I am currently making a header for a website, I have made a cloud effect so that they move. Yet I want to create the impression of grass moving, I have the 4 separate grass reed layers yet I'm struggling to make them look realistic?
View 3 RepliesIm trying to create a swaying piece of grass using the easing equation, but I think I'm getting it all wrong. Heres what I have, but it doesnt work at all:
[AS]
blade._rotation=0;
blade.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(this._rotation < 1){this._rotation +=(20 -this._rotation)/10;}
else if (this._rotation > 10){this._rotation +=(0 -this._rotation)/10;}
}
[/AS]
how to make moving objects leave a "ghost" impression of itself behind that automatically shrinks and turns invisible. I've managed to get the original particles to drop, but now I'm looking for a way to get the particles to actually leave disappearing non-moving prints behind them.
View 2 RepliesI want to make:
- a flash header with a cityscape moving from left to right behind a transparent logo
- the header will be included in a html-template with a width of 100%
- theh content of the website will be center-aligned (950px wide)
How do I make sure that:
- the cityscape moves over the full width of the screen, regardless of the size of the screen?
- the logo remains correctly positioned?

I'm trying to enclose an html site with a flash header and footer, the only way I know to do this is with an iframe. The issue I'm experiencing is a MASSIVE amount of excess space. look at [URL] to see what I'm talking about? This mega space was there before I put the iframe in however....how do I get that bottom menu to appear without having to scroll down to see it, whether there's an iframe there or not? Meaning, MUCH closer to the top of the screen. Here's my code so far:

New to this forum, but was wondering if the moving background on this site [URL] is actionscript or just an animation. It looks very cool. I wanted to use the same effect for a school project I'm working on, I am using MX 2004.
View 4 RepliesI have seen instruction on event listeners to get a button to go to a URL or to make a movie pause and whatnot, but what I'm not finding is instruction on how to write the AS3 for a button that simply moves you to a new page within the site itself. Also, if it's a "goto" script, the page that I want it to go to, does that have to be a new scene? If so, how do I merge two scenes together? Essentially, you can look here for what I am trying to accomplish. [URL]
What we want to happen is when let's say the direct marketing button is clicked, we want the other buttons to slide offscreen the way they slid on screen and then a new set of buttons pertaining to the direct marketing will appear at the bottom the way the original buttons appeared at the beginning. Do I need to make these buttons sliding away and a new set of buttons sliding in on a new scene? How do I link the scenes together?
On my site I have 5 buttons for navagation along the top, when you go to the Photos section there is a button that appears on stage and, when clicked, loads an external swf onto the stage, no problems so far.If I or the user clicks this button to load this external swf onto the stage and then clicks one of the other navagation buttons to go to a different section of the site, that external swf doesn't disappear.
View 1 RepliesI want a ball to roll along, and as it does, grass and flowers spring up behind it, in it's wake. I have worked out how to get the rolling ball effect, but don't know how to do the grass springing up. I found some grass and flower symbols in Illustrator which will suit the purpose. I thought of loading them into the deco tool as one possible way, but there might other ways.
View 6 RepliesI've got a grass animation, where the blades are blowing around in the wind. This works exactly as planned. But I've now got to bring flowers in to the mix and need to adapt the actionscript to have an effect on a shape/movie clip. I've tried to adapt it as best I can, but my coding skills are ropey at best and I'm having no luck at all.
View 1 RepliesI am aware of the built-in 'Strings' panel within the Flash IDE, however is this the best way to go about creating a multi-lingual AS3 site/application nowadays?Are there any recommended 3rd party APIs/frameworks available? Ideally I'd like to be able to change language on the fly and support as many character sets as possible, I will also be dealing with both static and dynamic text content.
View 6 RepliesI have a website which i have built and work on alot, and i would like to create a sort of interactive map (the site is a surf webcam site, and i would love this map to be of the uk, and when you click on certain areas, it zooms in in a sort of google earth type thing, then showing locations of my cameras which the users can click to go to the correct page.) Now I did make something like this ( without the spinny stuff) using jquery and hiding divs etc, but I think to get the best effect would be to make some sort of flash applet. Now I am a complete begineer with flash.
View 1 RepliesI've never created a full Flash site and really want to. The tutorial on the Kirupa site on Creating a Full Flash Site [URL]... was great but I have a question... probably a stupid question, but I have to ask it anyways. Did you have to create the linked swf files separately? Those pages have fun features on them as well - but since the fla files weren't included in the download .
View 7 RepliesI started creating a site using the Smooth Transition tutorial and came upon a problem and would like to ask for some advice. I was able to go through the tutorial without any problems. I than moved my button(s) to an external swf file that gets called. No problem here as well, i just added a _root. to a few places.
Now in this swf, I have a mc and in this mc i placed the button but it stopped working. I didn't think the path would be any different but I was wrong. Here is the current AS I have with the button in the external swf's main timeline:

I am creating a web site that will use XML to load content - a sort of video gallery.I plan to make scrolling movie clip for navigation containing instances of the single clip - "movie", which contains thumbnail, title and link, and I plan to use duplicateMovieClip to create as many MCs in navigation as needed.
But I have the following problem:I made a single MC - "movie" that takes the title, description and link from XML.I take the lenght of the XML nodes and duplicate the movie clip through the following code, where the variable j is the required number of MCs:
dist = 100; //distance of the new MC
_global.k = 0;
for (i=0; i<=j-1; i++) {
[code]....
Every of the movies get the same value of the k.Is there a way to pass the exact value to each of the MCs?
Ok so I have bought books and watched hours of tutorials and its painfully obvious that I am not picking AS3 (or any scripting)up very well.
I am creating a Flash Portfolio site and I am curious about the correct architecture. If I have a central Nav with corresponding animations, should the whole site reside on one stage or a new stage per animation?
If there is a FAQ or tutorial on Kirupa that covers this (I might have missed it)feel free to simply direct me there.
so i have a project where i will be making a website. I will be using flash to make it interactive and visually appealing. I found a website with a really cool entrance page,please view it he mouse moves, the background looks like its moving.

View 2 RepliesI've heard there is a package of software that allows you to create virtual URL's for a flash website.for example: mysite.com/contact -> maps to code in AS3 that chooses the contact page in the site.I think it also works 2-ways so that when the contact info is shown in the flash site, the URL in the browser's address bar also changes.
View 2 RepliesI have created a flash sit in flash pro. On one of my pages i have a bunch of thumbnails that i want to be able to scroll through and click on and have it open another browser window to an html page I have created.I have placed all the button individually in a motion clip, so I can fade them onto the page when I go to it, and I then have selected all the buttons and changed them to motion clips so I can scroll them.
I created an action file and placed it in its own layer in the first motion clip that all the buttons are on.I am getting access of undefined property errors on all the buttons when I debug.Below is what I have written, I hope someone can tell me what I am doing wrong. I am new to this.

I'm creating a site that loads external .swfs as pages. I have little understanding of how Loaders and instance names work with AS3 (even after reading the documentation), so I'm having some difficulties.
I'm loading the .swfs in a movie clip named "container." I want to replace the contents of "container" with the web page .swf that the user chooses, but I don't know how to write the condition to:
a) check to see if something is already inside "container"b) remove the contents by instance name or method of MovieClip. I'd prefer to remove whatever is inside of "container" rather than switching cases for different instances.

Any links to any tutorials that teach how to create a full site with Object Oriented Programming? I am one year in now on Flash and AS3 and think I am getting pretty good at the basic AS3 principles and creating dynamic sites. Now I want to start migrating over into OOP so that I can create the more dynamic and browser friendly Flash Sites, but OOP is much more complex and would like a good example or sample of how to finish a full site under OOP coding.
View 6 RepliesI'm working on creating a gallery for my portfolio site. I have thumbnails of all my work. I've turned them into button and made it so when you rollover it, a larger preview of it appears with a description of the piece, off to the side in a designated area. Instead of making my stage larger or creating more pages to contain all my thumbnails, I made a vertical scrollbar. The scrollbar works just fine. The problem is when the thumbnail is moved, the rollover that would be moves in relation to it.how can I absolutely make sure that any rollover I create with a button is where I want it to be, no matter where the thumbnail moves to?
