how can I make a series of buttons using an image. I have diferents image for each area in GIF format. I create a button with each image. But, when I put each button in the frame, the area where a button is over another button capture the event of the mouse over.What do I have to do for determinate the edge for each button with the image?
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if there are any apps that have animation in a format that could be somehow exported for use in Flash, After Effects, or 3D software. So something other than flip book style "paint" animation. Instead something like vector point animation or object/property animation.
View 1 RepliesI'm really new to flash, and just taking an intro level course at the moment.Anyways, for one of my projects,I wanted to load some .jpg files onto the stage, and make buttons from certain aspects of the image.So for example,I have an image of a coconut that I wanted to make a button out of.Right now I am trying to use the pen tool to outline the shape of the coconut, and then create a symbol from the pen tools shape.However, I'm obviously not doing something right, as when I turn the image into a symbol, instead of creating a button symbol from my outline with the pen tool, it just turns my whole .jpg file into a symbol.
I want to be able to make multiple clickable buttons from a single image,I know how the coding will work once I can make the individual buttons, but right now I seem to be missing a step.
For my college project I've created buttons were when you roll over images they are enlarged. The problem I have is when I roll over the images, the one next to the one I want shows in front of the image that I'm scrolling over with the mouse. I want it so that the image being rolled over is in front. For example when the magazine article on the far left is enlarged it goes behind the logos next to it instead of in front so you can see clearly what's being scrolled.
View 5 RepliesI'm creating a menu from XML. It will be able to traverse over the XML recursively (so n-levels deep). The menu itself is a composite -- each node in the menu, either a menuList or menuItem, is a menuComponent. menuComponent is more-or-less an abstract class so they all inherit and override a draw() function. If the object is a menuList, then it has a Sprite container to hold all of it's children. I did this so it would be easy to add and remove all of it's children by just adding and removing a container that holds all of them.
The issue I'm having is with the event listeners. I am adding a mouse_over event to a button. The button is within a Sprite container. When I mouse over the button, I'm adding the submenu into the buttons container. The problem comes when I mouse out of the button. I've gotten the submenu to stay but not disappear on mouse_out OR it appears when I'm over the button but disappears as soon as I exit it. I THOUGHT if I attach the mouse_out listener to the container, it would work because the container should expand when I add the submenu into it.
ActionScript Code:
package as3 {
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.ErrorEvent;

I have a custom component made up of a selectable control (radio button)and a text input. I want to perform some logic in response to the change events from both of those controls, but after that I want anything that is registered on the composite component's change handler to have a change to handle the events as well. The problem is, when I re-dispatch the events the event target has changed to my custom component, losing the originating event's target.
Here's my custom component:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:HBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" label="{listItem.@text}" data="{listItem.@level.toString()}">
<mx:Script>
[code].....
In the event handler that receives change events from this component, I see that event.target is an instance of SpecifyRadioButton, not the TextInput or RadioButton, as I'd expect. How should I propagate the event to get what I want here?

We have been working on an opensource composite framework for developing flash games. We have been testing design concepts and we want to share our experience with the flash community. The goal: Develop a well designed framework that is simple to use.
So far:
1. GameObjects are autonomous. You can attach components such as RenderComponents or ScriptComponents to drive its behavior.
2. The SFS examples have been broken down into different components that can later be extended for your needs.
3. ExtensionMessages are routed to a global event handle that can be handled by the game objects.
The networking layer still needs a lot of work. The next thing on my list is to change the login handler component so that it can be extended with facebook, user/pass or etc components. I am also working on a Dependency Injection system that handles autowiring. Now that I have a new build system in I will be able to reintroduce that. You can have a look here: [URL]
I'm trying componentize one of the pieces of UI in an AIR application that I'm developing in Flex. In this example, I want to display file information on a single line (which has an icon, some text/link and the size).
My code looks like this (component is called FileDisplay):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="[URL]"><mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function set iconType(source:String):void {
this.ficon.source = source;
[Code] .....
However, when I do this, I get an error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. This is because the child components of the FileDisplay are null (or at least they show up that way in the debugger). Am I supposed to be waiting for events indicating the child components were created? For now I can manually do everything in ActionScript in my main app (create a Canvas and add children to it) but how to separate the code more cleanly.
I need to create some sort of video-editor for dummies, which has to generate a video file as output.The editor has to load a movie-file scale and rotate it to a certain degree, and generate a composite video of a background bitmap and the rotated and placed video.The frontend will be done in Flash/AS3 and has to use some background tools for processing the video.Can I use FFmpeg to generate such a composite? Or is there any other good background task available?
View 1 RepliesWhat would you use to create buttons which when pressed load an image in an image area within the same flash document?

As part of a much, much larger project, a client has asked me to take an existing flash banner, change the graphic, text, and link to make 4 more that are almost identical. Though I haven't worked extensively with Flash, I am familiar with it and thought this should be fairly easy, right? (Unfortunately, easy isn't exactly the word I'd use.)
I'm trying to take an existing fla, and change just the graphic, text, and button link to make a nearly identical banner. However, when I import a new image to replace the old image, the button disappears. I've tried overwriting the current image as well, and while I have a new image to show on the banner, and the text still works just fine, AND I have the outline of the box that should house the button (it even shows in the library),
Additionally, I will need to change the link, and since I'm having this much problem with a button, maybe you could understand how that works as well, because I can't even change it on the original.

View 7 RepliesI'm very new to flash and am using CS4/AS3. I have three image galleries of three images each. The images load dynamically from files on my computer. I've set it up so that when you click on a tab, you see a different set of three images.
The images load properly and it works to click forward to view them (that is, clicking on the image itself or the forward nav arrow). The issue I'm having is with the backward nav arrow. I keep geting an error message "Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found" when I click it.
The backward nav arrow works on the first gallery (egypt gallery) if I click that one first. But it doesn't work on the other two, and if I click back to the Egypt gallery after having been in the other two galleries, the back navigation no longer works in their either. Basically, I want the user to be able to click on a tab to load the images, and then be able to click back and forth between the images.If they reach the last image in a gallery, I just want it to stop advancing and stay put on the final image, but for the user to be able to click backwards through them if desired.

View 2 RepliesI'm having problems with my AS2 and XML (on Flash 8). I finally figured how to create a simple slideshow which incorporates a "Next" and "Previous" button...but what i'm struggling with is: "How to click on the 'next' button so that the existing image scrolls to the left as the new image from the right moves to the center. And the opposite for the 'previous' button". Currently I have the existing image disappearing (alpha 0) and then the new image scrolls to the center from the right - which is not what I want to do.

I have 2 buttons that i made an up arrow and a down arrow. I would like them to move an image up or down on mouse click. Although i made the button rollover actions previously and i got the script below from researching online. Now I am not sure if i should even bother with it. I thought if i could get the actionscript to recognize the buttons and tell it what to move the (the ad) I could get them to work. But haven't figured out how to do that and if i have to make custom buttons for this. see what i have below thus far.

I try to implement a gallery of image with two buttons on each side of the picture to go to the next or the previous image.
This is my code:
leftButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ButtonLeftHandler);
rightButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ButtonRightHandler);
function ButtonLeftHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("Mouse Button Left clicked");
picIndex--;
[Code] .....
On my output, I get
Sequence Stopped
When I clicked on a button. I don't get the trace message "Mouse button left..." My sequence is blocked.
I have been trying to figure out this problem for a couple days. I made an animation using actionscript 3.0 and the GreenSock TweenLite to load images in through XML in flash. When you click the button (btn1) to go to the next image, it animates in perfectly, but since I am multiplying 140 each time, if I click btn1 while the image is transitioning in, it adds another 140 to that value and the next image goes off the screen. Think of it as a slot machine effect, witch is pretty much what it looks like. The images load in as if they're on a reel, vertically. I would like to know how to set a limit so that instead of adding 140 to the value, it goes to the next image instead, and centers it perfectly in the mask I have set up. Do you guys get what I am trying to do? If not, I can zip the folder up and attach it here, but it's a project for a client so I'm a bit weary.
Again, quick summary: btn1, if clicked more than once during the span of the image transitioning in (through XML and gs.tweenlite), the image gets 140 added to its positional value and goes off the screen.
Code:
import gs.TweenLite;
var id:int=0;
var list:XMLList;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
