pause mouse on, continue movie mouse off, etc.

I have to take over a Flash... It is at www.rmeinc.com. Done in Macromedia.

The rotating pictures in the center below the header is a flash file. I need to do it in KM (KoolMoves). If I import its swf, it is all messed up.

I need to make it.

It steps through 7 frames, 2 sec. each

If the mouse is over any item on the right, the stepping pauses and is clickable. Same if the mouse is over the picture showing.

When the mouse moves off the flash, it resumes stepping

As the mouse moves up or down, the frame changes to the frame the mouse is over and pauses as long as the mouse is there. Move the mouse and it resumes stepping.

I don't seem able to, or understand how, to continue playing if the mouse is moved off the flash and create the other actions you will see there. No tweens. Only seven key frames.

I started a KM flash as a test. I have not been able to 'duplicate' the way it works. The original flash is a fla file. I have not found a fla to fun converter, if this would help me.

Is there a 'how to' make this kind of action flash using KM ?

Or someone available to help a little ?

to start or you could do it with frames.

I viewed the link, similar. Next question how ? Is there a 'sourse code' / 'example' .fun I could download and could use as a starting point to look at ?

go here and look under menus and nav and it called smenu.

here is another one with frames

[Chris_Seahorn]

Another one for the collection. You can halt any clip in place using actionscript (where nameofclip is the name of your movieclip)

on(rollOver){
_root.nameofclip.stop();
}
on(rollOut){
_root.nameofclip.play();
}

**NOTE** This assumes the clip timeline has more than one frame and is not using a motion script from the GUI. GUI motionscripts are a completely different beast. This is handy for tweeners

This is handy for tweeners

and animators too (hint hint to "MyBestLaidPlans")....lol

[blanius]

Basically make your image thing step through it's frames to start and each button on the right just does

on(rollOver){
_root.nameofclip.gotoAndStop("frame of this product");//use the named frame that you want to go to
}
on(rollOut){
_root.nameofclip.gotoAndPlay(_root.nameofclip._cur rentframe);
}

something like that anyway.

tmoore935 - Thank you for the .fun file. I found it interesting and very informative/useful. I find the suggestion from Chris_Seahorn an interesting idea too. Thanks for the start. I'll post once I've done time on my own project.

I have a button, btn9, on key 2 frame. I rename it and the buttons on the other 7 key frames get renamed to the same name. How to 'separate' these to have but9 on key frame 2, button btnXX on key 3 frame, etc. ?

I finished my first KoolMoves project. View it at http://www.rmeinc.com. Generally speaking, all went pretty well.

looks nice!

lol! bluRay in stores :] and even reWritable ;] lol

flash is quite nice, but i dont like whole page's layout. its a bit messy.

[rdfreedman]

tmoore935, thanks for the comment, and start.

Interesting, and mostly painless, learning curve. Like most applications, a lot of i's to dot and t's to cross to learn the got-u's and not get caught by them too often..

ant_Z... owners idea, keeps saying 'add this', then, 'Too busy' - Sooooo, roll back to less, again. Loop?

Might surprise you to know blue ray rewritable are in high demand. There are two new proffesional Sony cameras that use them to record to.

[ant_Z]

And it might suprise you - all i know about BluRay is, that BR recorders use blue laser. And crystals of azotan galenowy (thats this substance called in polish) used to produce LaserLEDs used in recorders are one of the most expensive substancies in the whole world. 1/2 kg of it cost more than whole budget of Poland (sic!, thats data from two years ago), and only 2 labs in the world can produce them. One is in Japan. And the second one WAS in Poland. Polish scients didnt get funds from our government and the laboratory was shut down. At the most important moment of research, some people stole 2 computers and data about crystals, but not exactly THIS data.

So - if u would like to know, or even if u wouldnt - Polish scientist and engineers are so good as Polish programmers :]

and... can u tell me whats the price of these cameras?

and what about bluRay... it wont be such popular as DVD or CD, because from the beginning it was designed for HDTV, not to use as data archive for computers.
