I recently stumbled upon a site called The Influence Project' which allows the user to control a infinite wall of photographs in space with the keyboard.tell me if there are any actionscript 3 libraries to build this kind of interface?
View 1 RepliesI want to create an interface navigatable through keyboard. The interface is somewhat like nested DVD menus, and it is not known in advance how many buttons there will be or where they will be placed. So for example you would be on button 1, if you press right, the closest button to the right would be selected. how would I go about enabling this? The purpose is to enable keyboard navigation for complex management screens for a game I am doing;
I would like this to be as independant and reusable as possible, which means I would like it to work with any clickable object, not just buttons, and certainly not my own custom class of buttons. This also means the buttons might be placed through the flash IDE and so placing them on a grid is not an option (I'd like this to be easy to use for non-techies).
My thinking goes like this: add all buttons to a manager, then select the first one, then on keypress, triangulate and select the closest in an angle of (+45degrees,-45degrees) of direction pressed. But it seems overkill to me, and I guess in some edge cases, some buttons will be forever unselectable.
find a template or some resource that can make a scrolling background, with buttons floating. Example here: http:[url]....I want to make something similar, but I am told by my coder that its a big job to code it from scratch, is there anything already made out there, that I can use as a template?
View 1 RepliesI am about to make my portfolio site in which I'd like to have a drag and drop interface similar to these sites [URL] and [URL] where you have to drag to advance the page. Also I am assuming they are using empty movie clips to load in XML data. i am wondering how to make the drag transition bring the next or previous picture in together with the current one, and how far do you need to drag before the other one takes over? Do they just use 1 or 3 empty clips or MC for however many pictures there are with each empty MC assigned one of the XML links?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create a "floating" style navigation similar to the link below but WITHOUT and 3D effect. Just text/navigation that is floating and reacting ever so slightly to the xmouse/ymouse and maybe scaling on rollover or something...I don't know where to start...
anyone have a tutorial or link that has something similar in effect?[URL]..and also the "solutions" section of this site, although this doesn't really interact with xmouse/ymouse[URL]..
and here is another that uses imagery and full screen...[URL]..
how to change the focus of movieclips and buttons when I press the arrow keys of the keyboard. Its kind like the tab navigation but with de arrows keys, in the four direcctions. This flash app i'm developing has to be handled 100% with the keyboard.

View 2 RepliesIs there a code for the tab key like works for the return key. I am using AIR to write to an excel file and need the values to go horizontally in different cells, and all i can do right now is use to get them to enter vertically. In all my searching I can only find articles about keyboard navigation regarding the tab key.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to build a custom keyboard into flash to display text in the interface. So far all that I have tried failed
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to setup an interface where an event is triggered by the user pressing a key on the keyboard. So far I have the following code in a button on the stage:
Code:
on (keyPress "a"){
trace("you pressed a")
}
on (keyPress "b"){
[code]...
Which works fine. I was wondering if there was a way to either remove the case sensitive properties of the keypress action, or to force the keyboard to return a caps lock or something. The only way I can think of doing it so far would be something like this:
Code:
on (keyPress "a"){
trace("you pressed a")
}
on (keyPress "A"){
[code]...
Which obviously will double the amount of code needed - especially as the event for a small c and a capital C would be the same.
Below is the working code I have for navigating a presentation composed of multiple scenes.It works by starting a listener that waits for key presses and then jumps to the scene where the letter that was pressed is present in the first frame of the scene.Example: Press the letter C and the presentation jumps to the scene where there is a frame marker with the uppercase letter C present.
ActionScript Code:
// Begin Keyboard Navigation
// This script goes to the frame/scene-frame labeled in a single uppercase letter.

Having a problem with a little animation involving balloons floating in and then floating out again when a condition is met. There are two ways they can float in or out: from left to right, or completely randomly. I actually like it as coming in (left to right) and going out (random) but it's essentially up to the user.
Since I moved my Array sort code into the function that basically deals with telling the balloons to float off though, I've been having problems. Sometimes one or a couple of the balloons will not float off and I'm kind of boggled as to why. Because it works fine IF the Array sort part is outside this function, I'm wondering whether, when the for loop at the bottom starts running, the Array is still being sorted and that's why some balloons get left behind.

I want to implement an Excel like keyboard (arrow) navigation in an Advanced Datagrid in Flex.The docu at [URL]states that arrow keys can be used to navigate around cells. However, in my case that does not work. I can only navigate rows up and down
When focus is on the AdvancedDataGrid control:
* Use the Left, Right, Up, and Down Arrow keys to move between cells.
* Use the Shift+Home and Shift+End keys to move to the first and last column in current row.
* Cells are only selected by default, they are not editable.
* Press the F2 key to make a cell editable.
A 3*3 grid, consisting of 9 squares (0-0, 0-1, 0-2, 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, 2-0, 2-1, 2-2). I want to be able to navigate the grid using a keyboard by going up, down, left and right. If I hit the edge of the grid, I would like to "wrap" to the other side. This kind of menu is seen on games, mobile devices etc.
Does anyone have a good implementation of navigation algorithm (does not to be in AS3), rather something I can refer to?
I am developing a website completely on Flash, it has an option for Fullscreen as well as keyboard navigation to switch between slides. On windows, when i do fullscreen, everything works fine. On Mac machines, after full-screen the keyboard navigation script stops working. This is the script I am using for keyboard action. Is there any particular script for Macs too ?
on (keyPress "<Right>") {_parent.gotoAndStop(2);}
I am new to actionscript. I was trying to make a slide show frame by frame. I have my main timeline with the following code in first frame.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fl_changeSlide);
function fl_changeSlide(evt:KeyboardEvent):void{
if (evt.keyCode = 37) // LEFT{
gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame-1);
}else if (evt.keyCode == 39 || evt.keyCode == 32){
gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame+1);
}}
In the third frame I am trying to load an external swf by clicking a button 'rrbutton' and unload the same when the user clicks left arrow.
var loadit = new Loader();
function ack(evt.keyboardEvent):void {
if(evt.keyCode == 37){
loadit.unloadAndStop();
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fl_changeSlide);
[Code] .....
The external swf loads on clicking the button and unloads when left arrow is pressed and the main time line frame appears. But thereafter the keyboard navigation in the main timeline(through function fl_changeSlide) is not working properly.

Doing flash interface project with only the 4 arrow keyboard keys and the "a" key as the activater! No mouse allowed!!I have created movie clips which have a roll over affect created by an array but i now want to make these movie clips into button which can be selected using the arrow keys and the "a" button. Which then takes the user to the desired page. Really dont want to change them from movie clips format .
View 3 Repliesi seem to have trouble finding on the internet what happends when one interface extends another interface.
View 2 RepliesI have 2 scenes. In both scenes, I have a movie clip that moves via keyboard control. If the goto next scene is triggered by the movie clip in the first scene the keyboard control works in the second. However, if I use a button to move to the next scene then there isn't any control over the movieclip in that scene. I've traced the keyCode in the second scene and it is picked up but the switch statement doesn't run. I'm migrating to Actionscript 3.0 and updating something I created in 2.0. I would like to do it without writing a class.

I have an image and I want to add "hot spots" so when the user rolls over the area they get 3-4 boxes that pop up to display pictures or what ever. So far I can't figure out how to change th hit area once its expanded so the hit area would be small then expand with the boxes, then rolling outside the picture areas it would close.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to embed Flash movie (MP3 player) to HTML using SWFObject. The SWF is 30px high but when you roll over some elements, the height can go up to 100px because some elements show up. What I want to do is to have div 30px high but when I roll over particular Flash elements, then the elements that should show up are not visible. I was wondering if there is a way to allow Flash to 'float out' of the div so the taller elements become visible when rolled over the Flash movie.
