Movie Transitions
Help...I feel like an idiot, but I can't figure this out: I've got a primary movie (movie "A") that opens four other movies (movies "B", "C", "D" and "E"). Here's the problem...Movie "A" is in level 0, and when the user clicks a nav option, movie "B" loads into level 1. If I try to navigate from movie "B" to movie "C" (also loaded into level 1), I see movie "A" for a second. It seems that there is an automatic unLoadMovie when moving from "B" to "C", etc. Am I missing something obvious?!? Any advice will be GREATLY appreciated!!

Movie Transitions
I'm sure this has already been asked but I couldn't find any decent info via the search page...

I have a site that is split up into serveral different swf's. The main swf contains the navigation w/the other movies loaded in an MC...

_root.loadMC.loadMovie("news.swf"); and so on.

Each button click loads a page with a bit of an intro to it, then when the user clicks another button to go somewhere else I want the page currently in view to play an outro at which at the end it loads an intro for the next page for the button clicked.

Question is how do I get each end frame of the outro to know which correct movie to load?

Any help or a point to a tuturial would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Movie Transitions
Hi,

I'm working on a web site in flash that has a fixed navigation system (level0) a message area that displays text on different rollovers (level1) and main content area that displays the page content loads into when a menu button is clicked (level2). My problem is transitioning between screens when the menu button is clicked. When a menu button is clicked, i want the present movie loaded on level2 to fade before loading the next movie into level2. How do i do this since its going to be different each time. i need some sort of command to make level2 fade when a button is clicked no matter which movie is on level2 at the time.

secondly, i'd like an AS to make sure that if someone is on, say the contact page and they click the contact button again that it wont reload that page but stays the same. any ideas on this?

thanks loads

Please Help With Movie Transitions
Hello, I followed the transitions between swfs tutorial, but I can't seem to get it to work right. The only difference I can see between my file and the ones in the tutorial, is that my buttons are not on the main timeline. I changed the paths, but it's still not working. The first button clicked will load the correct movie, but it and the other buttons won't do anything after that.

my external swfs is a mc of a set of animated buttons here's the script:

midframe = 10; - on the first frame
stop(); - on the midframe
_root.emptyNav_mc.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf" ); - on the last frame of the movie

in my main movie: my buttons are in two movie clips: buttons_mc.about_mc.about_btn
on the button is this script:

on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == "externalempty") {
_root.currMovie = "aboutNav";
_root.emptyNav_mc.loadMovie("aboutNav.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "aboutNav") {
if (_root.emptyNav_mc._currentframe >= _root.emptyNav_mc.midframe)
{ _root.currMovie = "aboutNav";
emptyNav_mc.play();

}

and on the first frame of the main timeline is this script:
_root.currMovie = "externalempty";
emptyNav_mc.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf");
}
}

Does anyone know why this may not work? (I created an external empty movie clip (with a midframe) to load when coming to the main movie clip - just to keep it the same as the tutorial.

thanks in advance for the help.

Transitions In A Movie
Hi,

I wanted to know if someone could lead me in the right direction by showing me how to do transitions in a movie not using external swfs.

Lets say I click info, it plays an animation.. and if I click photos, it plays the outro animation for info and goes on to photos... basically this http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm, without the external swfs...

thanks

Transitions Between Movie Clips
hey everyone, i was wondering how to do transitions between external movie clips. Similar to 2advanced.com where everytime u click on one of the menu buttons, the movieclip does a transition and loads on top of the previous one. Please help!!

Movie Clip Transitions.....Help
Hi all,

I really want to achieve smooth transitions between my movieclips on my site. For example go to

www.lukewhittaker.co.uk

When you hit the award button a MC appears, then hit another button and it transitions backward while giving you another movie clip/buttons.

That is just one example, but many sites use that method and to great effect.

I would really appreciate if someone could either explain how its acieved or give me a link for a tutorial that does.

Thanks

Load Movie Transitions
Hi,

Let me see if I can explain this...

I have a swf movie that I want to load other swf movies into.

The main swf has several buttons with the following action:

on (release) {
loadMovie("movie1.swf", "_root.canvas");
}

So, movie1.swf is loaded into the movie layer named 'canvas' that I have created in the main swf.

RIGHT.... hope that's understood. NOW...

Each movie has a masked transition, which then displays a page of text and graphics.

How do I ensure that the transition in the movie occurs over the last movie to be loaded? I want to have more of a seamless look to the transitions.

see http://www.europastudio.co.uk/manestreet to see what I mean...


Many thanks.

Transitions After Loading A New Movie?
Hey, I cross posted this in Flash Devils, wondering if anyone here has more insight :

I'm not exactly sure how to ask this, so I apologize in advance if it's confusing at all

A good example I found is

http://www.templatemonster.com/flash...ates/7715.html


Notice how when you go to a new section, let's say Bio, after being in the tour section the tour section is animated to go away and then the bio loads? What would be the easiest way to do that? I'm not expecting a a full "here's the code", but can someone point me in the right direction?

I'm working on a website for a band and would like those animations instead of it just loading a new page in the same style as an HTML page with no transition.

I'm so sorry if I can't communicate this the right way.

Take care,
Tristan


PS - I looked around and saw some great tutorials. I don't know what I'm looking for, any ideas on what this would be called / if there's a tutorial for this already posted? Thanks a lot

Load Movie Transitions
i would like to know if there is a way to load a swf and/or jpegs dynamically, and when it enters my main swf have a transition class to it. for instance when it comes into the movie instead of just appearing, it would wipe or bounce on the screen.

any help would be greatly appriciated

Movie Clip Transitions
all new to this so if im in the wrong thread i apologies...

to start im using flash 8,
firstly - i have 6 movie clips on 6 seperate frames.. the control of these frames is done through a seperate swf, the control swf sends previous/next frame commands while the main swf sends current and total frame details back to the controler,so far no problems.. it works as it should, thing is the boss now wants transitions between clips/frames - not as simple as i though.

when the controller moves on to the next frame it plays the movie clip.. thats fine untill they have to hit back, on which i need a different movie clip to play. so "clip AB" shows the transition between A & B but when they hit back i need to play "clip BA" with shows the reverse transition - get me?

any words of wisdom? ive only a basic working knowlege so anything idiot proof would be appreciated

Transitions Between Movie Clips
Could someone please help me.

I've designed a movie whereby each section is a movieclip that is set to visible when a button is clicked (the some button sets all other section movieclips to invisible).

i would like the visible movieclip to play an exit animation and then have the specified movieclip play.

thnx in advance

and THEN have the preload for the next .swf start.

Load Movie Transitions?
Ok, i've been trying for a long long time to find a transition effect that I see a lots of websites now have in flash!

The transition when you for example are in the HOMEPAGE then when clicking on the OTHER menu LINKS for example ("GALLERY") a transition either moves away or fades 1st the homepage then the SECOND page which in this case would be the GALLERY for example... fades in or appears in.. How can i find a way sooo that i can do that in actionscript.. so i have smooth transitions like that??

And be able to do it with the rest of the links.. u know how if i go to "contact" then it will 1st fade out the page i was looking at then the other appears in or fades in.??? very intriguing!

Any help would be hugely appreciated for this flash rookie!

when u choose a new topic from the menu, do you see how the coloured part becomes an oval, then totally fills up the screen, and then falls down? can you please show me some tutorials on how to do that? thanks

Depth/Layer Transitions In A Movie
Hey, I'm using Flash MX and basically, I have something that spawns many sprites (DuplicateMovies) in front of the player. They do their animation and then stop. I'm wondering if there is a way to get the object to move behind the player, graphically, when it's done by putting an action in the last frame of the animation. The layer the sprites that are being duplicated are already on a layer behind the player, but they spawn in front, anyway. So, are there any commands I can use move them?

Thanks.

Transitions Between Images/movie Clips
I'm trying to use masks to transition from one image to another. When someone clicks on a button, I want the transition to take place on top of the old image.

An example of exactly what I want to do:
http://www.royalhawaiianweddings.com/mauiweddings.html

When a button is clicked transition occurs.

My question:
Are seperate files loading into a blank movie clip (target) or is it loading onto levels.....or is there a different way to transition that I don't know about (I'm definetly not an expert)?

I'd appreciate any insight. Thanks.

Movie Clips Exiting Transitions

Movie Clip Transitions & The Way They Interact Help?
Hello!

OK - I've had a play with the .fla found in this thread http://www.actionscript.org/forums/s...d.php3?t=97742

But what I want to do is this: (here we go)
I have three boxes next to each other. A, B, C
Each of the boxes has a button in it.
When you click the button in box B, for instance, box B expands and box A & C minimize/shrink
If I was to hit the button in box C, all boxes return to their original position for a moment, then box C expands - box A & B shrink. etc

Is there a tutorial which explains this type of concept or perhaps anyone who has done smething similar?

Any assistance/point in the right direction would be so good!!

Heeelp meeeeee.

(MX2004)Transitions Movie/menu
Hi--
I recreated Voestjoeba's tutorial on "Transitions between external swf" here on Kirupa, with ease, but what I am trying to accomplish, may be out of the scope of that tutorial. If you take a look at www.xango.com , the page is made with frames, and the movie at the top (the navigation) appears to be acting on the same concept as what Voestjoeba created. I'm trying to mix and match the code from the tutorial to recreate what is happening on the xango site, for a page I am creating, and needless to say, i'm backed up two days, and have hit a roadblock. If anyone is familiar with the tutorial, and wants to check out the xango site, and can maybe provide some feedback, that would be awesome!....thanks in advance...

Animation Between Transitions In Main Movie
I've searched the forums, but can't find anything similar.

I have an animation in my main movie that I want to run in between externally loaded MCs, but I'm having trouble...

My buttons are not on the _root, they are in the 10th frame of a movie beneath the root (along with the AS for them because I have other animations that need to load first).

Here's the code I have on one of the buttons:


Code:
linkBio.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "bio";
_parent.myDragon.easeX(-100);
_parent.pageContainer.loadMovie("bio.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "bio") {
if (_parent.pageContainer._currentframe >= pageContainer.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "bio";
_parent.pageContainer.play();
}
}
}
myDragon is located on the _root (above this mc) and it's not working at all. Works if I call it from the _root however. The problem(I think) is that the movie is loading and disrupting that call to play the myDragon animation.

I can't think of any way to use setInterval with this because the myDragon animation is using a prototype function and it's not responding to the timer. In fact, none of my actionscripted movements respond to it - I've attached that code below, as well....

AS on _root timeline for the myDragon MC:


Code:
MovieClip.prototype.easeX = function(to){
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._x = to-(to-this._x)/1.1;
if(this._x > to-1 && this._x < to+1){
this._x = to;
delete this.onEnterFrame
}
}
}
myDragon.easeX(-100);
Any suggestions on how to get the dragonfly (myDragon) to animate before the external movie is fully loaded? I was thinking of making the myDragon clip a Global, but I don't know how (if it's necessary). I'm trying to keep the filesize down by keeping the dragonfly in the main movie - it's supposed to fly across the screen, while the external movie is loading in (text appears to float into place behind it)...

thanx!

Transitions Between Swf With Nested Movie Clips
in regard to voetsjoeba's tutorial http://www.nipi.pri.ee/tutoriaal/tutoriaal.html
I have a query, do the swf files which are called up (section 1, 2 etc) have to be on the main timeline, you see I have nested my transitions and animations into MCs and when I cam to run my main movie the swf starts and stays in the midpoint (no transition between them. I read a tutorial on here already which helped with nesting my buttons into a movie clip in my MAIN swf using _parent instead of _root but I need help

for instance lets say for the button for graffix.swf i have kept the code as

on (release) {
if (currMovie == undefined) {
currMovie = "graffix";
_parent.container.loadMovie("graffix.swf");
} else if (currMovie != "graffix) {
if (_parent.container._currentframe >= _parent.container.midframe) {
currMovie = "graffix";
_parent.container.play();
}
}
}

and in the actual graffix.swf for which i put the transition in an MC the code in the last frame is

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

there seems to be a broken link somewhere there, I;ve tried everything from changing the container to _root.container with the buttons and adding the name of my MC to the code

please point me in the right direction ...

thank you

Smooth Transitions Between Movie Clips
is there any way to do this using movieclips with a single swf? http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm instead of using external swf's

Advanced Movie Clips Transitions In AS3
Hi everyone, can someone PLEASE show me how to apply the advanced transitions effect (found in this tutorial http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm ) to as3 files? i've been racking my brains trying to find a way around it since the _root no longer applies to THE main timeline (only the timeline of the current swf, regardless of how many other swfs its placed into ). i thought i had it fixed when I began using

this.parent.parent.someLoader.load()

but of course it gives me an error because the loader which i am calling upon is not within the swf where i am testing the movie so i get an error of

"cannot access an object with a reference of null... "


please help, i haven't been able to load external swfs w/ transitions since i began learning as3 4 months ago.

Which Transitions? External, Movie Clips. Playhead...
I am trying to put together a full on flash site.
Only how should I build it?

The last one I built was using external .swf's pretty good for transitions but complicated actionscript. before I go ahead I would like to know if...
It would be better to build a movie in a single scene and have like reverse play head script (buttons) which sounds easier for someone who is primarily a designer.
Before I go down this long path I wish to get some feedback from those wh have had similar experience with transitions.

Thanks

[F8] BringToFront()? Movie Clip...transitions Question
Hi.
I have a movieClip that I want to 'appear' when the user clicks a given button. Drawing it pixel by pixel would be nice..

Does flash.display.BitmapData.PixelDissolve() do that? Doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for.

I've tried this and didn't get the results I want because _alpha must have an integer value (seems so anyway)


Code:
for(var i = 0; i <= 100; i++){
someMovieClip._alpha += 1/x; // where x >= 1 to "slow it down"
}



I've looked through the documentation a few times... I came across swapDepths()...but that's not really what I'm looking for either.


I'm sure you have a better idea.

Multi Movie Transitions Preloader Problem
I know there is already a wealth of info on this topic, but I can't find anything to help me out with the code I'm using.

I want to have one preloader work for all of my external content.

Basicaly I'm trying to reuse the same preloader objects with these two sets of code. The red is for loading external movie clips that I have setup to transition in and out while the blue is setup to just load external movie clips with no transitions into a different location. The blue works fine, but the red does not.

First frame of main timeline:

Currently when I have mainLoader here it will not work. If I take mainLoader out the movie will load but it will not preload.

Intro/Outro Movie Clip Transitions?
H have a flash movie with pages inside separate movie clips. When visitor clicks button there will be an intro sequence to the next page i.e. the movie clip. How do you make a navigation system with intro and outro transitions for movieclips?

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,

"Transitions Between External SWFs" - Using Movie Clips Intead Of Buttons
Hey there

I have just completed the "Transitions Between External SWFs" tutorial and I'm now I'm at the stage of altering a few things in there to suit my needs. But I've run into a problem...

For my buttons, intead of "Button" symbols, I want to use "Movie Clip" symbols - reason being is that I've got some specially animated Movie Clip buttons that I wish to use.

To get this... err "working"... with my Movie Clip buttons I have needed to use "_root." when referencing to the container Movie Clip.

Now that works to an extent, but for some reason each button plays only "red.swf" even when there is no mention of it in the ActionScript and is instructed to play "blue" for example ("red.swf" happens to be the first appearing movie).

Can anybody help me to get this working properly? I hope it's some stupid mistake on my part rather than something impossible.


Normal method with Button - works fine!

Code:
on (release) {

if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {

_root.currMovie = "red";
container.loadMovie("

Code:
red.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "red") {
if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {

_root.currMovie = "red";
container.play();

}
}
}



New method with "Movie Clip button" - strange problem...

Code:
onClipEvent(load) {

this.onRollOver = function() {
}

this.onMouseUp = function() {

if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {

_root.currMovie = "

Code:
red";
_root.container.loadMovie("red.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "red") {
if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {

_root.currMovie = "red";
_root.container.play();
}
}
}

}




If anybody can help me out - THANKS!

"Transitions" Between Scenes In A Fla Movie?
Hi there,
I have a question about this nice flash site: http://www.lennykravitz.com/

If you're in the "Gallery" scen for example, and click at "Contest" - the the "Gallery" scene is "fading out", or the transition built to fade in are now backwards so to speak. How is this done?

I like that the "Gallery" scene is not just gone - when clicking on another link.

Please take a look, and see if you understand me

Sorry for my bad english // coala

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...

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.

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.

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.

Transitions?
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.
