My question is, Is there a way to highlight and active button when i navigate to different page on my site?Home - highlighted when on the homepage
View 1 RepliesI like to know how to pursue this effect to have the active button highlighted. So visitors know which page are they on. Second part is how to have the fade out effect on the rest while have mouse over on certain text
View 9 RepliesI have a swf that I'd like to navigate with keyboard arrows to access each active button.
(a) navigating through 'hit state' buttons on a menu page using arrow keys
(b) a highlight_mc that remains on the focus item.In the same swf I also have key press methods in place.
I feel like this is an easy issue, but maybe some input form a PRO could unlodge my thinking.
I have a menu with 5 selectable items. I would like to add a 6th. This is a side menu and they are stacked on top of each other.I would like to know how to highlight the current menu selection using flashvars and this page is html. Like I said I have searched but nothing is making sense and no one has offered to help as yet.Sometimes when I am browsing that site the flash menu up the top doesn't display, but hitting F5 brings it right up. There is a go to and play the last frame action in there. Could that be causing it? I have uploaded the file as well if anyone wants to have a look at that.Maybe someone can explain this to me Link to possible resolution. Here is a link to the page where it is in use, the site is yet to be finished.
I have uploaded the fla files into a zip.
Here is the code on my buttons, which work fine.[code]...
How do I setup these buttons so that when button1 is clicked, and the button1 page is loaded, that the button stays in 'Over' state?
And just to elaborate, when button2 is clicked and loaded, I want button2 to be in 'Over' state while button1 goes back to normal.
So basically, how do I highlight the active menu item with my 'Over' state?
I found this script but it doesn't work. My buttons are not in a movieclip, and the instance names are but1-6.[code]The script is on a new layer called actions. Can anyone tell me why this script has NO effect whatsoever?
View 1 Repliesi have an array made of movieclip squares named "quiqua" that are positioned in a grid with coordinates (grouped into another array named "coo"). Both the arrays have a numeric variable named saturaz. when i click on the coordinates i want to highlight that coordinate and select only the elements which fit with the "saturaz" value. It works fine but I can't figure out how to tell Flash to highlight just a coordinate (and the squares that match with that value) at a time. This is the code.
Code:
var quiqua:Array = [rosa, blu, viola, giallo];
var coo:Array = [sat_sessanta, sat_settanta];
var saturaz = uint;

I have a menu with about 5 items, they all work great with this code on each one:
Code:
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>1) {
_parent["b"+_root.link].play();
_root.link = 1;
_root.play();
}}
(The number 1 changes 2-5 depending on button)
Works great, now.. When I hover over a menu item is turns green, I click it, it takes me to the right page, but I want it to stay green. And when I click another page I want the other menu item to turn green and all other revert back to regular. How do I do this?
So, I've always struggled with the best way to do this. I have a method, but it seems like there's gotta be a better way.
Say you have an array of menu items
Code:
var menuArray:Arrary = [item1,item2,item3];
, and onRollOver they receive a certain color:
[Code]....
I realize that there's some additional code that would need to be written here, but you get the point. Basically what I'm doing is disabling the button so nothing happens onRollOut. Then I'm setting all the buttons colors to null, but changing whichever button was flagged as active to red.
It seems like a really ghetto way of doing this, and you notice a visible flicker in color of the active menu item if there are a lot of items in your array. Does anybody know a better way to handle this?
I'm trying to do is use the "page up" button to navigate to different labels on the timeline. The problem is that the labels are in different scenes (for example label_5 is in Scene 3). So each time I go to a label outside the scene, I get an error message.
var myLabels:Array = [ "label_1", "label_2", "label_3", "label_4", "label_5"];
var nextLabel:String;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressed);

I have a flash animated logo with sound on all of the pages of my website. My goal is to make a mute button which when clicked will work on cookie base or php session (?) and will mute the sound of the logo on all pages for the given period of cookie.
View 1 RepliesI have a flash button embedded into a css/HTML page that I want to use to navigate into a new page without opening a new window. Here's the code I'm using in the SWF which I got from the adobe tv tutorial:Here is the test page that I have embedded the flash button in:The flash button is the "about Ian" button on the upper left. I want the navigation to be like the traditional rollovers on the page. (I'm working my way up to having the embedded flash button fade into place, that's why I'm using flash.)

I built a drop-down menu navigation scheme in Flash. I've inserted it into my Dreamweaver page, but the links don't work. They only work if you were to set it to open up in a new window. Is it possible to have your main navigation be a Flash file, but link to your Dreamweaver pages?
View 5 Replies[URL].. If you navigate to the health+science section on each site, you'll notice in the dev, the XML displays properly. If you check it out in the first one (not dev) you'll notice a break or two between each line.
The swfs and XML are identical. Anyone know of a reason why it would change like that?
I have recently created my own flash site and have added videos on it through creating my buttons. The videos are working fine, however when I click to another page the video is still playing. I'm really pulling my hair out over how to get the video to stop every time I naviagte around my site.

View 6 RepliesI have a menu with five nav buttons (atcually MovieClips). Each has three frame labels: "on", "stay", and "off". The rollover and rollout animations play flawlessly, but I'm at a loss as to how to give each button a sticky "active" state. I'd like the button to stay in it's active state until another button is clicked, then I would like it to play it's "off" animation. Each MC has this code:

I have 10 buttons for various pages on a website I am building. I am only dealing with the first 2 buttons so far: home and about (laborLaw). On my about page, I wanted to have buttons to navigate to another frame where the viewer can Read More Details. In order to get my button to work, I had to type about_mc. before the event listener of that button. Here's the code that worked.
about_mc.laborLaw1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, laborLaw1);
function laborLaw1(evtObj:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndStop("laborLaw1_fl"); }
So I am now able to navigate to frames from buttons inside the mc. My next task was to build a close button to navigate back to the about page from the "Read More Details" page on a 101. Here's the code I used on frame 101:
(stop);
// the following is to navigate back to "about" (Labor Page)
closeLabor1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, returnLabor);
function returnLabor(evtObj:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("about");
}
That worked great BUT, once I navigate BACK to the about page using the closeLabor1 button, I am no longer able to navigate to any other button such as the home button. Here's a video showing exactly what happens. [URL]
I am having difficulty navigating to different MXML pages in my Flex application. I checked some other questions on SO about it but they seemed to be to do with tab navigation. I am trying to navigate from one MXML page to another via Actionscript code.
View 2 RepliesI have a flash map included in my site usually like <object... and so on. I have seen on some websites that on page load the flash is already active, I mean, on my map you have to first click on it and then start interacting with it. I want to make it on page load already available for interaction, so user when hovers over flash it would already work, so that user doesn't need to click on the map to start interacting with it.

I want to learn actionscript properly, but it's for my final project for school and I'm a bit short with time. I'm in a design course, so they don't bother to teach us coding (design courses are lame, I should have gone with programming), but I really wanted to know how to create this effect in order to make what I had in mind.

I have just done couple of banners for Dettol with BG sound, now the client wants the sound to be stopped when he navigates away to a different web pageThe issue is Mouse-over the banner and press alt-tab. The music keeps playing and you can't stop it!Without mouse-over (music is playing at thispoint), press alt-tab and go to another application. Press alt-tab and comeback to the browser and the music starts playing, even though the mouse is not over the animation for reference
