Actionscript Carousel - Linking Items To Multiple Areas Of HTML Page
Hello,

I am trying to modify some actionscript that is generating a carousel and importing images from an xml file.

I want to make it so that each item (image) is clickable and can go to a particular section on a seperate html page - the same idea as using page jumps with id's.

How do I set this up???

Here is my current actionscript code:

Code:
import mx.utils.Delegate;

var numOfItems:Number;
var radiusX:Number = 300;
var radiusY:Number = 75;
var centerX:Number = Stage.width / 2;
var centerY:Number = Stage.height / 2;
var speed:Number = 0.009;
var perspective:Number = 220;
var home:MovieClip = this;

var tooltip:MovieClip = this.attachMovie("tooltip","tooltip",10000);
tooltip._alpha = 0;

var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;

xml.onLoad = function()
{
var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
numOfItems = nodes.length;
for(var i=0;i<numOfItems;i++)
{
var t = home.attachMovie("item","item"+i,i+1);
t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/numOfItems);
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
t.toolText = nodes[i].attributes.tooltip;
t.icon.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
t.r.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
t.icon.onRollOver = over;
t.icon.onRollOut = out;
t.icon.onRelease = released;

}
}

function over()
{
home.tooltip.tipText.text = this._parent.toolText;
home.tooltip._x = this._parent._x;
home.tooltip._y = this._parent._y - this._parent._height/2;
home.tooltip.onEnterFrame = Delegate.create(this,moveTip);
home.tooltip._alpha = 100;
}

function out()
{
delete home.tooltip.onEnterFrame;
home.tooltip._alpha = 0;
}

function released()
{
trace(this._parent.toolText);
getURL("projects_and_development.html");
}

function moveTip()
{
home.tooltip._x = this._parent._x;
home.tooltip._y = this._parent._y - this._parent._height/2;
}

xml.load("icons.xml");

function mover()
{
this._x = Math.cos(this.angle) * radiusX + centerX;
this._y = Math.sin(this.angle) * radiusY + centerY;
var s = (this._y - perspective) /(centerY+radiusY-perspective);
this._xscale = this._yscale = s*100;
this.angle += this._parent.speed;
this.swapDepths(Math.round(this._xscale) + 100);
}

this.onMouseMove = function()
{
speed = (this._xmouse-centerX)/20000;
}

Restraining Dragable Items. Help Plz.
Hello,

This may be a little difficult to explain, but I will try my best. I'm somewhat of a newbie to AS (or at least the mid to advanced level stuff). Here is what I need to figure out:

You can view the current work here: http://www.sturgisbikeweek.com/temp/..._template.html

Click on the Pan & Zoom Cam tab at the bottom. As you can see that bar on the left 'zooms' the image in and out. Really all it is doing is re-sizing the image.

You may also notice that the image is draggable. This is to give it the 'pan' effect. What I need to do is put a script on there that will not allow it to show the whitespace around the image when someone drags it around.

So the script needs to scale the draggable limits with the image size so that no matter what the box is always filled with image and you can not 'pan' outside of the bounds of the image.

I hope I explained it good enough. If not, just ask questions. Also, thank you very much in advance for all your help!

Line Linking 2 Dragable Movie Clips
I am not sure how to do this or infact how to search for it in movies and the boards(i tried).

I am looking for links/examples/or help in getting a line to link 2 objects. When i drag one object the end of the line will stay linked to both objects, stretching, moving etc.

Any ideas?

And while i am at it how would i get an object to snap back to where it originated from with a little elastic bounce.

Thanks in advance.

Printing Items Created With Actionscript; Please Help
I have a movie clip that I am drawing a pie chart on. I have also placed this movie out of the viewing area on a frame with a label of #p for printing. When I view this movie the pie chart shows up, but when I print with printNum(0, "bframe"); the page prints but the pie chart does not print. Is there a trick to printing things that are created with actionscript? Any help would be greatly appreciated! - I'm under a time crunch!

Printing Datagrid Items Or Data
I have built an application that takes user input, searches data in an XML file, and returns matches to a datagrid (with scoll bars) on the stage. The next logical step would be to print that data. Of course, the data could be one item or 100 items, so I have no way of knowing how many pages would need to be printed. From what I've read, this can be pretty dicey. Hence, I'm looking for some general ideas about how to do it.

Linking Dynamic Menu Items?
Okay, i'm playing with tutorial 58 - Dynamic Menu with submenu, and I'm stumped on something that really shouldn't be that hard.

http://www.actionscript.org/tutorial...us/index.shtml

I've got the menu all done and now I am trying to use the submenu items to load dynamic jpgs into an empty MC. The tutorial explains how to link the buttons using getURL and I can do that fine, but of course the jpg just loads in a new browser window.

here is the generic AS on the submenu button using getURL:

code: on (release) {
myURL = eval("_root.urls"+choice);
if(myURL != null){
getURL(myURL);
}
}

Now, I thought I should just be able to use another command instead of getURL but I'm not sure what to use and everything I've tried goes kapuzt.

Here's what I've got:

code: on (release) {
subLink = eval("_root.slink"+choice);
if (subLink != null) {
GetURL(subLink);
}
}

the _root.slink value is this:

slink11 = "portjpgs/2003.01/01.jpg",pictMC,-20000;

So I guess two things

1) What comand should I use?
2) And how do I target the movie clip and depth? (I'm pretty sure I've got it wrong right now...)

Thanks for all your help,

Gabe

Jumping To Areas Of Dynamic Text, Printing Dynamic Text
hello,

I have a movie clip that loads a .txt file into a dynamic text field. Due to the amount of content in the file a scroller bar is needed in order to view all of it. I want to create buttons that jump to different areas of the dynamic text for easier navigation so the user can go directly to various sections instead of having to use the scroller all the time. What kind of coding would I need to put on the buttons and within the .txt file at the areas I want to jump to?
Also, I would like to give the user the option to print everything within the dynamic text field only, not the surrounding elements in my movie clip. Is that possible?

thanks!

Individual Listbox Items Linking To Individual External Text Files?
Alright, I've been at this for a while now, and I'm stumped. I've gotten as far as getting a listbox with a list of articles to display the articles in a dynamic text box, only i can only get it to work if i use one huge external text file that contains all the articles. what i want is to have each item on the list open up its own external text file, i.e. for each item on the list, there exists a separate text file. Can anyone offer any insight into this? I'm about ready to put my fist through the monitor, and that would suck because this is a really nice monitor

Drag Items Into A Target Zone - Shrink Old Items
Hello - I have been thinking about how best to handle this but thought I'd ask if anyone has seen any actual code that will get me close to where I want to be. I have attached an image that will give you the idea.

I want to have a "target area" and drag and drop items onto it. As I add new items the ones already there will need to shrink to make room for the new item. As items are removed the remaining itmes can grow a bit more again. Get the idea?

Need An Explicit Printing Tutorial For Flash 5 Or An Expert On Printing...
Been trying to print for a couple of hours now.
It seems to work fine when I use simple objet on the main timeline, but I get weird result when trying to print nested object.

For example, it got a movie clip containing multiple duplicate mc, and a dynamic text field. This movie clip is out of the movie stage.

When I try to print it it using:

printAsBitmap(this.effective.printArea, "bMovie");

nothing get printed.

so I move the movie on the stage.

this.effective._x = 0;
this.effective._y = 0;
printAsBitmap(this.effective.printArea, "bMovie");

the frame gets printed, but the text is out of phase even if it looks fine on the screen.

I have define the label of the frame I want to print with #p and the printing area with #b.

Why can I print my movie if it's off the stage, and why does the dynamic text field is printed out of phase when I tried to print ?

----------------------------------

At least can someone direct me to a good flash 5 tutorial on printing...

List Item W/ Multiple Data Items - How To Select Data Items?
I have a list component (myListBox) that is showing the labels for some data items read in from an XML file. Each item in the list has an associated name, description, and path (they're mp3 files) and they are named accordingly in the XML tags.

Using myListBox.selectedItem.label gives the correct label but myListBox.selectedItem.data is undefined. I've tried using the XML tags after the data selector (e.g. myListBox.selectedItem.data.path) but those don't work, either. All of the examples I've found in the docs show only a single data element associated with each list item.

So, if a list item has multiple data items associated with it, how do you select them using the listBox.selectedItem property?

TIA,

Flash Printing - Trouble Printing Bitmap
Hello,

I have a Flash MX (not 2004) project that generates dynamic printable coupons. Here's the lowdown of what happens:

1. The flash coupon is loaded - dynamically loads in text and an external jpeg. This data is displayed in one frame that the user sees on the screen, and in another frame that the user never sees but is sent to the printer.
2. User presses print.
3. The flash movie sends the 'print this' frame to the printer, and voila! Printed coupon!

Here's a sample link: http://givingcorps.com/gc_central/br...&CoId=2&ChId=4

All works well, but when it comes time to print the coupon, everything prints but the jpeg. In fact, after you hit the 'print' button and the print dialogue box comes up, and you begin to print, you can actually see the jpeg vanish from the flash movie, only to return when print dialog box is finished!

I've tried a variety of tests - printing just the current frame, incorporating a test to make sure the image is loaded before allowing printing, and trying all the different print functions. I'm aware that print() only prints vector while printAsBitmap() will print everything, although with less quality, and I'm currently using printAsBitmap().

Has anybody run into this? Is there any solution or anything I'm overlooking?

Thanks for your help.

Hit Areas
Hello members,

Is it possible to make a button perform 2 actions.

For Ex. I have a hit.btn that is over my menu. When you mouseover it will make the sub menu drop down. I also want it to initiate action on another .mc depending on where your mouse is located (I would assume this is done by telling it some area in actionscript).

Refer to my image I attached. The blue hit.btn at the top is the main one. The squares below are the sizes of each hit area. When you get in the area of each individual square i want it to initiate the action on that particular movie clip.

Thanks for the help

Hit Areas On Hit Areas?
Ive got THIS so far and as you can see Ive got a big hit area that triggers a movieclip to play using this code:

ActionScript Code:
on (rollOver) {
if (Number(_currentframe) == 1) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
} else if (Number(_currentframe) == 7) {
stop();
} else {
gotoAndPlay(12-_currentframe);
}
}
on (rollOut) {
if (Number(_currentframe) == 7) {
gotoAndPlay(8);
} else {
gotoAndPlay(12-_currentframe);
}
}

..to bring up the nav.

Trouble is the octagan shapes are gonna be buttons....but you cant put hit areas over the big hit area cause as soon as you go off the big hit area with the mouse the movieclip plays...and I cant cut out the hit area where the buttons are becauce it'll mean going off the big hit area again!........that make sense?

Any suggestions for a solution?

Thanks!

I gonne explain the problem shortly and completly here but you may get the point easily if you download the action.zip file.

There are some movie clips with diffrent instance names that we gonne use them as Hit Areas.
by Hit Area,I mean that when we move the mouse from other places over them,(WITHOUT USING ANY BUTTON) they will each cause another movie clip called Motion to play specefic frames. And now, I'm tring to find the action Script, to do that.

_parent.myContainer.gotoAndPlay("fadein");
}

on(rollOut){
_parent.myContainer.gotoAndPlay("fadeout");

Help With Scrollable Areas
Hi guys,

I'm trying to create a scroll area similar to http://www.norwaysays.no ... with text content and thumbnails.

I am having no trouble bringing in the information I want (both text and images), as I am calling the variables I want via PHP from my database...

I can already successfully load new content into a textarea with a scrollbar (component), and change the content by sending new requests to the database, though I obviously can't insert the images into the text area.

However, I can create the thumbnails as per the following code inside my 'for' loop (I have already set piclocation_x and _y variables outside of the loop):

Code:

//thumbnail image loop
//levelhack = a means to ensure loading new image into a unique level

_global.levelhack += 1
_root.thumb_clip._alpha = 99
_root.thumb_clip.duplicateMovieClip("thumb_clip"+i, _global.levelhack);
_root["thumb_clip"+i]._x = piclocation_x
_root["thumb_clip"+i]._y = piclocation_y
_root["thumb_clip"+i].loadMovie(this["image"+i])
piclocation_x += 0
piclocation_y += 70

So, I have my text loaded into a scroll area, and my thumbnails in a vertical line at 70 pixel increments beside the text... (as the text entries are approximately 70 pixels / 3 lines worth each). Obviously though, the text content is scrollable and the images are just sitting on the stage next to the text area.

My problem is, I can't seem to load all this content into a scrollpane component or a masked scroll area because that means I have to imbed the text in order for it to display, and that seems to have the effect of not updating the text content when I send new requests to the database.

So basically, my problem is not loading the text and images how I want, but loading them into a scrollable area, and having that scrollable area refresh it's content when I send new requests to the database.

Any ideas? I am tearing my hair out over this!

I can supply source file if anyone requires it.

Many thanks in advance...

Mouse Follows Object In Certain Areas
I have a movie clip wich follows the mouse and I am using the following code:

onClipEvent(load)
{
this.minx=0
this.maxx=550
this.halfWidth=this._width/2
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
this._x+=(this.tx-this._x)/4
}
onClipEvent(mouseMove)
{
this.tx=_root._xmouse
if(this.tx>this.maxx-this.halfWidth)
{
this.tx=this.maxx-this.halfWidth
}
else if(this.tx<this.minx+this.halfWidth)
{
this.tx=this.minx+this.halfWidth
}

I want the MC to follow the mouse but only in a certain area of the stage. When I jump out of this area, I want it to remain where I jumped out, until I enter the area again - at which point the MC follows the mouse again. How do I do this?

Hopefully, somebody can help.

Thanks.

The one the mouse touches should become even bigger (2) and pushes the others aside. It's like all four buttons are individual and can move each other out of the way. When the mouse leaves the buttons they should be scaled down again like in pictures 1.

Maybe someone can point me to a webpage with some tipps or give me a hint?

Cheers,
Bye!

Input Text Areas
i have some input text fields (set to variables email, message and fullname) within a movieclip which isn't always visible - it changes frame.
i can always see the text fields when i want to, but the most bizarre thing is happening with them. when i click in them, no caret appears and when i type, nothing appears.
when i open the debug i can see that the variables email, message and fullname do actually change when i type in the textfields and i can copy and paste their contents as if the text is there, but invisible. if i click on the text fields' instances in the debug menu and look at their variables, i can see that text and html text do not change, but just display what the textfields have in them to start with (i can't see that when i preview either).
how can i fix this?
thanks

Creating Hot Areas For Mouse Over
I posted this below but I think this better describes what I am trying to do.

I have a movie clip that uses the onClipEvent command which in turn makes a movie play forwards and backwards based on the position of the mouse on the screen. Here is the code

//
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Math.sqrt(Math.pow(_xmouse, 2)+Math.pow(_ymouse, 2))<250) {
nextFrame();
} else {
prevFrame();
}
}

I need to better define the area. Is there a way to say if the mouse's coordinates are <250 for x and <100 for y go to nextFrame, otherwise go to prevFram?

Thanks again for everyone's help!
