Flash Slider- Slider Position Directs You to Another Frame

Hi Everyone,
I'll keep it brief and direct-
I have a frame that has a slider. I need the slider to affect a few things.
1. If the slider does not move, I need copy to pop-up saying "You Did Not Move the Slider."
2. If the slider moves, say... 25%-35% I need a button that reads you moved the slider only that much and, when you press the button, sends you to a different frame on the timeline.
3. Same as 2 except that the slider moves between 75%-85% and the button takes you to a different frame.
Any idea how to do this? Is there a name for something like this? Any information at all is appreciated. Actually solving this problem would be FANTASTIC.
PHX

If you are planning to have a custome slider, then you should search Google using terms like "AS2 customer slider tutorial"  I don't believe AS2 includes a Slider component, but if you use AS3 there is one available.  With it you can set the minimum, maximum, and intervals.
For item 1, what is the criteria for determining that the slider hasn't moved... meaning does the user get a chance to move it before the message occurs?
For the other items, when you have a working Slider, you should be able to figure out how to utilize the values for different actions.

  • Spinning a wheel, randomly stops and then takes you to another frame.

    I would like to be able to spin a wheel in flash, this wheel has 8 sections to it split up equally, it spins for a random amount of time, 3 - 7 seconds and then stops. the section which lands on the marker is the result and will take you to a specific frame. Also i would like it when it stops to gradually slow down however this is not vital.
    this code works for just rotating a wheel but i want to know how to randomly stop it and how to take it to another frame.
    onClipEvent (enterFrame){
    this.ang=ang+0.01;
    _alpha=190*Math.sin(this.ang)+190;
    _rotation++;
    _xscale=260*Math.sin(this.ang)+1900;
    i do not know a lot of coding, so do not use complicated words and if you could post how to do this it would help alot.
    thanks

    import mx.transitions.Tween;
    var obj:Object = {};
    start_mc.onRelease=spinF;
    function spinF(){
    obj.x = wheel_mc._rotation;
    var myTween:Tween = new Tween(obj, "x", mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeInOut,0, Math.random()*360*5, 3+Math.floor(Math.random()*5), true);

  • Please help -- Flash Slide Presentation

    I've completed a Flash Slide Presentation (here at
    work, which should be online right now). There are no nav buttons
    displayed, but the left and right arrow buttons work when run
    directly as a flash movie (test movie). As soon as I use the
    published html file to load the movie, however, the arrow keys no
    longer work, and I still see no nav buttons. Is the template bad?
    I've read several tutorials on creating a slide presentation and
    I've followed all the steps. I'm just beginning with action script,
    so I'm obtuse about these things.
    Thanks

    It is hard to tell the problem by just your description. If
    you could post your file it would be a great help. Only thing I can
    suggest is looking for any stop(); actions in your timeline.
    At the end of your movie if you don't use a stop(); action it
    should loop forever.

  • Navigating Flash Slide Show Presentation??

    Hello,
    I have an .SWF file which I created using the Flash Slide
    Presentation document type. It consists of a number of screens. I
    need to load this .SWF file into another Flash movie and control it
    with actionscript, but I do not know the code. Could someone please
    give me a hint at the code needed for simply getting this movie to
    jump from one slide/screen to another? Or point me to a good
    tutorial?
    Thanks in advance.

    was afraid of that... thanks you :-)

  • How can I Access the Flash "Slide class" using flex and ActionScript 3?

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me solve a problem...
    I'm using the flex SwfLoader to load a flash side
    presentation as follows...
    <mx:SWFLoader id="ss_slides" source="ss_slides.swf"
    width="320" height="240"/>
    I would like to access the flash "Slide Class" using flex so
    I can make the following call...
    Slide.gotoNextSlide();
    Anyone know how I can do that?
    Would it be through the SwfLoader Object?
    Is there another way?
    F.Y.I. Here is a snippets about the Slide class from the
    Flash 8 help...
    Using the Slide class (Flash Professional only)
    You use the methods and properties of the Slide class to
    control slide
    presentations you create using the Screen Outline pane for a
    Flash Slide
    Presentation, to get information about a slide presentation
    (for example, to
    determine the number of child slides contained by parent
    slide), or to navigate
    between slides in a slide presentation (for example, to
    create "Next slide" and
    "Previous slide" buttons).
    You can also use the built-in behaviors that are available
    in the Behaviors
    panel to control slide presentations. For more information,
    see Adding controls
    to screens using behaviors (Flash Professional only) in Using
    Flash.
    Thanks,
    Chris S.

    Hi Chris,
    You cannot access the methods of the Flash 8 movie from Flex.
    And you can't do it the other way around either.
    The only way to communicate is to create a LocalConnection on
    each side.

  • Project freezes every time at same slide position on mobile devices.

    (Using Captivate 6.1 on Mavericks running in 2014 iMac. This project contains 32 slides, some with audio (played using the advanced action for Play Audio), and some without, and it works well on desktop Mac and PC. It is published as SWF/HTML5, and the link from the webpage points to the multiscreen.html file.)
    In spite of working smoothly on regular desktop computers, it's a different story in mobile devices. When tapping on the smartshape arrow button to advance to the next slide (from slide 5 to 6), the button's appearance changes to show that it's in the down/clicked position as expected, but it stays there and doesn't return to the up/unclicked appearance for anywhere between 3:11 to 3:30 on my iPad 4 (on an iPhone 4 running iOS 6 the screen doesn't advance even after 20 minutes). The slide doesn't advance to the next screen or go back to the previous one. Instead, the browser freezes (tried in Safari and Dolphin on tablet), meaning it won't go back, forward, add a tab, view another tab, etc. After the 3:00+ time period, the button that was in the down position completes the clicking action/sound, and then the browser and slide work properly. I can go back and forth over the problem location after that with no more freezing.
    The consistent slide location where the concern occurs seems to suggest that it's not a broadband connection issue (or the delay would happen in other slide positions also). In trying to fix the problem, I deleted the slide where the problem was occurring, but the slide that filled in its vacancy (slide 6 became slide 5 after the deletion) caused the same problem. This leads me to think that it's nothing in the specific slide content causing the issue, but that it has something to do with the 5th slide position. The slides that were in the number 5 position have either text-only or a .png file, and the same smartshape navigation buttons as all the other slides so they don't use more resources than anything else. But, the temporary freezing acts similar to when something is hogging the resources of the browser. It doesn't hog the device resources though, because I can quit the app, or go to other apps during the freeze with no problem. But, after the initial freeze is passed, then there is no more delay at the problem-point or anywhere else in the project.
    This pause isn't okay, because users will quit the project if they have to wait that long to advance to the next slide.
    I'm at the end of my knowledge and ideas, and need help. Is there anything that I can try to remove this delay from mobile apps?

    Sorry this is so wordy. Just hoped to give specific information so a savvy person reading it could know how to help.
    Any ideas with the intent to help will be sincerely appreciated.

  • Flash Slide Show not Showing after Hosting Change

    Hey guys!
       I don't know if this question is for you or for the good folks at the Dreamweaver forum, but I thought I would try here first. I took over a website for a family member to help them update it from time to time (They were paying a company to do it). When I changed hosting from the companies hosting to my own personal GoDaddy hosting everything went right, except for 2 flash slide shows (Simple rotating images). They just apear as clear boxes now. You can see what I am talking about here: http://grangerfun.com/golf  and here  http://grangerfun.com/pizza . You will notice the empty large empty box on the right in both pages. When you right click on it the browser recognizes that it is flash. On the Piza site I tried taking out the original code and entering the flash object via Dreamweaver CS5, but that yeilded the same results (I only mention this because the code on that site will thus look a bit different). What am I missing here? If you need more info, please let me know! I apreaciate all of the help you guys have given me over the years! I hope to one day pay the favor back!

    You need to look at the Flash source file (.fla) to see what goes on inside.  If the files worked in the previous server, then whoever made the files should be able to determine where any supporting files need to be placed.  If that turns out to be the company that's been dumped you might or might not get help in finding that out.  The least you can try to do is to copy everything from the existing site into the same file/directory structure on the new server, which I would assume is what you have tried to do, so if it is possible to still check, see what else might be on the previous server that got missed.

  • Flash Slide Presentation Format vs Flash File

    I mistakenly made a fairly robust animation (15 layers about 5 min long with sound) in a Flash Slide Presentation document. The entire animation sits in slide number 1 (no other slides in this doucument).  I need to take this animation out of the Slide Presentation mode an put it into a regular flash file because other applications are reading the presentation holder slide and not reading the animation. Is there a way to get rid of the "Presentation (parent) holder slide or do I need to copy the whole thing to another document? If so how do I do that? Thanks in advance for your help,

    shift-click and drag across all the frames of your animation to select all the frames, then right click and click copy.  go to a new swf and right click on a frame and click paste.

  • Flash Slide  presentation and movieclip looping

    Hi,
    Im having a problem with the flash slide presentation. I have
    on the main timeline of one of my slides a movieclip. When i play
    the movie, the clip will loop endlessley. I would like the movie
    clip to play just once. In a regular flash movie this would not be
    a problem - i could put a stop action on the last frame of the
    movieclip. but, doing that in the context of a flash slide freezes
    the movieclip at the begining so it does not play at all..
    help!

    Ok, Ive managed to solve item 2. - if you set in the slide
    component inspector - "playHidden=false" then the slide animation
    will restart any time you reenter the slide. Im still lacking an
    understanding of how to stop a motion tween from repeating itself
    when it's contained within a movie clip as a motion tween timeline
    cannot recieve fram actions apparently...

  • Controlling volume in a Flash Slide Presentation

    Hello,
    I am working in Flash Slide Presentation mode. I have a
    started a sound file playing on the "master" slide and I want it to
    play throughout my entire presentation. However, on a couple of
    slides, I want to play some short voice clips. How can I "turn down
    the volume" a bit on the main sound file so as to hear the short
    voice clips? And then turn it back up when the voice clip ends?
    I understand basic Actionscript. Can anyone tell me the code
    or point me to a tutorial which I can use to accomplish this?
    Thanks in advance.

    use a sound instance to create your background sound.   and, how to control your flv sound depends on what you did to display your flv.

  • Controllin​g the position of a vertical/h​orizontal slide position

    I have an array of clusters storing  test results.
    Problem is, the slide stays at the top possition while the array gets populated, meaning the user can't see the last entry.
    I've tried many properties to control the slide to move to the last position, but can't seem to find anything that works.
    Anyone know of something ?

    What slide? Are you referring to the up/down control that specifies which index is at the top? That's not a slide - that's referred to as the "Index Display", so please use the correct term. To set which index value is at the top use the "Index Values" property of the control, as shown in the following code snippet:
    This sets index 3 to be the element at the top.

    First of all, it shouldn't be inside the <noscript> tag
    see

    for an explanation.
    Once you fix that, make sure you upload any dependent

    If it still doesn't work after you've taken those steps, then
    post a URL to the page in question. It's virtually impossible for

  • Flash slide show - feedback / help

    I designed an animated slide show that is part of a client's website: http://www.pizzamondobend.com/
    Client is complaining "running super choppy on my computer" and I see the issue as well - corrected once I hit the refresh button, but can anyone assist with something I may have overlooked either in design or activation with this Flash component?
    Thank you ahead of time!! ~Kate

    As Ned suggests, it does load fine and play OK with a good connection speed.
    I think what your client may be talking about however, is on a marginal connection, I do notice some slight pausing, choppiness on loading for the first time, once loaded and refreshed it runs fine. I also noticed that the pics that slide change speed, so they are either eased or there are multiple points in your tween line, they are not a smooth even pan. The pics that fade in and out look fine.
    If I were to make a suggestion I would suggest you increase your frame rate speed, 30 or 40 fps or more, but use the same time to tween images as they are currently, test out a few see if it helps... more frames in the same period of time will certainly make the images appear to move smoother. Also carefully look at your tweens to see if there are multple points within the line. If there are multiple points, maybe try one point at beginning and one at end only. If all else fails, you could try a preloader.

  • Embedding a flash slide show in a dreamweaver table
