Flash 10 :: Page Navigation From Instances On Stage
Nov 5, 2011
From this example image attached, I have created many instances on my stage, let's say that for each instance I would like to go to a new section that has a different layout. What is the action script that will move my frame to the right location for example, let's say on one of the instance I have a button that says contact. On one of the buttons, what action script to I have to put in so that it navigates there when someone press it, I would think "on press" go to instance tab contact something of that nature.
I have a Flash MX navigation on an html page and I want to set up the buttons so that onRelease they will go to named sections on that html page; Thru the use of the <A NAME></A> <A HREF></A> tags.
I am working on a project that I need to create a flash navigation bar for a html site. There will be a drop down menu when you rollover the buttons on the nav bar, which means the drop down menu will be overlaying on top of the html pages. I saw websites were done like this before, but I personally don't know how to do it.
I am using the following code for my Navigation in a FLash CS4 file:
stop (); function buttons(event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndStop(event.target.name); } home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons); services.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons); about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons); contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttons);
It works great when I am on the home page, but stops working once I navigate to any of the other pages. I have an Actions layer and that layer extends the full length of all pages/frames of the timeline.
I have the frames labeled as such: home, services, about, and contact. (All are "Type:Name")
each button is named as such: home/ instance of "home", services/instance of "services", etc.
i have a flash banner with navigation and want the flash to keep track of what page the user is on in order to give the user some kind of indication of where they are.ALSO i want the banner to animate / do some stuff ONLY on first visit to the site, i.e. if they navigate away from the site or close their browser window i want some kind of variable to reset so it will replay the animation on next visit.
i always see some fancy/complex/elements got random motion: flash home page navigation, such as [URL] I just wondering is it very complex/hard to make one? & How can a newbi, like me get started to make one? does it involve complex/advanced actionscript?
I am trying to build a page transition in Flash. The way I have it set up right now is as follows: 1) I have a movieClip with the transition animation.
2) I have two buttons, both MovieClips. And the actions layer of my timeline is scripted as follows: Code: stop(); mybutton1.onRelease=function(){ navVar="firstpage" _root.transitionClip.play(); } mybutton2.onRelease=function(){ navVar="secondpage" _root.transitionClip.play(); }
3) The last from of my Transiition movieClip I have this code: Code: stop() if(navVar=="firstpage"){ _root.gotoAndPlay(navVar); }else if(navVar=="secondpage"){ _root.gotoAndPlay(navVar); }
When I click on the buttons, they are loading the transitionClip movieClip. But they are not moving to the correct framelabel after they hit the last frame of that movieClip.
I am trying to add several FLA videos on the same flash page and control them with different navigation buttons.So, Button 1 to play video 1, Button 2 to play video 2, etc .I have already put two navigation buttons and added two videos.However, I need to know Action Script to enable navigation button to do above.
I've created an image gallery that loads movieclips from my library with a simple navigation system. Everything seems to be working fine however I'd like to add some additional functionality. What i would like to do is have the navigation first appear on a splash page. When a user selects one of the nav buttons, the nav will fade out. The image selected will then fade in as well as the navigation but smaller and tucked away to the side.
Users can then continue to sift through the gallery with new (smaller) navigation. I don't know if any of that made sense so I whipped up a few images to demonstrate what i mean. I've also attached a zip file with the current gallery I've created.

I'm working with Flash Builder 4.6 as an IDE and Flash CS5.5 to create library items. The problem is - when I put an instance of a library item on the stage or inside of another item, Flash Builder fails to detect the instance name that was declared in Flash CS. This doesn't prevent the code from compiling just fine though.
I understand that the IDE only sees the fields that I have declared directly in the .as file, but it really hinders me that I the IDE goes crazy when I do this.
Is there any way to circumvent this - other than dynamically creating and placing the instances?
I have a number of instances of a MovieClip on stage. These are dragged onto the stage and arranged manually. Now, I would like to alter the instances during run time, using as2 code.
how can I name all the instances of the same MovieClip dragged onto the stage, using as2 code? (specify if the solution involves exporting the library MovieClip with an identifier name)
Last night I was working on my flash file and I must have changed some setting that has caused all of my buttons, movie clips and graphics to disappear from my Flash CS4 stage. Instead, it shows each instance's actionscript registration on the screen with a small circle. The instances are still there and show up when exported, but I can't see them while I'm editing the file. The static text and basic grapics are fine. Does anyone have an idea what setting might be causing this? I've tried multiple .fla files and had the same problem with all of them.
I can access the targetObj instance inside the document class, but when I try to access it in another .as class,get this error: Access of undefined property targetObj.
I have created a game in flash, and due to the nature of the game, I have many movieclips placed on the stage manually in Flash CS4. They are not programmatically added as children to the stage, and so I am having difficulty getting access to them in the document class. So far the only method I have been able to use is to do stage.addChild(active_area); (for example), but there are many movie clips, all very differently named, so this method seems incorrect.I've discovered that my MovieClips are not children of the stage, but in fact MainTimeline, as when I for loop through stage.getChildAt(i);, only one child, root1, is traced out. How can I access movieclips that were placed on the stage in the timeline from the document class, without having to manually add them as children to the stage? So it looks like my problem wasn't that I couldn't access the MovieClips, it was that I wasn't modifying the MovieClips' values, so I wasn't registering any change in them.
Here is the code after I fixed it: function manage_cursor(e:Event):void { prevX=currX;
i've been all afternoon trying to figure out a solution to my problem, and I can't seem to find it, or cannot implement it. Let me lay it out for you: I have an actionscript file linked to a movieclip. (movieclip:skate class linked: generic_skate).I have it set up that way so I can create an array of skates easily (i'm using a for loop to create them), and each skate has its own attributes (name, description, price and the image that is supposed to go on the deck)In the stage, i have three text boxes, one for the price, other for the name, and another one for the description.In the generic_skate class, I'm handling all the mouse events (in this case mouseOver and mouseOut.
What i want to accomplish is: when the user hovers over a skate, the info shows up in the text fields and when he hovers out, the info goes away. My problem: Since I'm doing all the mouse interaction in the class file, my guess is that I have to access the stage to get to the text boxes that are placed there to change its info or somehow create a "middle" man to do all the handling.
I have created what looks like a book in flash.There is a corner turned over at the top right so when you click it the page turns. This is fine, however, what i want to beable to do is when I click it the page turns and goes to a new page. ( i have made all the other pages)I tried an on(release) but it just doesnt go to the page, it plays the movie clip but I cant get it to navigate aswell..
i have an swf file to cause a page curl when i click a different link in my site, but as of now it is a blank curl over the page i navigate to. i want to make the current page curl revealing the 1 i am navigating to. how would i go about this?
I want to highlight the current page in my navigation.
I have the code below (duplicated for each button on the page) which changes the colour of the text in the nav when you rollover and then back when you rollout. I'd like to have the text stay on the rollover colour if it is the current page.
I've been messing around with variables and have added the bit onto the onRelease function which displays the "page" variable in a dynamic text box. This works fine, but I'm now stuck on how to use this variable, everything I've tried hasn't worked.
I can understand the principle of what I want to do as I can do it in PHP or CSS. I need some kind of conditional statement, for example (in laymans terms):
if page equals 1 then make text colour red or if page equals 2 then make text colour red and so on...
Code: var up = "0xC5B9B3"; var over = "0xC6006F"; _root.nav.button_1.onRollOut = function() {
If I've got multiple instances of a swf (a media player that I've created), is there a way to stop one instance if a user starts playing another instance on the page? how to communicate with other swf's on the same page?
I made a thumbnails slide, works great, but here the questions. I need the thumbnails to navigation on my home page .. ( go the next page 1.2.3 etc.) Script code on the thumbnails: on(release){ photosMC.gotoAndPlay("img2h") }
I have 2 versions of the same code, both to make 3 simple buttons work to move the timeline to a keyframe to change the page for user navigation. What is the difference? Is one way better than the other?
HTML Code: stop(); var button1:SimpleButton; var button2:SimpleButton; var button3:SimpleButton; function handleCLICK( pEvent:MouseEvent):void { [Code] .....
On frame 2 of my main timeline, I have a movieclip called "intro". Within "intro" I have all of my intro animations. When these animations end, I want to jump to a page I've labeled "homepage." On the last frame (frame #125) of the "intro" movieclip, my as3 simply says:
We are developing a dynamic image slide show which display images dynamically from XML data. We need display the numbers like (1 2 3 4 5 ) from the xml file as per the number of records for images with hyperlinks to their corresponding images. (We also need to display 10 numbers at a time )
I have several Text components added to my application and the value of their text changes depending on different users. I have a problem where if the user uses their mouse wheel to scroll down the page while it is over one of these Text instances then the text seems to scroll up and the first line disappears.
