ActionScript :: Designing A Video Title Menu?
Jul 29, 2010
I consider myself a well versed professional in terms of design layout in Photoshop, to Iillustrator, and InDesign. I have just begun to pick up Flash cs3 and have had no problem laying out elements and so on. I understand the timeline, since I do allot of video editingfrom FinalCut to AfterEffects. However what is new and alien to me is ActionScripting I don't know what is best 2.0 or 3.0. I have tried some tutorials in drop menus and so on. yet I'm having issues across the board as to what process to build this video menu page. (see photo below)The function of this menu is that you roll over a green title and a menu drops along side of it, then you roll your mouse courser over the sub menu and click on a sub menu title and a video starts. I believe the functions to be easy and straight forward. yet action script puzzles me. is there a site for beginners or tutorials in just menus like this i could copy and use while i pick up action script whatever.or if anyone has simple code ideas to put or drop in said Key Frames or Layers (see photo below)

I'm trying to edit a Flash file, that get it's data from and XML file.Now when you click on one of the menu items, the page + page title should change, but somehow the page title remains the same. (at least for the first 3 menu items) But when you go to the last menu item and then back to one of the first 3 menu items, the correct page title is shown.I'm no flash / AS expert, so I can't really find out what the problem is, but it seems like it has something to do with this function
Code:
_root.getCurrentText(thisText0, _parent.num);

I was following this tutorial on how to add a scrolling image gallery to a Flash website.
([URL]) From what I understand from this tutorial, it is just a matter of copying the Actionscript code and pasting it onto the timelines then making modifications on the XML. (kindly see a screenshot of timeline layers I made and as to where I put the Actionscript code: [URL]) I pasted the code onto the blank keyframe labeled "Gallery". But all I get is this weird effect when I click on the button for the gallery... (kindly see a screenshot of it here: [URL])

I am trying to load 2 arrays. The first array is a dynamic navigation menu (linkName). The second array is the corresponding title that is loaded in a dynamic textfield. For example if link1 is clicked I want the dynamic textfield to display title1 from the array if link2 is click display title2 and so on. As of right now the dynamic navigation loads fine I just cant seem to figure out a good way to do this without writing a bunch of if statements. I would like it if the programming assumed the that the length of the title array is always going to be the same length as the link array and it finds the corresponding index.
var linkName:Array=["link1","link2","link3","link4"];
var pageTitles:Array=["title1","title2","title3","title4"];
var menuHolder:Sprite = new Sprite;
addChild(menuHolder);
// loading the navigation bar

by following a tutorial on [URL], I was able to display a youtube video in flash, but the problem is that the video doesn't have a control menu. Just wondering if there is a way to make one, either it is customized or some default menu provided by youtube or flash.

I've been asked to put together a simple flash page to that corresponds to a christmas card my office is mailing out. I've got the vector graphics set up and the page story-boarded and how I'm going to script it all thought out. How I can go about designing it for a full screen flash? I know how to set the publish properties, by setting 100% for width and height (among other settings) - but what size should I set as the workspace to begin with?

I want to handle multiple operations on a UI Component (button ,textfield, swfs,custom objects etc) in like scaling,skewing ,color,rotations etc etc and save them too. Earlier the actions were done
using a single tool and single mxml file but now the tool is separated into different tools. Was wondering how i can design / use something like Toolmanager class to handle actions etc?
Also the tricky part is that some objects can have more operations defined for them Like 'object1' has 3 operations that can be performed on it and 'object2' has 5 operations defined on it.
We are using MVC design pattern but no frameworks as such. What are the different design patterns that can be used to do this? Edit: To be more precise i want implement this in AS3 OO way.The application is similar to drawing application which supports addition of various images,text,audio,swfs etc. One added user can perform various operations of the objects..like adding color,scaling skewing,rotation etc etc and custom effects and after that export the drawing as PNG.Likewise some effects that are applicable to text are not applicable to images and vice versa. and some effects can be common.

I am trying to design a pop up card in flash but it's a tough one to work out. I have a flat illustration which my client wants to appear as if it is on a pop up card, but I'm having trouble trying to animate this. Everything I try looks a bit flat, and trying to get the perspective right is a killer.

I'm looking to build a very simple (hopefully!) interactive game.
- A number of balls are situated at the bottom of the stage.
- There are several dropzones which the balls can be placed in.
-Once a dropzone is occupied with a ball, its not possible to populate that the dropzone with another ball until the present one has been removed. -Depending on which balls are present in the dropzones, the balls animate differently. the red ball is placed in a dropzone. There are currently no other dropzones populated with a ball.

Interesting thing is that if I use Array class as parent I shouldn't define child classes as dynamic
So, the question is: Is it possible to design a collection class in AS3 that could be used in for each (...) and will not contain any unnessary methods (like from Array class)?

Is there an advantage/disadvantage to designing multimedia (for example a simple animation with music) using fully as3, or is it the same as using the the editor (timeline)? will it boost performance/speed to code the tweens, clips and textfields?

I am about to design my first Flash website which uses pages of different heights. I want the entire window to be Flash. There will be a background pattern, and the website design will be centered horizontally, with just the height changing depending on which page I'm on. Some pages will require scrolling and other pages will not. If possible, I'd like to use the browsers built-in scroll bar. A few months ago, I would have thought this was impossible to do in Flash, but I actually have seen a website which does exactly this. It's a shame I can't remember the URL. Any suggestions on how I might go about achieving this task? The only way I can imagine is to split up all the pages on separate URL's, but then I won't be able to do smooth transitions between pages.

The question I have today is concerning a design of a Flash Website. Is there any certain way you will need to design a flash site so it can be viewd over cell phone with web access. The reason I'm asking is that I have a friend that say he can view some flash site and some he can't. So I'm thinking tat must have something to do with the way the site is designed.

Firstly, I am using a TextField object of type input as the text input area of the text editor. So I am wondering, in your opinion, what would work best for formatting the text in this field?[code]...
Remember the text will always be changing at the user's whim in the movie, and I am looking for simplicity in applying certain styles to only selected portions of the input text and also setting styles for all future text that is input beyond what is already input (Could be a different style than that of the text already input)
Secondly, I am having a little trouble with the TextFormat Object option. I have a textfield, and a toolbar movieclip (with buttons such as bold, underline, italics, etc) on my stage. I am writing an actionscript class for the toolbar. I want to be able to capture the start index and end index of highlighted text in the textbox, so that say when I press the bold button, the text is bolded or unbolded. I have tried using Selection.getStartIndex() and Selection.getEndIndex() but they have not yet worked for me, as the selection loses focus when I click on the toolbar in the movie. I was hoping there was some sort of onHighlightText handler for the Selection class, so that I can capture the start and end indices whenever text is highlighted. However, there appears to be nothing with that functionality.

I have a very simple bit of AS3 that I can't get to work. I have 4 FLVPlayBack's on 4 frames, buttons on a menu to go to the frames to play the videos, and I need to return to the menu's frame after the videos end. Here's what I have. The buttons to play the videos work, but the function to return to the menu isn't firing. I'm also getting this error as the program starts...
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I am making a videoplayer for an embedded flv and I want the menu mc to appear when the mouse pointer is on the video. My problem, is that inside that mc I have 4 buttons (play, pause, stop, volume). When I make the rollOver, the menu is visible but the buttons are not clickable...

I have created small videos (flvPlayers), with a play and a pause button (from the component menu). I can't get these to loop without a glitch when they start over again. And the buttons dont make it easier. You can see/hear it yourself here [URL] (NB! turn down your volume, its a bass loop), This is the code im using now. As you see, its not good enough, the loop have to go smooth.
Code:
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
flvPlayer.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, videoFinished);
function videoFinished(event:Event){
flvPlayer.play();
};
I found this thread [URL], but I dont understand how to pull it together. How to integrate one of the codes from the thread above?

Basically I'm building CD extras for a band, and they have a bunch of videos that are embedded in the timeline that need to automatically return the menu when they finish playing.I have the menu working fine, and all the videos are linked and playing; is it just a simple matter of replacing the "gotoAndStop" command or is it more complicated?
