Run Button Inside A Movie Effect Outside A Movie
hi
I am working in flash 8 on Windows XP. I am creating a US Map Project . Under which when i mouse over on a particular US-state it's size is increased. I did it by using a movie clip. I made such moive clip's for each state of USA.
Now my requirement is when i mouse over on a particular US State it must grow its size. and further it must have few spots on that movie. on which when user clicks a small panel with some information about that location should be shown.

For this i made a movie for each US State. and set mouse over event .
on(rollover){
mcName.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
till here it works fine. But for further spots for locations i made button in each moive.

Now when i mouseover on movie it gives me desired results. But when i try to click on the button
inside that movie. It doesnt work.

Please Urgent Help is required .

Sound Effect Working Fine In Stanalone Movie Not Working As Part Of Loaded Movie
I have loaded in a movie via a loadMovie method of a movie clip.

In the loaded movie there is a sound effect generated in script via a sound object that works great when played in a standalone version of the loaded movie, but when I load it into the main movie the sound effect will not play.

Anyone any ideas?

OLD - MOVIE Effect
I did a search for old movie effect but nothing returned so I thought I would ask here.

How is the old movie effect done? You know, the one where the image shakes slightly, several lines appear randomly, dots flash.

I have an example that I found on a website. I'd rather not post the link (cause its not mine) until someone wants to see the example.

Thanks!

Old Movie Effect
Hello!

I'm trying to archive an old movie effect (dust, scratches and a yellow tint) the .swf shows what I got so far.

I'm pretty happy with the result but I want:

1. The lines should not appear as often as they does now. It becomes stressful (I followed a tutorial, whats why I don't know how to do this myself)

2. Some help on how to make code that just slightly shakes the image (pink wallet) at random, not to much and not to heavy just small steps like in real old movies

The yellow tint is a moveclip with a slight change of alpha, I know that its possible to make a script for random alpha but I don't think thats necessary.

Thankful for help

Old Scratchy Movie Effect
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Sp...-754/index.php

I have been trying to mack this effect work and I must be stupid, because I can't even get the line to move.
This is what I've done:
1. Created a new movie 400 x 300 and colored it black
2. Inserted a movie clip symbol called "line" and drew a vertical line and placed it onto the movie.
3. Inserted a movie clip synbol called "dot" and drew a dot and placed it onto the movie.
4. Inserted a movie clip symbol called "actions" and placed it outside the viewable area.
5. All of the above was on layer one.
6. Then I copied and pasted the following action script into the actions for the action synbol:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_root.line._x=random(400);
}

7. I then tested the movie and expected the line to jump around and much to my dissapointment it just sat there

What did I do wrong?

Old Movie Intro Effect
I am trying to create an effect similar to an animated pie chart or the countdown to old movies where a circular graphic is displayed and is gradually replaced in a clock work motion by another. Can anyone tell me how I might do this or if there are any good tutorials on the subject. I have looked at an animated pie chart but it seems to have used mirror images half a rectangle to create the effect which is no good for a full image.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Text Effect Movie
I am pretty new to Flash. I can do everything that does not involve simple action script.

What I am looking for is a Smart Clip where all I need to do is change the animation (using tweens) of a single letter which can then be applied to an entire block of text. I know I found something like this way back when I was using Flash 4. All I would have to do was enter the text into a variable, change the animation to whatever I wanted, then publish.

I am hoping for a clip so I can simply drop it into any movie quickly.

I guess this is probably a lame request because it seems that something like this would be already available if it were easy to do. If it is, I haven't been able to find it on this site or any other.

If anyone knows of a tutorial that can show me how to do this, that would be great too.

Thanks for any help!

Help With Linking Effect To Swf In A Movie
Howdy -
I got some great help earlier in this forum and just need a little more to finish things off.

I've got a button palate that calls up jpgs into a centered movie clip (that's where the help was before). Now I want to add a transition effect when the images change.

I found (I know) some code with an alpha tween I like, and I can apply it to the initial image, but subsequent images don't have the effect. In addition, the effect happens immediately upon load and then the picture dissapears.

So, attached are some relevent files. I'm pretty sure I've got the code in the wrong place, and linked to the wrong location, but I've tried all kinds of different things, and still cant get it.

Thanks

Elastic Effect On Movie
hey hey.

i was wondering if someone here could help show me how to do an elastic-like bounce and position for the text that springs up in the attached .SWF

i wanna make it look a lil more realistic. Or, have it come in fast then slow down. I would probably work with the EASE for that, but would I have to put the objects on a path for the EASE to work?

i'm still learning, so i appreciate any kind of help.

thanks, guys.

Old Movie Reel Effect
I am wanting to make an old movie reel effect for my website using Flash 5. My navigation bar is going to come down and run by much like it would if it were going through a projector. When it stops I want all my links to look like slides from the reel. Any suggestions on where to start or how to go about doing this?

How Do You Create A Movie Reel Effect?
I'm am developing in FLASH 5. What is the best way to create a movie reel effect. For instance if you what the perfed edges to acclerate in a forward motion for 20 frames and reverse for 10 frames at a slower rate and then back to a forward motion. Is this done with actionscript or can it be done without? Can you do this with a mask?

Text FX Effect Into Movie Clip
Hello,

I have used Flash MX to make a simple presentation consisting of about 30 frames. Using simple buttons, linked to the ‘up’ and ‘down’ keys I can easily move through the frames as I give the presentation. This is very fine for me.

I recently downloaded a super .fla file which uses some kind of FX effect for text. I can change the text in the ActionScript and it becomes the perfect introduction for my presentation. I want to have this on Frame 1.

The Problem:
The text effect file consists of about 45 frames and I don’t know how to get this all on Frame 1 of my presentation. I have tried making a move clip of the text effect file and putting it on Frame 1 but this has a rather strange result – text effect works but continues over the top of all the other 29 Frames.

I want to make a movie clip of the text effect that I can drop into a frame of another movie so that the clip works only in the frame that it has been put.

Can anyone help me with this?

I can e-mail the file to you and would be very grateful for any help.

Thanks,
Adrian

Integrating A Movie Effect Into A Scene
Hi guys,
I have a major problem: I want to integrate an 'old movie effect' in my new movie. The movie effect consists in a line which is moving randomly over the screen in the X axis (I hope that you understand my poor english). I found this tutorial on this site an it's called 'old movie effect'.
Now I want to use this technique in my new movie, but I have no idea how I can combine this effect with my movie. I have no idea at all how to proceed as this effect is a looped actionscript ...

I hope that you understand a little bit what I meant.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Resizing The Scrathy Movie Effect...
I've found a pretty neat effect in the tutorials section, and wanted to try it out...

http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Sp...-754/index.php

But I stumbled upon a problem, I wanted the effect to take place in a "window" I made by drawing a rectangle and deleting the fill...
So my problem is that I CAN change the Height of the scratch lines, but can't change the starting point and ending point... so I will get scratches lines on the whole lenght of the Movie which is 550 pixels but I only want the lines to appear in a 100 pixel area...
is there an easy way to solve this or do I just have to create another Movie and load it into the existing movie...?

Thx in advance...

Load Movie + Button + Effect
how is everybody doing..

Question:

I have a Button. On Rollover is a "glowing in" effect and on Rollout is a "glowing off" effect. I want to load a movie in level 1.

I know how to load a movie. Did that before. The movie will load BUT the Rollover/Rollout effect is gone!....

MAde it like that...
In the frame is a movie clip. If you click on it then the frames for the movie clicks are there. you will see the mask and text for that rollover and roll out effet. Frame 1 to 30... -- Frame 1-15 is for the rollover, Frame 16-30 is for the Rollout effect.

On the 1st. Layer is the Button. If you test the movie. If you roll over or Roll out the button then it stop or goes from one frame to the next one. everyhting is working BUT if i put the "loadmovie" script on the button on a new button in that movie then the glowing effect is gone.

Do somebody got some advice? Can somebody tell me exactly how i can do that the right way, if there is? Turtorials are not a real help for that.

REason: I want to load single swf's with a prealoader. I have 5 files + preloader.

Horror Movie Text Effect
In movies like seven you see text flash very rapidly and distort - is there a good way to do this? Any help is appreciated if this question makes any sense at all..

Movie Clips With Mouse Over Effect?
I want to achieve the effect used on the http://www.stereolab.co.uk/news/ site, where at top the rectangles animate when you mouse over them. The key to this effect is that the animations complete when you move the mouse off of the flash, which you can't achieve in a typical button.

I sort of figured this out in a flash clip on my site, where you have a button and when you mouse over it you are sent to a new scene, which plays itself out and returns to the previous scene with the button. It seems to me that the way this works on the stereolab site is that each rectangle is a unique movie clip. I know that you can make a movie clip into a button, but I am concerned that the effect won't be the same. I've been looking for tips on how to do this, but to no end. Ideas?

Cool Movie Appearance Effect...
I am sure everyone has seen Flash sites that appear to draw in the design layout for the website (lines appear outlining the design), as well as graphics fading into position that seem to "flashing" in (like a lightbulb burning out multiple times repeatedly) to its final position. Then BOOM!!! The website appears in it's final look, in its utter perfection.

Can anyone tell me how this is acheived? I WANT to do this SO BADLY... Thanks.

Code That Can Effect Two Movie Clips
Hello,

I have 2 movie clips on the stage that act like buttons. I have set up an event handler for each that performs the rollOver and rollOut effects. As it stands now I have to cursor over each clip to perform the code. However I would like to set it up so that each time I rollOver either one of the movie clips that BOTH movie clips would play on rollOver and rollOut. Here's what I have written so far:

Any suggestions,

Thanks,

Attach Code

//----ROLLOVER AND ROLLOUT THUMB------\
thumb_mc.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
};
thumb_mc.onRollOut = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(11);
};

//----ROLLOVER AND ROLLOUT TAB-------\
tab_mc.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
};
tab_mc.onRollOut = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(11);
};

Flashlight Effect Won't Play In Movie
I hope someone can help me; I'm doing this site as a favor for a friend.
I created a flashlight effect as a part of a 3-scene movie. the problem: I can't get the flashlight effect to play nice with the other scenes. Here's what happens: Even when the flashlight effect is at the top of the scene order, the movie will skip it and play Scene 2 and so on to the end. The weird part is that the sound effect I put with the flashlight effect scene plays during scene 2.
I've slowed things down enough so that I can see that (I think, anyway) the very first frame of the flashlight scene plays - but that's it. I've looked all over, and there seems to be some kind of action scripting needed. I've tried a stop action just about everywhere I can think of, and the only thing that happens then it that the flashlight effect (Scene 1) will play - and that's it.
When I test Scene 1, the flashlight effect, by itself, it plays perfectly. When I test the other scenes by themselves, they play perfectly. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I feel it's something simple, but i just don't know what it is.
I really, really appreciate any help anyone can give me.
Thanks,
