Flash :: Moving Bars

Moving Bars
Hi All!

Can anyone suggest a tutorial for "moving bars." I know this might not be the proper term for it, so I snagged an example. If you click here and look at her navigation bar, you'll notice the orange and white bars moving. How would I go about doing this? I prefer a tutorial, using a visual-aid works better for me. If not, your reply is appreciated!

Thanks a bunch

Moving Bars
This is a little silly - but I am trying to find an fla with moving background bars - sometimes called "blinds" - overlapping bars that move back and forth. I created one on my own but am not thrilled with it. Does anyone know where I can find this? I think it's fairly common although my searches in the movie area didn't turn up anything.

Thanks.

Moving Sound Bars...
Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to synchronize movieclips with a sound (i.e. make a bar move up or down according to variations in the music) to give the feeling of audio levels.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Moving Lines/bars In Background
I'm new to Flash but have done a few very simple things for the company I work for. I was wondering, how would I go about creating the lines/bars in the background that are on the following site:

The Meridian Group

Are there any tutorials that explain this? I have seen it on a few sites and would like to replicate this in one of my own personal sites.

Thanks!

I'm Trying To Accomplish Moving Scroll Bars
I'm trying to make the moving scroll bars on the left side of the page, I basically want to try to re-create the menu on this site www.lindo.co.kr

Also, you know for each button you click on the menu, on the right hand side a big box with a small border opens right? For EACH link it has a box with different items inside, So for each link that you click on the menu, it opens up on the right side with a new box, does that mean that EACH link on the left is A separate movie clip that opens on the right? Each link is connected to a separate movie clip?

Can anyone help me. Thanks

Volume Bars Moving To The Amplitude Of The Sound?
You know like on winamp and some stero systems, the louder the little green bars that go up and down for the amplitude, and in specific decible ranges? is this possible and is there a tutorial somewhere with information on this?

EDIT : An example of what I mean is here on Flashkit in the Loops section when you preview a loop.

Thanks.

Moving Bars Conceal/reveal And Button Back Up?
Hello

Using Flash Prof 8...Couple of major things that I have no idea how to do...if you go to

http://www.enhancedwireless.net/Tech...Mechtest.shtml

and press play on the "ODMA" demo graphic (it's a work in progress not complete), you'll see the vise-like bars closing and shutting - I need for the text to be hidden then revealed as the bars move across the text...how do I do this? I'm newish to Flash so as detailed (code whatever) as you could be, would be appreciated greatly. Thanks in advance for your time.

And if you let the whole clip play to end (under :50) it jumps back to the beginning, which I want, but you'll notice that the "play_mc" button pops up then immediately disappears...I need it to stay on as at the beginning.

On the last frame (actions layer) of my main mc called keyMech_mc is this code:

gotoAndStop("Scene 1", 1);
_root.play_mc._alpha = 100;

My play button which is actually a movie clip, play_mc, has various alpha code for it on my main timeline on actions layer first frame as follows:

_root.KeyMech_mc.stop();

play_mc.onRollOver = function(){
this.gotoAndStop("over");
}
play_mc.onRollOut = function(){
this.gotoAndStop("out");
}
play_mc.onRelease = function(){
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
so = this;
rate = 5; // choose number between 1 and 100

newAlpha = so._alpha - rate; // subtract rate from current visibility
if(newAlpha > 0) { // continue fade
so._alpha = newAlpha; // set newVolume to decrease visibility

}else if(newAlpha == 0){
so._alpha = 0;
}

}
}

(ABOVE CODE WAS KINDLY GIVEN TO ME BY A FLASHKIT VIEWER)

===========

Just wanted you to have all the info possible re: this play_mc so I can get it to stay back up at the end of the movie...

And I'm really stumped as to how to do the revealing bars thing.

Thanks for any help!

[MX] Animated Menu Wit EQ Bars/Visualization Bars
Hi, I'm new. I've been around the world of flash, but I never really used it heavy. Only for buttons and sideshows. I want to try and make a navigation menu, with visualization bars in the background moving up and down as usual. Then put some buttons with a rollover effect. I know it is possible because I had used layers to have something animated in the background. Is it possible to do that? Does it kill a lot of bandwidth?

Slider Bars, Or Scroll Bars?
I'm looking at a web site that used scroll bars to move around a picture (.jpg) file. It is rather advanced since it also does a zoom in and out. I wanted to duplicate the pan feature, but I haven't seen it done anywhere else. Does anyone have any simple solutions to duplicate the features shown at this website?:

Help Required Progress Indicator Bars. NOT PRELOADING BARS AND NOT A PRELOADING QUE
Help required ! progress indicator bars. NOT PRELOADING BARS AND NOT A PRELOADING QUESTION!

OK I have a swf called audio.swf which just contains a 15 minute streaming audio file that it just dragged along the time line.

I want to have some visual indicators in the swf, so that the user has some info of what is going on:

What I require within the swf are the following:

1.Progress Bar: How much of the movie has been played. This will obviously go up as the timeline for the swf progresses.
2.Streaming bar: Giving the user an indication of the amount of swf that has currently been downloaded.
3.Time (minutes and seconds) that the movie clip has been playing for
4.Elaped time (time remaining)

As you can see I have attached no fla, as I am sure that these 4 visual indicators are all fairly simple to code of any of you action script daddies out there.

Any help on one or all the 4 things I require would be brilliant.

If anyone could help me this would be more than appreciated.
Cheers

Moving Vertical Bar Which Holds Moving Thumbnail Images When Mouse Is Over
Hi!

im not completely new to Flash MX - have utilised all basic animation tween/morphing /buttons
and very simple action script- movie controls - stop , back ,forward etc

however i need a moving bar feature, e.g. a moving news reel or a vertical bar which holds a number of images i.e.10 and
when the mouse is over - i want it to move downwards and when is not over the feature i want it to stop moving
(or even instaed of the feature to automatically scroll images i could also use a button to press to move through the images)

then: the thumbnail images from the moving feature i need to be selectable which then produces a larger version of the image on
another section of the page.

i dont no if i put this thread in the right forum!

if any one knows of any tutorials or has any suggestions to help implement this feature

i would appreaciate any help!
- dont really know where to start with it!
thanks

(i have looked at the flash kit tutorials but havent found what im looking for
dont even no if this is more of an animation or action script questions)

Slowly Moving Smoothly - Moving Photos And Pixel Smoothing
So, I'm slowly....very slowly moving a small thumbnail across my stage. The problem is that when the pic moves over a pixel it looks choppy, I want it to look smooth. The border of it looks especially choppy, it's distracting from the site.

Is there a pixel-smoothing option for the stage? or some equivalent?

Does my question even make sense?

Please help.
Thanks

Moving Running Forward But Elements Moving Off Stage
I'm positive I've done it by the book. All symbols on the stage - one by one dragged them off the stage creating timelines - about 6 layers. Play the movie and all the elements start on the stage and move off. Just the way I wanted it but in reverse. Simple vertical and horizontal motions. My mistake must have been in the beginning somewhere - but where ?

Help With My Bars
ok i found a cool site:

http://www4.tpgi.com.au/users/terorist/html/main.html

I want to replicate the nice menu bars that scroll on and off.

My version:

http://www.dekkershome.demon.co.uk

The problem is that i'm not coding it, when you roll-over a bar it moves the bar over and visa versa. If you move the mouse onto another bar before the original bar has finshed animating, they clog up. I need to find a way to reverse the animation while i can select other bars like in the original site.

can anyone help ?

I have attached my code

thanks

Moving Menu And Not (yet) Moving Arrows
Hi,

The title I guess say it all, huh?

But just to be sure.

I have a main menu wich goes right or left. Depends what categorie you choose. When it goes left I have to load a arrow movie wich goes left and for right has to load a moviw arrow which goes right (and not wrong). Thats means that there are two movies: arow left movie and arrow right movie. And both have to react at the moving menu, which were to load and play.
So first level would be the menu which ships from right to left.
Second level (under the menu) one of the arrow movie has to load depending which direction the movie goes.

(now Im confused. What was there I wanted??? A, right!)

I figured out that maybe its more confortable to load it from the library but also if it can be loaded from external files I dont mind. (I did the container thing before so I understand it a bit.

The arrow movies are movies played in the background, as the menu remains on top all the time.

The script for animating the menu is:

onClipEvent (load) {

_root.newposition = "null";

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

current = getProperty(_root.drop, _x);

if (_root.newposition<current) {

distance = current-_root.newposition;

setProperty("_root.drop", _x, current-(distance*.1));

}

if (_root.newposition>current) {

distance = _root.newposition-current;

setProperty("_root.drop", _x, current+(distance*.1));

}

}

Moving Objects: Moving Keyframes?
Can I move multiple layers on a timeline, so that they will all move. Basically I just want to move the location of the multiple layers.

Whenever I do this, it seems to move only some of them and thus the whole animation is messed, different starting points and ending points...a big mess.. It makes me want to cry.

Seems like there is an easy answer or I might just be the biggest chump on the planet.

Getting Rid Of Scroll Bars?
I am opening a new window with an swf embedded and I want no scroll bars. How can I achieve this?

Percentage Bars?
This is my first time on this board, so I hope i have the right forum for this!
I have been given a project where there is 7 questions, and the user must answer yes/no to them. (the questions are to the left, and the yes and no check boxes are to the right)
At the bottom of the screen they would like a 'live' bar (horizontal) that gives a percentage of how many questions they have answered yes and no to.
Basically the bar is colored red, and each time the user answers 'yes' to the question, the bar fills up with green. Since there is 7 questions, each question is worth 1/7. I know that the bar at the bottom needs a script that checks whether or not any of the checkboxes have been checked off or not, but I really have no clue where to begin with this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Scroll Bars
Hello all. I am working on a site that requires the use of a text field with scroll bars. Now, my problem is that I already have much of the site drawn on the stage, and it will not allow me to place the scroll bar so that it works. I have tried placeing it on a new layer, and a new scene. It will work if I create a new file but that does not help me with the site that I am currently working on.

Any answers.
Thanks in advance.
