As Mouseposition Help
hi, i have been playing with some actionscript that makes a menu scroll up and down. The code works great apart from one thing, when it is placed into a webpage, straight away the menu scrolls up by itself, and will continue to do so until the cursor is over the flash itself. My question is how can i get it to only scroll the menu when your over the menu area itself within the flash. My code so far is as follows:
ActionScript Code:
// ---------------------------------------------
// Speed is INVERSE
// ---------------------------------------------
speed = 55;
drag = "/dragControl";
/:h = getProperty("/nav", _height);
// ---------------------------------------------
// line below controls invisible mouse scroll center point SET the number TO HALF OF THE HEIGHT OF YOUR MOVIE!
// ---------------------------------------------
/:yPos = getProperty(drag, _y)-80;
/:xPos = getProperty(drag, _x);
// ---------------------------------------------
// adjust for Speed
// ---------------------------------------------
setProperty("/nav", _y, getProperty("/nav", _y)-(/:yPos/speed));
// ---------------------------------------------
// see if we're run out of menus either up or down
// ---------------------------------------------
if (Number(getProperty("/nav", _y))<Number(-(/:h/2))) {
setProperty("/nav", _y, 0.01);
} else if (Number(getProperty("/nav", _y))>0) {
setProperty("/nav", _y, -/:h/2);
}
as always any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Making The Carousel Move On Click Instead Of Mouseposition
I realize there have been a lot of questions asked about the Carousel tutorial. It is a great tutorial and I really enjoyed going through it. What I am trying to accomplish right now is to have the Carousel stationary, until one of the icons is clicked. Once it is clicked, the Carousel spins around until that icon is at the front, then information will be displayed and the user has an option to contiune with the selection of this icon, OR click on a different icon, at which point the Carousel will spin to that icon.
I've read all of the posts I could find on the Carousel in the forums here, but came up empty handed. If someone could point me in the right direction I would be very greatful. Thank you.
Simple Scroll Panel Problem
I am using a scroll pane instance in which I am loading an external swf.
When I test the movie from within the Flash MX program it works fine.. but when I export it and try to use it outside the Flash program it exhibits an oddness...
Where the scroll pane ends on top and bottom, the external clip I loaded should lose visibility oursite the viewable scrollpane area... and it does so within the test movie function of the main flash program. But on its own outside the program, the scroll works but the entire external swf image is now viewable ..although it can be scrolled.. it does not hide what is outside the pane area....
What am I doing wrong?
Simple Control Panel For Ffw/play/pause/rw
Does anybody have a basic *.fla file or swf that contains a simple user-control panel?
I need to have the user able to play, pause, fast-forward and rewind. I need this control panel to apply to all scenes of the flash movie and also to be stored in a library for future use across a range of movies. Because of this I don't want the buttons in the control panel to have to include any script that references specific frames/scenes, just general commands that will always work.
It should look something like this:
Rewind (<<) | play (>) | Pause (||) | Fast-forward (>>)
Any ideas? suggestions? Are there any tutorials on this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks...
Answer Panel Add-on Without Touching The System Of The Andser Panel Check It Out
Hi all!
I have created a add on for the Answer Panel!
This system is working like this:
I have made the menu and stuff, but when you select on the combo box "Answer", theres the code loadmovie and it laods the Answer Panel (like before)!
This add-on WILL NOT DAMAGE OR CREATE CHANGEMENTS on the system of the Answer panel
what's on the add-on:
music
game of the month (there currently bugs to fix)
later they will be more stuff!
(There are no update like the Answer panel)
Get it:
http://www.geocities.com/matrixplayer2000/do.html
(you must extract these files on the Answer panel folder of Flash MX (if you have Flash MX open, it will need a restart)
file discription:
ans.swf (Answer Panel)
Answer.swf (add-on)
an.exe (Because I can't make it to go back it will lunch this pop-up window)
NOTE: you can't run the ans.swf like this, but it must be in Flash MX Answer panel to see it. (I did NOT change it)
It's just working like this! and used to work like this!
GET the source code:
http://www.geocities.com/matrixplayer2000/do.html
===============================
Bug report and To-Do:
- Create game
- Make that it scale (like the answer panel)
- Fix for some the music speed (that is only me that can do that!(I just need to change the qulity higher and transform it into a .swf)
===============================
bye and enjoy!

Flex Controlling Items In Panel A From Panel B [Flex3/AS3]
Hi all,
Currently I am working on a project that seems a bit daunting to someone that's quite new to Flex 3 and the Flex Builder 3. I'm trying to create a Build Your Jacket app that will allow the user to create a "Letterman Jacket" with logos and text of their choice ( something a bit similar to Spreadshirt.com ).
At the moment I'm trying to work out how to have 2 Panels communicate with each other.
So say for example:
In Panel B I have a Text field where someone can type one line of text. When they type into the field, I'd like it to appear in Panel A and allow the user to manipulate that in Panel A.
If someone has an example of this in Flex 3 or AS3 form, then that would be great! But if not, then I'm really looking for some direction on things I can look up and focus on in order to accomplish this.
Thanks guys.
Panel Layout Question (panel Sets)
I have never been able to get the Library to stay part of my custom panel layout. I run dual monitors and all my other panels (actions, colors, ect...) are on the second monitor and open fine in their respective places, but not the Library. I have to always hit F11 to open it and then resize it, drives me crazy! **I don't want to 'dock' the windows because it puts them below each other and I don't need that. I want them next to each other and all half the size of my monitor. It makes for a very nice workspace with all the tools on 1 monitor and the entire stage and timeline on the other.
As far as I know there is no way to dock panels next to each other as opposed to vertically. Just something that has bothered me for oh, around 3 years now! Any suggestions?????
CS4 Help Panel
Alright, so I just got a copy of Flash CS4 ( I'm so excited!) and I've been using it for a few minutes now and I've realized that there is no help panel. Instead all the documentation is online. I don't know if anyone else will, but I'm really gonna miss it. It was always my first stop when I needed help.
Recently I've been looking at how to make flash panels for flash, and I was wondering, has anyone made a help flash panel, and if not, would it be possible to make one (say, in AIR?). The previous ones were just simple internet browsers, but were really handy cause they were right in flash.
Anyways, any insight into the matter would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know what do do.
Please help me

Action Panel?
Hello,
I'm just trying to start with the actionscripting in Flash5. The problem is that I don't get an action panel if I choose Window > Actions.

Where Has My Action Panel Gone
Another dumb question.
I have created a short movie with a built in graphic clip. After useful help from this forum I can now cause the animated graphic to loop for a specified number of seconds. the number of seconds is specified in the first frame of the main movie. All working a treat. HOWEVER .. My action box has disappeared ! I can use any or all of the techniques for bringing it up e.g. Double clicking on the frame containing the action ... but no sign of my action panel . The movie is still working so the actions must still be there (the 'a' symbol is still there on the individul frames also) .... HELP !
Effects Panel
Is it just me or can you apply only one effect to an instance using the effects panel without reverting to the advanced section and doing everything manually?
You can't apply both a tint and an alpha effect a brightness and tint effect and vice versa may you? I assume the advanced section is the only way of doing something like this correct?
SWF - Control Panel

Shifting Panel
Hello all,
Attached is a fla I'm working on. I need the panels to display in a masked window w671xh315. I have reworked all the symbols to the proper size. However I can't seem to find whether in the action script or where it is telling the mc how much to shift. Therefore I can't adjust the amount the panel shifts from the original 400x300. So I assume it must be something in the action script I am missing. Feel free to pick it apart all you want.
Thanks in advance

Actions Panel?
hey again! ok im trying to learn flash (mx 2004 pro is the version i have) through a series of tutorials.. in the tutorials' printscreens of the acrions panel and their explanation, i understood that there must be a simple way to define the various attributes of the command, and flash creates the correct code on its own.. but i just cant find it in my version.. there i can only write the code myself directly, and im pretty sure im going to mess it up at some point!! so is there a way to find this????
oohh the tutorial im using is for flash mx, are the two versions that different?? i also notices a few other differences, but none as irritating!
tnx a lot again!!
ok here is a printscreen of the tutorial's view:

Content Panel
Hi, just started out with flash and finding out a lot of stuff by using the tutorials here. I am looking for some help tho, i am attempting to make a basic site, it has a banner at the top and navigation bar just underneath, how can i make it so that only the main panel below that shows the content of that page.
For example i press a button that says 'about', the text for the page about is loaded into the main panel below the banner etc instead of the whole page reloading. I then press 'home' and it goes back to what it was before but the same panel is being used again for the content without the page reloading.
Sorry if i am not being clear but hopefully you understand what i mean.
Any help would be most appreciated
