I have the animation performing ok in the file, but I am having trouble getting the movie clip to play on mouseover. could really use some advice on this. I've been through a number of tutorials, but cannot get this file to play nice.On mouseover, the menu should animate down (play the clip). This brings up another question, however How do I get the menu to receed (animate up) when the cursor leaves the button region?

View 21 RepliesI have so far managed to create a drop down menu by following some tutorials but have ran into some problems that have left me scratching my head.
Two main buttons have drop downs & I have managed to link to URLs with the drop down menu buttons. My problem is I can't figure out how to link to URLs with the main menu options (these are movies as opposed to buttons).
I also can't figure out how to open the linked URL in the same page instead of a new one.
I have uploaded my menu file in a zip.
I'm making just a simple "website"-like project but I'm stuck on scripting the buttons for the drop down menu. I want the buttons, when clicked, to go to a different frame in the root timeline, but I just can't seem to get it work ). This is my code so far for the whole project.

import fl.transitions.easing.Regular;

I got mcMaine that contains 5 other mc. Each of these mc contains animation tween in them.
I would like to make each animation start playing, individually, on a specific frame, in the main timeline.
I'm trying to figure out how to start a flash animation at 7PM PST every Tuesday PST this animation would signify a 'live chat.' I can't figure how to make it PST specific, or how to do automate it every Tuesday, and I'm not sure if it's possible with just AS2.0 and no php involvement. I looked up the "get.Timeshift" function in the help.
View 3 RepliesI have a swf file "home" that has a series of animations that are button controled.I want part of the animation to be skipped when I click one specific button, for instance.Most of the time I want frame label:"1 out" to play all the way through to the last frame (20) and on frame (20) there is an action sending it back to frame 1and stopping, but I need to have a button that when hit plays frame label 1: "1 out" and continues to frame (19) and does not utilize the action on frame (20) sending it back to frame (1), or in other words playing through "1 out" and then playing "2 out" which occurs on frame 21 without returning to frame (1).

I am making a simple application, 4 pages of information with the navigation buttons in a bar along the bottom of all four pages. (easy right!)
My problem is, i won't the information (pics,videos etc) to animate into each page when selected.
I can make them animate in by using the gotoAndPlay () method. BUT when i do this it just loops through all the remaining pages till the end.
gotoAndStop () doesn't play the animations, but the navigation works find.

View 5 RepliesI am new to ActionScript 3.0. I am trying to create a button that will jump ahead to a specific frame, let the animation run, and then stop before reaching a specific frame. I have the first part working:

Once I get to frame 25, the animation will start. But I want to stop the animation at frame 49. How would I do this?

View 1 RepliesSo i am working on a pause menu for my game. I have an inventory box that has slots for weapons, powerups, and other items. I wanted different boxes that are specific to each type of pick-up (weapons, powerups, other). So I drew a box with 3 frames, it is set up similar to tabs in a web browser; click on weapons tab and you see your weapons in your inventory, click on powerups tab and you see the powerups etc...
In each frame I gave the inventory slots different instance names, i.e. in weapons; weaponSlot1, weaponSlot2, and in powerups; powerupSlot1, powerupSlot2.
When the player bumps into an item, i use gotoAndStop('frame number') so that each item is added to the proper inventory slot. the only problem is that if i bump into a key then pause the game, the key is there (under 'Other' tab), but if i click the 'weapon' tab and then go back to 'other', the key is no longer there.
This makes sense because when you click on each tab, i use gotoAndStop('frame number'), and in each frame the inventory slots are blank, so im stumped on how to keep each item in the proper slots?
I am going to i upload all my files in a zip, the main file that you will want to look at is the PauseMenu.as file
Also you will notice 3 public functions called 'checkWeaponSlots', 'checkPowerupSlots', and 'checkOtherSlots'. These are called in my main file, when the player bumps into an item, these functions are called to check which slots are empty.
I am looking for an app or apps which I can use to demonstrate many of the specific graphics, animation, and interaction capabilities available using Flash CS4 Pro. Basically something just like the Tour de Flex app only for Flash CS3/CS4 Pro. The Adobe site has a sparse set of some examples, but again I am looking for something more comprehensive like Tour de Flex.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to seamlessly loop specific layers containing .swf or .flv movies infinitely, independent of other layers in the timeline.I have attempted to use the gotoAndPlay("x"); method, but the target layer always freezes on the last frame for about .5 seconds before executing the gotoAndPlay command. The only situation in which it doesn't freeze is when frame "x" is the first frame of the project.No other actionscript is being used anywhere else in this project

for a menu i use 3 MCs, when you click one of them, the two others MCs will make place for the 'options' of the clicked menu.

View 4 Repliesbasically on the stage I have my Menu movieclip which is linked to an actionscript class called Menu. Within this I have another movieclip, not linked to actionscript, just a plain old movieclip.
This movie in question is a dialog box, and contains an animation for it popping up, and then going away again. I'm trying to put actions on specific frames to make it stop when it reaches the middle of the animation, then when "ok" is pressed the animation will resume and it disappears again. However the actions on the frames don't seem to be getting executed. I tried putting "this.stop();" on the middle frame, and have since put "trace("hello?");" on all kinds of frames but it doesnt seem that the actionscript is getting called at all.
This is something for work so I don't really want to start sending the .fla file around, but instead is there anything I should know about things which could cause the frame actions to not be executed?
I typically try and stay away from adding a flash animation that has 3 static text links to a Dreamweaver html file but my client requested it. Basically, I have this flash animation as an swf file and need to have 3 links inside the swf file open to a page below.Please see the way my site is structured below. I am not sure if I need to edit the links more in flash with more action script code or if there is an easy way to integrate it. I was thinking of basically having the animation play and then load to a second scene with a png and links inside of it but I would prefer to learn how to do this in code or within the flash file.
Also, when I try and use a static text link it won't recognize what I have below as an actual link. Does anyone know what the proper format to write a link in flash is so it will pull a div box to load below? I guess the formatting in link (see the chain icon text) is an unrecognized protocol and I am used to the Dreamweaver formatting of links.

I have a menu in which when you click on a button, a rectangle moves up or down to sit behind the button clicked on (to highlight it). I was wondering how I can make the rectangle move smoothly as in the tutorial where the ball follows the mouse. Here is the code I have used:- Actions layer- Frame 1: currenty = -50; yto = -50; Frame 2: if (currenty == yto) { } else if (currentyyto) { setProperty(bar, _y, bar._y-10); currenty = bar._y; } Frame 3: gotoAndPlay(2); And for each button- on (release) { yto = -50; _root.contents.loadMovie("demopage.swf"); } With 'yto' specifying the location to move to.. This all works fine, I just cannot work out how to get that smooth springy movment as the the 'Mouse Follow with Easing' tutorial.
View 2 RepliesI have a flash animation I'm working on for a Web site and the java-based menu that's above it uses drop-down menus. Well, when the drop-down menus and the flash animation overlap, all you can see is the flash. The menu is behind it. This only happens on a PC-based browser. It is fine on a Mac. Any thoughts here? Any settings I'm missing here? The file is built in Flash CS4 using ActionScript 3.0. Here's the URL for the site (problem on home page when "Resources" menu drops down):

View 6 RepliesFirst, I am an ultra newb who has read about 50 tutorials in the past two weeks or so.So, here is what I am trying to do. I have a header navigation box in my flash page. I want, when someone opens the page, for an animation to play. Then, I want it to stop and display my menu.
What I have done: I created two frames and put my animation in one inside the movie clip. The second frame has the menu. When I try to test it, The frames flicker and the animation doesnt play.I tried putting stop() at the end of both frames. This just made it...not do anything and just display the menu.
A friend suggested putting "root.gotoAndStop(2);" at the last frame of my animation, but then I get an error.
I created a dropdown menu by using a mask over animation. When you rollover the correct button a mask lowers down showing the dropdown buttons. then you can roll over each one showing a small tint animation. I wrote a script on that layer telling it to gotoAndPlay(21) when you click any one of the buttons. however whenever I click on one of the dropdown menu Items nothing happens. Is this because of the stop action I have at that frame?? and if so How do I get around that.
View 2 RepliesI have a couple flash animations I made for some websites, not too complicated mostly timeline animation and I am getting the same problem when I embed them into the html.

View 7 Repliesi have my Main.swf which loads external .swf inside the main window, depending on the menu chosen (so for example button one loads 1.swf, button 2 loads 2.swf, and so on). i am sure you know this type of flash page option.
i have animations running on the "children" .swf!
problem is:
when i press on the menu button (depending how long i wait) the animation on the child swf is already come to an end. if i press menu button 1 after 5 second of the main window open, it loads 1.swf already 10 seconds in. (loading time takes a few moments)..... if i press button 1 after 25 seconds, 1.swf is already stopped playing!
