Flash :: Anchor Nav Panel

Using Anchor Or Anchor Effect In A Scrollpane
Hi all,
I'm using the scrollpane to display text that I've formatted as FAQs. I now need to recreate the text so that the questions all appear at the top and the user can click on any question which will then link them to the appropriate place in the copy below. I also need the scrollbar to adjust up and down as the user links up and down using anchors.

Does anyone know how to do this in Flash MX?

any help would be appreciated.

Answer Panel Add-on Without Touching The System Of The Andser Panel Check It Out
Hi all!
I have created a add on for the Answer Panel!
This system is working like this:
I have made the menu and stuff, but when you select on the combo box "Answer", theres the code loadmovie and it laods the Answer Panel (like before)!

This add-on WILL NOT DAMAGE OR CREATE CHANGEMENTS on the system of the Answer panel
what's on the add-on:
music
game of the month (there currently bugs to fix)
later they will be more stuff!
(There are no update like the Answer panel)

Get it:
http://www.geocities.com/matrixplayer2000/do.html
(you must extract these files on the Answer panel folder of Flash MX (if you have Flash MX open, it will need a restart)
file discription:
ans.swf (Answer Panel)
Answer.swf (add-on)
an.exe (Because I can't make it to go back it will lunch this pop-up window)

NOTE: you can't run the ans.swf like this, but it must be in Flash MX Answer panel to see it. (I did NOT change it)
It's just working like this! and used to work like this!

GET the source code:
http://www.geocities.com/matrixplayer2000/do.html

===============================
Bug report and To-Do:
- Create game
- Make that it scale (like the answer panel)
- Fix for some the music speed (that is only me that can do that!(I just need to change the qulity higher and transform it into a .swf)
===============================
bye and enjoy!

Flex Controlling Items In Panel A From Panel B [Flex3/AS3]
Hi all,

Currently I am working on a project that seems a bit daunting to someone that's quite new to Flex 3 and the Flex Builder 3. I'm trying to create a Build Your Jacket app that will allow the user to create a "Letterman Jacket" with logos and text of their choice ( something a bit similar to Spreadshirt.com ).

At the moment I'm trying to work out how to have 2 Panels communicate with each other.

So say for example:
In Panel B I have a Text field where someone can type one line of text. When they type into the field, I'd like it to appear in Panel A and allow the user to manipulate that in Panel A.

If someone has an example of this in Flex 3 or AS3 form, then that would be great! But if not, then I'm really looking for some direction on things I can look up and focus on in order to accomplish this.

Thanks guys.

Panel Layout Question (panel Sets)
I have never been able to get the Library to stay part of my custom panel layout. I run dual monitors and all my other panels (actions, colors, ect...) are on the second monitor and open fine in their respective places, but not the Library. I have to always hit F11 to open it and then resize it, drives me crazy! **I don't want to 'dock' the windows because it puts them below each other and I don't need that. I want them next to each other and all half the size of my monitor. It makes for a very nice workspace with all the tools on 1 monitor and the entire stage and timeline on the other.
As far as I know there is no way to dock panels next to each other as opposed to vertically. Just something that has bothered me for oh, around 3 years now! Any suggestions?????

Get URL With An Anchor?
Hi all,

My question is simple to a programmer, but I'm totally right brained and am having problems doing the following:

I have an html page with a link to an .swf page. You click on a button in the flashed swf and it's suppose to go to another html page and go to a specified anchor point on that page.

I know to do this:

on (release){
GetURL ("page.htm");
}

I'm not sure where and how to place the anchor name after the GetURL code.

Could anyone help? Time, unfortunately, is of the essence.

Thanks!

Named Anchor
Hi,

this maybe a stupid question, but how exactly does the "named anchor" function work?

(And what does it exactly do?)

I was told it helps. and it sets a point of return when. pushed on the back button of your browser. But it doesn't seem to work for me. So.... how does it work?

Anchor Point
Well... this is probably a stupid question, but how do I make that little anchor point, the thing you rotate an object around, stay in place? Every time I try to do it, when I deselect the object, it just resets to the center. It's working everywhere but the keyframe at the begining of a tween I'm tryin' to do.

Thanks,

Named Anchor
yo
i'm trying to use "named anchor" for what u know.
it's works fine in a single html page, but when i check thesite (which use frameset), flash seems to be totally out !
i remove all the flash history functions and just let the "named anchor", and it's to work at all : so the trouble comes from the "named anchor".

Has someone an idea of what's wrong ?

Anchor Links
I've got to be missing something obvious here. In HTML, I could have something like:

[HTML]<a name="section1"></a>[/HTML]

To link to that, I would use:

[HTML]<a href="#section1">link</a>[/HTML]

So in Flash, I would expect I could do something like:

Code:
on(release){
getURL("#section1");
}

But that doesn't seem to work. What am I missing?

Anchor Point
Okay, I'm building a image browser (click right arrow, next pic, etc) and I have images loading in a movie clip, but the anchor point is locked in the upperleft so all the images load in the upper left. Is there a way to get an anchor point in the middle so all loaded images are centered on the screen?

[CS3] Xml Read Using Anchor Tag
i am using this piece of code so that when i click on a text link having an url it will open in a window. The problem i encounter now is that when you give trace to read the content, it reads well but the same conent is not poperly getting displayed in the textbox.

PHP Code:

fff = new XML();
blog_array_title = new Array();
blog_array_content = new Array();
fff.load("blog.xml");
fff.ignoreWhite = true;
fff.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
        hhh.htmlText = fff.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes[0].nodeValue
        trace(fff.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes[0].nodeValue);
    }
};

my xml file:

Anchor Tag From Swf To Html
Hello all...

I am having a difficult time with linking from within my SWF to an anchor tag in the same HTML page. I am loading the text for the textfield from an external file, but I dont THINK that is the problem.

I have read the following posting:

http://www.actionscript.org/forums/s...d.php3?t=51205

And a few others, but still having the same trouble. The problem is, that my links are working BUT they reload the page when clicking back and forth (which cannot work in my particular situation). Check out my test here:

http://www.client-dev.com/anchortest/anchortest.html

When you first hit an embedded link (level 2 or level 3) it does jump to the appropriate location in the page. You can then hit the "back to top" and it returns. The problem occurs when you try to hit either of the "level 2" or "level 3" links AGAIN. The second time around the page reloads. I am watching my URL do some weird stuff, but I am not exactly sure why the page needs to reload on that second go round. Any ideas??

THANKS!

Anchor Points
I have a moving mask that requires a change in shape. All is well, but the problem I am faced with is when an anchor point is in between two other anchor points and the middle anchor point comes into line with the other two points the middle anchor point disappears.

I am sure that the app is doing this to save on calculations, but I should have a choice. Is there anyway around this?

Anchor Tag In Txt File
is there any way that i could include a link that has punctuation characters inside of an anchor tag of an externally loaded txt file. something like this <a href='http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/leah%2Bdizon/video/x18dj1_leah-dizon'>click</a>. i noticed that txt files loaded into flash seem to break at any point where more unusual punctuation characters are included.

Anchor In HTML

Can anyone help?

Thanx,
