Flash :: Interactive Buttons?

Interactive Buttons
Hi I was hoping someone could help me.

I want to create a section of buttons, there purpose isn't important. What I would like to achieve is:

1) When I hover over a button it fades in and out
2)When the button is clicked the button is fully faded in
3)If the user hovers over another button the first button is still highlighted as the current button fades in and out, but when it's clicked the first button fades back out and this button is fully faded in.

All buttons start with an alpha around 70% and when it fades out this is the value it fades out to.

I'm quite new to flash MX but I think my knowledge on how to do things is fine its just how to go about putting it all together to achieve the right results if that makes sense? so any help would be sooo appreciated.

Thanks,

Helen

Interactive Music Buttons
i'm trying to work out how to make 6 buttons each with a four bar loop of music
1:kick drums
2:hi hats
3:bassline
4:acid line
5:tune
6:snare rush
so that people visiting my site can sort of do a bit of remixing
this needs to be done in such a way that when you click a button it plays continuously until you click it again, but also if you click another button it waits for the start of the loop before it plays the next sound on top of the previous one
a bit like

Help With Interactive Menus Using Buttons
Could somebody help me make an interactive menu. I'm trying to make a menu for my website where the main buttons, when the mouse is over them, will show more buttons that pop up to the right of it. I want all of the buttons to have rollover effects like highlights. I can't figure out how to make a button inside a button (if this is how you do it), I don't know too much about actionscript, just the basics. Could somebody help me out? Thanks!

Problems With Interactive Buttons
Hi,
I'm new at flash so bear with me!

I have some buttons which grow and shrink according to their up and over state (movie clips placed within the button), however I'd like to know if there is an easy way to get the button to 'wait' for the movie clip within the over state to finish before it will allow the button to shrink back to size.

I know that this is acievable with action script and an array, but is there an easier way as at the moment I have buttons which look great, untill the mouse is moved on and off them in quick succession? (Resulting in the button starting to grow, etc, but then jumping to the enlarged state and shrinking back to size.)

Interactive Buttons In Video
I've tried everything to create interactive buttons in a flash video. I tried to put the buttons in a movieclip, but the problem is that when the video is paused the movieclip (with the buttons) isn't. How can I link the pause button with the movieclip?

I've imported my video as progressive and I'm using a precontructed skin.

thanks

Interactive Movieclip Buttons In MX?
Check this intro animation out. I am having trouble with the hit state of
the navigation button. They are movieclips.

After the page builds. "hit area" variables are set for moviesclips
to serve as main navigation.

Touch the the movieclip buttons and open "actions" to see the code or double
click on the movie clip to see how the "frame labels" are set up.

Why can't I get a "get url" to work with an "on press" action in my code?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Interactive Buttons...A Very Stupid Question. Easy Fix.
I'm aware of the buttons' up/down/hit..etc states. Unfortunately, I need to make something a bit more ambitious and this is a very stupid question...

I have a bitmap that I'm loading transparent objects over(on a different layer). I want to make it so that when a specific object is either clicked or rolled over, the movie will skip to that specific layer...and *stay there*. Then, when the object is clicked or rolled out again, the movie skips back to frame one. I want to make several layers with different objects but I'm assuming it's all the same. Both my Flash books don't go into this kind of detail.

I created the bitmap layer and it's sitting on it just fine. I created another layer: LAYER2 and I placed a button symbol on that layer, that is set to alpha 0%, called BUTTON1.

On the second frame of LAYER1, I have the keyframe for the bitmap background duplicated. I also have, on LAYER2, the transparent object duplicated on the second keyframe.

I set actionscript on BUTTON1, in keyframe 1 of LAYER2 to:

on (press) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
on (release) {
stop();
}

My problem is, when I test the movie, it doesn't stop. It flashes between frames 1+2. :/ I also can't figure out how to release the click or rollout to go back to layer one.

I'm sure this is a rudimentary problem. If anyone could help me, I'd be *much* appreciated.

Mad.

Problem : A Really Interactive Movie For An Interactive Web Page
Hi I am part of a hockey team and I want to build a website where people could specify if they come to play and when...

My question is : Is it possible to have a page in which people could move the items of a flash movie, and that those modification (telling others what they plan to do) stay even if your reload the page? In order that anyone going on the page could see the number of people coming and modify the animation to tell if they come or change their plans...

I am looking for any kind of help, trails, tutorials...

Interactive Layers Over An Interactive Flash File
I've always been frustrated at the fact that dynamic text and images pulled into flash have not been able to be spidered by the search engines.

So, with a client site I'm developing, I'd like to try something different. I'm wanting to create a flash file with buttons that when clicked, open up the flash and create a blank area in the design where a div layer can be placed on top of the flash, positioned in such a way that it looks like it is part of the flash itself. When you then click on a seperate button on the flash, the div layer hides itself, and another div layer appears according to the relevant section of the flash you have chosen.

I might not be explaining myself very well, but for anyone following what I'm sayinig, has this been done before and does anyone know how?

Cheers,

Guy Blomberg

[F8] How To Make An Interactive Swf Still Interactive While Playing In Another Swf
Sorry the titles a bit long winded but that pretty much what I need to do. On our website I've got popups showing examples of work, so far these have only been jpegs or swf's that arnt interactive, ie they just loop. I now want to add a popup with an interactive swf, one where when the mouse moves over a part of the image, the image scrolls. Ive done this but when it opens nothing happens, someone mentioned 'nesting' but I'm still not sure what im doing!

The bit I can't get to work is in the visualisation section, under architecture and its the top right image

Interactive Buddy Not Being Interactive
I've attached the .swf of an interactive animation i've been working on. The character is supposed to;

Walk towards where ever the mouse is clicked

Wave when the character is clicked

Wave after a certain amount of inactive time.

The problems I have, which you should see in the file are sometimes when he walks over to where you click he doesn't turn back to face forwards, but he does sometimes. Also after clicking on him to make him wave he now waves more frequently and starts waving while he's moving too (where as b4 he would only wave when stood still)

If anyone has any ideas on what's wrong please reply

I have created a short animated sequence of a man climbing, comprising of 4 sections which make up one complete movement cycle. What I'd like to do now is to use this clip in a navigatrion bar so that when you point to any button on the bar the clip will play and the climber will follow a motion guide to that button, either going up or down the guide. Is this possible and if so can anyone give me some pointers as to how I can acheive this.

Just want to make a simple swf file that is interactive containing a list of questions. Where, whenever I would move my mouse over a word on the list, a diagram or sentence would pop up (not in a new browser window though). I'd maybe even like to make the new pop up interactive aswell.

Is this complicated for the novice?

Interactive Map
Hi everyone, I'm new to Flash. I'm trying to create a map that when you click on a county it stays highlighted. I have already imported a wmf file of state of New Jersey, each county is outlined. I can make a button out of each county, but I need to have it stay highlighted(color) on a mouse click and unhighlighted when you click again. Please any help would be greatly appreciated. I have attached file. The top county on the image is the only active button.
Thank You

Interactive Map
i have been tasked with the job of creating an online map of the large school where i work.

this map has to be editable by users in different areas of the school, to add or delete symbols and change the colour coding on different rooms.

also to mark the number of computers in each room and be able to remotely change that.

i come from a design background so the actionscripting is pretty basic. the main thing i need to know i think is how to save the changes made by one user so another user can pick these changes up in a different location.

hope you can understand this and help please.

thanks

Non Interactive BG?
Hey guys-

I have seen a few sites in which there is an MC in the bg that is little white dots moving across the screen. A buddy of mine who had it on his sight for a while said that it was based on the mouse pos. Can someone direct me to a tut or a DL? Basically, it boils down to this: My site is quite boring and I need some BG movement to make it more dynamic. Or, if someone could make it up...

Interactive CD-rom
I am working on an interactive cd-rom, and ran into a glitch

on my main scene i am calling an external (video) swf file that is about 10 megs. everytime I go to this frame the flash projector chokes for about 5 seconds because of the big swf loading.

Anyone know a way where flash can instead of loading the whole movie, load it bit by bit so the projector does not choke?

Interactive Cd Rom
Hello.

I have recently been making interactive cd roms that autorun and open with a full screen command when you put the cd in the drive. I have been designing them at 800 x 600 since that seems to be the safest size to fit most computer screens.

Is there a way that I can add something/script to the cd that will figure out what the user's screen resolution is set to and automatically have my movie adjust to their resolution settings so my interactive cd rom looks the same on all/most computers? I wanted to do this so the user did not have to figure out how to switch their seetings to match my interactive cd rom. Some people will see the interactive cd rom too big or too small depending on their personal settings.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Help With Interactive Map
Hello, I'm fairly new to flash and looking for some helpful resources.

I'm trying to make a community map that has 5 different clickable hot spots.

I would like for the user to be able to hover over each hotspot and have an image swap effect on the map. I have the image swaps ready (as graphics), I just need to figure out how to add non-visible hot spots to the map (graphic), and have them swap images during rollover.

Also I would like to be able to link these to pop-up html windows upon clicking.

I could do this in Dreamweaver using the image map to achieve the desired effect, however I would like to do it in Flash, to help with minimizing the file size.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Basically I need a button, that when hit brings up another menu and whatever I choose from that menu will replace that button.

I figure I can set it up once and copy and paste for the rest of the buttons.

It shows the pages of the weekly flyer and when you hover over an item it shows you it in a larger view. I want to do that for our company. It won't change every week like theirs does. We have one catalog every year.

I dont know if you guys seen them but if needed ill upload it. Basically its a movie and when you go accross with your mouse it plays the movie at the pace your moving the mouse across.

So my question is, is there an easier way of this than copying each frame of a clip and pasting it to a corresponding button? I got it working just need something less difficult.
