Book effect from www.iparigrafika.hu

[diggz]

Hi All,

I have seen a few threads on here regarding the page turning effect in flash.

If you click here (http://www.iparigrafika.hu/pageflip/) you will find the new version 2 of the page turner file - and pretty damn good it is too.

I was wondering if any had figured out either if the following how to set up bookmark tabs as an index. ie:buttons that can be seen at all times and each tab becomes part of the page flip when it's specific page is turning?

or a way of controlling a movie clip on the main timeline from within one of the pages for example if the book is turned to page 3-4 then it tells the movie clip on the timeline to go to a certain frame?

Anyone know if and hoe this could be done? I've been trying to work it out but to no avail!

Look forward to hearing any comments or suggestions.

Nice of you to give the link to Pixelwit's pageflip-effect in the movies-section...but the iparigrafika-effect is quit a bit more advanced then Pixelwit's effect...

Nothing bad about Pixelwit's effect or anything, I thinking it's a great effect and I seriously doubt if I could do it like he did. I'm just saying that in Pixelwit's example not all of the aspects of the iparigrafika-effect are covered...

NOTE: The fla of Pixelwit's effect is more then worth looking in to...

Hello ppl!

I have a simple but hard question for me at least:

How do you add a page in pageflip? I know...it's a shame
but I'm new in this kind of flash programing.
What do you need to do? I know that it's all writen inside
but I can't understand what the hell he's talking about :D.

So please help me and regards from Slovenia

Wow this thread is old, I believe that in the iparigrafika pageflip you can add a page by creating a new movieclip in the library and adding it to an Array somewhere in the FLA..

However, I'm currently working on a pageflip component for Flex myself, you can see a demo here:

this is allmost the same thing. Only difference is that you can't move the page in any direction you want (if you clik on it in the center).

[Ruben]

Haha, well that's really the point, it is the same, it only works better*, and it's a component for Flex (not Flash, different software, though both generate .swf files), which makes a major difference..

Another really big difference is that my component is much easier to customize, which works in favor of people that have no expert-knowledge of the software, such as yourself (as you pointed out in your previous post)..

* Except for the side-flip thing, yes.

U're right about me beeing a lamer :D.
Is it free or payable or not for other's at all ;D?
In other words what do I have to do to get it? heh

Hahaha, no man, not a lamer, it just sometimes gets on my nerves slightly when people show little appreciation for months of work..

And regarding what you'll have to do, just be patient, I was actually intending to release the source-code this week, but some things have come up and I've been incredibly busy..

If you want to be sure not to miss out then subscribe to the rss feed of my blog (http://www.rubenswieringa.com/blog), I'll make a post there when I release the source..

:rolleyes: - Ruben

[kroket]

Don't get me wrong I really do appreciate your work as I see in my case where I'm trying to get this pageflip to work for few weeks now and I've try if for a several time in past year :D. It's just that I'm really a new in flash programing and it's all new for me.

So U get my support. Thnx for everything

Cool. Regarding the iparigrafika pageflip, here's what you need to at the least:

- create a movieclip holding your graphics in the FLA library
- give it a linkage identifier (somewhere in the right-click menu under "properties"
- add the linkage identifier name to some array in the array, you should be able to find it somewhere..

adding pages: ------------------------------------------------------------

you have template pages in the library:
page_templateLEFT
page_templateRIGHT

If you want a new page, DUPLICATE on of the templates (depending on what side your page will be).
Edit the content of the layer "content".
Export your new page (Library/linkage), and don't forget to uncheck "Export in first frame",
then copy an instance to the exported items! (Main timeline/Layer: exported/ frame 4)
The last step, is to change the page data (layer actions/frame5/from line26):

add a new line:
addPage("yourPagesExportName"); or
addPage("yourPagesExportName",true); if you want to enable tearing of it!

Always insert pages in pair!!!


This is writen in help section. I've managed to do everything. The only thing wich is blocking me is ''...then copy an instance to the exported items! (Main timeline/Layer: exported/ frame 4)...''
I can't figure it out what he mean's with the word ''instance'' :S.
If I could figure this out I think that it should be working.

A symbol is an item in the FLA library, an instance is what you get when you place the symbol on the FLA stage..
So what you have to do is select frame 4 on the layer called "exported" and drag your new page movieclip from the library to the stage..

Let me know whether that solves your problem..

I cant get the version //pageflip version 2.13 (200504272050) of this great application to work with the TESTING SIMULATING DOWNLOAD otherwise its ok !

should I just ignore this. It does give me cause for concern. Its roots look to be in the mouselistener and resetting which happens but im really not sure what is stopping the page to be draggable.

Also I noticed the goto a specific page number is buggy depending on the speed at which that happens takes place, this is configurable and thus the following setting messed things up, set it to 2 or greater and its fine, that might help some people.

gs = 1; //goto page flip speed

Im trying to learn how to get the current page number however the page was turned ? any takers on that one ?
thanks
