Flash :: Infinite Menu

Infinite Menu...infinite Madness
Hi there

I’m making a gallery, with a few thumbnails of my Illustrations and I’m using the infinite menu.

It works great, but there’s one thing that bothers me, the fact that it keeps on moving when you’re not scrolling over it, it’s distracting. I would like to have it ease back to 0 when you move your mouse outside its boundaries, I’m loading the .swf into the main interface and I want it to remain visible, but only to scroll when you move inside its boundaries, other wise it’s running wild even when you’re using the rest of the interface.

This is the code for the infinite menu, as it is now:

onClipEvent (load) {
xcenter = 513;
speed = 1/10.5;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var distance =_root._xmouse-xcenter;
_x -= (distance*speed);
if (_x>0) {
_x = -1109;
}
if (_x<-1109) {
_x = 0;
}
}

Can someone pleez help me solve this, I’m going slightly mad…Thanks

Infinite Menu And Menu With Slider
Hello flashers, i got two questions, if anyone could help me please, i tried to do the infinite menu tutorial and it works, but it results that mine is in a movie that is loaded into another one, and i dont know how to make it recognize the movement of the cursor only in the loaded movie area, and stop working if i go over the root movie. what do i have to define the active area. Well thats one, the other is that i tried to do the menu with slider tutorial, it work great, but how can i make it so that when a movie loaded with one of that buttons, is loaded, the slider stays below that button, that if i go over other button, it slides to it, but on a rollout, gets back to the button corresponding to the movie loaded. I hope i made myself clear enough, i will greatly accept any idea. on that second one, i tried to do the if frame loaded, so that it veryfies if one of the loaded movies is there, and then use a on rollout, but i frankly dont know. And if someone could give me the name of a good book to learn actionscript from scratch, i am a graphic designer, know a lot about photoshop and other tools, but i want to learn flash, and some programing. well thats it for this first message. thanks

Infinite Menu
Hey everyone i have this infinite menu that works great just like in the tutorial on kirupa. I was wondering if it was possible to alter the code so that when you rolloff the menu eases to a stop instead of abruptly stopping would that be a pain to do?

onClipEvent (load) {
xcenter = 480;
speed = 1/10;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
var distance = _root._xmouse-xcenter;
_x += (distance*speed);
_x>0 ? _x=-697 : _x<-697 ? _x=0 : null;
}
}

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Chris

Help On INFINITE MENU
Hello

I tried to apply this INFINITE MENU trick found on this thread http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/infinite.htm

Now instead of 5 buttons, I made an animation with 30 buttons on it and the movice dimension is 800x600

Since I dont know advance ActioinScripting, I just tried to adjust the values on the script on that thread and copied it to mine. It worked somehow but not perfect.

Infinite Menu Changes
I found a menu that I found more than efficient for my personal flash movie I am creating. I was able to change the background brightness, transparency and everything myself to how I want it, however, I'm not sure how to go about editing the text in each button to customize it as my own. Help anyone?

Not So Infinite Menu

thanks

Different Infinite Menu
i saw the tutorial for the infinite menu on this site and it gave me the idea to try to make a new altered one. what would i have to do to create an infinite menu with a total of 10 thumbnails that were all buttons that you could scroll through left and right the same way as the infinite menu on this site, however, only 1 thumbnail at a time would be visible...(kind of like an infinite menu only using masks?) i know sounds messed up but if anyone can think of a way to do this it would rock

Infinite Menu Help
Which part of the AS do I change to make the menu scroll slower?

Code:
onClipEvent (load)
{
xcenter=150;
speed=1/10;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var distance=_root._xmouse-xcenter;
_x+=(distance*speed);
}

Infinite Menu Help
I followed the tutorial and have no problems setting it up. My problem is that my movie width is 760 and my menu of logos is 1700. Is there a way to get it to work properly with this size? Is there another method other than the menu tutorial here that would help with this issue? Thank you.

Infinite Menu Help
Hi all,

Can anyone help? I've created an infinite menu of scrolling photos that is loaded into a larger Flash file. I need to make the action in the infinite menu stop (so the photos stay frozen in their current position) when the cursor leaves the boundary of the menu. As it is now, the menu continues to react to the mouse position no matter where it is in the larger Flash file.

The action script I've used for the menu is:

onClipEvent (load){
xcenter=557.5;
speed=1/20;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame){
var distance=_root._xmouse-xcenter;
_x-=(distance*speed);
if (_x > 0) _x=-2250;
if (_x < -2250) _x=0;
}

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Infinite Menu Help
the setup for my page, is i have the main page and content in home.swf and in that i load infinitemenu.swf into a container at the bottom of the page and everything works properly, but the infintie menu moves according to where the user's mouse is anywhere on the home.swf and i want it to only to move accordingly just when the menu is moused over, so that it doesnt move when you are cruising around the rest of the page. I suspect i have to have some kind of restraints on the _y.mouse variable but then again i have no idea. Thanks for any help you can give.

Infinite Menu
Hey all,

I am trying to build this page using the infinite menu so that when the button is clicked, the scrolling will stop. However, what i really want is when the button is clicked, i want that specific button to scroll into the middle. Right now, the movie just stops as soon as it has been clicked. So is my request possible or hard to accomplish??

thanks in advance.

The Infinite Menu
I have a movie clip that goes for 352 frames, and is actually a 360 degree room that swings round to the right.
i want to be able to apply something like the infinite menu to play through the frames both to the right and to the left (by running thru the movie backwardly). is this possible and if so, how??
i'm relatively new to flash, so if you can help me please try to keep it in simple words or describe what you mean!
thankyou so much if you can help me!!!!

Not Infinite Menu
I ´ve learned how to do an infinite menu, but for my project, it would be better if the menu stopped at the end instead.

I´ve read about infinite menu on
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/infinite.htm

I´ve searched around kirupa but found nothing.

Any help?

The Infinite Menu By Pom?
I did the tutorial from Pom "The Infinite Menu" http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/infinite.htm wich I enjoyed very much
What I would like to know is how I create this effect without the mouse behaviour and how do I accomplish it that when the movie reaches it's destination point _x=-300 that it reverse (I mean moving in the other direction so it's moving from right to left and left to right and so on)

Thank you all in advance

Hey,

I've been working with the infinite menu tutorial. When I completed the tutorial, it worked fine. But now that I'm trying to customise it to my own specs, it doesn't work.

Hi!

I am trying to work out something with this tutorial:

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/infinite.htm

I have one movieclip (menu) that is made by 6 pictures x 100 pixels = 600 pixels. I have repeated it into menu_general. So as I figure it out it is 1200 pixels as a totall.

This is the code that I have assigned to the menu_general movieclip:

Code:
onClipEvent (load)
{
xcenter=600;
speed=20/400;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var distance=_root._xmouse-xcenter;
_x+=(distance*speed);
if (_x > 0) _x=-1200;
if (_x < -1200) _x=0;
}
The result can be viewed here:

http://www.redpoint.se/infinite/

It doesn't work as it should. Can anyone please tell me what I have done wrong here?

I have attached my scroll.fla file if someone feels like taking a look at it.

Would be nice with some help!

The Infinite Menu
Hi

I've completed this tutorial and its working like magic - cheers ilyas. Could I have some help with some changes I am making that I am having a challenge with?

I've moved the main menu MC to frame 2. I've made a button with one of the menu that makes up the slider and placed this on the first frame. This btn is assigned gotoAndPlay(2). Both of these frames I've assigned stop() to. So now there's no action until a mouse event. So good so far. What I need help with is to have another mouse event take the movie back to frame 1 so the menu stops sliding when the user's mouse is know longer over the flash object on a page.
