Hello happy customers!

I’m in the process of following up on all of your support related queries, but in the meantime please read my General File FAQ which might be the answer to some of your questions. This FAQ with be updated on a regular basis.

Please note that I do not have the capacity at the moment to take on any new projects or customisation requests. I will only be handling support related queries. Thank you.

dharmaone Question 1: You have to disable the smoothing script to use PNG ’s with alpha transparency. Question 2: There is no decompiled code, this is an original file.

wouduh To change the speed, change the value of 50 in the line of code below, the higher the value, the slower the rotation speed:

this.angle = this.angle+(_xmouse-centerX)/50;

Anyone know if I can make the images go to other scenes and frames within my flash movie? I need each picture to go to a different scene.

Or can this thing only do URL ’s? If so… I just wasted my money

“With the XML file you can change the number of images displayed, file path and file type of images, caption text and set target URL or movieclip for the onPress event.”

Isn’t that what this is saying? My XML gives no example of how to direct it to other places in my movie… a small example of how to do this would be highly praised.

Someone please help me.

vaisnava To make the menu goto a scene when you click on a button then go to your library > edit movieclip “img_mc” > select button symbol on layer “Bttn” and open Actions panel to see the code. Replace the following:

on (release) {
    getURL(link, "_blank");
}

with this to go to a scene:

on (release) {
      gotoAndPlay(link, 1);
}

Then in the XML put the scene name for “link”

Just to correct the code above, goto Scene doesn’t seem to work from a button within a movieclip so if anyone is using scenes, rather have all your content on the main timeline inside a movieclip, and use frame labels inside this movieclip for each content section. So your code with look like this on the button:

on (release) {
      _root.content_mc.gotoAndPlay(link);
}

“content_mc” is the name of the movieclip with your content and “link” is the frame label defined in the XML attribute “Link”

If you have purchased this file before this date, please download again from your downloads tab to get this latest update. First time buyers will get this updated version when they download after purchase.

What’s new?

• You can now set the speed of the rotation in the settings code
• You can now change the image scale in the settings code
• Now supports PNG images with transparency and with image smoothing, you can see an example of this in the FlashDen preview
• I’ve added code for those who have experienced a glitch with the menu when you click on a link, before it would keep spinning out of control, but now it will stop spinning when you click a URL . But once there is mouse movement in the flash again, the rotation will be enabled.
• Optimized code for better performance
• All images have been moved to a ‘content’ folder to keep things more organised
• I’ve removed the square border around the image, most of you didn’t seem to use it so it’s been taken out
• I’ve also added improved comments in the ActionScript & have updated the help file

Hi. I really like this but, I’ve tried several times to add “stop” to the rollOver behavior but I can’t get it to work. What needs to be added here so that the rollOver just makes the carousel stop in place and rollOut starts is up again?

Thanks a lot for your help.

bttn.onRollOver = function() {

_parent.hover.txt.text = info;
_parent.hover.txt._width = _parent.hover.txt.textWidth+10;
_parent.hover.bg._width = _parent.hover.txt._width+10;
_parent.hover._visible = true;

Anyone know if I can make the images go to other scene or frames within my flash movie? I need each picture to go to a different scene or frame:

I’m having similar issues but can’t figure it out – am a newby to Flash so you help would be great!

I have replaced code as suggested above with: // BUTTON RELEASE FUNCTION bttn.onRelease = function() { on (release) { _root.content_mc.gotoAndPlay(link) } };

but I keep getting:

Mouse events are only permitted for buton instances…

(xml) link=”what goes here!!”

Thanks

Don’t mind me – penny just dropped…

All working like I wanted it to – although now I’m trying to figure out how to apply the preloder to ‘content_mc’ so that it synchronises with the carousel buttons/images

I can make it work properly as an individual file without the carousel – has anyone done this and would like to share??

Thanks in advance

Hi DigitalScience,

Can this menu be easily implemented in your supernova website, in replacement of team section ? I’m looking for that precise kind of presentation.

Best.

Does anyone knows how to launch a movieclip (swf) from an imagem of the menu.

I’ve version 1.

Hi, I purchased your file a while back and I have been trying to modify it so that it allows smoothing for the thumbnail and big picture, so far without success. I need to do this because I need to rotate the images so that they fit my layout.

How can I do this?

Ok, I need to rotate the “MAIN_XML_SCREEN” movieclip so that everything has a slight inclination to fit my layout. When the external images are loaded, they are distorted since smoothing is not applied by default to loaded images. (Try it yourself and you’ll see what I mean)

I looked around and found that you need to use forceSmoothing = true; in order to smooth loaded images. I looked at your code but I don’t know where to include forceSmoothing = true in order to stop the thumbnails from being distorted.

Thanks,

You are absolutely right, I was posting in the wrong file. SO very sorry for wasting your time.

can I use this as an photo/image viewer? instead of a hyperlink manager? I am just hoping to load it with images and when pressed they expand into full view… is this possible?

Thanks
