I’m still quite new to actionscripting and wondered if anyone could give me some pointers over the next few hours.
I’ve done a few bits a actionscript, but I still feel that it han’t quite clicked in my brain. I keep needing to ask very basic questions on , syntax, method etc…
I’m trying to build a photo gallery that has a sort of elastic thumbnail menu. I could just rip someone else’s, but that isn’t going to help me develop.
What I’m trying to do today is make something similar to CommanderCool’s elastic menu. I want to replace the coloured boxes with thumbnails (15). I can then link each one to it’s full size image using loadmove.
well if you wanted to use Commander’s exact file (for learning purposes I assume, not your own =)) you could edit the orange clips and inside those clips put your thumbnails as buttons on each frame and on each frame put a stop()…
now when the clips duplicate, you could tell them to go to a certain frame, so that they would all be the same clip but on a different frame, the menu elastic coding would stay the same…
clear enough ? (mmh i dunt think so rereading my post=))
With limited knowledge, I’ve got that bit working and have gotten stuck on the next bit
Each box now moves to a new frame to show the correct thumbnail image.
Next Part…
I have prepared some images and named them photo1.jpg - photo10.jpg. But how do I tell each movie which photo to load. Everything I’ve tried so far has brought up photo1.jpg for every thumbnail.
ok a hardcore flasher would probably kill me but this might work (when you press the clip it loads the image of the corresponding frame, thus using currentframe function: )
on (press) {
_root.container.loadMovie("box"+_this._currentframe+".jpg");
}
