Bug In Fisheye Menu With SimpleButtons
Hi there!
I rebuild this fisheye menu for AS3, and i'm using it on a list of TextButtons (which extend SimpleButtons). These buttons are childs of a Sprite, and when I hover over the Sprite, the fisheye becomes active. To the left of the list of buttons I built in a margin of 10 pixels. When I hover here, the fisheye works smoothly, and the buttons' height and y-position are renderend perfectly. However, when I hover over the buttons themselves, the the fisheye doesn't render good at all, there is no smooth flow. Just the original or the maximum heigths, and not even consistently.
When hovering the buttons, their 'overState' and 'upState' are rendered in sequence. It seems that there is some conflict between the fisheye adjusting the buttons' height and the button-hovering doing the same (maybe setting the height back to the original height when the buttons were instantiated).
Is there any way to overcome this problem? In the fisheye menu example above, an AS2 'FSelectableListClass' was used, but I cannot find any class in AS3 with the same features. Do I have to use something else than my TextButtons to populate the menu? I know the fisheye technique is working by hovering in the margin-area..
2 lines code from the menu-class. I put the buttons in an array for easy access:
Code:
var item:TextButton = kwButtons[i];
item.height = var h:Number = getAscendingH(i, focusSpan.beginIndex-1, focusSpan.yMin, DISTORTION);
Each state of my TextButton is a Sprite that contains a label (TextField w. format) and a background (Shape). The button's height is set when instantiated, and it's value at that point is it's maximum height (as when the mouse is on top of that button when the fisheye is working normally).
If you have any clue (at all) for solving this problem, please reply! Thank you!

And here´s another Pixel Bender/-Astro snippet… called “Fisheye“. This tiny bit of code generates a little fisheye-filter.

Fisheye Flash
First of all, let me say that I am flash illiterate - I design lenses for a living. Specifically I design lenses for dome theaters. For one particular dome theater project we're working on, we would like to implement flash content. One reason for this is that we will have domes of different sizes and resolutions and the vector-based flash content is fully portable, scaling between them without re-rendering - right?
I've spent the last 2 days searching the web for a method to render fisheye images in flash. In the dome theater world this is called a "dome master".
So far it seems Swift (RAV3) is one possible solution. Using the Swift 3d MAX plugin, you can create a 3DS environment, aim the camera at a parabolic mirror and then fly through the world backwards. The alternative is to create a fisheye camera (f-theta).
Can any of you tell me if this idea will work? Is there another way to accomplish this? Has anyone done it before?
Thanks for your help.

[Math] Fisheye Effect
I'm looking for a formula to create the "fisheye" effect on a set of points, as commonly seen in vector graphic editing applications, such as Illustrator of FreeHand. Example:
http://abeall.com/files/temp/fisheye.gif
(This is screen grabbed from FreeHand. Note that FreeHand also bends the edges between the points, I am not worried about this right now)
The following values are known:
Point x,y
Circle/ellipse height and width
Circle/ellipse center point
*I'm assuming that if I can find a reasonable formula, I can easily adjust it so that a "strength" value from -1 to 1 to will result in convex/concave results as shown.
Any ideas as to how to map these points such that it creates the shown "fisheye" distortion would be great.
My only guess, which is a very uneducated guess, is to map the points between 0 and 1 based on how close they are to the ellipse edge along a line forming from the ellipse center which intersects the point. That would be tricky for me, but I think I pull it off with the aid of wikipedia. Then I might be able to re-map those points to a curve formula from Flash's easing equations, and see if I can get interesting results -- but I have no idea if the results will look like what I show.
Thanks for any advice!

Samuel Wan's Fisheye List
Hi,
I am trying to use this Fisheye List component in FMX04, but I cant get it to work at all. I'm just wondering if anyone has used this before, and if someone may be able to help me figure out how to use it. It works fine in the source fla, but when i try to incorporate it into my own files, it doesn't work...I must be missing something, or having issues with component usage? (even copying and pasting the entire fla frames doesnt work...)
here is the demo:
http://www.samuelwan.com/downloads/c...eMenuDemo.html
here is the source file zip:
http://www.samuelwan.com/downloads/c...emenu_1_01.zip
I really needed to figure out a way to dynamically and flexibly list items using a tsunami style list, and I figured this would be a solution... If anyone has other ideas or knows how to create a dynamic tsunami list (that can accommodate any number of entries from an array) I would really appreciate the help!
Thanks=]

2D Fisheye / Tsunami Effect On Grid Of Squares/tiles.
Greetings
I'm sure youre all familiar with the Flex component over at http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/...d-fisheye-v02/ . But since I don't have Flex and I only need this effect on 16 (4x4) tiles, I was wondering if anyone could help me get started in the right direction, in Flash 9, AS2.0.
Does anyone know of any tutorials or script examples I could look at? Or even any other examples of this effect on other websites. Anything can help.
I started out making a very long script for the first square, which basically consisted of 15 tweens. Didnt take me long before I realised I would have to do this all over again, if I suddenly needed 5x5 or even just 4x5.
So, like i said. You help is always greatly apreciated.

Flash Menu With Multiple HTML Pages - How To Pass Variable To Menu On Refresh?
please note this topic is also posted at AS under this title:
Flash Menu 4 HTML pages - pass variables on page refresh
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
So the subject is a hint as to how hard it is to search on this simple idea.
Will be very greatful for some help today!
PROBLEM DETAILS:
I am building a swf menu for an HTML site. It has the following buttons:
SectionA
SectionB
SectionC
What I want to do is modify the text when the HTML page for the correspoding section is loaded. So, if I click on "SectionB", SectionB.html loads. Now I want that button "SectionB" in the swf to have a background glow.
Of course the catch is, that each time a new HTML page loads, it reloads the swf menu (No Frames please!). So, naturally I know I can just tell the swf menu to go to a certain place in the timeline where there is the glow graphic behind "SectionB". But the swf needs a variable saying it is on a Section B HTML page. (of course I could build a seperate swf for each section - but that seems stupid.)
THUS....
MY QUESTION:
How do I pass a variable from a swf on one HTML page (that is being replaced by a new HTML page!), to a swf on a new HTML page.
Can I do this with a GET/POST or something?
Thanks!

Drop Down Menu PROBLEM-Down State For Sub-menu Item Linked To External SWFs?
Hi nice to meet everyone. The drop down menu I'm referring to is located in the main movie. The menu is a movie clip with the buttons inside and I have each button as 'track as menu item' in the properties. The buttons are linked to external swfs that load in the empty movie clip on the main movie stage. Everything loads perfectly no problem. I can't seem to figure out the right code to put on the sub-menu items/buttons in the drop down menu to show the 'down' state when the corresponding movie is loaded (i.e., about-main button, philosphy(menu item). When the 'philosphy' swf loads how do I get the 'philosphy' button that is in the main movie to show the 'down' state until another button is pressed on the menu? I hope I explained myself clear enough without confusing anyone!
Below is a sample of the code that I currently have on the the regular buttons that DO NOT sub-menu items:
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("home");
_root.contents.loadMovie("home.swf");
}
And here is the code that I currently have on the main buttons that have sub-menu items:
on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie("philosphy2.swf");
setProperty("_root.home", _visible, "0");
}
I have searched everywhere on the net, tutorials and still can't find the answer, I've been working on this for almost a week now and I just can't get it right.
Thanks again your help is greatly appreciated!

Dynamic Menu AS2.0/XML - Seperating Main Menu Title MC From Dropdown Item's MC
Hi everyone, this is my first post in this forum, I appreciate all the help
I've got a dynamic menu using AS2.0 that's being populated by an XML file, it's quite complete and is working fine, the only thing I'm having trouble with is assigning a new MC to the Titles so the visual design (Text and background) can be different from the rest of the dropdown menu.
What would have to be done to capture the menuNodes and isolate them form the rest. Below is the XML that I’m using, the highlighted (red, bold, italic) text below is what I’d like to capture and seperate from the rest of the submenus for the menu title in my flash project.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<menu name="Atletas">
<menu name="Clubes">
<submenu name=""></submenu>

Highlighting Menu Option On Flash Menu In HTML Page
Hi Folks,
I have created a Flash menu to work with an HTML based site (the menu is the object in all the pages), but I would like the menu option to stay highlighted when clicked. I've created a series of buttons that highlight when they are scrolled over, but when they are clicked, the button returns to its normal state, as it should. I did come up with a not-so-nice solution, by loading a new movie whenever the user clicks on the option, and the new movie has the menu selection highlighted. Is there a way for the user to click on the menu option and have it stay highlighted until a new menu selection is clicked without having to create mutliple movies?

Is There Anyway To Disable The Flash Player Dropdown Menu (not The Context Menu)
Greetings,
I am aware of how to reset the right-click context menu to just "settings", but when the file is opened in Flash Player directly from a computer instead of on the web, the drop-down menu in the player is still available. You can even press ctrl+enter to play. My searches just come up with solutions to the right-click menu, and I have a client who wants me to get rid of this menu for a game I've already made.
If you don't think there's even a way to do this, could you just tell me that so I can inform my client?
Thank you either way

Help With Pop Up Menu (Sub Menu Buttons) Linking To Frame On Main Timeline
Hi,
I really need help with my flash project. I've created a pop up menu by having 4 buttons on the main timeline which I made into a movie clip which has an instance name of menu_mc. Inside that movie clip I have my sub menu created and the menu works great. My only problem is that I can't seem to link the submenu buttons to the frames created on the main timeline. I've tried all the action script I can think of. One example I am using is
menu_mc.contact_btn.onfiltered= function() {
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", "contact");
}
This is where I am trying to link the Contact Button (which is a submenu button of the About button) to the contact frame which is located on the main timeline. Please help me if you can. Thanks.

Tightest Menu Structure - Switch/case? BEST MENU
I'm looking to start building a new menu. I want to script it as tight as possible. There will be 7 buttons. When one is pressed, I want it to stay "pressed" until another is pressed.
What is the tightest way to structure this? I want to keep all script off of the buttons themselves. I was wondering if using a switch/case type structure would be best.
I searched a bit for what i was looking for, but could not find it. Does anyone have a example/thread they could throw my way?

highlightOne._visible = false;
But have no idea how to make the swf know what page it is on or how to make a highlight visible accordingly.
Can anyone help me out?

Flash Expanding Menu Instead Of Javascript Drop Down Menu?
I am trying to make a flash file that will take the place of a javascript drop down menu. I need to have a slim horizontal menu bar surrounded top and bottom by the rest of the HTML webpage.
The function of the flash menu would be such that when one of the buttons are moused over > the menu would expand over the HTML images below it with more menu buttons.
This is really easy to do with javascript but I want the creative freedom flash offers. Does anyone know how I can create a flash file that can expand larger than it’s original size on the webpage
I have seen some really neat flash banner ads that definitely are on top of other html. Maybe I could do something like that.
Please let me know any ideas or resources I could use to do this.
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!

XML Menu Tute: Reference Item Within Menu Items
With reference to: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti...pdown_menu.htm
Im using a version of this menu, but each menu item has another movie clip inside it.
I cant for the life of me work out how to give this sub clip its own function?
I've tried setting the onRelease to be triggered by the 'background' movie clip of the menu item but this stop the menu working, and when I reference any other sub clips like so: curr_item.someClip.onRelease ...there's also no response.
Where am i going wrong?

How To: Create A Drop Down Menu With XML Data For Menu Items
Can anyone help by showing me or pointing me in the right direction of how I'd go about creating a drop down menu and populating the menu items from an XML file?
I'm creating a tour sort of thing and I have it pulling in the slides of the tour from an XML file and all the next/prev buttons are working fine. I wanted to add a drop down menu from the top that has the menu items pulling in from elements from the XML file. Possible? Ideas?
Thx

Dynamic Menu Question - More Than 9 Items In Sub Menu
Greetings,
I'm trying to use a dynamic menu from an actionscripts.org tutorial.
However it will only allow a maximum of 9 sub menu items. I would like to use up to 20. I believe it involves this line of script:
this[name+n].choice = (i*10) + n;
How would I change the actionscript in this file to allow that?
Thanks in advance.
Here is the relevant script:
//initialize main menu
for (i=1; i<=_root.total; ++i) {
//duplicate movie clip
menuMC.duplicateMovieClip("menuMC"+i, i);
//set new position
this["menuMC"+i]._y = this["menuMC"+(i-1)]._y+this["menuMC"+(i-1)]._height;
this["menuMC"+i].choice = i;
//create a variable to record the levels of the created MCs
levelTrack = i;
}
//initialize submenu by creating and positioning movie clips
for (i=1; i<=_root.total; ++i) {
//check to see if the item has a submenu
if (_root["subText"+i]>=1) {
name = "stext"+i;
for (n=1; n<=_root["subText"+i]; ++n) {
levelTrack += 1;
subMenuMC.duplicateMovieClip(name+n, levelTrack);
this[name+n]._visible = false;
this[name+n].choice = (i*10) + n;
}
//position first submenu item under parent
this[name+1]._y = this["menuMC"+i]._y+this["menuMC"+i]._height;
//position rest of submenu items
for (n=2; n<=_root["subText"+i]; ++n) {
this[name+n]._y = this[name+(n-1)]._y+this[name+(n-1)]._height;
}
}
}
//hide all the submenu items and return the main menu items to their start position
function resetMenu() {
for (i=1; i<=_root.total; ++i) {
if (_root["subText"+i]>=1) {
name = "stext"+i;
for (n=1; n<=_root["subText"+i]; ++n) {
this[name+n]._visible = false;
}
}
this["menuMC"+i]._y = this["menuMC"+(i-1)]._y+this["menuMC"+(i-1)]._height;
}
}
// called by clicking the main menu buttons, this shows the submenu and moves the main menu buttons to give them space
function submenuShow() {
resetMenu();
if (_root["subText"+choice]>=1) {
name = "stext"+choice;
for (n=1; n<=_root["subText"+choice]; ++n) {
this[name+n]._visible = true;
}
this["menuMC"+(choice+1)]._y = this[name+(n-1)]._y+this[name+(n-1)]._height;
for (i=choice+2; i<=_root.total; ++i) {
this["menuMC"+i]._y = this["menuMC"+(i-1)]._y+this["menuMC"+(i-1)]._height;
}
}

Linking Problems W/ Cool Menu FX Menu
Hi, I have a Flash site that I created a side menu for using Cool Menu FX and can be viewed at the link below:
http://www.graphicdesign-nh.com/fc2/fcflashsite.html
The menu loads externally in the Flash site using the LoadMovie command. I set up links for the side menu buttons using Cool Menu FX to go to specific frame labels specified as named anchors (ie., fcflashsite.html#howworks) in the Flash site file. If the menu file is opened in Macromedia Player, the buttons work in that they open the browser window and it goes to the correct anchor label in the Flash site file. However, when the menu is viewed in the site as in the above URL the buttons don't work at all. Any ideas what is wrong? It seems like something simple. Please let me know. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

[F9] Roll-out Menu With Sub-menu: Clickthrough Issues
Simple question - I'm sure this is common, but I couldn't find what I needed:
I have a roll-out menu with several submenus. All are placed on the main timeline however (the submenus aren't inside the main menu MC). The obvious problem is: when the user rolls over one of the sub-menus, the ROLL_OUT action is triggered and the main menu rolls back in.
How can I set a sprite or mc to recognize moue actions, but also allow them to "sink" through to another level?

Drop Menu With Toggle Menu Items
I am having an issue with the toggle state of a couple of buttons in a menu.
I have provided a simplified version of a menu system I am trying to build as a zipfile attachment.
the first menu is empty. For this demonstration it has no purpose but to move the main time line from from frame 1, to frame 2.
The second menu (on frame 3) turns off and on two movie clips that are loaded externally. I have no problem initially loading them, and no problem turning them off and on with the toggle switch's loadMovie and unloadMovie commands.
The problem comes when I've unloaded a movie using the toggle button in the second menu, then click on the first menu. When I've clicked on the 2nd menu again, the toggle switch isn't in the same state that it was last left in. I have no idea how to make it remember which state it was in.
Is there someway I could ask,
"If movie is not loaded, got to off state.
If movie is loaded, go to on state." ?
Here is a zip file with the FLA files and the external SWF's.
Here is the menu in action:

Please help if you can.

Horizontal Scroll Menu With Drop-down Menu Over It
hey guys, i'm running MX 2004 pro.
here's what's going on:
i've got a horizontally-scrolling menu (in a movieclip) that is constructed similarly to the tutorial here: http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/In...-815/index.php
in the same .fla, there is also a drop-down menu, that when down covers part of the scrolling menu. this, of course, triggers the scrolling menu. ideally, the scrolling menu would instead continue to scroll, and be unaffected by a user selecting an item from the drop down menu.
in the timeline, i have the following code pasted onto the instance of the horizontal scrolling menu:
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
xmousepos1 = _xmouse;
ymousepos1 = _ymouse;
if (xmousepos1>xmousepos2 && ymousepos1>-45 && ymousepos1<60) {
_root.scrollclip.nextFrame();
}
if (xmousepos1<xmousepos2 && ymousepos1>-45 && ymousepos1<60) {
_root.scrollclip.prevFrame();
}
if (ymousepos1<-45 || ymousepos1>60) {
play();
}
xmousepos2 = _xmouse;
ymousepos2 = _ymouse;
}
how could i modify this so as not to be affected by the drop down menu? unfortunately, moving the position of the drop down is not an option.
thanks for reading and thanks for your time,
decerebrate
