Flash :: In/out Transitions

Transitions Between External SWFs W/ Symbol Transitions - HELP
So I've been pouring over this forum looking for a solution to my problem. (this is probably a little lengthy, so I apologize in advance).

I've been using the techniques in the tut: Transitioning between external SWFs
to create a little flash movie to be used for work. I've created files to mimic the tut, ALMOST to the T.

Somethings that I have changed... I'm using a transition on a symbol to fade in and out. I'm also using a gray gradient in the first 12 frames as a "woohoo, look at me" intro.

So my problem is that when I start the mainmovie.swf file it's supposed to pull in the first swf file (section1.swf) and go through the same actions as the above tut. But what is REALLY happening is that section1.swf starts, but it's only the gray gradient. When I click on button 2, I get the same gradient, only this one loops (which isn't supposed to happen). Same thing with section 3.

I've gone through the code (which should be right, because I cut/pasted into flash, changing only the file names), but also doesn't mean much, because this is my first dive into AS.

Yes, I have five buttons and only three external fla files, I figured, let me get these working first, and then do the other two buttons.

On top of this, I wanted to get the entire sequence to play and loop three times. But my main concern is to get the buttons working. I would attach the files, but they are too big, even zipped.

HELP PLEASE! Thank you in advance,
~V

Transitions
ok.. i'm fairly new to flash, but am rapidly getting accustomed to it.

anyways - I'm interested in learning how to do transitions.

just for an example... say the user presses a button and a box fades in over the background, then some text fades in over the box.

for some reason, what seems like something fairly easy to achieve is freaking hard for me to figure out. I've gone through many a tuturial and they dont give great information about how an effect like this would be achieved in the scheme of a WHOLE flash site.

I would looooove some help
thanks!

Transitions Between Two Swf
Hello,
I am using FlashMX.
i've got two swf movies, and i want a transition go between the two.
and the transition is a blind closes and re-open, it closes like the intro of
http://www.tedbaker.co.uk

i.e.
When the user click a button,
1. swfA --- the blind closes above the swf
2. swfA changes to swfB (the blind is closed, so we can't see the changes from A to B)
3. the blind opens (we see swfB)

I get stuck in this movie transition problem for quite sometime,
how can i tell the movie to do the changes one by one, and after the blind closes, change the movies, and reopen the blind... ??
or
Is there some kinds of standard action script to perform this action??

Transitions....
Im sure this has been asked before....but I am forced to ask it again.
I will be using 2Advanced.com for an example in this post..(so please refrain from OFF TOPIC COMMENTS)

I curious as to how you get transitions from content to content (I assume they are using external.swfs for each button (right?)

the effect I am looking for is how to get an effect (tween..whatever) to be seen OVER the existing external.swf

Example: when you click on a button in 2A site...the "wall" tweens in 'OVER' the content...does the looping animation..then 'tweens' out..revealing the NEW content underneath. How are they doing this?

I have tried using swapDepth...but it SUCKS...and has a problem with making thngs run SLOW..and sometimes STOP. I also thought about the idea of having the 'tween' animationbe on another layer ABOVE a 'container' MC and have my external.swf's load into this 'container' MC...and once loaded..have it target the 'tween' clip..and start it tweening out (to reveal new content underneath it)...which would be fine... But then how would I have my preloader (which is in the external.swf) show the user how much time is left to load..if the 'tween' clip is ON TOP of the container MC (which the external.swf's will load into??)

More or less..how is 2A achieving this effect? Thanks...sorry for the idiot question....Im just very tired...

-whispers-

Transitions
Is it better to play a transition at the beginning of a swf file when loading in multiple sections? Or is it more efficient to create a MC and load that everytime you play a scene? Any suggestions or if there are other ways of doing this? thanks in advance.

Transitions
Is there a tutorial somewhere on creating transitions from one section in a site to another? I want each of the sections on my site to build when you enter them and break-down when you click on another section. I don't even know where to start, so if anyone knows of a tutorial or can tell me how to organize it, I would appreciate it.

Transitions
Does anybody know of any good transitions from One scene to another?

Transitions
Hello All,

Im building a new site for my self. For ever i have been doing the same old stuff with the way my sites work. Partially because of my action scripting skills being sort of novice. Im trying to step it up a little this time. So any ways i have been trying to find tutorials or some were in the manuals were it covers transitions. I am trying to understand when on a click of a button you can target a MC or a .swf to animate out while the button you just clicked animates your next MC/.swf in. I have thought of cheesy ways to accomplish this but it would not be by uttilizing AS. So how with some kind of script could i target and animate out my swf's or MC's
to give it that smooth tranisition feel. I hope this doesn't seem to weak of a question for a "senior member" of flash kit =P. Any help would be much apreciated.

Thanks.

Transitions Like 2a
How do you make those transitions between clicking links like 2a?

I remember there being a flash store online that had tons of those 2a-like transitions but I can't remember the website.

Help With Transitions
Hi,

I have a multimedia presentation that I am trying to add a transition to. The transition is kind of like a lens shutter, when the user clicks the next button then it closes then opens. my problem is that the next page loads before the shutters close. How can I make the shutters close then open with the new page loaded.

Transitions
Ok, I got reagualr transitions to work. My index.swf has four buttons, "HOME", "PROFILE", PORTFOLIO", "CONTACT". Right and each button loads the right file. It starts with home on opening. That all works.

Now my problem is on the "PORTFOLIO" page I have 2 buttons, "WEB" and "PRINT". Now web of course loads web.swf and same with print. Now I want web.swf to come in on the same transition into index.swf, button in on portfolio.swf. How can I do this?

web. swf will replace portfolio.swf in index.swf and I want it to come in with the same transiton

Any help would be great.

Hey I'm looking for a way to do transitions out of frames with flash, for instance, when you click a button it plays the 'outro' transition, then goes and plays the 'intro' transition for the button pushed, does anyone know an easy and efficient way to do this?

Transitions
Can someone direct me to a good tutorial or site that helps in learning the best ways of creating smooth transitions?

Transitions
My question is how do trasitions occur on the way out of a scene or level? What I mean is, if a buuton is clicked the current scene or level plays it's outro before the next scene or level is loaded in the same place. I would really like to know how this is accomplished. Any hints would be awesome.

SWF Transitions Help Plz
so I followed the tutorial at kirupa.com - here - and I wound up short. The main.swf loads which ever button i click on first, but when I press another... it reloads the same swf that was first clicked.

I followed and triple checked the coding. either im blind or im blind cause im lost.

help plz =)

Transitions
I am trying to design a site so that when a menu item is clicked, there is a transition, and then there is an exit transition (different from the first) when another button is clicked.

What is the best way to go about this? If I load a swf inside the movie, I can only get the first transition.

To see what i am talking about, check out http://www.feiyen.com/v1/mainframe.htm . Notice how nothing ever just dissappears, and all the transitions are different.

I can't find any tutorials or movies to analyze that uses the same concept for an interface. If someone could direct me that would be immensely helpful.

Transitions...
Hi there:
Ive been looking for those kinda transitions that you can see in some sites before loading a part of the site, or an image, and I've found this tutorial
but, there are a lot of actionscript and Im not a master on that.
I don't know how to get the same effect, but maybe mixing animation with actionscript. Maybe using masking... i don't know.
I need to work with this in a website, and I want something that you can set up easily, not to waste a lot of time with that effect.

Maybe someone can help me. tuts, ideas, advices... all welcome.
Thanks in advance guys.

Transitions
hey,

On the link below, how do they make the background fade out/in and fade the text in/out when you click the different buttons?

So if you click "work", the rectangle to the far left fades into a different color, the image fades into a different image and the text in the far right rectangle fades out and the new text fades in. Is this person loading external .swf's for every link or is this done in just 1 file?

Help With Mx.transitions
can someone please tell me how 2 stop this looping without stopping on an actual frame?

var easeType = mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut;
myTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(bar_mc, "_alpha", easeType, 0, 70, 12);
myTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(bar_mc, "_width", easeType, 0,500,31);

i know be patient im new 2 actionscript.

How Do They Do These Transitions?
The transitions that look like they are using a distorted circular mask but pausing every few steps to actually draw the square that is the content section is what I'm looking for...how do they do this?

Swf Transitions... Help
I posted this thread yesterday but seems I confused everyone with what I am asking for so I retitled this thread and made things more clear.

I am trying to make swf transitions in and out of my main mc. In these external swf's I have a intro, a midframe, and a outro. I have read three tutorials on this, but no tutorial addresses using actions in the external swf like button control, etc. Anytime I use a action on the external swf besides these the mc only loads the intro and does not finish with the outro ...

1st frame is:

midframe = 50;

middle frame from above is:

stop();

Last frame is:

_root.container.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf");

The problem is if I try and put buttons with action script, the movie only loads, I cant get it to finish with the outro when I load a different movie. My site is http://callerten.com, and ignore the intro and the music... sorry. But just pretend I have buttons in the external swf's. How can I keep my buttons and everything else but still keep the intro and outro in the swf. I hope this is not still confusing. Please anyone, I'll try anything. I have scene this before, I just dont know what I am doing wrong. Thank you.

Ok so I have this website I'm making, and the main part of the site is contained within a movie located on layer 0. This movie contains only the navigation. When you click on a button in the navigation, I have an external movie loaded on layer 1, and so on. When a movie is loaded, the content is animated in (if that makes sense). What I'd like to do is when a user clicks on a button, the content already there will animate away, and then load the new movie and new content animates in. I can do this with frame labels and animation, but that's a pain as I need to do one for each section and is very time consuming. I'm not very good with Actionscript, but I was wondering if there was any sort of script that would do something like, "if user is in news section and they click on profile, go to this animation and then go here" or something of that sort. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Best Transitions
What is the best way to make a transition between "pages" in a flash site?

For instance, if you don't understand what I'm asking, how can you best make a cool transition when selecting Link "B" to goto page B from page A?

Make sense?

Transitions
Ok, say you have a mc1 and when you click another button to go to mc2, you want mc1 to transition out. Either by fading out or masking out, doesn't matter. How would you acheive this in the actionscript to trigger an "exit" event? Hope this isn't explained in a confusing way, I am a newbie, so play nice.

MC/SWF Transitions
I have a static animation, no buttons or anything. I just want to let one MC play for like 30 seconds or so, have a transition animation that I can resuse, and then play the second MC for 30 seconds and just have these loop back and forth with the same transition.

I would really like to just use .swf's and transition back and forth after 30 seconds of each movie. (my version is Flash MX Pro 2004)

I'm pretty foreign to ActionScript so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks fellas.

I have added the .swf for a visual reference.

More Transitions?
I'm still getting problems with transiions!!!

on the main swf:
_root.loadRight._alpha=0;//set the MC to alpha zero to get the fade up!

on a button press i load GS_con.swf into _root.loadRight and it fades in nicely.

con.onPress = function ()
{
_root.loadRight.loadMovie("GS_con.swf");
extendTween = new TweenExtended(_root.loadRight,["_alpha"],
easingType2,[_root.loadRight._alpha],[100],3,true);
};

on a new button i try to unload the GS_con.swf using this:

cli.onPress = function ()
{
_root.loadRight._alpha=0;// to reset the alpha to zero
unloadMovie(_root.loadRight);
};

the result is it unloads instantly, as asked, but when i click to load again it doesn't do the transition effect?

cheers Rat

MX Transitions Help
enterBut.onPress = function ()
{
extendTween = new TweenExtended(myMC,["_alpha"],
easingType,[myMC._alpha],[50],2,true);
};

the above code fades the image i load into myMC to 50% alpha.

I know this is dumb, but can i do the same thing by attaching some similar cade to a MC and anything that loads into it will fade up????

i can only get it to work from a button press???

Transitions
Hi there

i have always had this problem of page transitions. Say you have a differrent transition for each page, how do you tell flash "leave this page with this transition and play other page with different transition". Does that make sense? For example on this page, click from page to page.

http://www.stenkat.com/#

Do you need to be using variables etc?

Please help.

[F8] Transitions
Is it possible to have to have transitions between slides without doing the presentation stuff (just a normal flash document).

Say I have 3 images how would I have transitions between them (will I have to make a slideshow?)?

[F8] Transitions Help
This is going to sound very silly I am sure but here goes.

I see all these flash sites with page transitions. my question is, how to I code a button so that it plays the tail end of a page animation then loads a specific frame again based on what button is pressed. That may sound confusing, so for example:

http://www.templatemonster.com/flash...tes/15341.html

when you click the section buttons, an animation plays, then the corresponding section comes up. how do I get it so that that happens for each section on my site???

Is it playing one mc then loading a section? Sorry if I am not explaining right, but this is really something I want to figure out.

[f8] MX.transitions
I'm using:

Code:
mx.transitions.TransitionManager.start(folioLink1, {
type:mx.transitions.Fly, direction:0, duration:2, easing:mx.transitions.easing.Elastic.easeOut});
To slide some text into position from the LEFT.

How can I change the >direction< to be from the top, the bottom and or the right?

EDIT****

hmm, okay. I found some documentation for CS3 and they added-

Code:
startPoint:#
-and I just tested it and it does work:

startPoint An integer that indicates a starting position; the range is 1 to 9:

Top Left, 1; Top Center, 2; Top Right, 3; Left Center, 4; Center, 5; Right Center, 6; Bottom Left, 7; Bottom Center, 8; Bottom Right, 9.

But that's not going to work specifically for me. Is there a way to set an x/y start point? *shrug* What I'm seeing right now is that, without a startpoint defined, it brings in my text allong the horizontal line of its final position. I kinda like the simple functionality as it allows me to place an object on stage where I want it then just add the transition and it animated into place. I'm just hoping there is a way to call it in from a different direction (either horizontally or vertically) rather than a set spot.

Using Transitions
Yup Im lost again. Basically I want to get a better understanding of how to use transitions on a regular flash file and not a slide presentation.

I have some movie clips that on click of a button I want to zoom out and alpha out at the same time but I cant get past the zoom part.

I have tried using this example but no dice. Using cs3 but targeting player 8

Code:
stop();

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

entbtn.onRollOver = function() {
//tween clip, property, easing type, initial value, end value, how long, use seconds
var scalexTween = new Tween(this, "_xscale", Strong.easeOut, this._xscale, 250, 1, true);
var scaleyTween = new Tween(this, "_yscale", Strong.easeOut, this._yscale, 250, 1, true);
};
entbtn.onRollOut = function() {
var scalexTween = new Tween(this, "_xscale", Strong.easeOut, this._xscale, 100, 1, true);
var scaleyTween = new Tween(this, "_yscale", Strong.easeOut, this._yscale, 100, 1, true);
};
any help would be great

[F8] Transitions?
Hi all,

I am very impressed by the following site, (okay I'm new to flash, so I'm amused) by how the transition to the next 'page', the way it links.

http://www.duboismeetsfugger.com/

How are such transitions created? I'm sorry if it's a stupid question I don't know what to call this, I've been trying to look for a tutorial that might teach this but I don't know what keywords to use, could anyone enlighten me please?

also a stupider question..
I suppose it is not a new swf since there is not a preloader?
p.s. but I thought different swfs will enable faster loading time, but this swf loads pretty fast, i see no preloader at all

I'd appreciate any helpful reply, thank you very much in advance!

I have been learning Flash for months now but still have some outstanding questions that are not clear. For starters I would love to know how those effects are made on buttons or photos like in template monster templates

Would highly appreciate if someone really knows since most other forums I have tried asking don't even answer

Dear All,

I am a very new user of flash and i really need some help. I would like my movie clip animation to play through, stop, i would then like to have a button that when clicked plays another animation movie click and then returns back to a specific frame onced finished. Its very much like professional websites when changing from e.g a contact us page to the main menu with a transition movie in between

Any help or tutorial would be greatly appriciated

Many Thanks
