Trouble With My Meny, Wont Retract
in the scene "4004", I have these menus on the top that I put together with the help from a file I found on here.

When you go over the "how to populate" icon in the upper right hand corner, the menu slides down, but it does go back up and hide when your mouse leaves the menu!

I am sure Its something very simple I have left out, but dang it. I cant figure it out.

Also, I have a template, that when you go over it, it expands. I need that template to blow up so the viewer can see the template a bit more clearly, but my mouse only works if he clicks right in the middle, and not in the full template size.

Thanks.

Complex Problem: Meny + Movie Problems
Hi guys

This is a rather complex problem that i dont think you can handle..

I have a meny ( meny.swf ) that have a movement when i click on, lets say meny1. When i have done the first movement i get to frame 2. There i load a new movie ( movie1.swf ). The problem is that when i am in the middle of the second movie ( movie1.swf ), you can still press some of the meny links.
When a person presses the meny link in meny.swf i want a smooth outgone from the loaded movie ( movie1.swf ) to the movement in the meny.
How do i do this? Is there an example that i can look at?

I know that it is a rather complex problem! The files are to big to attach here..

Any solutions anyone? Any example that i can look at?
Regards
Lunkan

Arrow Keys And Enter Meny System
Hi,

I am trying to create a retroish game and have a few features working but now need a menu system. Most older games use the arrows keys and enter for menu navigation.

i was wondering if such a meny system has already been created as it is a simple feature that i am sure someone has made before. If you do know of one can you post it here or give me a link?

thanks in advanced

Trying To Make A Formula To Make My Stickman's Head Adjust To The Direction He Moves
Ok, im making a little "walk around" movie clip...

you click he moves...

heres my .fla for the 2nd (main) question
My .Fla

I have 2 questions

the simple one first

Question 1 how do I flip an image, in the Graphic interface of flash pro 8, you can go to modify - transform, and flip it CCW + 90, CW + 90, or flip it horizontally or vertically, how can I do this in actionscript? my animation's name is "man"

Main Question

How do I write a formula to adjust my guys head so when he goes "left" or right, his head is thinner, (like your looking on him sideways)

and when he goes up/down, to be bigger so basically

when he's going up and down his head width is about 20-30, and when he's going left/right, its about 5-10

I've been trying for about 1 and a half hours, with no success

all my code:

Code:
var TargetX:Number = 200;
var TargetY:Number = 150;
var man_height:Number = man._height;
var man_width:Number = man._width;
var head_width:Number = man.head._width;
var head_height:Number = man.head._height;
var head_x:Number = man.head._x;

function clicked_spot()
{
TargetX = _xmouse-man_width;
TargetY = _ymouse-man_height;
}

function move_man()
{
man.head._width = 10;
//man.head._x = 20

if (TargetX > man._x-20)
{
man._x += 1;
}
else if(TargetX < man._x-20)
{
man._x -= 1;
}
if (TargetY > man._y-5)
{
man._y += 1;
}
else if(TargetY < man._y-5)
{
man._y -= 1;
}
}
setInterval(move_man, 10);
ground.onRelease = clicked_spot;
thanks in advance

Make One Box Move On Roll Over, Make Other Box Move On Click
Okay here's the story: I have one box that moves the way I want it to on roll over, moves over my nav buttons and stays over them after you click one of them. The clicked button becomes where the box snaps back to. I have another box that I want to stay where it is until you click on a button. If you click on a button the box will move under the button that I have clicked on. Every attempt so far to get the second box to do that usually negates the other box's ability to do anything. Please, any help or suggestions?

Can't Make A Right-click Menu? Make A Middle-click Menu
Since so many people are always wanting to make a context menu that appears at the mouse position, and because it's such a pain to get rid of the flash right-click menu (and the methods i've seen are not cross browser) I decided to go about finding a way to make a middle-click menu. Most mice these days have a mousewheel and the vast majority of those mousewheels also act as a 3rd button if you push down on them. So here is the result of my labor. A way to detect the middle mouse up and down actions in Flash.

Code:
Mouse.toggle = false;
setInterval(TestMidMouse, 40);
function TestMidMouse() {
if (asNative(800, 2)(4) == true && Mouse.toggle == false) {
Mouse.broadcastMessage("onMidMouseDown");
Mouse.toggle = true;
} else if (asNative(800, 2)(4) == false && Mouse.toggle == true) {
Mouse.toggle = false;
Mouse.broadcastMessage("onMidMouseUp");
}
}
myListener = new Object();
myListener.onMidMouseDown = function() {
trace("middle button down");
};
myListener.onMidMouseUp = function() {
trace("middle button up");
};
Mouse.addListener(myListener);
In case you're wondering, asNative is an undocumented feature of flash. It refers to the native function table that resides in the flash player. asNative(800, 2)(4) returns true or false depending on weather the middle mouse is down or up respectively. FYI, replacing the 4 with other numbers activates for other buttons (including keyboard keys). 1 is left click, 2 is right click, 3 doesn't seam to do anything, 4 is the middle mouse button, 5 is a 4th mouse button if mouse has one. Here is the most extensive reference for the asNative function that I have found. I suppose you could do the same thing with Key.isDown(), but messing with undocumented stuff is so much cooler .

If anybody does know a way to get rid of flashes right-click menu, reliably and across multiple browsers please post it here because this method could easily be converted into right-click detection.

How To Make Something Like This?
http://www.pensioengatpeiler.nl/media/flash.swf

Does anyone have a tutorial, FLA, or example?
I`m not a very good actionscripter.......

Thanks!

How Can I Make Something Like This...
Hi
I'm going to make an swf with 2 buttons for viewers to choose from in scene 1 and then say, if button 1 is clicked, scene 2 will start and then scene 3; if button 2 is clicked, scene 2 & scene 4 will start in sequence.

In this case, the buttons determine whether scene 3 or 4 would come out, they have little to do with scene 2 because scene 2 must start after one of the buttons clicked.

My question is, what script should I use to make flash know whether scene 3 or 4 should start after scene 2 finish playing?

Thanks

How To Make
hello,
scoured the board but couldn't find exactly my poblem...
I want to make a navigation system that loads movies for the different sections, as well as nav button/movieclips that display their "down" state when the section they
represent is active. I've gotten a portion working with the following code:
function sectLoad (i) {
targetClip = "nav"+i;
loadClip = "sec"+i;
sectionNow = "sect"+i;
set (sectionNow, true);
loadMovie (sections, _root.loadClip);
_root.targetClip.gotoAndStop(4);
//
trace ("targetClip = "+targetClip);
trace ("loadClip = "+loadClip);
trace ("sectionNow = "+sectionNow);
trace ("sect0 = "+sect0);
trace ("sect1 = "+sect1);
trace ("sect2 = "+sect2);
trace ("sect3 = "+sect3);
trace ("sect4 = "+sect4);
trace ("sect5 = "+sect5);
}
// set the section # and nav state
message._visible = false;
var sect0 = false;
var sect1 = false;
var sect2 = false;
var sect3 = false;
var sect4 = false;
var sect5 = false;
var sections = new Array("overview.swf", "composer.swf", "bandleader.swf", "pianist.swf", "jukebox.swf");
var i = 0;
sectLoad(i);
stop ();
I am loading swfs into separate mc's but would like only the active section visible...wondering if anyone else has tried this? i can mail the files if needed.
thanks,
charlie
