ActionScript 3.0 :: Prototype A Tabbed Interface In Flash?
Oct 22, 2009
I need to prototype a tabbed interface in Flash, AS3. I was thinking of 3 MC buttons on my timeline (let's say there instance names are; tab1, tab2, tab3).
In theory I would have a respective MC (instance names; content1, content2, content3) for each tab and when the tab was clicked on, it's MC would appear below (i.e. tab1 was clicked and in result shows content1).
Any guidance as to how I would structure this in Flash I'm blanking on the code structure to get this working and can't use easy goto's on frame ids as once performed in AS2

I've got a container swf that loads a few content swfs... now what I'm trying to do is get those content swfs talking to each other (the site is [URL], where the home slideshow, work and firm sections are each separate flash files). Specifically, I'm trying to get buttons on the home slideshow to link to their respective projects in the work section.
I've got home.swf dispatching a custom NavigationEvent when a button is clicked, with the clicked project's id attached to it. My index.swf catches the event, but this is where I'm stuck. I can't get it talking to work.swf. As far as index is concerned work.swf is an instance of Loader, and doesn't have the functions I'm trying to call. Right now the functions are on the timeline on frame 1. Do I have to move all the AS in work.swf into a document class and implement an interface that I can use to cast the Loader in index.swf?

what I'm trying to make first, so: [URL] the big main box that shows the lastest stuff You can mouse over the small boxes and the content in the main box changes, and if you don't do anything, it goes through the different stories like a slideshow [URL] - like the ign box but hovering over it doesn't do anything, you have to click the button for the content to change So I'm trying to create a mix of the above two, like a slideshow but doesn't change when you mouseover, instead need to click it (see attached file).
What I've done so far is add the time interval, and created links on each page to each other, but if I click a link or let the slideshow run more than one loop it starts speeding up uncontrollably. I think I need to use clearInterval or something, but can't find any tutorials that actually make sense.

My app has 3 categories of buttons, I want to have a tabbed panel I can use to switch between the 3 categories like in this example:
My app is a mobile app though so I can't use mx components. When I try searching for mobile tabbed navigation etc., I come up with only viewnavigator examples.

I have a mp3 player I am trying to make/modify for a website I am working on. It has three tabs for different CDs. Each tab is its own .swf file being loaded in with its own player. When you click on another tab it unloads the swf and loads a new one in. My problem is that some of the player's info is not being unloaded. If you swap tabs a couple times the progress bar will not work and things start to get a little quirky. How would I completely unload the files to make this work how it should? here is the live example [URL]

I followed this tutorial on making Tabbed Content with swapDepths, but mine isn't working quite right. When you click a tab the text and icon disappear behind the tab. So each tabbed page is an mc and there is a button for each tab that has this AS on it:
on (release) {
_root.btn1.swapDepths(3) ;
_root.tab1.swapDepths(2) ;
}

I have a project that has 4 views where I'm using the tabBar with viewStack/NavigatorContent. I have a couple HTTPServices set up gathering the XML and converting to Bindable ArrayCollections. When and how is the best way to pass that data to such things as charts, dataGrids, etc. that aren't seen until the user clicks a tab? Right now I have each item set up with creationComplete functions that pass it then. Although it seems to be working, is this the best way, or is there something better and maybe even quicker?

I am working on a Flex TabbedViewNavigatorApplication with three tabs (ViewNavigator elements). I would like to switch from one ViewNavigator to another based upon a user action (via ActionScript code).I know that switching between Views uses pushView and popView, but I'm working with ViewNavigators, and my searching revealed nothing useful.I'm trying to switch from Tab2 to Tab1 when an event occurs. In this case, Tab2 contains a list, and when the user makes a selection, I want to jump back to Tab1.
<s:TabbedViewNavigatorApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
creationComplete="onAppReady(event)">

I'm trying to set up a user interface with a tabbed panel design.I've set it up with 2 frames within a parent MC. Basically to switch between the panels, the playhead is moved between frame 1 and 2.The Actionscript that controls the buttons on both tabs (frames) is on the parent timeline. Problem is that when I switch to frame 2 and back, buttons that were working on frame 1 are no longer working. I figure that by going to frame 2 and back the instance name is 'forgotten' by the AS.I can fix this by simply putting the AS on each of the 2 frames, but was wondering if there was a more elegant way of doing this ie keeping all my AS in the parent timeline.

I am currently designing a website for a fiend and would like to make the content of the website tabbed. What I mean by this is I would like the visitors to click on a tab (e.g. Contact) and the tab would slide out with the appropriate information inside. Okay so that part is easy, the problem I am having is that when one tab slides out all of the tabs on layers below the contact layer get covered up. I would still like for all of the other tabs to be visible. I would like for all of the tabs to slide out as if they were behind all of the other tabs.

How can I use setInterval in movieClip.prototype? This code increase num value just one time...
MovieClip.prototype.testFunc = function(num) {
var num = isNaN(num) ? 0 : num;
trace(num);
clearInterval(this.slideDelay);
num++;
this.slideDelay = setInterval(this.testFunc, 4000,num);
};
var testMc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("testMc", 1);
testMc.testFunc(0);

This doesn't make any sense to my feeble brain, and I've reached my googlefu limit.
I have a bunch of prototype methods that I use to speed development up, and most of them are attached to DisplayObject or InterActiveObject. Here's an example of one such prototype:
DisplayObject.prototype.$click = function(clicked:Function, released:Function = null):void{
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, function():void {
clicked();

I found a cool prototype function here in the forums that plays a movieclip backwards:[code]I have the protoype defined on the main timeline of my main file. I call the function on press of a button from an external movieclip after it's loaded into main.When testing it in flash it works beautifully. When I test it online it doesn't work at all. Other code on the button being called at the same time does work (like unloading a movieclip on the main timeline).

Not sure how many remember what flash paper was, but it was a program that converted PDFs into a flash application.So I am building it in AS3 (not the conversion process, but the viewer).My question has to do with the zoom feature, well I guess the previous/next buttons as well.The way the previous and next buttons work is they reference an array of Y values of where the next page is. The array looks like this:
0,800,1600,2400,3200....etc
This works fine, however, when I go to zoom those values are not accurate anymore more.
Whenever you Zoom up I up the scale by += 0.1
Whenever you Zoom down I down the scale by -= 0.1
In that process I need to update the Y Value array to match the new height of all the combined pages. How could I do that?

EVERY SINGLE WEB SITE that has a flash file embedded on it causes my flashlog.txt file to display the following message, usually multiple times while a flash file is loading...
Warning: 'flash' has no property 'prototype'
This happens literally every single time I load a web page that contains a flash file embedded on it, regardless of where.
Otherwise it seems to trace all other errors and trace commands just fine.
Is this something I actually need to be concerned with in my development? I am assuming no since I get this warning in the flashlog.txt for every single flash file I open in my browser.

I've created simple swf with interface:
public class Test extends MovieClip implements ITest
{
public function Test()
{
[Code]....
So if I have test.swf in the same directory(local way) it work's fine. But if I'm placing it on the dedicated server: (event.target.content as ITest) returns null. However, I can access speak() without interface like this event.target.content.speak("a!");

how can I increase the size of flash CS4 interface? Meaning also to enlarge tools buttons, so they are easier to see. I have to strain my eyes, because all of the toolbars and text related to them are too small, for constant work.Is this possible? I know there is one way - to increase display DPI settings, but that would also increase the whole desktop, but I would like just to increase flash interface text size and if it is possible then also tool buttons.

I am creating a Mac cd rom with a flash interface and want to open folders on the cd by clicking a button on the interface. I read the this can be done using a bit of applescript but I'm having trouble executing the applescript from flash, I have save the applescipt as an app and when I run it I independently it works fine but when I try to run it using FScommand from flash no joy?
This is the action I'm using on my button:
on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "test.app");
}
I have also created a folder in the root of my cd called 'fscommand' and put my script app in there but still it wont work?
