i am working on my a portfolio site for my friend who is a photographer and am looking to create a basic menu that when any menu item is moused over it enlarges and the other menu items move to make room for this enlarged menu item.
View 4 RepliesI have created a Menu in Flash using MenuBar Component and actoin script. I want to interatc this menu with Visual Basic 6.0, but unable to do this as I am unable to adjust FSCOMMAN in code.

I must say I'm pretty new to AS3.0 and last night I tried to develop this accordion menu. It's not XML driven nor does it use AS3.0 to create each "button". What I did was create individual "menus", basically like drop down menus, and converted them into separate movieClips. Also inside of them there's a button movieClip which is the larger one that opens the menu (instanced "btn"), a reference movieClip called tabHeight to define its height - since it can depend on the number of "sub-menus" you have - and a tabMask that onClick (is supposed) to open and reveal the "sub-menus" while making everything move according to that change. I want it to basically start with all menus closed and onClick it reveals each menu, making the necessary y movements. I am getting some errors and I can't make it to work.
Code:
Select allvar growingTab:Object;
var reducingTab:Object;
var tabArray:Array = [tab_0, tab_1, tab_2, tab_3];
for (var i:int = 0; i < tabArray.length; i++) {
var tab = tabArray[i];

I'm trying to make a real simple flash menu, and I am using the "Squirrel Finder"-tutorial as a base. Problem is, when I trace my variables desc and swfURL they are correct, and the numbers on the buttons work fine as well, only when I click on the buttons all of them point to the last post in my XML, i.e., buttons 1,2,3,4,5 all point to swf 5.
Code:
function skapaMeny(menu_xml) {
var proj:Array = menu_xml.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var i=0; i<proj.length; i++) {
var desc = proj[i].firstChild.childNodes;
var swfURL = proj[i].firstChild.nextSibling.childNodes;

I have a flash file and in the main timeline four frames and and each frame has a stop action with a different movie clip in it. Frame's 2 movie clip has a move and at the end of it I have a button and want to make it when you click on it you go back to the main time line but the second frame. I have a "go to and stop" and tried others but none of them worked. it only stays in the the movie clip timeline.How do I get it to when you click on the button and it goes back to the main timeline from the movie clip?
View 1 RepliesI kind of understand how to create a basic username and password 'menu' in flash.[code]But I would like to create a menu where a user can create a new username with then will be added to an exteral file ( data base I guess).From there on anything the user does is remembered on that name. And if that user exits the program and loads it again the user's stats are loaded.
View 4 Repliesthere seems to be no accepted method of playing multiple flv using buttons. My latest attempt has me putting multiple instances of the flvPlayback component in different frames and using buttons to navigate to those frames. It works but nothing anyone has posted anywhere will result in removing the flv when you go to a different frame and instance. This was simple in AS2. Load movie to a traget and each time you load a new movie the other one goes away. REALLY goes away.
View 7 Repliesbasically im making a quiz on my main timeline ive got my questions and answers and on the last frame i want it to say how many answers the user got right. ive made a movie clip on this last frame. in the movie clip ive got 11 frames with the posible totals so frame one would be 0/10 frame 2 would be 1/10 etc what i want to do is when the user clicks the correct answer on the other frames i want flash to make the frames within the movie clip to go 1 step forward.
View 2 RepliesI'm in the process of learning OOP and have run into a small problem. I'm trying to create a basic menu system where you can rollover and rollout of all links. When you select a link, it stays highlighted until you click another link.I've given the 5 links instance names like (link0, link1, link2, link3, link4) and given them each an ID of (0,1,2,3,4) - respectively. I used to be able to do something like this:
Code:
this.onRollOver = function(){
if(this.ID != _root.selectedLink){
this.gotoAndPlay('in');
}

I have some code below which creates a background and buttons for a basic website. The site consists of 8 sections, with photos, text, etc.I am trying to "_Alpha" fade the entire page upon page Load. I want each page to have the "_Alpha" effect. So I need a function or a correct call to place on each page's code.For some reason, my code below works for the entire page and one button, but the rest of the buttons, still show up instantly. Notice a few lines below where I actually do my tween call, "//Alpha Ease-In". I am using "this" for my tween, but I have tried "_root", and even each button "_root.but1", etc. but it still seems to give me partial results. Anyone know how to correctly tween the entire page upon load?[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a flash site that has a presentation page it has a menu of two buttons (1) to take you to a slide show and (2) that takes you to the gallery. These are the only two buttons that seem to work in control test movie, I get no errors. The only button that is connected is the slideshow button (I haven't done the gallery yet). This button takes you to frame two. Where I have the main website. It has its own menu that spans across the entire website which is 25 frames.
Each frame represents a new page. I have mini menus at frames 3, 5, and ten. That are supposed to just advance the user to correct frame labels and stop. The only buttons that work are the ones in the first frames. The rollovers appear to work on all the pages when I advance the movie using the [ . ] key but I get no trace statement which means that it is not being acknowledged, all my buttons are named properly I believe so here is the code as well, all is in frame one:
stop();
//handle events for buttons...
Gallery.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Location.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Guest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Lodging.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);

I have a movie clip with 15 frames. Each frame has buttons on it (mc's)... I was going to put the actions on the main timeline/stage and navigate within the MC from the main timeline. Is that possible? I can get the buttons on the first frame of the MC to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to target/make the buttons on the other frames work? I was thinking I could identify the path of the MC with the frame labels, but that doesn't seem to work. like: _root.RMChanger.(frame label).buttonOnFrame = function
I have to move a text box in and out over the MC backgrounds on the main stage... which is why I was thinking to do it this way? I've been switching back and forth bwtween AS2.0 and 3.0
I need a tutorial for a hierarchical drop down menu system that drops down 3 sub levels. Do I make the items in the sub menus individual buttons and then insert them into a movie clip or make every sub menu item a movie clip and insert them into buttons?
View 1 RepliesI am looking at creating a menu with three movieclip buttons on a main menu. I want to keep these buttons on the top of the screen at all times. I am opening different swf's and I want to make sure that the buttons are still showing. I know there is something with changing or swapping the depth of the movie clip when it loads the new swf's in, but I have not found anything that is seeming to work.
View 4 RepliesI am creating a navigation bar in Flash (which will then be used in Dreamweaver). When you mouse over each topic in menu (ex. Products), i want it play a movie clip (so it shoots out a sub-menu underneath). so far so good, but the only thing is, the sub-menu won't stay open in order for me to click on buttons in it. For each button, I assigned it the Behavior to go to a url. Also, I tested the buttons within the mc and they don't seem to direct me to url. do you think maybe it's because it's nested within the movie clip?? Is there an easier way to go about this?

I'm trying to make a menu that has onRelease buttons on top of onRollover buttons (the onReleases are on a separate layer from the onRollovers). The onRelease buttons take the user to different urls, and the onRollover buttons are supposed to allow different parts of the menu to appear.
The onRelease buttons work fine, but I can't get the onRollover buttons to work consistently. Sometimes the onRollover buttons will correctly advance to a different frame, and sometimes they "stick" and do not advance. The script has no errors and I've tried changing the sizes of the onRollover buttons (in case they were too large and the cursor was hovering over more than 1 at the same time), changing the order of the code for the onRelease and onRollover commands (in case the onRollovers were being superseded by the onRelease commands), and countless variations of the layers and frames.
I'm sure that you'll want to see the script, but I don't think that pasting it all on this post would be reasonable? So I've put the .fla and the .swf on this page for reference: [URL]
how to get my navige menu "made in flash" change my second frame to another page.
What i tried whas this
Code:

I'm creating a drop down menu and when I addEventListeners to check the clicks on the invisible buttons on frame 19 of the "menu" movieclip, it gives me an error. T really hate doing rollover with actionscripts. The download link for the fla can be found in below. Sorry for posting an external download link as the file is 7mb+! [URL]
View 2 RepliesI have a Flash 'application' that is all on one frame and has about 2000 lines of AS 2 code. Works fine if it's all in Frame 1, but when I move everything (that's every layer and all the code) to Frame 3, for example, my menu bar component (which gets its data from xml files) doesn't load the data. I want to be able to do this so as to put a pre-loader on Frame 1 which would jump to Frame 3 when the SWF has fully loaded.
View 2 Replieshow to jump from one frame a movie clip, rot menu, to a frame of another, main, through a button in rot menu, rot menu is a movie clip in symbol 1 which is in another (cant remeber) in main. from frame 1 of main i want the button to be pressed and it takes you frame 2 of main.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a button in each frame which directs to different URL in each frame, and buttons which navigate between the frames right.url... Here I uploaded the *.fla file (Couldnt attach to kirupa, cause of the very small size limit)Throws 1009 error for me. How can I make my idea happen?
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a webpage, and I have made some buttons.Image 1 is the homepage, which is frame 1 in Flash.Image 2 shows that when I rollover the button "Portfolio,"I get a dropdown menu.I have this set as frame 3 in Flash.Image 3 shows that I've gone down the dropdown menu and rolled over "Photography." But if I rollout of any of the things from the dropdown menu, it stays at Image 2 (Frame 3)with the dropdown menu visible. Which is a problem...I want to be able to rollout of these buttons to revert back to the homepage, Image 1 (Frame 1).But, for instance, telling "Graphic Design" to go to Frame 1 on rollout means that if I try to go below "Graphic Design" to "Photography," I've rolled out--and so the rest of the menu disappears.So I want to roll be able to select anything from the dropdown menu, and only rollout to Frame 1 if I go outside the entire dropdown menu, not just one button.

I got 2 buttons that i want them to gotoAndPlay at different frames... here is the code
[Code]...
when i play the .swf i get an error message
I have 3 frames and 3 buttons. Each button takes you to their respected frame. However, I noticed that I cannot have 1 key frame of actionsript read the same on those 3 frames. Why? because if I jump from frame 1 to frame 2 or 3, then I cannot jump back. Instead, each frame has to have it's own actionscript. The only thing that would change is the method name. I find it tedious. Is that how it is? This almost felt seem like it would be less tedious but even for 3 frames, I have to change each method name as I build more frames to navigate to. Check my example below:
[Code]...
I'm using the code:[code]in order to direct button named "one" to open website.html in a frame named mainFrame. However, when I then use the same code on each button, opening different URLs it no longer works; whichever button you click on first will open in mainFrame, but any button you click after this will open in a new window.
View 2 RepliesI have a very simple Flash movie with multiple keyframes. Each keyframe has buttons which I'll be attaching event listeners.
I was hoping that I could add all event listeners to all buttons in all keyframes by using a document class. This works for buttons in frame #1, but anything else gets a null reference exception:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I also tried adding a layer to the timeline that spans all keyframes and putting in the eventlisteners (and respective addEventListeners) there. Same thing - null reference exceptions for everything not in frame #1.
I have a button that brings you from frame 1 to frame 2 (on rollover) then back to frame 1 on rollout I want to set the color property of the button so that when it is in frame 2 it apears to be blue and black in frame 1 I want to do it this way instead of the rollover for the symbol because I want to eventually also change the color of a second button with the same control?
View 1 RepliesI have 1020 frames and each frame have 20 to 30 button. All frames contains instances of mention buttons and all buttons have same instance name and shows their respective movie clip. I need to assign code to each button quickly/smartly.
View 3 RepliesI want to setup an event listener on buttons that are on two different frames of "TabContent" (tabs) on my page. I can set up the event listener on the first tab without any issues, but how can I locate the second frame to add an event listener there at the same time?
