I have two sound clips I want to add into the background of my existing movie.
The first clip is a short fade-in that should only play once; the second clip should begin right where the first one stops and loop.
I have all my layers made and graphic symbols in each layer.I want to create a timeline for my graphic to fade in and out. (Know how to do that)When I lock my main layer and work within my selected layer:1. drag the graphic onto the stage2. select a frameThis is where the problem comes in:My main layer (with my background) disappears and I'm left working on a white stage (not a problem I know how to make the stage a color)When I test the movie:I get white - no motion - and then the background flashes quickly. (I set my last frame at 100 so that it would loop slower).

View 3 RepliesI am currently working on a platformer, and I have a bunch of different tiles I use to form my maps with. These tiles are very different in the looks, and placed besides eachother, they give a very sharp change, which is not very visually appealing. I've been trying to fix this in the following way:
I have four layers, two for each block I'm fading. The first layer is where the actual tile, the graphic, is located. The second layer is the mask. In the mask layer, I have a gradient, which is the exact opposite of the other tiles mask layer (Mask layer 1 goes down, mask layer 2 goes up). However, I need to be able to alter those dynamically, place new gradients in the appropriate mask layer, and new tiles in the appropriate graphics layer.
I've been googling around for the last hour or so, attempting to find a way to define which layer a new MovieClip is placed on, but all I've found is setChildIndex, which, since one layer acts as a mask, I can't use. Is there any such function in Actionscript, or am I to make all combinations of tiles by hand?
What I have going on is basically a sideshow. I have six monsters/creatures separated into three parts under the top, middle and bottom layers. I have six arrows (already working buttons) to control previous and next functions (action script already working and on a loop). My end goal is to have the prev/next arrows control the appropriate top, middle, or bottom section making all the monsters/creatures interchangeable. ex:cat ears, monkey eyes, robot mouth ect...
Here is my problem: I don't know how to designate the top, middle, or bottom arrows to control the appropriate layer. In test mode all arrows are currently switching all layers.[code]...
In my Timeline I have 4 layers, each with labels on different keyframes. I have the following code, which obeys to my first layer:[code]How can I make AS3 to detect the specific "currentFrameLabel" of a named layer?
View 6 RepliesI'd like to be able to draw in a specific layer. I've tried using a mock MoviceClip (empty) that lies in it's specific layer like such:
Code:
mock_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("line_mc", depth);
line_mc.lineStyle(1,0x000000,100);
line_mc.moveTo(150,200);
line_mc.lineTo(300,200);
But it just does not work! Gaaaah, im getting crazy over this. Aren't we supposed to be able to draw into any MovieClip?
I'd like to play load/play one movie and show text at a specific times. In the Movie there is a scene where a board is shown. I'd like to show some text on the board when it appears. That's why I'd like to how to know when you reached a certain point.
Also about loading the video. I read there a several ways of loading a movie. What would be the best way in your opinion to load it in this situation.
1)Can this be done with the FLVPlayer component or through another way?
2) How to show a text at a specific time. Is there a function that I can use.
Don't know if the flash layer on the view stack contain only the compiled flash swf file
View 1 RepliesI am developing a flash web site using ACTIONSCRIPT 3. There is a menu of small icons that, when one of them is clicked, the program loads the correspondent SWF into a loader and then presents it in a "virtual screen" ( a rectangular area ) in the web page. The problem is that some of these child SWFs have an embedded background sound and I DO NOT KNOW how to mute them from the main SWF when a user decides to do so by clicking a "mute" button.
Each SWF embedded sound has its own layer in its timeline and is set as Sync: Event, Repeat:1.
I am trying to build a very simple Flash app in CS4. All I want to do is have JPGs overlayed over a sound layer in a series of scenes. I want a basic intro scene that ends w/ a table of contents from where you can click to view any scene. At the end of each scene is a frame where the user can replay the current scene, return to the TOC frame in scene 1 or proced to the next scene. I am having two SERIOUS problems.
1. For some reason my movie is NOT stopping at the "stop ();" action at the end of scene one. the action is on its own keyframe in the timeline, but when I "test movie" it just plays right past that to scene 2.
2. I obviously need multiple buttons on a scene to do different things on click. Does it really have to be as complicated as it seems to have multiple buttons all do different things on click? I keep getting told I have duplicate actions when I have two buttons on a page that do different things on click. I have named each button instance a unique name and written the gotoandplay click event using those unique instance names.
I have the loading audio file at frame one. However, I want to play the audio only at specific frame or frame lable. How do I do that? Below are my codes:
[Code]...
The above plays the sound as soon as the .swf file is loaded. But I want to play at certain point in time, say frame number or frame lable.
Is it possible to mute sound coming from a MC? as i have a music player inside a MC called musicBar thats on the stage, and just want to mute the sound of the music on a button press, but not any other sounds.What would be the code for this? i'm pretty bad with AS3 so i'd probably need the code pasted...Or i can attach the AS for the music player (the AS is located inside the musicBar MC) and someone call have a look at it? The player has volume control and mute, so the code for it could be used for another button,
View 3 RepliesI have a sound clip called "wing" in main time line. Inside main time line I have movie clip called "shell" inside that another movie clip "perform" inside that have another movie clip "engine" with a sound clip "panel"
how do i stop playing only the panel sound clip
I'm having an issue with setting the volume on my sounds.
I have a number of movieclips, that when clicked on, play a sound. I have created an Event Handler for the movieclip, that when it is clicked on, the sound plays, but the setVolume is higher.
I also have background music, set a bit lower than the rest. Here's the issue, when I click on the movieclip that makes it's specific sounds go higher, the background music goes higher also.
How do I set the volume of my movieclip without it changing the volume of the other sound/s?
Here's the code:
Quote:
gameMusic.setVolume(50);
gameMusic.start(0, 500);

I want gameMusic to stay at 50, but it goes to 300 when I click on shark. Why would that change it?
I have a button that is actually a Movie Clip (so I can animate it). I want this button to play a sound. (But this isn't a sound question.) If I have a list of 20 sounds, and 20 instances of this button mc, how can I make it know which sound is being called for? If it were a normal button, each instance would have its own load- or attach-movie command. But since they're MC's, the invisible button hit is always the same. Is there a way to make it look to the MC's instance name to get which sound to load?
View 14 RepliesI am having trouble creating a simple flash music metronome. Specifically, I can't figure out how to determine the position of a slider and use this position to determine how frequently to play a certain imported sound. I would also like to be able to display the tempo on the screen.

Creating the necessary code to make a mute/unmute button in ActionScript 2? I would like the "toggle" button to control a specific sound clip only -- not any other sound within my presentation. Basically I have an intro animation of about 20 seconds that has background music to it. I would like to add a mute toggle button that controls only this music clip and not any other sound found within my presentation. Is this possible? I've seen code for "globally" muting or stopping sounds. I need code for just a specific music clip (sound object?).

View 1 RepliesI was thinking that it may be possible to create a primitive, yet usable actionscript based text to speech system for Flash movies (One that is platform independent).
Is it possible to right a series of actionscript commands that would play a collection of certain sound files based on what word or words the user has entered?
For example:
If the user types "Red Pen"
Can actionscript tear apart those two words and play sound files "Arr", "ee", "Dee", "Pee", "ee" and "EN"?
If it is possible, and if someone could help me out on it, then I'll start figuring out what phonetic sounds I'll need to record and program, and see if I can't build a simple text to speech program for flash movies.I have no immediate commercial application for it, and I don't plan on one.So if I can pull it off it'll be free to everyone, source code and all. Of course, it may be in my voice, but it shouldn't be hard to take what I plan to do and use it as a template for anyone else's voice recordings.
I am doing some research on creating clcikTags. I read a few places that the clcikTag should be on the top layer. That has been fine, but now I want to loop it and I usually put my actions in the top layer. Will this cause a problem? Am I better off just putting my loop action on the last key frame of the clcikTag layer?
View 3 RepliesIm creating a program that is designed to allow the used to select 3 pictures (movie clips) and print them off on a single peace of paper.
The program works by allowing the user to select 3 graphics (the graphics are actually instructions for various exercises) and then moving the desired movieclips onto the stage. This all happens on a layer named "Content"
So far the program will allow the user to select the movieclips and will move them into place on the Content layer as well as move smaller versions of the pictures into a preview box the only thing it does not do is print. (the most important bit)
Is it possible to create multiple layer masks over a single layer using Actionscript3?Below is the flash effect I wanted to create with masks.First it starts from A and goes to B and C simultaneously.Then from B it goes to H and D simultaneously (the same applies to C).This is how the end result will look like.ps. I need my background to be transparent. I'm embedding it into a web page later.
View 2 RepliesI can't seem to go to a master edit file that is supposed to show both the body (layer 1) and wing (layer 2) of a flying bird animation. Is there a way to merge these two since I'm planning on shrinking it down and making a lot of birds?He merged the two layers at 14:24 of the video without even explaining how he went to this so called "Edit Master Movie Clip" that seems non-existent on Adobe Flash CS4.
View 1 RepliesI want to create a simple mask. A white oval on a second layer on top of a bottom layer that just has a word of type. I want the oval to travel from the upper left down to cover up the type. When I create the second layer, create the oval, and choose a distant frame for the "end" of the oval's positioning, my type in the first layer disappears as soon as I press F6 on that second layer. Why? Why is it nuking my first layer?
View 3 RepliesI have a container MovieClip called Drags where I can drag stamps (other MovieClips)--they are added to the Drags container via addChild. I have a second container MovieClip above that one (display order-wise) call Paint that contains a bmp, and some sprites used for adding a layer of paint.
My question is this: I need to be able to click on the Paint layer when I am above a draggable MovieClip and trigger the MouseEvent for the correct object to drag it around, but the item must always remain below the Paint layer.
I'm trying to do a little comic comedy type video in Flash. I've done an outline sketch with the pen tool of my first character, now I want to color it BUT I want to keep the colors and the outline sketch separated on two different layers. Is there a way I can select the path (outline) on layer A and then colorize it with the bucket tool on layer B? The problem I'm having is that every object I select it automatically jumps to that corresponding layer.
One reason why I want to do it this way is I still want to continue working freely on the outline sketch since it's not fully finished, so that I just can blend the colors out and keep working on the outline, at the same time I want to color it while I go just to see where it's going and to make sure that I'm not wasting my time unnecessarily with trying to do a outline just to find out that it won't work out at the end.
how to do a comic type animation, how to create the characters, how to make them move and talk? It can be a free or paid resource.
