I've been trying to find a solution to this for a while, but I haven't had any luck.I'm making a menu system that uses sliding movie clips instead of separate pagesbut when you click on the 'study at UWS' button, the nested slider kind of goes nuts, until you press on of the side buttons.

View 1 Replieshow to do this sort of navigation system? Just like the one used here:

Click on "Jewels to love madly" and click Rings. A vertical bar comes up that slides up and down with image links.
That's the effect I want to achieve but I'd like it to be horizontal, like the one here:

except that one doesn't use images.
I'm making a classic horizontal sliding menu flash site, but just can't seem to iron out the last little tweak. How do I get the mouse to not react when over the open section, I've tried 'delete mc3.onRelease;' which works, but then that section will not longer work at all after it's been closed.
I've attached the fla and a link to the beta site as I'm finding it hard to explain exactly what I mean:[URL]..
I am attempting to make a flash website, and have 5 buttons on my menu. I made 5 pages in a movieclip called "content". I want to know how I can link those buttons to go to those pages (actionscript and where to put it).
I have seen flash website templates, and see only ONE button, but when I looked at it in an .swf, it shows all buttons with their specific text label.
I'm wondering if anyone would be able to point me in the direction of a tutorial using action script 2 on making an expanding menu system. [URL] This one is a tutorial but I could do with one from the start step by step!

As you can probably guess i am making a rotated menu system. It all works fine except the code above.Basically what happens is that when I click the "MUSIC" button, then the "HISTORY" button, then to the "MUSIC" button and finally the "HISTORY" button, it seems to do the opposite clockwise direction to what it did the first time i click on it.....

I am making a presentation where the user can drag objects around the stage where they animate into different interface formats.
I am wanting only a specific part of the object to be clicked to initiate the drag. I was thinking that a transparent button that was some how locked into position with the actual animated object would be a good idea?
This way when the button moved it took the animated movie clip with it.
Does anyone know of an action scrip 3.0 solution to locking separate movie clips together?Lock separate movie clips together?

I'm having a tough time with a page sliding clip, and not sure what to do.
I've got a movieClip with a page sliding effect that I found here at Flash Kit. It's perfect for what I need, however the effect will only work in that movieClip. Once you try to load that movieClip from anywhere else, the sliding no longer works.
Here's the code that's on the image clip:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;
spd = 5;

View 10 RepliesI'm working on a project where in I've found it necessary to mask a background object with MULTIPLE Sprites. I've tried doing this two ways: making one "parent" sprite to which all of the other masks are childed; adding them as individual masks.
The composite strategy just sort of gave up, Flash doesn't seem to like having to search through it's render tree to do these things and the result was no visible mask or masking (just the full background image). The latter strategy failed for obvious reasons: saying Sprite.mask = so-and-so implies that setting it again will overwrite the last mask.
Is there any way to use the composite strategy? Or is there a way I can copy over all of my sprites and draw them directly into one new sprite on every frame?
I'm making a game in actionscript using the FlashDevelop tool and the FlashPunk game engine. I have a designer making movie clips for me to put into this game using Flash CS3.
My problem is that when I add these movie clips into my game they are playing much quicker than they should. Is there a specific frame rate clips need to be made in within CS3 or any other export options set to enable them to play at the correct speed or is this something that I need to deal with in my code.
EDIT
Another problem that I'm having is that the command movieClip.stop() doesn't work. Is there anything special that needs doing while exporting or the programming side?
EDIT
Here is how I'm loading in my swfs:
public var movieClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

Is there anyway to make this possible?
Lets say I have

How would I go about making my own functions for objects and movie clips?

I am trying to do something pretty basic I think...I have attached a screenshot below of what the site looks like so far. What I want to do is always have the left hand side links showing on the site. I want to create a new .fla for projects and have that load on the window on the right when the projects link is clicked on. What I have done in the past is create the entire website within one .fla but that is getting too confusing. I assume some actionscript is required here which I am pretty useless with.

On my site, i have 3 different Flash Files. Each playing a different part .eg text, content,menu. (because of the design, i can't have just 1 file, plus i want 3 seperate ones~!!!)Now what i want to try and do, is have the MENU(swf1) target a scene or frame in the CONTENT flash file(swf2)So that when you click on about us button, it will target (eg.) frame 3 of SWF2, which contains that information!!ANd also have the MENU(SWF1) be able to also target frames in TEXT(SWF3)Bassically im guesisng its passing variables to and from multiple movie clips!i have no where to start.

I am using Flash CS4 with ActionScript 3 and I am fairly new at it. I am struggling with two things.
1. How can I start a movie clip while scrolling over a button? I know how to start a movie clip when a button is clicked.
2. How can I use multiple movie clips for seperate buttons?

I have an mp3 playing. What I would like is to have a movieclip that is located in the library appear, complete it's animation then get removed. The movie clip must complete this proccess 4 times, randomly during the length of the song but never at the same time and not in the last 5 seconds of the song. BTW I can't do this manually by just firing it off a random amount of times because this code will be used with lots of different mp3's, so I need to use the dynamic data I get by retrieving the song length.
I have the code working to retrieve the length of the song, and I have a variable that stores the length minus 5 seconds from the end, so I bascially have the length of time I wish to work with. My problem is making the movie clips appear 4 times randomly throughout that length of time. The code is below (what I have so far), the movieclip is stored in the library as circle_mc.
The timer I'm using at the beginning of the code (to retrieve the length of the song) is set to run after 2 seconds this is because there is a delay in the music starting and if it did it instantly the number retrieved obviously would be 0, so I delay it by 2 secs till I know the song is playing. At the moment I'm just trying to get it to fire twice, at the moment it fires once or not at all
