IDE :: Creating A Multi Sliding Interface?
Oct 13, 2009
I'm pretty new to flash so apologies if i use incorrect terminologies. I'm trying to create a sliding interface set in a manner demonstrated in the diagram below.On MAIN PAGE there will be objects which will enable you to navigate around the site. i.e. if you click on the stick man the movie clip will navigate to the left and location you to the contributors page. If you click on the camera the movie clip will navigate to the right. Click on the TV the Movie will navigate downwards.Each page is only visible when you click on the relevant icon (i.e if you click on the stick man the movie clip slides to the left locating you to CONTRIBUTORS PAGE and MAIN PAGE comes off the screen.
In order to construct a site which navigates this way.......how would i do it and what is the Actionscript for this sliding interface style Do i combine all pages together and make one big movie clip...using script such as.....
public function moveX(event:Event):void {
Xspeed = (mover_mc.x-newX)/
2+Xspeed)/2.5;
[code].....

This is my first time using Flash to create a website. I am not familiar with Action Script, its functions classes etc., however I am familiar in programming in JAVA. I will be using ActionScript 3 and Flash CS5. (I have Flash CS4 also if needed). I am trying to create a website with a scrolling background that has 4 different scenes. I have attached an image to illustrate my idea. There will be a user interface, consisting of 4 buttons, which will be on stage at all times. Each of the button will correspond to a different scene of the background. So if the user clicks on the third button, the background will slide itself until the third scene appears on the stage.
Questions in mind:
How would the coding be like? I am planning to apply it to the button. So the background should shift ___ amount of pixels to the left or right depending on which scene the user is currently in. So if background is currently at position 800,0 (so the user is currently in scene 2) and the user clicks on 4th button. The background should move -1600 so the 4th scene will appear on stage. I am guessing there is 16 different cases I have to address. Assuming if that works, how would I also move the other objects on the scenes of background? Such as links to email address or my portfolio.

I 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.

I have created a Viewstack and using a Tile component and repeating LinkButtons I was able to make a multi column navigation with the viewstack as the dataprovider. My question is can this be done better? My code is below and I am wondering if I took the long way around this approach.

creating an image gallery for my site. Please see my photo link:I want all the thumbnail btns on the left to load the large photos on the right. For 3 of the thumbnails, I need to show more than 1 image so I created numeric btns underneath the large images that will load photo 1, photo 2 etc. The issue that I can only get this to work on layer 1 and 2, when I try to do this for another thumbnail I get this error:"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.t press2_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()"This is the basic script that I am using for all my thumbnails:
ezo1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playezomag) ;
function playezomag(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("fefe1");

I am currently poulating a Flash production for a client with XML generated data, simply so that I can give my client a piece of work which they themselves can update easily. The problem comes from the fact that I could have quite a lot of information hanging around in the form of a multi dimensional array structure where the XML data will be placed after parsing.Ideally I would like the ability to create a delimited Multi-dimensional array, which can dynamically update it's size, without me having to declare an array of 32000 cells each time, which could waste system resources to a stupid proportion.I have tried:-
Code:
_global.myArray = new Array();
but it didn't seem to initialise the array unfortunately....

I am creating a Mac cd rom with a flash interface and want to open folders on the cd by clicking a button on the interface. I read the this can be done using a bit of applescript but I'm having trouble executing the applescript from flash, I have save the applescipt as an app and when I run it I independently it works fine but when I try to run it using FScommand from flash no joy?
This is the action I'm using on my button:
on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "test.app");
}
I have also created a folder in the root of my cd called 'fscommand' and put my script app in there but still it wont work?

I need to create an interface for a competition which also is a fund raising event. There are a number of teams, and for each point a team scores, their 'points' will be equivalent to a certain amount of money.Problem:To figure out a way on how to make so, that when you click/add a point to a certain team, the following should happen:1) The team's amount increases2) The team's bar shows the same increase3) The total amount of all teams updates and shows at the top of the screenHere's a pic that illustrates the whole thing:Fund raiser interfaceIs there anyone out there who has a clue on how to get this thing working? The graphical aspects of it with tweening etc is no problem, it's the actual "adding value to Bar1 and have a MC show the increase, and summarize the total value of all bars" programming that I'm struggling majestically with.

I'm creating a mixer interface that plays multiple tracks at the same time. I can play and stop all tracks, but I'm having a tough time figuring out how to pause/unpause the tracks. I have a [pause_btn] and an [unpause_btn] just don't know the code to get them working.

currently I use the following workflow for Live video streaming.I have FMLE on a computer streaming the Video feed to my FMS.I currenlty use Dreamweaver to create window with a few instances of a video window and one of the windows is configured to rtmp to my server and the stream name of the stream I have setup in FMLE.This then streams to one of the windows.I then assign a different Stream name to the other windows.
I send an FMLE client to a user in the locations that want to have a video presence on the webpage.I send them instructions and running FMLE and the parameters to use to get their camera up and running.This works fine to a point.Most of the users are not technically minded and so often this leads to issues and delays to get these things to work.
I want to move on and improve this flow.I want to create the video instances on the page where:Below each video window is a text input field where a user can type in their name which will be used as the stream name.Below each video window is a button that the user clicks to connect their camera automatically without having to install FMLE.Once the video feed is running, only that user can click the button again to disconnect it. ( The button changes to "Stop Broadcast" etc).
I have looked at the structure of Ustream for example, and this seems to be the method they use as you can download the XML file of your channe,l and the RTMP URL and stream name can be copied and then used directly in FMLE and you can stream with more control of your camera that way.

Is there a way to generate an instance of a class that implements an interface based on the name of the class?
I am trying:
var ClassReference:Object = getDefinitionByName("movement.OuterSpaceMovement") as IMovement;
var m:IMovement = new ClassReference as IMovement;
trace("startup..." + m);
-But I am getting an error message ReferenceError: Error #1065 (OuterSpaceMovement) not defined.
I have several classes that implement the same interface (IMovement) but I need to be able to generate new instances of these classes and then pass these instances as a datatype (IMovement datatype) to other classes...
So then I tried:
var ClassReference:Class = getDefinitionByName("OuterSpaceMovement") as Class;
var m:IMovement = new ClassReference() as IMovement;
and this doesn't seem to work...but the following
var m:IMovement = new OuterSpaceMovement();

tool which takes the form of a sliding bar.(top left of page)What I'd like is to have it so that as the bar slides up and down the image to the left of it changes. Then when you release the button the corresponding page loads.hat the code would look like for this sort of effect?I'm not sure where to start, or if maybe I'm over complicating it and I should just go with a row of buttons or something?

Stuck trying to get a pretty simple thumbnail gallery to work: Basically it's just a movieclip of horizontal thumbnails (50 in total, masked so only 10 are shown at a time) with a left and right arrow on the sides, which when clicked should make the thumbs smoothly shift left or right to display the next or previous 10 thumbs (fixed at 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50). They should smoothly ease into place, and the left and right buttons should disable when you reach the left or right limit Is there a simple way of doing this?

I am trying to make something like this : A flash movie with the dimension 400 X 400. I have made two movieclips says "Map" which is 800 X 800 and another "mask" which is 100 X 100. I have placed the "Map" movieclip on the stage on one layer and the "mask" movieclip on the other layer. I gave mask action to the map layer so now i can just view 100 X 100 area of the "Map" on the stage.
I have given the following action on the frame : startDrag("mask", true, 0, 0, 800, 800);
so that the mask will move with the movie on the stage.
Now the problem which i m facing is : I dont want to resize the movie according the window size and also i dont need scroll bars, i want to publish it in the size 400X400, so what happens is that i can just move the "mask" into this much area and as the "Map" movieclip is 800 X 800 hence i cant see the right and bottom part of "Map".
Hence now what i would like to have is that when i move the "mask" from left to right the "Map" movie clip should move below it from right to left upto its width and the right end of the stage and vice versa. In the same manner when i move the "mask" from top to bottom the "Map" movie clip should move from bottom to top upto its height and the bottom end of the stage and vice versa.

The tutorial shows how to make the movie clip slide on the horizontal (x) but how do I configure the code to use both horizontal and vertical (y)?I know this is asking for alot but I really am a novice at this actionscript stuff Do I just add a dest=" _root.ynew ;" and "pos = this.y ;" some how to this code?
stop () ;
MovieClip.prototype.move2 = function () {
dest = _root.xnew ;
pos = this._x ;

I'm working on a sliding featured gallery like Kongregate.com or Hulu.com uses on their home pages. What I have so far is here:URL...Where I am running into trouble is in the loop around/wrap around areas. My next and previous buttons tween to the next/previous item just fine. However when I get to the last/first, it gets tricky.What I have done when you get to feature #5 is check for the x position, and if I am going beyond 5, I reset it so that we pull in #1 instead. The problem is that this scrolls in #1 from the wrong direction. (Take a look at the SWF above to see what I mean).If I shoot further back in negative X direction and scroll that way, I'll end up with blank space at the start of the move. I could dupe #5 and put it there, but then I have two versions of feature #5 (and #1 for the wrap the other way) that have to be maintained. (Note these will be more than just a blank square obviously, they will each be movie clips that do things).
Possibly that is the correct way? Or am I going about this the wrong way. Would it make more sense to dynamically create, scroll and remove the clips on each button click? (I'm not sure how I would do that exactlyI suppose I could also add the buttons via actionscript too, instead of placing them in a layer and them zipping them to the top, although I'm not sure it matters much.[code]Also one other thing, I note that if the user clicks one of the buttons before the tween completes, it throws the whole thing off (since it grabs the x value when clicked) - is there a way to disable the buttons until the tween is complete?

I've done the basic sliding thumbnail bar with the rollover and clicking on the thumbnails before, but I'm trying to replicate the one on the [URL] homepage.
I wanna do exactly what they've done. I want to have the scroll bar below the slider that they user can use. And I want the thumbnails to pop forward and have info pop out for the selected person. I didn't know how to make the thumbnails readjust themselves when the popup came out. But I'm not sure how to add this into my basic slider.

I'd like to use a gallery similar to the one atfor a gallery I am creating. I have an idea of how the horizontal motion would work using a timeline but does anyone have an idea of how I could use actionscript to move the movieclip horizontally so that each image is centered or using a tween class?

so i have some buttons that i want to put on a sliding panel. The panel and the buttons are on the same layer. The buttons are buttons i created. there is a seperate button, instantiated as channels, that i use to slide the panel out. I read an online example that made it seem as though if i just placed the buttons on the panel in the stage, they would just slide out with the panel. This is not the case however. here's my code

i want to make a sliding panel with 2 buttons on it. The panel pops up from the bottom of the screen when the mouse is hovering over the the bottom 25 pixels of the screen. The panel is set to disappear when the user hovers the mouse off of the panel. At first i just tried to put buttons on the panel and covert the whole thing to a symbol, but then i could not access the individual properties of the buttons. What i tried instead is to make invisible buttons over the area where the image of the buttons were on the panel. The problem is that when now when the user hovers over the button, flash reads it as the mouse leaving the panel and the panel disappears.
