Flash :: Why Does It Stop? Inf Menu

Stop My Infinite Menu
Please can anyone help? I've created an infinite menu using the following code in a movie clip.

onClipEvent (load)
{
xcenter=384;
speed=1/10;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var distance=_root._xmouse-xcenter;
_x+=(distance*speed);
if (_x > 65) _x=-573;
if (_x < -573) _x=65;
}

The menu works fine but I would like to stop it scrolling when the user takes the cursor away from the menu. I have buttons contained in the movie clip and have already tried some rollOver & rollOut script. That just stops the buttons from working altogether. I am using Flash MX.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[F8] CS3 Stop(); Command Ignored By Menu
Hi Guys,

Bit of a random one, but I hope that someone has an idea of what is going on. When my movie loads it gets to the first stop(); and stops. But when I use the navigation to move about, it ignores the stop on the landing frame and plays all the way through. This has only started happening since I upgraded to CS3. I have tested in FL8 / 9 and 9.45 with the same issue?

The majority of the content is loaded in from external swf or xml / txt files so it should all be behaving, but for some reason it's got a mind of it's own. I am sure that this is 100% user error, but I can't work out what I've done here.

As always, any help would be appreciated. The movie can be seen at http://www.fatepromotions.co.uk/arvella/arvella_v1.html and the source files are at http://www.onemarketingmonkey.co.uk/...sample_zip.zip if anyone has time to have a look it would be apprecited.

Will

Floating Menu Won't Stop At Ends?
Hi,
I'm trying to do a floating navigation bar at the top of the screen. I've combined three different scripts, so that when I roll out of the menu, it stops, instead of continuing to scroll. Problem is, I can't get it to stop when it reaches the end of the menu on both sides. It just keeps on scrolling, and gets lost off screen. Is there some way I can tell it to stop, or set speed to 0, or something like that? It's controlled by a follow mouse movie clip. The second frame of the follow mouse clip has this script

:drag = "/dragControl";
/:w = getProperty("/nav", _width);
/:xPos = getProperty(drag, _x);
/:yPos = getProperty(drag, _y);
// next 2 lines center the menu drag to the screen
/:yPos = /:yPos-50;
/:xPos = /:xPos-200;
// SET DRAG SPEED (inverse)
speed = 45;
setProperty ("/nav", _x, getProperty("/nav", _x)-(/:xPos/speed));
if (Number(getProperty("/nav", _x))<Number(-(/:w/2))) {
setProperty ("/nav", _x, _x+1);
} else if (Number(getProperty("/nav", _x))>0) {
setProperty ("/nav", _x, -/:w/2);
}

The movie clip is called "dragControl" and the menu is "nav"
I've been staring at this clip for a week and I don't know which way to go. I would really appreciate any thought, ideas! Thanks!

How Can I Stop A Floating Menu On A Rollover?
I have a menu that floats around the screen counter to where the mouse is positioned. Within the menu movie clip there are four buttons housed in a single movie clip of their own. What I'm trying to do is stop the menu mc from floating when the mouse rolls over any part of the menu mc.

I can accomplish it on the main timeline by putting a stop action on the first frame of the menu mc instance but this makes my four buttons inactive.

Is there any way to adjust the commands within the floating menu timeline? Here is the code on the first frame of the menu MC:

xspan = getProperty("_root.menu", _x)-getProperty("_root.center", _x);
yspan = getProperty("_root.menu", _y)-getProperty("_root.center", _y);
setProperty(_root.menu.balls, _rotation, (360-xspan)+(360-yspan));

if ((xspan*xspan)>0) {
setProperty("", _x, Number(getProperty("_root.center", _x))+Number((xspan*0.9)));
xspan = xspan-1;
} else {
setProperty("", _x, getProperty("_root.center", _x));
}
if ((yspan*yspan)>0) {
setProperty("", _y, Number(getProperty("_root.center", _y))+Number((yspan*0.9)));
yspan = yspan-1;
} else {
setProperty("", _y, getProperty("_root.center", _y));
}
_x += (getProperty("_root.center", _x)-_root._xmouse)*.1;
_y += (getProperty("_root.center", _y)-_root._ymouse)*.1;

I'm not sure where to put a rollover conditional statement within the code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a link to show you how it works without the rollover effect:

How Stop My Menu From Reloading When I Go To A New Page

Poms Inifinte Menu - But How Do I Get It To Stop?
Hi people!

I am using this following tutorial to create a mouse controlled menu.

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/infinite.htm

I've used it a few times before and its a great tutorial, and I've seen it passed round this forum a few times - so well done Pom!

The only thing is, on this particualr occasion I really need the menu to stop at either end, rather than go round and around.

I'm guessing one of the first steps is to not duplicate the menu, but I'm not sure how to modify the code.

Can anybody help?

I really need your assistance - and it would be much appreciated

Stop A Sliding Menu On Rollout
Hi guys, new here, and kinda new to Flash,
i'm using MX for my build but the scroller has flash 4 in it as well.
a button on my main movie loads a menu.swf into an empty MC. the code for that scroller is as follows: its old code

dX = ../slider:_x-230;
ypos = ../slider:_y;
if (Number(ypos)<60) {
ypos = 60;
}
setProperty("", _x, _x-dX/14);

reset = _xscale/100*360;
if (Number(_x)>Number((230+Number(reset)))) {
setProperty("", _x, _x-(_width/2));
} else if (Number(_x)<Number((230-reset))) {
setProperty("", _x, Number(_x)+Number((_width/2)));
}

the scroller MC itself is only 460*60 but its loaded into the main movie which is 720*460. because the slider is set to ../slider the scroller responds and move accordingly to the mouse on the entire movie.
I wish the scroller to stop scrolling when the mouse is no longer near it.

so should code be put into the scroller or the main movie?
i can't seem to create a hittest to tell the Scroller to stop when the mouse has moved away.

any ideas?

Rotating Menu, How To Stop On Rollover?
On the attached swf you'll see my slowly rotating menu.

Each of the icons around the outside is a button which takes u to a specific page.

When the user rolls over the button I want the menu to stop rotating, and if the user moves the mouse away I want the menu to continue rotating.

Can someone help me with the a/s here? Should I be using mc instead of a button?

TIA

Infinite Menu Must Stop When Clicked
Hi everybody,

I desperately need some help. I have an infinite menu taken from the tutorial at kirupa. It needs to stop when the movie (which has button inside) when clicked.

The script i have now for the mc is. It slows down when i don't hover over the movie/buttons, but i want it completely to stop. Is this possible?

onClipEvent (load) {
var xcenter = 400, speed = .001, decel = .94, accel = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var distance = _root._xmouse-xcenter;
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
accel += distance*speed;
}
_x += accel *= decel;
if (_x>0) {
_x = -985;
} else if (_x<-985) {
_x = 0;
}
}
Please help
Thanks in advance

Stop Reloading Menu In Flash
Hey all! First off, great community from what i've seen and glad to be here.

Second, my problem. I have this website that has a flash menu with each link you click dropping down to a submenu. But when i click on an item in the said submenu i want it to stay open, meaning i want the down state to stay where it's at, so the user knows where they are currently at. Everything is on the timeline right now cuz i thought it would be easier that way. Please help and thank you so much in advance.

Infinite Menu Stop On Mouse Out.
Ok, I'm about to loose my mind, I hope there is someone out there who can give me some pointers.

So, i have an infinte menu (actionscript (AS2) posted bellow)

When the mouse moves out of the movieclip over or under, it stops. However if i drag the mouse to the right or left of it, it just keeps on speeding up.

Anyone got a clue?

onClipEvent (load) {
var xcenter = 280, speed = .01, decel = .90, accel = 0;

}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var distance = _root._xmouse-xcenter;
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
accel += distance*speed;
}
_x += accel *= decel;
if (_x>0) {
_x = -2255;
} else if (_x<-2255) {
_x = 0;

Sliding Menu Doesn't Stop Where It Should
Hi,

I created a page using the sliding menu but I seem to have a problem with the way it stops on a movie clip. If I add too many movieclips (don't know if it's the number or the width of them causing the problem) the script doesn't stop right on the center of the movieclip. it looks like it doesn't stop smack down centered and it gets worse the more movieclips you add.

Can anyone help please? this is the page I made http://www.thenextmen.com/

If I add more links the content in the middle is not aligned. Every movieclip is the same size.

Thanks

Slide Menu - Stop Motion
I have a question regarding the "Slide Menu" on ultrashock

Unfortunately in MX you can have rendered html text but it will not appear if there is a Mask over it. I did a layout with your slide menu and a mask for layout purposes which diminishes flash's ability to display the html text. =( Is it possible to have the html text appear after the 'Slide Menu' has stopped its motion (text is placed on a layer above the "slider" movieclip).

I was wondering if its possible to have the slider trigger on external movieclip(instance) once its motion stops? That way it could display the proper text according to which page/button the user selected.

Well if you have a quick solution I would appreciate your assistance. Flash is a bit flaky with html text. They claim 7 will read .css. I'll believe it after I test it! =P

How To Stop Flash Player's Dropdown Menu?
Hi...

What I'm interested in is that... if you click the 'third mouse button' in the Flash player, you get this dropdown menu, with options such as zoom, play, and 'about Macromedia' and stuff.

For some websites, when you click the third mouse button, you only get two options, instead of ALL others... How do we do that?

Stop Flash Menu Refreshing On New Cfm Page.
Hi I hope somebody can help me with this. I've designed a site (http://mfd.webdevzw.com) which a developer is in the process of finishing now, but she knows little about flash, and I'm not too hot on the actionscripting myself. I have this menu at the top, when the button is clicked it is supposed to spring on release, bounce and then stay down as the new page is accessed. Obviously it's refreshing though on the new page and you don't get the effect. Is there a way for the .swf to remember where it was? or not refresh on the new page. (we really don't want to use frames) thanks in advance.

How To Make Scroller Stop When Menu Is Active
hi,

in my flash file i use a movieclip that scrolls images controlled by the mouse. there is a variable speed, and if it set to 0, the scroller is stopped.

so far it works fine.
but i also have a dropdown menu which overlaps the scroll area when it is unfolded. and so, if i want to navigate, the images keep quickly scrolling around, which is rather annoying.
the menu is inside a movie clip.

i think i'll have to set the speed variable to 0 when the mouse rolls over the space that the menu occupies.

can you tell me if it works that way and how i have to actionscript that?

thanks a lot

Rotating Menu/Panels. How To Stop Them OnRelease?
Hi all,
I got this script from a tutorial site (http://www.actionscript.org/showMovie.php?id=1284). It's a 3D rotating menu/panels, reacting to mouse movement. On mouse click, it will expand to a certain size, but I can't stop the rotation. How can I stop the rotation with the specified panel facing front when mouse release, and return to rotating and its original size upon second mouse click??

And, I notice it's a little buggy, the panel shink to a size smaller than original size when you do a quick click while it's still expanding. :S

I don't know how I can attach the codes here because all the codes are all over the instance and frames. Perhaps you can check out the original tutorial http://www.actionscript.org/showMovie.php?id=1284

Many thanks!! I really appreciated it!

Infinite Menu Stop And Move In Place Help
I know there alot of Infinite menu threads, but I didn't find any that addresses my issue.

I am trying to stop an infinite menu and have it go to the exact place each time a photo is clicked. I think the problem is coming when its close to the "looping" point, and a button is clicked the menu starts looping non-stop.

This is what I have so far: test_9

This is an idea of what I am trying to do: http://www.octopusaccessories.dk/
