I am trying to add several FLA videos on the same flash page and control them with different navigation buttons.So, Button 1 to play video 1, Button 2 to play video 2, etc .I have already put two navigation buttons and added two videos.However, I need to know Action Script to enable navigation button to do above.
View 6 RepliesI got a Website.as file that loads 4 library's movie clip's on the stage in certain positions.. Clip_A Clip_B Clip_C Clip_D
Clip_A loads on the top left side , Clip_B on top right , Clip_C in Middle and Clip_D low right position.
What i need to do and understand is how can i tell that class to find a button inside Clip_B and play a certain frame in Clip_C?
I have 2 versions of the same code, both to make 3 simple buttons work to move the timeline to a keyframe to change the page for user navigation. What is the difference? Is one way better than the other?
HTML Code:
stop();
var button1:SimpleButton;
var button2:SimpleButton;
var button3:SimpleButton;
function handleCLICK( pEvent:MouseEvent):void {
[Code] .....
I have a website, basic overview. I have my main movie, which contains the logo and navigation. I have a blank movieclip created with actionscript that loads the individual movie swf files. That works fine. What I want to do is dynamically have the main navigation buttons' text indicate what page you the user is on. Right now the code is on each button instance, example:
Code:
//work button Definition
on(press){
if(_root.pageHolder != "work") {
_root.pageHolder = "work";
_root.mcContainer.loadMovie(_root.pageHolder+".swf", this);
[Code] .....
Each button has the same code, just pointing to their respective pages. Here is the code in the first frame for setCurrentMarker()n function:
var aMenu = new Array(home, jschaer, work, contact);
function setCurrentMarker(){
for(i=0; i<= (_root.aMenu.length-1); i++){
if(_root.aMenu[i] == pageHolder){
[Code] .....
So the variable aMenu holds the moveclip names of the buttons. PageHolder holds the the name of the current page that is loaded. Thats how I change the pages to be loaded. To explain, if you look at the button code, the text for each button is by default greay and when you rollover it becomes black and off and it becomes gray again. That is on the first frame.
On the second frame the text is black. In the code I tried to make the black dynamically, but it didn't work, so I settled for going to the second frame and stopping. How do you get those little scroll boxes where you can put code. I guess its preference, but is it generally good to put the code on each instance of a button or put in in the main frame where your code lies. Is there any benefit either way?
1. I have a flash movie embedded in an html page. When the user clicks on a button in the movie it should open the new in the SAME or CURRENT window NOT in a new tab (leaving that window open).
Here's the code..getURL("imageTest.html", _self);
2. I can't get my block navigation to show the CURRENT link.I want the current link or page on the navigation bar to be a different color than the other links.
I'm able to get the font to change color but I can't get the background or "block color" to change color.
I am trying to create a link on a page that mimicks the existing flash navigation and get it to work as expected, meaning that when you click the link, the site navigation reflects the change. The problem I'm having is that I don't understand the hierarchy since I'm working from outside the navigation system itself. I can get the animation to change on rollOver and rollOut but when I click the link, the page changes from page1 to page2 but the navigation is still showing page1.

I have a really strange issue. If I insert a flash video from YouTube, BlipTV, JW Player etc. the text on the page is jagged and the links from the "Pages" drop down menu that overlays the video are all bunched up. This problem only occurs in Safari, you can see it for yourself here: cannot pinpoint why this is happeningEDIT: Fixed this myself by adding position: static to the list items. It seems position: relative was causing the problem.

View 2 RepliesFrom this example image attached, I have created many instances on my stage, let's say that for each instance I would like to go to a new section that has a different layout. What is the action script that will move my frame to the right location for example, let's say on one of the instance I have a button that says contact. On one of the buttons, what action script to I have to put in so that it navigates there when someone press it, I would think "on press" go to instance tab contact something of that nature.

View 2 RepliesI am working on a project that I need to create a flash navigation bar for a html site. There will be a drop down menu when you rollover the buttons on the nav bar, which means the drop down menu will be overlaying on top of the html pages. I saw websites were done like this before, but I personally don't know how to do it.
View 1 RepliesI am using the following code for my Navigation in a FLash CS4 file:
stop ();
function buttons(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(event.target.name);
}
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
services.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
It works great when I am on the home page, but stops working once I navigate to any of the other pages. I have an Actions layer and that layer extends the full length of all pages/frames of the timeline.
I have the frames labeled as such: home, services, about, and contact. (All are "Type:Name")
each button is named as such: home/ instance of "home", services/instance of "services", etc.
i have a flash banner with navigation and want the flash to keep track of what page the user is on in order to give the user some kind of indication of where they are.ALSO i want the banner to animate / do some stuff ONLY on first visit to the site, i.e. if they navigate away from the site or close their browser window i want some kind of variable to reset so it will replay the animation on next visit.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to build a page transition in Flash. The way I have it set up right now is as follows:
1) I have a movieClip with the transition animation.
2) I have two buttons, both MovieClips. And the actions layer of my timeline is scripted as follows:
Code:
stop();
mybutton1.onRelease=function(){
navVar="firstpage"
_root.transitionClip.play();
} mybutton2.onRelease=function(){
navVar="secondpage"
_root.transitionClip.play();
}
3) The last from of my Transiition movieClip I have this code:
Code:
stop()
if(navVar=="firstpage"){
_root.gotoAndPlay(navVar);
}else if(navVar=="secondpage"){
_root.gotoAndPlay(navVar);
}
When I click on the buttons, they are loading the transitionClip movieClip. But they are not moving to the correct framelabel after they hit the last frame of that movieClip.
I have been asked to recreate the animated navigation on the home page at [URL] but I don't have a clue where to start.

View 2 RepliesImagine you have a large number of video files stored on a server, and a Flex app which lets users play those videos they have access to. How can you best set this up? Wouldn't the Flex app just be sent the name of the video to play... in which case couldn't someone else write another flex app if they knew the file names? Can Flex play videos hosted on other sites? Is there some clever piece on the server I'm missing, which sits between the Flex video player and the files?

View 17 RepliesI'm currently building a demo tour in flash, I created a main swf that has an intro and navigation. Each link on the main.swf calls a loadMovie and loads each section with external swf's in an empty movie clip. What I'd like to add is 2 buttons, which are next and back, giving the user the flexibility of going through each section, using these 2 buttons. Its just that since each section is an external swf file, I'm not sure how to script the 2 back and next buttons..
