Flash :: Creating A Sliding Menu And Having A Problem With A Button

Creating A Sliding Menu:(
Hello,
Im fairly new to using actionscript, but i am slowly grasping all tha crap u have to know in general to make things work...

I have a small dilema: Im currently creating a very simple movie in FLASH 5 for my music which is primarely buttons with some text and url links if i can ever figure all that out!

I have tha basic stuff already done like tha background and the text that will need to become buttons...

What i want to do is make my logo a ROLLOVER BUTTON - so that when u roll over the rest of my menu SLIDES IN FROM OUTSIDE OF THE LEFTHAND STAGE...I saw someones on here do it before and thought it looked cool, but theirs was v6 so i couldnt view it.

[logo] - rollover

-------------->text button {I want these to slide in like that.}
---------->text button
------>text button
--->text button

I attached the fla. file to make it more accessible for someone with an answer to see what my problem is.

Thanks for tha help! -STEEZ

Creating A Sliding Menu
Hi
I'm trying to build a vertical navigator menu which as you move your mouse over a menu choice the other choices slide down leaving room for other submenu choices to appear. However i can't get the actionscript right for the rollout once the menu choices have slid down to get it to slide back up again. I have for example 7 hyperlinked buttons which appear under one of the main menu choices, will i have to do an if else script 7 times? and if so how? or is there an easier way?
by the way im using flash '04
thanks in advance

Advice Needed - Creating A Sliding Menu System
Hi

1st off this is my first post although i've been lurking on and off for some time.... so hello!

I'm trying to create a sliding menu system... hopefully my 2 minute diagram should help you get the concept. Unfortunately i'm having some difficulty, so i'm hoping you professionals can give me a few clues!

I've tried a few techniques, animating the sliding movement and then tring to control which movies should play when a particular buton is pressed, but this doesn't take into account wether a button is already scrolled out or not...

Also tried nesting multiple movies, so i have one movie that slides and then a movie clip button nested inside with a no. of keyframes assigned so i can have differring actioncript on each keyframe making it applicable to differnet situations.... didn't seem to work, can you controll movie timelines in a parent movie?

As you've probably guessed my Flash / Actionscript experience is limited, although not terrible i've been dabbling on and off for a no. of years.

What i'm hoping for is someone to point me down the right path, i'm thinking i need to include a variable to determine wether a button is scrolled "out or in".... what do you guys think??

any tutorial links for something similar would help too, and perhaps a good well explained tut for using variables??

anyway looking forward to getting some replys.... hopefully!! so much to learn, so many questions!!!

Cheers

BUTTON ACTION FOR SLIDING MENU?
Hello

How can I assign button action(not get url, but for in the same scene)???? I always wanted to use sliding menu, but I just do not know how as I am not familier with script at all, except basic.

Example sliding menu is as below address....I see so many example, but non of them has button action on it.
So please teach me how to, but do not forget I am totally amateur for script.

[F8] Sliding Menu - Button Problem
I have a dock-like menu that slides in when you hover over a little handle. i got the slide to work just fine...the problem is is that my buttons wont work.

here is the code:

_global.menuPosition = "hiding";
_global.dockPosition = "showing";

_root.dockMC.onRollOver = function() {
if (menuPosition == "hiding") {
var menuPullUp = _root.footerMC.tween("_y", _y+36, .5, "easeoutexpo");
var dockFade = _root.dockMC.alphaTo(0, .5, "easeoutexpo");

_global.menuPosition = "showing";
_global.dockPosition = "hiding";
}
};
_root.footerMC.onRollOut = function() {
if (menuPosition == "showing") {
var menuPullUp = _root.footerMC.tween("_y", _y+100, .5, "easeoutexpo");
var dockFade = _root.dockMC.alphaTo(100, .5, "easeoutexpo");

_global.menuPosition = "hiding";
_global.dockPosition = "showing";
}
};

(menu being the actual footer menu, and dock meaning the little handle)

i know why its not working....the onRollOut is turning the movieclip into a button of sorts, nullifying all the buttons contained in it...i just want to be able to make it slide back into hiding when you roll off of the menu, but still have working buttons.

Nested Button In MC / Sliding Menu
Hi, I've been working on the Sliding Menu Tutorial:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/slidingMenu.htm

I got everything working great.
I'm trying to alter it a bit. As secondary navigation, I've nested a previous and next buttons inside the content1 MC.

I've tried using different AS to get the nested buttons to work so;

Inside the content1 MC
On the actions layer, I've tried:

--
testnext.onRelease = function() {
this._parent._parent.menuSlide(contentHold.content 2);

};

--

this.testnext.onRelease = function() {
_parent._parent.menuSlide(.content2);
};

--
On the actual button instance, I've tried:
on (release) {
_parent._parent.menuSlide(contentHold.content2);
}

The action script used in the main time line on frame 10 is:

stop();
var currentPosition:Number = contentHold.content1._x;
var startFlag:Boolean = false;
menuSlide = function (input:MovieClip) {

if (startFlag == false) {

startFlag = true;

var finalDestination:Number = input._x;
var distanceMoved:Number = 0;
var distanceToMove:Number = Math.abs(finalDestination-currentPosition);
var finalSpeed:Number = .3;
var currentSpeed:Number = 0;
var dir:Number = 1;

if (currentPosition<=finalDestination) {

dir = -1;

} else if (currentPosition>finalDestination) {

dir = 1;

}

this.onEnterFrame = function() {

currentSpeed = Math.round((distanceToMove-distanceMoved+1)*finalSpeed);
distanceMoved += currentSpeed;
contentHold._x += dir*currentSpeed;
if (Math.abs(distanceMoved-distanceToMove)<=1) {

contentHold._x = maskMovie._x-currentPosition+dir*distanceToMove;
currentPosition = input._x;
startFlag = false;
delete this.onEnterFrame;

}

};

}

};
b1.onRelease = function() {

menuSlide(contentHold.content1);

};
b2.onRelease = function() {

menuSlide(contentHold.content2);

};

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Having Button Issues With Sliding Menu
Ok I know there is already a post similar to this on here but I think the issue I am having is different. I have a menu and until the mouse rolls over the top of it nothing happens. Once the mouse rools over the slide moves out of the way to reveal text for a link. I can not get the click to move it to the page. I would love to attach the fla but it is too big even zipped. Can anyone help me? Everything seems ok with it until I try to test or post it to the site. I am desperate...

Sliding Menu/gallery With PREV - NEXT Button
Sarting from this:

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/slidingMenu.htm

Any idea on how I could implement Next - Prev buttons to the navigation, instead of having to click bt 1, bt 2, bt 3... well, I will leave it but I want to add the buttons as well.

I tried with assigning variables to the content mcs... anyway. I just can't figure it out.
Here is the Kirupa tutorial file link if you are willing to play with it:

Sliding Menu : How To Highlight Selected Button
Implemeting the wicked sliding menu code into a site.

Can someone show me how I can make a button stay highlighted after they have clicked on it. (i.e. the button is a different colour once it has been selected and then turns back to the original when another button is pressed).

I am not using flash buttons by movieclips with the code to make them work as buttons so I can get a nice mouseover / mouseout fade in and out.

Help you Flash gurus!

Creating "sliding" Mouseover Menu?
Hi All - total novice here. Hoping someone can point me in the correct general direction to accomplish the following:

I have a series of menu buttons on a Flash document. When moused over, I want the buttons to "slide" down to reveal some sub-menu items underneath.

A static graphical representation of what I want to do can be found here: http://www.geocities.com/ninjadaisy/flash_mouseover.html

I am thinking that I will need to create a movie clip for each button item that will play when moused over, but I'm not so sure...anyway, I'm hoping that it's a simpler task than what it seems like in my head.

Thanks in advance for any advice. Oh - I'm working in Flash 8 Professional, if that makes a difference.

Please Help With Sliding Menu Static Copy Works, Sliding Doesn't
I have a copy of the same sliding tab menu. On has actionscipt on the MC telling it to slide in/out. The other does not.

The moving one loses all it's sub-timeline actions.

The static one works fine. How do I get the moving to work?

Please help.

Will be very simple for the flash gurus out there.

Sliding Menu - Need MC To Play After Sliding Has Finished
Hi,

I have created a Sliding Menu with about 12 sections. In one of the section/s I have a MC inside that I want to play. Is there a way to tell a MC to play once sliding has completed? Say based on pixel position (of the sliding MC) or something similar?

At the moment I'm using "on release" but with this method, the animation starts too early. (By the time you slide from section 1 to 12 the MC has already started playing)...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!!

Creating A Menu Button.

Recently I was trying to create a menu button. But however, it seems that whenever I selected an item, it failed to bring me to the frame to be played.
Perhaps can someone refer me to an open source or something?

Flash Sliding Menu / Horizontal Dynamic Picture Menu
Hello,

I am quite fascinated by the effect used to scroll a variety of pictures left and right with the ability to halt on a particular picture to click and navigate to another area of a site. Could anyone point me to a tutorial on how this is done? An good example of the effect may be seen on this site:

http://www.calatrava.com (click on the "slide show" link)

Would appreciate any pointers. Thanks!

Creating A Sliding Movie
I have a script that I am using that makes a movie clip move right and left based upon its _x value. It moves more quickly the further it has to go. This works just fine but I have to apply the actionscript right onto the movieclip. How can I remove the actionscript from being directly on the clip and movie it onto the actions layer.

An example of this can be seen at http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tut...Flash-MX/10624

The actionscript for the file is as follows

PHP Code:

onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;
spd = 6 ;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_x += (endX-_x)/spd;
_y += (endY-_y)/spd;

_root.page1.onRelease = function() {
endX = 0;
endY = 0;
};
_root.page2.onRelease = function() {
endX = -220;
endY = 0;
};
_root.page3.onRelease = function() {
endX = -440;
endY = 0;
};
_root.page4.onRelease = function() {
endX = -660;
endY = 0;
};
}

Creating A Sliding Movement
I am doing this tutorial. and I have completed all the steps in step one:

First here's the tutorial i'm following ( I think its a very good tutorial):
second you may need to look at the fla and the tutorial first to know what i'm talking about.
http://www.actionscripts.co.uk/tutor...1/step_one.htm

Problem #1:
How do I place text, mc's, any content on these pages I've created? In the tutorial it states to create a movie clip and inside that movie clip there are 3 instances of another mc with 3 rectangles (the page's) placed in specific x y positions. One of my problems here is that if I try to put any content on one page then all the pages inherit the same content. I tried on a different layer and the same problem.

Problem #2:
I got it making the transitions when I click the buttons, but I have to click on the second button first before the first button will work.

I followed the tutorial exactly, what am I doing wrong?

attached is the fla to what I'm working on.

thank you,

Combine XML Menu Tutorial With Verticle Sliding Menu
Hey Guys,
IM trying to combine the dynamic XML menu tutorial found here on Kirupa with a tut ive found else where.

Now I under stand how the sliding tutorial works, but its based on some fixed dimensions.

Obviously the dimensions of the XML menu can change as items are added ...if any one could take a look a source (below) and tell me where to start referencing the variouse dimensions involved?

The news.xml and news.fla files contain a rough working model of the XML menu in case they are fo any use?

LINK: www.nineironmusic.co.uk/scrollmenu.zip

Scroll menu AS:

ActionScript Code:
mouseX = _ymouse;menuX = menu._y;if (mouseX > 280) { diff = (mouseX-280)/15;}if (mouseX < 220) { diff = (220-mouseX)/15;}if (mouseX <= 250 && menuX <= 56) { setProperty("menu", _y, menuX+diff);}if (mouseX >= 250 && menuX >= -204) { setProperty("menu", _y, menuX-diff);}if (menu._y >= 56) { menu._y = 56;} else if (menu._y <= -204) { menu._y = -204; }gotoAndPlay(2);

Looking For A Tutorial Or Help Creating A Sliding Window/frame
I have a need to build a calculator that will occupy a certain space. What I'm looking to do is, when you click on step 1, a window slides out and allows you to fill in the data and then slides closed when you finish...eventually the data you filled in will populate the underlying image bar chart.

Right now, I'm not concerned with the data and populating the chart...just creating the sliding window effect... as this is for mockup purposes.

Does anyone know of a tutorial or example I could follow???

Thanks!

Creating That Slow/smooth Photo Sliding Effect; How?
Hi, I've created a Flash movie, using 8, publishing to 7, at 12fps using about 1200 frames, sliding a line of photos in my 500-px wide document, at about 400 frames for each photo to slide over to the next one.

They slide over, but jerkily. I've seen this effect a bunch of times, and photos slide over slowly and smoothly and beautifully.

Is there a secret to having that effect happen? I tried using up to 36fps, to no really noticeably more smooth sliding of the photos. Do I need to make it some way- really-high # frs, or is there a different secret?

My photos are all just separate symbols, each dragged down into keyframe 1, then slid over for each next keyframe, 400 frames apart from each other.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Creating Sliding Text Field In Movie Clip.
Is it possible at all? I have tried to put it to movie clip and it doesn't work so I'd like to. It's fine until I add borders where scroll is active. When I move cursor up and down, to move up or down, then it won't work properly... Like lag or something.

This is the code I am using:

Code:
panel.onRollOver = panelOver;

function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
delete this.onRollOver;
}

var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);

function scrollPanel() {
if(_xmouse<b.xMin || _xmouse>b.xMax || _ymouse<b.yMin || _ymouse>b.yMax) {
this.onRollOver = panelOver;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

if(panel._x >= 89) {
panel._x = 89;
}

if(panel._x <= -751) {
panel._x = -751;
}

var xdist = _xmouse - 250;

panel._x += Math.round(-xdist / 7);
}

Problem With Sliding Menu (menu.xml)
I have tweeked one of the free sliding menu's (menu xml) downloaded from a website.

We have made it to go vertical instead of horizontal, also we make it stop once the top or bottom of the menu reaches the top/bottom of the page. Therefore we have removed it from looping all over again. The problem that occurs is that once it does stop the last menu button jumps up a bit; and everytime we go up and back down it jumps again and this keeps on happening.

Also the top part does the same (going up), this only happens to the first and last buttons.

I have attached my file so you can see what I have done wrong and hopefully help me on this.

Thanks in advance.

Sliding Menu
I'm looking to creating a sliding menu...I'll have about 20 thumbnail pictures along the side of a page around 800 x 600. Obviously I can't fit all 20 thumbnails on the page at once so I want a slider bar so that the user can slide from top to bottom of the thumbnail list. I'm using Flash MX BUT I need to output my file to Flash 5, since I'm restricted to using my Flash file in Director 8.5 which only supports up to Flash 5 SWF files.

Anyone know of a way to do this? Please advise....Thanks!!!

Someone said this was just some code on the buttons which specifies the position of the scrolling movie clip. Thanks in advance.

Sliding Menu
Hi,

I built this menu using code that I found on this forum. Everything is working great except for when the main menu goes up or down, the sub menu seems to come partially out then go back (the sub menu isn't supposed to move until you mouse over one of the buttons). I can't figure out what is causing this to happen and was hoping someone here may be able to help.

Thanks in advance.

Sliding Menu
Have a sliding menu , that contains 2 MC's , a Background Box & a MC containing 4 buttons. The menu slides up all fine etc , but the buttons for some reason will only show the Up effect , not the Over. Any ideas ? , probably summin simple. Brain aint on today

-edit- Aint tried the Onclick function either , but i doubt that also works.

Sliding Up Sub Menu
Hi All,

I am trying to design a menu system in which the sub menu fades in in an upward direction. I can get it to slide up on mouse over and slide down on mouse out but I can not get it to stay so that you can select the submenu buttons. I have attached my file. Any suggestions? PS. This has to be done in Flash 5.

Sliding Menu
gooday all, i'm having a bit of trouble that I just can't quite get my head around. See what I'm trying to do is make this menu(attached) so that when you click on one of the links, they slide out to the right....now, I have the sliding part down. But seeing as there are 4 items in the menu (about, services, work, contact) I would like the menu to work so that there can only be one item selected at a time

(ex. u click on "about", it slides out to the right, and then u click on "services" and "about" slides back to the left with the rest and "services" slides out to the right....a bit confusing)

The BIG problem here is I can't get an item in the menu (ex. "about") to function so that if ANY of the other items are selected it must move back to the left. So far all I've accomplished is it's acknowledgment of ONE other item.

Here is my code:

Code:
_root.about._x += rate;

if (_root.services._x >= 32){
targetx = 31.9;
}
else {
targetx = 80;
}
if (_root.work._x >= 32){
targetx = 31.9;
}
else{
targetx = 80;
}
if (_root.contact._x >= 32){
targetx = 31.9;
}
else{
targetx = 80;
}
For reference: targetx = location of the item (31.9 = original position, 80 = when it slides out to the right)

It seems that with this code, flash only acknowledges the LAST If statement "if (_root.contact._x >= 32..."

THE QUESTION: Is there a way I can make it so that there can only be one item selected at a time? Using If statements or not...doens't matter

hope this makes sense =/

Sliding Menu
I am trying to get a sliding menu to work. I found a good tutorial on http://www.wildform.com/tutorials/sc...059881fc9&ref= but I need to change the size and am having problems with alignment and speed. I have put the original fla on http://www.gregbrophy.com/ixion/flash/ixionnew.fla

here is the code code: xm = 0;
//function to set the xpos of the movieclip
function xpos(bar_length,mul)
{
hpos = 0;
scroll_length = 814;
incr = bar_length/scroll_length;
xm = _xmouse;
if(_xmouse <= 10){xm = 10;}
if(_xmouse >= 407){xm = 407;}
scroll_x = hpos - xm;
scroll_x = scroll_x * mul;
x_pos = scroll_x * incr;
x_pos = x_pos + hpos;
return x_pos;
}

_root.onEnterFrame = function ()
{

// call function xpos
x_pos = xpos(400,.20);
with (bg)
{
_x += (x_pos - _x)*.4;
}

// call function xpos
x_pos = xpos(814,.75);
with (menu)
{
_x += (x_pos - _x)*.4;
}

}

Thanks,

Greg

Sliding Menu...
hi guys,
i have a menu and on some of the buttons when they are rolled onto i want the bottom half to slide down revealing sub-menu's in a button. and when the user rolse of i want the menu system to slide back into place. i attached a file to make my bad expalnantion easier to understand
thanks again,
tom

ps. I found something similar to what I needed but it seems to be quite mc heavy, which will slow it down I think. I also want the menu to reveal submenu's when the mouse roll' over it not once clicked, and to move more 'elastic';
