Flash :: Advice On Getting A Disc To Spin When Play Button Is Clicked

Spin Cd Disc
Hi im trying to recreate a cd rom spining and slowing down.

Ie: the cd starts static spins then slows down to static will maybe use a blur effect of image to show the content spining.

Is there a way to ease in ease out the motion using actionscript im trying to use robert penner script but not sure how to use these.

Math.easeInOutCirc = function (t, b, c, d) {
t /= d/2;
if (t < 1) return -c/2 * (Math.sqrt(1 - t*t) - 1) + b;
t -= 2;
return c/2 * (Math.sqrt(1 - t*t) + 1) + b;

};

Can this be used on a circle to get it to spin as explained

cheers

I'm not quite sure how to explain this. It's a pretty basic concept but I'm having trouble implementing it. Basically, I want the user to be able to click each of the (4) names to the left and have a biography pop up in the white square (called whiteboard)

How could I do this?

I've attached the file if its easier to explain that way. [URL, too big for here)

Actions? How To..Button Syntex To Open HTML From Local Disc When Publishing As EXE?
I'm making an FLA that I want to save as an Executable file and use as a menu system to load HTML and EXE files for use on a hard drive or CD.
I've created my buttons, but can't seem to figure out what I have to enter in the Actions to open my Locally saved HTML files.
I've tried something called "Get_URL" or something like that, but it insists on throwing "HTTP:" in front for the "Index.html" file name I've entered, and threrfore tried to connect online.
My desired target is "Index.html" which I plan to store in the same directory as my FLA file once it's published as an Executable. ie: C:MenuIndex.html and C:MenuFlashmenu.exe .
Any help would be greatly appreiciated.
Thanks in advance.

SWF Only Plays When 'play' Is Clicked, Not Auto...
Hi Guys,

I have constructed an intro movie sequence, just as a place holder and to do some test etc. that has a preloader that graphically displays the download progress percentage. The trouble is from the web server nothing actually plays until you click 'play' in the Flash controls. Previewed on my local machine things are somewhat different as it works every other time (but not the first) when I click 'simulate download' in bandwidth profiler.

Does anyone know why this might be happening?
I'd be very gratefull for your words of advice!

Making Movieclips Play/Pause When Clicked
Can anyone explain to me how I can make this work?

I don't have an example, because I'm not sure how I should approach it.

Basically, I want to have it so user can click on a movieclip and make it play. When they don't click, the movieclip would be a still frame.

It's a dumb question when I write it out, but I'm still not sure how to approach it.

Thanks in advance

Play Movie Clip Wherever Custom Cursor Clicked
I am just playing around with some demo stuff...
Thanks for your anticipated replies.

Within my overall flash movie, whenever there is a "mouseclick", I would like a movieclip to play where the mouse is clicked.

As an example I am using a custom cursor, and I have created a small fireball movieclip, and given it an instance name. Whenever and wherever the mouse is clicked, I would like the clip to play at that spot.

I hope this makes sense.

I am using flash MX.

Thanks,

[F8] Reset Pause/play Toggle When Replay Is Clicked?
I've got a pause/play toggle button for the whole movie, and also a replay button. When I've got the movie paused, and I click the replay button, then the pause/play toggle button is out of synch (says pause but the movie is now playing).

The pause/play toggle is in a two-frame mc setup.

How Do I Play A Movie Once A Link Is Clicked And Then Move To The Next Clip?
I'm still trying to figure out how to do navigation and what not in flash. I know how to load a particular scene and have everything move into place like I want it to, but what I want to do is when you click on a link (we'll say "print") I want it to do another animation and then go to the "print" scene in the file. Hopefully that made since. How would I do that? A very simple example of this would be: http://www.dvdsgn.com/index_flash.htm . Upon clicking on a link, the top picture fades out and then fades in the next page. The fading out part is what I'm trying to figure out.

Button States - How To Keep Button On Rollover State When Clicked.
on (rollOver) {
this.btn_about.gotoAndPlay("mouseover");
setProperty(this.btn_about, _x, 25);
setProperty(this.btn_about, _y, 29);
}
on (rollOut) {
this.btn_about.gotoAndPlay("mouseout");
}

on(release){
_parent.gotoAndStop("about");
}

There's my button code. Now a rundown on my delima.

I have a movie "company.swf" that is loaded into an empty MC "content" that is located within my main movie "main.swf". My buttons are all located inside an MC "subnav" inside of company.swf. I have seperate MC's for each button with an actual button with just a "hit" area. I would like each button to stay in the rollover state when clicked so a user knows where they are in each section. I hope I'm being clear here. My rollover and rollout works fine.

Please help!! Thanks

Text Field Over Button Prevents Button Being Clicked
I'm trying to create a custom button class that lets you specify some simple parameters, including the text that goes on the button. However, the text field blocks the button (because it's on top of the button), and so the even listener assigned to the button doesn't detect a CLICK event.

I've read about setting mouseChildren = true, but that works for other display objects and isn't an option for a TextField instance.

Can anybody tell me what I'm missing here. And also, is there a different way of going about having some sort of customizable button that might be better?

If it helps, here is my basic class. An instance of the class is instantiated with:

var btn:ButtonSimpleText = new ButtonSimpleText(120, 20, "Button Label");
addChild(btn);

CLASS BELOW

Attach Code

package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.text.*;

public class ButtonSimpleText extends Sprite {
public function ButtonSimpleText(w:Number, h:Number, labelText:String){
// Button
var button:SimpleButton = new SimpleButton();

var up:Shape = new Shape()
up.graphics.lineStyle(0,0xFFFFFF,1);
up.graphics.beginFill(0xCC0000);
up.graphics.drawRect(0,0,w,h);
up.graphics.endFill();

button.upState = up;
button.overState = up;
button.downState = up;
button.hitTestState = up;
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickListener);

// Text format
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.font = "Arial";
tf.size = 12;
tf.bold = true;
tf.align = TextFormatAlign.CENTER;
tf.color = 0xFFFFFF;

// Text label
var label_txt:TextField = new TextField();
label_txt.selectable = false;
label_txt.text = labelText;
label_txt.width = w;
label_txt.setTextFormat(tf);

var btnHolder:Sprite = new Sprite();

btnHolder.addChild(button);
btnHolder.addChild(label_txt);

addChild(btnHolder);
}

private function clickListener (e:MouseEvent):void{
trace ("Click");
}

}
}

Make Button GotoAndPlay When Another Button Is Clicked
ok. next dilemma.

once the button is pressed it stops on frame 16. there will be several other buttons. what i'd like to happen is that when another button is pressed the previous button that was pressed (which would currently be on 16) will gotoAndPlay frame 17 which animates it and makes it known to the user that they have already clicked it.

here is the code i have right now which all it currently does is make the frame stop on 16 when it is clicked. i'm not sure what the best way to go with the code on making it jump to frame 17 when another button is clicked. i've included the fla file for reference.

if i used something like:
if (button1._currentframe==16)
gotoAndPlay(17)
then i would have to create this code for every instanced button...which could be time consuming if there are around 30 buttons or so.....

stop();
this.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
this.onRollOut = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
this.onPress = function() {
delete this.onRollOver;
delete this.onRollOut;
this.gotoAndStop(16);
}

If Button Has Been Clicked...
I know there's something that can do this, but I just don't know what it's called... Here's what's going on:

I have music changing throughout the entire movie. It changes whenever it gets to the frame, and the frame actions tell it to change to a certain song. Now, this makes it a little difficult to have an on / off feature for the radio. Basically, when the user clicks the "off" button, I want some variable or something (I'm horrible with actionscrip terms) to be set to a certain number (let's just say 0 is off, 1 is on in this example). When the movie reaches the frame that starts the new music, I would like to make it have a choice. If the certain variable is set to 0, it doesn't start to play the music. If it's set to 1, it plays the music as normal. I also want the movie to start out with the variable set to 1.

Yes, I know, I need to work on my actionscript vocabulary... But does anybody understand what I'm trying to do? If not, let me know, I might be able to set up some sort of .fla example. Thanks for any help!

Button Has Been Clicked
If I could kick myself in the head I would.

I am trying to create buttons that will change their appearance after they've been clicked. Just like when you click an html link, that link has now changed color to indicate it has been clicked.

I've tried for weeks now and keep coming up against a brick wall.
Why is there no simple way to do this, a component, something?!

I've come close by making a MC that has 2 frames and two buttons, one click brings you to the next frame. If I place that MC on the stage it works. However when I place the same MC on the stage and attach code to it:
on(press)...
the buttons in the MC are no longer active?

Turning grey.
please help......

Want To Allow Button To Be Clicked Only Once.
I searched but couldn't find anything like this, so I thought I'd just ask. Apologizes if it's been explained before! Just so you know, I'm still using Flash 5 (sad, I know.)

This is probably a simple problem to solve- I have a few buttons for navigation, and when someone clicks on one of the buttons I don't want the button to be available to be clicked on again until you're back on the main menu. How is that done? Any help greatly appreciated!

Wich Button Was Clicked?
Hi!

I've made a small flash application where the user answers a couple of questions and the result is a graph. At first the user was supposed to answer the questions as fast as possible with no option to go back (and change the answer). The only way to make changes was to start from the beginning.

My problem now is that my boss have changed her mind and wants to have the possibility to go back and to be able to change the answers.

There's no problem to make the back-button and so on. The problem is the variables. When the user clicks the back-button and the application jumps back to the previous scene the state of the different buttons goes back to the default, unclicked state and the user cannot see what answer they have given. If they give the same answer once again the variable for that particular question is doubled. All buttons are movieclips and have different instance names. When a button is clicked the button-movieclip jumps to either a "clicked state" or a "unclicked state". The clicked state adds value to the variable and the unclicked state subtracts the same value.

I need to know wich button was clicked so I can use an array to "remember" the buttons state and the value of the variable so the user can change their mind and their canges are reflected in the variables ...

As there are 80 questions, I don't want to have 80 different
buttons. Now I got four different buttons for the four alternative answer possibilities.

So, how can I trace wich button that was clicked, and remember it.

Eh ... sorry 'bout the long question, but I wanted to make myself clear. ( I think I failed though ... ) If anybody understands what I'm asking and don't fall asleep while reading it, please help me.
Thanx

Disabling A Button After Being Clicked - How?
How do you disable a button after it is being clicked, and at the same time enable again the other buttons (so including the button that was disabled before?).

Can Button Do A Different Command After Being Clicked Once?
Can a button know if it's been clicked before, and if it has, do a different function the second and all subsequent clicks?

For example, the first time a button is clicked, I want the user to be taken to a specific frame where an intro MC sits. Lets call this frame 10 for discussion sake. If a user has already clicked the button once, visits somewhere else within the site and decides to come back, I don't want them to have to view the intro MC again, I want them to bypass it and go to frame 11.

Is this possible, if so how?

Thanks!

Button Only Works When Clicked Twice
I created a simple button which works fine in the .fla file. It has a "go to frame 2 and play" action. Whenever I export the file, the button does not work on the first click. It shows the down state fine, but you have to click twice to activate the action.

Please help.

Yes, I'm more or less a beginner.

Hide The Clicked Button
in Director, you can use 'Me' to call on the object that has been clicked, dragged, whatever...

is there a way to call on an object in flash in that same way?

for example, i'm wanting to have a button disappear once it is clicked. thing is, i have 25 buttons on the screen with different instance names.

i could go to every button and put in 'button01._visible = 0;' but there's gotta be another way.

something like...

Code:
on (release) {
me._visible = 0;
}

Advice On Getting A Disc To Spin When Play Button Is Clicked
