thanks guys!
Springy Stuff
Jbum............You and your springy stuff..... cool stuff man! I have been learning from your state machine demo as well. This might be a bit simplistic compared to your springy things, but I wanted to share some code I have used for spring effect. It seems to work pretty well.....put this on any MC.
Code:
onClipEvent(load) {
this._x = 100 ;
endPosx = 250;
movex = 0
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
currentPosx = this._x;
diffPosx = endPosx - currentPosx;
movex = movex + diffPosx/5;
movex = movex*0.85;
this._x = this._x + movex;
}
edit***
sorry, I was playing around with making the code shorter and confused variables. the above code will work
edit***
The reason why this formula works is this:
The value of movex starts at 0 so the object is not moving As this script executes, the value of move continues to increase because we are adding (endPosx-this._x)/5 to the current value of movex. Thus, the object appears to accelerate because this value is growing larger. However, at the point when the object reaches the endPosx, the difference between endPosx and this._x is 0, thus movex does not increase. Then, when the object passes the point endPosx, the difference between endPosx and this._x becomes the inverse of what it was previously, therefore, the value of movex should begin to decrease. When the object reaches a point where movex = 0, the object stops. However, since there is still a distance gap between endPosx and this._x, the value of movex will increase again, however in the opposite direction, thus the object moves back towards the endPosx.
This will repeat itself until the motion of the object becomes negligible. Just curious if you could comment on the way you do things compared to this.

Springy Box Movieclip
hi, just wondering what the actionscript is to create a box that springs into place from nothing to box.
Pop Up, Springy Menu
OK, so I've spent days trying to recreate a version of the menu system on this site:
http://www.digital-heaven.co.uk/indexflash.htm
I just can't do it myself
I'd love to post my WIP but by now I'm so far gone from anything resembling the source, well, I'm embarassed

Springy Box Thing - HELP
Hi all, I'm trying to put together a site and I'd like the content to pop in to the centre of the page in a 'springy' box. You know the kind I mean, the slightly elastic type that's used quite a lot nowadays and 'pops' on-screen. I know I've seen it mentioned several times on the forums but I can't find the precise info I'm after to make it work in AS. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks kids.
Springy Elastic Box
Hi all, I've been trawling this forum for what feels like an eternity and my head is starting to hurt. I'm looking for some code that'll make a box on-stage grow with a nice 'elasticy' finish and then load in some content. I've seen loads of posts on similar subjects but they all seem over complicated to me (I'm new to AS). Please can anyone help me and maybe, just maybe, I'll get some sleep tonight!

How To Make The Springy Opener?
So I've got an image when you enter the site (this is not on the web now) so...I want to click on an image and then from the middle of the image a screen pops in to place. for the image the screen grows until it's the X amd Y size of the web site I want. How do I go about doing this.
If this makes no sense tell me and I'll post a picture diagram on the site. Thanks for your help and time.

Springy Button Problem
Hello ActionScript Gurus,
I am working on a project where I am using the attached buttons. I am about 90% of the way home where I need to be, I just need to figure out one last problem. If you download and take a look at the attached sample (I am using Flash 8), you will see a sample of what I am working with.
In the attached sample, the problem that I am trying to overcome is that I need the mouse NOT to stop the button movement until the buttons come completely to a rest (after they have completed their springy effect). I was thinking that I could accomplish this by disabling the mouse for a second or two, or even disable and re-enable the buttons (which are actually Movie Clips) for a short period of time (1 or 2 seconds), but I cannot figure out how to do this. Just click on the buttons and as you do so, move your mouse over the button that is coming back onto the screen and you should see it stop exactly where it is at, before it has returned to it's original point of origin.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! I have been banging my head against the wall on this for a few hours now, to no avail. There's also some pretty neat code in here for springy button movement that you could add to your own library in exchange for your help here, in case you don't already have it.
Thank you for your time!

Springy Buttons Won't Work
Hi,
I have a bounce script on my buttons that isn't working...I used an example fla downloaded from another site, to help me determine how to make this work via actionscript...its a physics script not a tween. The example file works fine, but the script won't work in my file. Is there some conflict between my caption's set drag and this spring script I've added? Also, sometimes my caption freezes or slows WAY down when it appears over the clips serving as buttons. This was happening before I added the bounce script. Can someone look at my file and tell me what the heck is going on here? Thanks for the help.
p.s.
I'm adding the downloaded help file I used for the script...so you can see what I'm trying to do.
I Want To Know How To Make SPRINGY Buttons
Hello,
I have been looking around Kirupa.com searching for an animation where 'on hover' the button just springs up closer to the screen (well atleast it seems like that) and on 'mouse out' it springs back to its original size and position.
The closest resembling code I have found is here: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/spring.htm
But, that only moves the object around the mouse.
Is there a way I can manipulate the same code and make the buttons out of that?

Springy Content Boxes
Hi,
As a basic user of Flash, I was wondering whether anyone could explain how to create the kind of content boxes that appear on sites such as www.cruciallimit.com and www.estudio.com. I love the 'springy' effect of the content areas when they open/close and would like to emulate this kind of effect.
If anyone know of a tutorial for this already out there please could they let me know!
Many thanks.

Super Frustrating 'springy Buttons'
i got the code for some springy buttons off of flashkit.
http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Inter...3900/index.php
the problem is that they work like a champ when you first create them, but when you try to add any other code to either the mc's or the btns it either cancels out the 'springy' and doesn't work, or it will just ignore the script.
at the link above, you will see the code that I am using. i have copied it and double checked it, triple checked my double checks, ripped my hair out and bangged my head against the monitor. it is really super frustrating. please help me!
i have this code on the first frame of the site:
<as>
_root.numButtons = 4;
function Expand(buttonRate, buttonName, buttonSize) {
if (buttonName.scale == 1) {
setProperty(buttonName, _xscale, buttonName._xscale += ((buttonSize*buttonRate)-(buttonName._xscale*buttonRate))*(buttonRate/10));
setProperty(buttonName, _yscale, buttonName._yscale += ((buttonSize*buttonRate)-(buttonName._yscale*buttonRate))*(buttonRate/10));
}
if (buttonName.scale == 0) {
setProperty(buttonName, _xscale, buttonName._xscale += ((buttonRate*100)-(buttonName._xscale*buttonRate))*(buttonRate/10));
setProperty(buttonName, _yscale, buttonName._yscale += ((buttonRate*100)-(buttonName._yscale*buttonRate))*(buttonRate/10));
}
}
onLoad = function () {
button1_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("move_mc", 2);
//button1_mc.move_mc._y = -25;
//button1_mc.move_mc._x = -25;
//button1_mc.move_mc._xscale = 25;
//button1_mc.move_mc._yscale = 25;
trace ("move_mc works");
}
button1_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
// set parameters for this button's expansion
_root.Expand(2, _root.button1_mc, 150);
};
button2_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
// set parameters for this button's expansion
_root.Expand(2, _root.button2_mc, 150);
};
button3_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
// set parameters for this button's expansion
_root.Expand(2, _root.button3_mc, 150);
};
button4_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
// set parameters for this button's expansion
_root.Expand(2, _root.button4_mc, 150);
};
</as>
there are mc's with btn's in them. on the btn's is this code;
<as>
on (rollOver, dragOver) {
this.scale = 1;
for (i=1; i<=_root.numButtons; i++) {
_root["button"+i].swapDepths(1);
}
this.swapDepths(2);
}
on (rollOut, dragOut) {
this.scale = 0;
}
</as>
i have added a script to change the color of a mc when clicked or released;
<as>
on (rollOver, dragOver) {
this.scale = 1;
var my_color:Color = new Color(this.homeText_mc.homeType_mc);
my_color.setRGB(0xBA2612);
//this.homeType_mc = my_color
for (i=1; i<=_root.numButtons; i++) {
_root["button"+i].swapDepths(1);
}
this.swapDepths(2);
}
on (rollOut, dragOut) {
this.scale = 0;
var my_color:Color = new Color(this.homeText_mc.homeType_mc);
my_color.setRGB(0x818181);
}
</as>
now, the color changer worked, then i saved it out (it still worked) and i saved it a couple of time after making changes to other parts of the site, it stopped changind the color! for no reason at all...!
anyway, as far as button1_mc thru button4_mc goes, i have tried to make a function that will go to a certain frame on release. i have tried it on press. i have tried it on mouse down..mouse over, everything. i have tried in several different ways to get the code to work. after all my efforts the buttons are either not springy and not go to the frame, and sometimes it is springy but still doesn't go to the frame.
is there a better way? my hair is falling out.
thanks
Clock Second Hand Springy Movement
Hey everybody. I'm creating a clock for a client, easy enough, but how would I go about getting that little springy movement in the second hand? Here's an example http://625.uk.com/tv_logos/flash/abc_midlands_clock.asp
I'm using this clock code:
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
springForward++;
var timeClock = new Date();
//var iMilliSec = timeClock.getMilliseconds();
var iSec = timeClock.getSeconds();
var iMin = timeClock.getMinutes();
var iHour = timeClock.getHours();
if(springForward == 4){
trace(springForward);
handSec._rotation = iSec * 12;
springForward = 0;
}else{
handSec._rotation = iSec * 6;
}
handMin._rotation = iMin * 6;
handHour._rotation = (iHour + iMin / 60)* 30;
if (iHourPrev > iHour) {
_root.updateDate(timeClock);
}
iHourPrev = iHour;
}
Thanks in advance
Trying To Use Senocular's Zooming, Springy Menu
hi,
first of all, thanks to Senocular for providing the source file at www.senocular.com - it's fantastic. i've been trying to create something like this for ages but haven't been able to - quite new to actionscripting.
anyway, i want to be able to display text in the boxes so that it relates to my website. at the moment, it'll only generate "item0, item1, item2, etc." but i want the text to display "home, gallery, etc."
here's a part of the script that i think needs to be edited to get it working but i don't seem to be able to do it.
/*** variables ***/
var targets = [{_x:0, _y:100, _width:0}]; // first target is for reference
var baseScale = 100;
var zoomedScale = 200;
var itemCount = 5;
/*** generate ***/
for (var i=0; i<itemCount; i++){
var previous = targets[targets.length-1];
var position = {_x:previous._x + previous._width, _y:previous._y};
var item = this.attachMovie("item", "item" + i, i, position);
// for unique content in item clips, attach those
// movie clips to the item clip here
SetItemProperties(item, previous, 3, baseScale, 7); // set values for movement
item.onPress = ItemSelect; // set onPress handler
item.onEnterFrame = ItemEnterFrame; // set enter frame handler
targets.push(item); // include it in the targets array
}
there is 1 movieclip in the library called "item" and this is being re-used i think. but i don't know how to edit this source file to allow different text to be shown.
also, if someone can let me know how i can add in the actual links that would be fantastic. ie: i want to go to home.html when home is clicked, go to gallery.html if gallery is pressed.
help is much appreciated.
cheers

Colour Change On Elastic/springy Buttons

I'm not very advanced at coding so please make your reply simple.

Problems With Springy Text Effect On Menu
I'm trying to make a menu with just text that springs up and down when you roll over and again rolling out back into place with the elastic spring.
I have an example using boxes as buttons (they have two different animations..) but the elastic spring they scale it x and y, i just want to keep the same size but only moving it up and down rapidly. here is the code:
code:
// set number of buttons
_root.numButtons=8;
// the following function controls the expansion of the movie clips
// the buttonRate controls the speed at which the buttons expand
// I don't recommend setting the buttonRate above 4.2; it goes nuts
function Expand(buttonRate, buttonName, buttonSize) {
if (buttonName.scale==1) {
setProperty(buttonName, _xscale, buttonName._xscale+=((buttonSize*buttonRate)-(buttonName._xscale*buttonRate))*(buttonRate/10));
setProperty(buttonName, _yscale, buttonName._yscale+=((buttonSize*buttonRate)-(buttonName._yscale*buttonRate))*(buttonRate/10));
}
if (buttonName.scale==0) {
setProperty(buttonName, _xscale, buttonName._xscale+=((buttonRate*100)-(buttonName._xscale*buttonRate))*(buttonRate/10));
setProperty(buttonName, _yscale, buttonName._yscale+=((buttonRate*100)-(buttonName._yscale*buttonRate))*(buttonRate/10));
}
}
on the button it is
code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// set parameters for this button's expansion
_root.Expand(4,_root.button1,175);
}
I'm sure its probably easy but I can't figure out where to tweak the code.. maybe replacing x and y scale with a position.. but i'm at a loss. thanks in advance.

Combining Randomly Moving Body With Springy Leg
Hi I've been reading previous threads which have provided separate answers to the two theories of random movement and elasticity. But now I can't figure out how to combine them.
What I want is a movieclip (lets say 'body.mc'), moving randomly around the stage with a second movieclip ('foot_mc') that springs to the coordinates of the constantly moving 'body_mc'.
I found the code on bit-101.com, for the springy foot (part of making a creature):
bit-101.com
The problem with this is that I don't want the body to be draggable, I want it to move randomly of it's own accord.
Code:
foot_mc.onEnterFrame = spring;
function spring() {
if (!this.dragging) {
var dx = body_mc._x-this._x;
var dy = body_mc._y-this._y;
this.vx += dx*k;
this.vy += dy*k;
this.vx *= damp;
this.vy *= damp;
this._x += this.vx;
this._y += this.vy;
} else {
this.vx = this._x-this.oldx;
this.vy = this._y-this.oldy;
this.oldx = this._x;
this.oldy = this._y;
}
}
How do i remove the 'if' statement, with the dragging clause, and make the foot always spring to the body?
The random movement code, I found here:
kirupa.com
I hope someone out there has the expertise to help, or just shed some light.
grateful in advance
Looking For "springy Grid Navigation"
I think I saw some kind of grid somewhere once.
The squares were all the same size, but when you moved the mouse over the squares, the one underneath the cursor expanded and the other squares got smaller.
It looked really cool.
Anyone know what I'm talking about ?
Oh springy-grid, where art thou ?

Link In Pop-up Window (flash File) Target=parent Window
I have a flash demo that is opened from our web site and spawns a new window. At the end of the demo is a link that directs the user to "get more information." I would like this link to open the "more info" page in the PARENT window rather than the spawned window. Currently I have my Flash link coded with:
on (release) {
getURL ("http://www.hiddenmind.com/materials.html", _parent);
}
This is not working. Do I need to add some code to the parent window and/or the HTML page where the Flash file is embedded?
Thanks for your help! I can't seem to find the solution

Passing Variables From Spawned Window To Parent Window
Is it possible to pass a variable from a child to a parent window.
I have one page (Index.html) with a swf (index.swf). A button on the index.swf launches demo.html containing a demo.swf. When the user gets to a certain point in demo.swf, I need to tell index.swf that it has arrived. Is this possible.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Cordially,

Pausing After Preload If Browser Window Is Not Active Window
Hi folks,
I'm trying to figure out how to do this, but so far I have had no success. The intention is for anything like a Flash trailer, intro movie or such like which is large to preload and once this is done check to see if the user is still viewing that browser window.
So if during the preloading the user opens/selects a different window and the preloading finishes then the Flash will go to a paused screen, awaiting the user to indicate they want to proceed (eg a play button). If however the user still has, or has returned to, the browser window it will skip the pause screen and play the animation.
For an example the 9th chapter of Ninjai.com seems to do this (I haven't checked the other chapters).
Any help would be appreciated.

GetURL - Targetting The Parent Window Of Popup Window?
Hello!
Yet another thread on getURL but I did a search and couldn't find anything related to my question, so here goes...
I have a website which launches a 900x400 popup window which contains an interactive flash movie. From within this movie, I am loading in HTML from a text file which populates a scrolling textfield.
I was pleased to learn that href links within the text file work as links within the flash textfield. What I want to do is have these links open in the parent window that spawned the popup.
If I use target=_blank on these links, the pages open up in a new browser window.
If I use target=_parent on these links, the pages open up in the same popup window and obviously replace the flash movie content (goes to the link instead of launching it in the parent window).
Is it possible to use the _parent target to launch these links into the main website that spawned the popup or is _blank the only one?
If anyone has any tips or experience on this matter it would solve a huge headache for me.
Thank you!

Loading External SWF's Into A New Flash Window Instead Of A Browser Window?
I have this flash presentation where I have buttons when clicked on, a (_blank) browser window pops-up and begins playing external SWF's.
The problem is that, with windows XP, every time I click the button(s) to have the browser window pop-up, to play my externals, the damn 'virus protection notification' thing pops-up first, asking me if this content is allowed. Is there a way to turn this off? My client does not want to have to "allow" the browser to play the external SWF's everytime. I've tried everything but no luck.
Better yet, is there a way to have the external SWF's pop-up in a totally new flash window, on top of the main (presentation) window? I don't want the external SWF's playing in the same window, but rather show in a new window entirely. Can anyone help me? This project is past-due and it needs to go out today. I'll attach the current scripting I'm using so far, if it helps. Thanks so much!

Window Without Border And The Normal Windows Window
Hi there everybody !!!
I´m a guy from Denmark, who´s using flash as a way to promote my self.
I´m fairly good at using flash, but I have to admit, yhat I´m not very proficient at scripting/programming in flash and neither java. but I´m very eager to learn the art of programming/scripting.
Here´s my quostion for all you "HEAVY PROGRAMMERS" out there:
How do I make a new window, without any borders, as we usually see.
Is it a java thing or a flash ?
In the recent past I´ve discovered many sites using this technic. And I´m very curious about making this window.
A window without any borders
A window, - but not the normal popup window, that Explorer generates.
I´ve seen that Samsung uses it in theire website, and someother companies.
Hope everydody understands my request and will reply as soon as possible.
In forward thanks
Yours sincerely K. M. Egander
