I've seen today this website. [URL]..It's really simple but it's really great. Can you guys please tell me if the use papervision or five3d for the main cubes of the menu? also because the font optimization is really great so i don't know what library they have used...
View 8 RepliesI am trying to build a portfolio application similar to the used by Whitevoid. I am using Flex 4 and Papervision3D 2. I have everything working except for one issue. When I try to load an external SWF as a material on one of the planes, I can see any native Flex or Flash components in their correct positions, but the papervision objects are not being rendered properly. It looks like the viewport is not being set in the nested swf. I have posted my code for loading the swf below.
private function loadMovie(path:String=""):void
{
loader = new Loader();
request = new URLRequest(path);
[Code]....
Below I have posted two pictures. The first is a shot of the application running by itself. The second is the application as a MovieMaterial on a Plane. You can see how the button created as a spark object in the mxml stays in the correct position, but papervision sphere (which is rotating) is in the wrong location.
I have created an XML driven Drop Down menu using the kirupa tut by Senocular found here. I am trying to figure out how to get the submenus to push the rest of the main menu down on rollover kind of like this. Not sure where to start to get the AS to get the button created fromt he XML nodes to move down.I haven't changed the code found int he tut too much and the menu works fine except that the rollovers just go over the main menu.
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'm working on a web menu, that has sub menus. I'm currently trying to get the sub menu to jump back to the main menu if the mouse is no longer inside the submenu zone.
It works if I move the mouse quickly to another part of the Flash area, but if I quickly move it out of the Flash area and onto say the html document, it doesn't update fast enough, and thus still thinks the mouse is hovering over it.
I know I can simply update the movie frame rate which does work, but I was wondering if there is any way to get Flash to check to see if the mouse IS ACTUALLY ACTIVE over it, and if not close the submenu?

View 1 RepliesHas anyone worked with the five3D video3D class.I have started to work with it but when I put a video on the stage and then remove it and add another video the new video is been created to the old videos width and height. Its the strangest thing and I can't seem to find the answer to why this would happen.I first thought it might be a memory issue but I have nulled all the references and its still not working correctly.

create a reflection of the rounder corners rectangle. I realized thet there in no beginGradientFill method in Graphics3D and the gradientHorizontalPlain creates a basic rectangle without rounded corners. Also, I doesn't look like I can use masks in 3D (at least I failed trying it).All I could do is just create a semi-transparent rectangle under, but with no reflection (fading out) effect:[URL]
View 1 RepliesI made some banners with Five3d that I am trying to load as external SWF's into another movie. I setup the classes, etc... however when I test the movie it always says "Call to a possibly undefined method... etc, etc" -- (which is making reference to the Five3d external AS file I used for my banners)...
I am new and still learning about Five3d, is there something else required to load Five3d projects as external movies?
I want to create a card flip effect where I have a card front image, and a card back image. Is there a way to do it so that I have two images in 3d space, one in front of the other, and just rotate their container? If not, how can I achieve this? Also, while i'm using Five3D, i can probably figure out how to convert it if anyone has an example in another library such as papervision3D.

I've created a grid of 3D cubes using modulus, and the 3d cubes are were created from the Math and Flash Tutorial, if you are interested it is here http:[url]....What I am trying to accomplish (and it works, just the performance is lousy). All the cubes in the grid are inactive until the mouse hovers over them, then they start to rotate, and once the mouse moves off them they continue to rotate.Time for the script:
To create I create the grid like this:
public function FlowerMenu(){
var rowY:Number = 0;[code]........
this works, but after about 4 or 5 cubes have started rotating theperformance drops considerably.
I've created a grid of 3D cubes using modulus, and the 3d cubes are were created from the Math and Flash tutorial. I have set up listeners so when the mouse hovers over a cube it starts to rotate:
private function setUpListeners():void {
spBoard.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,boardOut);
}
That works fine.
To begin the rotation of the cube when the mouse passes over it I have used:
private function boardOut(e:MouseEvent):void {
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateSquare);
var i:int = 1;
function rotateSquare(e:Event) {
renderView(curTheta+i,curPhi+i);
i++;
}}
I can see why this would be inefficient, as it is running the loop every every frame, and for so many multiple cubes it just lags (very badly). I should clarify, I'm hoping for the rotation to continue indefinitely once the mouse moves off the cube. Here is how I am creating the cubes onto the "grid":
public function FlowerMenu(){
var rowY:Number = 0;
for (var i:int = 0; i < 190; i++) {

I was wondering which is the best way to create 3d graphics in flash like cubes, balls, a 3d cake or anything.
View 2 RepliesAt the moment I have a flash movie which consists of nine 3d cubes floating around (but confined to) the stage. Whenever they collide with each other they should bounce off in opposite directions. It DOES do this but not every time! A lot of times the cubes will interact with each other in a movement I can only describe as a "judder". I've uploaded the flash file.
View 1 RepliesI need to add 5 cubes made from container movie clips to the stage. So far I have added the container movie clips to the stage, given them instance names and then referenced them in code from there. e.g.
ActionScript Code:
cubes.cubef(cube0);
cubes.cubef(cube1);
[code]....
(cubes.cubef is the function for creating the cube from the container movie clip)So I was wandering if I could dynamically and add the clips to the stage from the library by just using code. I have tried this so far:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i<5; i++) {
var cub:MovieClip = new cube_mc;
[code]....
From that code, I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at cubes$/traverseParents()
at cubes$/cubef()
at rota_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
EDIT: I have solved this. I used an array for storing the instances then refer to it.
ActionScript Code:
var cubeArray:Array = new Array();
for (var i:int = 0; i<5; i++) {
[code]....

So, this works, but after about 4 or 5 cubes have started rotating the performance drops considerably. I can imagine creating that many EventListeners isn't a good idea, but I can't see any other way of doing it.
i want to know how did the creator of otradesign accomplish the effect in his site like the menu and the main contents change size and the menu position according to the size of main contents.

View 3 RepliesI want to have a hidden menu so I have put some buttons in a MC and added it to the main stage but I am having trouble controlling the stage with the buttons in the movie clip.

I'm working on a little project where I have a list of working text I converted to buttons and scituated vertically along the left hand side of the stage. Each button when pressed, triggers a different image with some text. This all works great. The problem is that I have a "Back to Main Menu" button located at teh bottom center of the stage. When depressed, I want this button to clear out the image and text on the stage and leave the user looking at just the original list of buttons along the left hand side of the stage.
I can easily get the main menu button to do this for my first image and text. Here's the code for that:
gbtext_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playGearbox);
menu_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopGearbox);
function playGearbox(event:MouseEvent):void { gearbox_mc.visible = true;

View 4 RepliesAny way to create 3 or 4 movieclips on the main stage then when there's a mouse over, the zoom to the foreground and play. They also need to be buttons as well that lead into sections.
View 1 Repliesurl...I don't really know actionscript and I have two issues.Firstly, and most importantly, how can I make the submenu design different to the main menu? Specifically, I need the submenu items to have different y spacing, width, font heights & background. No probs doing a separate movieclip, but how do I assign a certain movieclip depending on whether it's a main menu or submenu item? Secondly, when the cursor moves off the movie, the last open submenu stays open! This happens in this site's example as well. It only closes when the cursor hits another main menu.
View 6 RepliesWhen I click on Program (main menu), it expands the sub-menus.
1) Now I want that as soon as I click on the second Main Menu (Safety), it should collapse the other Main Menu that is already expanded or ("active").
2) Is there a way to add a "onRollOver" and "OnRollOut" handler on the Main Menus so that the user can mouseOver the cursor on the main menus to expand the sub-menus and to rollOut on the Main Menus to collapse the same.
I need to insert a menu in the main stage and I have three movieclips exported to ActionScript with their base classes.
