I have something in mind like this: [URL] so each time, when the mouse is over each state, different information should show up in the right side box with different information. How should I implement this? should I draw the right side information box as picture, and then write a script to ask information to display when mouse is on certain state, is this a movie clip?
View 6 RepliesSo I've created an interactive map that loads info in from a csv file and displays that information on 120 cities with a radius around each city.The cities have been manually placed on the map and the data is sent to them from a custom function.The problem I'm having is with the RollOver effect on the radius as some of my cities end up underneath the other ones as the radius grow and subtract through a timeline.I'm just wondering of the best way to give each city a set depth and then arrange the depth order within a set number of depths.Should I attempt to put all the cities in an array that way I can check the size of each city in the array and order the depth = to the value of the radius size.

View 14 RepliesI watched the very useful Custom Panel Extension tutorial. But the tutorial doesn't show how to get data such as info about my current selection back to my custom panel. MMExecute seems like a one way street.
Specifically, I want to display a selection's X and Y position in the custom panel. How do I call fl.getDocumentDOM().getSelectionRect() in such a way that the results are accessible to the panel?

I've been working creating an interactive display map for a client. I've figured out the controls I'd like to use for moving the map, but I'm having trouble with the zooming features.
What I'd like to do is have the user click on the "+" button to zoom in and the "-" button to zoom out. The problem is the map is not centered when the user clicks either button?
Any ideas how I can fix this, or improve it?
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'm trying to make an interactive map, whitch the size is 2880 - 2090, and the problem is the zoom in and out, I Want it to start with the magnification of 60%?

View 5 RepliesI got a .XML that is "created" with PHP from a MySql-database. I then load the .XML data into Flash. What i want to do now is the tricky part(for me)
This is how my XML looks right now (more will be added):
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<entries>
<entry>
[Code]....
And when i add another Entry into the XML i want the SWF to auto input.
I think i would somehow loop trough everything and insert to variables, but how and then how do i make flash add textfields for every entry and childnode in a nice way. I want to be able to scroll this later on.
I've just started a new job, and I have the opportunity to do some work with Flash CS5 - I've never used Flash before and I'm excited to be learning new stuff! I have been tasked with creating an interactive thing... well, how 'bout I just show you
I've built it in Photoshop, but I need to make it come to life. The user should be able to grab the slider and drag it left or right and for the numbers to change appropriately. I don't even know enough about Flash to know what keywords to search to find a tutorial that'll show me how to do something similar!
I've been trying to make an interactive map. I have a stage that is...default size will do. On next layer I have map..on layer above is a mask with a hole in. The idea is the user can drag the map around and get info from hotspots on the map. I know I can restrict the area that the map can be dragged but this seems to only work if the map is smaller than the stage, but my map is much bigger than this. How do I set this up??

I am trying to make an interactive calendar. I would like the day to be highlighted when it opens. The highlight is a movie clip with a number for the instance name.

It's not working and I'm not sure why. I could easily be going about it ALL wrong. I suspect that it being an onClipEvent is an error. Can't I just getDate and setProperty?
I have attached the file. Once I understand how this works I can duplicate it for loading the correct month and year.
I have some scrolling content (info). I've also made my own scroll bar.I want the scrollBar dragger to be positioned in relation to the info._y as the user scrolls info.I have created two vars: one that worsk out where info._y is as a percentage and the other that works out where the scroll._y dragger should be as a percentage...
Actionscript Code:
var scrollBarPercent = Math.round(scrollBar.dragger._y / [code]........
also onMouseWheel working too.I need a small bit of code that takes the % of info._y and moves the scrollBar dragger to the same % but in relation to the Stage.height...so if projectGalleryPercent = 50%, make dragger._y 50% of Stage.height using scrollBarPercent.

I'm a programmer and I've learn some basic knowledge about Flash Builder. What I can do with it now is to use the components and somethings override the redraw function to design my own components. However, I find that is a inefficient way and I seems to complex to achieve the animation with only codes. Are there some way to develop with Flash Builder and Flash CS? And how to make animation without complex code? Could you recommend some books for me?

I'm in the middle of making an interactive movie with events within it that act sort of like quick time events, only that there are multiple outcomes, making it sort of like an old "Choose your own adventure" book. I'm certain you can do what I want to do within Flash, but I have no idea how to as the only commands I know in Actionscript are stop(); and play(); and i'm not sure what the (); means, only that I needed it.
However, all I need is some simple commands to make it so that when the viewer hits the "a" or "l" key, the film will advance to another frame. These keys are meant to correspond to two different actions in the film depending on the situation - At one point, to leave through a door or dive through a window, and at another to dodge left or right away from an object. Though there is a third option for when the player does nothing, that should be simple enough to code so it's not a problem.
I want to make an Interactive Video in flash (or another method if known). basically to sum this up. I want to make a video which then some options will appear in the video (They could be buttons by the side of the video), which you then need to choose for another video to play. (Exactly like how you tube uses annotation) Is this possible with flash? or would I need to use another program?

View 7 RepliesI'm new ActionScript, and programming in general, however I've been doing a lot of tutorials and reading my Flash CS4 Bible, and cruising the forums like crazy trying to figure out how to go about scripting for my project.
Situation: I need to make an interactive flash movie that explains a painting.when you rollover different sections of the painting, I would like the rest of the painting to dim, and for that section to grow. if you are to roll out, it goes back to the first frame and the same thing happens for all of the sections.
If you are to click on any given section, there will be a voiceover, and possibly a little animation that goes along with it. if you either watch the whole thing or click anywhere on the painting, it should go back to frame.I've thought of a few ways to do it, but can't seem to get the scripting right.for now, I'm only worried about the first part because the rest is going to be similar.Frame 1 I have the painting and an invisible button over a section. frames 2-7 is that section growing and the rest of the painting getting dim there is a stop(); on frames 1 and 7
