Flash :: Movie Reel Turning

Turning A Movie Into A Button
Hi

I would like to turn 8 small movies into buttons. I am pretty sure I can do that. What I would like to know is how would I get the individual movie to become brigter on a mouse roll over. I do not want to do a swap symbol with the same version of the movie only brighter. I do not want that because then the movie would have to start over. I want slight brightness (or even tint might do) on roll over in whichever spot the movie is playing. I also want the brightness to go away when the mouse rolls off.

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,

Turning Off A Movie Clip
I have an embedded video in a movie clip. I have a.s. it so it stops at a certain frame in the timeline. In that frame I also display a button that when releases plays another movie clip. My question, Is there a way to turn the first movie clip off when the button is released? All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Turning Off Tab Selection On Your Movie
Does anyone know how to script a program that can turn off the tab command on your flash player?

When I developed a movie with multiple buttons and when I press the tab the flash player will highlight your button with a yellow box and if you press enter it will take you to that button that's highlighted. Is there like an fscommand, or code to turn it off??? Thanks..

Turning An Fla Into A Movie Clip
I've a complex fla and can't seem to turn the whole thing into a movie clip to add to another fla. What's the easiest way to do this?

Turning Off Movie Clips
Hey there,
I am almost there. I have these animated menus that kick in when you roll over them. See www.stephanieerdel.com/headermov.swf . The only problem is that I don't know the command to turn the movies off when you roll off them. If I do a rollOut event handler on the child button, it stops the movie before it's done playing.

I basically want it to play the movie while your mouse is over the link and the sublinks but when you roll off the sublinks or the main link then the movie stops playing. Is this an OnClipEvent? If so, then what is the command? And what level do I write the actionscript on?

Thanks for your help,

Turning A Movie Clip On/off
I have written this script for a button to turn a movie clip on or off. I want it to set the movie clip's opacity to 0 if it is already at 100 or to 100 if it is already at 0. But it will only set it to 0 if it is 100. Can anyone tell me why my script doesn't work?

on(release) {
if (this.Highlights._alpha = 100) {
setProperty("Highlights", _alpha, "0");
setProperty("HighlightsButton",_alpha, "50");
} else {
setProperty("Highlights", _alpha, "100");
setProperty("HighlightsButton", _alpha, "100");
}
}

Turning A Movie Into A Button.
Hi,
I am having problem... I can not figure out how to turn a flash 5 movie file into a button that will call up a web page when clicked on.
Like the type you see on websites. There is an add that is a flash file you click the movie as it is playing and it takes you to a different web site.
Thanks so much.

[CS3] Turning A Movie Clip Into A Link
I want my movie clip to play when I click it then when its done I want it to forward to another page.. I already made it so the movie plays when being clicked.. all i need to know now is how to make the movie forward to another page once finished playing.

Hope that made sense. Been working on it for awhile and my brain can't seem to think of any other way to explain it ;-) hehe know what I mean?

Thanks

Turning Off Movie Clips On Roll Out
Can anyone tell me how I can make my movie clips turn off when someone rolls off them? Please check out :

www.stephanieerdel.com/headermov.swf

When you roll off my movieclips the sub-menus still stay open and I would like them to close. The rollOut command closes the whole movie before the whole thing opens up. So it has to be another command. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Stephanie

Turning Sound Off And On In A Movie Clip
Hi all,
really need help with this one! I have created an animation with an audio track in a seperate movie clip. I have been told for various reasons that if I want to put it on a certain site I have to have a button that will turn the dialogue off. Is there a simple bit of ActionScript that I could attach to a button to switch it off and on a bit like the visible = 0; command?
This would be saving me a lot of stress, thanks in advance!

Demo Reel
I'm not sure if this is posted in the wrong forum. If it is, sorry

Ok, this is what I need done. First of all, if you have been to my site you know that my sister and I are a brother-sister tap team. We are looking to make a demo reel using some of our video clips that we have.

Now, I have no idea where to start .

If someone could please contact me on any of the instant messenger programs, or email me at michael@twofortap.com to help me, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you, and I hope to hear from someone soon!

[F8] Help With Photo Reel
nevermind..

Cotton Reel
here's a little thing i made whilst i was messing around.

my idea was to create a 'cotton reel' that is on a spring so that you can pull string from it, and when you loosen your string, it rolls back up.

take a look
[swf=http://www.kirupa.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=13863]height=700 width=700[/swf]

[edit]updated it so it's smoother when you roll over it - my friend complained [/edit]

Help With Picture Reel
I'm creating a picture show reel. It's very basic, but it's only for learning purposes. As far as I can tell, the Actionscript is correct. It's supposed to show three slides, but instead it's showing four. And the first two are overlapping each other. Can someone take a look at it for me? Thanks. I'll also post the code. It might be fruitless though if not looking at the FLA. It can be obtained from here

center = Stage.width/2;
cellWidth = reel_mc.cell_mc._width;
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
leftStop = center-reel_mc._width+cellWidth/2;
rightStop = center-cellWidth/2;
reelSpeed = (_xmouse-center)/10;
reel_mc._x += reelSpeed;
if (reel_mc._xrightStop) {
reel_mc._x = rightStop;
}
};
function NewCell(num, details) {
oldClip = _root.reel_mc.cell_mc;
newClip = oldClip.duplicateMovieClip("cell"+num, num);
newClip._x = num*300;
}

NewCell(1, "");
NewCell(2, "");
NewCell(3, "");

Thanks for any help,

Turning On Movie Clips Within The Main Clip
This might be a very stupid question, but is it possible to load a movie clip dynamically into the main clip, and have some AS on that loaded clip that tells another clip, already in the main clip from the start, to play???

I know how to do this when it involves two dynamically loaded clips...

onClipEvent (load) {
loadMovie("pic1.swf", _root.target);
}

But what about when the clip is already sitting there, ready to be played???

For example, if pic1 was a movie clip and not a SWF file, and it had a stop on the first frame....can I get an onClipEvent to play it from frame 2?

Turning My Flash Files Into A Userfriendly Movie
Hey all.
I'm trying to get a job, which explains why i have so many damn posts up. My brilliant idea is to use my website and turn it into a userfriendly movie (sort of like a slide show) that i can drop off to firms on a burned cd.

So far i was going to leave all my linking swfs as is, toss it in a folder make an alias and burn it to the cd. My issue is what if they dont have a flash player or what if their account managers are in charge of hiring and they use a pc. Is there any universal file that i can turn my movies into that would work?

Should I just assume that because they are a design firm that they have flash player on their desktop?

I've got about three days before i go out of town and do this.

Picture Reel Problem
*~ Made Using : FlashMX ~*

But that's me newbie ) Anyway when the pictures load up they don't load in the position of placeholder_mc and only one of them actually shows up? I need to know why they wont show in place? If you need to see the file I have ZIP'd it up and attatched it to this post with the pictures to.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I kinda need help A.S.A.P. so if you can be as quick as possible.

Old Film Reel Effect
How can I do an old fashion film effect with scratches, the number countdown, and maybe even the sound of it all too? Is there a tutorial out there that will help? I am not sure if it would have to be a separate movie loaded on top of the main movie I want to show though.

Scrolling Picture Reel
Hi I need some help please. I am trying to accomplish a scrolling pic reel exactly like the one on this website http://www.lomamedia.com/V1.html. I want it in a bottom, scrolling continously without any pause or break in between and so far i have came up with this code only

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x += 3
}

If someone knows the correct script please help. I can only use actionscript 1 that is what's compatible with my editor.

Embedding A Demo Reel F8
What is the most effective way of showing video on the web?
Do I embed a flash video on my flash site or open a seperate url
as a quicktime or wmv?

Do I need a seperate streaming app or is flash effective enough?
The demo reel needs to be small but still have sharp image, It will be higher quality than normal as it is an efx reel.

Any ideas?

Scrolling Reel Problem
I created a continous slide show usind the scrolling reel tuturial. The show works fine, the problem is when I load slideShow.swf into another movie clip in another movie.

I want the slideShow.swf to play when a certain button is pushed. So far in the home timeline on the first frame of the actions layer I have this:

button.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.section != "slideShow.swf") {
_root.section = "slideShow.swf";
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing");
}
};

the movie clip that the slideShow.swf is loading into has an instance name of "container."

This is the code on the first line of the slide show

slide_number = 17;

reel_speed = 1;
slide_count = 3;
m1 = _root.content.slide_1;
m2 = _root.content.slide_2;
m1._x = 0;
m1._y = 0;
m2._x = 600;
m2._y = 0;
_root.content.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.content.moveLeft(reel_speed);
};
function moveLeft(nPixels) {
m1._x -= nPixels;
m2._x -= nPixels;
if (m1._x<-600) {
m1 = _root.content["slide_" + slide_count];
slide_count = slide_count += 1;
if (slide_count > slide_number) {
slide_count = 1;
}
m1._x = 550;
m1._y = 0

}
if (m2._x<-600) {
m2 = _root.content["slide_" + slide_count];
slide_count = slide_count += 1;
if (slide_count > slide_number) {
slide_count = 1;
}
m2._x = 550;
m2._y = 0;
}
}

What I have noticed is the first slide loads corectly, but then the rest don't work. Do I have a wrong path for all of the slides except for slide_1?

Flash Demo Reel: What's The Best Way To Put This Together?
Hey all,

I'm putting together a demo reel of a variety of Flash projects we've done.

I would like the resulting file to be controllable with a Flash controller, meaning I'd like users to be able to pause it, rewind, fast forward or scrub through it.

I already have a component for the VCR style controller but how would you suggest putting the various pieces together in a way that it will be controllable?

- Should I bring in each of the various Flash movies as a separate scene in an external movie, then export it as a SWF and load it into a holder MC?

- Should I bring each of the various movies into a separate slide? Would slides even work with a controller?

Is there a comletely different way altogether? What do you guys think?

Script To Move A Reel Of Pics?
Hi there

I have a website I'm working on, and I have the stage 700x400 filled with the first image from a reel of pics (the reel has 5 pics, each 700x400).

I want it to work so that when I click on one of the buttons, the reel moves along to the next pic in line (gliding in, not just budging up). I guess that means once you've clicked 4 buttons, it will start moving backwards? Not sure, to be honest.

Any ideas what kind of thing I need for this?

All help gratefully received.

Dynamic News Reel From XML - That Doesnt Scroll
Hi All,

Okay, I've created a flash (using MX) that I hard coded to have buttons (text w/ clear background) that scroll up to a point, stay there for 20 seconds or so and then scroll back down the way it came; then the next button scrolls up and so on ...

What I'd like to do is make this dynamic - meaning have a new button be created & placed into the animation dynamically from the text of a XML document (aka - not imaged based). That being said, though I've patched together a nice gallery using a similar technique, I'm really clueless on how to apply that to this. Creating/loading the XML I think I can handle. What I dont know is how to have the flash have the animated intro I want - then dynamically create all of the buttons (basically putting the new text on the clear background w/ the correct as link listed in the xml), have them go up then back down & move to the next. Then when all of the buttons are done, have the closing animation.

Does anyone know how to do what Im hoping to do? Know of any good tutorials on this (I've found things close but they arnt close enough)? Am I even being clear?

Thank you for any help you can toss me.

Creating A Showreel/demo Reel With Flash Movies
Hi,
I want to make a showreel/demoreel of my flash character animation work as opposed to making a portfolio website. It is purely flash movies with no interactivity and so I want to make a linear showreel (or just very long movie of my work). I have just found that it is near impossible to import flash .swf files as quicktime movies into After Effects as AE 7 doesn't seem to read the quicktime movies, or quicktime doesn't read the swfs, I don't really know.

Does anyone know of a quick way to edit my flash movies into a demo reel format? Are there any freeware packages that I could use. I would want to ouput to either swf or a quicktime file.
Many thanks in advance.

Turning A Flash Movie Into A "Page".
I have created a flash movie with three scenes- opening, main, and a pictoral movie. The dimensions are built to fit a 17 inch monitors browser window (773x966high). I can view the page in a browser (IE only) in SWF format, but it is larger than the screen and there are no scrolling bars to assist the viewer in moving for optimum visability.

Im at the point where i want to publish my beta version (the page) but I need it scale by percent, and I REALLY need those scroll bars. I can finger out the scale to fit part.

Advice?
i have the following programs, Flash5 (built with).
