SnakeMenu::Custom Menu in Actionscript 3

SnakeMenu::Custom Menu in Actionscript 3

July 1, 2010 |  by tem  |  actionscript 3.0  |  No Comments

Here’s a small menu in actionScript 3.0 that I often use in many web developments:
it has an over animation and it is easy to customize and fits the main situations.
Usuful options are:

  • voices generated by an array of strings
  • 2 types of align: x and y
  • custom click callBack function
  • color customization
  • state update -> setting the actual_section property

TcKnob::ActionScript3.0 Knob

TcKnob::ActionScript3.0 Knob

June 18, 2010 |  by tem  |  actionscript 3.0  |  2 Comments

I’ve been working for a while on a knob that should be useful in many projects: from scollers to value selectors.
The script is stand alone and doesn’t require any external library: I use my own tween engine (based on robert penner’s equations) and a colorMatrix class based on senocular’s examples.

The class is based on two different works: the knob by Lee Brimelow http://www.gotoandlearn.com/ and from the knob ui by Giovambattista Fazioli http://www.undolog.com/

The base class is TcKnob.as a 100% ActionScript drawn component.
This class is extended by two other classes: TcMovieKnob.as and TcThrowKnob.as
TcMovieKnob.as let you define the knob graphics and pass them to the class constructor (the background is always drawn by actionscript)
TcThrowKnob.as a knob that you can throw! (drawn by actionscript)

I’ve built a small ActionScript 3.0 text engine to handle char by char animations.
It is based on template animation files and can be implemented with custom patterns.

here a quick demo: when the animation ends click the stage to restart it with the next pattern.

Here’s a small ActionScript 3.0 sample on how to use a Loader to load and unload an image.
The script shows a loading bar and a loading text updated in the ProgressEvent handler.
