Moving Vertical Bar Which Holds Moving Thumbnail Images When Mouse Is Over
Hi!
im not completely new to Flash MX - have utilised all basic animation tween/morphing /buttons
and very simple action script- movie controls - stop , back ,forward etc
however i need a moving bar feature, e.g. a moving news reel or a vertical bar which holds a number of images i.e.10 and
when the mouse is over - i want it to move downwards and when is not over the feature i want it to stop moving
(or even instaed of the feature to automatically scroll images i could also use a button to press to move through the images)
then: the thumbnail images from the moving feature i need to be selectable which then produces a larger version of the image on
another section of the page.
i dont no if i put this thread in the right forum!
if any one knows of any tutorials or has any suggestions to help implement this feature
i would appreaciate any help!
- dont really know where to start with it!
thanks
(i have looked at the flash kit tutorials but havent found what im looking for
dont even no if this is more of an animation or action script questions)
Slowly Moving Smoothly - Moving Photos And Pixel Smoothing
So, I'm slowly....very slowly moving a small thumbnail across my stage. The problem is that when the pic moves over a pixel it looks choppy, I want it to look smooth. The border of it looks especially choppy, it's distracting from the site.
Is there a pixel-smoothing option for the stage? or some equivalent?
Does my question even make sense?
Please help.
Thanks
Moving Running Forward But Elements Moving Off Stage
I'm positive I've done it by the book. All symbols on the stage - one by one dragged them off the stage creating timelines - about 6 layers. Play the movie and all the elements start on the stage and move off. Just the way I wanted it but in reverse. Simple vertical and horizontal motions. My mistake must have been in the beginning somewhere - but where ?
Moving Menu And Not (yet) Moving Arrows
Hi,
The title I guess say it all, huh?
But just to be sure.
I have a main menu wich goes right or left. Depends what categorie you choose. When it goes left I have to load a arrow movie wich goes left and for right has to load a moviw arrow which goes right (and not wrong). Thats means that there are two movies: arow left movie and arrow right movie. And both have to react at the moving menu, which were to load and play.
So first level would be the menu which ships from right to left.
Second level (under the menu) one of the arrow movie has to load depending which direction the movie goes.
(now Im confused. What was there I wanted??? A, right!)
I figured out that maybe its more confortable to load it from the library but also if it can be loaded from external files I dont mind. (I did the container thing before so I understand it a bit.
The arrow movies are movies played in the background, as the menu remains on top all the time.
The script for animating the menu is:
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.newposition = "null";
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
current = getProperty(_root.drop, _x);
if (_root.newposition<current) {
distance = current-_root.newposition;
setProperty("_root.drop", _x, current-(distance*.1));
}
if (_root.newposition>current) {
distance = _root.newposition-current;
setProperty("_root.drop", _x, current+(distance*.1));
}
}

Moving Objects: Moving Keyframes?
Can I move multiple layers on a timeline, so that they will all move. Basically I just want to move the location of the multiple layers.
Whenever I do this, it seems to move only some of them and thus the whole animation is messed, different starting points and ending points...a big mess.. It makes me want to cry.
Seems like there is an easy answer or I might just be the biggest chump on the planet.

Moving The Stage After Resizing - Or Moving All Objects On The Stage? Heeeelp
Hello! I'm in dire need of help!
I've been forced to resize the stage of my movie but as the stage is expanded to the right and down everything ends up in the wrong place. So I wonder:
Is there any way to move the stage rather than the contents thereon?
or
is there a way to move all the content on all layers and even all scenes simultaneously?
or
is there a way to expand the stage equeally on all sides rather than just right and down?
THANKS ALOT TO WHOEVER COULD HELP ME!

Moving An Mc.......
Hello, I am fairly new to actionscripting and I am having a problem. A have an mc that I want to slide to a certain X Coordinate when you move your mouse over a button.
I can get the mc to move according to the buttons and stuff but I can't seem to get it to slide there, it just appears in that spot instead of sliding over there.....I also when to make it kinda of bouncy, I want it to move to that spot dast and then go a bit past it and bounce back, etc....to make it more realistic.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS: What ways would you recommend learning actionscript. I mostly wanna learn all the functions and that type of things.
Moving MC Via Another MC
Hi everyone --
I have a MC instance that needs to be moveable left and right via two arrow buttons on its sides. There are other elements to the interactivity, but that's the crux of where my problem lies.
The arrow buttons each tell an individual MC on the same timeline to compare the position of the MC I want to move (also on this same timeline) to a mask object, so we can stop the movement when the moving object reaches either end of the mask (the moving object, called thumbnailrow, is longer than the mask). I'm using a MC to hold the movement script (rather than just putting it on the arrow buttons) so that I can loop it, and thereby make a smooth constant motion when the arrow buttons are pushed.
Here is the script for the movement to the left:
mask_x = getProperty("_root.mask", _x);
mask_w = getProperty("_root.mask", _width);
thumbnailrow_x = getProperty("_root.thumbnailrow", _x);
thumbnailrow_w = getProperty("_root.thumbnailrow", _width);
if ((thumbnailrow_x+thumbnailrow_w)>(mask_x+mask_w)) {
setProperty ("_root.thumbnailrow", _x, getProperty("_root.thumbnailrow", _x)-5);
}
I suspect I have a problem with how I'm trying to get and set the x and width values of the "thumbnailrow" and "mask" instances, as all those variables show up as "undefined" in the debugger.
I've put the SWF here:
http://www.borderwalker.com/redcross...pt_07chris.swf
And the FLA here:
http://www.borderwalker.com/redcross...pt_07chris.fla
Does anybody have an idea why the timeline won't move?
Thanks!

Moving Mc Up Or Down
Hi,
I've got a movieclip that I want to move in a random way up or down, left or right.
The code I use:
onClipEvent (load){
richting_x = Math.random() + 0.01;
richting_y = Math.random() + 0.01;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x -= richting_x;
this._y += richting_y;
}
This works but I want to also make the -= and += random. So the clip doesn't only moves to the left and down.
Is there an ellegant way to do this?
TIA, Danielle.

Moving Man
I once saw a nice intro with moving men.
The weird thing about the men was that you only saw the borders and inside the men were empty (white).
Now my question is how can I do this?
Could someone please help me?

P.S: If anyone has great ideas for an intro for a musicsite, you can always tell me:-)

Help With Moving MCs
Can some one show me a simple example (if there is one) of moving two or more MCs to two or more different positions on the stage by the press of one button, without tweening? Let's say I have three circles (each a different MC) in deifferent spots on the stage. Lets also say I have a button on the stage, and when I press it, the circles all move to new spots that I determine (for the sake of my own sanity let's also say everyhting is on the same layer on the main time line). If I am beginning to sound like a tutorial, it's cuz I've spent the last four days doing them. Regardless, I can't seem to find one that helps me grasp this. I did post this in the newbies forum, but no replies as of yet so here it is. Anyways, an example of this I think will help me better understand a number of other action script basics. Thanks.

Moving .fla From Pc To Mac
I try to move a .fla from pc to mac, but I cannot access it from the mac. The icon shows on the desktop as a blank sheet of paper, but it takes up as much space as the original fla that I moved via email. It still has the .fla ending in the file name
Any suggestions?
Not Moving
I have a movie clip that is supposed to move movieclips when you press A or Left.
Heres what I have
code: onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) or Key.isDown(Key.D)) {
scroller._x = scroller._x+5;
level._x = level._x+5;
objects._x = objects._x+5;
}
}
I cant figure out what is wrong. I tried just Key.LEFT and just Key.D but neither works.
Moving A MC
hi there,
How can I move a circle(up) clicking it (instead of a button?)
and again click it again to move it down ...?
Moving Hit Box
I have a button that on the over state a movie clip has the button grow to about 3x it's original height. That part works fine and dandy, but I am having problems with the hitbox.
If I create a hitbox to cover the original size of the button (say 10 x 10), then only that small portion of the full size button stays active (the bottom 10 x 10 of the full 10 x 30 button). But if I make the hitbox as large as the finished animation (10 x 30) then the button becomes active when I rollover the top of the hitbox which is not what I want either.
Now that I have probably confused the heck out of you all, let me ask if there is anyway to have a hitbox that grows?

Plz help me. I have a MC that can move but i dont know how to make a boundary. Plz help me somebody.
From A To B, When B Is Moving?
Hi,
For several affects I'm trying to create, I'm hoping to find an easy way to make a line that always connects two points, even when one or both of those points are moving. For an example of what I mean please visit http://www.BostonMathTutor.com/flash . I would hope there is some simple way to do this without scripting, but if that is necessary, I'll do it. I found some examples posted in which lines automatically connected points the user could move, but I'm hoping for something simpler.
Any help seriously appreciated.
Thanks,
John
Moving All At Once
Hi, I have a document with a size of 610 x 450 px. Now,I increased the size to 700 x 450 in order to have a menu on both sides once I center all my objects/bitmaps. How can I move all the objects(bitmaps) at once in my scene so they are at the center? I have over 100 frames of bitmaps that I have to move one by one because I can't figure this one out. Thanks for any help as always.

Moving Everything To Right
Hello,
I just finished a scene in my flash file. I noticed I need to move everything over to the right a little bit to make more space on the left hand side. When I increased my Document dimensions, it extends the right margin. Can I tell it to extend the left margin instead? or what is the easiest way to accomplish this??? (Using Flash MX)
Thanks,

[Help] MC Moving
Hi,
I'm trying to have my 12 MC's on the stage move in any random direction, and once they hit a specific MC (like a wall, or an item) an event will proceed, such as gaining health, initating a set function etc.
However if they hit a wall, I want them to move away in a random direction.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Moving MC With AS
I've searched these forums for 2 hours now without finding what i need even though this is a quite simple question.
I have a MC (music_mc) on my main timeline with a button (music_bt) inside.
What i want is to move the MC to a specific x and y position when I press the button inside it. It should animate smooth, not just jump to the position.
Of course i want to do this with AS.

Moving Nav Bar
This may be a dumb and simple question but bare with me,
how can you get the effect of this nav bar http://www.swishzone.com/products/si.../mainmenu.html
Main question is if you click on about, it knows to move to the right, but if you click home, it knows to move to the left? (So how does it know which direction to go?)
Thanks!
Moving Around
Hey, I was going to make a little thing in flash that uses a large image that is bigger than the swf window and have it so when the cursor touched the edge of the swf window (the left, right, up, down edges) that I would scroll in that direction (along the image). This image would have buttons in certain spots, so I'd have to have the buttons move the exact same speed and direction as the image.
I was wondering what I would need to do to do this.

Moving Between
Hello, i am trying to get into animating more seriously, but i was wondering if any could give me some tips on these questions:
1.) What's the best use of the Scenes?
2.) What would be the best way to switch between two totally different storylines in flash movie while creating it. For example, i am creating a complex animation for example a boy being in a room, and next he's in a large factory or something like that. How to i switch so rapidly, without having to add new layers for that new room, and hidding the room layers from the previous room. Is that what scenes are for???
3.) What determines in what angle, shape, whatever, will the object modify when i try to shape tween in in more complex tweening. For example rotation of a cube. What do i do to make a cube spin around full 360 angle with shape tween. I tried it, but it usually spins for less than 360 angles.
4.) When creating shadows for objects, should i put them in the same layer as the object applied to? What do i do to make the object move along with the shadow when i click the main object.
Oh, ya, i use Macromedia Flash MX 2004. Thanks for your help.
