Need Help with Navigation Buttons

Hi,
What I'm seeking should be straightforward for those of you
who have mastered ActionScript. (I'm using Flash 8 Professional.)
I have 84 photographs that progressively show one complete
rotation of a photographed object (a model airplane). What I'm
envisioning are a pair of buttons. When the "forward" button is
pressed, the plane would rotate clockwise, and stop rotating when
the button is released. Same for the "reverse" button, but the
action would be counterclockwise. In that way, the viewer can
control exactly what angle to look at.
I assume I'd put each of the photographs on a Flash frame and
use ActionScript on the buttons to make Flash go through the frames
as described above.
Please let me know what the AS code would be, or perhaps
provide a link to someplace where it is explained.
Thanks!
Bill

kglad,
I (think) I followed your instructions. The airplane rotates
fine when the forward button is pressed, but nothing happens when
the backward button is pressed. I’ll describe exactly what I
did, in case I did something wrong.
1. I drew a small dot off stage, made it into a movieclip
object, and gave it the name apMC.
2. On the movieclip timeline, I created a keyframe for each
photo and dragged the photos from the library onto the keyframes. I
placed a stop() code on the first and last movieclip frames.
3. On the main timeline, I created three layers:
“Movieclip”: Onto the first frame of this layer
I copied/pasted the code that you provided.
“Button Labels.”
“Buttons”: I created the forward and backward
buttons, giving them the instance names you suggested.
Any thoughts as to why the backward button doesn’t
work? If you wish, I could send you the .fla file to examine. If
so, let me know where to send it.
Thanks!
Bill

you can't use the button itself if you want to maintain the
DOWN state after
release as button automatically resets itself once the mouse
lives the HIT zone.
Use movie clip instead and on press simply send it to a frame
where there
is DOWN state like image.

Need help with navigation within a spark list...

hey guys, so in my application when you click on a list item, it opens up an image, and along with the image a few buttons are created dynamically...
the image and the url/labels for the dynamic buttons is provided through an xml/xmlListCollection.
what i need help with is the url or more specifically when you click on one of these dynamic buttons it needs to navigate me to another part of an list or display a certain set of images that is not in my spark list...
please let me know if this makes no sence

i have attached a copy of the xml that i have right now to this post for reference...
any help will be greatly appretiated!!! i've been stuck on this problem for the last week and my project is due soon
again thank you in advance...

hey david... just nevermind my previous post... I was able to subclass a link button, so i now have two variables that get assigned to a link button,
one is "tabId" <-- contains the information on which tab to swtich to, and the second is, "changeTo"... this contans the label name which it needs to switch to
I'm just stuck on how to change my selected item in my tabNavigator/list
the code i have right now is
    private function customButtonPressed(event:Event):void{
        if(event.currentTarget.tabId == "troubleShooting"){
            for each(var item:Object in troubleShootProvider){

Need Help with Navigation for an Online Art Gallery

I am trying to create a web site for an online art gallery.
I am new to DW8 and I have been reading several books,
forums, etc trying to figure out how to build a simple and elegant
navigation system.
I have successfully built simple navigation using a frame set
as the index.html page. I have successfully built and incorporated
the art gallery using Photo Assist (Photo Assist is a DW8 extension
that creates photo albums using AJAX). The gallery.html page built
with Photo Assist has thumbnail browsing and a slideshow mechanism.
Photo Assist also uses CSS that I have been able to modify for my
personal tastes in terms of creating a simple and elegant user
interface for the gallery section of the web site.
My index.html frame set consists of navFrame.html and
mainDisplayFrame.html pages. I created a navigation button (using
Fireworks 8) that links the gallery.html as its source and targets
mainDisplayframe.html.
My plan was to just add about 5 or 6 more navigation buttons
and target the mainDisplayFrame.html from each navigation button to
display some static information.I think the site looks fairly good
except that the frame set requires scroll bars when browsed with
800 x 600 screen resolutions. I thought that I could just use
'layers' instead of a frame set, but there is not a "target"
mechanism when usings layers.
At the end of the day, I would prefer to just use one web
page for displaying the navigation and all of my other web pages
including the gallery.html page. I think I have the right idea but
I can't seem to get a good handle on a navigation system that is
better than a frame set.
My online art gallery that is under construction is:
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/tburak/
Photo Assist 1.0.1 DW extension URL is:
http://www.webassist.com/professional/products/productdetails.asp?PID=108
Please note that I am not a web designer that has deep
knowledge of HTML, CSS, javascript, server side stuff, etc. I do
know a little bit about C++ and Java programming and a little bit
about html tags, and also a little bit about how CSS works. Beyond
that, I am pretty much a point and click type of web page builder.
My real expertise is more or less on photographing and digitizing
the art.
I should mention that I eventually want to build in PayPal
eCommerce if at all possible, but I realize I might not have the
skills to do so.
Any help, suggestions and comments are very much
appreciated.

I need help with a button animation!

Hi,
I hope someone can help with a simple-looking problem which
nonetheless has me stumped!
I have a feeling that I've missed something obvious.
I've created a movie clip to act as a button (I've called it
"abs_button") and placed it on the stage.
My main movie has one frame.
Within the "abs_button" movie clip there are 5 layers.
Labels, actions, default button state, rollover state and rollout
state.
Technically, default button state, rollover state and rollout
state could be on the same layer as they don't overlap, but I've
given each animation its own layer for clarity.
FRAME 01.
Default button state is one frame with a graphic of the
button. Just a label at the start ("abs_up") and a "stop();" action
at the end.
FRAME 02 to 31.
Rollover state is a 30 frame animation. Label at start
("abs_over"), "stop()"; action at the end.
FRAME 32 to 62.
Rollout state is a 30 frame animation. Label at start
("abs_out"), "stop()"; action at the end.
All animations were achieved with tweens.
My initial "abs_button" code:
on (release) {
getURL("targetPage.htm", "_self");
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("abs_button", "abs_over");
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("abs_button", "abs_out");
As it stands, the animation jumps to frame 1 of "abs_out" on
rollout.
I need the "abs_over" animation to always play through to the
end, as the "abs_out" is "abs_over" in reverse (i.e. image grows
large on rollover and shrinks again on rollout.
I've tried for 2 days to solve this, but I clearly need help.
My experiments with variables simply didn't work.
I would be grateful if someone could tell me where I'm going
wrong!
Thanks,
Andy

use this:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("abs_over");
Since the code is attached directly to the movieclip, you
don't have to
identify the clip. A gotoAndPlay() function takes a frame
number or a
frame label name as its argument, never the name of the clip
that
contains the frame number or name.

Need help with encore buttons - highlights

Hi All
I am seeking help with Encode CS5. I have a project working fine except that I dont have highlights for buttons, at least I think thats what its called. So when the mouse or remote control navigates up/down toa button it changes colour.
In the properties of my button, the highlight option is greyed out.
How do I apply highlights ?
many thanks
Chris Anderson

Hi Bill
Thanks for your reply.
Here are 2 screen prints. One from encore the other from photoshop.
First time I have inserted images, and they seem a little small on this message - if you have any problems reading I could email to you.
I have highlighted the first button - which is called 'Highlights' - same issue with all the other buttons.
Do you have to use photoshop to add highlighting? or can you do this in encore - i dont have much experience with photoshop.
Not sure how to check 'Color Set' ? can you tell me how to get that for you - same for transparency for states? - I havent experienced them or changed them as I dont know how to
Yes it was duplicated - have left a message not to reply
Thanks again
Chris

Need help with Submit button

I'm needing a script that locks all of the fields once the submit button is pressed and it's emailed to someone else. Is that possible? Thanks in advance for your help.

Right now I'm using javascript to submit the form. I'm using
     this.mailDoc({

So I need to incorporate the script you gave me with this script that I'm already using?

I have a gfx which I have created 6 shapes and converted them into simple buttons. I have urls sat inside an xml file. How can I get the buttons to use the urls set from within the xml file?
Also how can I change the current external photo that is being loaded to load the url from a setting in the same xml file.
I hope you arnt as confused as I am right now.
I have packaged up the flash file which includeds the xml aswell.

Thanks All

Remove the code from all btns, as below paste it on main timeline
Also no need to load xml twice as dome in image container...
give an instance name to the outer container of btns - menumv
use following method to openURL, use same for all the btns..
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var myXML:XML;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("links.xml"));
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
function processXML(e:Event):void
myXML = new XML(e.target.data);
trace(myXML);
menumv.carbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openURL);
function openURL(e:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(myXML.car.url));

Need Help with Advanced Button Actions

I am a brand new Captivate 5 user and I have created a image button that I want to have a double action. When the user clicks on the image button, I want it to SHOW a new button AND SHOW another image. I used the Advanced Actions but it does not work when I preview project. Help!

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Did you assign the advanced action to the image button as Success action? And the new button + the image have to be on the same slide, but with the status Invisible. You can not show hidden objects that are sitting on another slide then the slide with the advanced action.
If you want to have more information about advanced actions, I do blog a lot about them. Here is the link to my blog:

Need help with navigation on E63

Hello
I am new to this forum and i got a question about the navigation for my nokia e63.
I bought the telephone and i saw it has navigation, but how do i access it? are there any maps installed?
Is it like a route66/ tomtom or what so ever?
What do i need to buy to get it working, i have serious no clue and i need some advice.
Thanks in advance

If you go to Applications, you should see an application called Maps. It is Nokia's own navigation software called Nokia Maps.
It is free to use it to show you where you are on the map. To use it for navigation with directions you will have to pay. Most Nokia phones come with a limited period trial navigation license. If you like it after the trial. you can purchase a license.
Have a look at the link below for Nokia's charging structure for navigation.

Hi, I need help with scrolling

Hello I am Kevin Jin, I am working a huge project acually not that big, but I need help with five things, i mihgt have more things in my mind but here it is
1. I need help with scrolling like where you have buttons for example or press on a navigation bar tab, then it goes to that specific pace of the page, for a one page website, for example some sites you press on contacts and gose down to the bottom of the page where the contacts place is located, not opening a new link.
2.Second also I need help with navigation bar, where it fallows the scroll as it gose down, like for example when it is html the object is fixed to the top, and when you scroll down it will fallow it it,
3.I need Parallex scrolling where you can have the timeline or animations run while you scroll in the meantime and have animation running all the time, for example the infographic site where the bees are fluying but still have seperate animations while you scroll
4.I am so sorry i have two more to go, i appreciate your help, I would also like to ask if like looping each animations sperately, not looping the whole timeline, can it be possible to loop an animation while you have all the interactivity witht he site like looping seperately all the time, without interfeering with all the other animation
5.I also are wondering if you can create multiple pages on one animate project, like multiple pages with html
I just moved on to edge animate from html, and html was also beirf learn for me and mostly i was doing design work, and i thought getting out of graphic river and moving on the theme forest would be a better idea for me, thank you guys so much of the help and add me on skype : kevin2019170 or add me on facebook ; [email protected] or graphicriver, www.graphicriver.net/user/phantomore I would appriciate if you just would like contact me through SNS since I have that in hany 24 hours long, but the thred will also do, thank you doo much foryour help,
P.S, I want also all the five things to work on one aimate project not interfeering with other ideas liek all five questions i had should run on one site,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP AND I APPRICIATE YOUR HELP!

1.
write this code in your button Click
$('html,body').animate({scrollTop: sym.$("Your Symbole Name Here").offset().top}, "slow"); // scroll to the top of that symbol name
Or :
$('html,body').animate({"scrollTop":"600px"}, 750); // Higher value means slower , scroll to top page
1 and 2 see this post http://forums.adobe.com/message/5531344#5531344
3 use edge commons plugin http://www.edgedocks.com/edgecommons
4.just put the animations behind eachother so when 1 is done, start with the animating the other symbol/div
5. i thin its best just to make for every page a new project or make the site in muse.

Hi there
I'm not sure how you wound up where you did. But you wound up in the Adobe Captivate forums. Please stand by as I move your thread to the Flash forums.

I need help importing navigation bars and rollover buttons from fireworks?

I need help importing navigation bars and rollover buttons from fireworks, drop down menus and rollover states won't work!
Thanks

In my experience, the code created by graphics apps is less than satisfactory. And image based menus are very awkward for several reasons.
#1 If you decide to change your menu later, you must go back to your graphics app and re-craft the whole thing. After 2-3 times of this, it gets old in a hurry.
#2 Image based menus cannot be "seen" by search engines, screen readers and language translators.
#3 CSS styled text menus are better for your site's visibility, accessibility and they are a snap to edit in Dreamweaver.
That said, if you're still married to image based menus, use Fireworks to create images only. Use Dreamweaver's Image Rollover Behaviors to create your rollover scripts.
