Flash :: Nike Jumpman - How The Heck....?

Jumpman Nav
Hey guys,

I'm curious to get your input as to how this navigation might be accomplished:

http://www.nike.com/jumpman23/home/index.html

The bottom navigation bar that expands to show Tabs. It looks like this might have been done in Flex. Anyone?

Nike.com
Hey Everyone,
I want to learn how Nike.com did their menus on their site. How hard is it? Who has a tutorial in mind that is similiar to this where I can learn?

Thanks.

How Did They Do This With Nike.com
If you go to Nike.com with the video shadows and the bending of the video. Also is there a flash component that does the navigation of the pictures to play the movie?

THanks...

NIKE.COM - HOW DID THEY DO THAT?
Hey everybody,

I was wondering if anybody had ideas on how nike.com did they video reflections?
Did they composite the video and reflection in After effects and export a flv, or did the do the reflection in flash with a mirror flv with a gradient mask?

With that said, are there advantages/ disadvantages of having a mirrored flv? Or is it treated like a duplicated symbol?

Can you do a video gradient mask in flash? I've done it with vector art, but I can't seem to get the flv to play in a gradient mask.

How Did Nike Do It

My question is this, obviously they are using the fullscreen flash approach but they also have the browser scrollbars intact? How is this possible? I thought once you go fullscreen you cant have scrollbars.

Nike Skateboarding
Does anyone have an idea how Nike was able to get the links within a hotspot of the drag mask in main nav of their skateboarding site.

http://www.nike.com/nikeskateboarding/

> Skip intro > drag > the links in the image graphics on the right

Nike Skateboarding
Hi,

I am trying to make a menu system similar to a simplified version of the nike skateboarding site.

http://www.nike.com/nikeskateboarding/v2/main.html

I have a menu button which sits to the side of the screen following the y-axis of the cursor and expands to fill the width of the movie on rollover.

I just need to workout how to stop the button from following the cursor when the cursor rolls over the button.

This is the code I am using, where 'follow' is an expanding menu button:

code:
mouse_y = _ymouse-50;

if (mouse_y<50) {
mouse_y=50;
}

if (mouse_y>350) {
mouse_y=350;
}

setProperty (_root.follow, _y, mouse_y+((getProperty(_root.follow,_y)-mouse_y)/2));

Any ideas?

Thanks

Nike.com Perspective
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had a guess how nike.com achieved the sliding pictures in perspective on the left and right of their homepage. I looked at the files and it looks like it's loading all of those thumbnails in as jpg's and swf's so I don't think they're doing any real 3d (like Sandy or Papervision), but at the same time, I know you can't free distort images like that in flash. Anyone have any clues on what they did?

Nike 10 Animation? Or AS?
Hi, I have a question regarding the site below, I saw lots of awesome "line" animation like Nike10 around, I have 2 questions,

1. are those awesome "line" animation all frame by frame hand drawing animation? or it's some kinf od AS??

http://www.grupow.com/nike10/

2. does anyone any more good sites made by these kind of smooth animation?

and if possible, I wanna learn some of these tricks if there's tutorial
thanks a lot for your time and help~

Does anyone know how to do the masking effect
after the intro.
on http://www.nike.com/nikeskateboarding/

I have a tutorial for a single masking bar that moves over text graphics etc

but they use three, each coming on as you rollover the areas
the bar follows the mouse and then enlarges to show imges text

much appreciated for any advice

Animated Mask Like @ Nike.com
I am a newbie and made the mistake of showing my boss Nike's site. Now he want's me to do the same. All I need the mask to do is slide over hidden photos, not the full blown nav bar. I've managed to build a mask using the following code:

this.attachMovie ("Mask", "mcMask", this.getNextHighestDepth ());
mcImageOne.setMask (mcMask);
mcMask.startDrag (true);

...but the mask is all over the map, I can't figure out how to make it slide across.

This, of course, doesn't make the mask follow the mouse either. You still have to drag it.

Tanx in advance!

Nike Style Navigation
So I am trying to duplicate the way nike.com has their navigation, only simpler.

I have movieclips for buttons, that on release, play a mask slider, as well as revel a set of subnavigation for that button. I am having issues with each button reseting, when you click on another button. I have tried to unload, but that just dumps the clip entirely. Any suggestions?

Flash Menu (nike)
I am trying to create a dropdown menu like the one on nike.com
www.nike.com
Is there any way to make that happen without having to use an invisible button for the onRollOver and onRollout?
Thanks.

Nike SogaTV Site
Hi Guys,
Have been looking around at different sites for various inspiration and came across Nike's sogaTV site.
http://nikefootball.nike.com/nikefootball/siteshell/index.jsp#,en,0;jogatv,,0,0,0,0
This is an FLV-hub comprising of a thumbnail list of some football vids loading into a central media display.
V.impressive design I think you'll agree!
But I'm interesetd to know how they achieve that double size effect?
i.e. below the media display there are a series of controls one of which affects the physical size of the display. How do you do that?
Also, the video-thumbnail list on the right side. Any thoughts?
I know the FLVs are streamed from an FMS, do you think the video thumbnails are generated on the fly also? How would they achieve this, gradually preload set cuts of each of the videos and playback through a videoholder MC? Anyone know how reliable that would be when being streamed?

Well, thought i'd point it out anyway,
If you have any thoughts, let me know :wink:

Nike's 'create Your Own Shoe' Flash App..
I am working on something that functions very similarly to the Nikeid.com create your own shoe flash app. Our programmer initially developed the menu but it was not complete before he left the company. I have managed to get it to do everything I need it to, but my question is what do I need to do, or where do i need to go (website or tutorial) in order to have my "review" section function properly? the emailing and displaying of choices selected...

any help would be greatly appreciated.
(id search for it, but i dont even know what its called in order to search)

How The Heck
i have page that i want a preloader on but cannot get it to work..i tried dividing it into two scenes..1, the one the page is actually on,2 the preloader..i use the if frame is loaded, and go to and play commands on the first keys of the preloader and a go to and play command on the last key of it..but it doesnt work..all that happens is the preloader stops looping ..just freezes on one frame there on the screen..the page itself is made up of a bunch of symbols so all the animation is on 1 frame..is that the problem?oh and i added a looping background sound to it....

How The Heck Did They Do That:
Just curious, how is this done:

How The Heck Is He Doing This?
Okay, I've got this flash movie. The creator was nice enough to make his project public domain, so I thought I'd deconstruct it to learn a little bit.

Thing is, I can't tell how he does it. All I can find are stop() and gotoandStop () actions. could someone please help me figure out what he is doing?

here's the .fla

and the swf for anyone that wants it.

How In The Heck Do You Do This?
How do you make one button react when another button is released. I like how this website does it. How do they do that?

Any help would be great

Thanks

How The Heck Do They Do That?
Could someone do me a favor and tell me how they do those 3d effects like those seen on zaiozaiomovie.com?

I tried about 50 different times and nothing worked.

I know they don't just hand-draw each frame, so [read subject].

thank you.

What The Heck
Ok, I'm going out of my mind ... I'm so not new to flash programming or for loops or the break command

beginString = "<FONT FACE="Times" SIZE="12" COLOR="#000000">Text</FONT>

or

beginString = Text

beginString is the 0 index to the first char in a selection that a user made ... if the user selects text between the <FONT FACE ***> I want the code to break ... if they select any code outside the <FONT FACE ***> I want the code to continue ... Buts its not working

Do you see anything wrong with this code

here is the code I'm having problems with

code:
for (i = 0; i < beginString.length; i++) {
if (beginString.charAt(i) == ">") {
break;
} else if (beginString.charAt(i) != ">") {
if (beginString.charAt(i) == "<") {
trace(beginString.charAt(i) + "" + beginString.charAt(i+1));
break;
}
}
}

thanks

How The Heck Do They Do That?
Darn! How the heck?? I'm baffled at how to implement this in Actionscript!

How The Heck...
Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out how in the heck the blue bar at the bottom of this site (www.1000pis.com) was made, I've been trying to figure it out for days now.

I've got a bar which rollsover/rollsout fine (http://cg.psdsliced.com/test1) but if I try to add any kind of movieclip/button ect ontop of the bar they will not work they are just static.

Can someone maybe know how he would have made it?

How The Heck Do I Do This?
ok, I have a question, and I'm still not too clear on it. I want to have a link section on my flash page, and I have lots of links. I want to know if it's possible to make a scrollable textbox that has the links in them. First of all, I dont know how to stick a link inside a textbox. I've been told that all I have to do is write inside
PHP Code:

<a href = "url">go to this page</a>

but I do that.. and all of that is what shows up. i want my text box to look like this:

Quote:

Visit these links:
so and so's page
so and so's Other page

And I want it to scroll. So how do I do that? do I have to make a separate text file and load it into the textbox? or do I need to make a textbox for EVERY SINGLE LINK? (so that I'm putting in the link through the texbox properties...)
please help..

How The Heck Did They Do This ? Please Help
Please visit www.hnc.com and watch the top portion (the flash part) and if someone could...explain to me how the hell they get the wording to show up like they did. There is like a halfly faded circle that runs horizontally and the words appear to follow it. The only thing I can think of is some masking technique. Can someone explain it to me how they did that?? thanks

JavaScript Heck
I'm having a difficult time with Publish Settings and JavaScript when using MX. I never encountered the problem with Flash 5, but suddenly my work has browser issues ...

I usually publish my projects as .html (absolute center), and code the JavaScript by hand with trusty ol' notepad. I attach the JS to buttons [on release: javascript:launchwin ... ].

Now, the problem is : some viewers get just a blank screen (in this case, black the color of the html) without even the embedded .jpeg let alone a button.

I'm so confused! Please reply.

Preloader Heck
Im very new to actionscript so bear with me
I set up a preloader with these pramaters
I have 2 scenes "loader" and "mainsite"

scripted in "loader" frame 4 labled "preloaderloop"

framesloaded = _level0._framesloaded;
totalframes = _level0._totalframes;
percentLoaded = Math.round((framesLoaded/totalFrames)*100);
bar._xscale = percentLoaded;

scripted in "loader" frame 5

if (framesLoaded == totalFrames) {
gotoAndPlay("mainsite", 1);
} else {
gotoAndPlay("preloaderloop");
}
the problem is that the instance "bar" dosent do anything and the dynamic text box goes to 8 then stops while the rest of the move keeps loading. Looking at streaming i can see that the loop is fine but the dynamic box and the graph bar do nothing.

Plz help me
email me at jeff20@attbi.com
