I am new to flash. I have had this flash header up on my companies website for live for over a year now[url]...
I want to be able to change the text for the different menu options. (ie. swap About Us with Products).
I am fairly computer literate, yet having a hell of time trying to figure it out in the flash editor. All of the button just say Home and they seem to be drawing from some root, but cannot figure out where that is or how to edit.
I'm creating a menu system, the text buttons should, on rollover, move all buttons to the left (of the button currently rolled over) 100 pixels, in the gap created a sub menu running vertically will appear which will break into a 2nd horizontal submenu etc. I'm still in the early stages, and have hit a stumbling block, I placed a trace (this); cmd in root of the roll over function then again in each segement of the IF/ELSE loop inside that fuction. The trace CMD in the root of the rollover gives me the feed back _level0.btn1 or 2 or what ever button I have rolled over but the ones inside the IF/ELSE loop all say _level0.btn0 regardless of the button I roll over!

I am having trouble with a job I am doing at the moment which has an mc with buttons within it. I want it so that when I roll over the mc it tweens from a small version to a larger version, and on this mc there are some buttons. At the moment I can get the mc to move but the buttons remain inactive and also the rollover states on the buttons don't work. I have attached a simpler version of what I am trying to do to this post.
View 3 RepliesI'm currently working on a flashsite and are trying to figure out rollover menu buttons. The site has 6 menu buttons and are placed next to each other. I want to put a rollover action on the buttons, that when you rollover a button that the whole button image enlarges and moves in front of the other.
View 1 RepliesI used to have a little text panel (that sat with the color, swatches, and align panels) that I was able to open up and edit text size, color, underline, etc with. It had a much better text editing ability then the properties panel, seeing as the properties panel does not even bother to allow me to underline text or to highlight and edit a single word in a whole text box. Now I don't have it, I can't find the damn thing anywhere, and I want it back. How can I get it?
View 1 RepliesI have a bunch of (different) buttons. I want to make it so when I hover over one kind of button, a small movie clip will be created next to the mouse cursor with text inside of it explaining something about said related button.So basically, say I have 3 buttons, Purple/Blue/Green. When I hover over the Purple button, I want a little box to appear that follows the cursor that says "Purple", for example. When you stop hovering over a button, the movie clip would disappear. The movie clip doesn't replace your cursor, it just hovers slightly bellow and to the right of it until you stop hovering over a button.
View 8 RepliesI have a single movieclip named button, and I want to use a "for" to multiply that movieclip, that way I can have multiple buttons and edit them all in a single function.
It would be something like this:
var _button = new button;
for(i=0; i<5;i++){
_button[i]:button = new button;
addChild(button[i]);
}
I am trying to make a flash theme for my website. Lets start off by saying I downloaded a theme already made I just gotta edit the text. What I want to know is how I can edit the destination of the flash buttons they are set to move across the page on a marquee. I am able to find the individual file but when I try putting in
Code:
on(release){
getURL("[URL]", "_blank");
}
It responds Cannot Make this change cause mouse settings can only be done to a button. I understand I have to switch it to Action - Button.
I know this is a tutorial on this site but I'm having trouble finding it, and its been a while so I can't remember exactly how to do it. I just need to make a dynamic text field that you can edit via text file.

I am in the middle of creating a website using Flash CS5. I opened up my .Fla file one day to continue my work but I am no unable to access buttons and movie clips. When creating movie clips or buttons I am unable to get inside them, when I hover my mouse over them there is a white hand icon which never used to be there it was always just a normal mouse icon. I double click to enter inside the buttons/movie clips but nothing happens. This happens to existing movie clips and buttons on the page and even when I create new ones. I really don't wanna have to start this website again.
View 1 RepliesI have about 6 buttons that have an over state and hit state. I have actionscript that has them going to a url when on the hit state and on roll over it is showing a text label. All of that is working. The issue that I am having is that for 3 of the buttons, they flicker when you roll over them. These are built and coded exactly the same as the others that are working. where I should look for the breakdown? It seems strange that there is a inconsistency unless it is the order of the buttons or something like that.
View 1 RepliesI've tried to make rollover buttons, following a bunch of tutorials. I'm a noob, but I'm sure I've done everything correctly!Basically, the compiler shouts at me, while, another .fla that I downloaded and tried to follow with tutorial works perfectly.
View 2 RepliesI am wondering the capabilities of the SWF Format. I have some text in a Flash Video, which is an email address (xyz@somewhere.com) which I would like to write a C# application to edit. I have the SWF File Format Spec and was wondering if the following is possible: If I read in the Tag (I am assuming this text is stored as a Static Text Tag, correct me if I am wrong). Once I found the correct tag for my text I then change the value in the tag and save the SWF file.
View 1 RepliesI'm actually relatively new to flash and actionscript but I could say I have fair knowledge about them. So anyway, I usually build flash websites the traditional way using timeline animation and scripting. Today I had a job interview and they said they're looking for someone who can develop any web design into a Flash CMS with a back-end office for the client to edit the content without having to edit the FLA file or any code.
Accordingly, I'd like to know where and how to start. What are the main concepts I should follow/adapt?
I have a rollover button and I have assigned actionscript to play a sound when the button is rolled over.
However when the sound plays, it seems to overlap the sound and play it many times! I know it is not repeating the sound as I have tested it with a song and it plays the song many times overlapping, rather than repeating it.
I have the code used below:

I would like an animation to play (of the words being scribbled out) and when you mouseout, it goes back to normal. On page click, I wanted the link to change colour so that you would know which page you were on.I have created a frame by frame animation of the words being scribbled out, but I don't know what to do with the animation!How do I insert it into my html? Do I need to use actionscript in flash?
View 2 RepliesI have a map of the United States and have created a zoom effect for each state so that when the user rolls over the state, the state is magnified, and when the user rolls off the state, the state is returned to its original size. Everything works fine if the mouse movement is slow. However if the mouse movement is fast, it doesn't work.
View 1 RepliesI am building a website and I need to fade in/ fade out buttons. Here is an example : My main goal is that when I roll over the services button, I want the submenu (corporate and weddings) to fade in. Then when I roll over the portfolio button, I want the first submenu (corporate and weddings) to fade out and the second submenu ( clients, corporate, weddings, etc..) to fade in and to stay like this. Finally when I roll over testimonials, the second submenu fades out. And so on for the rest of the buttons. I know how to animate the buttons to fade in/out but I don't know how to make them fade out when I roll over the other buttons. I have attached my fla and swf. [URL]
View 3 RepliesThis is probably a really dumb question, but I'm very new to AS3 so please bear with me. I created some rollover buttons (movieclips) for a flash website in AS2 using the following code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) { this.onRollOver = function() { this.gotoAndPlay(1); }}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) { this.onRollOut = function() { this.gotoAndStop(1); } }
on (release){ getURL("index.html", "_parent");}
Could anyone advise me on how to start converting this code into AS3? I know I have to use an EventListener but I don't really understand how it works.
I am trying to create some rollover buttons which will load a movie when pressed, but as soon as another button is pressed the movie playing should turn off, replacing with another movie.At the moment you press the buttons and all the movies play on top of each other

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a menu, where some buttons becomes visible when the user "rollOver" a box the buttons is beneath. Look at http:[url]... menu system, at the main page.I place my buttons within a MC, and gives the MC this AS:
[AS]onClipEvent (load){
change = false;
}[code]....
But when I move the mouse over the buttons, they aren't enabled, probably because flash got the idea that the MC is above the buttons, and that the MC is a button.
I am editing a website but flash wont allow me to edit the text-box size, I can only make it wider, not taller. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to edit a .fla file. It's actually a flash game, a dating sim game to be specific. Now, the game has dialogues where you have to press a "next button" so that the next dialogue will appear, but I've noticed that all the dialogues are gone, they're not appearing at all. It's just a blank space. At the same time, the game has dynamic texts like money, energy and name of the player but likewise it's just an empty space. I've noticed that when I exported the game as swf. The text appears but it's distorted. For example the dialogue "Where am I" would appear as "a aa ii". I've also noticed that when I opened the .fla, it says that there are fonts missing.. I dont know if that has something to do with this..
View 3 RepliesI have created a simple Flash object that presents some text; it's a rotation of testimonials. The client wants to be able to edit/add to the items. He's going to maintain the site once it's handed off through the use of Dreamweaver; I've used templates to lock down the sensitive areas, and as it's a CSS based design there are many.
Is there a way to get rotation of text without having to create the media to do it? I've tried to explain that when a page loads, it's loaded -- it's the media's job to play the pretty things. He says someone told him this would be a piece of cake in various content management softwares, but I'm convinced they meant he could edit one area of text as often as he wanted to add/change the text; not that when you loaded the page you could sit there and it would display, sequentially, N number of text bits while you sat there and watched. But I'm asking, because I'm not a genius here, and maybe there's some way to fit this bill that I'm not thinking of.
