Is there a setting that can be adjusted to keep the panels (ie Output Window, Actions, etc.) in Flash CS3 from 'sticking' to each other and forming panel groups? Most of the time I just want to slightly move a panel and it automatically snaps to another one, re-adjusting its dimensions and visibility.
I am using a for loop which creates 4 panels inside a tabnavigator. the problem is the panels all display in a vertical row. I am wanting to have two panels in row one then another 2 panels under that in row two. Not 4 in a vertical line.
I'm currently underway in designing the UI for my game's level editor, I'm not using Flash's build in UI components instead I'm doing it from scratch using OOP.I want to have buttons, drop down menus, panels/windows that contain text fields and buttons.
At the moment I have the buttons down whenever one is created it is added to a static class's static array, and given a unique id number dependent on how many buttons have been created and added to the array so far.I figured this would be good as whenever a button is created I could apply an Event Listener looking for a MouseEvent.CLICK. Then just using the event.currentTarget.getID(), to find out what button has been pressed.
I'm about to start making panels/windows so the user can enter numerical values then submit them via a button, which will also close the window. I was thinking about doing more of the same and having static classes for each input type which lists all instances of that type of object.
SO, it's been a while since I've done actionscript 3 again, been mostly busy with iOS programming..Anyway, what I'm trying to create is a sliding panels.So far they work but I'm having some troubles, And everything I try does not do what I want hehe.
The panels work, I generate 5 of them in a for loop, they slide open and close when clicked using greensock.But, They all have a label, which needs to slide with it instead of staying on the same position.Plus, I have a if/else to check if a panel is open, but I want to check this individually instead of overall.
I used a theme to change the colors of my code and background, but all the other panels are still white on background. I would like to set a dark background on all my panels/windows, is that possible?
I'm not a Flash developer, but I'm working on a Flash advertising issue where a Flash ad (movie/SWF file) is sometimes having portions of its animation panels or timeline (specifically some text copy) getting stuck and then they stack/layer/overlap on top of each other at the end of the final frame of animation.We were able to reproduce this only sporadically in IE7 but someone else reported the issue using IE8.A screenshot of the portions that are overlapping is pasted further below.The "Dr. Ted Lawrence" and "A pioneer in tumor radiation therapy." text copy portions are sometimes getting stuck and are sometimes overlapping onto the final frame of the animation.
URL to the Flash SWF movie file: http://s0.2mdn.net/1608548/umhs11_specialty_cancertreatment_728x90.swf (AS2, published as Flash 8)
I do not have the .FLA file.Would that be needed to troubleshoot this issue further?I know I'm probably not using the correct terms exactly, etc,
I am a vision impaired developer who needs to enlarge the text in the user interface of CS4 Flash Professional. Is there a way to increase the font size for the text in the user interface of the application, menus and panels for example? I have not been able to find any setting in the preferences for doing this.
I did this AS2 code in Flash CS4 and have a little trouble with it.[code]It works like I want it to in Flash 7 and looks like this, but when I change the publish settings into Flash 8/9/10, the code looks like this.How do I make the code work on all AS2 Flash versions?
what im trying to do is make an interactive webssite 100% out of flash.on one of the pages in that website i would like to have one of my custom youtube players that youtube lets you make and gives you an embed code for.problem is that it is an HTML embed code.ive tried everything to get this to work and the best i could do was get the player to work in an independant .swf file but whenever i try to incorporate it into a page in my website and load it in a browser i get a security error saying that i cant let flash access youtube and i have tried everyway on google to get around that with no luck.
Is there any way to turn off the autodocking panels. I just want my panels to be free floating and not stick together. The way they dock and stick together is the worst.
I want to create a set of panels. One holds the buttons and the other holds the main drawing panel. An ASCII representation would look like this:
Code: ----------------------------------- | B | MAIN | | U | DRAWING | | T | SPACE | | T | | | O | | | N | | | S | | -----------------------------------
I will be letting the user move things around the main drawing space and want to prevent them from moving things into the panel of buttons. Also, I want to be able to export an image file showing the contents of the main drawing panel. Is there a nice way to create these panels using ActionScript? I saw that there was a panel object in Flex and am unsure how to do that with AS 3.0.
I want to have the user click a grid item in the first panel and then load the data in a panel in the second panel. I can grab the value of the index for the clicked item in the itemClicked handler, but how do I access the detailsPanel to set the values based on the row info from the Grid?
My problem is i am trying to make a panel. My button in in Main.mxml whereas the panel functions are defined in panel_Create.mxml. the code works fine. In panel_Create their are functions to create panels at runtime. The problem i am facing is when i run the program it wont show the panels but it does increase the value of n and after 8 clicks it gives alert message. The code works fine when i put all the code in Main.mxml
i'm interested in creating sliding transition panels for menu items similar to those found on the below websites. My question is how these panels work from an actionscript point of view in terms of the very fast and clean motion dynamics and whether people think they are built into the main page or whether they load as part of the called swf
I completed the 3d Photo Panels tutorial and everything works great. The problem I have is that, when you click out of the browser to a different application or the desktop, the panels start spinning at a ridiculous speed. movie when the mouse leaves the stage? I understand can add an event listener for when the mouse leaves the stage, but I just don't know what to write to stop the movie and then restart the movie when the mouse returns. I'm fairly new to AS3 and it's been a while since I've coded AS2 or used Flash.Here's my code:
i try to modify a file i got here: [URL] simply, i try to add more panels. tried to edit the vars, added mc's with a corresponding name, added more buttons, but on the 7th and further, no mc is loaded.
So I read through Kirupa's XML/Flash thumbnail gallery tutorial and have since modified some of its actionscripting to display my online design portfolio. How do I make it so that 'LAUNCH PROJECT' is a link? Here is the modified Actionscripting (I have one of each for the 3 sections):
Code: function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { xmlNode = this.firstChild;[code]....
As you can see at the bottom of the actionscript, I added a gotoURL action, hoping that simply by making <launch> read <launch action="gotoURL" variables="http:url...> that it would become a link. I, however, have had no such luck. Perhaps I have to add something more. How do I make it so that <launch></launch> has the ability to link to an URL?
I own CS4 design premium and very familiar with Photoshop and illustrator but NOT flash Pro. I want to make a HD 1080i HDTV 2-d technical video animation and wish to know if Flash is a good tool for this. This video would be used for corporate tradeshows on an hdtv. Specifically I want to combine pictures and overlay 2-d animated arrows, text balloons etc to make a 2-d technical animation of how a product line works. I need to have keyframed pans and zooms with this also. All this needs to be converted to 1920x1080P 29fps HDTV MP4. I own and proficient at Vegas Video 9 PRO NLE which can convert a variety of avi to mp4. My questions are.. Is adobe cs4 flash PRO able to do this with my other software?
I was sent an swf ad for my website and when I mouseover it I get the click hand symbol but when I click a page loads with an error saying that the page cannot be found.
I tried to place an a href tag around the entire swf file but I get the same error. Is there a way to fix this without having the flash file?
I've seen all kinds of accordion menu examples that allow for one pane open at a time, but I really need one that can have more than one open at a time.
Flash stage width is limited to 2880px. Is there a way to do sliding panels http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/slidingmenu.htm with 5 large panels eg. 5 x 1000 = 5000px?
I have a divided box that has 3 panels in it... when a certain tab in tab navigator is clicked, then the sidebar with the three panels changed. One tab might show one Panel, another tab might show two of the panels and so on.
I can turn panels invisible and hide the dividers and ever almost positions the panels right, but the dividers still exists so it's not as dynamic as I would like.
Is their an easier way to add and remove panels from the Divided box that won't take as much manual configuration and hacking to make look right?
The problem is once I hide a panel the divider still exists.
I was wondering how best to go about constructing 'floating' panels that change their perspective as the mouse movies around them, as seen to good effect at Train Your Business Brain. how I might go about this?
