what was done to create the cool effect at this site? [URL]..When the links on the left are rolled-over an image appears in a small window that follows the cursor. Very cool.
I was hoping to learn how to do that, myself, but can't figure it out. No need for a step-by-step tutorial, just a word or two to point me in the right direction.
I'm using the following code to create a very cool rain effect. Problem is, I only want the rain to last about 10 seconds, then I'd like it to fade away. I can get the background to fade, but the raindrops still appear. How I can accomplish this?
Code:
for (i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
var newDrop = mcRaindrop.duplicateMovieClip ("mcRaindrop" + i, i);
newDrop._x = random (350);
newDrop._y = random (20);
newDrop._xscale = random (100);
[Code] .....
How do I create a cool effect where when I click on a menu item, the layout chages size according to the size of the content on the page.URL...How did he do it? Actionscript or just transitions?
View 3 RepliesI was wondering if there is a code that can make flash recognize if a certain frame has already been visited. Is there a way to go about doing this? I was thinking about making a function that traces a frame when the player is already one it. I want the function to deny entrance to that frame after it was viewed once.
View 4 RepliesOn a flash time line we've got this movie, it plays and then on the last frame there is action script to stop it. (prevent loopage) However, after the movie stops there are a couple of movie clips that loop forever, one of which is a spinning navigation. The navigation spins and spins for eternity, until you mouse over it. When you mouse over it it stops spinning. Theoretically you can then click on the button, which will lead to the page, that you want to go to.Now, making the buttons lead to the page, that's not a problem. The problem is, that before I want it to jump to another page, I want there to be a....how do we see...entrance animation to play.So like, if you click on blue page, a blue square will fade in on top of the button you just pressed, it will grow larger and cover the page, then bam, new page loads (new page would be designed in blue, thus you get the idea?). I know how to use a button to load movie, to make a complete flash site, but I'm not doing that, I want the pages it jumps to to be in html. But I know about doing that too.
What I don't know how to do is, make the entrance animation show up where the button currently is. Because the navigation is spinning and because it pauses on mouse over, the buttons are never in the same place. I know the loadmovie command can load a movie on top of this one, but it generally just throws it up there, or you can specify a point, but how can you specify that it load starting where the button is?
I know this cant be too difficult, but please entertain me I want to create a button on my web page for zoom in and out (the whole web page).
In IE you can achieve this by doing the following - "Press and hold the contol button and then press the - (minus) button (Ctrl -)." or click on the view option at the top of the browser>>zoom>>zoom out.
I am trying to create a page transition that will play a movieCLip transition into a page. and then it stops then when another button is pressed, it will play that transition out while loading the appropriate one. In the attached FLA, if you click on the red button first, the blue transition plays,
--red button code--
mybutton1.onRelease=function(){
_root.transitionClip.play();
}
and then stops on the stage. When you click the green button second,
--green button code --
mybutton2.onRelease=function(){
_root.transitionClip.play("out");
_root.transitionClip2.play();
}
it works correctly/ Playing out of the blue Transition and into the Red transition. However if I click it again it does the opposite, and just keep alternating.
If I add the
_root.transitionClip2.play("out");
to the first button then, nothing works right. I will eventually have more buttons, and may need to use a variable to control which "out" transitions is played, but how do I get the buttons to do this?I just want it to exit the current movie clip and play the "in" section of the desired clip.
I found this site. It has a lot of cool usefull stuff, plus you can put on your own stuff and sell it.
View 1 Repliesi'm trying to build a flash site and ran into a problem... i have a gallery page with a bunch of page numbers at the top. when you click on one, a movieclip loads of some images coming in.so the problem i'm having is that i made a little animation for when you roll the mouse over the page number (they scale up when the mouse is over, scale back when the cursor moves away)... what it's doing is when you roll over, it goes to a certain frame in the timeline and plays that animation.that's all working cool, but i need it to not do that once it's clicked on. so basically when you actually click on a page number, the over script should stop until you go to another page... here's the code i've written,
function over(event:MouseEvent):void {
this.gotoAndPlay(30);}
function out(event:MouseEvent):void {[code].....
In "flash website templates" we see some amazing transition effects between the pages, I wonder how they do it? Are they made of flash? or those effects are created in some other application like "after-Effect"? or are there any special tween engine to make effects?I have been searching for a while...but still confused and looking for guidance.

View 3 RepliesHow to make a cool homepage content slideshow like this one[url]...
View 2 Repliesso maybe this animation is not that cool. But line 'draw-on's like this are quite common and I cannot find an easy way to do this in flash. I have tried masks, but (as far as I can tell) the line path is too complex for a mask. I have tried animating it using shape hints, but flash just gets hopeless confused as to how I want the line to animate on. I could export this as an swf out of AfterEffects, but the file size seems way too big for what the animation is. I have begun to realize that maybe this type of animation is often achieved using actionscript.

This is such a cool effect, how do I do it?
I have the following code but it only works when published for flash 6 and I need it to work for flash 8.Ive tried to tweak it but cant get it to work.I think it would be best if I could make a function out of it - ie:call the function like:myTextbox.textEffect("this is some decoding text");My actionscript is coming along but Im still learning.
Code:
myString = "this is some decoding text";
charDisplay = myString.length;

I am working on an as3 slideshow class and I came across a blog post that gave me the idea to use better transitions than the sliding out and fading I originally intended to use. [URL]The source for that class is available and it is a good starting point but I wanted to check and see if anyone know of similar projects that had more effects. Right now I just have the random explode effect from the above link and before I start working on effects I wanted to see what was out there.
View 1 RepliesI am having trouble working out exactly what is happening behind the scenes when dynamic menus/ submenus get displayed with some effect.I am able to read in an xml file, create a menu, and display submenus with the use of a rollover event. The submenus appear immediately, all at once. However i would like the submenu items to appear with some effect.The "models" button in the top left corner has the features i want.1. With a mouse over i want a menu to appear. The first submenu item to be appear is the last on the list.2. when the mouse drifts off the list, the submenu retracts in the same order it appeared
View 7 RepliesI was taking a look at this site [URL] and really liked the drag functionality to navigate. You can drag up down, left and right. I wanted to try and get the same effect. I would assume creating one big movieclip and adding the drag functionality to that. My concern is that it might not be optimized. Do you think I will need to load content on the fly? Or do you think I will be able to load everything in the initial load and keep it running from there? If there is a specific name for this effect?

View 1 RepliesI would like to ask your opinions about sites that have multiple themes available and allow the user to change the theme while navigating the site. What do you think about this? Is it a cool or attractive option? Is it unprofessional? Is it worth the work of development? Have you implemented something like this? I have been thinking about developing a system for a site to allow support for multiple themes but I am not sure if that would be professional and worth it.
View 3 RepliesI am going to build my first ever flash website. how to design cool and stylish websites? Like the flash websites we see at [URL], I don't want to order from web designers there because it's way too much money to buy unique websites, so I was wondering if you guys know any tutorials (other than google) where I can learn how to build these cool and stylish websites? Mainly I want to learn how to build animations such as when the mouse hovers, an animation begins. I already know how to code in ActionScript with Adobe Flash CS5 and Dreamweaver CS5, so I'm not those newbies trying learn new code, I just want to learn how to design Flash Websites with those cool and stylish animation features.
