Tsunami Menu
Hi there. Does anyone know why the tsunami menu featured on FK ( http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ac...-529/index.php ) does not work when you export it as flash 7. It works fine upto flash 6.
Im sure its the actionscripts used, but i cant seem to fix the problem.

Any ideas ?

the code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
//script made by donny @ http://www.flashcircle.com

if (mouse<0)
{

Tsunami Menu Help
i modified the tsunami tutorial and plan to use it as a menu. after converting each individual movie into a button, it will not let me perform any button action but whenever my mouse is over it, the mouse will still change just like a regular button.

Tsunami-like Menu
(I apologize if this question has been asked many times before, but I can't find an answer to it anywhere!)

I would love to know how to make a navigation menu like this:

http://www.finalfantasyxii.com/

I have seen some tsunami menus that are almost like it, but not quite. When you roll over a button, it pushes all the others aside. It's very smooth and clean looking and I'd love to try to create a menu like that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :D

Help Me Add URLs To Tsunami Menu
Hello!

I'm a old programmer but I'm new in FLASH programing!


I like to know if anyone read toturial about Tsunami menu... in Actionscripting/Expert on flashkit.com

http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ac...29/index.shtml

I like it very much and I don't know how to add URLs to it's buttons

[F8] Tsunami Menu Prob.
hi, iv followed this Tutorials: "http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Actionscripting/Expert/Building-Morten_B-529/index.php"

and built a menu which works fine.

iv also got a MC which loads in a movie '.swf' file which has a movieclip with a drag actions on. it used:

on (press, dragOver) {
startDrag(_parent);
}
on (release, releaseOutside) {
stopDrag();
}
...

which also works fine at draging the MC around.

so the problem is when i play the whole thing the menu works fine untill you drag that MC around then after that the menu returns to its sitting place then dosnt move again but the buttons work.

is there a diffrent code for _Drag i can us.. etc ??

Thanks Si

Question On Tsunami Menu
Hi there,
I'm working on a tsunami effect for a menu, an horizontal one. I used the code posted on http://www.webwasp.co.uk/tutorials/b07-tsunami/menu.php
That's ok for what I wanted, except for the fact that the menu goes back to its original size in an abrupt way, I'd like it to be softer. I tried what I supposed was logical, decrease the scale values in a loop, instead of asigning the value 100 to the _xscale and _yscale properties.

I post here the code:

onClipEvent (mouseMove) {

dist=Math.sqrt(Math.pow(Math.abs(_xmouse),2)+Math. pow(Math.abs(_ymouse), 2));

if (dist<=_root.menutriggerdist) {
currscale=(1-(dist/(_root.menumultiplier*_root.menutriggerdist)))*(_r oot.menumaxscale-100);
this._xscale = currscale;
this._yscale = currscale;
} else {
//this is the original code
//this._xscale = 100;
//this._yscale = 100;
//this is what I wrote, that didn't work
while (this.xscale>100) {
this._xscale--;
this._yscale--;
}
}

Any ideas of how to solve this?
Cheers, and thanks for the help and this great site.

Im using the menu found here http://jrgraphix.net/research/flash_dock.php

Only thing is all the icons are compiled into 1 mc and you cant seem to get to each invidual mc. Have listed the objects and they all pop up with IDs "_level0.menu_mc.5._mc"

Whenever I try to reference one like _root.menu_mc.5._alpha = 0; it says it doesnt exist.

Please Help Tsunami Menu Link Problem
Hi all,

(FLA attached)

I am attempting to build a tsunami-type menu which contains links to sections in the movie. I have built the majority of it thanks to the help of a tutorial however I can't get the links working. I cant figure out where to put the actions so that when items in the menu are clicked on, the movie jumps to the relevant place.

The menu works by duplicating 1 movie clip then pulls in a menu label from an array into a dynamic text box. I am trying to get the movie clip to read which label from the array has been pulled in and then on mouse click the movie will jump to a frame label in the main timeline with the same title as the array.

Sounds complicated but I didn't think it would be this hard! Now I'm pulling my hair out so if anyone can help I'd be so grateful!

Thanks in advance

Tsunami Menu With A Sub Menu
Hi All

Is it possible to create a main menu that has the tsunami effect but also reveals a sub menu when you rollover each main button????

Thanks.

"walking"/sliding/crawling Menu (tsunami)?
Hello people
I am in a real distress - trying to make a menu looking like the one shown here:
http://www.fluid.nl/shockwave/index.html
That is a sort of "tsunami" if I get it right... On mousover, the elements nearest to the mouse grow - the nearer they are, the more they grow - like in the many examples of tsunami that you can find on the web.
The problem I have is that as they grow, the elements should also push one another sideways, so that the menu sort of "walks" or "slides" sideways. Which is exactly what I cannot achieve...
So, my question is: do any of you know how to make this effect? Please help me - I'm completely lost...
Thanks in advance,
Mikolaj

The Dreaded Tsunami
has anyone done the tsunami tutorial on here?

I did it and well, customizing it has been a bit tricky... i admit that i should probably be a little better at actionscripting than I am to have attempted this one, but hey you won't stretch if you don't push right?

ANYHOW.... In the tutorial there are 19 items... in my version I have used only 6. Now I have changed what I thought were all the necessary variables and checked and re-checked all of my instance names (that one usually hangs me up) but it just won't work!

It's stops instantly as though the mouse is rolled over one of the objects... but it's just stuck....no movement at all.

maybe there is a better tutorial somewhere... Any advice appreciated...

thank you all very very much.

Adapting Tsunami As
does anyone know how I'd go about building a tsunami where one object is already scaled large when the site opens and shrinks only when you roll over the others? And then returns to it's large size when you take the mouse out again? eg. in the tsunami all the objects' normal states are small except for one whose normal state is large.
I'm trying to get something similar to the menu in http://www.8edge.com. thanks for any help.
I understand (more or less) the tsunai .fla in the tutes.

Tsunami Text
very new to actionscripting

know it's old, but want to adapt the tsunami effect from praystation...to the fla from http://www.hhbk.subnet.dk

problem: can't figure out adding multiple columns. I followed the ins. according to http://www.hhbk.subnet.dk/building_a_tsunami: made seperate movie clips (column2, column3, etc.) and placed them in their own bounding box in the main clip (which contains the original bounding box and text column)

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Tsunami Effect
Can somebody explain what is going on here. I have placed a Tsunami text effect on my flash site, but I am having a problem. Evertime the time line reaches the keyframe for the Tsunami effect, the Movie does a 1 second jump or glinch if you will.

.....Later after further observation....I found out the reason the Tsunami effect is glinching is because I expanded the borders of the original which I pasted into my site from a tutorial for tweeking. I don't understand why it's doing this because as long as the Tsunami is a movie clip, I should always be able to go into the editable movie clip and make adjustments; right???

Advanced Tsunami
Hello. I've been toying with the idea of building a menu in a similar style to that shown here http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ac...29/index.shtml - however, I do not want to have lines of text in my tsunami, but flash graphics that act in the same way to the example above.
My problem is that I cannot get a simple graphic to behave in the above manner, let alone a series of grouped graphics with behavious of buttons.
Can anyone push me in the right direction?

Drop Down Tsunami
I am creating a drop down menu using the tsunami tutorial from this site (a very cool effect btw!)

I have assigned button actions to each of the menu items in the tsunami. The drop down is a simple two frame movie clip. In the first frame there is a button that covers only the header of the menu that tells the movie to go to the second frame.

the second frame has the header and the tsunami menu. the hit box covers both of these with the command that on roll out return to frame 1.

sounds good in theory. here is the problem: if the hit button in frame 2 is on top of the tsunami menu, the tsunami buttons don't work. if the tsunami is on top, the hit button doesn't work.

Obviously this is the wrong way to go about it. is there some actionscript that would keep the movie in the second frame based on x and y coordinates of the user's mouse?

Please be specific. I only sound like I know what I'm talking about.

thanks.

Tsunami Rollover?
Guys i need help with the following effect,

let's say i have 4 circular icons...on rollover i'd like to zoom in on them, well one at a time, and at the same time i want the other icons to be pushed out of the way (so they're all visible no matter how big the zoomed in overstate is (or how far apart they are from each other for that matter).

In flash, is there something like "no overlapping layers" option (like in dreamweaver).

hope that makes sense and thanks for any help,
