Add Functional Buttons To A Sliding Panel?
Nov 6, 2009
i want to make a sliding panel with 2 buttons on it. The panel pops up from the bottom of the screen when the mouse is hovering over the the bottom 25 pixels of the screen. The panel is set to disappear when the user hovers the mouse off of the panel. At first i just tried to put buttons on the panel and covert the whole thing to a symbol, but then i could not access the individual properties of the buttons. What i tried instead is to make invisible buttons over the area where the image of the buttons were on the panel. The problem is that when now when the user hovers over the button, flash reads it as the mouse leaving the panel and the panel disappears.

so i have some buttons that i want to put on a sliding panel. The panel and the buttons are on the same layer. The buttons are buttons i created. there is a seperate button, instantiated as channels, that i use to slide the panel out. I read an online example that made it seem as though if i just placed the buttons on the panel in the stage, they would just slide out with the panel. This is not the case however. here's my code

I'd like to make an options bar in my project that shrinks when clicked to hide away but when clicked again, opens again to reveal itself. The problem I'm having is that the panel squishes everything inside of it when it shrinks and I dont want that, instead I want everything to stay the same and just hide away.[code]...

I found a cool menu that I'd like to be able to use but right now I don't know how to make the buttons become functional links. If its just a matter of editing the XML only? Or...does something need to be added to the actionscipt as well. I have a hunch both need to be edited and I have already tried various revisions. Below is the link where the example and files can be found. Be aware that if you try to use the actual files you will need an mc tween extension found at [URL].
Here is the XML code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<item nazov="button num 1 "load="" image=""/>
<item nazov="button num 2" load="" image=""/>
<item nazov="button num 3" load="" image=""/>
<item nazov="button num 4" load="" image=""/>
[Code] ....

I have created a sliding rollover panel so that a user can hover over an invisible button to reveal the panel itself. The panel itself is under a movie clip which basically motion tweens the panel to slide in and out effectively. Then there is the panel_mc inside the movie clip which contains an img. The one panel can slide out but for some reason cannot slide back, even when you rollover the button(popUp_btn)!!!! The compiler errors does not even display this error!!!
Here is the code for the main AS timeline in the site:
stop();
panel_mc_arrangement.panelInner_mc_arrangement.popUp_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,rollFarrange);
function rollFarrange(event:MouseEvent):void{ if(panel_mc_arrangement.currentFrame <<2){
panel_mc_arrangement.play();
}else{ panel_mc_arrangement.gotoAndPlay(20); }}

I'm trying to create a simple 2D sliding puzzle in AS 3.0, but I haven't gotten further than splitting up the image and placing it into a grid. My main issue is to figure out how each panel will detect if there's a free space near it when you click them.

i'm a flash newb, wrestling with actionscript 3 and ran into a problem with a drop down menu.the menu is composed of nested movie clips that open and close, and contain buttons that control a ui loader in scene 1. it seemed to be working all right until i realized that after opening and closing and reopening a submenu, the buttons that worked the first time stopped controlling the ui loader. since there aren't any error messages i'm kind of at a loss as to what needs fixing.

I've created a sliding menu that has a left button and a right button. Each button slides a background movieclip to the left or right. The background mc eases into position when one of the buttons is clicked. Problem is that buttons can still be clicked while the mc is easing into position. This throws off my x coordinate positioning of the mc. I've tried disabling the buttons and enabling them again at a few different points in my code. I've also tried using a time delay to enable the buttons but my logic isn't working. I've stripped the code that was not working out.

I have sliding menus. They are movieclip with a rollover state on the back panel. You can view it at: [URL]
Now... the problem is that when I place submenus in this movieclip, whether it is a button or text with a link, it acts as a RollOut of the movieclip. What's up with that? I've tried the getBounds method, but it's just not smooth or fast enough.

I need some buttons, and they should slide continuously in axis X in different speed. And when I go over them with the mouse, I want, the buttons slow down, and stop. And when I go out from them, I want these buttons, to continue the sliding in X. I've already done the graphics, but in Flash CS5 I stopped.... I cant do it myself.

i have a movie clip (mc_1) inside of this movieclip i made
-one button ("start") : by its event Roll_Over the animation (of mc_1) starts
-ten menu buttons (b_1,b_2,b_3,....,b_10) : at first they're not on the stage, but they appear one by one,frames by frames, after I rolled over "start".
-one invisible button (inv_btn): placed right under the area occupied by those previous buttons..by its RollOut event i make the menu rewind so the ten buttons disappera one after one other.
now i have to put the menu buttons inside an array (cause i made a script for dynamic loading images from XML) but i receive #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. this is why i put in the array buttons that at first doesn't even exist...and when the menu closes disappear again..how can I handle the situation?
//this is the array code i put in the first frame of mc_1.
var bottone:Array = new Array(b_1,b_2,b_3,b_4,b_5,b_6,b_7,b_8,b_9);
for(var i=0;i<bottone.length; i++) {
var but_var:MovieClip = MovieClip(bottone[i])
but_var.buttonMode = true;
but_var.id = i;

If you have a look at the attached sliding menu there are four buttons. Each button brings an image in place. I want the button that�s been clicked to remain red until I hit a different button, even when the cursor is not right in front.

I'm making a slide menu that loads a xml file and creates buttons dynamically. Another functionality it has a sliding menu also, and I can't stop it. Heres goes the zip file, which contains .fla and .xml files. What I want to do is when I put the mouse at the top of the mask, the menu stops on the first option, and when I put the mouse at the bottom, the menu stops on the last option. Is it possible? [URL]

I am dynamically creating panels based on information i get from an XML file but i'm having a problem with adding buttons to these panels. These buttoms are also created based on information taken from the XML file. The problem seems to be in the way i give the panels an Id name.[code]...

I discovered this while doing some programmatic panel resizing:Components in a spark Panel will still be visible when their location is outside the physical Panel boundaries. This does not happen with the mx Panel.unning Flex 4.1 on Windows 7I tried putting mx and spark controls in the spark Panel, and they both appear outside of the boundaries. Note this doesn't happen with the mx Panel. What am I missing to make the spark behave like the mxSample Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"

I want to create a panel docking to a pop up panel in my flex app, like Winamp's playlist window can dock to main window. but I didn't find any useful on docking in flex
I've traced the PopUpManager, but I didn't find any available interfaces or events about popup window's moving, I think it's design shouldn't be so bad.

The playhead in Motion Editor doesn't work and I'm seeing in tutorials.I can't scrub it along the timeline.When I pick a keyframe point it doesn't appear there unless I change the value of that point. If I then click on the playhead rectangle, the playhead disappears (actually it appears to jump to the first frame where it's half visible and can't be moved).I was playing with the motion editor interface trying to better define the problem and I figured out what's wrong.
The Motion Editor values for graph size, expanded graph size, and viewable frames were unusable in their default settings. In particular, viewable frames were set to 1 by default. As I increased the value the playhead started to function. I can't set a value higher than 117. I've maxed-out the graph size setting at 180 (300" wide format display) and the expanded graph size at 200.

I'm setting up a functional test suite for an application that loads an external configuration file. Right now, I'm using flexunit's addAsync function to load it and then again to test if the contents point to services that exist and can be accessed.
The trouble with this is that having this kind of two (or more) stage method means that I'm running all of my tests in the context of one test with dozens of asserts, which seems like a kind of degenerate way to use the framework, and makes bugs harder to find. Is there a way to have something like an asynchronous setup? Is there another testing framework that handles this better?

We used the FLARmanager, developed a nice little app, runs find locally, runs fine on our dev Linux server.Put it on an IIS server. When we click on the 'allow webcam' prompt, the webcam control panel pops up (as usual), butthere is no camera image displayed. The camera light does not come on. The camera control panel goes awayCould it be server configuration? Settings? Security? Why would it be different on different servers, all things being equal?

I have a button on a swf that works fine (click it and it launches a html page) on its own when rendered as a swf - the code forwards to a new page on a html site.[code]but I have used a separate preloader to help load in the graphic, the trouble is this does not seem to pass on the above code, yet the rollover code (that makes the mc resize a little) that is a layer or 2 into the bttn works fine in the original swf and the preloader.[code]
I wonder if anyone could advise me as to how, in as3, I can regain the click functionality back so the swf works after being preloaded.Also, is there a quick way to get the 'finger' pointer instead of the 'arrow' one if I so wished?.

I have a series of nested movieclips that on rollOver they come to full alpha value and on rollout they go to like 20 alpha. In one of the clips it has a scroller but when I apply the alpha effect it makes the scrollbar not functional.How can I make an alpha effect like this with making everything inside the MC functional?I was using this type of code by the way: my_mc.alphaTo(20,1);

I've been solving the problem with a mail form already for hours. I've tried many of them, but none of them works. The mail can't be sent. For example this one:send me some functional form so I could try it?I don't have any clue where the problem is. I have been trying it from two servers and on two different e-mail addresses.

I have created a drop down menu all as one movieclip. I have placed for the variable, event listener within my scripts layer in this movieclip as it should be, no errors. It works fine if I attempt to navigate from my main navigation buttons (ones that can be rolled over and clicked on (when rolling over them, it also unmasks a menu of submenu buttons. However, my issue is that if i attempt to change this navigation code to the submenu button, it no longer performs as it should (again, no errors). The only difference is that my submenu buttons are on a layer underneath the main buttons within this same movieclip, and they are masked by a shape for the rollover event.
[Code]....
if i change the home_btn back to site_btn (a submenu button), it no longer functions, but works properly when assigned to home_btn.

Here is piece of code:
protected function handleTriggers(raw:Object) : void {
var name:String, value:String, map:Object;
map = {
'onclick': MouseEvent.CLICK,
'ondblclick': MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK,
[Code] .....
Object is generic DisplayObject and raw object contains series of onclick, onmouseover, etc event triggers. It was meant that I could attach event listeners automatically following the properties of that raw object. And it seems like it works, as I indeed can see some listener Functions in listeners property of the DisplayObject and their number corresponds to the number of triggers. But later when everything is put on stage, only the last event handler gets triggered.
