ActionScript 3.0 :: Invocation Of Transition Classes Laid Out In Prior Pages Of The Book
Mar 28, 2009
There's a recent Apress book, Elst, Jacobs, Yard. "Object-Oriented ActionScript 3.0." Berkeley, CA, 2007. In it is this invocation of Transition classes laid out in prior pages of the book:
[Code]...
I've run the code, it's cool, I'd like to use the transition mechanism they created (beginning on page 411). In the middle of the code a .png is called up from the directory. But I have my own .jpg on the already on the stage, and I'd like to apply this book's
code to that. I just want to fade out the button I already have on the stage. How can this code be rejiggered to do that? The code can be downloaded from the Apress site [URL]
Looking for a tutorial to make individual pages (jpg or gif) into swf pages so we can add links in an on-line flip book. I have flash, but have not learned as of yet.
I would like to add some more pages to the book (there are 8 MCs now) but I cannot figure out how to do it - which part of the AS is responsible for that? I am gazing at the code like a drunk cow but cannot find the solution.
I have played around with the pageflip tutorial on this site, i am having some issues adding more pages? {URL]. I seem to be able to increase the number in the variable, this creates more pages when I preview the project, but brings up some errors. Even when the pages are created, they are blank I'm not sure where i create the content for them? in their own movie? then where do i drop them?
I've been away from Flash for a few years and I can't even do the most simple tasks now... :-/ Not being able to assign scripto buttons is really annoying. It makes thing neater to edit, but takes getting used to.I basically want to be able to flip between still pages of a virtual book. I have the pages, I added the stop(); command and two buttons. What code do I need to write to simply flip through the pages?
I was looking over the script from AS.org. for the page flip navigation.[URL]But see the thing with the script from AS.org is that it does not allow you to use images as the pages.
Ok I was looking over the script from AS.org. for the page flip navigation. Looks kinda like this awesome example. [URL]
But see the thing with the script from AS.org is that it does not allow you to use images as the pages. If anyone knows another open source or could lend a hand.
I basically want there to be a series of externally sourced pictures displayed like pages of a book, each viewed one at a time. I want to be able to move between them with the left and right arrow keys. I also would like a variety of different transitions but for now I'm just working on one. In short I have the following on my root frame:
ActionScript Code: //Declare page vars var currentpage = 1; var nextpage = (currentpage+1); var previouspage = (currentpage-1); [Code] .....
Then frame three plays through a tweened transition till frame 13 that simply contains: ActionScript Code: _root.transitions.gotoAndStop(2); From 14 to 22 is exactly the same but a transition for a page turn in the other direction. When it loads it just loads with page1 and then nothing works. (By the way, for those who look at the project file, I know the images aren't loading in the right places but I'm gonna get to that once I've got this problem sorted).
I am new to the site and was wondering if there is some kind of actionscript that will automatically make the pages of a book turn like in castlevania lord of shadows opening.
creating a flip-book in flash (using AS3) . I've looked at the other flip-book programs and editors out there, and none really give the customization that my company wants.I have something working, but the page scoping seems to be off. The pages will turn back and forward with a button click but they flip out of order. However, it all runs fine with no error when the user clicks on the pages themselves. This is the code from the main timeline (where I'm getting an error).
I have been looking all over the internet for a tutorial to which will show me how to re-create this effect on images.[url]...
I dont want to install these 3rd party components, because the project I am working on at present, may in future need to be edited by other designers/developers.
l basically completed my entire site, which has a few layers and over 400 frames which are broken into different labeled sections on the main time line.The entire site is located within one scene.After that l decided to add a loading bar with AS3. lt kind of works but only goes to 40% of so and then jumps to the second frame.l took the code from
function loadProgress(my_content:ProgressEvent):void { var percent:Number = Math.floor( (my_content.bytesLoaded*100)/my_content.bytesTotal );myLoadText.text = percent + "%";myLoadBar.width = percent * 2;}function
I'm building an AIR desktop application. At one point the application loads a popup window (an MXML component based on s:Window), which contains an mx:HTML component which loads a local (in the application directory) html file, blank.html. The relevant elements in blank.html are:
<script src="jw/jwplayer.js"/> <!--JW Player's JS-based Embedder--> <div id="jwtarget" /> <!-- the target that the embedder will use -->
Since the parameters I want to use are determined at runtime, I use the domWindow property to invoke the method which loads the player. Here's an example that works:
Some may know that PHP methods can be remotely invoked from Flash.Sometimes the input parameter of a remote PHP method is an array of integers.Because PHP is dynamically typed an attacker can pass an array of anything.The array of integers has to be used in a SQL query.[code]
I need to make a point in a Flash video where the video stops and pressing a button will move to another frame. I understand there is something called a "stop action" but not what this means. Using other online instructions, I end up with the video not stopping and the button not doing anything.
I have an old swf, perhaps created prior to player 7.When I load this swf into a newly created swf it no longer works as expected. I suspect that it is because it was created with _root used to scope variables.I applied _lockroot to the container MC that loads the old swf but this does no good. I suspect this is because the old swf was created prior to player 7 and _lockroot does not work with these.Now to the question. Is there anything I can do to get a swf created prior to player 7 to work with _lockroot?
I'm trying te load tour-dates from an XML-file into Flash using XMLConnector and a DataSet. So far...no problems. Now I want to filter out all dates prior to the current date.
using the following code i am trying to get a movieclip to reposition itself prior to loading an image. Then once the new image is loaded - the other movieclip will reposition itself. Currently, the functions are cancelling each other out - b/c the one function is within an onEnterFrame - take a look:
As you can see - i have a button with an onRelease command telling the movieclip to reposition - then onEnterFrame once the file is fully loaded the movieclip should return. The problem with this is that it does not allow the movieclip to move for the onRelease b/c the onEnterFrame is saying to go to the other position. If i add the delete this.onEnterFrame the movieclip - on future loads will reposition for the onRelease fuction but will not return.
I am using the MovieClipLoader class to load a bunch of images, and I am trying to build a loader that has a single percentage for the whole batch of images. I need the.bytesTotalof every image prior to loading them, so that I know the total number of bytes I am working with to calculate the total percent of all images that have been downloaded.
My issue is that it seems to be loading the images in a generally linear way (loads all of the first pic, then starts loading the second pic, etc...) and .bytesTotal is returning as 0 for all pics that have not yet started loading.
Anyone know how I can grab the total bytes of each image prior to the actual download of the image?
I would like to know how to track my pages with google analytics to see which pages are getting the most clicks. My site is XML / Flash the menu is xml. Could I put the tracking code on each of the menu items in the xml file?
How can I add a Squeeze transition effect between frames using the transition manager class on a simple slideshow using the goBack and goForward functions in ActionScript3? Below is the code I have so far:
stop(); function goBack(event:MouseEvent):void {[code].....
I have a pause function that fires when the first frame of my swf loads.[code]However, if the user navigates away from this "Welcome" section, the actions following the "pause" still fire. I need to find a way to stop the pause function prior to the actions executing. Below is the function used to trigger the navigation events and where I should be executing the action to stop by pauseMC.[code]Just one additional note, all my functions live on frame one of my main timeline.

I made a very minimal javascript bookmarklet (~1 KB minified) that lets me play videos inside a distraction-free lightbox. In my script, I clone the <embed> element containing the movie and wrap a lightbox div around it, so even in those cases where the "Turn Lights Off" chrome extension fails, mine works. Only problem is that since I clone the <embed>, I lose any buffering I had done previously. This is a major turnoff as I'm on a slow connection and I don't always remember to load the bookmarklet before hitting play — the UX is downright horrible.Is there a way to improve the script so I can isolate the <embed> in a lightbox without losing any buffering done prior?
Here's my bookmarklet code (you can try it out on this site)— puts an icon next to any <embed> element on the page that you can click to isolate that <embed> inside a distraction-free lightbox:
i have a flex app that transitions between 2 states with the toggle of a button. my issue is that the effect of fading only seems to work on the 2nd transition and after. However, for my first transition... going from State1 to studyState... there is no fade effect whatsoever, in fact the components in state1 disappear completely (the footer fills the empty gap where the "body" use to be) and then the flex recreates the studyState (without any fade refilling the "body" with components only in studyState). After this first transition however, going between studyState and State1 working COMPLETELY fine.. why does this happen and how can i make it so that crossfade works STARTING FROM THE VERY FIRST TRANSITION?[code]
I have a presentation using the "presentation" template that comes with flash. I am trying to transition slides with the behavior slide transition options. but I've learned that it works find while going into a slide and doesn't go to the next slide when leaving.So basically I want it so that on right arrow first play out transition then go to next slide.
