Animation the buttons

Hello guys, Whenever I put a new page to my web site iweb automatically adds the link to top of the page. Is it possible to add animations to those links? ( flashing or zooming) anything?

No, not to the links in the navbar. It's generated via javascript and if very difficult to change. If you create your ownText Based Navbar you can control the font (be sure to use Web Safe Fonts only), color, size rollover colors, etc.
If you want blinking text see this demo page. I don't know if it can be made into a link except for putting a transparent shape over it and linking the shape.

View State Animations & the Back button (on Android)

Hello, everyone!
Is it possible to animate between view states when developing for mobile devices (like Android)?
And if so (and the bigger question for me), when you transition from one state to another, can you use the Back button on the Android device to transition back to a previous state?

Hi, Jason,
First and foremost, thank you for your timely response, and for your well-received advice!
After reading the posts from the MAX Beta link your provided, it is my understanding that if you disable the default back button handling, that the button itself would no longer function in the application.
I still want to use the back button, but I want to add the back button's popView function to states as well as Views.
If I missed anything, please let me know.
And thank you, once again!
PS-I don't know if this makes a huge difference, but I'm using the latest pre-released version of Flash Builder 4.5 with AIR 2.6 (released 2 weeks ago).

Once I add my .swf to Dreamweaver, the buttons are not clickable, how can I fix this?

Hello there,
I'd just like to start out by saying that this is the first time I have posted on these forums, so if I have done anything wrong, I apologize!
Anyway, about my question, just like the title says, once I import the .swf into Dreamweaver the buttons are not clickable, however when tested outside of Dreamweaver, they work correctly.
Basically I have an animated banner with some audio and two buttons, the buttons mute and unmute the music.
The file consists of two layers, one of which has 2 keyframes, the first keyframe has the Audio with the settings; "Effect: None. Sync: Start, Loop" and a button leading to the next frame.
The next keyframe (still on layer one) has much of the same but the Audio settings are different; "Effect: None. Sync: Stop, repeat x 1" and this will stop the music.
Now on the other layer (Rocket) I have a movie clip of a space-themed background and a rocket flying across it, the movie clip is made up of a motion tween and another movie clip which is the rocket.
I am using Flash CS6 and Dreamweaver CS6 on a Windows 7 computer. I am also using Actionscript 2.0
I apologize for the amount of information and I'm not very briliant at explaining things, so here are some images of the flash file, hopefully they'll help;
Layer setup - http://i.imgur.com/iZHwfAw.jpg
The movie clip - http://i.imgur.com/ayvPJUZ.jpg
Keyframe one sound settings - http://i.imgur.com/LWbnQhO.jpg
Keyframe two sound settings - http://i.imgur.com/7kS9dO2.jpg
Actionscript for the first button/first keyframe - http://i.imgur.com/x6ROqPv.jpg - (The second button/keyframe has the same code, but obviously the instance name and frame number has been changed)
Again, I apologise if this all seems confusing!
Thanks in advance for any answers to this question
Adam.

If you did not create this swf yourself then you won't be able to do what I am suggesting. If you did, then open the fla in Flash and go into the Publish Settings and select the option to publish an html file as an output. That will create an html page that embeds the Flash file. Test that file in your browser and see if it plays properly. IF so, then copy that code in place of whatever Dreamweaver did to embed the Flash.
Dreamweaver is not a reliable tool for embedding Flash content... why it does not do it the same way Flash does it is anyone's guess.

Responsive Scaling Makes Texts on The Buttons Disappear

Hi,
I made an animation which has buttons, their hover animation states, and text on each button. When I activate responsive scaling function and preview the result, texts on the buttons (which are located right half of the screen somehow) disappear! When I shrink the browser, they appear suddenly each by each. This happens on safari and chrome. Firefox seems working. I haven't test IE. If I don't use responsive scaling, everything seems normal. So, is it a bug? or Am I doing something wrong? Please help me with this issue. Thanks in advance.
Burak

Hey Burak,
Unfortunately this is an issue with Webkit (Safari and Chrome browsers) where the elements get reordered when scaling is applied. One workaround is to increase the size of your overall project as the bug seems to kick in at about 2x the size. Sorry!

How does one put animations into buttons?

I'm not talking about taking the button and fiddling with the way it is. I have an animated glowing effect in both movie clip and graphic and all I want to do is have it play, overlapping the button's over frame. However, everytime I enable simple buttons, neither work. Is a code needed?
Also I need to know how to have my glowing effect to repeat in a specific way. The animation has an intro and a loop. I want it to end by going back to where the loop is to continue looping rather than going back to the intro where it would spantaneously pop up (should I use a generic gotoAndPlay (framenumber); code?)

It's not really clear what you are trying to do or trying to avoid, but it sounds like you won't get where you want to be using SimpleButtons. If you create your buttons as movieclips you can them pretty well control any aspect of how they play out.

Control stage animation from buttons nested in a symbol

I have a symbol that is animated png SEQ of a rotating "cube". Added to the symbol I created "buttons" that are clear rectangles that define a "clicking area" . Each one corresponds to a side of the "cube". As the cube turns i turn these "buttons" on/off and track the corresponding cube face while it is facing the user. The symbol name is "CubeSpin" the button names in the symbol are Button1, Button2, etc to Button6.
What I want to be able to do is create click actions for these buttons from the main stage compositionReady which would - (1) stop() the play of "CubeSpin" symbol and (2) goto and play(label) on the main stage timeline. The animation at the head of play(label) on the main stage, among other things, slides symbol "CubeSpin" off the stage and out of view, then turns it off (display off). At the end of this animation, "CubeSpin" slides back on stage and I want to add a trigger code to start play() again for the "CubeSpin" symbol.
Thanks for any help here.

Where is the button? ( Frames 2 Timeline )

Hello folks, I got a big problem here, no where on the Animation Panel I can
find the button to switch from frames view to timeline view.
Anyone know why? I need to switch views but don't see how.
Thanks........ Gesy

I think timline view is in Photoshop Extended and not in Photoshop which it looks like your running. Extended has a few more menu items and some 3D and video support things like timeline view, blending mode options, 3d renering, rotation etc....
From CS5 Help
Timeline animation workflow (Photoshop Extended)
To animate layer content in timeline mode (rather than frame mode), you set keyframes in the Animation panel, as you move the current-time indicator to a different time/frame, and then modify the position, opacity, or style of the layer content. Photoshop automatically adds or modifies a series of frames between two existing frames—varying the layer properties (position, opacity, and styles) evenly between the new frames to create the appearance of movement or transformation.
For example, if you want to fade out a layer, set the opacity of the layer in the starting frame to 100% and in the Animation panel, click the Opacity stopwatch for the layer. Then move the current-time indicator to the time/frame for the ending frame and set the opacity for the same layer to 0%. Photoshop Extended automatically interpolates frames between the start and end frames, and the opacity of the layer is reduced evenly across the new frames.
In addition to letting Photoshop interpolate frames in an animation, you can also create a hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation by painting on a blank video layer.

Flash animation in button states

hello to gurus out there,
i am trying, several days now, to attach flash animated skins
to 3 of my buttons in a Flex application. Can somebody help me tell
this to Flex?
I've tried
<mx:Button id="deleteButton"
disabledSkin="@Embed(source='/resource/icons/delete_disabled.swf)"
overSkin="@Embed(source='/resource/icons/delete_over.swf')"
upSkin="@Embed(source='/resource/icons/delete_up.swf')"
downSkin="@Embed(source='/resource/icons/delete_down.swf')"
click="deleteClicked()"/>
..but with no good, i then get 200 errors in line 0 even
after i delete the code above
thanks is advance!

thx Peter for your time helping me out (btw heres the
link
you sent me, very useful indeed) but it seems i can't still figure
out how to skin a Flex button component with animated skins i made
in Flash. So i''ll try explaining it better. Please bare with me.
In my Flex application i have 2 different kind of buttons.
One is static and that was pretty easy skinning it with the
.swf and .css examples i found.
Second one though, has a rotating animation on Over state
which changes the dimensions of the button.
In my flash file I made a movieClip (Mybutton) where i have
the four states of my button in 4 different movieclips along the
timeline. I labeled 4 frames according to the button state it
holds. i then used make Flex component command to export the swf to
Flex. And i actually see it in my custom components in Flex, but of
course i see it as a movieclip and not a button.
How do i tell Flex that this is a button and define its skin
states from the frame labels in flash?
I did try the @embed source skinning a Flex button with
separate swf but it's totally messed up with the animation the swf
holds. It completely distorts when i place mouse over it.
I don't know where I'm going wrong, can somebody help me
out??

Animated Flash Buttons Not Working Right

I'm updating my website and my menu buttons have an animation on the mouseOver. A simple animated button with the "Up", "Over", "Down" and "Hit" keyframes.
www.brenda-nies.com will show the effect of my menu buttons and the effect I want to keep. Part of my updates are switching to AS3 and that's where my problem comes in. You can't see it on the website I gave you, but in my working file, when I test it (in IE8), everything starts out fine when I first rollover my button, the animation runs through it's cycle and stops. However, if I press down on the mouse button, the animation starts over. The same when I release the mouse button, the animation starts over. I want the animation to run through 1 cycle and stop, then stay stopped until I roll off the button.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong....or not doing?

I appreciate you help, you helped me on another question before as well. However, for this particular question, I'm am already doing what your saying, at least I think I am.
I've attached a screenshot below of what I currently have. The first layer, is all text, so...the "About Me". The second layer is my animation. That blue and black bar is actually hidden behind that grayed out "black and wood" area. That blue and black bar is also the "Button_Bar" layer in my timeline. When I rollover "About Me", that blue bar rises up and the edges fade. That all works fine and dandy. However (and I'm sorry if I'm repeating), let's say I want to go to the "About Me" section. When I click "Down" the mouse button, the animation starts over - the blue bar disappears for a split second and rises up from behind that aforementioned area. The same when I release the mouse button - the bar disappears for a split second and rises up. And I have to mention that not once did I roll off my button, yet the animation replayed with each mouse event.
I thought maybe it was my file so I did a test and started fresh with a brand new document. Same thing is happening. I don't have any script, except for the stop script in my movie clip. Should I be using some kind of script?
As for the movie clip, I created it using a shape tween. I also don't want anything in the "Up" state.

Animated Flash buttons start

Hello, hi to everybody, I'm new to the forum. I'm having the following problem. I created these buttons that should do the following screen. Be dark when the mouse is not over them. Smoothly transit to a brighter colour when the mouse get's over them and then again smoothly transit to dark when the mouse get's away. To do so I created 2 animations the one that gets the button darker and the one that gets the button brighter (which is actually the normal picture of the button).
The button statuses are these:
UP: Bright to Dark animation
OVER: Dark to Bright animation
DOWN: Bright picture
HIT: Bright picture
now the buttons work perfectly except for the fact that when i turn on the scene before they get dark the buttons have to go through the up animation (bright to dark) so it looks like turning all the lights off. How do i have my buttons start off being dark?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE HELPING

there's nothing you can do to control those movieclips.
you're stuck with what you have or you must redesign your app so you're using a movieclip button that has true frames, not a button that has "status slots".

Help with Reverse Animation On Button

The buttons are animated with a movie clip inside each button
and the movie clip plays on rollover, however I need this same
movie clip inside the buttons to play reversed, when the cursor is
moved away from the button.
I know how to do this with an instance but I already made
each button and fooled around a thousand times with the animation
and I do not wish to start over again!
I have only experimented with this type of action script
before and I must say I am a little lost =(
Can anyone help me as to how I would go about doing this ?
Any coding would help.
I know there is a simple way of doing it with action script,
but I have no more time to fool around and I need your assistance
=P
If you could supply the code it would help me out.
(I can modify it to work with my page and my buttons)
Just need something to work off of.
Maybe a code I can put on the button, or whatever you can
come up with.
For future reference,
thanks

Without knowing the details of what you have created, or the
code you have attempted to use, the best I can offer at the moment
is to say you need to have the reverse playing code of the
movieclip get triggered by the mouse out event and not stop
stepping back down the timeline until the _currentframe value
reaches 1. If another mouse over should occur, then it's your
decision as to whether it picks up from where it has stepped back
to or starts from frame 1.
Starting over again is often the better approach, since what
you may have created may not be able to facilitate directing things
to play in reverse.

Get symbol timeline to play EVERY TIME the button is clicked?

I have an animation with a button, when the button is clicked a symbol timeline is played from a label at the beginning of the timeline.
After the button is clicked the first time it will not play the timeline again until the page is refreshed.
How can I get the button to play the symbol's timeline any time it is clicked without having to refresh the page?

Yes - you could put your buttons in a group and use $.each. bellow is how to do it but I am sure there are other ways you could do it.
Here is an example - you have a group div called buttons that contains all your different buttons. (they can have any name since it will look for the children of the buttons div in order from bottom to top of the stack in your buttons div. I add a mouseout or mouseleave on the buttons to send the timelines back to 0.
The symbols are called symbol_1, symbol_2, etc in the example below but you could also make an array of the symbol names like var mySymbols = ['first','second','third','fourth','fifth']; and use sym.getSymbol(mySymbols[i]).play();
var buttons = sym.$("buttons").children();
$.each(buttons,function(i){
$(this).on("click", function(){
sym.getSymbol('symbol_' + i).play();
$(this).on("mouseout", function(){
sym.getSymbol('symbol_' + i).stop(0);
Below the group div is called btnSummer and had multiple buttons into it.

On the second time I go back to the button, it doesnt work anymore?

Hello,
Well im still busy making an animation and I got stuck.
The animation goes as following: I have 15 buttons active at this moment, I only programmed 1 so far. If I click on this 1 button (linkslinksboven_btn) it goes to a certain frame, in this case frame 181. In frame 181 I have 4 new buttons which 1 is programmed yet, if I click on this button (linkscirkellinks_btn) I made some lines go to a colour and a letter "M" is turning 10 times during 10 seconds. After those 10 seconds that little animation stops and I have to click on a button (onzichtbareknoplinkslinksboven_btn) that goes back to where my 15 buttons are active which should be at frame 180, so all 15 are able to get clicked again. So I click on the button, it shows my 15 buttons but when I click on the 1 I programmed and used earlier it does nothing?
Here's all the coding on my first keyframe:
//---Frame stop @ frame 180---\\
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame180);
function onEnterFrame180(e:Event):void {
     if (currentFrame == 180) stop();
//---Knop linksmidden_btn---\\
linksmidden_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linksmidden_btnClick);
function linksmidden_btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay(180);
//---Knop linkslinksboven_btn---\\
linkslinksboven_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linkslinksboven_btnClick);
function linkslinksboven_btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay(181);
//---Knop linksrechtsboven_btn---\\
linksrechtsboven_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linksrechtsboven_btnClick);
function linksrechtsboven_btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay(182);
//---Knop linkslinksmidden_btn---\\
linkslinksmidden_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linkslinksmidden_btnClick);
function linkslinksmidden_btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay(183);
//---Knop linksrechtsmidden_btn---\\
linksrechtsmidden_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linksrechtsmidden_btnClick);
function linksrechtsmidden_btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay(184);
//---Knop linkslinksonderbovenkant_btn---\\
linkslinksonderbovenkant_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linkslinksonderbovenkant_btnClick);
function linkslinksonderbovenkant_btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay(185);
//---Knop linkslinksonderonderkant_btn---\\
linkslinksonderonderkant_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linkslinksonderonderkant_btnClick);
function linkslinksonderonderkant_btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay(186);
//---Knop linksrechtsonderonderkant_btn---\\
linksrechtsonderonderkant_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linksrechtsonderonderkant_btnClick);
function linksrechtsonderonderkant_btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay(187);
//---Knop linksrechtsonderbovenkant_btn---\\
linksrechtsonderbovenkant_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linksrechtsonderbovenkant_btnClick);
function linksrechtsonderbovenkant_btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay(188);
//---Knop rechtsonderkant_btn---\\
rechtsonderkant_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rechtsonderkant_btnClick);
function rechtsonderkant_btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay(189);
//---Knop rechtsbovenkant_btn---\\
rechtsbovenkant_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rechtsbovenkant_btnClick);
function rechtsbovenkant_btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay(190);
Here's the coding at the second keyframe wich is at frame 181:
stop();
//---Knop linkscirkellinks_btn---\\
linkscirkellinks_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linkscirkellinks_btnClick);
function linkscirkellinks_btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay(182);
//---Knop linkscirkelboven_btn---\\
linkscirkelboven_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linkscirkelboven_btnClick);
function linkscirkelboven_btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay(183);
//---Knop linkscirkelrechts_btn---\\
linkscirkelrechts_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linkscirkelrechts_btnClick);
function linkscirkelrechts_btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay(184);
//---Knop linkscirkelonder_btn---\\
linkscirkelonder_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linkscirkelonder_btnClick);
function linkscirkelonder_btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay(185);
And then finally on my last keyframe so far at frame 481:
stop();
//---Knop onzichtbareknoplinkslinksboven_btn---\\
onzichtbareknoplinkslinksboven_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onzichtbareknoplinkslinksboven_btnClick);
function onzichtbareknoplinkslinksboven_btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay(180);
Does anyone know why I cannot click on the linkslinksboven_btn when I get to that frame for the second time?
Every help or even tips to make my step easyer are welcome! Im open to learn! =)
Dear Greetings,
Coyke

You probably need to have your buttons' code at frame 180 instead of any earlier frame. If the 15 buttons end at frame 180, but the code for them is at frame 1, then when you move beyond frame 180 you essentially lose the buttons, and if you move back to frame 180, there is no code there to assign functionality to the buttons.
