Is there a way to fade a movie clip out based on the proximity of the mouse? Basically if my mouse is greater than 100 pixels away from a movie clip, I want the movie clip to fade to 0 and stay invisible.
View 4 RepliesI would like to scale a movie clip based on how close the mouse gets to it, but flash slows when there are a ton of these. I'm looking for a new method
onMouseMove = function(){
var dx:Number = this._x - _parent._xmouse;
var dy:Number = this._y - _parent._ymouse;

I'm creating a slideshow gallery in flash and am basically there now except for one bit...
have a look here [URL]
The slider at the bottom for the thumbnails moves ok but I want it to stop at the last slide. I
I can manage to code it based on the mc's _x value
i.e if (mc._x < -200){ //do nothing }
but this creates a dead stop and I want a gently slow down like if you were to navigate from thumb 8 back to 1.
all of my coding at the moment uses the mc's x value in relation to the mouse's distance.
The code I have currently set on the slider is:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if((_root.slidesQTY>6)&&(_root._ymouse>460)){
if(this._x<0){
[Code]....
how I could add another if statement that doesn't halt the animation as it hits the last slide but creates a smooth slow down?
On Scene1 I'm trying to add some script that will continuosly recognize what the x axis value is and if it is greater than 600 it is supposed to play frame 1 of the movie, and if it is less than 600 than it is supposed to play frame 10. The code I'm using seems to work, but only at the initial startup of the movie. How do I modify this code to have it continually updating the shoot movie based on where the mouse is at on the movie?

I am currently creating an explorable comic. The problem being the explorable part.Essentially I'm trying to scroll the "screen" in order to explore the comic, the comic being just one massive picture. To do this I figure I need to move the picture in relation to where the mouse is to a centre point, So the further away the mouse gets from the centre point the faster the image moves in the opposite direction.
View 1 RepliesSo I have seen this done a million times in as2, but its basically what the mac OSX doc uses... but I can't seem to figure it out in as3. All I what need to do is have like 8 MC's get a little bit larger based on distance.

As in the closer 2 objects get, the bigger another one gets?
flash version: CS3 AS2 Im having trouble making the pages for a website im working on. I have a row of buttons, and I want each one to open its corrisponding page ie. contact_us_button to open contact_us movie clip. the thing is I want each page to transition in and out. so when I click contact us, the contact us movie clip fades in and stops. When I click about us, the contact us movie clip fades out and about us fades in.
Is the way to do this to make each page movie clip have a fade start and fade end, and have it stop before the fade end, and on another page click continue playing the current clip to get the fade out and then open the new page movie clip?
There is a bad gap in my knowledge with Event Dispatch and Event architecture, and this problem proves it. I've been getting nowhere on this problem for two days, I've posted everything to my Flash site. Go here, please: [URL] Click on "Flash Banners" The two thumbnails represent two different classes. Each class is identical. Both are "extends Movie Clip" classes. Tweeners of various types control the hover and click methods. URL Loaders load the thumnails which I then wrap in MC's and make them buttonMode = true, etc. Hover and click to load the Banners on the thumbnails.
I can't send an event from the Eagle movie clip or the T2D movie clip to tell the other to fade out. Both Banner classes are instantiated through a separate Base class. I'm sure this has to be an Event Dispatch from one MC to another and that it can't be done by the Base class. how I can send an Event or Event Dispatch and what the code structure is so one movie clip can in one class can tell the other movie clip in the other class to disappear while it's neighbour is playing. I'm happy to post code or explain / clarify anything that's not clear.
I am trying to help my colleague figure out how to make a button act like the Mac buttons do. In other words, when your mouse gets closer to a button, they will steadily grow larger. He found a piece of code, so i put it in my FLA file, closed my eyes, then peeked and hoped it worked. It didn't.
I have attached the FLA to this message. If you remove the top portion of the code [the portion between the // lines], you will see the file works fine as the buttons will advance frames. But when i put the top piece of code back [the piece my colleague gave me] i get error messages.bottom line is - what we're trying to do is make those triangle buttons "grow" as the mouse moves closer to them [like Mac buttons do].
how to get something to happen according to the mouse's proximity to an object? like say i have a square & i want that square to get bigger the closer the mouse gets to it... how would one do that?

View 1 RepliesI am pretty new to ActionScript 3 and Flash. I don't want my movie clip to play unless the person's mouse curser is on the movie clip for more than a second. If the person just runs their curser over the movie clips really quickly, then it should do nothing. It must be more than a second. How do I code that?

I am looking for a way to fade in a white movie clip over my main movie when a button is pressed.
(i.e. When you press a button, a white rectangle will fade in over all other layers and then fade out after a couple of seconds. This is to make it look like the different pages are fading in and out without having to build the transition over and over again.)
Have been fiddling around for some time now and just can't seem to fade out my movie clip, the same way that I have faded it in. I have this AS already on it, am not sure if I should set the alpha or if I need to do something more complicated.

I will be loading a movie clip, into a container just to the left of the portfolio elements.What I want to happen is, in my Loaded MC I want to be able to click on the thumbnail, and in the parent movie clip ( the one you select the portfolio elements from).I want a Movie clip to fade in on top of everything. but Im having a few errors.IN my parent file Ive created and named a blank movie clip .the script inside of the satellite MC is :
on(press){
_parent.loadMovie("enlarged.swf","targetmc");
}
but it unloads the satellite MC and replaces it with the swf, rather than inserting it in my target movie clip in the parent page.I cannot use _root in this instance, and Ive tried adding "_parent._parent".. im at a loss here.....
How do you make a movie clip fade out when the cursor enters the stage, but then fades back in once the cursor has left the stage? Is the same method then used with buttons?

I have web content with simple rollover animations. When someone rolls over the target a text box fades in. When they roll out it fades out.
How can I have a smooth transition if the user rolls out before the roll over animation ends (i.e. before it's faded all the way in) ?
movie clip's alpha to fade to 0 when the cursor enters the stage, and then when it leaves the stage to blend back up to 100% (or do you say '1'?)So far this is the code and FollowTxt will fade out but not back in:
var myFrame:Frame = new Frame();
var myHelp:Help = new Help();
var myFollowTxt:FollowTxt = new FollowTxt();
[code].....
I have the following functions that fade a movie clip in and out
Code:
fadeAmount = 1;
function fadeIn() {
this._alpha += fadeAmount;
if (this._alpha>=100) {
this._alpha = 100;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
[Code] .....
And then I call the movie clip to start fading in and appear on stage
Code:
contentMC._alpha = 0;
contentMC.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
What I need is some way to tell the movie "after you reach alpha 100, stay there for x seconds and then fade out" and execute this code:
Code:
contentMC._alpha = 100;
contentMC.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;Aafter it reaches alpha = 0 it should stop and stay there without looping back and starting to fade in again.
In simple terms, the first page loads and the movie clip fades in. Then once one of the navigational buttons is clicked, i need it to wait 3 seconds while the fade out animation plays before proceeding to the next page. There may be another way to have the fadeout animation play before it proceeds to the next page, as im fairly new to actionscript, im not totally sure.

I thought of making each phase inside "content" a movie clip, adding all the even listeners in the main actions layer and also adding the transitions there too.
When X even listener is pressed in X movie clip pointing to Y movie clip, fade out X using an e.target tween and somehow fetch the Y info and fade that movie clip in.
I have a map application that when I use the mouse wheel the map will scale up or scale down. The next thing I want to do is to focus on the mouse pointer while zooming on the part of the map.
I have this code...
function focusMousePosition(){ onMouseMove = function (){ Stage.width = _root._xmouse; Stage.height = _root._ymouse; updateAfterEvent(); }}
var mouseWheelListener = new Object();var wheelNum:Number;
mouseWheelListener.onMouseWheel = function(wheelNum){ focusMousePosition(); if (wheelNum > 0){ map._xscale *= 0.9; map._yscale *= 0.9; }else{ map._xscale *= 1.1; map._yscale *= 1.1; }}Mouse.addListener(mouseWheelListener);
Is it possible to use a movie clip to block the mouse from activating the stage MOUSE_OVER event?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to make a bubble movie clip, instance name storeBtn, grow in and out and fade in/out. I understand now that I can't use more than one prototype object because their onEnterFrame's replace each other? On their own each of these protypes work, although the scaling one isn't contraining the movie clip, it squishes the bubble in and out a bit. Is there any way to combine alpha and scale in one prototype? I tried adding more parameters but that didn't work. Or is there some other way?Here's the code I'm trying to work with.
MovieClip.prototype.fade = function(minAlpha, maxAlpha, speedAlpha) {

View 2 RepliesWhenever someone clicks on a nav button, the corresponding .swf file loads into a blank movie clip I have on my home page. What I'd like to do is have the content on the current page fade out before the content on the new page fades in. I've used Flash for years, but this is the first web site I've built entirely in Flash, and I don't quite know how to approach this. I'm assuming ActionScript would be the easiest and most efficient way to produce this effect, but I don't know how to go about doing it. Is there a way to tell the current movie to go to a certain frame in the movie and play it before loading the next external movie clip?
View 5 RepliesI have a simple text fade movie clip that will "play" but won't work when I "Test Movie." What am I missing? I don't regularly use Flash as of yet, and have been successful before, but this is ridiculous - and I know I'm probably missing something very simple.
