What Do You Call This Effect?
Wish I could find the site again but when the page loads a picture or illustration seems to be unmasked or "drawn-in" or "painted-in" to it's finished state.
Does anyone know what this Flash effect is called and where I can find a tutorial for it?
Thanks for your time!

Hi What Do You Call This Effect?
I want to get a graphic effect where when you mouseover a button the images slide over to highlight that subject. Here's an example:
www.cons4arch.com
I can figure out how to do the menu buttons (I think) and I'm sure Flashkit has a tutorial or code to create the sliding image effect. I just can't for the life of me figure out what it's called, so I can do a search. Just tell me what I'm looking for and I'll do the rest.
Thanks!

I'm Not Sure What To Call This Effect..
How would I get this type of an effect?
A movie clip that you can click on with the mouse and stretch it to a certain point and when you let go it bounces into its original postition. Thats the best way I can explain it and I dont know what to call it.
Also I'm using Flash 5
What Do You Call That Effect?
I'm sure folks have seen this, I just hope I can describe it well enough to get some helpful feedback.
I am looking for some tips or tutorials on a certain type of navigation. It is almost like a solar system looking layout. A few different dots with lines going back to a nucleus. When clicked, it will take you to a different part of the navigation that is the same style. I havent seen this exact thing in quite a while, but would like to try to reproduce it. I few years ago, I remember seeing a sort of dictionary like this. When one link was clicked, it spawned new ones for more depth. I know this is confusing. Here is an example I found of something somewhat the same.
http://demo.arcww.ca/sites/lblaunch/
This post will probably get laughed at by those who I'm confusing, but hopefully someone else out there has the strange mind I do an will know exactly what I mean. If you have any ideas or references, please post. Thanks alot folks.

How To Call 40 Images With Same Effect?
Hi guys,
Lemme tell u wat i am doing before i tell u wat i need.
i have a menu which has 10 items. there are sub menus for each of them. the submenus total to 40 items. and when i click on ech of these submenus, then i need an image to appear on a part of the stage. Now, I need the same effect for ech of the image. Say when i click on the 1st submenu of the 1st main menu, the image of an apple comes from the bottom the stage to the centre of the stage. Now when I click on any other submenu - say 1st submenu of the 3rd main menu, this apple image should go off the stage from the top and an image of mango should appear from the bottom of the stage to the centre of the stage (same as how apple image appeared). So, basically, i need any image to come from the bottom of the stage to centre of the screen and whn a diff image is calld, the image on the screen shld go off frm centre to the top. Please tell me wat would be the easiest way to do this so that i dont have to create a swf for each of the 40 images.
How Do You Call This Text Effect?

Can't Call Function Created Via Eval Using ExternalInterface.call
I have created a flash movie that acts as an MP3 player. Using ExternalInterface, I pass an array containing cue points in the song to the flash move so that it makes a callback to javascript when it hits certain points in the song. Since I want to deal with these callbacks differently for each song, I have made it so that I can dyanmically change the function that is called from Flash (to Javascript). Here is the code for that piece:
ExternalInterface.addCallback("setCuePointFunction ToCall", this, setCuePointFunctionToCall);
var cuePointFunctionToCall:String='';
var intCurrentCuePoint:Number=0;
function setCuePointFunctionToCall(strFunctionName){
_root.cuePointFunctionToCall=strFunctionName;
}
function reportToJavascript_CuePoint(intCuePointID:Number){
ExternalInterface.call(_root.cuePointFunctionToCal l, intCuePointID);
_root.intCurrentCuePoint++;
}
This works perfectly as long as the function that cuePointFunctionToCall refers to is defined in a script block on the HTML page. However, this project is an AJAX-style thing, and I need to be able to define the function that is triggered on a cue point in code that is dynamically executed at run-time via an "eval' call.
Here's the code that talks to actionscript. This appears in a script block on the main page (not via eval).
function setCuePointFunctionToCall(strFunctionName) {
thisMovie("PushPuppets_Media_Center").setCuePointF unctionToCall(strFunctionName);
//alert(strURL);
}
function thisMovie(movieName) {
var isIE = navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1;
return (isIE) ? window[movieName] : document[movieName];
}
Here's the code that is dyamically being executed via an eval statement in javascript:
setCuePointFunctionToCall("cuePointNew");
function cuePointNew(lngCuePointID) {
alert('New function, cue point: ' + lngCuePointID);
}
This does not work. But if I copy the above function block to the main page (not in the code that is executed via an eval) it does work. I am certain that setCuePointFunctionToCall is being executed properly via the eval - it is definitely changing the function that actionscript will call. This is apparent since it is calling the right function when the function is declared on the HTML page (not in the AJAX-style eval call). So I'm guessing that this has something to do with the scope in which eval operates.
I encountered a very similar problem when I tried redefining a function in the eval call that was already defined on the main page. It just didn't take.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks,
Erich
Call Javascript With ExternalInterface.call
Hi. I'm trying to call a javascript function from a flash movie.
I'm using IE.
This one works:
AS3: ExternalInterface.call("test();");
javascript:
function test()
{
alert(666);
}
This one doesn't:
AS3: ExternalInterface.call("test(666);");
javascript:
function test(val)
{
alert(val);
}
...it says "undefined" insted of alert(666)...it seems that if i use a field in the function it simply stops working. (I'm accessing the page via: http://localhost/test_embed/myEmbed.html)
Anyone?
Moving Clouds/Object Outline Effect/Buttons Effect - Please Help Me Help My Friend
I've neglected flash for years, mainly because it seems extremely confusing. I've tried to get into it, but it's confusing with 50 different objects in the flash project going on at once, how do you work with all that?
Anyway, I'm doing a website for a friend of mine, and I had this really cool idea that I've seen around and would like to add on to this and give him a nice surprise.
Basically I would like to add a moving clouds loop in the background, similar to this: http://www.templatemonster.com/websi...ates/9630.html
then have an outline effect of the house like this: http://www.templatemonster.com/websi...ates/5488.html
and finally add an effect to the buttons like this: http://www.templatemonster.com/websi...ates/6361.html
(actually I'd be fine with any button effect )
And I'd be happy with just the cloud effect lol. I looked around for tutorials but none of them seem to be what I'm looking for.
This is the header I'm working with, it is layered in Photoshop: http://tecmosuperbowl.net/header.jpg
I would like the clouds to blend in with the blue background gradient, but I don't know how to do this, in Photoshop it's Overlay. I've tried Alpha in flash, but all that does is change the opacity.
I'm not sure where to start, I doubt I could get this in for him in time, but it'd be great. (Sunday is when the site goes live ) Thanks for helping!
How Do I Change The TextArea Component OnFocus Green Outline Effect? I Can See The Same Effect On This Text Input Box
Hi All,
I have a textArea. When I click on the tab key, the focus shifts to the textArea. And along with this a green outline comes around the textArea. How can I avoid the textArea outline color? IS there any way I can modify this?
I had once modified the checkBox component styles by editing a swf. Later I loaded this swf to the flash library. Can i do it something like that?
Will I have to use some AS code for this?
Can anyone help me out.
Thanks in advance:

Timeline Effect Same Effect Multiple Images Layout
I'm trying to use the timeline effect on some transparent .png or gif file's...
All I want to do is create say a 100 frame effect... have it fade in at the beginning and out at the end for .png 1.
Then be able to re-use the effect without having to step back through the timeline effects creator dialogue for .png 2 and so on...
In other words I want to create multiple movie clips all w/ the same animation timeline... and then have them easy to edit on the main timeline maybe overlapping a little etc.
Also the client will probably want to tinker w/ adding new images and suggesting which one's should go first in the fade in and out string of animation's which take place simply one at a time on the stage.
Here's a basic link for what I've got.... the machine images should be easily changed maybe even loaded as a seperate .swf or something:
MLS Machines flash intro
The main priority being the main movie timeline should be easy to edit w/ the movieclips... this is prolly a newbie question, but I'm having trouble keeping this simple, for editing in the long run...
Help please.
Thanks.
Sparkle Image Effect And Button Sound Effect

Ripple Effect Or Browser Shake Effect (?HOW?)
Hi all,
Once again I'm stumped !!
I have a movieclip, that contains information about a clients web site(to be used on our company site in the portfolio).
I built a timer to fade the movie clip in.
As it fades in I would like to create a ripple effect.
I've looked at the java applet "Lake" and found I didn't want to use it.
Is there anyway I can build it in flash with AS ?
Also, if it looks awful, How do I create the browser shake effect, but only put it on a specific movie clip ?
Many Thanks,
vglcrew
P.S. Cheers Lucifer_morning_star for all your help last time.
Starlight Effect And Zoom Into Jpeg Effect
Greetings!
I am interested in creating two effects:
One is the starlight that runs across the top of text or objects like what you see for Dolby Surround Sound, the Alliance (film) logo also ends with a similar effect.
Two, is I'd like a movie where the viewer "goes into a jpeg" al la zoom on a gradual basis then fade out. The effect of course would be as if the viewer was entering a scene (but of course the pixelation would obviously obscure the closer you got in).
Thanks!

[CS3] Please Help Lightbox Effect+Trunami Effect=trouble [CS3]
Hello, I've been working on this for awhile and just can't figure this out. On my old portfolio site I, on the portfolio page, I have a column on links using the tsunami effect to project the selected project JPG into the space beside it, then clicks the JPG to display a SWF via a lightbox effect. The problem is that if anyone using it doesn't click the close button to close the lightbox effect and simply clicks another project from the list the dimensions of the SWFs get messed up. I have tried to figure this out for a long time and just am not able to do this. An example of my problem is at http://www.pwmulder.com/index-old.html and I would greatly appreciate ANY help with the matter. I have brought my concern to other flash developers and they're as stumped as I am, and I'm starting to think that there is no way to resolve this. Another minor concern is the changing framerates of the flash shell versus the individual SWFs but that is secondary. Can anyone please help me?

Can't Figure Out This Effect...corner Lay Down Effect

Any ideas?
HELP About Alpha Effect/ Tint Effect
please go to this link to download my file first:
http://www.geocities.com/linhm01/help.fla
I am doing on a project by doing a flash and now I am having a big big problem that I have no idea how to deal with. I hope someone here can help me.
Let me tell you what do I expect to see in my flash first.
I seperated some objects (ie. trees, recycle bin, light) by turning them into buttons. For each botton, later I would like to have some descriptions nearby.
I would like when people "mouseover" a button, everything (except the button) will be alpha or tint. That is to let people concentrate on the object that their mouses are over on.
I have made three buttons with the same alpha/tint effect in the .swf file attached. They are (trees), (light), and the (recycle bins).
Here are the procedures:
1: I made the trees into one button, and add effect
2: I made the light into one button, and add effect
3: I made the recycle bins into one button and add effect
but the outcome is that:
when i mouseover the tree: (i made this button 1st)
it turns out that all the buttons (3 buttons) can be seen clearly, while i expect that only TREE can be seen clearly and all others (including the buttons= recycle bins and the light) should be covered with "alpha" effect.
when i mouseover the light: (i made this button 2nd)
it turns out that 2 buttons can be seen clearly (while the 1st button i made, tree, is with alpha effect)
when i mouseover the recycle bin: (i made this button the last)
it is what i expected. that all buttons and everything are with alpha effect, except the recycle bin
i hope someone here can tell me the solution to solve it, thank you very much.
Text Effect - Masking Effect
Hello; I was on the site when I spotted a tutorial on a text effect, here.
I followed the tutorial and I got the desired effect and it worked perfectly! I then used the same effect on a project as it was perfect for what I wanted... I then tried to publish the flash (.swf) file and load it (just for a quick test) and to my surprise instead of having nice faded text, instead I got a huge white block that was used in the layer below the text for the masking. I couldn't see the scrolling text at all! It works perfectly fine if I go "Control -> Play".
Is there a publish setting I've got to enable? Another observation is that I get the same incorrect display when asking "Test Movie".
Please help!
Thanks in advance.
Cursor Effect To Object Effect

Text Effect - Masking Effect
I've followed a tutorial on a nice text effect that caught my eye, that I found here.
It works fine if I go "Control -> Play"; but if I try to publish it, instead of nice faded text effect, I just see the huge white block with the alpha linar gradient top and no text scrolling whatsoever! It's not only when I publish it, but also when I ask it to "Test Movie"... The only time it works is when I ask Flash 8 to Play the animation. I'm guessing I've missed something simple like a publish setting... But I'm a real n00b and need some help!
Thanks in advance.
Call Mc2 From Mc1
I have an idea that I can figure out how to make happen. Mc1 is located on the main timeline and its initial purpose is to draw buttons and then return to the main timeline. Depending on which button is pressed, it goes back to mc1, changes the button display and goes to mc2, that is also located on the main timeline, to display text. I can’t get this work. Help.

How To CALL ALL Mc's At Once ?
Hi there, thanks for taking the time.
I have a scene where I have 20 mc's which play
separately one by one, when you click on each of them.
Each mc is a square, and when they're clicked
they pop out like separated blocks. The problem is that when I click
on one and pops out, I want it poped in again when
another square is clicked. So I figured I should use
labels on each of the mc called "start". So I used a
_root.square1.gotoAndStop("start");
And it works fine with just one square, but what about the rest of the mc's ? I mean I can include that line for each of the
names of all the square mc's but maybe there's something easier
-HOW TO CALL ALL OF THE MC'S AT ONCE ?
I made up _root.allmovieclips.gotoAndStop("start");
but obviously it didn't work...he he.
I'm ataching the SWF so you know what I'm talking about.
Any ideas ??
Thanks !
Waltman.

How Do We Call It?
Hello,
i'm searching the tutorials for a MC that goes left or right depending on the mouse's location: if it's on the right side of the MC, the MC goes left and the speed is dependant of the distance of the mouse from the mc's center.
If anyone has a keyword under which i could look under or a script ;o) please help
thanks

I Don't Know What You'd Call It...
What I want is similar to the thing that reports the exact X and Y co-ords of the mouse cursor but I want a descriptive text to appear in a box when the mouse rolls over one of my buttons. Is this possible?
In my site, which is linked below, I have two 'Holographic' windows; a larger one that displays the main text for the page/frame and a narrower window to the left. I want the descriptive text to appear in this narrow window when the mouse rolls over the buttons.

How To Call A Var From Within An MC?
Hi,
Somewhere in a frame on my timeline I have this code:
Code:
_root.button_nl.onRelease = function() {
keuze = "nl";
gotoAndPlay("fly");
};
So when that button is clicked, 'keuze' is set to 'nl' and the anim goes on.
At the end of my animation is an MC which has this code on it:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
speed = 2.5;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_alpha<100) {
diffalpha = endalpha-_alpha;
alphachange = Math.ceil(diffalpha*(speed/10));
_alpha = Math.ceil(_alpha+alphachange);
}
if (_alpha==100 && keuze == "nl") {
trace("juist");
}
}
This doesn't work, I can only trace that var 'keuze' if I put the trace part on another frame. I can't trace it from within a movieclip.
How do you write this code right?
Thanks,

I Don't Even Know What To Call This?
hello people.
i came across this really slick website http://www.pimago.de and was wondering how he made the box to transformed into different sizes depending on what you press. That effect is so cool and I really need to know how it was done. Can anyone help me please?

I Don't Even Know What To Call This...
It is really annoying when you can get something to work, but you know that there is a better way to make it work, but you don’t have enough knowledge to quite figure it out. That is the position I find myself in.
I am basically trying to make a menu out of several movie clips. Each movie clip contains a dynamic text field. The text fields need to be populated with info from the XML file. Some of the movie clips also need to act as buttons that load an external .swf in a window component when pressed. The contentPath for the Window needs to be populated from the XML file. Each of the movie clips that act as buttons also has a movie clip underneath it that contains a description of the external swf. The text field in this “description” movie clip also needs to be populated from the XML file.
I have created the first movie clip button and it works. The problem is that in order to make the rest of the movie clips work, I am going to have to repeat a lot of code and it is going to be a huge mess. I know that I need to use an Array for the XML nodes. I think I could probably use an Array for the movie clip instances also. The problem is I just don’t have enough experience to get it working and I don’t have the time to break it down and figure it out.
Attached are the files. I’m sure most of you don’t have the time to figure this out either, but if you do and would take a look at it for me I would really appreciate it. Even if you can just get me started in the right direction, I might be able to figure it out.

Don't Know What To Call It..
Happy new years all!
I'm looking for some code... but don't know how to search for it.
Imaging a VERY wide MC on a stage... and a few buttons above it.
Click on a button and the MC quickly scrolls, left or right (the quickest path) to a specific location and eases into position.
Any ideas what I'm looking for? What would YOU call that?
Many thanks!
[F8] What Do You Call This?
Hi,
can anyone tell me what this type of menu you call those one's which alter shape when you roll over the buttons:
i've found a sort of example because i dont think i've explained it very well -
http://laco.wz.cz/tween/?page=examples
just look at the top sample for the yugop menu.
what i'm trying to do is one of those menus that when you roll over a button, the other buttons move out of it's way when it gets bigger and moves back when it closes - bit like the mac icon menus.
hope i've explained it right?
