creating a car configurator such as in the following link. [URL] I would imagine users would be able to choose:style/model of car

View 2 RepliesI have to create a visual configurator meaning an online customized shirt designing application where user can design their own shirt using fabrics given along with size and styles to cuffs,collars and so.this concept is implemented in BrooksBrothers website which uses Scene7 to do it.But,I can't rely on Scene7 and must do all wireframe designing myself.I just found [URL] which quite implemented the way to customize hoodies and "nikeid" also implemented customize shoes and shirt designing.
All I am asking you is how to proceed or which areas should I focus on like,should I look on for Papervision3D texture mapping for DAE materials,or going for advanced Bitmap manipulation or look advanced masking techniques.Further I too want to learn and implement a framework so that my coding style will be much more manageable and I am choosing Cairngorm.Is it ok or not.I am trying to figure out the procedure to make this customizable application but all I want is some guidance towards the path which I can follow.
I have extensive experience with MS Visio Solution development, and have a need to provide similar functionality in a web interface in the context of a heavily visual product-builder or "configurator". Visio functionality that I hope to reproduce:Visual shapes stored in a sidebar, from which the user drags and drops onto a drawing area Shape creation on the user's end is probably not necessary... just arrangement, sizing, changing parameters etc.A back-end for extracting the parts the user has dropped onto the drawing area, including the parameters they've changed, dimensions, relations between components etc.In the most general sense, I just need an interactive interface.Given the above parameters, is Flash a good option? Is there a development environment that might be better?

View 2 RepliesI am working with flash 6 with a map that is already made.
1. find a layer with a name "LINKS".
2. Press F9.
3. The window "Actions" will open.In it a window you will see the following code.
4. In it a code you can change links for any state.
//Washington
_root.map.state1.onPress=function(){
this.gotoAndStop(10);
getURL("http://www.yourdomen.com/yourpage.html");
Easy enough except for the fact that there is no layer named links. All the layers are numbered. I can't get a response from the company.

I am trying to generate a list of links via xml using as3. I have created a movie linkHolder and a text field called linkText.
I then add link text to linkHolder and add linkHolder to the stage. I have an eventListener attached to linkHOlder which calls a function and when I roll over the links it activates the function correctly.
How do I give a unique id or reference to each button so that I can pull up the correct link associated with it?
Here's some of my code:
Code:
function createVideoLinks():void{
for (var i:int=0; i<externalXML.videoClip.length();i++){
//build the arrays of link text and link destination
vidText[i]=externalXML.videoClip.vTitle[i];

View 1 RepliesI am on the last leg of finishing up a full flash site and all of a sudden out of nowhere I started getting this error when I try and test the movie.
"Error creating Flash movie file. Be sure the destination file is not locked or on a locked drive. Also, check that the file name is not too long."
Nothing actually changed in the flash file besides scripting when it started occurring. I went back and erased what I had done. Tried moving the frames to a new project, tried saving it as another file, saving it to the desktop instead of my external. Nothing works!! The strangest part is that it will work fine when I delete a couple text fields and then if I try and add something to the stage it will get the error again. Almost like I've hit some sort of limit.

I searched on Google but the best I found was this:[URL]. It looks simple but it requires some sort of extension which costs �70.I made a rough design of the jukebox in PowerPoint. I don't know whether or not I will be able to actually make something that looks like it though.
I am trying to create a flash program that will create a slideshow on the fly. I have a collection of music and images that I want to put in the show. The program will pick a piece to play randomly and the next image to show is also picked randomly. However, the speed at which the images will be shown in the show is decided by the tempo/speed/mood of the music at that moment. In one piece of music there will faster and slower movement, and the slide will fade in sooner if the music is faster and vice versa. The show will keep running until the program quits.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a pull down menu. Not one that drops down when rolled over but one that drops down when clicked and stays down until an item is selected. Once an item is selected or the menu is clicked out of it retracks again.
My strategy is to create a movie clip for the initial menu that when clicked jumps to another movie clip where ther menu is extracted and houses movie clip buttons that hightlight when rolled over and when clicked redirect to another movie clip related to the button that was selected.
is this the proper way to do this? And second: can you offer some direction for the action script?

I am having trouble using the name of given button to determine my loader URL. If my button is called yerBasicButton_bt ... I would like it to utilize a reuseable function to dynamically determine and load a URL named yerBasicButton.swf. In this manner yerBasicButton2_bt would then load a movie named yerBasicButton2.swf, and so on. So the function looks at the instance name of the calling button to determine it's URL.
stop();
unit133bd3ba_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getUnitSWF);
function getUnitSWF (e:MouseEvent):void { var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader(); swfLoader.x = 25; swfLoader.y = 368; var swfURL:String = e.currentTarget-"_bt"+".swf" var swfURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(swfURL); swfLoader.load(swfURLReq); this.addChildAt(swfLoader, 0);}
