Need a help with my Flash movie

Hi everyone, can someone try to resolve my flash movie problem. I am trying to get the sliding menu and the mouse over building to work properly.

For the sliding menu, the text doesn’t show up on little close box when the menu slides out. Additionally, when clicking on the box it suppose to close the sliding menu. But it doesn’t

The mouse over building (building 3), when clicked on, the sliding menu doesn’t slide out and stop. Instead, you have to hold it (down) for the menu to slide out. Moreover, the menu slides out and goes back out.

Can someone help me resove this problem or give me some hints. As long as I know how to resolve those few problem then I can finish my movie. Thanks.

The menu doesn’t scroll continuously. It is nothing but a sliding menu from point A - B, then B - A. Within the sliding menu, there is a little close button which the user can press to close the sliding menu. That in which take the menu back from point B to A.

I have attached a file with this message.

You can notice the close and x button doesn’t work. I have implemented the function to it but it just doesn’t close…

Additionally, when you click and hold the mouse button on the third building (triangular building), a window slides out but doesn’t stay in place. The user suppose to beable to click it once then a window slides out and stop.

Does anyone know how I can resolve these two problems? Thanks.

attach your fla :slight_smile:

Hey Kax, I have attached the fla file to the Webpage. Just click on the “E1 Movie” link. If you can just help or give me guidance on fixing those two problems then I’m home free.

Another problem in the movie in relation to the clickable third building. If you go within the movie clip for that building (triangular). Then go into the movie clip for “down or hit.” Once you’re there, you will notice a mask over the sliding window (info for triangular building). The problem there is that when I run the movie, hovering the mouse over the triangular building doesn’t work really well due to the mask over 1/4 portion of that building (slide in window, info). I’m not sure if you can resolve this problem. But give it a try anyways.

Basically, the whole movie revolves around windows sliding or fading in. Of course, there is some panoramic scenes but they are easy to take care.

Anyone willing to help or give it a try, go ahead…

Thanks Kax, anyone willing to help!!

ok … give me some minutes and i’ll check it out :slight_smile:

hey … the file is empty :-\

there’s just some text and shapes … the library is empty too

Hey Kax, that was the old E1.fla file. I have updated it to the current one. Just refresh your browser then click it again.

Thanks.

i guess this time it’s the current one … 4.9 mb :stuck_out_tongue: :wink:

ok …

change the actions in the close buttons to

on (press) {
	_parent.play();
}

as for the building … you shouldn’t place the sliding window in the over state. i’d create a new movie clip with the window and then play the animation when the button is pressed

i’m getting a bit busy now … i’m attaching your file [size=1]it’s exactly the same you’ve provided … but now it’s 32kb zipped ;)[/size] in case someone else is willing to help you while i finish my work :slight_smile:

Hey Kax, I have gotten the sliding menu working.

But I want to clearify on the building. Should I create a movie clip for each sliding window. building button, should I change it to a movie clip and apply the building movie clip on top of it or put the button inside a movie clip? Thanks.

i’d try something like this :slight_smile:

I havfe gotten the sliding windows to work for the buildings. I will more features to it. I can a huge difference between sliding a window using tween shape and tween motion are smoothless and transition. Using tween motion seems more realistic when sliding a window from point A to B. But neither the less, I have learned a new technique in moving an object from A to B.

Thanks Kax!

oh no … i rarely use tweens. i do everything through as =)

and i used the shape tween in the file because i didn’t wanted to convert the shape into a symbol :slight_smile:

Are there any tutorials on AS for creating sliding window effects?

run a search in the forums and you’ll a bunch of posts about the subject =)

and there are some easing tutorials by lostinbeta :slight_smile:
