Flash :: MX Navigation Bug?

CuePoint Navigation Vs. CueSegment Navigation
Having problems throwing up a talking head slide show in MX2004 Pro.

1) The slider works going forwards, but not going backwards
2) The buttons seeking slides work going forward, but not going backwards

After talking with tech support, it seems the problem is with how they set up CuePoint navigation. Basically, a single time point = cue point triggers an event, which is a slide change. This is triggered from left to right in time, but not going the other way.

A slide show requires a different action script; however. It is not cue points that are linked with slides, but SEGMENTS in time are linked with STATES that correspond with a certain slide being in place.

Is there an action script expert out there who could help me program this into a slider that really works, going backwards and forwards?

If that is too ambitious, how can I subtract 300 milliseconds from q.time?

This will at least, hopefully, make the slide buttons work, since they will seek to a time point slightly before the actual cue point.

Navigation Help Please...
Hi everyone...
I'm currently building a website-like presentation and what I need to do goes like that:
I have three text blocks (not dynamic) that are the menus in which the user navigates.
I want to put like a box (which is a MC) around those text whenever the user has the mouse over the texts...
With actionscript I'd like to make this box float around, stopping over each option in the menu. Up till now I have three invisible buttons and whenever I rollover those buttons the box's _x property takes it to each text block, having no movement whatsoever. I could do that the "dirty way" by making several animations and framelabels with a whole bunch of goTo's but I'd like to learn the ActionScript way.
If you read this and it's still confusing, just reply and I'll answer your questions...
Thank you very much
Cheers

what i want to do is create 2 html files named #1=index.htm
#2=navigation.htm (navigation.htm is a pop-up)
all the movie clips will be playing in the index.htm and as you can guess i want the navigation menu in the navigation.htm then when you click a menu button in navigation.htm it will load in the index.htm
can this be done with actionscript ?

Navigation Using A/s
I'd like to recreate a reel of text that I saw on http://www.wax.co.uk, but use this technique as a form of navigation here's the web page.

http://www.wax.co.uk/site/index2.html

Check out one of the headings to see the wheel effect, and then I want to use this as a form of navigation to go from one wheel to another.

Thanks all.

I have a nav bar with five buttons that "vibrate" on rollover. When I click on one and go to the corresponding page, I would like additional options to appear under the button, like subnavigation. What is the best, most efficient way for me to do this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi all, I'm trying to make a small navigation movie. What I want is very simple. Basically I've the mc splitted in two parts, on one side I'll have a small size on the pic to browse with a small dragble square on the top of it; on the other side a bigger size of the same pic. When I drag the square on the little pic, the bigger one should move to the direction of the sqare.
Anyone has seen a such thing in the movie/tut section, or tell me what to do??

Thanx

hi there,
need your help badly for making good navigation.
i make simple navigation well but now the problem is this, i want to be little
professional, u know. let me give u a little hint,
My movie consists of four buttons i.e. button A, button B, button C, button D,
It starts like this that these buttons are present at right upper corner
like a menu.Now on clicking on button A movieclip 1 starts now if i click
on buton B movie clip 2 starts but i don't want this way [each movie clip consists of 50 frames
with action on 45th frame gotoAndPlay(1) ] I want to be like this
that when i click on button A or B or C or D its targeted movieclip 1 or 2 or 3 or 4
start respectively. suppose i have clicked on button B at start and now i click
on button C,now it should happen like this that first it play the remaining 5 frames of previous movieclip
and then play the movieclip 3.
In short whenever i click on any button it should first play the ending of previous
movieclip (last 5 frames of that particular movieclip) and then the movieclip which is
to be played.

i have tried my best to explain u which sort of navigation i want.
if u have any ideas or codes or advises and
please tell me about tutorials from which i can get
the basic idea.
all comments will be appreciated.

thanx

Navigation Help?
this is my second stab @ flash and I'm way over my head - I'm trying to emulate this - http://www.macromedia.com/home_movies/home_main.swf for a home page navigation for the next version of our site. The main difference is that the buttons on the left will be different colors - check out the fla file for more specs..

I've been told that what I'm trying to do is a simple rollover with movie clips. (Each button GET URL to open new page or Loadmovie In level. there is nothing fancy tho , only thing there is the rollover. Make a movie clip with color tween using motion or shape tween. In the same movie clip on first frame place button with roll over action to play this movie clip . It is pretty much it ...) and this is where I got with it -
http://www.rocksolidimages.com/flash/nav_attempt.fla

I know it's really crude but it's my second time..

I've also tried emulating

http://www.computerarts.co.uk/tutori...l.asp?id=30426

and all of the other navigation examples in flashkit and I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this. Should I be using actionscript or just simple tweens - you can't use on mouse event with movies, so you have to turn them into buttons, but what need to be buttons and what not.

Basically I'm wondering if anybody has any ideas on books or tutorials that can help me get any further than where I currently am (which is nowehere)

I have been having numerous problems trying to Set up my site's navigation. Let me explain what I have....Splash with two buttons(Load Intro, Skip Intro)...
Intro with 8 buttons.....8 separate.swf's.....Music Player.

I tried to load these movies on different levels...but there was too much conflict with buttons that remained active underneath. I also tried replacing movies on the same level, but that also failed.

Any input or reference would save me from going slowly insane.

Hey
here is what i would like to do
http://www.icelebration.org/studentz/330/index.fla

1. as you see the about button moves up when clicked, that is correct. when a button gets clicked it should play (A)Up, (L)Up etc

2. all other buttons should move down (this is from the first page they see) for example, if the links buttons is clicked, it should move up (or play mc AUp) and home, about, stuff, pics, and staff should all move down (they should play the (letter)Forward mc)

3. so now the links button is in the middle of the .swf and all the rest of the buttons have dimmed and moved down.

4. when the user clicks one of those dimmed buttons (let's say about) then the about switches places with the links button.

5. now the about button is moved up (mc AUp) and the links button is dimmed and moved down (mc LForward)

6. now when the home button is pressed all buttons should move to their original positions mc (letter)reverse

i hope you understand this! thank you very much for helping me out, i am slowly but surely learning!

Navigation: How Do I Do It?
I want to have a navigation with steps. It starts from a root, with 3 links. When one of the links is clicked, a sub-navigation of that link appears beside it.

For example (I used underscores instead of spaces because it erases the spaces; imagine the underscores as just spaces)

Nav________________Sub Nav

Information________Location
Downloads__________Who we are
Contact____________What we do

each of the links (Location, Who we are, and what we do) open up a popup, and they all are buttons. Likewise, there are other sections that appear in that same area for Downloads, and Contact.

how can I do this in flash?

Help Navigation Bug?
Ok, here's the deal: On my navigation (http://www.dholt.net)I have a little marker fly to the position of the button that is being hovered over. The button's actions are as follows:

on (rollOver){
_root.marker.gotoAndPlay(home)
}

This is so the marker flies to the position under the "home" button. The problem is, however, that the "rollOver" is only tracked every other time. Is it a bug in flash, or what??? Someone please Help! Thanks

I'm trying to create what seems should be simple navigation. I've put up what this looks like at: http://preview.ignitesports.com/design/house/nav.html.

What I need to happen is when you roll over a navigation item, there's an over animation that plays and then when you roll off, it STAYS at that state until you roll over another navigation, at which point an off animation is played for that previous button.

I know how this should functionally be done...I just don't know how to go about doing it. Basically, I need to set so that when a button is rolled over, it drops that info into a variable so that when the next button is rolled over, it tells a movie clip to go to play at a certain point. The movie clip would be defined in the variable. After that has been triggered, new info for the new active button needs to be dropped into the variable.

I know that's probably kind of confusing. I'm having a hard time explaining it. I can put up the fla file somewhere if some is willing to help.

FYI - I'm a designer learning the basics of actionscripting so THANK YOU so much ahead of time for dealing with me!

Us Map Navigation
Ok, I really need some help with this. I am new to flash so take it easy on me.

I was asked by my company to develop a interactive united states map navigation.

I developed a map of the us that I imported into flash mx. Ok this was easy. Next I wanted to add some cool feature that will allow the users to hover over the states and as eash state is hovered over by the users mouse the state would change to a green color.

So I made a graphics of each state with a down graphic (original color) and hover (green.)

Now I don't know actions but what I want to do is when the user hovers over there state it will change to green and then go to link off my website. I hope this makes sense. Can anyone give me some advise. Am I going about this wrong?

Thanks Arthur Grajeda

Navigation Help
Ok I am working on making a united states map into a navigation menu for my company.

As you hover over each State (Example: Texas, Florida, Cali..etc) a smaller image of that state appears below the map along with some info regarding that state.

This is what I did. I created an Up button and an over button so it gives the states a cool effect. Sort of looks like the states are being pushed in when you hover over each one. This is working fine. W'ell as I said earlier I also created a smaller image of that state to appear below the whole united states map along with some info regarding that state. W'ell that looked fine. Everything works, you hover over Texas and it gets pushed in and below the map you see Texas and some info. However when you are looking at the map and you start moving your mouse in the section below the map you can see all the states appearing in thier over state without even touching the map. I know this sounds confusing but the best way I could explain it. Can someone please help.

Should I create individual movie clips for each state then on over give some action that says play this movie (example Texas).

Hey guys, I just got Flash MX hoping to find some great tutorials and such on how to set up my site. Know i have one question that i can't seem to find a simple response to. Here it is:

I have a navigation system set up with text converted to bottons but now what do i do to have someone click on it and have it change the content in a specific area. Like Hyperlinks in a HTML site that navigates the person from lets say the home page to the gallery page. I don't just want code that i have to retype in things like names that relate to my flash file but i want to know how by either someone explaining it to me or a detailed tutorial that someone knows about that i haven't read yet. I know that I am asking alot but I am starting to get really really frustrated with Flash. If you can help me I will be ever so grateful.

Navigation Bar Help
Hey, I have a flash navigation bar and each button is set up to jump to a frame in the movie upon release. I wish to stop it from re-jumping to its own frame everytime it is clicked. I used this code below which works fine however It won't work with a frame name, it has to be a number. So when I shift things around in the movie I have to manually go through and change all the frame numbers.

on (release) {
if (_root._currentframe !=(11)
{
gotoAndPlay('firstpage');
}
}

Anyone know how to make a statement like:

on (release)
{
if (_root._currentframe !=('firstpage')
{
gotoAndPlay('firstpage');
}
}

Thanks
