[CS3] [AS2] 3D XML Carousel Using GotoAndLearn Tutorial

Question About Carousel Tutorial On GotoAndLearn
there is a three part series tutorial on building a sleek carousel withdrawing icons from xml file (Creating 3D Carousels III - http://www.gotoandlearn.com/download.php )

If you are familiar with this, the tutorial only covers showing text information along with the picture icon. What would be very cool is to have is show a movie clip when you clicked on an icon. Then is would be a full flash site, and a really cool one.

Here I am attaching the full action script that I got from the tutorial, so if you have an idea how to show a movie clip on clicking an icon, it would be great. I am a newbie to actionscript, so any help would be appreciated.


Code:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

var numOfItems:Number;
var radiusX:Number = 300;
var radiusY:Number = 60;
var centerX:Number = Stage.width/2;
var centerY:Number = Stage.height/2;
var speed:Number = 0.05;
var perspective:Number = 130;
var home:MovieClip = this;
theText._alpha = 0;


var tooltip:MovieClip = this.attachMovie("tooltip","tooltip",10000);
tooltip._alpha = 0;

var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;

xml.onLoad = function()
{
var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
numOfItems = nodes.length;
for (var i=0; i<numOfItems;i++)
{
var t = home.attachMovie("item","item"+i,i+1);
t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/numOfItems);
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
t.toolText = nodes[i].attributes.tooltip;
t.content = nodes[i].attributes.content;
t.icon.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
t.ref.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
t.icon.onRollOver = over;
t.icon.onRollOut = out;
t.icon.onRelease = released;
}
}


function over()
{
home.tooltip.tipText.text = this._parent.toolText;
home.tooltip._x = this._parent._x;
home.tooltip._y = this._parent._y - this._parent._height/2.5;
home.tooltip.onEnterFrame = Delegate.create(this,moveTip);
home.tooltip._alpha = 100;
}

Gotoandlearn Carousel / Limit Reaction Area
hello
i'm tweaking the well known carousel from gotoandlearn v3 flash 8/as2 as a navigation.loading external mc's onto stage.
i searched the forum but couldn't find a post on my problem:

is there a way to restrict the carousel movement e.g. when the cursor moves a certain distance away from the carousel ?
it's slightly disturbing when you load something onto stage and the carousel keeps moving

thx for reading

fla attached ( flash 8 )

Gotoandlearn Basics Of Papervision3D Tutorial
Hi,

I apologize in advanced if this is in the wrong forum or if this has already been posted. I tried searching but couldn't find anything relevant to my problem.

I'm trying to complete the Basics of Papervision3D tutorial here and I'm running into a compiling problem. I'm fairly new to Flash so I'm not sure if this is just a really stupid error that I'm overlooking or not.

The error is :

InteractiveSceneManager.as, Line 38 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: XrayLog.

I'm pretty sure I've set up my class path right, being C:usersmeDesktopActionscript. Within there is com, livePreview, et al.

Here's my actionscript code just in case.

Code:

import org.papervision3d.cameras.*;
import org.papervision3d.objects.*;
import org.papervision3d.materials.*;

var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
container.x = stage.stageWidth * 0.5;
container.y = stage.stageHeight * 0.5;
addChild(container);

var scene:Scene3D = new Scene3D(container);
var camera:Camera3D = new Camera3D();
camera.zoom = 5;

var bam:BitmapAssetMaterial = new BitmapAssetMaterial("FlashIcon");
bam.oneSide = false;
bam.smooth = true;

for(var i:uint=0; i<50; i++)
{
   var p:Plane = new Plane(bam, 90, 90, 2, 2);
   scene.addChild(p);
   p.x = Math.random() * 1000 - 500;
   p.y = Math.random() * 1000 - 500;
   p.z = Math.random() * 1000 - 500;
   p.rotationY = Math.random() * 360;
}

scene.renderCamera(camera);


Any help would be greatly appreciated

GotoAndLearn Preloader Tutorial Question
Can anyone help me fingure out something that's probablly really easy to explain? I did Lee's preloader tut. and the only change I made was instead of the grey bar moving it's width along with the bytes loaded I created a mask over some text...making the mask move to it's maximum width (so it appears that the text is slowly changing color from right to left).

When I take the mask off and just move the regular box it works! Can I not apply the code provided in the tutorial to a mask? Thanks![/i]

Mp3 Player Questions (based On GotoAndLearn Tutorial)
Good-day men,

first of all, compliments for your tutorials.. they are great!

I have some "stupid" questions, if you wanna help me:

- how can I start the player from the position "pause" (so without playing a song when I open the flash) (and so with the button in position "play")

- I would like to add the button "previous track".. what code I need to create into the "mp3player.as"? (I think the button is the same of next but with "negative image" and with different names..)

- for a button like "stop" what I have to do? (a button with a simple action like: stop(); or stopAllSounds(); ?) (I've tried but without success...)

thanks to peolple will help me!

Custom Video Player By GotoAndLearn Tutorial - Problems
Hey guys,

first: sorry for my bad english knowledge, hope you are able to understand me

Okay, i did the Video Basic Tutorials and the XML Playlist, because this was a chance to insert more than one videos. Altouhgh, i customized the skin of the Videoplayer.

When i'm finished, the videoplayer shoud look like this:


Okay, so i took the functions shown in the tutorial. So i've got an XML-Playlist, play/pause button, replay button, mute button.

But as you see in the screenshot there should be some more

First of all i want to stop the "Autoplay-system" and "Autoreplay-System". I want to show the preview-picture and if i klick on "play" i want the TV to start. If one video is finished, there should be the "screenshot" again.

Screenshots -> Because i want to use the player with a lot of movies, i want to write down screenshots next to the videourl (XML Datei), something like this
Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<videos>
<video url="videos/rundengewinner08.flv" desc="Giga Homepage Award Runde 8" thumb="preview.jpg" />
</videos>

Than there are some "Arrowkeys" like this », so i want to switch between the screenshots to choose your video. Because i want this as "navigation", i don't need the Playlist next to the player (if i delete the layer i cannot use the player anymore).

Third: I would love the "minutes"-display (shown on the screenshot).

As faar as good... my problem is: I've got no knowledge about Flash/Actionscripts, so please explain "step by step". If there is someone who says "thats easy" i would give him the files (if it is easilier)

You can download the files from the tutorial at this link

I just eddited the Layout, nothing by the code


Thanks,

mr92

Hi,

I've been trying to find / figure out how to make an AS3 carousel, but all I can find are snippets of code, files that don't work or files with classes that I can't figure out. Does anyone know of a AS3 tutorial that will show me how to build a carousel, like lee's from scratch?

AS3 Carousel Tutorial Help
Hi,

I have been doing the carousel tutorial, but have been trying to convert it to AS3.

I have gotten stuck and am hoping someone can help me out.

The problem is I'm trying to place four instances of the clip "item" onto the carousel, four of them are there but they are all in the same position.

you can see the swf and source fla here:
http://www.thelightdivided.co.uk/flash/index.html
http://www.thelightdivided.co.uk/flash/carousel.fla

The code I have so far is:

Code:

var numOfItems:Number = 4;
var radiusX:Number = 200;
var radiusY:Number = 50;
var centerX:Number = this.stage.stageWidth / 2;
var centerY:Number = this.stage.stageHeight / 2;
var speed:Number = 0.02;

var t:item;

// attach icons to the stage
for (var i = 0; i < numOfItems; i++) {
t = new item();
t.name = "item_"+i;

// place each item equally around the circle
t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2) / numOfItems);
t.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, mover);

// add to stage
addChild(t);
}

function mover(evt:Event):void {
this.x = Math.cos(evt.target.angle) * radiusX + centerX;
this.y = Math.sin(evt.target.angle) * radiusY + centerY;
var s:Number = this.y / (centerY + radiusY);
this.scaleY = this.scaleX = s;
evt.target.angle += this.speed;
trace(evt.target.name);
trace(this.x);
}
Code:

[code][/code]

Many thanks

Carousel Help? (but Not With The Tutorial)
btw.. i just saw the "Stop asking for carousel help" i will do further searchs to confirm that this problem has not been addressed, sorry! Forum Search seems to be bugged.

i am creating a Carousel effect (found on http://www.gotoandlearn.com), but am not implementing any mouse interaction with it, it is a straight forward rotating loop. i need help in two areas.

Code:
Code:

var numOfBalls:Number = 3;
var radiusX:Number = 375;
var radiusY:Number = 100;
var centerX:Number = 400;
var centerY:Number = 400;
var speed:Number = 0.005;

for(var i=0;i<numOfBalls;i++)
{
   var t = this.attachMovie("ball_3","b"+i,i+1);
   t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/numOfBalls);
   t.onEnterFrame = mover;
}

function mover()
{
   this._x = Math.cos(this.angle) * radiusX + centerX;
   this._y = Math.sin(this.angle) * radiusY + centerY;
   var s = this._y /(centerY+radiusY);
   this._xscale = this._yscale = s*100;
   this.angle += this._parent.speed;
   this.swapDepths(Math.round(this._xscale) + 100);
}



Q1: How would i go about inserting 3 DIFFERENT library objects (ie ball_1, ball_2, ball_3)? (i do not want to use external or dynamic array/objects) answered see below

Q2: Is it possble to make the objects pause at the front for a short period of time and then continue on?

thanks for ANY help i can get on this. i am not a pro-actionscripter by any definition of the word, but i AM learning.

i can attach a sample file if you like.

Anyone Know Any Image Carousel Tutorial?
Hi,

I'm looking for an image carousel (rotating like those found in carnival rides) done in Flash5. Preferably horizontally rotating and customizable...

Anyone seen one lately? Somewhat looks like this except this one is done with java applets and is more like a ferris wheel rather than a carousel.


Thanks!

Carousel 2 Tutorial Issue.
Hello everyone and Merry Christmas!(Yeah I know, I'm late)

Well. In order to train and familiarize myself to flash (Macromedia flash professionnal 8 version), I decided to follow and put in application the Carousel 2 tutorial.

Everything worked fine since my last carousel swf build. My main problem is that the text is not displayed in the tooltip box. And I don't know why. My code seems to be nearly the exact copy of the one's which is given in the tutorial, but the tooltip box remains empty. A notice: When I put the text to "static", it is shown, not the case when I check "dynamic". Here is my actionscript code:

Code:

import mx.utils.Delegate;

var numOfItems:Number;
var radiusX:Number = 280;
var radiusY:Number = 75;
var centerX:Number = Stage.width/2;
var centerY:Number = Stage.height/2;
var speed:Number = 0.05;
var perspective:Number = 100;
var home:MovieClip = this;


var tooltip:MovieClip = this.attachMovie("tooltip","tooltip",10000);
tooltip._alpha = 0;

var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.load("icons.xml");

xml.onLoad = function()
{
  var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
  numOfItems = nodes.length;
  for(var i=0;i<numOfItems;i++)
   {
     var t = home.attachMovie("item","item"+i,i+1);
     t.angle= i* ((Math.PI*2)/numOfItems);
     t.onEnterFrame = mover;
    t.toolText = nodes[i].attributes.tooltip;
    t.icon.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
    t.ref.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
    t.icon.onRollOver = over;
    t.icon.onRollOut = out;
   }
}

function over()
{
   home.tooltip.tipText.text = this._parent.toolText;
   home.tooltip._x = this._parent._x;
   home.tooltip._y = this._parent._y - this._parent._height/2;
   home.tooltip.onEnterFrame = Delegate.create(this,moveTip);
   home.tooltip._alpha = 100;
}

function out()
{
   delete home.tooltip.onEnterFrame;
   home.tooltip._alpha = 0;
}

function moveTip()
{
   home.tooltip._x= this._parent._x;
   home.tooltip._y= this._parent._y - this._parent._height/2;
}

function mover()
{
   this._x = Math.cos(this.angle)* radiusX + centerX;
   this._y = Math.sin(this.angle)* radiusY + centerY;
   var s:Number = (this._y - perspective) / (centerY+radiusY - perspective);
   this._xscale = this._yscale = s * 100;
   this.angle += this._parent.speed;
   this.swapDepths(Math.round(this._xscale) + 100);
}

this.onMouseMove = function()
{
   speed = (this._xmouse-centerX)/2500;
}


Here is my xml code:

Code:

<icons>

<icon image="earth.png"   tooltip="Reseau" />
<icon image="add.png"     tooltip="Ajouter" />
<icon image="del.png"     tooltip="Supprimer" />
<icon image="members.png" tooltip="Membres" />
<icon image="seek.png"    tooltip="Rechercher" />
<icon image="help.png"    tooltip="Aide" />
<icon image="email.png"   tooltip="Email" />
<icon image="home.png"    tooltip="Accueil" />

</icons>


Can someone help me find the "bug" please? Thanks in advance and sorry if the problem have already been posed (I made a search but find nothing related to my issue...).

Edit: I searched more and I downloaded the carousel2 version of the tutorial. Seems that the issue was bound to my tooltip movie clip. The way I made it was obviously wrong. I need to train myself more. Sorry to have bothered.

P.S: M.Lee, Thank you very much for your effort. I know this is not so simple to make such tutorials. Hope there were more people like you on the net.

Converting Carousel Tutorial From 2 To 3.0. Help?
Hello,
I am trying to convert the great carousel tutorial on this site (carousel 1:simple found here http://www.gotoandlearn.com/player.php?id=32) from ActionScript 2 to ActionScript 3.0 using classes.

I am at the end of converting the first tutorial from as2 to classes in as3 and I am having one small problem with the individual items not seeing the angle.

Any help in advance would be appreciated, as I am somewhat new to as3.

Oval.as creates a ball and rotates it in an oval.
Ball.as is the ball class.

Ball code:
Code:

package {
   import flash.display.Sprite;
   
   public class Ball extends Sprite {
      private var radius:Number;
      private var color:uint;
      
      public function Ball(radius:Number = 40, color:uint=0xff0099) {
         this.radius = radius;
         this.color = color;
         init();
      }
      public function init():void {
         graphics.beginFill(color);
         graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, radius);
         graphics.endFill();
      }
   }
}

Oval code:
Code:

package {
   import flash.display.Sprite;
   import flash.events.Event;
   
   public class Oval extends Sprite {
      private var ball:Ball;
      private var carousel:Sprite;
      private var numOfItems:Number = 5;
      private var angle:Number = 0;
      private var centerX:Number = 200;
      private var centerY:Number = 200;
      private var radiusX:Number = 200;
      private var radiusY:Number = 100
      private var speed:Number = .1
      
      public function Oval () {
         init();
      }
      private function init():void {
         carousel = new Sprite;
         for (var i:Number = 0; i < numOfItems; i++) {
         ball = new Ball(40, 0xff6600);
         //addChild(ball);
         carousel.addChild(ball);
         //ball.name = (String("ball") + i);
         var angle:Number = i * ((Math.PI * 2) / numOfItems);
         addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onLoop);
         }
         addChild(carousel);
         
         
      }
      
      public function onLoop(e:Event):void {
         e.currentTarget.x = centerX + Math.sin(angle) * radiusX;
         e.currentTarget.y = centerY + Math.cos(angle) * radiusY;
         e.currentTarget.angle += speed;
      }
   }
}

If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!

how would I expand the Carousel tutorial to include a link, underneath each descriptive dynamic text box, to take the user to another page/site.

Button In Carousel Tutorial?
I have used the tutorials to create the carousel. This works great. There is only one thing that I really would like to accomplish but haven't been able to yet:

What happens now is that when you click on an item it moves to your left, and a text box becomes visible (as in the tut.). What I would like is to be able to click on a button there and go to a detailed php or html page on that subject.

So there must be a button, like 'more info' wich has an getUrl action, and that url will also be loaded in thru the xml.
It shouldn't be too hard, but i don't know how.....

any tips?

Carousel Tutorial 1 Question
First off, I must give props for the site; it is wonderful. It's really cool to learn how to do all these neat things with flash! Now, on to my question!

I was following the first carousel tutorial and came to a snag when it was time to start swapping depths. I am using ActionScript 3 and the swapDepths method has been removed. I know there is a swapChildren method now, but it only accepts display objects to swap around, not a specific target depth! I was wondering if anyone could show me a good way to keep the depths properly sorted using ActionScript 3.

I suppose one way would be to loop through all the items on stage and just compare scales and each time I find a new largest, swap it to the top (kind of like a bubble sort), but is there a better way to do it?

Update: well, i used the bubble sort technique and it seems to work pretty well, I just added another enter frame listener (this one to the mainTimeLine object (this)).

Code:

this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, sortItems);

function sortItems(evt:Event):void
{
   for( var i:int = 0; i < numOfItems - 1; i++)
   {
      for(var j:int = 1; j < numOfItems; j++)
      {
         var temp1:DisplayObject = this.getChildAt(j);
         var temp2:DisplayObject = this.getChildAt(j-1);
         if( temp1.scaleX < temp2.scaleX )
         {
            this.swapChildren(temp1, temp2);
         }
      }
   }
}

Adding another enter frame listener may not be the most efficient way of doing this, so I'm still open to any suggestions.

Carousel Tutorial Question
Hello all...

I have used the brilliant 'Carousel' tutorial to create a menu on frame 1 of my movie.

I have adapted it (as suggested on this forum) so that the carousel is populated by an array of 4 movie clips.

Code:

var items:Array = new Array();
items[0] = "option1_mc";
items[1] = "option2_mc";
items[2] = "option3_mc";
items[3] = "option4_mc";

The menu works perfectly and clicking on a different option takes you to a particular frame of my movie.

However, when the viewer returns to the main menu (frame 1) for a second time the carousel starts doing funny things and does not work properly.

Anyone know why? I was guessing that everytime the movie returns to frame 1, the movie clips in the carousel are given a slightly different name - but I'm just a beginner and could be completely wrong.

Here is the complete code on frame 1:

Code:

var items:Array = new Array();
items[0] = "option1_mc";
items[1] = "option2_mc";
items[2] = "option3_mc";
items[3] = "option4_mc";

var radiusX:Number = 250;
var radiusY:Number = 75;
var centerX:Number = Stage.width / 2;
var centerY:Number = Stage.height / 2;
var speed:Number = 0.05;

for (var i:Number = 0; i < items.length; i++)
{
    var t = this.attachMovie(items[i], "b"+i, i+1);

    t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/items.length);
    t.onEnterFrame = mover;
}

function mover()
{
   this._x = Math.cos(this.angle) * radiusX + centerX;
   this._y = Math.sin(this.angle) * radiusY + centerY;

   var s = this._y /(centerY+radiusY);

   this._xscale = this._yscale = s*100;
   this.angle += this._parent.speed;
   this.swapDepths(Math.round(this._xscale) + 100);
}

this.onMouseMove = function()
{
   speed = (this._xmouse-centerX)/1500;
}

Sorry for such a long question and thanks for any help you can give,

David

XML HYPERLINKS In The CAROUSEL 3 TUTORIAL
I want to be able to add a hyperlink to a website that would open in a new window as part of the "content". When you click on one of the icons that spins on the carousel, and you get the larger body of text, i want to be able to embed a hyperlink to a webpage, and if possible add some "bold" and "italic" text styles. Does anyone know how to do this. here is the original code cut a bit out for space:

Code:

<icons>

<icon image="icon1.png" tooltip="LimeWire" content="LimeWire is a peer-to-peer file sharing client for the Gnutella network." />

<icon image="icon2.png" tooltip="Rubik's Cube" content="Rubik's Cube is a mechanical puzzle invented in 1974 by the Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Erno Rubik." />

<icon image="icon3.png" tooltip="Widgets" content="A widget (or control) is an interface component that a computer user interacts with, such as a window or a text box." />

</icons>

Carousel Tutorial Question
I have the Carousel made up of 3D cubes made in a 3D program. There are 39 frames in the cube itself which reveal each side of the cube in the 39 frames. Now what I'm trying to do is when the Carousel spins it should play through those 39 frames showing each side depending on where it is on its y value. Just like how the scale does it with the s value.
I tried this line of code

Code:

   var s = this._y/(centerY+radiusY);
   this._xscale = this._yscale=s*100;
   var cubeSpin=Math.round(s*this._totalframes);
   trace(cubeSpin);


The problem is "s" does not go from 1 to 39 its numbers are high.
How can I get this to run through the 39 frames smoothly? Showing the correct side of the cube when it?s at the back or the front of the Carousel



Second question

In order for to get my Carousel to be on the correct plane I had to adjust my var radiusY:Number = 30; and my var centerY:Number = 400; numbers. now by doing this the s value now does not scale the cubes at the back. Here is the swf to see what is happening

VIEW SWF FILE

As you can see the back cubes are the same size as the front cubes.

Any help would be appreciated

Building A 3D Carousel Using A Tutorial As Base
I am building the 3D carousels in the gotoandLearn.com video tutorials, however at the moment I'm utterly stuck. The code is AS2:

Code:
var numOfItems:Number;
var radiusX:Number = 320;
var radiusY:Number = 90;
var centerX:Number = Stage.width/2;
var centerY:Number = Stage.height/3.2;
var speed:Number = 0.03;
var home:MovieClip = this;

var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;

xml.onLoad = function()
{
var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
numOfItems = nodes.length;
for(var i=0;i<numOfItems;i++)
{
var t = home.attachMovie("icon","icon"+i,i+1);
t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/numOfItems);
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
t.icon.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);

}
}

xml.load("icon.xml");

function mover()
{
this._x = Math.cos(this.angle) * radiusX + centerX;
this._y = Math.sin(this.angle) * radiusY + centerY;
var s:Number = this._y / (centerY+radiusY);
this._xscale = this._yscale = s * 100;
this.angle += this._parent.speed;
}

this.onMouseMove = function()
{
speed = (this._xmouse-centerX)/9500;
}
In tests, this works except for a problem - it sees the XML file, but does not load the actual .png graphics. The graphics are located in the same directory, and all the linkage properties are set correctly. I get four floating basic images in the carousel (there are four nodes)..nothing else, however.

Can't Find A Simple Image Rotator Tutorial (not Carousel)
Hi,

I need to make a simple movie that rotates through images/swfs, in order, and has a small navigation to select any of the images in the rotator. Probably will only contain 3 - 6 images/swfs at a time. I have come across many pre-made flash image rotators, but I need something a bit more open that I can customize to my liking. I'm not necessarily looking for ease of use or automated. I know enough AS that I understand it, I just need help writing it sometimes. Kinda like when you can read a language, but you're not fluent in writing it. Anyway, I'm not asking for someone to write AS for me, but if anyone has something already on hand that they don't mind sharing or if you know of a tutorial that may help, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Animating Dynamically Loaded Mcs/lee Brimlows Carousel Tutorial/calling The Pros
hiya,

i followed lee brimlows excellent carousel tutorial and i am wondering how to animate dynamically loaded mcs in that tutorial before the main animation, which is basically a carousel of dynamically loaded icons that rotate in a circle depending on where the mouse is, starts.

what i am aiming at is to have a sort of fountain-like animation before the main thing starts; in that way that the icons not just 'appear' on the stage, but are animated from 0, 0 to their position on the carousel.
i have the proper classes for the curved fountainlike animation (MCTween classes), but i don't know where to put the code in the actionscript, for i am not that good at actionscript to grasp what is going on.

i know that this:

Code:
xml.onLoad = function()
{
var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
numOfItems = nodes.length;
for(var i=0;i<numOfItems;i++)
{
var t = home.attachMovie("item","item"+i,i+1);
t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/numOfItems);
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
t.toolText = nodes[i].attributes.tooltip;
t.content = nodes[i].attributes.content;
t.icon.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
t.r.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
t.icon.onRollOver = over;
t.icon.onRollOut = out;
t.icon.onRelease = released;
}
}
is the part of the code where the icons are dynamically created and the functions are called, and i guess i have to squeeze this code (created by myself; probably wrong), which i think could be the correct one to achieve what i am looking for, into:


Code:

function fountain()
{
this.xposition = Math.cos(this.angle) * radiusX + centerX;
this.yposition = Math.sin(this.angle) * radiusY + centerY;
this.bezierSlideTo(0, 200, this.xposition, this.yposition, 1, "easeInOutQuint", 1, undefined, undefined, undefined);
}
the problem is i don't know where to put it in.

though i don't have a problem with the tween class, i thought i might give reference to it:
the bezierSlideTo is a MCTween class. the syntax is:
<MovieClip|TextField>.bezierSlideTo(control point x, control point y, x, y [, seconds, animation type, delay, callback, extra1, extra2]);
http://hosted.zeh.com.br/mctween/

i attached the original tutorial files from gotoandlearn.com. due to filesize limitations, i split the folder in three. just put everything in one folder and you'll be shiny.


this is the link to the video tutorial:
http://www.gotoandlearn.com


i am not letting you do the work; this is just a desperate call for help. i tried everything i know to get this idea to work, but due to my limited knowledge can't come up with the solution (which is probably pretty easy); and i decided to ask for help before pulling any more hair out...

the guys at the gotoandlearn forum couldn't help, by the way.

any help is greatly appreciated!
cheers,
dual

Photo Gallery Tutorial Turned Into Photo Carousel
i've taken the tutorial on this site on how to create an flash photo gallery that loads the content from an xml file. i'd like to alter the output of this fine tutorial and would appreciate any help in doing so.

i would like to create gallery, but instead of only showing one picture at a time, i would like to have a carousel effect where more than one picture is shown at a time, and the buttons control the turn of the carousel. i'm thinking in order to do this i'll need to have the as create a movie clip for each picture (maybe during the for loop). each mc instance would have to have a unique name, and then the buttons could play with the properties of each created mc instance.

here's the code from the tutorial on this. any help would be much appreciated....

function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;

description[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
}

Help On "creating 3d Carousel" Tutorial
Hey guys!

This site is awesome! I am no AS expert, so I am learning (or at least trying to learn) a lot!

I´ve got some problems regarding the "creating a 3d carousel" tutorial. I would like it to be vertical, and I´ve managed it to do so. However, when I´ve rotated it, the balls are upscalling when they are through the middle-right section of the orbit. I can´t make it upscale when they are on the middle-left section of the orbit...

can you guys give me a hand?

Here is the code so far.

Code:

var numOfBalls:Number = 10;
var radiusX:Number = 150;
var radiusY:Number = 250;
var centerX:Number = Stage.width / 4;
var centerY:Number = Stage.height / 2;
var speed:Number = 0.05;

for(var i=0;i<numOfBalls;i++)
{
   var t = this.attachMovie("ball","b"+i,i+1);
   t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/numOfBalls);
   t.onEnterFrame = mover;
}

function mover()
{
   this._x = Math.cos(this.angle) * radiusX + centerX;
   this._y = Math.sin(this.angle) * radiusY + centerY;
   var s = this._x /(centerX+radiusX);
   this._yscale = this._xscale = s*100;
   this.angle += this._parent.speed;
   this.swapDepths(Math.round(this._yscale) + 100);
}

this.onMouseMove = function()
{
   speed = (this._ymouse-centerY)/1500;
}


Thanks in advance!!!

Gotoandlearn Mp3 Player Not Functioning
I successfully built the mp3 player from the Gotoandlearn.com tutorials. It works perfectly in a .swf player and when it's compiled in Flash, but the moment I try to play it in a browser... it doesn't connect. The textfield says undefined.
Being unknowledgeable of Flash, I have no idea why it can't connect to the files when it's being viewed from a browser.

Any ideas? Need to see the files? http://clay.bellmor.com/testsite/player

Also! Opening the player.swf file in Safari and FF doesn't work, but opening the player folder and then clicking on the .swf (so it loads the .swf by itself) works properly...

I'm 'guessing' there's something wrong with the class setting, maybe it doesn't know where to look...

Any help would be great!

Gotoandlearn Files Problem
Hi

I have downloaded the files used for gotoandlearn at flash blog site.
It seems to be a older version

Have tried to get it to work, but it wont.

Have tried this:
1: have changed:
//x.load("videos.xml");
x.load("videos.xml?cachebuster=" + new Date().getTime());
to
x.load("videos.xml");
//x.load("videos.xml?cachebuster=" + new Date().getTime());

2: Have tried to put flv files in a folder called flv (like at this site)

3: Have tried to put files i a file folder

4: Have tried to add <?xml version="1.0" ?> to the xml file

Nothing have worked.

See the result here:
http://www.techshop.dk/stream/player.swf

It seems like it found out that there are 2 videos in XML file. But it cant show or play them

Please help me
