Professional :: Adjusting Objects (Menu And Logo) On Screen
Dec 18, 2010
I am making a Flash website and I need to know how to make my Menu on left and Logo on right stay on left and right as the screen size is changed. A similar example I am trying to accomplish is this well know site. [URL]. Notice how the menu and logo stay on the right and left...I have been searching for days on how to do this. I have everything built on my stage but cannot achieve this and thought someone may be familiar with this technique.
How should vector artwork be drawn in Freehand so that white details sitting over a blue base are still readable when alpha of e.g. 50% is applied in Flash 8 ? In Freehand 9 I created a logo. Logo has an rgb mix blue base rectangle and rgb white drawn shapes on top. I also drew over the text and gave it the rgb blue as a fill with line none. That sits on top of one of the white shapes.
I am trying to do adjustment of position (x and y) of display objects, relative to other display objects. In other words: I have two Sprite objects (rectangle and circle). The rectangle can have their width changed during execution. Yet the circle has a fixed size. What I do is this: regardless of the width of the rectangle, the circle is positioned at the far right of this rectangle.
I tried as follows: ActionScript Code: rectangle.width = someValue; circle.x = rectangle.x + (rectangle.width-circle.width);
In theory it should work, but look what happens: imageshack.us/photo/my-images/837/positionq.png
As the width of the rectangle increases the distance from the desired location also increases. Using: ActionScript Code: trace (rectangle.width);
I realized that the value of property 'width' does not match the exact amount of pixels that the object is wide. I just did a test and realized that this problem only happens when the rectangle has edge. When the rectangle has only fill, this problem does not occur.
I dont have flash experience but would like to create a navigation bar like the one on this website http:[url]... I like the way the menu pops onto the screen but dont know what that effect is called so am having trouble finding a tutorial.
I am working on an application that is near the end of its development cycle and has mostly passed user testing. We recently realized that having flex convert dates to the client's local timezone is not desired, as all of our dates are in EST and contain no time data. Since BlazeDS sends dates in UTC, this results in the dates being converted to the day before in timezones west of EST.
The best solution is to go in and refactor all dates to adjust for the timezone offset, but that is just not doable at this stage. Since all dates in our application don't care about time, I would really like to be able to intercept all Date objects that come across BlazeDS and adjust for the timezone offset.
I am building an application that is to run at 2 difference stage sizes. 960x640 and 1024x768 (for those paying attention, you may note that those are the high res settings for the iPhone and iPad2)The app was designed and build to run on a stage of 960x640 and when running at this size, there are no problems.When the app loads in the 1024x768 window, it "strechs" the stage to fill the window, but keeps the aspect ratio. Everything looks good and the application runs without any problems expect for one thing.Sometimes, display objects on the stage "jitter" when moving or animating. I have discovered that this is because the stage is "scaling" the x and y values, and is not pixel snapping the objects on the screen, even though the x and y values of the display object are indeed whole numbers.A prime example of this is I have 2 bitmapData images. bmData_s and bmData_h. bmData_s is 192x388 in size.bmData_h is created from a copy of bmData_s with a glow filter stroke on it, resulting in a image that is 198x394 (6 pixels bigger due to a 3 pixel stroke)I place it on the screen using the following code:[code]
Now, when the app runs on the iPhone which is a 960x640 screen size, or on the PC which is using a window of similiar size, the image doesn't appear to move at all the "stroke" appears and disappears exactly as it is suppose to However, when I run it in a window that is 1024x768, the _h image appears to "jump" one pixel up.I have encountered many other similiar things that only occure when the stage is scaled. There is a spot in the app where I am animating a bitmap by manipulating it's scrollrect x and width (have it's do a wipe in from right to left like a peice of paper unrolling on a table) and due to the scaling, the right edge of the image jumps left and right 1 pixel but on 960x640 screens, it looks perfect.Does anyone know how I can compensate for this effect so that this jumping doesn't occur when the stage is stretched to fit the window it's running in?
I am building a flash site, and I wanted to know if I can load a web page (my blog to be exact) into a Flash page under my logo and menu. Is this even possible?
im creating a simple mobile application for a nokia 5230 touchscreen phone in flash. Im just trying to create some code to tell it to jump to the main menu when the user presses on the screen. I have a key catcher in which i have the following code:
[Code]...
Im not sure if this will work for touchscreen phone because i got it from a sample program from my lecturer in college but i dont know what i should do as it wont recognise a press on the screen.
i am a beginner in action script / flex framework and i am facing a problem: i would like to have like a menu bar always anchor the bottom of the screen in normal and full screen mode... i try to set my component with bottom = "1" (so it should alway be at 1 pixel from the bottom of the stage ... But .. NO :)
The problem that I'm facing is in regards to the width of a sliding menu that I've created. The menu slides based on mouse x position and width of the movie. I would like the menu to fit to the entire screen regardless of the users resolution. I wanted to know if there's a way to detect a users screen width and then adjust the variable for screen width within my actionscript .fla if necessary.
I just converted a WMV to flash video .flv through the wizard in Flash CS3 Pro. It converted it OK, but made quite a large file.Is it possible to produce a file of lower size and quality.Is there a bit-rate setting somewhere?(We have some people outside the US in developing countries who don't have such a good connection.Whats about the lowest you would go in terms of quality / bitrate?)
I just started working on a preloader screen that includes a preloader mask over a logo and a percentage dynamic text. I can get either or to work but not both at the same time. I notice that if I remove stop(); I can get the percentage to work but not the preloader image. With the stop(); embedded the image preloader works but the percentage doesn't.
I have created one animated flash (Adobe CS4 Action Script 3) logo with 8 movie clip objects (The file name is MyLogo.swf). It is working fine. I have another flash file called MyWebsite.fla. How can I use my MyLogo.swf in MyWebsite.fla so that it can animate on my home page?
I've a logo in AI and I want to animate it in flash.I'd like that this logo "born" from nothing like a pen that write a name but I don't know how to start.
have a logo that I would like to break up into elements and turn them into a "flash movie" so that I can split the logo up and have it come back together.
i want to add new Menu in flash IDE and i want to add inside the adobe flash menu. How i can add new menu in menubar and new menu item inside the help menu. is it possible to do this things if yes then which language i have to use for this. what is way to start development and what is the .MXP file and how to create this .MXP file.
I have an animation Logo flash movie which I want to appear after 10 seconds of loading the background image (Panel_mc)?
I am using Actionscript 3 to load the Logo.swf movie. The following is the whole code that I have on my action script page:
stop();import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*; var PanelTween:Tween = new Tween(Panel_mc, "y", Elastic.easeOut, -400, 20, 5, true); var l:Loader=new Loader();addChild(l);l.load(new URLRequest("Logo.swf"));l.x = -20;l.y = -20; l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, growLoader); function growLoader(evt:Event):void { l.width = 320; l.height = 185;}
Note: I need it because first the background will animate so no one can pay attention to my Logo. Once the background stops animation, My logo needs to be start (animation)?
I recently purchased a flash template and I have successfully replaced the information and logo with what I want, but my only issue is trying to center the logo and the slogan in the middle of the page layout. I've looked through the original flash files that came with it and tried everything I could think of. I am not having any success. I just need to center the logo and I am not getting it. I have provided a send space download link to the files also. [URL]
Working on the following site [URL] On the "What we Do" page (one click to the right) each company logo is linked using the Action Script 2 below. Only the "Zipfizz" button works though. The rest of the buttons only work very rarely. I made a stock button from a white box then turned the opacity to 0. Put one over every logo with the proper dimensions and gave them the right instance names. If you click the logo repeatedly in different areas the link will sometimes work. Anyone have an idea what's going on? I not very familiar with AS2, only AS3 but the site was built by another designer awhile ago.
I'm new to Adobe Flash CS4. I'm making an animation of some fish underwater. I have 2 small fish motion tweened to follow a large fish from left to right. When I view the animation in full screen the small fish seem to be wiped off the screen at a certain point. The tween box continues to follow it's path but the symbol disappears. This only seems to happen with larger objects.
I am working on a DVD User Interface for my final project in Photoshop. For extra credit points I am trying to figure out how to make the menu items to light up when the pointer is touching the menu icon.
I got a .fla file, which i have to edit. The file is used at a website, and contains the menu.Reads input from xml file.I can make the changes, logo and some static text.When publishing the file, the menu appears as pink boxes instead of rendering of the menu.There is not outpur errors, and everything else works as it should, just not the menu.
Im trying to make a menu for a web page using menubar and menu components, is ther any way of making os specifing that the menu can get drawn out of the canvas, since i need that the bar is thin for getting in a space betwen to image headers.
I have static background and do not know how to do motion of logo from country to country. and end up with logo static in North America I have files to send if needed
I want to make the clown dance when he catches a hat (I have a tween for that) who otherwise will be simply standing, Basically I need to animate objects on certain events and then stop, I see so many game makers doing that, I know nothing about it, tried a lot on my own but with no success
I want users to be able to locate objects ,say rectangles, freely on the screen. Each Rectangle will have width, height, x, y.
I want that when users resize browser window, the rectangles change location and size relative to the window while maintaining proportion.
I noticed I could do something width="20%" height="20%" and then object will resize but if the aspect ration is diffenent the rectangles will look distorted. Also I wasn't sure what's the best way to locate object relatively as I noticed I couldn't bind Flexglobals.toplevelapplication.width/Flexglobals.toplevelapplication.height to x/y.
I made a custom button-class (called CustomBlitButton) where a button is defined. The roll over-states of the button are defined inside of the class CustomScreen. That's because a custom screen holds one or more buttons. I can create a button when using the createButton-function of the CustomScreen-class.
So if I want to make a screen with a menu, i.e. several buttons I do this like that (this is just an excerpt):
