ActionScript 3.0 :: Extreme Zoom From U.S Map To Close-up Satellite Imagery?
Aug 3, 2009
I'm trying to create a flash application which displayes 20 locations on a U.S map. Right now I have a satellite image of the U.S, and if you click on a location it zooms and you see a close up. I am achieving this effect by playing a short flv video captured from google earth. The first frame is identical to the map image, then it rapidly zooms in (about 1 second) to the location, the last frame is the same as the satellite imagery of the location.
It looks pretty good, but each zoom video is 1 to 2mb to achieve video quality which matches the satellite imagery and looks good with such extreme movement. The problem is the flash presentation is too large with all the videos, can I achieve the same affect with images? Something like a deep zoom effect? Is an image zoom technique practical considering I'm zooming into the whole country image way beyond a single pixel of the image all the way down to satellite imagery? it doesn't have to be in flash, but I can't use the Google Maps API because it has to work offline.

I have built a page in dreamweaver. everything is showing up as it should, but I currently have 3 problems
1. I have a .flv loaded into a flash file and that .swf loaded into my dreamweaver file. It shows up when I preview the file in dreamweaver but not when I load the file. Why does it not show up when I push the site live? I have all of the assets loaded.
2. I have created a .swf that loads images externally. The .swf shows when I load it, but the external imagery are not showing up when I push the page live.
3. I have all of my links set to one color, but for some reason they are all showing up blue.

I came across this tutorial. [URL]. I wish to expand it into a xml loaded gallery. I thought simply replacing a simple name would work (changing the pic_mc in the as to the name of the MC I use to load my xml images. however, it doesn't work. Infact in cocks up my whole script, and it wont run the xml images any more. I am not on the level to write a code myself as shown in the tutorial i linked, and so I only partially understand it (this I assume to be the position many of us are in) so its hard for me to really adjust it.
Heres the basic document I am trying to cross it with [URL].

I double-clicked on a bitmap-item in the library and instead of opening the properties-windows where you can change compression, import and so on, the focus changed to a random explorer window and flash got "locked". Flash probably thought that it actually opened a new sub-window and waited for it being closed, but there was no such window! Seems like the open-procedure failed and the next window to focus on was just an explorer window. Closing this one didn't get the focus back to flash. What a luck, I could still save the file using ctrl-s but couldn't get back to the application. So I had to kill Flash with the task-manager.

i've made a button that zooms into a movie clip on a rollover, but it on moves it a certain amount each time you rollover the button. code below:
on (rollOver){
_root.Mypic._width += 5;
_root.Mypic._height += 5;
}
wot i want it to do is to continue zooming in for as long as the mouse is over the button, is there anyway i can change the code to zoom in at the same amount but do it continuously until the mouse is moved off the button. Also is there anyway that i can set it so that the zoom stops at a certain percentage, i.e. it only zooms in so much and then stops. What i mean is that the user can zoom in but the picture will only zoom in to say 200% of the original size.

I am working on flash application TELESCOPE or Camera. My goal is to move around the scene and zoom-in or zoom-out I found that if I move scene, I have to move registration point, because I always want to zoom in the centre of my ocular. So far application works fine only if I move, zoom-in and than before I move any further, zoom-out! But when I move, zoom-in (not fully), move again and zoom-in again, the second zooming doesn't appear on desirable registration point

Using flex / air 2.6 working on an Android device, I am using a canvas with a TransformGestureEvent for zoom in on a map. The listening of the efect is working ok, but I can´t seem to find the information on wether the user intended zoom in or zoom out (fingers getting closer or getting apart).I expected the intention of the gesture to be identifiable with the offsetX and offsetY properties of the event, as you will do on a swipe gesture event. But I always get 0 for both properties, no matter how I do the gesture in the device.How can I know if the fingers getting closer or getting apart in a gesture zoom event?

I need to have a button to be clicked for the zoom effcet to be activated, then when the mouse hovers over an image it should zoom to 200%. I have 40 images which I'd like to have this effect by.Also when the cursor is over the image is it possible to make the change the cursor to a magnifying glass?

I'm developing a full screen zoom/pan UI. Everything is working great, except I can't get it to center on the correct point when zooming in.
You can view what I have here: [URL]
The numbers in the top-left corner are the navigation, and the white boxes represent the individual sections.
I have a large container movieclip that fills the entire page. Inside of that movieclip (site) I have all of my individual section movieclips (section1-section6). I'm also using a dynamic registration point class to dynamically set the registration point of the "site" movieclip to the current selected section, so that the zoom in/out is centered on that section.
When a user clicks on a navigation item, I first reduce the _xscale and _yscale of "site" to 80, when that is complete I move _x and _y to the position of the selected section's movieclip. When that is complete, I set the _xscale and _yscale back to 100. Right now, it is not zooming in centered, so I have a final step where I correct the _x and _y position after zooming back in.
If I don't zoom in/out I can successfully pan the movieclip and center on the correct section. I believe the problem is that I am moving the _x and _y to the position of the "site" movieclip as if it is at 100%, but since it is at 80% it is not moving to the correct position. I tried to fix this by giving the _x and _y coordinates as:
endX = endX / 100 * 80;
Which made it a little better, but still not centered. I have a feeling that there may be a fundamental flaw in my approach to this.
For some reason the forum won't let me attach my .zip, so I posted it online, as well: [URL]
My code below, in case you don't want to download the file:
Code:
tile._alpha = 0;
currentSection = section1;
//** Set Stage **//
[Code]....

i have visited a very good flash site..I gotta give credit for their dedication and their work as well. [URL] I wonder, how they put all those animation in a banner with that small size of file ? I mean banner's size is not big at all. My other question is that, how do you make it "zoom in and zoom out" on a movie..Like on those banners. Do they binding all the layers to make it a movie then resize it on the movie or what?

Does anyone know the syntax for closing a swf window using a button, similar to closing a popup window? I am creating a small game, and am giving the user the option to "play again" or "quit" at the end of the game, so i want the quit button(standard library on(press)) to close the swf file.

I have a picture with an invisible button, once clicked on the button runs a movieclip with an instance - box1, once its opened a close button appeared, called closeBtn1 and the idea is when thats clicked, for box1 to gotoAndPlay frame 80, but no matter where I put the code it doesnt seem to let the closeBtn work! Even trace actions aren't getting recognised![code]as u can see I'm trying to trace even if the closeBtn gets rolled over but to no avail.I have also tried it from scene level and still no joy.

I am trying to follow the exercises in the "Classroom In A Book" for Flash CS4 and I am having problems already on exercise 2. the problem is that I can not close the shape, whilst using the pen tool and anchor points. I have tried to make the anchor points extend further than the stage and then clicking on the first anchor point as the book suggests, however, a new line is drawn through the stage, to the first and last anchor point. The problem is I can not add the fill colour.
