ActionScript 3.0 :: Add An Movieclip And Still Keep It In The Picture When Scrolling?
Nov 15, 2009
I really just want to have shadow showing underneath the gallery, I just don't know how to add a shadow so it stays under in the picture when i scroll...I call my movie clip with the shadow shadow mc. tried different solutions, but seems everytime i scroll the mask sort of blocks it out... is there anyway anyone knows what Im talking about..? Basicly i need ad a movieclip that lays underneath the gallery and stays there..this is the AS for the gallery:
var galWid:Number=879.95;
var galHei:Number=300;
var galX:Number=10;
I'm creating a website and I need to have a slideshow of scrolling pictures (not interactive to user) and I know how to do it with the old motion tweening but when I play the movie the scrolling pic is not smooth but choppy. I already played around with frames and frame rates; the image scrolls faster or slower but the choppines remains. Here is an example of what im looking to do: **Notice how the picture of the bed scrolls smoothly when the site loads. [URL]
I know that for this site they probably used the "ease" effect and that works when the image is gonna stay still at the end but for my movie the images are gonna be scrolling up,down,left,right in a loop. Can you guys tell me how can I do this without the movie being choppy? perhaps there's a way to do it with code.
I am trying to load an online employee directory where I have scrolling portrait jpegs and once you click on a picture employee information (which is a swf) is displayed in a space above. When I load the fla into Dreamweaver the scroll buttons work, all the profile pics appear, and the intial landing screen is there. Problem is that once you click on the profile pics (buttons), no information appears. This works in Flash (CS4) but not once it is in Dreamweaver. I think this is a loading issue? On each button for the images the code I have is:
on (release) { loadMovie("employeeName_file.swf","_root.screen");}
I have a script for a scrolling picture gallery. I know it works, but I want to know how the script makes it work. What the script does it make it so that when you have your mouse on the far left of the flash canvas, the picture gallery scrolls fast to the right, and if your mouse is close to the middle but on the right slightly, the picture gallery scrolls slowly left,
The script is: onClipEvent ( enterFrame ) {[code].....
I think it means that the move direction of the gallery is to do with (something) divided by the width of the stage, then - 0.5, then x by 5,and if this calculates to be less than 0 and (something) calculates to be less 0, then... I don't get how it chooses which direction to move after that.I also know the picture gallery has some sort of physics engine perhaps, but I'm not entirely sure..In short... I'd like to know how this code works.
I want to make a picture gallery and use buttons that move you from picture to picture and backwards, but I don't want to tell button 1 to go to frame 2 and button 2 to got to frame 3 and so on (I hope you know what I mean)Can I use on button on a separate layer with the same action set? I tried something like that, but it didn't work:
on (release) { thisframe =+1 } [code]........
but it didn't work. I'm kind of new to any action script other than gotAndPlay, easy functions and all that.
I Have the drag and drop working where you drag a text movieclip onto a picture of an object movieclip but having some problems. I know its something to do with the hitTest function but when i drop the word "cow" onto the picture of a dog it actually says this is correct by displaying the word cow above the picture of the dog when instead it shouldnt allow me to drop the text onto the picture which doesnt match.
Basically i need to know how to seperate the drag hitTest function for the DogPic/DogText so that it has its own function to detect a hit. At the moment you can see in the below code I have 1 hittest fucntion detecting both collisions when they need seperate functions I tried making a seperate function for each but it didnt work
I have a horizontal scrolling movieclip that scrolls when the mouse is left or right of a certain point of that movieclip. However, it only moves slightly then stops when the cursor goes over it, it doesnt actually scroll normally...
I used to work with CS3, but now I have CS4. I want to load jpg picture in movieclip. But it doesn't works. I have tried to load *.swf and it's works. This is my code: _root.createEmptyMovieClip("a",1); loadMovie("small.jpg",_root.a); there are no changes on stage. I have Vista and this all happens in my documents
I need a very simple(*) image editor made in Flash so the users of my web page can edit pictures and then save them to my server. I'm beginning this project trying to save to a jpg or png the content of a movie clip, but I didn't find any information on Google. Can you give suggestions of how to begin? And if you know some opensource projects like this one, please share it here.
(*) very simple means, resize, crop, add text and overlap other images.
now the movieclip "photo" consist on another movieclip that does the actual picture display/loading with some AS> photoHolder < loads the actual picture,so i thought ok,logically its
_root.photo.photoHolder.removeMovieClip(); maybe even _root["photo" + photoNum].photoHolder.removeMovieClip(); or _root.photo.removeMovieClip(); etc
i tried numerous other structures but i just can't get it to work, for some reasons i just can't unload the movieclip that shows the picture.
i have movie clip with images and buttons: left, right, up, down, need for this buttons add events, to be able to move the picture from movieclip to stage
I recently used the loadMovie action to load a .swf file to a target in the movie which it was being called from. Then I tried calling a picture to another target in the movie, but it did not load the picture as intended. I read about it on my book, but it didn't seem to work. Is there anyways on calling a picture into a target in the movie without placing the picture inside an swf file?
I am creating a Picture preview system, so far I have a movie clip with all of my images inside, a load of buttons that when pressed make the movie clip swap to the correct picture and stop there. All of this is fine, my issue is that I wantto place the Movie clip in question into a button, and depending on the particular frame the movie is showing, it will send the user to a different Website.
I have just been to a really nice website that has some really nice use of Flash on it.... I'm totally wowed by the resizing picture effect though? When each picture loads the loading frame resizes to the new picture size.
I am trying to build a site that would give users the ability to upload a picture to a picture frame on my site. I would like AS3 to dynamically re-size, and upload the file from an upload bar under the frame.
I'm totally wowed by the resizing picture effect though? When each picture loads the loading frame resizes to the new picture size.It must be some sort of actionscripting but how is it done?
The movieclip variables I create in the xml loop no longer exist after I load a picture into it. Specifically books[].url is undefined when you click the movieclip. What's going on?
i got five images, and five buttons, every image has a color, and lets say we start at the red one. When i click the the green button i want the green image to fade in.. i fugured out a way to do this on the timeline, but then i have to have a black box first fading in to remove the old picture and then start fading in the new picture..
I made a simple picture slideshow with a timer, prev/next buttons, pause/play buttons and jump buttons. Everything went good so far.Now i'm trying make every picture go to a URL when the picture is clicked but only the link on the first frame goes to the URL when clicked the other 5 buttons do nothing when click.(FYI: I made alpha 0% buttons in a layer above pictures)I tried two different codes but both have no effect.
as layer
Code: stop(); var nextImage:Timer = new Timer(3000); nextImage.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,playNext); nextImage.start();
I have this little problem where my scroll pane (cmpThumbs), which is inside another movieClip (nav) isn't scrolling. The arrow buttons on the scroll bar work, and even the grey area. When you click on it, the scroller will jump to that place. The only problem is, is that the scroller won't drag anymore.
Attached to that movieClip, nav, is the following code:
it works fine. However, I need the scrollPane to refresh as you can tell by the other line of code, I need the whole MC to move to position accordingly to accomidate "canvas".
just graduated from college in graphic design and I am trying to make a flash portfolio page to showcase my work. I have everything done so far except that I am having problems with this one bit of actionscript....I have been at it for weeks, looking at diff. tutorials, but I just can't seem to get it.I have a movieclip ("strip") and I want to it scroll up and down depending on where the mouse it, I also want it to duplicate so that it never stops scrolling...just keeps on looping. I am working this off of another tutorial that I found, but I am having trouble getting it acclimated to my flash.
I have an application in which i am making a dynamic photo gallery. I have made a scroller movieClip "thumbs_mc". Now i want to make it scroll. for that i created 2 movieClips ,left and right. and wrote some code. but its not working.1st depth is the main picture's movieClip's depth, 2nd depth is thumbs_mc, 3rd is mask movieClip. 4th and 5th are for left and right. Also, I am creating movieClips within Thumbs_mc for holding thumbnails.and two buttons leftScroll and rightScroll,
Has anyone got some nice clean code that; scrolls a movieClip left and right when the mouse is over the left or right part of the stage. When the movieClip comes close to the end, it should slow down rather than abruptly stop.Basically, I have a really wide movieclip full of pictures. I want the user to be able scroll through it by just moving the mouse left to right.
