Expand & Contract
I have 8 navigation buttons arranged horizontally.
The up state for all the buttons is the same. It's 2 arrows... like this >>
The over state for each button is different.
Thoughts on scripting the buttons to move to the left and right of when one of the buttons is 'moused-over'??
I've had limited success....since the 'hit' area is only the size of the arrows and the link text is larger than this area....
Thoughts? Examples?
Thanks a ton,

Expand Contract
Imagine you have a grid of movieClips on the stage. When mousing over any one of the mcs, that mc will expand it's x&y scales to be a bit bigger. The effect i am looking for is getting the other mc's to pull away or make room around that expanding mc, and then to contract back to their original positions. I have the retraction to original positions down (simply assigned original x&Y to each mc class, and a bit of ease on the way back in), but the expansion is random at best. At present, i have mcs moving everywhere and i can not seem to nail down the trig on this. Can anyone give a good direction to go with this method? Is there a common name for this effect which i can google?

Webmaster Contract.....please Help
I've been asked by a local company here to be their permanet webmaster, and to provide them with a contract for such a job. I've been writing a few things but I'd like to know if there's anything that you have experienced in the past that should be included in a contract to save one's a$$. I'm clueless as to what a contract should or shouldn't have, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks a lot

Help First Contract In Danger Due To Plugin Issue
Hi,
Big problem came up. I'm starting an online education company and produced my first course using Flash MX. I had a company call me last week wanting to purchase the course. One person viewed the course fine, but two others couldn't view it. I thought I had this problem fixed, and had tested it out on different systems with no problem. But apparently not. I have to talk with them on Monday to work it out. If I don't, then no contract!
The course has video embedded. I originally had problems until plugin 6.0.29 came out, and after that, things seemed to work fine.
I thought it might be a firewall issue, but the guy who could view it is in the same building and thus probably behind the same firewall. They were both using Win2K, and I know the one who couldn't view the course was using IE5.5. They loaded the plugin from the Macromedia site, and rebooted their computer. Still didn't work.
Can people give me some input so when I talk to them on Monday I might be able to try some different things? The course is at:
http://design4X.com/courses.html Choose the free preview for "Customer Focused Design Using QFD" (I use javascript launchwin to open the swf)
Direct access is at:
http://design4x.com/courses/qfd/high/qfd-preview.html
Thanks! I will be eternally grateful.

Contract Flash Developers - Where Do They Hang Out?
First, my apologies to the forum Moderators if this is a violation of forum rules. I am not attempting to post a help wanted ad, but rather inquire where the best places are to do so.
We are a Minneapolis-based communications and design firm and we are in need qualified Flash developers. We are looking mainly for independent contractors, but we don't rule out hiring should we meet the right person. The Flash contractors would have to be in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area because the nature of our projects requires close teamwork and our experience has been that exclusively virtual teams don't work well for our business.
We have found Monster.com and the other big boards are not a great fit for advertising for contract developers. So where do all the Flash contractors hang out? Could someone please point me to some of the more-likely places to post for quality resources?
Thank you.
ECommerce Contracts. Commission Contract.
Okay, does anyone have a contract for something like this or ever done a contract for something like this?
I'm building an eCommerce Site for a business and they are offering me 10% of all sales completed through the site for as long as they use the site. I teach them how to add and remove items and such. Once I am done, I do not have to update anything, unless they want a revision with an extra charge. You guys have any ideas or references or resources that could help me out???

Flash Animators Needed For Contract Based Work
Hello,
My name is Rich and currently work full time at a financial institution that i'll go without naming. I also have a IT solutions firm that has been in business for over a year. www.paradoxsolutions.com
Things are really starting to pick up for us and i want to take our site to the next level. I designed this site over a year ago and merely services as a presence on the web. Seeing that my time is limited I cannot re-design the site from scratch nor can i put forth the effort to learn flash extensively. I recently purchased a template that will save me time...now i want to modify the template and make it mine. Really the template is a 2advanced studios rip-off--looks remarkably similar to www.foundstone.com. Anyways, i have contacts in france and germany that do flash work for me from time to time and are dirt cheap. They will be unavailble due to extended projects they both have and i must now look for some good flashers that can help me in my projects. The first of which is re-designing www.paradoxsolutions.com. If anyone is interested in making some money on the side for some flash animation work please contact me ASAP, so i can give you more details. Ideally i want to work with someone who is friendly and willing to work things out. Arrogant designers need not apply. Please contact me at vinhaisr@paradoxsolutions.com for further details. Thanks for your time.
P.S.
I'm quite anxious on getting this underway, so please contact me ASAP to work out details.
PixelMover Class - Explode & Contract Pixels And Stuff
Hello, not sure if anyone has done stuff like this before, so thought I would post it and see what people think.
Try it:
http://flash.sitdap.com/pixelmover
Download source:
pixelmover_src.zip
...you create an instance of pixelmover, and give it a sprite with any graphics in.
methods:
spreadPixels(maxRadius:int) - maxRadius default value is 200
- will randomly splay the pixels of your given sprite about the place, staying within the maximum radius
movePixels(speed:int) - speed default is 6, lower is faster.
- at the moment, all this does is move back the pixels to their original position, then when they arrive it fades back to the original bitmap and removes itself from its parent. When it is all done, it dispatches an event called "PIXELS_MOVED".
so this is how I would use it:
Code:
var myPixelMover:PixelMover = new PixelMover(mySprite);
myPixelMover.spreadPixels(100);
addChild();
myPixelMover.addEventListener("PIXELS_MOVED", moveHandler);
myPixelMover.movePixels(4);
function moveHandler(evt:Event) {trace("the pixels are back where they were")
}
..It should adapt to any size you make your sprite, but I fear about performance issues with so many pixels and all.
Comments are welcomed - bad or good as I don't know whether everything is fully efficient as it could be. Feel free to add to it if you think it needs something!
cheers,
TD
How To Expand A Swf?
I have a liquid layout with external swfs loading into holders. however the holders are a dynamic size depending on the size of the stage. this means that depending on if the user is in a 4:3 display or a 16:9, it may get skewed (16:9) display. I was wondering if there was a way to tell flash to expand the background color of the eternally loaded swf, but keep the content placed in the center?

Cannot Expand Movieclip Any More
I have a movie that I inherited that I think was made with Flash 5. I am working on a movie clip in it that scrolls almost 40 thumbnail images (now) horizontally using < > buttons. That's all good. I was adding thumbnails one by one and the movie clip area would expand to include them each time, until now. I have about 3 more to add and the movie clip won't expand any more. I can expand how far the 'scroll' will go to well beyond where the thumbnails end, but I can't physically add them any more. The properties box for the movie clip won't allow me to make the width larger either, but I think it would just stretch the symbol anyway, distorting it.
I had posted this problem in an other area yesterday and someone wanted to see the .fla file. I didn't know how to attach that. All I see is the Attach Code button below and that doesn't sound appropriate. So if someone wants to see it, please let me know how to do that.
Thanks,

Expand Shape?
Hey guys, I had a technique question, I have a graphic of a long rounded rectangle, and its a photoshop-produced graphic so its fancy and nonvector and all that.
I also have a squareish version of it (still rounded corners, but L and W are same, as opposed to being a rectangle) and I'd like to know how to expand the squarish one to form the original rectangle graphic
Let me know on your techniques =D
Possible To Expand The Height Of An Swf On The Fly?
Hi
Is there any function that allows to do this? Say I have an swf that is 400 pixels high and i add some content into it that is say 600 high, can I expand the whole swf's height to fit this new content or is using a scrollpane or something the only way this can be done?

Graphic Expand On Rollover
Has any one seen the http://www.airforce.com web page.
If so you will see some very fast and very smooth expanding interface graphics.
I have a client that has requested this type of interface.
So far I have been able to actionscript a prototype that totally works using flash MX (exported as flash 4)...
But it runs slower and slightly more jerky than the air force site. I have tried cranking up the frame rate and using more frames, and also using less frames to no avail.
FYI: I am the serious artist/profectionist type. The difference in playback speed is small (My client probly wouldn't care)
but it annoys me.
If anyone has ideas for a Flash/Actionscript development direction for me that would be great.

Image Shrink & Expand
Hello all. I'm a little unsure what is causing my image to 'shrink' & 'expand' when I have not transformed the image in any way.
Here is what I did: I stared with an image, converted it into a symbol. Then I changed the alpha 0% to 100% and back....all with the motion tween.
http://216.197.105.184/flash/my_first_tween.html (look closely at the center of the image)
Does anyone know what would cause this, or how to correct the problem?
Thanks!
Expand Text Box To Fit Content?
Hi,
I am loading various external text files with html formatting.
I have the textbox set to dynamic, multiline, render as html, characters embedded.
My text shows up fine, except it does not fit in the box.
As I do not know how much text is going to be loaded, I was hoping the text box would just expand to take whatever was loaded?
is that possible?
plus for some calculations I am getting the height of the mc containing the text box, which is not changing of course

How Can I Expand This Function To Include X And Y
I want to add the ability to dictate where this clip goes on the x and y..... How would I do it?
Thanks.
[as]
function scaleTo(movie, targetScale, speed, tolerance) {
movie.createEmptyMovieClip("scaleControl", 1);
movie.scaleControl.targetScale = targetScale;
movie.scaleControl.speed = speed;
movie.scaleControl.tolerance = tolerance;
movie.scaleControl.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.currentScale = this._parent._xscale+(this.targetScale-this._parent._xscale)/this.speed;
if (Math.abs(this.targetScale-this._parent._xscale)>this.tolerance) {
this._parent._xscale = this.currentScale;
this._parent._yscale = this.currentScale;
} else {
this._parent._xscale = this.targetScale;
this._parent._yscale = this.targetScale;
this.removeMovieClip();
}
};
}
//then you only need to write
scaleTo(movieName, 300, 3, 1);
//whenever you want to scale something.
Expand Textinput Component
Is there any way you can expand a text input component to a fixed size when the user clicks on it? Or popup an input text box you can type into. I'm trying to create a form and need to save space so I was hoping there would be a way to just have the textinput component small but once they click on it, a box comes up where they can type more. They would need to be able to close the new box but I don't want to use popups.
Making A Line Expand
Hey im just having some simple trouble with lines. I wan't to say before i proceed that i learnt this thing by myself but the problem im having is that i can't remember how to do it. It goes like this:
Lets start with a round cirkel (draw it up and place it), then i want it to expand to a line so it looks almost like a writing effect, like im drawing with a pencil. Like this: (Phase 1) - (lets say that line is the dot) and it expands to: -----------. The line where it began doesnt move its stays, i just want it to expand forth or follow the guidlines i assign it to. I remember only using guidelines and morphing, more than that i dont know so pls help me :'(
[F8] Expand Button Range
Hello
I have a series of buttons that load text from an external file. Right now it is set for 7 buttons. But I want to expand it to over 100 or so. How would I do that wit this script. I believe it has something to do with the last line ("(-1)-1]") but I don't really understand this script. Can some one show me how to expand it to a larger number of buttons pleas.
Thanks. Code follows
stop();
var my_array=new Array();
dtext.html = true;
var buttonText:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
buttonText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (!success) {
dtext.htmlText = "<b>FAILED TO LOAD</b>";
} else {
for(var i=1; i<7; i++) {
mc=eval("this.button"+i);
my_array.push(mc);
_root["mcbutton"+i].onRollOver = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
assignText(this);
}
_root["mcbutton"+i].onRollOut = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay(21);
dtext.htmlText = "";}
}
}
};
buttonText.load("buttonText.txt");
function assignText(who){
dtext.htmlText = my_array[who._name.substr(-1)-1];
