ActionScript 3.0 :: Scrolling Menu Jitter Won't Work
Sep 28, 2011
I'm working on an AIR for iOS iPad scrolling menu with "kinetic" interaction. I'm trying to emulate as closely as I can the behavior of native components. To that end, I've had to forgo the traditional startDrag() method because of the peculiarities of the native UIScrollView. The reason startDrag() won't work for me is that when you drag the menu past its upper or lower scrolling threshold you encounter resistance, that is, the effect of your mouse/finger on the scroll/dragging of the menu is cut in half. Inside either threshold, if you move your finger a pixel the menu moves a pixel. Beyond either threshold, when you move your finger two pixels the menu only moves one because of the a .5 resistance multiplier. As far as I know, startDrag() doesn't account for any of that.

I have created a vertical menu that scrolls through menu items in a movie clip.There is a big white gap when the movie clip runs out, and it snaps back to the beginning.I would like it to scroll seamlessly, having the end join up with the beginning again without any space.I would like it to scroll to one end of the list and STOP, and scroll back the other way and STOP - without any white space.URL...

pasted the relevant script below my (SORRY it's so long-winded) question/s. I've got the on and off mouse hover working via functions "fRagingOn" and "fRagingOff". I'm not trying to impress you with all those IF conditions. They don't slove the problem anyway. So I apologise for all the superfluous code. "fRagingOn" controls a 12 frame motion tween inside MC "Romantics2" (separate functions do the same with the other four movie clips as well) with "stop();" actions on frames 1 and 12. "fRagingOut" controls "play();" [frame 28] and "gotoAndStop(1); [frame 40] (all that INSIDE movie clip "Romantics2". I know all you have to do is move your mouse to stop the annoying jitter, but is there a way to stop jitter on that spot where the user's mouse position makes the movie clip go into rapid-fire or slow jitter?
And STILL KEEP the interactivity of the MC responding to mouse hover whenever a user moves their mouse? I've tried every combination of "removeEventListener" and "addEventListener" inside the functions and outside but either the movie clip stops working because the Remove Listener has disabled it, or I get jitter on that Achilles Heel mouse postion. Is there an AS3 coding solution to keeping full hover interactivity and COMPLETELY eliminate that annoying jitter once and for all?
SCRIPT BELOW:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

I'm trying to get the jitter effect applied to a button.I currently have a mc called suggestcaption_mc with the following code applied to it.
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
this._x = 103.9;
this._y = 30.2;
[code]....
This works fine. Now what I am trying to do is turn this into a button which does this effect on rollover?I tried sticking the mc in the hover keyframe of a button but this does nothing.

I'm doing a project that uses a looping video clip sized 1280x720 - but I just can't get flash to play this without a stop and a jitter when it loops. I've tried various implementations of looping code, currently I'm using a very simple variant: on the FLVPlayback component, I have
Code:
on (complete) {
this.play();
}
and that's it. There's nothing else in the scene, at all.
I've even tried using video at the size, yet that too stutters on loop. Is there any way to eliminate this, as it spoils the illusion of a continuous loop entirely. I'm using CS5 right now (recently upgraded from CS3).
edit: I'm using a PC that EASILY should be able to run HD video, if I check the Task Manager, it's using around 3-4% of the CPU, yet I still get poor performance and stutter on loop!

I'm building a site with flash (obviously) and it has multiple pages, now on one of these pages i wanted a scrolling menu with thumbnails that when you click them they take you to another page, but I'm not quite sure how to go about it. The methods I already tried haven't worked.

it is unbelievable how many ppl have asked for help on this that i've seen and have been ignored...all i see is tons of ppl viewing and noone bothering to reply..not even to say they doan know how...well i hope that that is not the case with this post i need to scroll a vertical xml menu as per "the xml driven menu" [URL]..
i don't need a menu with a text area or anything like that...just a plain old menu that can scroll because my list will be very long. something like the infinite menu created from xml would be great too..

I've searched around a bit but have not found anything that sounds like my issue, or a resolution to it so am hoping this is not unique.I have a movieclip with an image and underneath it some text.I have created a pair of eventlisteners to change the scale of the MovieClip on ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT, to 1.3 and 1 respectively.If I hover over and out the image part of the MC this is fine and works as expected.However if I hover over the text, the animation gets stuck doing ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT.

dissect the image effect found on [URL] ? Ignoring the random text and the grainy lines, how would you achieve the random image sizing and jitter?

I have a scroll over menu that works great (see code below) But I only want it to work when I scroll over the menu. Right now, it activates and scrolls even when I'm not hovering over the menu. My canvas is about 800x400 and the scroll over menu is only 200x350. I tried: on rollover disable but that did not work.

I did a xml image gallery, with buttons for each image (using the duplicateMovieClip function + a for loop).Now i went to next step, I need to make a scroll for the menu, BUT, i don't have any idea how to set something to happen after the for loop is done.
My code so far:
Code:
stop();
var yPos = -10;
var depthCount = 1;
[code]....
Just for a simple test (since i noticed what i tried wasn't working well), I added a test movie clip and added a _visibile = false to be executed, i added it right after the closing of the for loop. I didn't had sucess thou, it happened before the loop .

I hope someone can give me some assistance. I am creating a page that I want to click on a button to bring a scrolling menu list that a html link will work from I am using Flash CS3 Pro and am trying to use AS3 for the scripting. I've not tried this before so to say it's not cooperating is an understatment. My button will not allow me to apply any actions to them. Any tuts that might show me the error of my ways (lol)

I'm making an animation of a line drawing itself. I'm using a vector line that I drew in Illustrator, which I imported to the stage. I have been erasing a bit, inserting a new keyframe, erasing it a bit more, new keyframe etc. When i have finished this I intend to reverse the sequence so the line appears to be drawing itself. This process has been going really well, but at 1820 frames in a section of the line has started to shake/jitter (by which I mean from side to side very quickly). I deleted the frames and did them again, using the same process that I have for the rest of the line which is not jittering, but this small section is still jittering. It doesn't jitter or move when I move between frames, it only jitters when I play the movie by pressing Command + Enter or I export it as a Quicktime .mov file.
PS here is a YouTube video of the problem. The jitter starts around the bottom of South America. You may need to make it quite big on your screen to see it. You'll notice that that part of the line doesn't jitter most of the way along, but starts to jitter when it gets to that part.

I am trying to make a photo gallery with a scrolling menu at the bottom. I have made both a photo gallery and a scrolling menu with tutorials but I can't figure out how to combine them so that they work. I've tried for quite a while now and I think that the problem comes from the scrolling menu which requires that I put all of the symbols I'm using into one symbol called panel. Is there any way to combine the code without completely rewriting it?
Here is the code for the photo gallery:
PHP Code:
this.onLoad=function(){
loadMovie("image1.jpg", images_mc);

So below is my code for a project I'm working on. I'm having some trouble though. I got the code for the scrolling menus online from another forum, but I can't figure out where that was. In any case, the current version of the code allows for the scrolling to happen when I open the page displays (enter Frame). But I can't figure out how to get the scrolling to happen only when I hover over the menu. I only want each one to scroll when I hover over the menu, not when I get on the page. I tried to replace the "enterFrame" part of the code, but it didn't work right. I need this done ASAP.

- The menu scrolls to the left when mouse is over the left side of the menu (there will be an arrow pointing left), and the menu reacts in the opposite fashion when the mouse is over the right side of the menu- The menu is constantly scrolling in the left direction when the mouse is not over the left or right arrow- The menu stops scrolling (or slows down) when the mouse scrolls over any of the items in the side-scrolling menu.

I've been searching through here constantly for a thread about a horizontal scrolling menu for actionscript 3, but I can't find any that are what I need. I have something that has been written for AS2, but I don't know how to write it for AS3.
This is the script I have now, that I got from a website called Sitepoint (Flash Script - Scrolling Menu With A Scrolling Background, I'd link but this is my first post here).
xm = 0;
function xpos(bar_length,mul)
{
hpos = 400;
[Code].....
I like it because its all based on the x position of the mouse which I feel makes the scrolling easier to control than a variable speed, not that it matters too much.

I finished my slide show using xml.of course only one picture shows (loads) as my navigation is...the scrolling menu, so there is not click next button as in the xml slide show tutorial.I also finished, as you can see, the scrolling menu movie...i would not use the xml slide show technique with this as you would always have to manually go in and update blank boxes to load pics into as they are not overlapping in the same space.although you super coders can...im just not there...this is my first project with any coding, and im copy and paste man.how do i make it where my buttons in the scrolling menu call up the images from my xml document that created my slide show?[code]

I am working on a very minimal site that consists of a swf containing a vertical scrolling infinite menu that loads other swfs into the main timeline: [URL].I am building this in MX, and it is based on this tutorial: [URL]. I figured out how to change this to a vertical format that fit my needs. This is the actionscript I attached to the main menu movie clip:
onClipEvent (load) {
ycenter=600;
speed=1/10;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var distance=_root._ymouse-ycenter;
_y+=(distance*speed);
if (_y > 0) _y=-2323;
if (_y < -2323) _y=0;
}
The swfs are sized large as the end result is a private site dealing mostly with clients using very large monitors. I am creating the swfs to be loaded in with Flash CS4, and they contain large images that have smoothing enabled. As I know nothing about Actionscript 3.0 and very little about 2.0, I am creating the main swf in MX as I am more familiar with it.
Anyway, what I need to know is:
1. How to add something to the code that will stop the timeline's scrolling where you left it when you roll off of it,
2. Any other vertical scrolling menus I can take a look at to compare this with?

i ve put flash(1000x900) into html file and test it. Everything works fine except when my mouse pointer is over flash area or i click on some button iniside flash it wont scroll up or down, and when i am outside flash area it scrolls normal. In FF works great but in in IE does not work. This is very annoying beacose you have yo click outside flash everytime if you want to scroll. I am working with cs4 AS 2.0 and i try to export movies into flash 9 and flash 10 but it is the same problem.

I'd like to know what AS3 code is necessary to have a scrollable menu of buttons using the Keyboard class. I am creating app similar to a Yahoo widget, and I would like for the keyboard to simulate a remote control in the prototype. The keyboard's directional buttons (up, down, left, right), the "backspace" and "enter" button would be used to navigate. I have found AS3 code on how to move objects using keyboard commands (up, down, left, right, back), like in a game, but not how to move the target area from one object (button) to another. The changing target would be a clickable button using the "enter" button.
