i'm trying to create a animated button, when I roll over the button the movie plays and when i roll out of the button the movie continues playing animating back to its first position.The problem is it only works one time,if you roll over a second time over the movieclip the animation doesn't work again.
View 3 RepliesI have this animated button that I created from a tutorial, but am a little confused at to how I could set a hotspot for the button, the button is just a white outline square, no background image, so the button is not completely filled.it only triggers when rollover line, am I making any sense.is this the easiest way to create an animated button in as3, seems like there is alot of script??
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to create an animated movie clip button in AS2 using CS5. The button should fade in/out as the mouse moves over and away from the button.Lets say my frame rate is 30 FPS. When I insert a motion tween on frame 1, the timeline is automatically extended by 30 frames. I then select frame 30, select the button and change the alpha value to 30%. When I drag the head marker back and forth, the button fades in and out smoothly exactly as I wanted.But I want to create a motion tween between frame 1 and 10. So I select frame 10, insert a keyframe, select frame 5 and insert a motion tween. Then I select frame 10, select the button and change the alpha value to 30% like before. When I drag the head marker, there is no fade in/out. When the head marker is exactly over frame 10, the button is faded, but when it is on any frame between 1 and 9, it is normal.

View 3 RepliesFor a project I wanted to create something, that resembles something like this:- a very detailed waterdrop- some kind of ooze- some kind of amoebaSomething like that. A roughly round organically animated thing, with a darker outline. Now I wondered how to realize this. I basically had three ideas so far.a) I draw the outline with actionscript, using drawing function to create dynamically a shape out of curves, fill it with a fitting color and make the outline more distinct using the linestyle. The problem: I'm not sure if there is any realistic chance to also animate this without using thousands of lines of code.
b) I create several round shapes that are close to each other. All of them have the same color, and I move them slowly around, so that they look like a single shape with a curved border slowly animated. Then I add an outline by creating a thin but very strong glow effect. Problem: These filters take up a lot of processing power, and the Glowfilter will be slightly blurry (beeing a glow filter after all), which is not the effect I want.c) I draw the shapes by hand, give them manually an outline and animate the thing using tweens and stuff. Problem: I don't think I can animate them fluently enough that way.
For example, check out [URL] They enable their users to capture videos of themselves and then create animated gifs from them.
Just so this isn't construed as spam, I do not work for Gifyo. It's just an example.
Can this be done now with HTML5? Should I maybe us Javascript? Flash?

I'm relatively new to flash, and just upgraded from Flash 6 to Flash 10. This is a HUGE jump for me, but strangely, I already feel more at home in Fl10 than Fl6, as it is more object oriented, and as a hardened programmer, I like.I'm attempting to create dynamically animated objects in a flash application. I can't think of a way to approach the issue without either a: converting each keyframe into a bitmap, or b: brute-force generating each frame every step of the way.Seeing as my application will have hundreds of the little bastards on the screen at any time, option b is out of the question, I presume.
So, essentially, I have a few questions about AS3:
1) Can a curve be modified after it has been drawn, or must it be cleared, then redrawn each frame?
2) Can a IK chain modify curves, or is it only per-symbol?
3) How fast can flash render complex objects in 3D? (I.E. would drawing hundreds of 400+ poly objects be too much?)
4) How fast can flash draw vector objects? (I.E. would drawing hundreds of creatures made up of dozens of curves be too cumbersome?)
I need to create a flash banner that has an animated Northern lights or aurora borealis. Does anyone know how to make this kinda thing? Are there tutorials for something like this? I would assume that this would entail creating fractals.
View 1 RepliesI am using Flash CS3 to create a button for a site I am building in Dreamweaver CS4. The button I am trying to create looks like a volume knob on a guitar amp. I need it to point to zero and then "turn up to 10" over a period of 3 seconds when the user hovers over it. It also needs to play a sound. I have created seperate images in photoshop for the knob pointing at each increment 1-10. I added these to a new Flash doc on separate layers. Saved it and it plays as expected when in preview. However I cannot figure out how to get it set in a button. I have created simple buttons but not one that "plays a longer animation" like this.
View 2 Repliesi am trying to create an animated button, using a Movie Clip.
1. I create a Rectangle with a fill.
2. I convert it to a Symbol (Movie)3. Double Click on the graphic to create it's on Timeline.4. Why do i then need to convert to a symbol again?It will not animate unless i convert that timeline button again.
I have been trying to add a link to an animated button. I have it as a symbol for button and within the button symbol I have another movie clip symbol for the mouse over it will animate. I am trying to add a link to the animated button but it won't allow me to add actionscript when I get into the button symbol for the UP, DOWN, OVER, HIT, but it will allow me to add actionscript when I am in the scene. I have tried a few different actionscripts in the scene but it seems there is always an error and the movie clip keeps repeating the movie when I have it only running once, but when I remove the hyperlink actionscript the movie over runs once like I want it to.
View 1 RepliesI have an 800x800px button within a 800x800 stage, in the up state only 200px of the button are visible, the others 600px remains out of the stage, the over state is a movie clip with a spring-like animation that brings the button to the left to a viewable area of 600 pixels (while now only 200px are left out of the stage). the down state is very the same than the over (without animation, so no changes in size at all).
The problem here is how i set my hit area: if I set it to be the size of the up state then the button works the way it's supposed to work but if i move the mouse just i little to the left (just out of the hit area, remember, same size as the up state) then is considered not to be on the over state so i come back to my initial 200px button. By the way if i set the hit area to match the size of the button once it has completed it animation on over state (600px of viewable button) I fix this issue but then I will click the button even when I'm out of the UP state.It's possible to place a movie clip inside the hit area so that it always mach the motion of the movie clip inside the over state?[URL]This is an early prototype of the site but you'll see what i mean, my buttons are the numbered tabs, when you roll over there you'll see they become animated but i planning to make this animation much more exaggerated and then is when the problem come...
I'm jew to Flash and I'm trying to make an animated button in Flash CS5 that has the ability to turn music on/off. I've followed different tutorials, and right now I'm trying to use an animated movie clip with an "invisible" button over it. I want the animation to swap frames when the button is clicked, and I also want the music to toggle on/off when the button is clicked.For example:When the button is pressed, the animation switches to say "press to turn off music" and the music turns on.But so far, the button isn't working, and the animation won't stop switching frames even when I enter the "stop();" code.Does anyone have any idea how to make it so that the button works together with the animation and music?

View 3 RepliesI have a button that contains two videos and I need to throw in
HTML Code:

but for some reason, it doesn't work because of the structure I built it with.
If I take a static image, make it a button, and put that in, it works no problem.
I've created an animated button where when you rollover it - a message box appears. My problem is that the button hit area is the whole size of the movie clip (including the message box), so the box will appear even if you haven't rolled over the button.
So basically I want to define the hit area to just the size of the button itself, rather than the whole movie clip.
What I'm trying to is make a button that when you click it, it swaps the button out for an animated graphic. So that the button looks like it turns into something else. For instance, I have a house on a hill and when you click it, a person should come out of it. And another instance, there is a bottle and when you click it, it sprouts legs.
Is there a way to do this without swapping the whole scene? I have other animations that are constantly playing so if I were to do that, it would mess up the other animations.
Here is the code I have from some tutorial.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
houseBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, houseClick);
function houseClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
}
I want to make 3 animated gif files for all 3 stages of button. If I use transparent png files when creating gif Im gonna preserve transparency of png files, my question is if I import transparent gif animation to flash and convert them to button stages are they going to keep their transparency. If somebody know how to do this please help.
Gif animations is going to look like this: metallic looking orb rotates on transparent background on x axis from left to right side of gif file, what I need is that when I upload swf file containing this gif to internet, you can see only metallic orb and everything around it need to be transparent so you can see web page background. It should be looking like flash file is part of the background and interacting with it.
I have created a button in Flash CS4 with AS3. It is an invisible button over a test tube illustration. I have created an animation of an empty test tube illustration that fills with liquid when you click on the invisible button. The duration of the movie clip (test tube filling) is 26 frames at 18 frames per second (about 1.5 seconds).I have put in action script that sends the viewer to a URL when you click on the (invisible) test tube button and it works as expected.My problem is that when I test the button, it goes immediately to the URL without me being able to see the full animation of the test tube filling first.
My question:How can I delay the action of the button linking to the URL to allow the viewer to see the full 26 frames (about 1.5 seconds) of animation and THEN GO TO THE SPECIFIED URL?Found lots of stuff about delaying using intervals?? in ActionScript -not making any sense to me. I am a beginner/intermediate in Flash and know very little about AS - i find most of my AS stuff on line on forums etc.Here is my action script 3.0 on the last frame (26) of my animation. teach_btn is the invisible button.
stop();
teach_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,mouseClick);
function mouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void

I have try with ActionScript to call the animation to play when mouse is over, but also nothing.
Can somebody give me code or where can I found some button, when you go over it with mouse, that animation start to play.
first I made a curcular button which animates when the mouse rolls over it which you can see here: [URL] I have since realised that I want to have the button produce a drop-down menu and I followed and adapted the following tutorial to try and accomplish this: [URL] I ended up with this: [URL]
I had to change bits as I have the initial glowing animation in there too. Im just trying to get it to work at the moment. A Blue box should appear beneath the button (Once I get it working I will change this to an actual button of course) when the mouse rolls over the button (aswell as the glow animation playing). The problem is that the blue box doesnt appear, the glow animation still plays but no box. In other words, it isn't going to the "open" label on the timeline for some reason.
I have been tyring to export an animated banner, in animated.gif format. it's a simple animated text with no gradients. it should go on top of a graphic which has some gradients and is multi-coloured and with effects (the colours are similar to the one/i used in the page) as you can see here the text looks a bit funny.url...
