Hello,

On hugeinc (http://www.hugeinc.com/2001/huge_1000.html) I would like to know how the effect on the frontpage is made (? sliding mask) and also the one in the section Work > Party photos.

Thanks for your help,

Leon

the first bit is just a mask with a black alphad strip. The photo part is pretty simple but effevtive. There probably are 9 transparent buttons.(ou can see the seperations.) The images are all in one big movie clip. Every button has an action to movie the mc with easing to different coordinates. If you know how to move mcs with actionscript (and easing) you can easily do this.

Hello,

I tried to create the effect of the "Party Photos" - by using invisible buttons calling areas of a movie clip containing all the photos - with "setProperty" for x and y.

A. Do you think this is the correct way to do it ?

B. If A is correct, how can I use the easing effect in conjunction with "setProperty" for x and y ?

C. I do not understand how to handle x and y axis (...which corner of a rectangle is taken into account ?).
Can the starting point of x and y be changed ?

D. Simple question : how do you change the size of the scene
( = 'canvas size' in Fireworks ) ?

Thanks for you help,

Leon

PS: I tried to attach the file but it was to big...

on every button you need to find out where you want the movie to end up. Imagingine it is supposed to end up at x = 100 and y = 100, just put the foowing code -

movieclip._x -= (movieclip._x - 100)/10; // the "10" being the speed.
do the same for the _y.

I need a bit more help figuring this out.

Looks like it is a setProperties mc constrained to the x axis. How is the rgb value changed by location?

Thanks for any insight...learning...

Which bit are you talking about exactly?

Guess I better study my drag and setProperties commands. (Praystation effects)

The part that has me scratching my head the most is how the sliding bottom nav triangle is signaled to change its label and coloring in each of the sections. As we drag it, the threshold is met causing the label text and color to change...yikes!

How do you actionscript to make the mc turn color at the different locations?

(The constraining part is easy)

Have a look at this. The code is scattered around in a number of places but you should get the idea. (each coloured box, the MC of the knob and the button insode the MC).

You don't need buttons to make the distinction between which areas your mouse is at to move the navigation bar.

Something like the following would work.


onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
x = _root._xmouse;
mx = this._x;
if (x>0 && x<150) {
destx = 75;
} else if (x>150 && x<300) {
destx = 225;
} else if (x>300 && x<450) {
destx = 375;
} else if (x>450 && x<600) {
destx = 525;
}
this._x += (destx-this._x)/5;
}

Why do that?

How does the know (button) communicate to the color chips to tell them to change color.

Thanks
