Professional :: Zoom-in On Stage And Creating Scale Dependant Layers?
Jul 19, 2010
I've learned how to link XML to my FLA and have it populate info boxes. Its easy to do this at the state level but I'd now like to do this for all the counties in the US.I'd like to be able to mouse over a state and get information pertinent to each state (this I know how to do). When one clicks on the state, they'll then fly-in to a more zoomed level where they can see county-level information.Should I build this so that clicking on a state simply loads a new FLA specific to that state and its counties? This seems easy but clunkyIt seems smarter to have all the info in one FLA. When you click on a state, you'll zoom into that states level and then have the ability to click on counties and get their infoDoes anyone have suggestions as to what I should learn next to start making this thing scalable (i.e. how to click on a state and zoom-in)?
I am trying to create a zooming in effect on some text. To do this i am using the scaleX and scaleY Tween. The problem that I am having is instead of scaling outwards in all directions, it looks like its scaling downwards and to the right. I think this is because the centre of origin is in the top left corner.
Code: import fl.transitions.Tween; import fl.transitions.easing.*; import fl.transitions.TweenEvent; var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); myFormat.size=15; [Code] .....
I want to create a presentation in flash (as SWF file) and I want that in the final SWF file there will be an effect that zooming into one of the stage's object, say for instance this is a picture I want to zoom in and out to/from it, so how can I do it and is this involved with actionscript integration or not?
I'm trying to do a presentation of some Adobe Illustrator graphics in flash for an architectual presentation. I want to zoom in on some content and have new layers fade in and out. I guess this is done by tweens, as I had som succes in that direction.The problem becomes obvious when I want to control my presentation. I want to set cue points/keyframes/whatever so that the presentation will start at the click of a 'next button' or a click og the mouse. Then I want it to stop at some point when the tween/moving around of objects is done, so that I have talking time before playing the next tween with a click etc.
I have created a 3D product view page with a scrub bar that spins the object via 32 images taken of the object all the way around.
I would now like to add a zoom and pan function of some kind as well. Anyone have any suggestions or FLA files with this sort of thing? The 3D spin images are inside a movieclip, so I basically need a "+" and "-" button to scale the images up, and then be able to drag the movieclip around the stage too.
how i could create a function to do the following:- I have a mc and when you click on it i want it to scale too say 150% and move to a different x y position, then when you click on it again i want it to go back to its original size and position.
i'm making a game where a ship moves from a random starting position to a target but I want to be able to zoom in & out (its a plan view) so would therefore need some way of scaling all MCs on stage equally & move them closer together when zooming out.. how I might do this? I thought maybe putting everything within 1 MC possibly?
ok, so i got a logo, each letter it a clip, cos the logo is bit more than just text, but thats beside the point. I want each letter to start of larger than it should be and zoom out (scale down) to the normal size, pref with a bit of a bounce at the end, so it goes from very big to, slightly smaller then proper size, to proper size, get it?
so with help from Master64 (via IRC) i worked out that i could use _xscale and _yscale (i am relativly new here, lol ) but the problem i got is that it scales, but in huge jumps, not smooth.
The class is ment to be reusable (duh!) so my concept is
There is an Image control that when I click on it I need to zoom in (using the center/transform point where the mouse is clicked). I have the zoom transition working great, but when I set transformX & tranformY (with autoCenterTransform false) it doesn't zoom into that point.
Here is my code that only zooms in (not to a specific point) <fx:Script> <![CDATA[ protected function imgLogo_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { transformer.play(); } ]]> [Code] .....
For lack of a better description, I have a world of bitmaps, but some are outside the boundaries of the stage. How can I scale my world larger and smaller to effective zoom in and out?

I'm trying to add zoom functionality to Lex Talkington's great Panning Class HTML Code: [URL] and have run into the following issue: I cannot seem to get the image to scale without also scaling the container _rectangle. Here's my code

is there a way to have (the postion of) objects be dependant of another one? I have attached a simple .fla file with two boxes (MovieClips) that grow in height. Since the position of the bottom box is constant, the top box soon expands "into" the one below so that parts of it are hidden. What I want is that the gap between those two objects stays constant (in this case 50px). So, is there any way to make the position of one object dependant on (the size of) another? Or is there any other "workaround"/tip you can give me?
I am doing a project for class and I am trying to see how i can make a certain action script in flash.I wanted to see if I can stack a few hundred (very small) images on top of one another with very low opacities.These stacked images will randomly change their order in the layers and create a unique composition everytime.Is there a way to do this in flash? if so, how would I go about it?
This goes out to Scotty or any other guru floating around out here. I need the image_mc movieclip in this .fla to scale to fit browser, however i need the image to scale in proportion. I would also need a listener of sorts that will NOT allow the image_mc movieclip to scale below the stage size of 1024 x 768.
I am creating a survey in flash to survey people's opinion about the temperature in a building. What I am hoping to do is have a scale which the surveyee can click on (see attached image) with 5 options from Too warm, warm, just right, cool, and too cold, and record where on the scale they click.
For example, if "Just Right" were correlated to an answer of 3 and "Warm" was correlated to an answer of 2, and a user were to click halfway between the two, I would want the recorded value to be 2.5. If they click closer to "Just Right" I want the recoded answer to be 2.8, etc.
It seems that the quick and dirty way I can think of doing this is to create a serious of invisible buttons over my scale which can then tell me where they click, but then I am limited in the granularity of the answer and it would just be a pain to create that many buttons.
I'm trying to create a scale in and out roll-over that's nice and smooth. I have had a fiddle with the scaleX and scaleY, but can't make it transition from original to enlarged size and back again smoothly..
I purchased a flash home page template that had menu buttons at the top that I decided not to use. I removed the buttons, but now there is a 125 pixel blank horixontal space at the top of the stage. I tried resizing the horizontal size of the stage hoping the artwork would move up and eliminate the blank area, but the stage sizes from the bottom up. The layers get cutoff at the bottom and the blank space is still at the top.
The movie is quite complex with many layers and 450+ frames. Have attached the swf file to illustrate how the top of the stage is empty after I removed the menu buttons. Is there any way to get all of the layers to move up by 125 pixels so that they fill in the blank space without having to do each layer one at a time?
I've jumped in head first into Actionscript and I'm working my way through Adobe's Classroom in a Book for AS3. I've just completed chapter 4 and am currently trying to solve the "try on your own" problems at the end of the chapter.
Here's a problem that is stumping me:
Create a button to let the user set the size of the shapes that they paint.
And here is my code (the commented bits of code are solutions I tried but didnt work):
I'm widening the stage of a existing FLA, is it possible to widen the stage and to reposition all the layers of the FLA so they move in relation to the widing of the stage. Or do I have to reposition all of the layers individually?
I've done a movie which has a lot of motion tweens. I need to zoom in to a particular point. I don't want to do it by tweening. Must to do by actionScript code.
I have a big movieClip which the user can zoom by click on a 'zoom-in' button. Once zoomed the user can click on that movieclip and pan it. Now the center of that movieClip is displaced and no longer where it was before. However, if the user click on 'zoom-in' now again, the movieClip should zoom from the center of the stage and not from the movieClip's center.
To put it simply, I want a formula which will zoom a movieClip from the center of the stage and not from its registration point, no matter where the registration point is.
Here's what I am trying to do: zoom out (shrinking everything), while revealing more space to work with. What I did: Modify _xscale and _yscale. It worked, however the results are not what I expected. Problem: While this cause everything to shrink by the scale amount, the entire Stage shrunk as well. So my 700x425 flash is mostly empty, while the stage itself is being rendered in a small rectangle in the corner. I cannot move any objects outside of this small box. Most of the flash space is wasted. Is there any way to shrink the scale AND enlarge the Stage.width/height at the same time to zoom out and create more canvas space?
I would like to know how to achieve an effect like in Flash Element TD 2 http:[url]....when you select a tower or a creep you can see a real time zoom of what you select on the right side panel.
