Flash :: A Very Nice Horizontal Nav Slider

Create A Nice Slider
How do you create a nice slider, I have a panel that slides from the bottom to the top of the screen at a defined height

Using the code below, it loads way to fast, what I am looking for is something that kinda slides real fast and near the end it slows down the exact spot such as easing on the time line. Maybe this can be tweened or I need to rewrite my while function..

Code:

var moveCounter:Number = 0;
var howFarMove:Number =40;

while (moveCounter < howFarMove)
{
trace("moving ?");
parent.parent.getChildByName("popup_tab").y = parent.parent.getChildByName("popup_tab").y -1;

moveCounter = moveCounter +1;

trace(moveCounter);
}

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Different Horizontal Slider
Hi,
i want to make a horizontal slider that looks like the i-phone sliders.
so it must be a draggable slider that is going in the direction that you 'slide' it (the 'normal' horizontal sliders move in the opposite mouse direction)

o, and if you release the drag i want it to have a nice de-acceleration.

i'm not that good in actionscript and i already tried to rebuild a normal slider but it wont work.

is there anybody who knows a good tutorial or has an example for this?
or is there anybody who can build this?

thanks

Horizontal Slider Menu
i have seen horizontal slider navigation menus on flash sites and would like to create on. I downloaded the sample from the flashkit main page but I am having a lot of trouble understanding it.

Any one have any tips for a newbie to actionscripting?

Horizontal Volume Slider
Hey, this is my first post on these boards. So hi everyone.

Here's my problem: I've been following this tutorial at http://www.actionscript.org/tutorial...er/index.shtml

But I want it to be for a 70x15 horizontal slider. I basically am wanting the entire slideable area to be the whole 70 pixels...or close. How would I go about modifying this tutorial for use with this slider?

Problem With Horizontal Slider
Hi Guys,

I am stuck... possibly been staring at the code for to long and should go grab some coffee but I just cant suss this out...

I downloaded a horizontal slider movie from this site and loved the look and how it worked, having problems customising it...

here is a link to the movie... http://www.scottbrown.co.nz/scroll2.html

My Problem: as you can see from the link above the section that you roll your mouse over to move the boxes left and right is still located at the top of the screen, i need to shift its axis so that it sits over the content at the bottom of the screen so when you mouse over the boxes you can move them left and right. i havent found anywhere in the action script that relocates the axis...

here is the script (also doesnt help that it isnt in english!) any help would be hugely appreciated!:

// Parametros
anchoPelicula = 620;
altoPelicula = 58;
acel = 10;
iniciado = true;
// Operaciones
fondo_mc._width=anchoPelicula;
fondo_mc._height=altoPelicula;
fondo_mc._x = 64;
fondo_mc._y = 400;
acel /= 50;
panoramica_mc._y = 400;
panoramica2_mc._y = 400;
mitad = anchoPelicula/2;
ancho = panoramica_mc._width;
panoramica_mc._x = 64;
panoramica2_mc._x = (64-ancho);

// Al pasar el mouse encima

fondo_mc.onRollOver = function() {
iniciado = false;
mover();
}

fondo_mc.onRollOut = function() {
//delete panoramica_mc.onEnterFrame;
}

// Funcion Mover
function mover() {
barraqueanda();
panoramica_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
//trace("grandao dando role em: "+ _root.panoramica_mc._x);

//

}
} else {

if (panoramica_mc._x>(-560) && _ymouse<90) {

}

}
}

Horizontal Picture Slider

Any suggestions?

Horizontal Slider Control
Hello Flash people, I was wondering if anyone has come across anything like this before. I have searched.....for about 2 hours but my eyes have glazed over

I want a horizontal scroller where when you drag the scroller over the bar, it displays a different movie clip.

E.g

If my bar is 100px wide, and I want to display 10 seperate movie clips depending on the sliders postion, I would divide the bar into 10 sections. So when the slider goes over one of the ten sections it will display a mc. Should I be using a hit test for this or anything else?
Does this make any sense lol?

Thank y'll

Problem With Horizontal Slider
I did a horizontal slider and saved it as a separate swf file. Then I embedded this file into another swf. The problem is that when I try to move the slider of the horizontal slider, it moves up instead of sideways and nothing happens, the pictures that I am trying to scroll remain static.

The horizontal slider alone worked... the problem arised when I embedded it.

The following is the code of the horizontal slider swf:

The Slider movie clip

ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent(load) {
setProperty(this, _y, int(_y));
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
a = new Object();
a.y = this._y;
a.x = this._x;
_root.path.globalToLocal(a);
b = int(a.x*2);
}

The button of the slider

ActionScript Code:
on (press) {
// the "x+300" means the slider will move
// 300 pixels down the path
startDrag(this, false, _root.path._x, _root.path._y, _root.path._x+300, _root.path._y);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
}

The path

ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent(load) {
setProperty(this, _x, _root.slider._x);
setProperty(this, _y, _root.slider._y);
}

The pictures to be scrolled (mc)

ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
_root.scrollMC._x = -1*(_root.slider.b);
}

Could someone help me please?

Horizontal Picture Slider
Hi everybody

I am looking for a horizontal slider script like this one here:

Best would be to find some free solution but I would take a template for reasonable price too.
If you have seen such a script, please post a link or a source code.

Thank you very much

Horizontal Slider Menu
I want to make a menu like this: http://www.actionscript.org/tutorial...NU/index.shtml

but this one uses old skool Flash 4 deprecated code.

I know I've seen a similar menu tutorial on the web that is more recent and works in the same way, but just can't remember where. And it wasn't the Kirupa "Infinite Menu" either. The infinite menu is different to the menu from ActionScript.org in that it uses as static movieClip whilst the ActionScript.org menu uses dynamically created movieClips through duplicateMovieClip.

Does anyone recall seeing a menu created in this way that was done with more recent ActionScript? Cheers.

Horizontal Volume Slider
I've got a simple vertical volume slider working, now I want to convert it to a horizontal one. The code on the button won't change.

Code:
on (press) {
startDrag ("", false, left, top, right, bottom);
dragging = true;
}
on (release, releaseOutside) {
stopDrag ();
dragging = false;
}
But this needs to change and I've tried swapping things around. The obvious things are that the _x property needs to change. I've tried changing the direction with + instead of minus. I can get it to work, but the volume is loudest on the left side of the slider and lowest on the right side. I need to reverse that situation.

Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
top = _y;
left = _x;
right = _x;
bottom = _y+100;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (dragging == true) {
_root.s.setVolume(100-(_y-top));
}
}
Any ideas?

Can We Do A Vertical AND Horizontal Drag Slider?
So I looked thru previous posts and didn't really find anything helpful.

I am wondering if there is a way to use the "startDrag" command and create a dynamic slider bar that moves on BOTH a vertical and horizontal axis line. Like a CROSS shape.
I tried using and "if" statement in conjunction with the "_xmouse" coordinates but that didn't work. I love flash but I kinda caveman it.

Is does anybody know how to solve this problem or has another way of getting around it?

Any help would be lovingly appreciated.

++e++

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

movieClip.onPress = function (){
this.startDrag (false,0,150,0,-150)
//
//>AND... (but totally won't work this simple i know...)
//
this.startDrag (false,-150,0,150,0)
}
movieClip.onRelease = function (){
this.stopDrag ();
}

Voetsjoeba Horizontal Volume Slider?
Does anyone know how to make a horizontal volume slider for the mp3 player?

Horizontal Xml Slider W/ Various Image Widths
Hi,

I'm new here and perhaps am posting a question that has been answered previously, but was unable to find. My apologies if so.

I'm designing a horizontal image slider. I want it to load from an xml and to recognize different widths in the images (all images will have the same height). I find plenty of ways to load from an xml, however the images must always conform to a predetermined set of dimensions. I really need the width to be variable (according to images) with a small gap between each image.

Any help with this?

Thanks,

Mark

Does anyone know how to make a horizontal volume slider for the mp3 player?

Horizontal Volume Slider Issues
I have tried several variations and nothing is working right.  Here is what I have right now.

The actual slider is in a movie clip called slidebarMC with an instance name of slideBar.  I added the code:
on (press) {
    startDrag("", false, left, top, right, bottom);
    dragging = true;
}

on (release, releaseOutside) {
    stopDrag();
    dragging = true;
}

I then created a new movie clip called sliderMC with no instance name, and placed a 100 pixel wide volume bar graphic and placed the slidebarMC movie clip in the middle of that.

I then placed that in my scene/movie clips and added the code to the sliderMC clip:
onClipEvent (load) {
    top = _x;
    bottom = top+100;
    left = _x;
    right = _x;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    if (dragging == true) {
        _root.soundObject.setVolume(100-(_x-top));
    }
}

I added a frame above it in the timeline and placed the action:
myMusic = new Sound();
_root.soundObject.attachSound("musicnote_01");
myMusic.start(0, 1);
myMusicVolume = 100;
myMusic.setVolume(myMusicVolume);

I have obviously screwed it up.  What do I need to change to make it work in a movie clip and a scene?  Thanks in advance!

Horizontal Menu Slider In AS3 (or Delay: How-to?)
I was searching the web for a tutorial to create an horizontal slider menu, like the one in http://www.lemlinh.com/flash-source-horizontal-slider. The question is I would like to build it using AS3 instead of AS2.

I think the problem is in finding an AS3 replacement for the "delay" command that exists in AS2.

Could anyone help me, please?

Trying To Find A Simple Horizontal Image Slider
hey everyone,
trying to find something similar to this http://www.blog.noponies.com/archives/110. Noponies is a great site, but when I started looking at the code, I got a bit scared...I'm not a AS3 guru . I don't need xml and fancy classes, etc. Thanks for your time.

Horizontal Slider Need Mouse/speed Stop Outside Stage Size?
Can anyone help me?

? How do I make this horizontal slider stop when the mouse is outside the stage area size (720 width)?

Currently it speeds up faster than a faster faster pussy cat when mouse is outside stage / swf. See what I mean:
http://www.imedialab.net

I need it to scroll but only when the mouse is in the stage width size range. Stage width = 720

I am an artist not a programmer (although I do try). Any help appreciated.

__________________code_________________

ActionScript Code:
_root.onEnterFrame = function () {

if (_xmouse < 300) slider._x += (360-_xmouse)*0.03;
if (_xmouse > 480) slider._x += (360-_xmouse)*0.03;

slider_r._x = slider._x+slider._width;
slider_l._x = slider._x-slider._width;

if (slider._x > 720+slider._width*0.5) {
slider._name = "temp";
slider_l._name = "slider";
temp._name = "slider_l";
}
if (slider._x < 0-slider._width*0.5){
slider._name = "temp";
slider_r._name = "slider";
temp._name = "slider_r";
}
}

Slider To Scroll Thumbnail Mc W/ Buttons Inside...onRollover Text Moves With Slider
I'm using a slider to scroll a movieclip made up of thumbnail images that are buttons. When I put my mouse over each button, I want it the image to change from black and white to color, and for a text description to appear in one fixed location on the main stage. Right now the image change to color is working, and the text appears as well, BUT the text scrolls as well, since it's within the scrolling movieclip. I want the text to appear static at a fixed location of: x=-947 and y=65. HELP!!!

It should look similar to: http://www.ehdd.com

Here's my code:

for my movieclip:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.scrollMC._x = -.295*(_root.slider.b);
}

for my slider (set to scroll along "path"):
on (press) {
startDrag(this, false, 4, 270, 802,270);
}
on (release, releaseOutside) {
stopDrag ();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
a = new Object();
a.y = this._y;
a.x = this._x;
_root.path.globalToLocal (a);
b = int(a.x*2);
}

Volume Slider -- How Do I Center Slider?
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/volume_slider.htm

Using the tutorial above, the volume slider always starts at the left end which is starting to become annoying because you always have to move it in order to listen.

How can I place it in the center? I've attempted just dragging it in the middle while editing, but the file ends up not working.

Anyone Nice Enough To Help?
Basically I have 6 Layers

RedButton
Blue Button
Green Button
OrangeButton
Text
Actions

Each of the buttons corresponds to a different word which I have nested inside the "Text" movieclip which when pressed SHOULD bring up the word with a little alpha from 0-100
Each word has an instance name to be referred to as well.

Here's my action script for the first button

this.RedButton.on(release){
_parent.Text.Hello.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

When it compiles it gives me an error of "Field name expected after "." operator. Anyone know what this is or how I can fix my code....see any other errors? What's the best way to approach this movie?

Thank you for all your help...you guys are awesome.

Nice And Simple Like Me...
Does anyone know if it is possible to return the frame rate of a movie using A/S?

Very Nice Menu
hi everybody

I would like to know where i can find a script like the menu in this site:
http://www.hugeinc.com/2001/huge_1000.html

Thank's

A Nice Easy One
This is for an actionscript fade in:

on (release) {
for (i = 0; i < 100; i ++) {
circle._alpha = circle._alpha + 1;
}
}

There is no delay on the fade. How do I create a nice steady fade? Do I need to use two frames? I though the point of the for loop was to do it in one.

Cheers
