View 1 RepliesI'm looking for some help animating a vertical accordion menu to swoop out after swooping in. I hacked a crappy menu I found, made from AS 1.0/2.0(?), and I used AS 3.0 on the main timeline to make it slide into stage.The first tier buttons expand & collapse using some AS crap I don't understand, but I finally figured out how to get the second tier buttons to trigger collapse onClick.The thing is: I also want the second tier buttons to slide the entire menu back of stage onClick and I can't figure out how to do it!Do I need to add some AS function to the individual buttons or should I be putting some AS 3 into the main timeline?
View 1 Repliesok you know when on a button it may "move up" or somthing and then you get off the button and it pops righ back into place.. how do u make it move slowly and fluently back to the position.. like if you have 4 different boxes, and you click it and the arrows move to next box, but if the first box is clicked again, it will moved up to previous box smoothly back to the first box, what code do i need for this...?

View 1 RepliesI have a 6 button menu system: when user clicks on a main menu link it will highlight red and light up a light right to the left of the link letting them know they have clicked successfully. After the initial click it will bring down a sub menu with links. However, after they release the mouse button, the little green indicator light goes off. I want that little green light to stay on until they move the mouse outside of the slide panel with the sublinks. how do I keep that light on until user moves mouse outside of the bounding area of the sub-panel with sub links? what code do I need to insert?SECOND:When I go to publish in html, my slide panel which contains the sublinks is chopped off. How do make it were the submenu goes over and on top of my webpage contents right below it instead of increasing the size of my table.
Here is a copy of my code. I will be posting an image in about 30 minutes or less:
// ON CLICK EFFECT - The main menu's sub-menus will slide down once user clicks on a button.// The sub-menu will raise up and disapper once the user's mouse leaves the sub-panel area.
import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.Regular;import fl.transitions.easing.Elastic;

I have a simple movie consisting of 6 layers (photos). Each layer is set to display for 30 frames then fades into the next layer to give the impression of a slideshow. I have used a code snippet against the 1st layer so that if the mouse button is clicked it will go to a particular website.
movieClip_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_6);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_6(event:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http:blahblah.com"), "_self");
}
This works fine, however, once the clip goes beyond layer 1, if you press the mouse button again, it still goes to the web site specified even though I do not want it too. I have tried to add a second code snippet so that if it is on the 2nd layer it goes to a different web page and so on, for each layer, wanting it to go to a different web page. If I have more than 1 code snippet, as soon as it gets to the frame the snippet is on, it fails, and if I only have the 1 snippet, it runs for the entire duration of the clip
I have a flash project that when published with the "Transparent Windowless" Window Mode setting under File, Publish Settings, under the HTML tab... the following Action Script 3 code causes the link to be blocked by the IE 7 and 8 pop-up blocker when I use the "_blank" target and embed the flash movie on my page in Dotnetnuke, however if I use the "_self" target the link opens fine in the same window. If I publish the Flash project using the "Window" Window Mode the link opens in a new window with the "_blank" target without a problem. I need the Transparent setting because I have a menu bar on my page the drops down over the Flash and the menu goes behind the Flash movie unless it is published using the transparent setting.

I have a Flash drop down list component, I also have a set of buttons. When a user clicks one of the buttons, I want one of the options in the drop down list to be 'selected', but without the form being submitted.Just to clarify, I have a map of the France where all the French regions are buttons, and next to this I have a form.When a user clicks a region on the map, I want the drop down list in the form to select that region from the list.

View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know how to go about animating a movie clip that would go behind another movie clip?
For instance: A stack of photos, that on click, the top photo would animate to the left (or right) and then animate to the back of the stack. My only problem is that i don't understand how to change the order of things, or if this is even possible (as essentially eveything is on layers), the only way i can think of is to have everything on one layer, but then this would interupt the animation of each photo

View 1 RepliesI noticed a bug when trying to animate movieclips in 3d space: Basically the bug occurs when trying to tween a movie-clip in 3d space across a z range that is greater than 5000 or so, which then results in very odd behavior (see end of movie above). What strikes me as especially odd, is that the whole tweening rate is messed up when this occurs, it's as if the program decides to only tween half of the distance that I give it.
I know I can workaround the problem by just scaling the object as well while it's moving, but that's besides the point. It was the very first thing I tried in CS5 and took me less than 5 minutes to find. I doubt i'm the only one. =Edit= So it seems the exact value is 5760. that's the largest distance flash will tween an object in the z direction. Also, it doesn't matter where that range is, for example I can go from 0 to 5760 or 4000 to 9760, both work just fine. This means I can work around this problem by creating two seperate tweens, but that really shouldn't be necessary, and is very bothersome considering how the new tween system works, it automatically tries to add a new keyframe to the current tween, where the limit still applies.
I'm trying to do a rather complicated mask in flash and can't quite get it right. I have a logo with three arrows on it. The arrows travel in water droplet pattern. Between the arrow heads is a small white space. I need to build this as a mask because the color of the arrows has a gradiation from light blue to dark blue.
View 2 RepliesAre symbols only supposed to be used when you need 100% exact copies of an object? So if you need to animate an instance of the symbol you can't use the symbol? Is that correct?
View 1 Repliesi've been trying to animate a basic character, which is a comp of 2 legs, 2 arms, a torso and a head.I want it to move from point a to point b, whilist moving it's arms and legs in a very simple manner. what i've done is motion tweened the main character from point a to point b during 10 frames, and then inside the character i've classic tweened the arms and legs during 10 frames aswell. the animation inside the comp is working, but in the main scene i only see the character moving, and in frame 10 the arms and legs change to the tween's final pose, without the entire animation in the middle...

I don't want the character or animation to be super realistic, but it has to look like the player is sort of skating and shooting a puck. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?I am open to any suggestions or a good tutorial or even if someone has the time to create a simple sample file of how to set up the skating

View 1 RepliesI am trying to animate an adjustment layer in Flash with Photoshop. The only way to describe the effect I'm looking for is if you apply an adjustment layer to an image/photoshop file (i.e. Hue/Saturation) and move the slide bar from one side to another. This effect works well with pictures that have multiple colors. I might be able to provide a video of this effect if my description is confusing.

View 4 RepliesAs the title says, how do you animate the resizing and moving of graphic symbols without making the other objects go invisible? I'm using Flash CS4. Here are the bizarre, unexplainable problems I've had before. First of all, here's my basic scene. It's 6 rectangles and 8 half-circles. [URL]. First thing I tried doing was applying a Classic Tween (since Motion Tween did nothing and Shape Tween was disabled). However, what that did was turn every object in the entire work space into one giant object for no reason at all, which certainly isn't what I wanted. [URL]. What I realized is that in order to avoid having all of the objects merged into one, I had to create a brand new file first. [URL].
Next, I added in a blank keyframe and a Classic Tween while the workspace is still empty. [URL]. Then finally copy/paste the objects into the first frame from the first file: [URL]. Now I paste those shapes again into the target frame and resize one of the diagonal shapes: [URL]. Then I moved that rectangle to a new position: [URL]. However, when I preview the animation, only the animating object shows up... everything else is invisible. [URL]. Also, if I try moving a different object, the rectangle will start spinning for no reason. [URL]. How can I animate this object without making everything else go invisible and keep the object from spinning out of control?
I think the title is self explanatory... anyway, I wanna make my buttons do a cool animation (like roll away or explode) but until AFTER they're clicked,

View 2 RepliesI have 170 images that I need to place on the same place on the left side of the stage and and have them move across the stage one at a time, increase in size and then fade out after 10 sec. The sequence then continues for all 169 images. My initial thoughts are to animate the first image inside a movie clip, duplicate it and swap the image. When I tried this it worked fine until the image had shape tweened to the larger size (at this point the image displays for 10 sec and fades out). At the key frame at this point the image changed back to the original one. What do I need to do to make the new image visible throughout the whole movie clip when I swap the image like this? Is there a better way to produce this type of animation? I am using Flash Professional 8 and quite new to the world of Flash and Action Script.
