Flash :: Navigating Through Site With Animation
Nov 18, 2009
Basically, what i want to do is have a home page with some images and things on it, and a menu. When the user clicks on a menu button, i want the images on the homepage to animate away, and be replaced with the chosen page (animated in). I understand how to animate things using Tweens in the timeline and also in As3 using the Tween Class, but for the animation i'd like to do it's so much easier to use the timeline (i don't think i'd be able to use as3 to do really complicated things yet).
I can figure out how to make the home page disappear, but i can't figure out how to then animate in the correct page. If anyone can point me in the direction of a good tutorial or just give me some hints i'd be sooo grateful!! I think i'm just struggling to get my head into it.

I have a site that includes a Flash music player integrated into the layout. I want users to be able to navigate around the site without interrupting the music. I've done plenty of research and thinking and the following are the options I came up with (keeping in mind I want to be as SEO friendly as possible).
AJAX: I set up a version that changes the main content div to whatever nav link they click, thereby not interrupting the Flash player. I set it up in the proper search-engine-friendly manner with direct links and JQuery/Ajax functions. If someone goes to site.com/ and clicks the Contact nav link, it loads what's in the main content div on site.com/contact.php into the main content div and changes the URL bar to site.com/#Contact. The same goes for if they go to site.com/contact.php and click About in the nav, it loads the About content and changes the URL bar to site.com/contact.php#About. Obviously this opens up a whole new can of worms with AJAX and hash navigation/history issues, and I would end up with people possibly linking to things like site.com/contact.php#About (which I think looks terrible and can't be too great for SEO). Store the Flash player vars somewhere and reload them with the page: I'm not sure how to go about this, but I thought about keeping my regular navigation without AJAX and have it so when a user clicks a nav link, before it changes pages it stores the Flash player vars (current song and song position) somewhere, then loads them into Flash when the new page loads. Something with an iframe? Good alternative to a Flash player that will work for this type of application?

I looked all over but I couldn't find what I would think is a pretty standard flash tutorial - so in sudden desperationI need a tutorial that teaches me a way you can make flash websites in as3 have an animation function when going to a page, as well as an animation function going to another page.

I've got a flash animation attached which I added a layer to and follow the post at [URL] to try and make it go to a url when the layer is clicked.
You can see the animation at [URL] but when it is clicked on, instead of going to the site I specify [URL] it goes to [URL]
I'm nearly at the end of my tether here - have tried it in flash cs3 trial with a number of tutorials online,. and I also just bought Koolmoves, tried it as well but it does exactly the same this. I've set Flash 8 export and network access in publish options

if it is possible to create a full flash site where I am able to click on links within the site and like an HTML website the links/pages are shown in the url as such
HTML SITE - example: www.example.com/bio.html
FLASH SITE - example: www.examples.com/bio
The example for the Flash Site is what I am looking to do and I'm wondering if this is possible.. I've seen some sites that I believe are Flash Sites which have this type of set up please see the link provided. [URL]

I am creating a map (a jpg) and when you click in certain hotspots it uses tween lite to change the scale of the map to 50 to show info on the region. There are 20 regions and every region has its own JPG (900x600px 60k each). All JPG are inside the SWF (its size is 1.3Mb). The problem is that when you are navigating the map sometimes freezes and you need to refresh the page to unfreeze it. Could be this because the large amounts of images or maybe the scale of 50 I am using?

I seem to have an issue with a flash I have written. The person who I made it for is telling me that first time he loads the page with the Flash in it, it loads fine. However, at this point if he navigates to another portion of the site, then goes back to the Flash page, he says it freezes on the loading bar. Consistently everytime, but only on his work computer, not home computer or lap-top. I think it might be a caching issue in IE, but I am kind of stumped, anyone ever experience this?

I made an animation in Flash which I want to embed in Flex using SWFloader.
I've imported the tweener class (caurina.transitions.*) to tween a rotation. The animation runs perfectly in Flash.
However, when I embed the animation in Flex, the tweening is gone.
Do I need to import the tweener class in Flex?
I use Flash Player 10 (latest version), Flash CS4 Professional version 10.0.02, IE8 and Flex Builder 3.

I have a certain set of motion twains that I've successfuly completed, they constantly loop right now (default), and is saved in the SWF file.I'd like to take that finished looping animation, and insert it within another animation (a) that can be played with a play button, and stopped/resetted with a stop button.How do I insert the completed looping animation into the main animation? And is there something special I have to do in the actionscript of the start and stop buttons so that the "inner" looping animation will start and stop with the "outer" main animation?

I'm a born-again newbie, as it's been awhile, so bear with me...I have a main movie, with the menus and some basic info. I would like each section of the portfolio to load as a separate swf (to save on file size)...we were hoping to have the back/next, copyright buttons on top of a full size image...but my question is how to navigate the home button to return to the main movie with the menus...the old site had separate sections loading into an mtClip with the following code:
loadMovie("vr4.swf", 1);
then when you click home:
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("home");
unloadMovieNum(1);
}
how to code the home button on the section swfs to unload the movie, but return to the main movie without reloading?

I made a 3d box using flash cs4 built in 3d tools and I'm trying to "walk around" in it. I do this by moving the box accordingly.

The Problem: When you go to close to the back wall and look around the whole perspective gets messy. I know I'm not supposed to move Z like that.. I think.. I have no clue what properties to change for this to work.

I'm trying to teach myself actionscript 3 and going insane over an issue with an .flv video that I can't stop.
The problem I'm having is that I can't make video (an .flv within the "FLVPlayback" component set as a movie clip) stop when navigating to another tab. Navigating away from and back to my video page/frame even results in 2 audio streams playing simultaneously. I think the problem lies with me not being able (or knowing how) to identify the video/movie clip with "(name)".stop();
Here's the source file (the first and last navigation tabs on the left are complete, video is on the last tab) SOURCE:

I am a real noob at AS3. Its so frustrating now to try to re-learn how to navigate to different movieclips on different levels in my flash demo... Or for that matter, how to navigate at all with buttons on the timeline. I have a movieclip called mc_Flyouts on my main timeline. Inside of it are a left and a right side arrow which when clicked trigger a tween and flyout buttons appear. I want it so when the user clicks any of these flyout buttons in this movie, they jump to a different keyframe back out on the main timeline. I got the following code to work, but its giving me errors:

I am using Flash CS3 and AS2 on a PC. I am making a CD in Flash, for a client. The CD has videos, images and text. What I need is be able to go to the next scene once an FLV has finished playing. Also if a new FLV can be loaded once the curent ends. The FLV is in the FLVPlayback component. I need to add Cue Points which I can use to navigate with. The client would prefer a minimum of buttons, and thus auto navigation once a point is reached.I would prefer to avoid the need for me to use third party software or add-ons unless absolutely necessary.

I have several swf files which are completed screencasts with voice overs, which I need to integrate into a flash application to distribute on CD to new students.
To play the screencasts in my flash file, I'm navigating to a new frame for each one which has a movie clip on it (instance name myscu3 for example). The myscu3 movieclip has about 20 frames of animation to grey out the screen behind, and then a couple of frames with actionscript on them, which 1) first frame shows a loading screen while the screencast swf is loading via a Loader and then navigates to the 2) second frame where the screencast coords are set and addChild is used to show the screencast via the Loader.
All works fine EXCEPT ... if I navigate away from the parent timeline frame where the myscu3 clip is ... the screencast disappears (as it should, as the myscu3 clip isn't on other frames, but if the screencast hasn't finished playing before I navigate away, the sound keeps playing.
how to stop the sound playing, as the loader is in the child movieclip, and the navigation away from the frame containing it is accomplished by clicking on any of the tabs at the side (on the main timeline). Any ideas? Is there actionscript code which will just stop any current sound playing (without stopping the ability to play sound) which I could add into the tabs navigation code?
