How do you do a wipeout technique?? Much like BUBU has on his site. Can someone assist?
 
Hello!

I will explain how everything is done on my site: ...and you can adapt everything to your project:

I have these movies:
1) main_mc -which contains the menu and the lower part of the site;
2) wipe_mc -the black rectangles that slide from right to left ;
3) home_mc, profile_mc, portofolio_mc, services_mc, contact_mc -which are the movies for every section of the site.

How it works:
When you press a button the menu selection is set to a certain value and the wipe_mc is loaded. The wipe_mc takes this value and loads the apropriate movie clip.
For example: i press the profile button: the menu_selection is set to "profile_mc.swf", the wipe_mc is loaded, it reads the value of the menu_selection and loads the profile_mc.

Actions:
1)on the button:

on(release) {
if(_level0.menu_selection =="your_mc.swf")
{ stop();
}
else {
_level0.menu_selection="your_mc.swf";
loadMovieNum("wipe_mc.swf",2)}
}

2)on the last frame of the wipe_mc:

loadMovieNum(_level0.menu_selection,1);

3) on the first frame of the "your_mc" movieclip:

_level2._visible=false

...because "your_mc" is loaded on level1 and the wipe_mc is already loaded on level2.


If it isn't clear you can post your questions.
AND don't forget: Everything i have explained here is Oldnewbie's idea and he desirves some stars from you!!!!! Regards,

Dragos, I woudn't have sent the files without your permission! That's why I was asking you in that other thread.
But, if I have time, which I doubt very much, I could post another wipe .fla (I'll change the pattern!) and futher explain the process to Firehawk, maybe with his own files, if he sends me his main movie .fla. Regards,

I appreciate very much your position: asking me first for the files...i really do!

If Firehawk or anybodyelse is interested in this metter i can make other .flas and post a link to them...no problem with that...i will do it.

As a matter a fact i will do them anyway and post the links here...but a couple of hours latter because i really have work right now.

You are really great Oldnewbie!
Thanks a lot for everything. Regards,
Dragos.

Dragos.

And Congratulations on your website! liked it very much.

Hello Francois!!!
How are you?

You are talking about inOn my machine everything works fine...i have erased the temporary internet files and it wasn't in the cache of the computer when i tried it.

I have changed my host this week and i think that this can be the problem...what do you think?


ANOTHER THING Francois: Why when i right click on a movie the menu with zoom in ,zoom out, etc still appears even i disable the "Display menu" option from flash publish settings??? Regards,
Dragos.
 
Wasn't working for me last night... But everything seems fine this morning!
Don't see but 2 items (you can't get rid of) on the right-click menu.
One thing that isn't working is the 1st button on the portofolio movie. You can't get back pass number 2, if you select other numbers. Do you have a script on that button?

Tabbing through the contact form, still crashes IE 5.5. Don't know what the problem is with that!

Leaving for France next week... Till Xtmas! Regards,

The problem with the menu wasn't on this site...i made couple of movies for another site and the menu still appears on a right click of the mouse even if the "Display menu" option is disabled...
Check it on:
About the second button of the portofolio page from IN will check the code to see if something is wrong...and the tabbing problem is there too but i don't know what is wrong.

You are going on vacation in France or with your work? Regards,
Dragos.
 
Work! Editing! Co-production.

Add <PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false> to the object tag, and menu=false to the embed tag, in your html or asp, like in your &quot;/flash/head.asp&quot;. It will disable the menu. Regards,
