ActionScript 3.0 :: Pan Buttons Are Not Working But Zoom And Reset Buttons Works
Aug 12, 2009im working on a zoom/pan gallery and i have a problem that i can't solve.URL...the pan buttons are not working but the zoom and reset buttons works. im working on movie the image using the mouse now, if you will hold the image and move it it will drag it on stage.the image is a loader the loads and image and placed on screen.there is a mask on top of it and a frame that indicates the size of the gallery.when the user pan the image loader content i want it to stop as soon as it gets to the gallery frame,but i cant seem to find the best way to do it.so basicly when the image is in 100% i dont want the user to be able to drag it but after you zoom the user will be able to drag it but only to the edge of the frame so there wont be any white spaces.i tried a lot of different ways to do it but all of them are complicated and not working the way that i want them to work.

Jun 30, 2009I'm looking to make my MC's (acting as buttons) more sticky.What I mean by 'sticky' is to enable Rollover effect to hold if the user tries to click on the link within what is revealed onRollover (in my example it's 'sub-inline text link')Currently. The hit area of the MC's do not allow me to mouse over those links within. I can't simply enlarge the hit areas of the MCs because they will ultimately be tightly spaced from one another.

View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Re-setInterval Each Time Function Works?
Mar 19, 2012I have a function that draws a rectangle on the screen (see createInfoPanel())While drawing rectangle, I am adding 2 text fields on it.But as you may guess, it is adding those immediately. I want to delay adding these text fields, then I want to remove these panels after a while. The problem is, when I set an interval or timer, they won't work after I using once (I had to stop them by clearing/removing, it didn't set them again).Since my panel is being created each time image changes, I need them to work every time image changes.
So, I have 2 questions:1- How can I re-set interval each time my createInfoPanel() function works? It won't work anymore after setting and claring once. 2- You can see infoPanel.addChild(titleField); line in addInfoPanel() function. How can I work a smooth animation here? I mean, text appears slowly?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloader For External Jpg Only Works 90% Of Time?
Sep 7, 2005Here's the code I'm using to call the preloader and call the movie. I got this basic code (now modified for this example) from a nice person on this forum. I put it into different frames that a user's click would activate - and therefore download the jpg into that frame.That works after the user clicks into each frame. BUT ON THE FIRST FRAME, it doesn't work. The code just like this below DOES download the movie, but doesn't launch the preloader.
stop();
_level0.containerMC.loadMovie("HTTP://www.yoururlhere.com/yourimage.jpg");

ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Tween Doesn't Work First Time, Works After That?
Jul 22, 2009I have a box ("bg_box") that I resize and move up and down using the tween class based on what button you select. Once it is resized the text ("textBox") for that box fades on. It works fine on all the other buttons except for one! I added in a scrollpane with a strip of photos ("gross_scroll") on the button that doesn't seem to want to work. It is just a basic _alpha tween so I am not sure why that would cause a problem.
The weirdest thing is that it only has an issue the first time the button is clicked. It skips the tween and just jumps right to the size and position it should be. Once you click on another button and click on the troublemaker again, it works just fine.
Here is my code:
Code:
easeType = mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut;
var box_start = bg_box._yscale;
var box_end = 100;

Actionscript 3 :: CreationComplete Only Works When The Screen Is Visited For The First Time?
Jan 27, 2011I know the event "show" works for View stack i.e. I can use this event (capture it and do some processing) to know whenever my view stack child gets displayed in screen. But when I am trying to use the same event for a child of a state it doesn't work (i.e. breakpoint set at its event handler never gets hit). Similary, creationComplete only works when the screen is visited for the first time.

Flex :: Getting .length Of Custom Component Id Within A Repeater Works Sometimes But Not All The Time?
Jun 7, 2011I have a repeater that populates a component, called 'project'. The project components are given an ID of 'wholeProject'. In all of my functions up until now, I was able to determine how many project components were made by doing the following:
wholeProject.length;
I used this in for loops, for each loops, and for changing the item settings within a project, i.e. something like this:
wholeProject[i].studentName = "Billy Bob";
However, I'm creating a new function that does not seem to like this wholeProject.length reference. I'm using it within the same level as all the others (i.e. the parent level). So far, my function is simply this:
public function getStudentYears():void
{
Alert.show(String(wholeProject.length));
}
when the application loads, the alert message simply does not appear. If I change the alert to something like this:
Alert.show("This is just a test.");
it works just fine. But for some reason, the wholeProject.length doesn't work in this function whereas it does in all my other ones.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Color Transform Class Only Works On One Object At A Time?
Jul 14, 2009I wrote earlier about this InterpolateColor class that I have just written... now I am wondering about why I seem to only be able to use it on one object at a time and not on two objects at the same time.I want to use it to increase the brightness on my background image, while at the same time decrease the brightness on my navigation link text. It works on either one if done alone but when they are done at the same time, only one executes.
My InterpolateColor class:
ActionScript Code:
package com.bee.utils
{
import fl.motion.Color;

The code in my controller class:
ActionScript Code:
InterpolateColor.tweenBrightness( background, .8 );

XML Scrolling Thumbnail, Image Loader, & Buttons [halfway Works]?
Jul 2, 2009Intro:I started a flash-based website a few years ago. Back in 2006 I was able to get a xml scrolling thumbnail, image loader to work without a glitch.For numerous reasons I had to put the project on hold until now. [one was that my 30 day trial of flash expired and only recently was I able to purchase the Adobe Web Suite CS4 as well as a new computer which could run the apps.]
Last Friday saw a bump in the road in the development of my site as two, rather straightforward task, turned into something short of a nightmare as I have been unable to get past these two, seemingly, relatively simple task.I have posted in 4 other flash forums the issues, in detail, that I am facing - and have quite a bit of interest/views in the topic as the numbers suggest - yet no response/answer as of yet. [Which confirms other messages I have seen which seem to state that working with buttons has become increasingly difficult with the newer version of flash - something Im a bit surprised with actually from Adobe. - I would have thought there would be a palette where you could set parameters...]
Screenshot of Site/Timeline: Before getting into the two questions I have, I would like to post an image of the site as it looks whenever an swf file is saved out, as well as a piece of the timeline in the back for reference.As of now when the swf file is saved out you get exactly what you see above:
a: A scrolling thumbnail
b: ...which loads a large image when clicked on it - PEFECT...
BUT...1a: I need for the buttons to load in this action, not for it to just load on its own.[i.e., the silk_paintings gallery is what is open, so I need the "silk_paintings" button to call up this action]
note: Initially I had attacked this problem by taking out the actions layer you see above and applying it directly to the individual buttons with some crude MouseEvent Listener/Handerls... that did not work - at all.Im sure it may be "easier" to make an array out of it, but with my coding level it may be "easier" to apply it to the buttons.
1b: How I currently see it, I would take the xml-list and duplicate it for the number of galleries I have.[I would then re-name the xml-list to reflect the name of the galleries they are to represent, i.e. "silk_paintings"][also, I would have to rename the folders to "thumbnails1,2,3, etc., & "images 1,2,3, etc"
From there I would duplicate the actions and paste it into the buttons, changing the xml-list name to that of "silk_paintings", etc., as well as write in the MouseEvent listener Handler to make it work. [ah, ha, but what is that magic phrase, I have tried to implement various code from other tutorials, and all in vein.]
At this point I would be tickled pink just to get this to basic function to work.However, once the buttons are working and calling up the xml, etc., then I need the buttons to stay on the semi-transparent blue color it is whenever in the 'hit' state. [note: NOT pictured above.]With the way the buttons are currently set up, and with wanting to use scripting to get them to interact with the thumbnail gallery, it will have to be some miraculous code to tell that button what color to stay as whenever its clicked, and of course it going back to white when another button is clicked.
Conclusion:Since this is an Adobe Forum I would like to make a few additional statements in hopes that the developers, etc. may take heed.Adobes products are not cheap, and when I went to purchase the websuite I went in as a designer needing a program as not to need to program.I understand the flexibility that coding gives, but something as simple as linking buttons should not be in the realms of rocket science.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Magnify Glass Works But Rollover Buttons Dont Move When Hover Over

Jquery :: Need To Dynamically-generate A "sticky Note" Text
Apr 14, 2010Working on a website that has an image of a sticky note which will change text somewhat frequently (every month or so) as new "todo" items are created on it. Font I'm currently using is not Web Safe and the text is slightly angled to match the skew of the sticky note as well. Now I'm a pragmatist, and in situations like this I would normally cede defeat and opt for something more CSS/HTML practical. But no more! I'm falling a bit behind on what's going on with HTML5, CSS3, PNG graphics, Flash (ugh), and/or any other rich visuals. I'm decent with PHP/CSS/JS (jquery), have dabbled in Flash/actionscript too. My question is: what tools/method should I be looking at here? EDIT: I've switched to Comic Sans MS/Cursive -- pragmatism is fighting back furiously.
View 4 RepliesMake An Interactive Flash Application That Works By Detecting Mouse Overs And Clicks On Various Buttons/movie Clips?
Oct 10, 2009I am trying to make an interactive flash application that works by detecting mouse overs and clicks on various buttons/movie clips and then moves to the appropriate part of the time line. But I am having an issue when I use more than one addEventListener in any one frame. I have attached the code for one such frame below. When I comment out the addEventListner and the other code relating to the followBall function this works fine and directs the user to frame Inlet_Valve_Open_Frame but now only the followBall function is working and when i try to click on the Inlet_Valve_Button movie clip nothing happens.
I have never read all the help files on the adobe flash CS3 as i don't have time and i have built this code up based on examples i have found online. I wanted to include my fla file but it's to big 6Mb. But i have attached the swf so you have an idea what i am doing.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Create A "sticky Effect"?
Oct 19, 2004I have an mc called "square", which is a square. It is placed in a grid, and follows the movement of the mouse. However, it stays in that square of the grid until the _x or _y of the mouse is half or more than halfway into the next grid square, so there's sort of a "sticky" effect.

Professional :: Buttons Only Work The First Time
Feb 22, 2011I have set up my buttons so that are each a movieclip with 'over' and 'out' states/frame labels. They exist on the main timeline. The actionscript controlling them is situated in a frame on the main timeline and the frame holding that actionscript is on the same point within the main timeline where the buttons are introduced. I am using actionscript 3.
The buttons have been set up so that they navigate to another frame on the same main timeline and on that frame is a movie. The movie dimensions are smaller than the main stage so the buttons are still accessible when each movie is played. The problem is my buttons are only working once - by that I mean they go to the correct place when clicked the first time, but when they are clicked again they navigate elsewhere. Here's the code I used for the buttons...
