I have a menu that use a series of icons which the user can browse with arrows. When the user browse on this menu, it cycle through icons. The cycling have an animation, and it use the Tween function.
[Code]...
I've managed to use a key listener to make this icon move. My next goal is to make the rest of the icons on stage sort scoot over. I can't use the mouse x or Hit Test property. Can this be done using just arrows and code?
- Icon on stage user uses arrow keys to select an icon.
- User selects icon with Enter key and initiates move with arrow keys.
- As user moves icon over the other icons on stage, they move or scoot over.
The selected icon then moves into new place. Animation.gif illustrates this.
I need to make a dance dance revolution-type game. the icons are gonna fall from the top of the screen and the player has to press the keys on the keyboard that correspond.
View 1 Replies1) I am working on a custom FLV player for a website. The users will upload various FLV files onto folders on the server and I would like the users to have the ability to browse those folders and select a video to play.
2) Also, as I will be having the users upload their videos via fileReference in Flash, as soon as their upload of a particular video is complete, I would like the video they just uploaded to begin playing or be loaded and ready to be played. Is there a good way to pass the video name directly into the FLV player on the completion of the download so it can begin playing or at least be ready to play?
When using the NumericStepper I want to force the user to only be able to edit the value using the NumericStepper's up and down arrows. I do not want the user to be able to type in a value directly. How can i do this in flex 4?
View 2 RepliesI'm writing a small application for myself and instead of using a database I'd like to just use Excel to store the small amount of data I have on my local file system. I want to be able to load that data without having to use the typical FileReference browse() method as it would just be annoying to do every time I use the application.
The code below seems to find the file fine as the file.exists method below and most of the other attributes seem to be correct but the file.data is always null.I'm guessing this is a security issue and that's why I'm running into this problem but I thought I'd ask and see if there is in fact a way around this problem.
var file:File = new File(fullPath + "\" + currentFolder + ".txt");
if(file.exists) {
var byteArray:ByteArray = file.data;
}
How can I open a browse dialog for user to select a file ;after selecting file, the address to be passed into a variable for later use?I mean I want btn1 to open a browse dialog and var1 to get the address of the selected file on my local drive.
View 6 RepliesI'm shwoing a step by step process on how I did a photoshop piece, and I want to have a simple flash swf that goes through each of the screenshots at the viewer's pace, by them clicking. I wasn't even thinking so complicated as to include forward/back buttons, even just somethign so simple as having the entire image clickable to move 'forward' and when it gets to the end it just loops or something. super simple, i would do an animaged gif but i want it to be at the user's own pace. but if you think of how an animated gif cycles that's how simple i want it to be. also a few of fading/dissolivng between the images would be cool.

It seems the simplest way is to use the UIScrollBar, but it will not work in my Flash file.I create the dynamic text box and drop the UIScrollBar on it from the components panel, the scroll bar attaches but only shows up as a white rectangle with no arrows. When I test it it stays the same. I don't think it's just the color because when I hover over or click where arrows should be nothing happens, the text will not scroll. I can click and highlight the text to make it scroll, so I know the additional text that isn't showing up is there, I just can't scroll down to see it.The weird thing is in another flash website I have the UIScrollBar does work. I can drag the problem one from the first file into the second and suddenly the arrows appear. I even tried creating a new text box with the UIScrollBar in the working file then dragging it over to the problem one, but the arrows disappear and the bar turns into a white rectangle again.

View 3 RepliesI have them for my arrows to move my MovieClip. It works, but the thing is that my MovieClip is viewed from the side not the top view (and I want to keep it this way). So when I press the left arrow key the movieClip moves but it's facing the same direction all the time. So I tried rotation code but it works for the top view. Then I thought about flipping the miveClip through the y-axis (so that the front will be facing the way it is going), when the left key is pressed.
View 5 RepliesArrows moving on some path (to be determined by a function). Let's this path to be circle. I want several arrows (number of arrows must be determined dynamically so that arrows cover whole circle) to move on the circle and their speed to be controllable (all arrows will have same speed). But my knowledge in Flash is very-very little (I'm familiar with Java/C++ and other Computer Science stuffs, so you can give your advices accordingly). What I was able to achieve after 3 days of effort: Just one arrow moving along the circle. I've tried every possiblity (I saw), but still no success.

how to do a scrolling menu similar to the one on this site?I like how the arrows vanish when you get to the end of the menu.[URL]
View 4 RepliesI am not a programmer, but would like to know if someone can point me into the right direction of how I can create a simple scroll that only uses up and down arrows onPress, similar to this: [URL] only that it should be scrolling an mc.
I would like to be able to set the up and down movement to be a certain y value, like 10px up and down each time the user presses and the stop when the mc has reached a certain y position. Would that be possible? If so, how would I go about it?
I want to make a directed graph. Is there any way i could attach an arrow to the line between two nodes ? I used moveto/lineto to draw the line between source node and destination node and i want an arrowhead to point in the right direction.
View 2 RepliesScotty helped me create an XML pop-up gallery. I'm trying to alter the scroller for the thumbnails to make it look like the scroller on my other pages. However, it doesn't work right. The problem is the arrows... these are the problems that I'm seeing (and you can see, too!):
1) down_btn arrow does not work, but the up_btn arrow works? I'm confused because the coding looks correct for both?
2) I can use the dragger, but if I use the dragger, click on an arrow, and then try to drag the dragger, it will cut off the top of the thumbnails. If you use the dragger without clicking on an arrow, it works correctly.
3) The up_btn does not work with the slider. It will slide WAY UP, but I couldn't figure out how to stop it in a certain position.
4) I would like the arrows to have up/down states when you press the button, but I couldn't figure out how to do that. Would I place the actionscript on the mc or somewhere else? You can see the up and down states when you click on the mcs. But who knows how I can trigger them?? To cut this short, the scrollbar is messed up. I'm not sure how to fix it..
I am trying to create a slider bar that also has arrows. Basically the same thing youd see on the right border of most browsers or document editors.
Everything works fine except for the following: as soon as I use the "dragger", the up/down arrows break.I've poured over this code for several hours and just cant see why. I have a distinct feeling its something to do with the nested onEnterFrame in dragger.onPress.... this.startDrag().
Anyway, here's the code:
/// --------------------------------------------------------
var ratio = 0
var spd = 7;
var scroll = 0;

View 10 RepliesAfter 2 days of trying, I was finally able to make a simple scrolling text with the up and down arrows. It is functioning fine, but it scrolls line by line which is kind of cumbersome. I want it to scroll smoothly until the mouse is released. May be some scripting. But I am almost at 0 point when it comes to action scripts.

View 9 RepliesI'm making a portfolio site in flash. I've placed all these items horizontal in a movieclip (content_MC). In a layer on top of where this movieclip is placed in, I've got a left and a right arrow. What I want is to move this horizontal movieclip (with tweener) left and right by pressing the arrows. For example: when I press the right arrow, the content_MC should move -900px to the left. How can this be done? And if the user reaches the end of the movieclip (with 5 items that would be 4 clicks) the movement should disable.
View 9 RepliesI have a row of thumbnails (populated from an XML list). If you press the arrow, the thumbnails will scroll from the right or left.
