on the ring, the ring rotates down to the item you selected. This was accomplished with the Rotation Smooth - Helper component that I got here: [URL]. My problem is that the component is quite limited in functionality and doesn't work as expected. For example if you click on the "Download" button, and then back on the "Products" button, the ring jumps back to that location instead of rotating back smoothly.
View 5 RepliesMy button doesn't have a blue focus ring around it, even though it has focus. I've got a component with a RadioButtonGroup and a Button. After a selection is made in the RadioButtonGroup, focus is switched to the Button. I added click="focusManager.setFocus(myCloseButton)" on the VBox.
After, a radioButton is selected, if the user clicks the spacebar the Button fires. So, as I understand it focus was switched to the button. But, the button doesn't get a blue focus ring surrounding it. How do I get the focus ring? I have visible="false". I turn them to visible, after some effects are finished. So, don't let that throw you.)

View 2 RepliesWe've got a project in our ActionScript class which is a TOKEN RING or on how the token ring works. Now, our teacher just gave us 2 weeks to finish this project and he doesn't even started teaching the basics of actionscript that's why we really don't know how to start this project. Keep up the good work. What I really need now is the code in actionscript.
View 3 RepliesI have this problem...no worries it is only about ActionScript! I have created two movieclips: one is called "sun_mc" (with a nice smile) and a ring of sunrays (short and long ones) called "ring_mc".the ring is situated around the sun.
The user clicks the sun and drags to rotate it.The user can click the ring to rotate that too.When the sun is rotating...the ring should not be...and vice versa.
I have three problems...
1) I can't get the two mc's to move independently 2) When rotating the mouse position always jumps to a certain point on the movieclip...not the point where you clicked it first 3) The ring is also rotating when the mouse is outside the ring...
What should I do?I tried to obscure a part of the ring_mc with some masking...That didn't work.Should I try hitTest? And how should I do that? That only works with squares doesn't it?

I'm looking to make a continues ring of imags that will load from a XML file. So the Flash will have 8-12 images displayed verticly and will have a auto rotate at top and bottom.
View 2 Replies1. I want the user to be able to activate a ball (ball_mc) which will rotate around a circlular ring (ring_mc).
2. I want the user to be able to control the speed or tempo at which this ball moves around the ring.
3. One rotation of the ring will equate with a bar of music. Therefore the user should also be able to decide on the beat length of the ring in musical time i.e. 2,3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or 12 beats.
4. On the ring the user will also be able to place movie clips which represent percussion sounds (duration_mc) and I therefore also want the ball_mc to trigger the percussion sound when it encounters the duration_mc.
5.I want the percussion sound triggered to be determined by the colour of the ring_mc and the user should be able to drag different coloured rings on to the stage. I have created an empty movie clip called canvas_mc to house the rings and I have seven different coloured rings which will each have a different associated sound.
I've been asked to put together a simple flash page to that corresponds to a christmas card my office is mailing out. I've got the vector graphics set up and the page story-boarded and how I'm going to script it all thought out. How I can go about designing it for a full screen flash? I know how to set the publish properties, by setting 100% for width and height (among other settings) - but what size should I set as the workspace to begin with?
View 3 Repliesim following some suggestions to cut my flash website into a few sections to make preloading a bit easier.
so all i want is to make a small round ring rotate as long as the file is loading. so i looked and followed a lot tutorials but all the preloaders tutorials are much more compliceted then i need. they all have persentige sowing, and a bar that is filling according to how much the file has loaded, and colors changing etc. so i tried to take from the tutorials wat i need for my simple preloader to work but i get stuck.i built the animation of the rotating ring, but i get stuck with the actions i need to make the animation work as long as the file is working. i called my ring animation "circularloader". here is a image of the page with the ring:
I want to handle multiple operations on a UI Component (button ,textfield, swfs,custom objects etc) in like scaling,skewing ,color,rotations etc etc and save them too. Earlier the actions were done
using a single tool and single mxml file but now the tool is separated into different tools. Was wondering how i can design / use something like Toolmanager class to handle actions etc?
Also the tricky part is that some objects can have more operations defined for them Like 'object1' has 3 operations that can be performed on it and 'object2' has 5 operations defined on it.
We are using MVC design pattern but no frameworks as such. What are the different design patterns that can be used to do this? Edit: To be more precise i want implement this in AS3 OO way.The application is similar to drawing application which supports addition of various images,text,audio,swfs etc. One added user can perform various operations of the objects..like adding color,scaling skewing,rotation etc etc and custom effects and after that export the drawing as PNG.Likewise some effects that are applicable to text are not applicable to images and vice versa. and some effects can be common.
I am trying to design a pop up card in flash but it's a tough one to work out. I have a flat illustration which my client wants to appear as if it is on a pop up card, but I'm having trouble trying to animate this. Everything I try looks a bit flat, and trying to get the perspective right is a killer.
View 1 RepliesI'm looking to build a very simple (hopefully!) interactive game.
- A number of balls are situated at the bottom of the stage.
- There are several dropzones which the balls can be placed in.
-Once a dropzone is occupied with a ball, its not possible to populate that the dropzone with another ball until the present one has been removed. -Depending on which balls are present in the dropzones, the balls animate differently. the red ball is placed in a dropzone. There are currently no other dropzones populated with a ball.

I consider myself a well versed professional in terms of design layout in Photoshop, to Iillustrator, and InDesign. I have just begun to pick up Flash cs3 and have had no problem laying out elements and so on. I understand the timeline, since I do allot of video editingfrom FinalCut to AfterEffects. However what is new and alien to me is ActionScripting I don't know what is best 2.0 or 3.0. I have tried some tutorials in drop menus and so on. yet I'm having issues across the board as to what process to build this video menu page. (see photo below)The function of this menu is that you roll over a green title and a menu drops along side of it, then you roll your mouse courser over the sub menu and click on a sub menu title and a video starts. I believe the functions to be easy and straight forward. yet action script puzzles me. is there a site for beginners or tutorials in just menus like this i could copy and use while i pick up action script whatever.or if anyone has simple code ideas to put or drop in said Key Frames or Layers (see photo below)

Interesting thing is that if I use Array class as parent I shouldn't define child classes as dynamic
So, the question is: Is it possible to design a collection class in AS3 that could be used in for each (...) and will not contain any unnessary methods (like from Array class)?
Is there an advantage/disadvantage to designing multimedia (for example a simple animation with music) using fully as3, or is it the same as using the the editor (timeline)? will it boost performance/speed to code the tweens, clips and textfields?

View 2 RepliesI am about to design my first Flash website which uses pages of different heights. I want the entire window to be Flash. There will be a background pattern, and the website design will be centered horizontally, with just the height changing depending on which page I'm on. Some pages will require scrolling and other pages will not. If possible, I'd like to use the browsers built-in scroll bar. A few months ago, I would have thought this was impossible to do in Flash, but I actually have seen a website which does exactly this. It's a shame I can't remember the URL. Any suggestions on how I might go about achieving this task? The only way I can imagine is to split up all the pages on separate URL's, but then I won't be able to do smooth transitions between pages.

View 3 RepliesFirstly, I am using a TextField object of type input as the text input area of the text editor. So I am wondering, in your opinion, what would work best for formatting the text in this field?[code]...
Remember the text will always be changing at the user's whim in the movie, and I am looking for simplicity in applying certain styles to only selected portions of the input text and also setting styles for all future text that is input beyond what is already input (Could be a different style than that of the text already input)
Secondly, I am having a little trouble with the TextFormat Object option. I have a textfield, and a toolbar movieclip (with buttons such as bold, underline, italics, etc) on my stage. I am writing an actionscript class for the toolbar. I want to be able to capture the start index and end index of highlighted text in the textbox, so that say when I press the bold button, the text is bolded or unbolded. I have tried using Selection.getStartIndex() and Selection.getEndIndex() but they have not yet worked for me, as the selection loses focus when I click on the toolbar in the movie. I was hoping there was some sort of onHighlightText handler for the Selection class, so that I can capture the start and end indices whenever text is highlighted. However, there appears to be nothing with that functionality.
The navigation on a website I am designing is an swf file embedded inside another swf file, the latter being the body of the site. The navigation buttons are themselves embedded inside movie clips inside the embedded swf file...
I'm sure I'm missing some sort of line of programming, however my actionscript skills are rudimentary at best. I have assigned a simple goto webpage behavior on each of the buttons. However, when I look at the site all put together, they do not work.
If I am to import an image and I wish to use it as a sprite or something like that; How do I remove the white areas? For example, if I was going to create a custom cursor or something like that, an I was to use this image: Image - how would I remove the white areas, so that they are transparent. I would also like to know if it is possible to set where the center of rotation in an image is?I do all my image work on Photoshop, if that is of any significance.
