Gorillaz.com Panning & 3d

Gorillaz Like Web Site
Hello.
I'm a designer and right now I'm working on a project for some hotel. Anyways.. I would want to recreate that effect or should we say remake that style from the www.gorillaz.com.
Now, I need to create many rooms so one can explore the hotel (Hotel is very expensive so they can affort this what I'm doing). instead of just placing pictures in html, I would like to create pseudo 3D rooms with images and interactive content just like gorillaz web page. Does anyone have a source for that or something similar to that?

-Thank you very much.

360 Panning Mc
Hi can anybody help.

My problem is that I have made a 360 panning mc. But when viewed on the net it runs very rough but fine on my pc or when viewed by going straight to its url.

To see what I mean goto http://businessdigital.com.au/virtual3.html that seems to run ok. Then for the way it should look goto http://www.businessdigital.com.au/main.html then once loaded about 100k click on the camera then view samples in the main window then enlarge image.

Any suggestion must appreciate.

Help With Panning
Hello, I want to make a portfolio for myself but the only problem is that I cant seem to find any tutorials on how to pan an image both the _x and _y axis'. Ive followed a tutorial by kirupa.com :http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flas..._image_pan.htm but that only does the x axis, and when i tried to make my own AS for the y axis i got it to pan up and down.. but it would just keep going down and the side you went to was inverted so that if you went to the right it would go left.
Also I was wondering if there is any tutorial on how to make a 2d/3d bg like the one found here:
http://www.chromazone-imaging.co.uk/flashindex.html
e.g. how the things in the BG seem to scroll over eachother depending on position of the mouse.

any help at all would be greatly appreciated, ive been trying to get help on image panning for 3-4 weeks now and cant find any good solution
-Thanks in advance, James

Mc Panning
Code:
_root.onMouseMove = function() {
if (_root.video_target.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)){
slide(video_target.slider, 5, 1, 1);
}
};


function slide(target:MovieClip, speed:Number, dir:Number, ver:Number) {
var xMove:Number = _xmouse/521;
var yMove:Number = _ymouse/315;
var xSpeed:Number;
var vSpeed:Number;
if (dir != 1) {
xSpeed = 1-xMove;
} else {
xSpeed = xMove;
}
if (ver != 1){
vSpeed = 1-yMove;
} else {
vSpeed = yMove;
}
target.destX = Math.round(-((target._width-521)*xSpeed));
target.destY = Math.round(-((target._height-315)*vSpeed));

target.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (target._x == target.destX) {
delete target.onEnterFrame;
} else {
target._x += Math.ceil((target.destX-target._x)*(speed/100));
}
if (target._y == target.destY){
delete target.onEnterFrame;
} else {
target._y += Math.ceil((target.destY-target._y)*(speed/100));
}
};
}
the preceding works exactly as i want it to.. the catch is, it only does so in it's own swf.. meaning, i want to use it as an external swf embedded in another movie... when it's on it's own, the panning will stop if the edge of mc hits the border, when it's called externally the panning won't stop!

i feel like i've tried everything i can (obviously not!).. where you see 521 and 315 there WAS Stage.width/height and that code was on the external swf itself, in an attempt to stop the panning when it should i tried putting the code in the parent movie and changing some variables, which worked the same with no avail.


here's a link if my babbling wasn't clear enough: http://www.jahdesign.com/flash/

also.. i would like for it to pan only if the mouse moves over the panning clip, it currently pans based on where the mouse is over the parent movie.. i've made multiple attempts at changing this as well, with no luck.. thanks

Help With Some Panning
I have this website I'm working on and I'm trying get this panning aspect to work right. The problem is that I'm not getting the numbers right somewhere and can't get the whole image that is panning to show up. Also when a browser window is resized I can't get the pan to resize as well, if that makes any sense. I've found website one that does what I want to do somewhat:

http://www.vermeersch.ca/

Just click on explore and you'll see how the panning works.

Here's my Actionscript:


Code:
stop();

import com.McSliderB;

Stage.scaleMode="noScale";
Stage.align="TL";

var myclip:MovieClip = _root.img;
var myeasing:Number = .9;
var myX:Number = 0;
var myY:Number = 0;
var myviewW:Number = 1440;
var myviewH:Number = 800;
var mystartX:Number = ((myclip._width - myviewW)/2); //want the image to start centered
var mystartY:Number = ((myclip._height - myviewH)/2); //want the image to start centered

//new McSlider(yourMovieClip, easing, clipX, clipY, aperature_width, aperature_height, initial_x_Offset, initial_y_Offset);
var nMC:McSliderB = new McSliderB(myclip, myeasing, myX, myY, myviewW, myviewH, mystartX, mystartY);
The "myview" dimensions are 1440x800 and my image is 3000x5000(huge I know), and the stage dimensions are 1800x1500. Not sure if the stage dimensions matter or not though but they seem to have some influence on whether the panning works right or not.

And here's the class, McSliderB:


Code:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;

class com.McSliderB {
private var __mc:MovieClip;
private var __mcp:MovieClip;
private var __ease:Number;
private var __control:MovieClip;

private var __yDiff:Number;
private var __yScale:Number;
private var __yPos:Number;
private var __xDiff:Number;
private var __xScale:Number;
private var __xPos:Number;

private var __imgW:Number;
private var __imgH:Number;
private var __rect:Rectangle;


//new McSlider(yourMovieClip, easing, clipX, clipY, aperature_width, aperature_height, initial_x_Offset, initial_y_Offset);
public function McSliderB(_mc:MovieClip, _ease:Number, _clipX:Number, _clipY:Number, _apertureW:Number, _apertureH:Number, _xoff:Number, _yoff:Number) {
// your clip to pan
__mc = _mc;
// amount of easing - .7 works well
__ease = _ease;
// store the clip's parent in a variable, it will be used for _xmouse, _ymouse
__mcp = __mc._parent;
// get the initial width and height of the images
__imgW = __mc._width;
__imgH = __mc._height;
// position the clip to x, y
__mc._x = _clipX;
__mc._y = _clipY;

// turn on cache
__mc.cacheAsBitmap = true;

// I decided to run the onEnterframe within another clip vs. __mc
// just incase __mc contained an animation or some other onEnterFrame events
__control = __mc.createEmptyMovieClip("controller", __mc.getNextHighestDepth());

// create a new rectangle - position your clip to the offsets and aperature width / height

__rect = new Rectangle(_xoff, _yoff, _apertureW, _apertureH);
// set the clip's scrollRect
__mc.scrollRect = __rect;

// button events to control movement start / stop
__mc.onRollOver = Delegate.create(this,initiateMovement);
__mc.useHandCursor = false;
}

private function killMovement():Void {
delete __control.onEnterFrame;
}

private function initiateMovement():Void {
delete __mc.onRollOver;
__control.onEnterFrame = Delegate.create(this,calcXY);
}

private function calcXY():Void {
// calculate the Y offset / positions
__yDiff = __mcp._ymouse-__mc._y;
__yScale = __yDiff/__rect.height;
__yPos = __yScale*(__imgH-__rect.height);

// calculate the X offset / positions
__xDiff = __mcp._xmouse-__mc._x;
__xScale = __xDiff/__rect.width;
__xPos = __xScale*(__imgW-__rect.width);

// set the rectangles offsets
__rect.x = __xPos-(__xPos-__rect.x)*__ease;
__rect.y = __yPos-(__yPos-__rect.y)*__ease;

__mc.scrollRect = __rect;

//detect hit area
if(!__mc.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
killMovement();
__mc.onRollOver = Delegate.create(this,initiateMovement);
}
}
}
I grabbed that from an old thread here on Kirupa.

If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it, I'm really confused on what's going on.

Have A Look At This Panning...
www.eduardo-chillida.com/

A really nice example of pannaning and dissolve. Now, my question: can this be emulated using the slideshow by Todd Dominey?

It uses the mx.transitions classes and I've had some success but am stuck!

The code in question looks like this:

Scroll_x = new mx.transitions.Tween(thisLoader, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeInOut,-200,-150,10,true);

Fade = new mx.transitions.TransitionManager.start(thisLoader, {type: TransitionTypes[1], direction: 0, duration: _global.fadetime, easing: EasingCat[_l2], _maxDimension: thisLoader._height, shape: "CIRCLE"});

The images are loaded in from a folder using an XML script.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful.

Help With Panning An Image
Hi,
In my movie, a user can pan a map image left, right, up and down. I have made buttons for each direction and they continuously scroll when the mouse is over the button. At the moment the map (movie clip called "map") keeps scrolling until it disappears off the movie but I would like the map to stop when the edge of the map reaches the end of the display area.
The movie size is 550px (width) by 520px (height). The map size is 519.9 (height) by 746.8 (width) and the dimensions are -9.7x (left), -195.1y (up), 510x (right) and 551.7y (down). I have a display area with the following dimensions 48.3x (left), 40.6y (up), 497.7x (right) and 434.6y (down). I only want the map to appear when it is in the display area.

The ActionScript code that makes the map scroll continuously is the following:-
setProperty ("/map", _y, Number(getProperty("/map", _y))+18);
x_value = getProperty("/map", _x);
y_value = getProperty("/map", _y);

I want the left map edge (-9.7x) to scroll across to the right but only as far as the left display area edge (48.3x) and then to stop scrolling. Does anyone know how to do this??? I have tried with some if statements but nothing has worked. Also, is _x the x value taken from the left or the centre???

Hope someone can help me!!

Sound Panning
I hope someone out there can help me with this. I can't seem to be able to get 2 sound objects to pan separately. This is what I have so far,

I've initialised 2 sound objects, mySound1 and mySound2:

mySound1 = new Sound();
mySound1.attachsound ("sound1");
mySound1.start( 0,999 );

mySound2 = new Sound();
mySound2.attachsound ("sound2");
mySound2.start( 0,999 );

Now I want to have the two sounds panning separately, i.e.

mySound1.setPan( -50 );
mySound2.setPan( 50 );

Except what ends up happening is that both mySound1 and mySound2 are panned at 50. I'm assuming that Flash does not provide the capabilities for panning 2 separate sound objects, does anyone know if this is so? And if not, how I could get around it?

Thanks!

Mike

Panning Up A Building
Thank you

Basically, Im trying to produce a building that gives the effect of scrolling up it in a game

Now I want rows of 3 windows that continually get produced, so they appear under the stage, then move up the stage, then get removed !

This will give the appearance of panning up the building.
so you get a grid like formation of windows in rows of 3.
Row appears, moves up, gets deleted

In these windows I will try and get different baddies to appear and do differnet things..(dont know how yet ???!!)

I could attach a sketch if it helps

Thanks again

Panning In Flash Mx
Grr. I've search a number of places but have had no success on finding an answer to my simple (i think) question.

I'm developing a website. The main page is a map of sorts. A user click on an area of the map and is brought to a close version of that section. This is done.

Now, what i'd like to do is when the user has clicked on the map and are brought o the closeup, is for them to be able to scroll around the map to the other sections as well, instead of having to go back to the main image map. I figure i'll use a 4 arrows for up down left and right. In any case, when they are moving around the map, they should also be able to click on the sections.

So yes, all i need to know is how to pan around an image. I've gone to google but almost everything i turn up involves panning audio and the rest is about zooming or 3d enviroments.

THank you for your help.

Panning Bitmaps
I am trying to create a very simple movie in which photographs slowly pan or zoom-in as one would see in a documentary video. This is easy enough to do, but when published, the bitmaps get a wierd jiggle effect as they slowly move. Is this just inherent in flash or is there a way to get a smoother transition? thanks

Panning Question
If you click this link:

Panning Image With AS
I am using the following code to pan an image based on the mouse position. All works fine except I want the image to slide to the correct position with easing if you move the mouse off of the stage and then reenter the mouse in a different position from when you left. Right now, what it does is snaps to the mouse instead of sliding to it.


Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("holder", 1);
holder.attachMovie("image", "image", 1);
holder._x = 0;
holder._y = 0;
slope = (Stage.width - holder._width)/Stage.width;
vertSlope = (Stage.height - holder._height)/Stage.height;

curXPos = holder._x;
curYPos = holder._y;

_root.onMouseMove = function(){
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
_root.holder._x = slope*_xmouse;
_root.holder._y = vertSlope*_ymouse;

curXPos = _root.holder._x = slope*_xmouse;
curYPos = _root.holder._y = vertSlope*_ymouse;
trace("x:" + curXPos);
trace("y:" + curYPos);
delete(this.onEnterFrame);
}
}
Can somebody take a look or give me an idea as to how I can make it slide to the mouse from the images current position with easing instead of snapping to it? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Panning Background - Please Help
Hello all.

I'm trying to create a scene where my background can pan.. when I scroll my cursor to near the end right of the screen, it will pan right, when the cursor is near the left end of the screen it pans left.

The best example of what I want to create is the bottom panning thumbnails:
this tutorial for thumbnails
Sadly, I do not know how to replace those codes. I need take away the XML and replace it with my background in a movie clip, I believe?

In the tutorial, they used 2 boundaries to set the area when the cursor enters the area it pans. When cursor is out of area the background stops panning, that's what I want most importantly.

Because I am currently relying on this: and the easing is too much to take!
http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=202991

I would sincerely appreciate any help that would be useful, please, help me I'm so desperate now.

[CS3] Image Panning HELP
Hi,

here's my file :
http://www.muellerdesign.com/aftp/te...ate-Dv1.0.html

so I have sort of have an image reel than pans on mouse move and when you roll over on the image a white box pops in.

Each photo is an button that makes up 1 movie clip on the main timeline that gets controlled by a script on the main timeline also

here's what I want to happen:
I was hoping that when I roll over those white boxes that pop in, the main movie clip will go to a specific place on the stage (with easing) and the panning script on mouse over will be disabled until I roll out.

I'm a total newbie, and this is way too complicated for me, but i have to do it.
pls help:

here's the script for the panning


this.onMouseMove = function() {
constrainedMove(MC,5, 1);
};
function constrainedMove(target:MovieClip, speed:Number, dir:Number) {
var mousePercent:Number = _xmouse/Stage.width;
var mSpeed:Number;
if (dir == -1) {
mSpeed = 1-mousePercent;
} else {
mSpeed = mousePercent;
}
target.destX = Math.round(-((target._width-Stage.width)*mSpeed));
target.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (target._x == target.destX) {
delete target.onEnterFrame;
} else {
target._x += Math.ceil((target.destX-target._x)*(speed/100));
}
};
}

stop();



here's an actionscript for making movie clips move with ease to s specific place on the stage


onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
xMC = getProperty(_root.MC, _x);
moveMC = _root.xTargetMC - xMC;
setProperty(_root.MC, _x, yMC + (moveMC/10));
}


is there a way to combine these???? sorry im losing my mind.

[F8] Panning Out From The Stage

Magnifying And Panning
Hi Guys

Need help!

I am creating a Map magnifying application which can also pan.

There are 2 maps that i have used. One is smaller version and other is large.
There is one more movieclip which moves only in the small map area. Following is the code used.

mySquare.onPress = function() {
if (this.hitTest(smallMap)) {
this.startDrag(this, 30, 215, 220, 360);
}
};
mySquare.onRelease = function() {
this.stopDrag();
};

By the above code the movieclip(mySquare) remains in the smallmap area.
The x and y coordinates of movieclip mySquare (multiplied by -2) is given to big map(myMap) which pans as the mySqaure movieclip moves.

Below is the script for that

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.myMap._x = (_root.mySquare._x*-2);
_root.myMap._y = (_root.mySquare._y*-2);
}

My problem is the coordinates of large map and small map don't match. I mean when i magnify a area in the small map it doesn't show the magnification of area selected by mySqaure but something else.

I would like to know if i am using correct logic. And if yes how do i solve it.

any help or suggestions are welcomed.

Yet Another Panning Question
hi
im trying to create my own panning function or class but i cant figure how to make some point of myMc static relative to the stage.
Open the fla to see what im talking about.
My aproach was to add the myMc._x+myMc.line._x to get my first relative point to reference later but since myMc.line._x is always the same after i increase or decrease scale this is not the solution.
My objective is to maintain static the myMc.line._x relative to the stage after increase or decrease myMc._xscale.
I have been reading about the subject but couldnt find a way to do it ,
the only thing i found that maybe can help is the method localToGlobal()
but dont know how to use it with my code.

Thanks.

3d Panning Layer
hmm, so here it is

when I move the mouse, each layer moving at different speeds, but the movement is a bit buggy, it's like when moving diagonally it'll move like stair, instead of diagonal line

when moving horizontally or vertically, it's moving to the direction, stop then move a bit again.

anyone know how to fix this so they'll have smooth movements?

Panning Image Help
Hello

Im having a bit of trouble on the panning image im working on. Theres a couple things I wanna do to it but im not quite sure how. Im useing partial code form the infinate menu tutorial but added a y axis onto it. Im working with a really big image so Instead of making the image infinate, how would I set up boundries so that the image could scroll to a certain point and then stop when it reaches the end. the map movie code is just this.

onClipEvent (load)
{
xcenter=350;
ycenter=200;

speed=1/20;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var distance=_root._xmouse-xcenter;
_x+=(distance*speed);
var distance=_root._ymouse-ycenter;
_y+=(distance*speed);
}




I also wanted to make it so the camera zooms in at certain points on the image. Any help is very much appreciated as always.

Thanks in advance,
Zach

Sound Panning.
i'm making a game with tanks at the moment, and there will be explosions happening from side to side on the screen.

i was thinking that it would be good to pan the sounds, so explosions on the right of the stage would play on the right speaker etc.

i tried to do this by creating new sound objects for each explosion and then setting the pan for each, individually, but it seems that when i set the pan for one sound object, it sets that for all of them. is there a way around is?

thanks in adv
