Blocking Buttons?
Hi!

I have an SWF loaded into Level 1, completely (visually) covering the Level 0 movie... but level 0 has buttons on it that are still active when I pass over them in the Level 1 movie...

Can I somehow make the buttons in level 0... invisible so they can't be hit while Level 1 is up?

Hope that makes sense...

THANKS!

Blocking Buttons
In a scene I have a number of buttons. To start with I want them to be blocked. I've used:

for (i=1; i<20; i++) {
_root["button"+i].enabled = false;}

To another button I've attached this script to make them active again:

on (release) {
for (i=1; i<20; i++) {
_root["button"+i].enabled = true;}
}

It all worked fine until I added a new button, "button10".

Is there a problem beacuse "10" consists of two figures or is there another problem? Maybe there is an easier way to do this, locking and unlocking buttons in a scene?

/Thanks!

Blocking Buttons
I was wondering how you disable half of a button (For when half of it is hidden) I have been doing this cheap fix but want to know the proper way... Basically what I have been doing is putting a selectable dynamic textbox in front of the blocked button. So the cursor changes to a "I"

Is there a better way?? Even can I change the default "I" to an arrow??

Thanks

Blocking Buttons Through Layers?
Not sure if I am in right forum - but maybe I am! Is there a way (maybe through some aactionscript) of preventing a button activating when it below another layer without unloading the movie below.

thx in advance

Issue With Movieclip Blocking Buttons Underneath
I've successfully set mouseEnabled or mouseChildren to false in order to allow buttons underneath a movieclip to be accessible. For some reason I have this movieclip now that contains a transparent PNG and even with both of those properties set to false, it is still blocking buttons that are underneath it. Is there something else I am missing?

Blocking Mouse Listener When Overlaps Buttons
I have a mouse listener on the main timeline.

It is interfering with my navigation bar at the bottom. Whenever I click a button on the navigation bar it works but the mouse listener picks it up and does the associated function.


ActionScript Code:
Mouse.addListener(mousecontroll);


I want my buttons to block the mouse listener where it overlaps my navigation bar. How can I do this?

Thanks.

'Floating' Menu - Need Some Help
I'm putting together a floating navigation, basically identical to what's here: http://www.wynnlasvegas.com

I know this is fairly easy and has been used ad nauseum for years, but with my limited scripting skills it's somewhat of a challenge.

Anyone here have a link to an example file I can reference? Or possible have the code handy I can use? I'm using Flash 8 if that makes a difference.

Thanks

Floating Menu Help - Thanks
Hi Guys, I have a menu on my site which floats in the bottom right side of the page. I want to do the same, but for the top left side, so no matter where on the site the user is, the menu will be in the top left side.

Which part of my script below currently tells my menu.swf to stay at the bottom right hand side, cause i can't work it out.

Thanks for your help.


// Includes the tweening extensions.

#include "mc_tween2.as"


// Assigns each button its own functions.

// Of course, these buttons were created at design time, on the Flash IDE itself.
// Usually, you wouldn't do that with serious projects, you'd create them dinamically from some "template"
// movieclip (or from some component).

// This is an array, a list of the buttons used.
var myButtons = [this.myButton_1, this.myButton_2, this.myButton_3, this.myButton_4,this.myButton_5,this.myButton_6,th is.myButton_7,this.myButton_8,this.myButton_9,this .myButton_10,this.myButton_11,this.myButton_12,thi s.myButton_13,this.myButton_14,this.myButton_15,th is.myButton_16,this.myButton_18];

// Loops on all buttons from the first to the last one
for (var i=0; i<myButtons.length; i++) {
// Sets its original Y value. This will be used later for reference.
myButtons[i].originalX = myButtons[i]._x;

// When the mouse rolls over this menu option... go down just a bit.
// NOTICE: I'm not taking into consideration the problem of having the hit area going down and "moving" the
// mouse area and out of the button (possible rollover flicking). This is just a simple example afterall.
myButtons[i].onRollOver = function() {
this.tween("_x", this.originalX + 10, 1);
this.alphaTo (60, 2);
};
// When the mouse exits the menu option.. go back up.
myButtons.onRollout = myButtons.onReleaseOutside=function () { this.tween("_x",this.originalX,0.5);this.alphaTo(1 0,100);
};;;;;;;;;;
// When the mouse clicks.. activate it!
myButtons.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.activateItem (this);
// *** Add some function here or somewhere else to handle real button actions!
trace ("Hey, button "+this+" was clicked.");
};
}

this.activateItem = function(item) {
// Function that activates a button.

// Checks if there's an activated item already; if so, deactivates it.
if (this.currentItem != false) this.deActivateItem();

// Activates it, finally
this.currentItem = item;

Hi, all

I tried to reproduce an original example that I downloaded from internet (Original - MENU) in (Mi - Intento) but I can reach the sub_buttons because when I move the mouse pointer out of the main button, the other sub_buttons hides, however in the original it works.

Also I realized that when the configuration of the publication is Flash5 the example does work but with Flash8 it doesn't
I don't realize how do it with flash8, I hope you can help me...

Thanks in advantage...

Floating Buttons
I'm new to the forum so go easy!


I'm trying to make a button that floats but doesn't really go anywhere. I want the buttons to remain in basically the same area but I don't want them to move around in one set pattern.

This is where the script comes in but I'm not far enough in to know where to start.

Any help, suggestions or nods in the general direction would be greatly appreciated.

Floating Menu/button
I'm not sure how to phrase this, but here it goes.

Can someone tell me what I should look under in the tutorials, or movies, or basically tell me how to do the following;

I created a map in flash, the map is much to large to display the entire map on one screen, even at 1600 X 1200 resolution. I want to create a smaller key map plan of the entire map in the upper left hand corner. When the user clicks on a location of the smaller map, it'll bring the user to the location on the much larger map. The small key map would have to be able to scroll with the user up, down, left or right, but would have to stay fixed in the upper left hand corner. Can someone direct me to the right location on learning how to do this, or what to look under?. Thanks.



p.s. if what I'm explaining isint clear, I'll post a pic of what I'm trying to do.

[F8] Floating Flash Menu
I have taken over a Flash project and am wondering how to proceed. Any input/links/tutorials would be greatly appreciated.


There are 4 separate areas to the site (all separate Flash movies) and a 5th movie that acts as a "communicator" between the sites. The communicator should pop up and float over the open site (with the open site still visible underneath) and contain the links to the 4 areas.


What are the methods to accomplish this? Is it done with ActionScripts and layers in Flash?



Thanks

I Need To Create A Floating Menu
BEGINNER; PLEASE HELP!!!

I have created a menu at the bottom of my webpage but it sometimes doesnt appear if opened on a computer with a small screen. How can I tell this menu (which is a self contained movie clip symbol) to always appear at the bottom of the page without creating a scroll bar.

Should I make the menu into a floating menu and if so what is the actionscript to do this?

Thanks in advance

Floating Menu Options
I´ve searched on the foruns but found nothing about this.

I´d like to make some buttons to "float" over an area of the stage with AS so the movement is random and smooth.

Once one of the buttons is clicked, the others would go to the corner and the pressed button would go to the top so it is the "tittle" of the text the should open.
The other buttons would remain "floating" but in a smaller and pre-defined area of the stage, still beeing clickable.

Hope I´ve be clear and somebody could help me.

thanks

Floating Menu System
I've been trying to develop this menu system in which you can collapse/drag and rearrange menus. I've attached what I have so far, but I've been running into problems and I'm hoping someone can guide me in the right direction.

One of the larger problems I'm at right now is rearranging the menus. If, for example, I move the top menu to the bottom, the other 3 menus don't shift up and I can't seem to figure it out.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Floating Sticky Menu
Hello all
I need to come up w/ some sort of small nav bar for a cd portfolio I have to do for school. There was something I saw a while back on this site (I found through here) that I really liked. I put this in my favorites, but it won't load anymore. Anyways, the buttons were like "floating" and moving around, and when the mouse went over one, the button like "stuck" to it, and followed the cursor, unless you "yanked" it away from the button. It was way cool. Anyone know where I can learn how to do this? You can try the link, but I doubt it will work, maybe some of y'all even know this guy, I have to say that his site is one of my top 5 favs.

Thanks, out.

Floating Menu Won't Stop At Ends?
Hi,
I'm trying to do a floating navigation bar at the top of the screen. I've combined three different scripts, so that when I roll out of the menu, it stops, instead of continuing to scroll. Problem is, I can't get it to stop when it reaches the end of the menu on both sides. It just keeps on scrolling, and gets lost off screen. Is there some way I can tell it to stop, or set speed to 0, or something like that? It's controlled by a follow mouse movie clip. The second frame of the follow mouse clip has this script

:drag = "/dragControl";
/:w = getProperty("/nav", _width);
/:xPos = getProperty(drag, _x);
/:yPos = getProperty(drag, _y);
// next 2 lines center the menu drag to the screen
/:yPos = /:yPos-50;
/:xPos = /:xPos-200;
// SET DRAG SPEED (inverse)
speed = 45;
setProperty ("/nav", _x, getProperty("/nav", _x)-(/:xPos/speed));
if (Number(getProperty("/nav", _x))<Number(-(/:w/2))) {
setProperty ("/nav", _x, _x+1);
} else if (Number(getProperty("/nav", _x))>0) {
setProperty ("/nav", _x, -/:w/2);
}

The movie clip is called "dragControl" and the menu is "nav"
I've been staring at this clip for a week and I don't know which way to go. I would really appreciate any thought, ideas! Thanks!

How Can I Stop A Floating Menu On A Rollover?
I have a menu that floats around the screen counter to where the mouse is positioned. Within the menu movie clip there are four buttons housed in a single movie clip of their own. What I'm trying to do is stop the menu mc from floating when the mouse rolls over any part of the menu mc.

I can accomplish it on the main timeline by putting a stop action on the first frame of the menu mc instance but this makes my four buttons inactive.

Is there any way to adjust the commands within the floating menu timeline? Here is the code on the first frame of the menu MC:


xspan = getProperty("_root.menu", _x)-getProperty("_root.center", _x);
yspan = getProperty("_root.menu", _y)-getProperty("_root.center", _y);
setProperty(_root.menu.balls, _rotation, (360-xspan)+(360-yspan));

if ((xspan*xspan)>0) {
setProperty("", _x, Number(getProperty("_root.center", _x))+Number((xspan*0.9)));
xspan = xspan-1;
} else {
setProperty("", _x, getProperty("_root.center", _x));
}
if ((yspan*yspan)>0) {
setProperty("", _y, Number(getProperty("_root.center", _y))+Number((yspan*0.9)));
yspan = yspan-1;
} else {
setProperty("", _y, getProperty("_root.center", _y));
}
_x += (getProperty("_root.center", _x)-_root._xmouse)*.1;
_y += (getProperty("_root.center", _y)-_root._ymouse)*.1;


I'm not sure where to put a rollover conditional statement within the code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a link to show you how it works without the rollover effect:

Fuzzy Menu And Floating Movies
A couple of questions. I am using FlashMX 6.0 on XP in Dreamweaver MX.

I am creating a bar with several buttons for the top which I am including on
all of my other pages for navigation. When I preview the movie in Flash it
looks good and crisp, however, when I preview in Dreamweaver or IE6 it is
fuzzy. I have been able to reproduce the fuzzy problem in Flash by
selecting Show All when I preview and I can correct it by selecting 100%
from the right-click menu. I believe the problem would be solved if I could
set the movie to 100% automatically either in Dreamweaver or Flash. I have
not been able to locate where to set the movie to default at 100% in the
publish settings of Flash and the option is not available in Dreamweaver.
Can I hardcode it in Dreamweaver?

My other question is about Flash movies that go outside of the designated
"stage" area. I have seen movies on Amazon.com and other sites that have,
for instance, a dropdown menu that drops down into the html area of the
browser. How do I do this? My menu I spoke of above is a dropdown and as
of right now, when it drops down, you can't see it because the movie
dimensions are not extended to the length of the dropdown. If it were, the
Flash movie would be huge vertically. Thanks for the help.
