Does Anyone Know How To Achieve This?



If you go to: http://dynamic.abc.go.com/streaming/landing then click the big red button labeled "Launch the Player". a carousel type navigation loads. But the perspective is like you are standing in the middle of the carousel. Anyone know how to achieve this effect? I think it has something to do with using a Transform Matrix.

How To Achieve This?
Hi folks, i was wondering if any of you could provide some insight into how the simulated 3d spinning navigation at pepsi was created.

I have managed to achieve the rotating icons and swapDepth (using actionscript and trig) to have 5 icons rotate along an elliptical path while changing size and depth to create the illusion of 3D rotation around a center point.

What i cannot figure out is how to allow the mouse to control the direction and speed of the rotation since i have the actionscript for the rotation on each of the icon movieclips (in other words they are rotating independently but along the same path).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How Can I Achieve This...
Hi guys, i am currently creating a small flash website. The way to describe what I want to create is best shown on this site...

Fearless Site


When a link is clicked the shape moves down and the content is displayed, then when another link is click the shape moves up and the new page moves down..and so on.

Basically i want the same as above..apart from on my site a rectangle appears from the left side and extends across to the right.

All I have got at the moment is my buttons and when clicked the box forms across the page and shows the content...but when a different link is clicked I dont know how to close the current shape and re-open the new.

i.e. BUtton 1 clicked and page1 shown, then say button 4 is clicked page 1 closes (so rectangle shrinks bak in) and page 4 opens.

So yeh... when a link is clicked it has to close the current frame and re-open the new one...which i havent a clue how to do...any pointers or suggestions appreciated..

Thanks

Is There None Here That Can Achieve This?
im trying to make these titles they did at www.pixelgasoline.com after you click a link, the menu titles shrink and expand when rolled over.
Someone plz help meh?

How Can I Achieve This Plz?
how can I achieve this by flash plz??... http://www.pbase.ca/stock-photos-canada/fall/ I want exactly the same mouse over effect (a picture that moves with the cursor when the cursor is on the thumbnail)....plz help, thank you so much.

How Can I Achieve This?
Hi -

I hope someone can help, I've found this site with a great effect of the camera following an animated path.....I was just wondering if anyone knew if this kind of thing could be achieved in flash? Or something like swift 3D?

Thanks for any help,

Helen

PLEASE HELP...How To Achieve The Following....?
Sending me a little nutty. I am absolutely new to Flash, have a very general understanding of the principles involved.

I have been obsessively trying to recreate the follow Flash seen here at this site

http://www.neostudioweb.com/v2/index.php?lang=english


It looks relatively straight forward, but for myself it has been anything but !.

Here are the issues i am at a total loss on, regarding this animation.



1. Are the white stripes being controlled via Actionscript ? If so what is the code being used.


2. How do i stop the "white stripes" appearing OUTSIDE of the flash stage when viewed in a Browser.

EG: You can see them waiting each side of the anim, waiting to appear on stage ..........if that makes sense. Even with the stage set to the same dimensions as the content, they STILL display!..

Objects appear outside of the stage! WHY ?


3. This page uses SWFobject to embed, what is the benefit of this ?


4. How do you create the large white stripe (box thing) that moves slowly left to end of stage, and then seamlessly loops and begins again.


5. When you refresh the page, the background image in the animation changes. How is this being achieved ? .

EG : You refresh and there is BEACH, then PALMS, then WATER, new image every refresh, in the one .swf ?




ARGGG, i wish i could stop thinking about it. If anyone could enlighten me, be greatly! appreciated!......

How Can I Achieve This?
Does anyone know where I can view some tutorials or get movies on something like this?

http://www.toyotaneverquit.com/toyotaneverquit/

*edit* what I really want is to be able to click on a "flag" and have the map navigate there..just like in the sample link.

Thanks for any help.

How Would I Achieve This?
Hello All,

First, please find attached the swf that will explain what I am trying to accomplish.

The ghosts within this swf have a text box appear within them, where then the user can type the word on them and it slowly removes every letter that is typed until the ghost vanishes.

I am aware of how everything else is done, the only thing I am trying to figure out is how it uses the keylistener object to remove single letters from the dynamic text.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Need To Achieve This Example ....
Hi

figured it out

Thank you.

Can I Achieve This?
Hi,
The following will be inside a flash document.
- 4 images (each image looks like it is embedded in a browser window).
I am wondering if it would be possible to have these 4 images act the same way Browser Windows would act. Like having 4 windows open in a browser/desktop. Like clicking and dragging each of the windows. And/or Clicking an underlying window to bring it forward.
Any directions, ideas very much appreciated.
Thanks

How Else Can I Achieve This?
http://redefineart.co.nz/flash/oldflashindex.html

I have the 'Growing' Tribal art at the start of my Flash intro - I am currently in the progress of making v2 of the Flash Website.

I'm just wondering, how else can I achieve this growing effect?

This is how I'm doing it atm:
1) Create the Tribal art as Vector in Flash
2) Create a separate .swf file that has Frame.By.Frame animation which places a new "dot/round circle" movieclip on each frame, slowly masking the entire shape of the Tribal Vector.
3) Import the .swf file and set it as a mask on top of the Tribal Art.

Reason for this is I find by having Frame.By.Frame animation it is very cpu intensive - I end up having a lot of duplicated "dot/round circle" movieclips on the final frame which isn't too healthy for the cpu.

It would be fantastic if I could create one circle and tell one point of that circle to stretch and cover and follow a guide (the shape of the tribal art).

Please help? Any ideas? Any suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated! !


Cheers,
Ryan

How Can I Achieve This?
Hiya

I'm doing a small presentation for someone and they've asked for something quite specific in terms of how they want the navigation to work.

There will be basically three windows, and in their words they want it done 'like vista'. So they want the each 'window' to be the container for each section that the user would want ot load, at initial load they would be sat at perspective with all 3 viewable from the main window.

When one is clicked, it would transform into a normal window (so go from perspective, zoomed-out view to 100% view and no perspective, head on view). I hope this makes sense.

How would this be acheivable? Normally I would think that creating a tween for some transformed images which then morph into the normal straight on window and then loading in the external .swf, but I don't think this will be smooth enough transition.

I hope this makes sense, if it doesn't, let me know and i'll try and explain in a little more detail.

How would this be possible? What sort of script could I use to create the effect of perspective and zoomed out view, to that when clicked it would transform into a normal rectangular window?

Thanks
Tom

How To Achieve This
Hi

I have made 3 seperate movie clips that play once the movie starts, and on my main stage I have 3 buttons, what I want to achieve is when a user clicks on one of the buttons it plays that movie associated to that button and hides the other 2 movies not associated to that button, and son on for the other 2 buttons.

Hope that makes sense.

How To Achieve OnClick?
I've used DHTML in the past with it's onClick structure and am trying to mimick that sort of thing in Actionscript. Essentially, I've got a movieclip that when it is clicked on, I want something to happen.

The problem is that when I trigger the onMouseUp function that I specify, it triggers it for all the movieclips on the screen. I only want the function to be triggered for the onMouseUp of the element that I clicked on.

Here is my code:


PHP Code:




givenMC.onMouseUp = function(){
   trace(givenMC.id);
}







Right now, if I click, all movie clips trace their id. In javascript, it knew by default that I clicked on an element and wanted to use it's onClick... how do I do that in Actionscript?

Sorry if this doesn't make any sense.

What Script Can Achieve This?
multiple questions on one subject really

1.) look at this site for reference to what I'm trying to do:
http://www.intellipage.com/

you will notice the characters sitting in the chairs constanly move. Are they just loaded swf files in the main flash file that have HUGE timelines of frame by frame animation with no stop(); action on the last frame so that the movies always loop? or Are they simple flash video continuously looping for the viewer?.....or Is there a script put onto the timeline of the characters movie that helps achieve an effect as if they are really moving and adjusting there seats over the duration of the timeline in the movie?

If anyone needs me to re-fraze the question(s), i will, just let meknow if I'm not clear on what I'm asking.

Any directions you could also point me in would be great (i.e. -tuts, example files, code snippets etc...).

Thanks ahead of time

Wow Im glad i found this forum.
Could any of you help me to achieve this effect from the link below please:
http://www.fabrislane.co.uk/website.html
Its the mouseover effect where you see glimpses of the image below and then when you click it performs a transition.
I want to replicate this for my own website on my photo page. I have made a good search on flash kit for some help and really did not find anything similar. My actionscripting is limited to navigation so i am struggling a wee bit.
Any pointers in the right direction would be great.

Many thanks in advance.

Need Some Scripting Help, Not Sure How To Achieve This
I am trying to create an app that allows you to build a service package for an auto center.

What I need to know is how to script the dynamic stuff. Basically, you start off with a base price, and each time you add/subtract a service, it affects the price.

Can someone help me out??? How would I do this?

Anyone Knows How To Achieve This Effect ?
Just click on any button on the left hand side... I'm interested to find out how those color transitions are achieved (take a look at huge photos in the center of the page). When you chose different section (when different button is pressed), pictures becomes very bright and transitions are unbelievable smooth.

:: EXAMPLE TO LOOK AT ::

What I want to know is... is it possible to make that happen with some ActionScript command (or piece of code), or you just have to import let's say 2 same photos, but one in "normal" color and the other one in very bright shades, then tween them manually ? The second method is easy to achieve, but it takes up much more memory, especially if you have tens of photos (doubled as well), so I believe they did it different way... also, even more important, there is no way to achieve that smooth effect using this method... just because if you take a closer look, you'll see that there is nothing like whole photo is changing lightness of itself evenly... when they fade out in white, first areas that fades out are very bright areas, and darker areas comes later... but, when another photo fades in, first thing that appears are those darker areas, and then nice smooth fade in of lighter areas...

There must be something in ActionScript that can tell the photo to fade like that...

Any directions would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks in advance for any input !

Cheers !

How To Achieve This Using Just ActionScript ?
Hello wonderful people, again !

Here is a small example...

:: EXAMPLE ::

...of course, I wanted that animation to slide from left to right and backwards as slow as it goes right now... frame rate is 55 fps (it's the frame rate inside the main movie), but I want this animation to move this slow, so I had to make 800 frames with 5 keyframes in total to achieve this effect using tween (motion) feature. And, of course, it would be much much better if that animation can be much smoother, not jumpy like it is right now...

We all know that tweening is "killing" the frame rate, especially if some other parts of the main movie contains tweening as well, so I'm trying to figure out some better way to achieve this. As you all can see, this animation is nothing fancy, no additional bells and whistles, just plain animation with slight decrease in speed when it comes to the start and/or end frames... there must be a way to make this possible with few AS lines...

Here is the zip file (FLA and SWF), so if there is any good sould which would like to help with this, it would be greatly appreciated !

:: DOWNLOAD ZIP FILE (fla and swf) ::

Thanks in advance !

How Do You Achieve This Effect ?
The effect where when you hover over a button, text randomly generates for a second before the truth button text reveals, or sometimes i see that a designer uses the content box to randomly display text line by line revealing the true content as it travels. Anyone know what im talking about or can point me to a post where someone reveals how to do this ?

How To Achieve This Animation

[F8] How Did They Achieve This Effect?
I was referred to a site http://www.oxenproductions.com

If you will notice, there is a button in the bottom left corner allowing you to change the angle the site is viewed in. I find this really interesting.

Can anyone tell me or demonstrate how they did this???

How To Achieve This Effect
Hi everyone, I'm trying to create a cool effect to load some pictures I have on my site. Pretty much I want them to animate like the pic below (where each pic is a frame). The problem is that I'm using effects in Illustrator (wave warp and glass filter) because I don't know how/if there is a way to replicate those effects in flash and then importing each frame from Illustrator (annoying). So, I need a ton of frames which makes the file size of the swf way too big. Is there an easier way to achieve what I'm trying to do? Thanks.

Can I Achieve This With Actionscript?
i have a php that has this code in it to display the last time a table was updated.

I am moving the site to flash and would like to know if this can be achieved?

mysql_connect('localhost',$user,$pass);
mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
$info = (mysql_query("SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM `michaelp_ssp` LIKE 'ssp_albums'"));
$info1 = (mysql_query("SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM `michaelp_ssp` LIKE 'ssp_images'"));
$info=mysql_fetch_assoc($info);
$info1=mysql_fetch_assoc($info1);
$updated = strtotime($info["Update_time"]);
$last = date("F j, Y", $updated);
$updated1 = strtotime($info1["Update_time"]);
$last1 = date("F j, Y", $updated1);
echo "Albums Last Updated: ";
echo "$last";
echo"<br />";
echo "Images Last Updated: ";
echo "$last1";

How Could I Achieve This Using Code ?
I have something that is driving me crazy, I've been working more than 3 days in a "sub-menu" that I am building, and as an amateur in actionscript I tried and I just got 50%.
I am trying to build a sub-menu like this one in this page (http://www.pictureperfectphotoonline.com/index2.php) and my only problem is make my sub-menu work like this one in "Photo Gallery".
Does anybody have a built code already done that make the same functionality as this sub-menu (one option animates after the previous done, and whatever option you roll the mouse out, it stops on it and returns from it to the inicial).
I already see this kind of sub-menu or menu in many sites, but now I can realize that is too hard for me to built one.
Please, if you guys have the code done, or even a book that teachs, let me informed about it !
I need this menu desperately to continue with my project !

How Do You Achieve This Effect?
Hey guys,

Take a look at this site:

http://www.cloudninedesign.co.uk

Notice how the middle part containing the content expands and adjusts to every page clicked on. Now my query is how do you get it to adjust its width from the current page to the new page? If you need me to explain this a little more clearly i'll attempt to again...

Thanks,

Looking For Methods To Achieve This
Hi folks,

I want to make my swf stream musics in a continuous way. Say you have a 10 minutes song, normally when visitor1 opens the client swf they start listening it from beginning, 3 minutes after if visitor2 jumps in and opens they too start from the begining, and so on so forth for other visitors. What i want though is to find a way such that if visitor1 opens the client while the song is playing since 2 minutes they start listening only the portion that is left, not from the beginning; visitor2 jumps in 3 minutes after him, they just listen the remaining 5 minutes of the song, see what i mean?

I can i do that? Is they any specific methods for that, or how would you define a custom approach to achieve this? Can flash alone do that or would it require server sides codes in other languages?

Thank you
