View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a dropdown menu from the top of my home page for navigation similar to this site.I'm just having a little difficulty on the correct process.Not sure if I make a movie clip for the bar to drop down when rolled over and how to place the text buttons so they appear when the bar drops down.
View 1 RepliesI am creating an interactive website so it can be viewed where there is no internet.Each section of the website is split in to different movie clips with the navigation itself being a movie clip on a different layer.Currently I am able to jump to the beginning of frame 1 of a MC then able to navigate to frame 2 but unable to go back to frame 1 through the nav.My biggest problem is jumping to frame 2 of a MC.
View 6 Repliesi've got a problem where i use the code below to communicate with another movie clip on the stage (from inside a movieclip), i don't get any errors and i even put a trace command to test it so i know it is going to that particular frame but visually it doesn't change, done the usual research, tried using a frame label instead of a frame number and also using root instead of parent.
[Code]...
none is a frame label by the way! extra info:- what i'm trying to do is integrate an as3/xml slideshow into a website which is no problem, however my menu is in another movieclip so its making it difficult to 'unload' the slideshow correctly without having an exit button (exitBtn) and hiding the navigation (menu2)
Anyone know how I can do this? cus I really dont want to have that there, can I cover it?I'd also like to disable the hotkeys like ctrl += to zoom in etc...(How do I detect a zoom in, then make it zoom out?)
View 2 RepliesIs there a better way hiding mutiple mc's than this?
button1.onPress = function(){
first_mc._visible = false;
second_mc._visible = false;
third_mc._visible = false;
}
What I think I want to do is make an array of the movie clips and apply the function to that array?
I have movie clips I'm attempting to hide/show on click of seperate links... with one of the movie clips loading on default.My problem is, when I click the button to show the "non-default" movie clip, the default movie clip is still visible! .fla attached below with images (was not sure if images are required for future uploading of .fla's??)
View 1 RepliesI'm experiencing problems when I try to load a movie that uses LoadVars() into another movie that uses MovieClipLoader method to load the first file. My goal is to secure the flash movie and the contents that are accessed from the database and display the contents with a non-editable form (this is a "backend movie"). The best way I found is to load this "backend" swf with MovieClipLoader from another movie that acts as "frontend".
The problem is, that every time I load the main movie I'm able to see the form of the loaded clip but the content is not fully loaded (maybe because the ASP page has not delivered all the content to LoadVars). For example I can see 3 of 6 text that are being loaded with LoadVars() in the backend movie. Individually, the backend movie is working fine and I always can see my form with dynamic text without any interrumption. how can I load the movie to another one or how can I secure the backend including the URL that access the database?
I have a button that when pressed moves out of view and moves a second button into view. Then I have two movieclips, they look the same only one is animated and the other isn't, both on different layers. That part is working just fine. What I also want the button to do when clicked is show the animated movieclip (and hide the other if possible, but not necessary since it'll be under the animated one). Now I haven't gotten that far because I can't even get the animated movieclip to be hidden! I've been using visible = false; command for everything and it's been working up to now. Is it possible to hide a tweened movieclip? (It's a classic tween)
[Code]...
i was wondering could somebody tell me what code would i use to hide a movie clip?
mcYouWin.visible = "false";
didn't work, but that was just a guess at the code lol.
Could anybody tell me what the code is to hide and show a movieclip with the name "mcYouWin"

View 1 RepliesI want to build a flash based website and place there 4 button MovieClip instances. Once the user clicks a button, all the EventListeners the button attached to (Mouse_OVER, Mouse_OUT, CLICK) are removed until you click another one. Then the previous button gets these listeners back again. One button is always active at a time, so you can't turn on/off buttons.I thought it would be easier to write a ButtonClass and link the button MovieClip to it. But I had to realize that I can't listen that previous button from that class, because it only listens itself obviously. I'm trying to use "dispatchEvent" but I can't get it to work.In the flash movie I have only one frame, 'cause I'm trying to do this without the timeline. I want to use Classes and this and that to practice but I'm stuck with this problem.
View 3 RepliesI'd like to have one button to use for hiding and unhiding movie clips. I think I'm having an issue with my if statement. I can get the button to hide the movie clip, but can't get it to work on unhiding the movie clip. Here's the code:
[Code]....
The code has only worked on hiding the movie clip. I just can't make it unhide after you click the button again.
I want to dynically open this movie clip and move it to a specific location (x,y) on the main timeline on top of everything else.Then I want to draw lines on that new movie clip that display on top of the image on that movie clip.I have an idea on how to draw the lines, (well at least I think I do)
Code:
_root.audiogram.lineStyle(2, 0xFF0000, 100);
_root.audiogram.moveTo(0, 0);

I have never messed around with flash before so I downloaded a template. I open it with Flash CS4 and most everything is simple to edit. The problem is I dont seem to find anything about editing the menu/navigation bar.
View 1 RepliesI've been doing flash for a while, but I've never been good at coding. I'm trying to make a navigation bar for a website that follows the path of a mouse. Some examples are below: [URL] I'm looking to create something similar, however instead of having a bar slide through, I think I want an animated mask.
I want to set a default background image behind the text of the buttons, and a mask that fades out ontop of the background layer but behind the text. For those who don't understand... imagine a flashlight being pointed at a wall in a pitch black room. The circular source of light gives light to the background.Different from the examples above, I need to figure out how to make it follow the mouse exactly, instead of jumping to the next button automatically? I also suck at masks, but I'll be able to look that up. Are they animatable, or should I use a layer that is semi transparent in a circular area?
I'm desperately trying to source a 3-tier drop down navigation menu and am willing to pay for it.
Take a look at this menu...[URL]..
see the attached file for reference. A couple of things :I have a selection bar moving down or up 25 pixels on press, but it seems to be adding 2 pixels on each successive move, how do I get it to respect the 25 pixel movement restriction?
While the selection bar is moving, you can press the button again, breaking the code and sending the bar off the screen. Ive tried to solve this with a boolean (var moving) to tell whether the bar is moving or not, and thus prevent the movement code from running. However, once the bar has stopped, I cannot get it out of the moving = true state, to move the bar again.
edit: "I'd like to add a movement tween to the bar..." There is a thread above about this, plus millions of examples around the web.

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..

View 4 RepliesI am an intermediate flash user and need to create navigation for my flash project. Basically what I have is one swf with several scenes and I need a small pop up menu with clickable buttons to jump to different scenes. I know scenes are not generally recommended, but I cannot load separate swfs due to technological constraints at my company. The way my project is set up is like one continuous movie that plays from start to finish. I don't need a player controls or anything. I have divided it into scenes to make it easier to work on the fla.
It starts and plays through to the end, one scene after the next. What I want is a small menu button at the bottom that when clicked pops open a list of buttons that can be clicked to jump to and play a different scene. It never stops or anything, just jumps to and plays the chosen scene. I have created a movieclip with a menu button and the pop up list with buttons. I can get the list to open and close, but it won't jump to a different scene. Is this because it is in a movieclip?
I have created a drop down menu but cannot code it to move the main time line using gotoAndStop ("framelabel"). What is the proper path to access the main time line from an drop down menu mc?
View 2 RepliesI'm using a map as the navigation "menu" between descriptions of items located on the map. Each item has a button, which is enlarged on hover. When the button is clicked, the description of the item shows up and a picture of it substitutes the map (and all buttons disappear). Here's the issue: some buttons, when enlarged, overlap with other buttons. I am currently using addChild() to ensure the button currently pointed at is on top of any others. The problem is that, when I click the buttons, any buttons I pointed at do not disappear, but stay on top of the picture. Is there a better way to make the buttons go to the top, one that doesn't keep them on when the frame changes? Or at least, is there a way to make them disappear when the frame changes?
View 4 RepliesI am trying to create a Dynamic flash Navigation Menu which will disable the button of the page you are on leaving the button in the "hit" state and then active it once you have called for a new page and deactivate the new button. I know this can be done with movie clips and some old school gotoAndPlay/Stop slight of hand but I would like to do this in actionscript so its nice, clean, and scalable for other projects.

I just finished creating a large online flex app with 43 different screens. I am using a mx:MenuBar with four main menus and a couple of submenus to navigate between these screens.I am now trying to convert this into a iPad app as well, but the mx:MenuBar does not appear to be supported in mobile flex. Is there any way I can replicate this sort of navigation system in mobile flex? The user needs to be able to move between any of these pages at any time, and 43 tabs will obviously not work

I'm trying to create a menu with rollover animations, the animations all seem to work except when I roll over the buttons... they seem to instantly repeat... my buttons are tweened with the motion editor and are dynamic text here is my main timeline actions layer...
ActionScript Code:
stop();
about_btn.buttonMode = true;
about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onButtonOver);
about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onButtonOut);
[code]....
and for all my button movieclips i have stops on the up state, and at the ends of the over and out states..
I have this menu from [URL], which i am trying to customize. Currently the menu works fine except for not fully Animating the Button Movieclip. On rollover the button should be white but right now stops inbetween. Here in the fla file the Menu item is a MC which has a Animation for On rollover and On Rollout, but it doesn't work when i test it.
