ActionScript 3.0 :: Make An Interactive Movie (QTE-style)?
May 10, 2010
I'm in the middle of making an interactive movie with events within it that act sort of like quick time events, only that there are multiple outcomes, making it sort of like an old "Choose your own adventure" book. I'm certain you can do what I want to do within Flash, but I have no idea how to as the only commands I know in Actionscript are stop(); and play(); and i'm not sure what the (); means, only that I needed it.
However, all I need is some simple commands to make it so that when the viewer hits the "a" or "l" key, the film will advance to another frame. These keys are meant to correspond to two different actions in the film depending on the situation - At one point, to leave through a door or dive through a window, and at another to dodge left or right away from an object. Though there is a third option for when the player does nothing, that should be simple enough to code so it's not a problem.

i'm currently in the process of linking a movie i've made into a series of interactive scenes, which can half the outcome altered depending on if the player chooses to press certain buttons within the movie. As an example, at one point the character is asleep, and the text "Wake up" appears on the screen, at which point the viewer would press the a or the l key to do the action. If they fail to press a key, the character sleeps forever and the movie ends.I'm making this in Flash.
However, I have such a basic knowledge in actionscript and cannot find a tutorial online to help me with what i'm aiming for. I know how to switch to playing different scenes using actioscript but not how to set it up so that pressing the a or l keys (these are specific to different actions the user can take, only chosen to allow them to have both hands on the keyboard at once to give it their full concentration) to specifically play events.

I'm new ActionScript, and programming in general, however I've been doing a lot of tutorials and reading my Flash CS4 Bible, and cruising the forums like crazy trying to figure out how to go about scripting for my project.
Situation: I need to make an interactive flash movie that explains a painting.when you rollover different sections of the painting, I would like the rest of the painting to dim, and for that section to grow. if you are to roll out, it goes back to the first frame and the same thing happens for all of the sections.
If you are to click on any given section, there will be a voiceover, and possibly a little animation that goes along with it. if you either watch the whole thing or click anywhere on the painting, it should go back to frame.I've thought of a few ways to do it, but can't seem to get the scripting right.for now, I'm only worried about the first part because the rest is going to be similar.Frame 1 I have the painting and an invisible button over a section. frames 2-7 is that section growing and the rest of the painting getting dim there is a stop(); on frames 1 and 7

I'm trying to make Windows Media Player style controls into my movie. I know how to do stop, play, and pause already, but I don't know how to do the progress bar. I tried searching in the actionscript help menu. I couldn't find any actions that retrieve total frames in the movie and current frame number.

I am trying to make an interactive flash application that works by detecting mouse overs and clicks on various buttons/movie clips and then moves to the appropriate part of the time line. But I am having an issue when I use more than one addEventListener in any one frame. I have attached the code for one such frame below. When I comment out the addEventListner and the other code relating to the followBall function this works fine and directs the user to frame Inlet_Valve_Open_Frame but now only the followBall function is working and when i try to click on the Inlet_Valve_Button movie clip nothing happens.
I have never read all the help files on the adobe flash CS3 as i don't have time and i have built this code up based on examples i have found online. I wanted to include my fla file but it's to big 6Mb. But i have attached the swf so you have an idea what i am doing.
Code: Select allstop();
//1.
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,followBall);

I've just started a new job, and I have the opportunity to do some work with Flash CS5 - I've never used Flash before and I'm excited to be learning new stuff! I have been tasked with creating an interactive thing... well, how 'bout I just show you
I've built it in Photoshop, but I need to make it come to life. The user should be able to grab the slider and drag it left or right and for the numbers to change appropriately. I don't even know enough about Flash to know what keywords to search to find a tutorial that'll show me how to do something similar!

I've been trying to make an interactive map. I have a stage that is...default size will do. On next layer I have map..on layer above is a mask with a hole in. The idea is the user can drag the map around and get info from hotspots on the map. I know I can restrict the area that the map can be dragged but this seems to only work if the map is smaller than the stage, but my map is much bigger than this. How do I set this up??

I have something in mind like this: [URL] so each time, when the mouse is over each state, different information should show up in the right side box with different information. How should I implement this? should I draw the right side information box as picture, and then write a script to ask information to display when mouse is on certain state, is this a movie clip?

I am trying to make an interactive calendar. I would like the day to be highlighted when it opens. The highlight is a movie clip with a number for the instance name.
[Code]...
It's not working and I'm not sure why. I could easily be going about it ALL wrong. I suspect that it being an onClipEvent is an error. Can't I just getDate and setProperty?
I have attached the file. Once I understand how this works I can duplicate it for loading the correct month and year.

[URL]..The first menu on the page is a good example of what I'm asking about.One major addition to this style/functionality... each link needs to be added via XML (for flash vars) and it needs a scroll bar for when the amount of links exceed the height of the content container or movie clip.So it needs the style elements as you see in the link and a scrollbar for dynamic content.
I'm posting this question because I've been searching for weeks and although I've found a plethora of examples of AS3 scrollbars, none - not one, has come close to something like this. I'm just curious how someone with real AS3 knowledge would go about the situation as I'm sure this is not as difficult as it's proving. Or maybe it is. I don't know.

simple code here, works just fine.
Code:
var myStyles:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
myStyles.setStyle("p", {color:'#808080'});
myStyles.setStyle("h1", {color:'#84ABDB'});
[code]....
Here is my problem - want to make a variable and put it between the style tags.
For instance:
Code:
var blah:String = "Hello there";
my_txt.htmlText = "<p>blah</p>";
Without it just writing "blah" I need it to get the string from the variable.

I'm a programmer and I've learn some basic knowledge about Flash Builder. What I can do with it now is to use the components and somethings override the redraw function to design my own components. However, I find that is a inefficient way and I seems to complex to achieve the animation with only codes. Are there some way to develop with Flash Builder and Flash CS? And how to make animation without complex code? Could you recommend some books for me?

I want to make an Interactive Video in flash (or another method if known). basically to sum this up. I want to make a video which then some options will appear in the video (They could be buttons by the side of the video), which you then need to choose for another video to play. (Exactly like how you tube uses annotation) Is this possible with flash? or would I need to use another program?

I have a Google Map in my Flash project with a polygon overlay. Is it possible to add to that overlay an EventListener so it triggers a function? All I can find in the API reference is something called "MapMouseEvent" but I can't figure out if that is what I need or how it works.

I need to make an image gallery that uses a carousel style animation...minus the 3D part.Basically, we'll have an array of images loaded from an XML file...could be any number of images.The stage will have 5 images lined up edge to edge. Each image will be 300x200, but masked to only show the middle 100x200 pixels. The image in the middle (the third one) will be fully visible, with the mask showing all 300x200 pixels of the image.When the user clicks on the next or previous buttons, the entire row of images will slide over and the new middle one will animate open to show the full image.
Screen shot of basic idea: Loading the XML and images and such is no problem...adding them to the stage and setting a mask for each, no problem.It's the actual functionality of getting the whole group to slide at once and the next image mask in line to animate into the center position while the current center position mask animates back down to normal.
