Flash :: Replicating The Menu On ERAIN Homepage.

Help In Replicating Menu
Hi,
I am working on a website and want to integrate a Flash menu, with the same type layout as the one used here (http://www.islandrecords.com/thekillers/site/home.las). I'd like a menu list where you get sub-menu items when you roll over the buttons. I'm just getting into learning Flash, and could use some help. I've got my main image and my buttons created on seperate layers. But I don't know how I should put the sub-menu items in, or how to get them to appear when you roll over the buttons. Any assistance in how to properly set this up is much appreciated. Thanks in advance. - Eric

Erain Site: Effect How-to?
Hello guys!

I'm trying to make the same effect that you guys see in this page.

http://www.erain.com/

There is a bar on top of the page below the one with Products..Store..Suport..etc. When you do a rollOver on it, a white bar comes from the right to the left and stops at the button that you're on. I would like to know which script I can use to get the same effect.

I'm trying to do this

the name of the object (bar) : bluebar

on(rollOver){

bluebar._x: ...
bluebar._y: ...

}

it gives me what I want. the bar stops at the botton that I'm touching but it moves too fast, I want something smooth. Please if you know how to do this, post the script here.

Thanks !!!

Macromedia Homepage Menu Implementation?
Hi, for the past week or so i have been looking for a tutorial on how to create that same functionality as the menu which resides at the top of the macromedia homepage. it looks like they used the menubar component and managed to override the current functionality to show the list of links in a horizontal fashion below the menu instead of a drop down menu. I can think if ways of doing this without using the menu bar component but for a more robust solution i would like to implement it using the menubar component. Has anybody out there seen how macromedia done this? your help would be greatly appreciated

A Homepage In My Flash Homepage
Hy, I dont speak good English, but I hope you undertand what I try to say!

I have made my own Homepage in Flash. But now I want to intergrat a counter. To do this I can simply add the source in the index.html but I want that for example if my Homepage is www.123.org and my counter is on www.freecounter....org that this windows appears IN my Homepage on www.123.org
My counter is a finished free counter on a Homepage (I don't have programmed it self!) I must only add the source (www.freecounter.....org) in my document.

I hope you understand what I want, because I search yet a long time for a response and I hope that I'm more lukky on this page!

I have another example of my problem here, if the first was not clear

I have made my Homepage with Flash MX and now I want that when I go visit my Homepage and that my Hoempge appears in the browser that I can intergraet an other Homepage in my Flash Homepage (naturly smaler). So I have 2 Homepages in one browser; One Homepage in the other!

I hope it is more clearly now

Thanks for helping me!

Replicating An Effect
say there's one particular "effect" i want to use on several different symbols, what's the best way to go about reproducing it? for example, let's say i find a particular way of affecting color and size with lots of tweens that makes a really nice "shine" effect, and want to use the same settings on 30 or 40 different text and/or image links - how should i go about it?

Replicating An Applet
Hi,
I saw this applet that basically had heaps of points arrange in columns and rows, that when u clicked and held the left mouse button down they would move towards the mouse, and move away if the right button was clicked.

so the question is how do i make this code 4 making the points arrange on stage simpler I am sure there is a better way.

Code:
a = 0;
j = 1;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 1+i);
a = a+60;
b = 60;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
a = 0;
j = 2;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 20+i);
a = a+60;
b = 120;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
a = 0;
j = 3;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 40+i);
a = a+60;
b = 180;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
a = 0;
j = 4;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 60+i);
a = a+60;
b = 240;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
a = 0;
j = 5;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 80+i);
a = a+60;
b = 300;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
a = 0;
j = 6;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 100+i);
a = a+60;
b = 360;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
a = 0;
j = 7;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 120+i);
a = a+60;
b = 420;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
a = 0;
j = 8;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 140+i);
a = a+60;
b = 480;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
a = 0;
j = 9;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 160+i);
a = a+60;
b = 540;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
a = 0;
j = 10;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
peete = [i, j];
_root.attachMovie("point", peete, 180+i);
a = a+60;
b = 600;
_root[peete]._x = a;
_root[peete]._y = b;
}
also i am using a mouse down clip event to make the points move to the mouse how do i make this happen for the whole time the mouse is down not just the click?

Self Replicating Program
Can anyone use AS3 (or AS2 I suppose) to write a script that can reproduce itself? Successful program should export code (into a TF or the output panel) that can be copied into a new flash file and run to repeat the same output indefinitely.

I've seen this posed for other languages but I'm not sure how to tackle it in AS3...yet.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true) && (alpha == no)) {
this._alpha -= 13;

Replicating Website + Flash
Okay. Here is my predicament. My Father's company (Natural Herbal Prodicts) is paying some people a large sum of money to design a website. The design that they are stuck with is mediocre and not very functional and I could do a much better job, and would like to do so, except for this obstable. They are making a replicating website, that would be plugged into the already existing database system. Let me explain...

The original domain name will be www.entreneteam.com
Say I ordered, then a site would automatically be created after the order at the url
www.entreneteam.com/eric.html
Now say I give my card to someone with my url on it and they will get the same frontpage as anybody else, but when they order, they will be put under me in the distributor line so that their orders benefit me.
So these frontpages would be replicated like a tree and tied into the distributor database. Now, he already has a programmer that can take care of the database part, and tying the database into it, but I would still personally have to do the replicating webbsite part of it myself.

Now I have no idea how to do that, and will gladly research, but is this possible to do in Flash MX or in Flash MX and Cold Fusion, so that I could include the funtionability of a replicating website, with a good flash design?
I would really be helping my father out of a situation if I could do so.
Thanks for your time.

Replicating OnDragOver In Flash 5
Hi every1. First post, wondering if you can help me.

The deal is I've got an MC that I am dragging around my scene and I need other MC's to be highlighted as I drag over them, i.e. the mouse is still down. Buttons don't work, onClipEvent only runs once whilst mouseDown (so I can't do a continuous position check) and the only thing I can think of working is the onDragOver and onDragOut events in MX but I am using flash 5?

Any feedback welcome. Can't help feeling like am being very stupid, am sure this is possible, but can't for the life of me think how.

Cheers,
Sir.

[CS3] Efficient Way Of Replicating MovieClips?
On my main timeline I have two dynamic text boxes and an input box that represent a math problem. I wanted there to be three problems on the screen at a time. Since I don't know much about classes and making packages I just copied and pasted the problem twice so that I have three instances of each text box. Next I basically just tripled my lines of code, one block for each of the three problems.

I'm assuming the proper way to handle something like that is to make the problem a MovieClip and then make a class for it. However, when I attempted to do that I got errors [possible undefined function] because code that still remained on the Main Timeline was referencing functions that had been moved from the Timeline into the mcProblem class. Could I change the code on the Timeline so that I won't be getting these referencing errors? If not, could you please provide some detailed information about what I should do regarding classes? Currently I am not using a document class.

If anyone understands what I'm trying to do, please guide me in the right direction. This is my first attempt at a solo project (for fun) and while I can achieve the desired swf sloppily I prefer to learn to do it the clean and efficient way.

Replicating Files On A Desktop In AS
Can i replicate files and create folders on a users desktop through actionscript?

Im creating a template builder that will have to replicate my swf's, write a variable to a html page where my flash is embeded, write a xml file, and create a folder on a users desktop with all the files above?

Is this possible in as or as3? Do I need to write my application in VB or flex instead?

Replicating Pages Turning
I'd like to replicate the turning of pages of a book, to show different information. I would either like (A) when you click on the lower right corner the page flips, flowing across the screen as if turning in real life or (b) *favorite* that when the lower right corner is dragged towards the left side, the page turns to the next. is this even possible? any help would be greatly appreciated (ps kinda new but my confidence and understanding is growing quickly)

Replicating This Effect With Bitmapfilter (Effects)
Hey there all, I'm just trying to replicate this effect

http://www.reactiondynamics.com/sd2.swf

using flash. So far, using Senoculars blurred trails example on his website, I've got this: blurtrail2.fla

Only, it doesn't look right and I'm not sure how I can get it looking better. For instance, how can I remove the spacing that appears as dots spin, and also, how do I elongate the trail, and make the blur falloff ? If it can't be done in flash, what program can I do it in?

Any help appreciated

Help Needed On Styling And Replicating Text Field
As a new AS3 coder I'm at a little bit of a loss on the most efficient way to replicate a styled text field.

I would like to use the following styled text info and load some text from an array. Do I need to create all this styling for every instance of the text in the array or can I create several new instances of the field in my function?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Help I Can't Add A Nav On Homepage...
This seems like a really stupid problem.. but hey, I am new at this. I have been working on an animated menu navigation and I want to put it on the homepage. I imported it in the library and placed the .swf on the homepage. When I test it, it's just static.
I haven't added the links yet, I just wanted to see if the actual animation of the navigation bar would work.. and it didn't.
Does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?
I hope it's an easy problem to figure out. I am just so frustrated and I know I must be forgetting something so simple.

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!

This Is My Homepage...but
Hi,

http://www.psudo-ride.com/temp/boards.html

This is a mock up for a design i'm working on at the moment, as you will see the basic site is small, simple and loads quick, but it runs painfully slowly, any ideas why this might be, could it be that i've put too much action script on the buttons????.

I'd appreciate any advice/critisism/insight or whatever that might help me run this a bit smoother.

Cheers,

Set As Homepage
anyone knows actions for button for "set as homepage" .. i know "bookmark" action with java but i dont know "set as homepage"

Homepage, Pls Help
here is my situation:
I have a made an intro and have completed that. I am now making the homepage for it. In the bottom right hand corner I have the skip button which opens the webpage. In the bottom left I have email button. I know how to do all of this. Here is what I dont know.

When you go to the homepage you see all the buttons above, but in the middle I want another window thing. Say around 680x510. In this window there will be some text and at the bottom of the window will be a play button. The play button will be an On release, load movie button. I know how to do this too. How do I make the window though. Its not a new browser window, but more a flash inside a flash. I am not sure the vocabulary of what to call it.

If this has made no sense then I might be able to explain it clearer on msg.

Thanks,

Homepage Help
Hello ladies and gentlemen. I have some things that I need some help with. But before I start you should take a look at the picture of my homepage (not even close to be done) to understand my questions. I've put the link for an image in the bottom of this post. First of all I'd like to know about a certain drawing effect. I'm trying to make the effect that when you press a button on my menu-soon-to-be the top lines, next to the title "Paradox shade", so that they are drawn up. Like if I would draw them by hand. Is there any other way of doing this except masking, or doing frame by frame? And if these happen to be the only ways, then I'd prefer the masking method. Could someone explain how masking this works cause I have trouble understanding it. Thanks!
