The static one works fine. How do I get the moving to work?

Please help.

Will be very simple for the flash gurus out there.

Sliding Menu - Need MC To Play After Sliding Has Finished
Hi,

I have created a Sliding Menu with about 12 sections. In one of the section/s I have a MC inside that I want to play. Is there a way to tell a MC to play once sliding has completed? Say based on pixel position (of the sliding MC) or something similar?

At the moment I'm using "on release" but with this method, the animation starts too early. (By the time you slide from section 1 to 12 the MC has already started playing)...



Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!!

Flash Sliding Menu / Horizontal Dynamic Picture Menu
Hello,

I am quite fascinated by the effect used to scroll a variety of pictures left and right with the ability to halt on a particular picture to click and navigate to another area of a site. Could anyone point me to a tutorial on how this is done? An good example of the effect may be seen on this site:

http://www.calatrava.com (click on the "slide show" link)

Would appreciate any pointers. Thanks!

Combine XML Menu Tutorial With Verticle Sliding Menu
Hey Guys,
IM trying to combine the dynamic XML menu tutorial found here on Kirupa with a tut ive found else where.

Now I under stand how the sliding tutorial works, but its based on some fixed dimensions.

Obviously the dimensions of the XML menu can change as items are added ...if any one could take a look a source (below) and tell me where to start referencing the variouse dimensions involved?

The news.xml and news.fla files contain a rough working model of the XML menu in case they are fo any use?

LINK: www.nineironmusic.co.uk/scrollmenu.zip

Scroll menu AS:


ActionScript Code:
mouseX = _ymouse;menuX = menu._y;if (mouseX > 280) {    diff = (mouseX-280)/15;}if (mouseX < 220) {    diff = (220-mouseX)/15;}if (mouseX <= 250 && menuX <= 56) {    setProperty("menu", _y, menuX+diff);}if (mouseX >= 250 && menuX >= -204) {    setProperty("menu", _y, menuX-diff);}if (menu._y >= 56) {    menu._y = 56;} else if (menu._y <= -204) {    menu._y = -204;   }gotoAndPlay(2);


Thanks... once again!

Problem With Sliding Menu (menu.xml)
I have tweeked one of the free sliding menu's (menu xml) downloaded from a website.

We have made it to go vertical instead of horizontal, also we make it stop once the top or bottom of the menu reaches the top/bottom of the page. Therefore we have removed it from looping all over again. The problem that occurs is that once it does stop the last menu button jumps up a bit; and everytime we go up and back down it jumps again and this keeps on happening.

Also the top part does the same (going up), this only happens to the first and last buttons.

I have attached my file so you can see what I have done wrong and hopefully help me on this.

Thanks in advance.

Sliding Menu
I'm looking to creating a sliding menu...I'll have about 20 thumbnail pictures along the side of a page around 800 x 600. Obviously I can't fit all 20 thumbnails on the page at once so I want a slider bar so that the user can slide from top to bottom of the thumbnail list. I'm using Flash MX BUT I need to output my file to Flash 5, since I'm restricted to using my Flash file in Director 8.5 which only supports up to Flash 5 SWF files.

Anyone know of a way to do this? Please advise....Thanks!!!

Hi,

I built this menu using code that I found on this forum. Everything is working great except for when the main menu goes up or down, the sub menu seems to come partially out then go back (the sub menu isn't supposed to move until you mouse over one of the buttons). I can't figure out what is causing this to happen and was hoping someone here may be able to help.

Thanks in advance.

Sliding Up Sub Menu
Hi All,

I am trying to design a menu system in which the sub menu fades in in an upward direction. I can get it to slide up on mouse over and slide down on mouse out but I can not get it to stay so that you can select the submenu buttons. I have attached my file. Any suggestions? PS. This has to be done in Flash 5.

Sliding Menu
gooday all, i'm having a bit of trouble that I just can't quite get my head around. See what I'm trying to do is make this menu(attached) so that when you click on one of the links, they slide out to the right....now, I have the sliding part down. But seeing as there are 4 items in the menu (about, services, work, contact) I would like the menu to work so that there can only be one item selected at a time

(ex. u click on "about", it slides out to the right, and then u click on "services" and "about" slides back to the left with the rest and "services" slides out to the right....a bit confusing)

The BIG problem here is I can't get an item in the menu (ex. "about") to function so that if ANY of the other items are selected it must move back to the left. So far all I've accomplished is it's acknowledgment of ONE other item.

Here is my code:


Code:
_root.about._x += rate;

if (_root.services._x >= 32){
targetx = 31.9;
}
else {
targetx = 80;
}
if (_root.work._x >= 32){
targetx = 31.9;
}
else{
targetx = 80;
}
if (_root.contact._x >= 32){
targetx = 31.9;
}
else{
targetx = 80;
}
For reference: targetx = location of the item (31.9 = original position, 80 = when it slides out to the right)

It seems that with this code, flash only acknowledges the LAST If statement "if (_root.contact._x >= 32..."

THE QUESTION: Is there a way I can make it so that there can only be one item selected at a time? Using If statements or not...doens't matter

hope this makes sense =/

xm = _xmouse;

if(_xmouse >= 407){xm = 407;}
scroll_x = hpos - xm;
scroll_x = scroll_x * mul;
x_pos = scroll_x * incr;
x_pos = x_pos + hpos;
return x_pos;
}

_root.onEnterFrame = function ()
{

// call function xpos
x_pos = xpos(400,.20);
with (bg)
{
_x += (x_pos - _x)*.4;
}

// call function xpos
x_pos = xpos(814,.75);
with (menu)
{
_x += (x_pos - _x)*.4;
}

}

Sliding Menu
hello expert flashers!

I am in need of your help. I'm still a beginner in making designs in flash so please bear with me.

My problem is this: A slider menu that has a link that calls html or php files. When I click on the thumbnail images or button from the slider menu, it will link to an html or php file similar to this website: http://sureseats.myayala.com/comingsoon/ This site has arrows (left and right) so when your mouseover on the left and right arrow it would move according to the direction you want. In addition, when you click on the thumbnail, you will be directed to a url (which is fine) but no pop windows. Just opening on the same window.

Somehow, this tutorial works http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/infinite.htm ) however how do I place the left and right arrows? the links or urls? no pop windows just opening on the same window.
I know I'm asking a lot from all of you but I have been searching for tutorials all day and I haven't found what I've been looking for. I have to admit I'm not good in creating action scripts that is why I'm asking for help.

If you can help or suggest a tutorial, please email me at this address: jazgirl20@mail.com I'll be checking my mail and kirupa forum for any replies.

Thank you and have a nice day!

Regards,

Jazgirl

P.S. Tutorials can be Flash MX or Flash MX 2004

[ Sliding Menu ]
Hi,

I want to develope a menu that has one sliding rollover effect.
In short its a horizontal menu... once you press for example
"about" the rollover movie clip slides horizontally untill it is over
'about' button and stays there... so as you press each button
the rollover (little movie clip) get repositioned to be over the button
i'd preffer that it does the easing effect...something smooth
and maybe small bounce of wall type thing at the end before it
stops ( so left->right movement untill it comes to a complete stop)

Any ideas for the code on how to do this ??

=( over )=>=======[ about ]================

(imagine that the above image represents the menu
and the over needs to be scripted so that it slides
over the "about" button)

Sliding Menu Q
I have a site with a sliding menu panel and I need MCs on that panel to animate (expand) when the MC appears in the center area of the stage and retract when the panel slides the MC out of the center.

Should I set up an if then for the values of the _x. coordinates of the MC, or perhaps instance another mc occupying the center 1/3 of the stage and do a MovieClip.hitTest function.

Does anyone have any thoughts or know of any source fla.s with something like this?

any help is good help

thanx
