the fundamentals I'm cool with but how do I add functionallity?
everytime I ad a clip event to each individual movie it still recognises that I'm over or near other movie clips.
So It will open several urls when I only want to open one.
help much app.
cheers

The Dreaded Tsunami
has anyone done the tsunami tutorial on here?

I did it and well, customizing it has been a bit tricky... i admit that i should probably be a little better at actionscripting than I am to have attempted this one, but hey you won't stretch if you don't push right?

ANYHOW.... In the tutorial there are 19 items... in my version I have used only 6. Now I have changed what I thought were all the necessary variables and checked and re-checked all of my instance names (that one usually hangs me up) but it just won't work!

It's stops instantly as though the mouse is rolled over one of the objects... but it's just stuck....no movement at all.

maybe there is a better tutorial somewhere... Any advice appreciated...

thank you all very very much.

Adapting Tsunami As
does anyone know how I'd go about building a tsunami where one object is already scaled large when the site opens and shrinks only when you roll over the others? And then returns to it's large size when you take the mouse out again? eg. in the tsunami all the objects' normal states are small except for one whose normal state is large.
I'm trying to get something similar to the menu in http://www.8edge.com. thanks for any help.
I understand (more or less) the tsunai .fla in the tutes.

Tsunami Text
very new to actionscripting

know it's old, but want to adapt the tsunami effect from praystation...to the fla from http://www.hhbk.subnet.dk

problem: can't figure out adding multiple columns. I followed the ins. according to http://www.hhbk.subnet.dk/building_a_tsunami: made seperate movie clips (column2, column3, etc.) and placed them in their own bounding box in the main clip (which contains the original bounding box and text column)

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Tsunami Effect
Can somebody explain what is going on here. I have placed a Tsunami text effect on my flash site, but I am having a problem. Evertime the time line reaches the keyframe for the Tsunami effect, the Movie does a 1 second jump or glinch if you will.

.....Later after further observation....I found out the reason the Tsunami effect is glinching is because I expanded the borders of the original which I pasted into my site from a tutorial for tweeking. I don't understand why it's doing this because as long as the Tsunami is a movie clip, I should always be able to go into the editable movie clip and make adjustments; right???

Advanced Tsunami
Hello. I've been toying with the idea of building a menu in a similar style to that shown here http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ac...29/index.shtml - however, I do not want to have lines of text in my tsunami, but flash graphics that act in the same way to the example above.
My problem is that I cannot get a simple graphic to behave in the above manner, let alone a series of grouped graphics with behavious of buttons.
Can anyone push me in the right direction?

Rob.

Drop Down Tsunami
I am creating a drop down menu using the tsunami tutorial from this site (a very cool effect btw!)

I have assigned button actions to each of the menu items in the tsunami. The drop down is a simple two frame movie clip. In the first frame there is a button that covers only the header of the menu that tells the movie to go to the second frame.

the second frame has the header and the tsunami menu. the hit box covers both of these with the command that on roll out return to frame 1.

sounds good in theory. here is the problem: if the hit button in frame 2 is on top of the tsunami menu, the tsunami buttons don't work. if the tsunami is on top, the hit button doesn't work.

Obviously this is the wrong way to go about it. is there some actionscript that would keep the movie in the second frame based on x and y coordinates of the user's mouse?

Please be specific. I only sound like I know what I'm talking about.

thanks.

Tsunami With Images
For any of you who have been to sticksuicide.com, and seen Rob DenBleykers animation, there is one in which he has various images in a tsunami. There is a tutorial on here on how to do this with text but not with images. How would one go about doing this?

Sliding Tsunami?
Hello people
I am in a real distress - trying to make a menu looking like the one shown here:
http://www.fluid.nl/shockwave/index.html
That is a sort of "tsunami" if I get it right... On mousover, the elements nearest to the mouse grow - the nearer they are, the more they grow - like in the many examples of tsunami that you can find on the web.
The problem I have is that as they grow, the elements should also push one another sideways, so that the menu sort of "walks" or "slides" sideways. Which is exactly what I cannot achieve...
So, my question is: do any of you know how to make this effect? Please help me - I'm completely lost...
Thanks in advance,
Mikolaj

Tsunami Menu Help

Tsunami Rollover?
Guys i need help with the following effect,

let's say i have 4 circular icons...on rollover i'd like to zoom in on them, well one at a time, and at the same time i want the other icons to be pushed out of the way (so they're all visible no matter how big the zoomed in overstate is (or how far apart they are from each other for that matter).

In flash, is there something like "no overlapping layers" option (like in dreamweaver).

hope that makes sense and thanks for any help,

Artom

Help With Tsunami-like Effect
i have been scouring to find some help with a similar effect with navigation from this site: http://www.roldos.es/comunicacion/

i found a tutorial on the "tsunami effect" which is based on scaling mc's on x&y coordinates of the mouse...which after trying to customize i realized isn't the effect i am attempting to recreate.

so my question is how do i create a similar effect to the one from the link above, where the mc's are scaled at rollover?
thanks

Tsunami-like Menu
(I apologize if this question has been asked many times before, but I can't find an answer to it anywhere!)

I would love to know how to make a navigation menu like this:

http://www.finalfantasyxii.com/

I have seen some tsunami menus that are almost like it, but not quite. When you roll over a button, it pushes all the others aside. It's very smooth and clean looking and I'd love to try to create a menu like that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :D

Tsunami Hangs After LoadMov
I've been in a little over my head on this one for the most part, but I'm trying to learn my licks on the sound object.

http://www.tcinternet.net/users/5guys/bann8.html

There are three parts to this movie,
1. You'll see a wire frame that when you rollover, it shows a solid of the speaker (the text is not dynamic yet) when you click on the speaker it shoots a disc.

2. The disc gets to a certain point and loads a .swf of a Tsunami menu, when the Tsunami reaches the end of it's timeline in calls for the first movie to go ahead and retract the speaker. (so far everything is OK)

3. You click on "volume" in the Tsunami menu and it loads the third movie, the sound dial. (There is no sound yet).

Now, when you click on the sound dial and then go back to the Tsunami, it (tsunami) doesn't fully function any more (rollover). I've tried it after unloading the dial, I' ve tried placing both the Tsunami and the dial in the same movie, but nothing works. Any help is appreciated.

Tsunami Button Problem
I have added a tsunami effect into my flash site. The only problem I am having is when I try to add the goto on release action to the text rollover buttons, Nothing happens. I have succesfully made all the zoom rollover text, a button. I don't know what is the proper action command to give them. I know it works because I have seen it done on http://www.colinmiller.co.uk/flash/index.html

I don't have a problem getting the buttons to work in the action is "getURL". I Also tried the telltarget action but, I keep getting the output of telltarget not found.


You could sure save me a whole lot of time if you would tell me what you already know about the matter.

The Same Old Tsunami Button Problem
OK, I am about to give up, but I am giving it one last chance. Can someone, anyone, tell me what is the correct code to tell a button within the tsunami to go to frame 499.

This is the same tsunami from the Flash kIt tutorial. I have tried the action npress goto, but that seems not to work.

Is there something with the code in the tsunami effect that's preventing a noval effect like onpress goto, from working? I have successfully made the rollover text buttons within the tsunami by going into the childmovie clips where the actual text is. In this same text movieclip I am allowed to give the button an action, but it just does not work for me.

Draggable Tsunami Problems... Help
Right here's what's up. I took the Tsunami tutorial and made a Tsunami, then I modded it to make it a menu, also one that's draggable and minimizable. The only thing that I'm having problems with is when Y drag it, the tsunami effect stops working. It can be fixed by simply minimizing then maximizing it but I'd still like it to be fixed. I'm using falsh mx and I'm publishing with flash player 6. What scripting am I missing? I'm still rather new at writing my own scripts so if anyone can point me in the right direction that'd really help.
