After A Chain Link Tutorial :)
Hi guys..
I'll explain this the best i can:
I'm after a tutorial or some sort of easy explanation to do the following:
Imagine a chain if you will made up of a number of MCs (the links). the MC would have two extreme points which link to the last and next point of the adjascent link respectively, as a chain does. I don't see why all links can't have the same rule or function so long as they are named differently.
The only exception to the rule will be the end links, both of which will be attached to a point of a seperate moving MC.
Lastly the links will have a gravity , so it naturally hangs down, but when the seperate MCs move it adjusts itself.
Hope this makes sense... any info at any level welcome

URGENT Kirupa News Ticker Tutorial Link
Hi this is quite urgent and I was hoping someone could help me out.
I am doing an xml news ticker based on the tutorial found here on kirupa. Everything is working fine and I have gotten the ticker to read headlines off an xml file. The problem is, linking to a page from the news ticker. In the tutorial, the url function in the xml file is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<images>
<item>
<news>This is great</news>
<url>http://www.kirupa.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=4(0);")</url>
</item>
The thing is, I want the link to open up a javascript window with set properties. What I am trying is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<images>
<item>
<news>This is great</news>
<url>"javascript:NewWindow=window.open('wonderful. html','newWin','width=817,height=600,left=0,top=0, toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=yes,status=No,re sizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);")</url>
</item>
</images>
This doesn't seem to do anything...not too sure if I've written it correctly or if there is any other problem. I really need to get this done and any help would be very very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
Button Link Inside Movie Clip Link To Slide #
First let me say I am a very new to ActionScript and Flash, but have a pretty good understanding of the web and a basic understanding of object oriented scripts from CSS and a few other languages.
I have a navigation menu which is a movie clip containing buttons inside it and have a slide presentation as my main content. I am trying to make the buttons link to a specific slide # in a different part of my flash presentation.
You can see the page here: http://brhpc.ericlevay.com
The nav menu is a downloaded source and the slide show is the default canned one from the Flash templates directory.
I was hoping to use the gotoandStop (slide#) to make the connection between the nav button and the slide but it does not do anything.
I will provide the source if needed...
Thanks!
Html Link And Flash Link On Intro Page
I've noticed that a lot of Flash sites have some kind of detector to see if you have the flash plug in. Is that scripting?
Plus, I see that the intro page of ones site will have an HTML and a FLASH option to choose from to enter the site. Would that be enabled in the publish settings of Flash 5? I am curious to know how that is done because I am designing this young lady's site and she wants the viewers to have the options of HTML or Flash.
Thanks!
Can Dynamic Text Have An Embedded Link? Or HTTP Link?
I'm using the Flash scroll bar componet, which uses dynamic text, and I want to link part of my dynamic text to a specific frame in my moive. - Is it possible?
- I've tried and it doesn't allow the 'Go TO' funcion.
so,
I created another HTML page and SWF to display the specific SWF screen that I want to show up - now I'm trying to link my dynamic text to '_self' so that when the link is clicked it will look like it is in the same site.
When I use the dynamic text and create the link, it appears to be ok/workable in the Properites panel, but when published, it doesn't work.

Hide Cursor When Over Text Link (TextEvent.LINK)
Hi there!
In my application, i have custom graphic cursor. I use Mouse.hide() 'onMouseMove' . There are some special cases though, when the default mouse cursor is still visible. Like for example when:
(1) rolling over an input texfield
(2) rolling over a link: <a event:blabla>link</a>
..in html-formatted textField.
The latter is worst. Is there a way to hide the default mouse cursor in these cases? I haven't found any so far..
Cheers!

How do i create a link in a MySQL table and then how do i make that link display in flash 8? I've tried enabling html text but i don't know how to make the link display as an actual hyperlink?
Any Ideas.

links_txt.html = true;
theXML.onLoad = function() {
var itemNodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;

To The Tutorial Writing Staff: XML Portfolio Tutorial
Hi guys!
I'm a basic actionscript user which knows the basics of xml and actionscript. I've been seaching for a tutorial for a long time now how to make a portfolio which is dynamic and loads info from an external .xml file.
Since i couldn't find any tutorial like this i've tryed to make my own script out from this xml file:
Code:
<portfolio thumburl="thumbs/" imgurl="images/">
<project hdline="my first project" client="none" date="2007-01-02" category="website" weburl="http://website.com">
<image url="image1.jpg"/>
<image url="image2.jpg"/>
<image url="image3.jpg"/>
<description><![CDATA[This describes my first project]]></description>
</project>
</portfolio>
I have hade in mind that you should see a bunch of thumbnails first in a table format (like 6 cols and 3 rows) on each page, then you should be able to select page with next and prev buttons. When you press on a thumnail a box with the bigger image shuld pop-up and you should be able to read the other information in the xml file (such as client, date etc etc).
I've tryed to make this but it's to advanced. And my version is very buggy, aswell.
Here is what i've done sofar:
www.vmgcomputers.com/xml/portfolio3.swf
I don't know if this helps but here is a "multiple loader" i found:
http://www.johnnyslack.com/content/d...der_jslack.zip
I think there are many guys who are looking for a tutorial about this so please consider to make one, all professionals out there!
Link Layers? Link Timeline Layer?
Ive been struggling for what seems like forever to figure this out. Is there any way to link layers together, so, when you move one, they all move? also, is there a way to link a layer timeline? so when you move one object, it moves all objects on that same layer timeline? possible way to move everything at once?
Thanks!

Active Link Color / Visited Link Color
Good day,
I have a simple navigation question. I've seen sites which allow buttons to have various states. Like in praystation.com- you click on a date, that date turns green. You click on another date- the old date turns red (indicating that you have already visited that link) and the new date becomes green.
How do you do that! Anyone know how that's done? It's nagging at my brain, I want to learn how, but I'm too much of a newbie to figure it out.
Any help would greatly appreciated.

Help With Tutorial
Ok, I have "the basics" of flash down, but dont really know too much about action script. I know other programming languages etc. But my problem is i get through this whole tuorial (short one) on how to make a scrolling nav bar. Then at the very end it says to insert the action script, so i do. The Drop the "movie clp" into my main timeline. What i am confused with is i dont think ther ever was a movie clip and even when i do drop it in my main time line and add the action script what does it do DOH! If you guys would look at this tutorial:http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Interactivity/Navigation/Horizont-Jeremy_B-744/index.shtml
and tell me what to do on steps 4-6 in a ore detailed explanation it would be MUCH APRECIATED! I've been at it for a couple days now : thanks - EnS
Re: Tutorial For MX; Can Do In 5?
Thanks for your help ahead of time!
I have used general help area lots of times and it has always been so useful.
I've been asked to set up a script in Flash that would allow the user to input a number; as in days of the month; ie.7. This number would enter an equation that would create a sum (number) that would then be automatically represented by an updated graph bar.
I found this tutorial, which is almost perfect, but it is for MX, not Flash5.
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ac...14/index.shtml
Can anyone help with a Flash5 work around?
Thanks,
Kevin
