I'm trying to create a rotating banner with buttons and hyperlinks... I create previous/next buttons for the banners, but I want the "Previous" on the first banner to revert to the last banner... and the "Next" button on the last banner to revert to the first banner.

I am a complete and utter newbie when it comes to flash. I've bought Flash Professional CS5, and I am looking for a tutorial/help to create a rotating banner ad similar to the one on [url]...
Example: I've got four different pictures I want to rotate within let's say 3-4 seconds per picture. Each of the picture needs its own link, so people can click to get to the correct place. I want the pictures to "fade out to the left" when changing)
I have a banner ad that cycles back and forth between two ads, and am trying to set it up so that when the first ad is up (5 seconds or so) and the viewer clicks on it, it goes to one URL, and when it changes to the second ad and the viewer clicks, it takes them to a different URL.
View 5 RepliesI want to replace the cloud banner with a series of pictures of equal height, but each picture needs to link to a webpage when clicked upon.
Can this be done? I do not need to know all the details of the "how to"
So:
1. can this banner contain pictures that contain hyperlinks?
2. if yes, can you give me some hints on how to accomplish this?
I am creating a flash banner ad with 5 images that will rotate in view. How do I place a hyperlink with each image that apperas? Is that through image maping or anchor tags? or is it a type of script i need to write?

I've created a sphere, and used a texture of Earth to create a rotating planet (using movie material). Is it possible to add buttons or other interactive objects to the material itself that will be clickable?Is there any other method for doing this (for example if I want something to happen when the user clicks on Australia...)

Flash noob here using cs3/as3. I'm trying to create a simple banner which fades between 2 images, looped. (This I can do!). What I'd like is to have each image link to a different url. I've tried changing the images to buttons with the following actionscript:
on (release) {
getURL('http://www.mysite.com', '_self');
}
but get the following error: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances even though they are buttons! I thought this would be really simple, but obviously not! Any ideas are gratefully received.
I have a banner that I'm creating, it has 5 images that rotate via motion tweening. I've created an invisibile button (and also attempted to create multiple buttons) so that when you click on a specific image it will bring you to that URL. So far I have only gotten it to work for the final URL. No matter which image I click on, it only brings up that last URL.
Here is my code:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler1);
function buttonClickHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.google.com"));
}

I've got a simple rotating banner and would like to have an mp3 play if someone rolls over the banner and stop if they move their mouse away. I grabbed some code from this forum and placed it on my button instance but it's not working. Here are the working files: [URL]. I've "linked" the mp3 file and given it the ID of "makin" and posted the following actionscript on the button instance:
Actionscript Code:
// button actionson (rollOver){
// creates a new object from Sound classyourSound = new Sound();
// attach the 'idSound' named from libraryyourSound.attachSound("makin");
// start the sound attachedyourSound.start(0,1);}on (rollOut){yourSound.stop();}

I want to have a fade effect in between different images, but I don't know how to incorporate it. Could somebody modify this code or tell me how to modify this code so that it will fade in between images?
View 4 RepliesIt's been a long time since I've messed with actionscript, so I'm back to being a noob. I found a thread on this site that gave me some code that almost worked perfectly. The only problem is that it plays the first swf twice before moving on to the next swf. Once it moves on to the second swf... everything plays once then moves on to the next swf and loops continously - as it should. How can I get it to play correctly without the doubling of the first swf?
heres the code I used:
_root.onLoad = function() {
Count = 0;
swfs = new Array();
swfs = ["22.swf", "14.swf"];

I'm trying to make a rotating banner with buttons on it (check the uploaded FLA... I had to set the extension to *.zip to get it uploaded, so once you DL it, change it to .FLA). It sorta does what I want it to do right now, but my code is really... REALLY awful. The only thing I can say about my code is that the functionality is close to what I'm looking for. Basically, this is what I want it to do:
1) banner consists of 3 different banners that rotate out with an animation in a continuous loop.
2) little buttons in the lower right hand side will whisk you to the appropriate banner, but will NOT be clickable on its specific banner.
3) rolling over the main banner img or the button will also pause the movie
4) clicking on the main banner img will send you to a URL I have a very hard time finding a way to be able to call a function over and over again without remaking the function and renaming it. If you have some time, please take a look at the FLA and pass me some pointers. I am using Flash CS3 if that matters.

View 14 RepliesI have been playing around with some simple flash banners with 3 movieclip stages. One clip starts at the top and slides down to the stage and holds for 3 seconds and then slides off too the bottom. Then a clip slides in from the right and holds for 3 seconds and slides off to the left. Then finally a clip slides in from the right, holds for 3 seconds and then slides of too the left. Pretty basic stuff.I have been doing all this in keyframe with a little easing. But I would like to do this with actionscript(2, as this is to be published on various sites).I have been looking at the tween class for this without the need for frames,

View 5 RepliesI currently designed a website for my client in wordpress with rotating banner headers. The website theme is space and astronomy, hence my client wanted banners about space shuttles and galaxies etc. I have been able to do this .. but with one small hitch the banners are in the size of 50-70 KB each. You can check out the website at -[URL] What I wanted to know is
1. Is there a wordpress plugin which installs adobe flash on the website?
2. Will making the banners in flash reduce the load time?
3. Will using flash affect the user experience as I believe many mobile brosers and iPad's do not support flash?
On this site, the rotating flash banner at the top works fine in IE and Chrome, but when opened in Firefox, it doesn't load the picture or advance automatically. If you click on one of the other buttons to advance to another item, it works fine, but on page load, it will not work.

how to change the names and the hyperlinks of the buttons given in this file...
I'm trying to build a banner that rotates (fade in, fade out) our clients logos on our company website. If you look at [URL] at the bottom of their site they have client logos fading in and out using some sort of Flash script. What needs to happen is anytime a logo is dragged into a folder on our website it will automatically go into the rotation of logos appearing on the website.

View 3 RepliesI have some basic knowledge in PHP and am learning XML, and basically have decided to prepare my site for the future by switching to strict XHTML / php (plus it needs to be updated anyway). It is a hybrid site with HTML and Flash elements, and each HTML (soon to be .php) page has a single .swf as the nav bar. Is there a way to externally assign hyperlinks to the nav buttons within this .swf? I've done basic external assigns (with .txt files into dynamic text boxes), but this seems a bit trickier. Basically, I want to be able to update the .swf without opening flash, changing the links, and then publishing a new .swf.
View 6 RepliesI want to create the same effect that is on this website: [URL]. There are four links below the rotating images. when you mouse over each button the image changes. It changes over top of the previous one. When I create this effect, it seems to jump back to the background and then it fades to the image. I want the image to fade over top of whatever image is already there.
I tried using loadMovie and have each image load on top of the other level but the only problem is that once a movie is loaded on top of another you can't call that previous image up again. It's like once you load level 10 over level 5 then level 5 can't be seen again until you refresh the page. Is there a way to just tell it to loadMovie over the current level without actually calling that level?
What I have is a circle image (for this purpose lets say it looks like a clock). For example: when you click 3 o'clock, the whole clock needs to rotate around with the 3 o'clock btn at the 6 o'clock position (with the pivot point in the centre). each of the 'time' positions (2 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock ...etc) needs to be a button and thus be able to rotate around to the 6 o'clock position. This would seem simple enough by just using a .rotate value or using tween movieclips...however the tricky part is:
The actionscript needs to determine which way the clock turns (anti/clockwise), dependant on where the clicked time-btn's position is. it needs to be some sort of if statement that says: If (3'oclock-btn) is positioned between 0 degrees (being original 12'oclock position) and 180 degrees (original 6 o'clock position), then rotate clockwise to the 6 o'clock position. If the (3o'clock btn) is positioned between 180degrees and 259 degrees (12 o'clock position), rotate anti-clockwise to the 6'oclock position.
I have a circular rotating menu made up of a few buttons. When the mouse rolls over the a button in the movie clip (rotating menu) it stops. My question is how do I apply easing to it, here is the actionscript I applied to the buttons:
on (rollOver) {
stop();
}
on (rollOut) {[code].....
I am editing an existing application that has three sets of wheels that spin. inside each each wheel are buttons that lead to a second movie layer.this second movie layer is on rollover and on release to show information.after wheel has spun twice the button actions inside the wheel still work but they are the wrong actions for each button symbol..........
prior to the wheel spinning it makes a calculation in a form.would i use movieclips as button symbols? ..
I've got a problem with rotated buttons in Flex. They seem to contaminate other components' focus rectangles. Take the following source code, which couldn't be much simpler:
[Code]....
Now execute it. Click in the text area, the focus rectangle is correct. Press tab twice, the focus rectangle aroung the TextArea is rotated! Is there a fix for this, or should I avoid rotating buttons altogether? I'm using Flex SDK 3.5.
