Flash :: Newbie Flash Help: Animating Buttons

Newbie Question About Buttons And Animating.
I've built a character and broken it down into symbols on multiple layers, with one set of animation for idle, and one for action. What I need to do is set up the character so when he's clicked, it plays from frame "____", the action animation. I know the basics of making buttons and movie clips--sort of, but am confused as how to apply them all in this kinda setting. Any help please?

Newbie Question - Animating A Border In Flash
Hi guys,

I'm realtively new to Flash, and would like to create the following effect:

My movie has a border (a rounded rectangle) which I would like to start at nothing and "draw" itself around the page.

Can anyone give me pointers as to how to do this please? I assume it has something to do with motion tweening along a path, but I can't get the border to be "one" editable object (it is created as 4 sides and 4 corners, and if combined it is not editable).

I would then like to export this as a clip to use in my site.

Many thanks!

Martin

[MX04] Flash Buttons Animating On Its Own
I am trying to create some flash buttons for my site, but when I go to place several buttons on the stage, the first couple work normally, but the other buttons act like Im in the over state and animate. The only thing I can figure is that it is getting confused from the other buttons on the stage, and thinking they are being hovered over, but I don't have a clue about a solution. Any help would be appreciated.

Animating Newbie
Hiya i've just been skimming some of the older posts for an answer but havent seemed to answer my questions fully. I have read alot about why scenes shouldn't be used but I am hoping someone can provide a description of how to use movie clips instead of scenes or "importing additional swf's dynamically" instead of scenes. How do you do this and how do they replace scenes? THANKS!

Newbie Needs Help With Animating Text
I have a couple of projects that require me to make some text turn into an animated graphic and I would like to ask for some help, especially with what Program(s) to use.

An example of one of these projects is;
Bold, White text on a colored gradient background, at the top of the image area, centered horizontally and reading - H2O
This Text then 'Morphs' into a graphic of a (White Water) Drop and then falls straight down out of sight.

Can someone suggest some 'Newbie Friendly' program(s) that I can use to achieve such effect(s)?

With appreciation

Flash Newbie Alert - Movieclip That Contains Buttons
Greetings all!

I have a navigational bar that I am constructing. I have a button(category) that when the user moves over it, a movieclip plays which "rolls down" a menu of buttons under the category. The buttons are embedded in the movieclip. Here's the problem. I need the menu to stay where all the buttons are showing until the user moves out of the area of the menu itself. Right now I can make it where when the user moves off of the category button, the menu rolls back up, but that keeps one from using the embedded buttons in the MC. The buttons in the movieclip do work with this scenario.

If I apply the roll off actionscript to the movieclip itself it will roll back up like I want it to correctly when the user rolls off the area, but none of the buttons within the menu work at all.

I don't know or understand much of actionscript so any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope you understand what I am trying to accomplish. If I am going about this all wrong, please let me know. This is a rush job and I am probably going to be up all night banging my head against a wall if I can't figure this out. Thanks again for any help.

Newbie: Import Buttons To Existing Flash Movie?
Program Version: Flash MX
OS: Windows XP Pro
--------------------------------------------

I've always had Flash on my PC at the office, but never had a chance to use it until now.

I've been playing around all morning attempting to get a button that I downloaded and modified from this site onto my main Flash project.

My current project: http://www.rdi1.com/personal/banner_flash_-_01.fla

My button: http://www.rdi1.com/personal/button_flashing_-_home.fla

I've imported the button to the library as a .fla and a .swf, played with setting the library item as an image, movie, and a button, but I really don't know what I'm doing...I'm just testing.

I'm sure there are no magic buttons in Flash to import external buttons and make them work, so somebody please point me to a tutorial or help file somewhere.

Thanks so much,
Matt

Re: Animating Buttons
Thanks ahead for the help!!

I have a Flash opener for a website that has a bar of multiple images slowly scrolling across the page.
The client would like the scroll to stop on rollover and play on rollout and I have that accomplished.
If and when the user clicks on a passing portion of the scrolling image, I would like that portion to send(navigate) them to another scene.

Is there any way to place INVISIBLE buttons over the individual images within the symbol?

Reverse Animating Buttons
I have seen (on one of the featured sites this month - jimmymcgrathphoto.com) a neat little trick for buttons.

Basically when you are 'over' a button, a short movie animates the button, but and heres the main point, when you move off the button, the animation plays back and smoothly returns to it's original position.

I believe these are 'reverse animating buttons', and have been informed that there is a nice tutorial on Flash Kit somewhere... can I find it???
I have looked everywhere and done several searches with no luck!!
Can anyone help, a direct link to the page would be nice.
Moderators? do you know where it is??

Animating Buttons On ROLLOUT Only
I am very new to Flash and this is my first post here. With that said...

I am trying to create a button that will animate on a rollout only. I have a Movie Clip Symbol created that I want to replace my OVER Graphic Symbol on the occasion of a rollout.

Basically I have a button that comes out at you on rollover, and if the user chooses not to click on it and rolls off of it, I want it to slowly slide back into place.

Thanks

Problem With Animating Buttons
Hi all,

Just made an animated button by creating 3 different states on a timeline; 'over', 'down', 'return'. The TEXT animates (moves down) on mouseover, among some other things that happen. I was happy with the button so decided to duplicate it and rename all the copies bio, contact, etc. and when I drag the 'bio' copy onto the stage, and click inside the text field to rename it 'bio' to replace the word 'home', it changes all buttons to bio.

How can I copy the buttons, but change the text and make the text animate for each different button, all with different names? Do I have to create the button first without the text, copy a bunch of buttons, then add animating text to each one with different names? Seems a bit time-consuming..hopefully I'm just overlooking something that tells flash to treat them as different buttons, even though they share the same animating properties.

Thanks in advance!
-Casper

[F8] Animating MovieClips/Buttons
Hey, I working on a photo Album project. There are some thumbnails in a column that animate up and down depending on where you put your mouse over them, then stop animating once you rollOut. The only problem is that now the movieClips that are nested inside (the thumbnails themselves) lost their functionality (they're supposed to load up a photo in another section). I guess that this is because the movieClip is executing the animation functions and can't do the others at the same time. I tried to fix it by creating an invisible mc and placing it over it with all of the animating actions on it, to sort of free up the actions of the little thumbnails. This didn't work - same problem. I hope I'm not being too confusing. Thanks ahead of time.

http://jtnatoli.googlepages.com/base.fla

slideShow is the thumbnails, slideShow2 is the full size photos.

Animating Buttons With Rollover
I have very little experiance with flash. Im trying to animate some buttons with mouse rollsover. Im using a motion tween to have images fade in and out. I can teach myself all the graphic stuff on it, but I think i need action scripting to do this. I had an .fla, but trashed it so that I could start over fresh. Does anyone know where I can find out how, or anyone willing to help. Thanks

Animating Buttons With Actionscript?
Hey guys, here's another one I'm having trouble with (no surprise there =P). I picked up a site I half did a long time ago, when I knew a lot less about Flash. Since I knew so little, I made the timeline very dense (ie 100 things on 1 layer lol), so here's my problem: I have some buttons on there that I'd like to do some rollover animations on, but since the timeline is so dense, if I put a tween on them, it would royally screw everything up. Any way I can do a simple animation (ie gradual alpha or color change), as if it was a tween, except with actionscript? Thanks for any and all help, I really do appreciate it.

Animating Function Generated Buttons
below is some script which i am using to create a submenu, i have been trying to add to it to make the buttons 'slide out'
(i.e. one moving to the right into a position then generating the next button where the first stopped and sliding to a new position and so on..)

i've been trying to use the setInterval command with no joy and am wondering if im barking up the wrong tree.

can anyone point me in the right direction?

// generate submenu
function gensubmenu() {
_root.attachMovie("submenu_mc", "submenu", 2, {_x:50, _y:200});
for (n=0; n<_root.selectedCount; n++) {
_root.submenu.submenuItem.duplicateMovieClip("subm enuItem_"+n, n);
currentItem = _root.submenu["submenuItem_"+n];
currentItem.labelName = _root.selectedNames[n];
currentItem.frameName = currentItem;
if (n != 0) {
prevItem = _root.submenu["submenuItem_"+(n-1)];
currentItem._x = prevItem._x+(prevItem._width-prevItem._height);
}
}
_root.submenu.submenuItem._visible = false;

Backwards-animating Buttons, With A Twist
I'm making navigation buttons in Flash MX. Here are my files:

http://www.75thtrombone.com/contest/contestbutton2.html
http://www.75thtrombone.com/contest/contestbutton2.swf
http://www.75thtrombone.com/contest/contestbutton2.fla

The text and link are passed through the FlashVars parameter in the HTML.

The movie has an animation (naturally). These are the effects I want:

1) Movie begins paused.
2) When movie is rolled over, the animation plays and stops on the last frame.
3) When the movie is rolled over while the last frame is showing, I want the animation to play backwards and stop at the first frame.
4) When you continuously hover over the movie, I do >>NOT<< want it to go back and forth constantly. I want it to STOP until the mouse is moved off of the movie and back on again.
5) The ENTIRE TIME, the movie should be clickable to take you to the linked page.

I have succeeded at 1, 2, and 3. I'm stuck on 4 and 5.

I have three transparent buttons over the movie. One exists on the very first frame; this begins the animation. One exists on the very last frame; this calls a movie clip that "rewinds" the movie. One exists on all frames inbetween; this acts simply as a link. The "rewind" movie clip exists on all frames EXCEPT the first one.

My problems are:

1) Holding the mouse over the movie causes it to constantly go back and forth.
2) I have assigned the same on (release) script to the play/rewind buttons as I did to the link button. However, it works ONLY on the link button, as clicking on the first or last frames does not link.

Thanks in advance for any help,
-Lanny Heidbreder

Animating A Drop Down Menu W/ Mc's And Buttons
Hi,

I'm trying to make a animated menu. the menu consists of buttons and movie clips. when a cursor hovers the button the actionscripting targets a movie clip and plays the "slidedown" frames animation revealing the real menu. when hovering off the button, and lets say moving to another button that consist of another menu, i have the actionscripting target the "slideup" frames animating the movie clip menu back upwards and hiding it.

I am a complete novice to actionscripting so i made a layer on my timeline just for actions and used the basic:

ActionScript Code:
this.MainNews.onRollOver = function() {this.MenuNews.gotoAndPlay("slidedown");};this.MainNews.onRollOut = function() {this.MenuNews.gotoAndPlay("slideup");};

that didn't work. then i tried putting the actionscripting on the button itself:

ActionScript Code:
on (rollOver) {this.MenuNews.gotoAndPlay("slidedown");}on (rollOut) {this.MenuNews.gotoAndPlay ("slideup");}

that worked. it animates down and up. the problem i'm having though, is that when i tried to test the movie clip menu, i'm hovering off the button and it animates up, and i can't use the menu.

my question is, is there a way that i can have the button trigger the mc menu on rollover and allow me to use the menu, then when i move onto another button or roll onto other parts of my header the menu for the button i was just on rolls back up?

I'm not sure whether i'm on the right road with this one, and i'm trying the best i can to use trial and error before asking for someones help, but i've been tackling this for awhile now.

I also apologize if i'm not clear on what i'm asking. I have no previous knowledge of actionscripting and i'm currently learning so all the terminology is still unclear to me.

thank you to whoever can help with this problem, its very much appreciated.

Buttons That Continue Animating After Mouse Rollover
hello

I'm trying to make a button with quite a common effect, that is, it animates while you are over it, and also animates to its starting position after[i] the mouse moves off it.

Like on this site:
http://www.christinavarro.com/flash.html

the buttons at the bottom go smoothly up and down.

I found a tutorial for a similar effect and it worked, it was a button inside a movie clip, BUT, when i tried to add simple frame actions like:
on (release){
gotoAndPlay("frame10")
}
or similar, to the movie clip, it didn't work.

is there any way of making these nice button effects?
please help if possible!

[CS3/AS2] Animating A Menu From Forward And Back Buttons
I have a long menu of horizontal thumbnails. When I press the Next button I want the whole thing to move say 100 pixels forward and then 25 back. With the Prev button I want to do the opposite.

I've been looking at tween classes and I believe I understand them to a degree. I know how to do two tweens at the same time, but how do I do two consecutive tweens from a single button press?

Also I understand how to move an MC from its current position to specific coordinate on the stage, but how do I move it a certain amount of pixels from its current spot instead?

Animating 2 Buttons Linked On An Axis, For Mouseover.
HELP!
I'm a rookie at flash and need some help to get started. On my index page I have 2 links (one a picture of a camera and the other a picture of a cocktail. I want the 2 images or buttons to be linked on an axis, with the axis being in the middel of the 2 images. So if you imagine a camera and a cocktail on a invisible tray. When you rotate the tray, the camera gets bigger and comes towards the viewer, and the cocktail rotates away from the viewer becoming smaller. And when the tray is rotated the other way, the camera goes smaller to the back and the cocktail rotates closer to the viewer. So when the cursor is over the camera it will rotates closer and the cocktail rotates to the back, and vise versa.
I want it to look realistic with the perspective changes as well so i will photography the items myself in the different states.

Where do I begin? Is this a motion tweening thing and/or actionscript? Any help is much appreciated, thank you...

Just need some help to get pointed in the right direction...

Disabling Buttons Until Fuse Has Finished Animating
Hi everyone,

Got a problem that I thought may be shared with the experts if people didn't mind looking over it.

Be gentle, i'm a rookie to say the least.

I'm working on a project:

http://81.201.129.35/~seekingfisher/index.php

You can grab the source files here:
http://81.201.129.35/~seekingfisher/files.zip

My problem is that once the Fuse animation is complete the movie.swf does not move to the next frame which enables the buttons.

My set up as follows:

1. I have a container.swf that has a preloader, and a loadMovie function that loads in movie.swf (the content)

2. movie.swf has its own preloader and when complete it is supposed to play the Fuse animation (which it does) then move to the next frame which enables the buttons.

The reason I set it up this way is because if the code for the buttons was all on the same frame with the Fuse code when user interacts with the buttons during the animation sequence they fail to load in correctly.

So to recap, once Fuse is finished animating the movie.swf that is loaded externally into a container.swf, movie.swf will not move to the next frame that has the code in to re-enable the buttons container within it.

I'm almost certainly sure I'm going about this in completely the wrong way and any advice would be greatly appreciated!

:D Hope I explained that ok

Controlling Animating Walking Character With Arrow Buttons
Hello - I'm a newbie, especially to using message boards, and I just got some great help from TonyPa in this forum and I thought I'd post this here since I had such a hard time finding info on making characters walk in Flash.

To do this, you have to have already created your walk animation. Mine was a movie clip that consisted of 6 frames (steps), you can do this many different ways of course. But here's the basic principle:

Put a "stop" on last frame of walking_animation

Put this code on the instance of clip on stage:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(key.LEFT)) {
//^^tells to move with left arrow key
this._xscale = 100;
//^^tells to face normal direction
this._x -= x+12;
//^^affects pixel distance travelled (speed)
play();
//^^tells clip to play while key is pressed
} else if (Key.isDown(key.RIGHT)) {
//^^tells to move with right
this._xscale = -100;
//^^makes character face opposite direction - "100" keeps same scale
this._x += x+12;
//^^affect pixel distance travelled (you may wish to tweak these #s)
play();
//^^tells clip to play while key is pressed
}
}

I've been at this for three YEARS! And I'm still a NEWBIE!!!

Hope this helps someone

Newbie Help With Buttons
Hi, I have Flash MX and I'm having problems getting a movie to load via a button. I made a button and used actionscript to have it goto the last frame on release. The last frame is where the movie clip is located. Well when i test out the movie it does not go to frame 5 after release. I also manually moved it to frame 5 in the debug window and saw that the movie did play but then the button keeps flashing. I've been trying to figure this out myself but im stuck. Any advice would be appreciated, thx

AS2 - Newbie Help With Buttons
I'm a Newbie, so bear with me.
I have 3 buttons... btn1, btn2, btn3
when I click on btn1, it loads a movie clip on stage.
When I click on btn2, it loads a different movie clip to the same location on stage.
same for btn 3.
Now depending on the order of buttons pushed. how do I tell it to take away the movie clip that was loaded previously. (i.e. btn1, btn2, or btn3).

I have the movie clips set up to remove from the stage by sliding off to the left.

So If I'm viewing the information on btn 3... and click on btn1... it should know that i was on btn3, and remove that by sliding off to the left, and then load btn1.
I've been doing pretty well following tutorials, but I've only got into some very basic AS, which I'm assuming I will need to do here?

Thanks,
Terri

Newbie Needs Help Issue With Buttons..
Ok, just to preface, I'm a complete newbie to flash MX and would appreciate some help with an issue I'm having.

Hopefully I can explain this..

I've got a bunch of buttons in my main timeline, and when they are pressed they play a movie clip that is on a layer above them.. This movie clip has a completely blank first frame, so that it's transparent until played.

The issue I'm having is that when this clip is playing, the buttons below it (that are completely hidden by the clip) can still be pressed, when moused over cause the arrow to turn into the finger pointer, and basically annoy me! Is there any way to prevent the user from interacting with buttons that are hidden by something else??

Any help at all would be appreciated! I'm trying to learn flash to put together an online portfolio, so I want it to look good!

Buttons Using ActionScript <--Newbie
Hi Guys,

Bit of a noob on the ActionScript front, trying to self learn it and being a bit slow this is taking some time. What I'm wanting to do for my web site is do a animation on a button so that when the mouse cursor is over it a drop down list animation starts revealing more buttons. How would I go about doing this using Action script in the noobiest terms possible?

Total Newbie - End Of Movie And Buttons
Hi,

I literally just started using flash 2 days ago, I've created a basic flash but it keeps looping, also I can not get it to jump to a webpage on completion.

I've put in the last frame:

stop()
geturl("www.webaddr.com")

Am I missing something? Also I've notice my skip intro button doesn't always work, you have to move the mouse a bit before the mouse icon acknowledges it as a link.

(newbie) Menu Buttons Don't Work...
I trying to make a full-flash site, but my menu buttons are not reacting. even when I put a simple getUrl script on a button - it does nothing.

I read the Kirupa tutorial, and the only thing different is that my menu is also a loaded swf. But should that doesn't explain why the buttons are just non-functional. I must be missing something. Can someone please take a look at the files and let me know what's wrong?

Thanks.
