ActionScript 2.0 :: [CS4] Controlling And Reversing Animation On The BG
Jul 2, 2011
I'm trying to do the following:
1. Have a permanent animation on the background, running over and over again.
2. My buttons should control that animation. What I want to do is to reverse the animation (going backwards on the timelime) when the user press the button, no matter in which frame the animation is.
3. Finally, when the animation is "gone", the buttons must point to an specific label.
I'm not sure how to to the reverse motion thing and if that's possible usings AS2. BTW, I'm attaching the file (just 8Kb) to show the idea, the real animation in the background is gonna be a movie clip but it's heavy to upload and I don't believe anyone will download it.

I have an mc which when rollOver plays an animation (works like a button), on rollOut I want the animation to play in reverse... I have seen it done before using a fucntion, but can't seem to get it to work... If I just reverse all the frames and get it to play that on rollOut it doesn't work properly...

I have a 23 frame animation that is moved forward or back on a mouse over. The problem is trying to reverse it. It is ok until it gets to frame 1 then it just stops. I need to get it to jump to frame 23 and to start reversing aagain.
function reverseIt(e:MouseEvent):void{
rewind = true;
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,revFrame);

I am trying to make a banner where two colored squares roll across the screen. The first blue square does just fine, however when trying the same thing with a green square (in a different layer) it does ok the first half of the tween, but reverses direction in the second half (where I placed a keyframe)- even though I rotated the green square the same way as the first half.

*trouble with gotoandplay and roll out functions* basically i have an after effects movieclip (followed the after effects button tutorial on this site) that i have made into a button. it works ok on rollover and rollout i use tweener which works a treat and when i click it goes to another frame and plays a small sequence of smoke exploding.
problem: its a look problem really. when i rollout the smoke click sequence tweens back to frame 0 as per my rollout instructions IS there a way for me to have the click smoke sequence play all the way through before going back to frame 0 on my rollout ? i see tweener has a oncomplete statment is that of anyuse? ive tried a few thigns but it always reverts to the rollout and reverses the footage.

Was just wondering if its possible to somehow have some AS code, to play like 1-20 frames backwards, instead of copying it to like 21-40 and reversing it manually in the timeline

Have been struggeling for days now , I have in the _root a function called elastic and then on the stage a movieclip containing 9 smaller clips called t1 --> t9, these movieclips are each at a different y-axis and when this function is called they appear (slide) in, but now I want to slide in t1-->t4 at _x = 200 and t6-->t9 at _x=400, how can i do this within this function/code?
Code:
mc = ["t1", "t2", "t3", "t4", "t5", "t6", "t7", "t8", "t9"];
var i = 0;
while (i < mc.length)

I have this project with a movie clip I'll call MyMovie. The movie is a simple tween. I also have a set of button controllers that will start, pause and rewind the movie when clicking on the icons. These icons are movie clips with instance names of goButton, pauseButton, etc. I have no problem controlling the MyMovie animation with the icons until I convert the normal tween to action script. I follow the normal procedure of coping the Motion to Actionscript 3, removing the tween, and making the animation play with the actionscript. But I can't figure out how to make the buttons control MyMovie. It looks like the instance of MyMovie isn't behaving like a tweened movie.
[code]...
Works fine with the action is tweened but when the motion is converted to actionscript it has no effect. Making MyMovie a child seems to have no effect. It seems like once the AnimatorFactory scripts start running the array's you can't stop them. I must be missing something simple.

[URL]i'm working with some carousel movement and am trying to figure out how to add a level of interactivity beyond simply reacting to the _xmouse position.when pressing prev or next i want to go into a mode where the objects cycle through positions on the ellipse.i was thinking the fuse kit would be a good solution which is what i tried here:[URL]

I am trying to make a movie in flash, and each character is its own movie clip symbol. I also have a variable for each character, to control the current animation running. I have one character in the movie, for now, and that movie clip symbol is called mann. It is just a simple draw, I am just testing this method out. Now, the first frame of the movie, has this action:
--
mann1_anim = 1;
--
That is the first time I use that variable, so then it will be created, right? anyway, then, the first frame of the main movie clip symbol has this action:
--
mann.stop();
while (mann1_anim == 1) { }
mann.gotoAndPlay(mann1_anim);
--
On that first frame, my man character only stands, so this action should do so that while the mann1_anim variable is 1, the man should just stand there, right?
Then, the 9th frame of the MOVIE, has this action:
--
mann1_anim = 2;
--
Then something should happened in the action of the first frame of the main movie clip symbol, because mann1_anim is no longer 1. Then the mann movie clip should start and play at frame 2, right? From frame 9 of the MOVIE to frame 22, I have created a motion tween for the main symbol. from right of the screen to the left. Then, in the 2nd frame of the main MovieClip to the 3th frame, is the "walk to the left" animation.
At the 3rd frame of the MovieClip, I have this action:
--
while (mann1_anim == 2) {
mann.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
mann.gotoandplay(mann1_anim);
--
This should loop the walk to the left animation to frame 22 of the movie, cause in frame 22 of the movie, when the tween animation stops, is this action:
--
mann1_anim = 1;
--
So then, when the tween animation stops, the mann symbol should return to the stand animation (frame 1). Well, that was a lot of explenation, and here is the problem. When I test the movie, the main runs its complete animation all the time! I have uploaded my work file(fla) here [URL].

my final project has a prev, next,stop, play, pause buttons and all of these affect the animations and voice overs. I suggested to make this on video and bring it into flash using a video player, but they want it to be into a single SWF to put on their website.

I'm new to OOP and AS3. I'm doing my company website. When a mouse event sends you to my services page I have 4 separate blocks of text that fade in. So far I have the first 2 texts blocks fading in at the same time. I want to stagger the timing so the second block of text starts its fade in a fraction of a second later, and so on with the remaining text blocks. Below is the code I've used to fade them in at the same time.
//services text fade in
var servicesText1Tween:Tween = new Tween(servicesText1, "y", Regular.easeOut, 148.9, 140.9, 1, true);
var servicesText1Fade:Tween = new Tween(servicesText1,"alpha",Regular.easeIn,0,1,2,t rue);
var servicesText2Tween:Tween = new Tween(servicesText2, "y", Regular.easeOut, 244.7, 236.7, 1, true);
var servicesText2Fade:Tween = new Tween(servicesText2,"alpha",Regular.easeIn,0,1,2,t rue);

I'm having problems getting my player to switch directions and just bounces off of the walls of the stage. I tried reversing the rate but it still shoots off into the distance and this is what I have now, it just stops the guy at the edge and nothing more. Does anyone know how I can properly make him bounce?

I seem to be having trouble reversing the contents of an array
this is the code:
Code:
stop();
// Attributes arrays

i've tried changing the 'for' loops for both the 'n' and 'i' variables to decrement them and also tried idnum.reverse(); but i can;t get it to work.
It's a news page so i'm basically trying to get the newest story(which is attached to the highest id number in the databse) to post first and then post the rest in descending order.

I am trying to have a small simple animation. This animation needs to have a roll over listener. This roll over listener must begin a downward motion for this movie clip. And then another listener must be a click or rollout that will make the clip reverse and begin an upward motion at any point that it is executed. This is the code I got so far, but the only thing that seems to work is the rollover downward motion. I cannot seem to get the upward reversing motion to execute.
stop();
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, playy);
function playy(e:MouseEvent):void

I make a button with some animated effects. On main work area I select object and press F8 to convert button with the name of (button1). The Up as it is which I make: w=70, h=50. Press F6 and same button on Over, here I again select object and press F8 and convert to Movie Clip. Here I insert 10 frames, one by one the button extend width and height. On 10th frame the button size 110x90 width and height. To animate and stop the button I put "stop" action on frame 10.I want that if the user's mouse over on button than the 10 frames play as I mentioned above but if the user don't want to click on (button1) than all of these 10 frames play reverse or add more frames and button will go to their original size and place. Is there any script bcuz I am new and don't know about action scripts.

I have a function set up to determine the speed of the mouse, if the mouse is moved to the left it is returned as a variable in a negative number. I also have a function to make a movie clip scroll along, at the moment if you set the speed to 3 it will move to the left. So a positive number will move the movieclip to the left So you can see my predicament because the numbers are opposite, is there way of reversing one of them?
Here it is in short

Ill post what I have, in the meantime I'll still keep trying to tweek the code.

I have just learned how to create the wonderful "drawing" effect in flash by reversing frames. However, when I publish my work (either as .swf or as an animated .gif) the drawing draws, and then the completed graphic disappears.
I have the settings set so that it will not loop since I do not want it to "draw" more than once. So what do I do so that when the animation is done drawing, it doesn't disappear?

I press a button and have an object (a movie clip) move onto the stage - that works ok.When that movie clip gets to a certain spot, I want it to stop - that works ok.I want to be able to press the button again and have it leave the stage - that works ok.Then if I press the button again, it will come back on the stage again - that works ok.when it stops on the stage, I want a part of it to animate just once. I've been trying to do this by putting a second movie clip inside of the first, but it won't work.

ok lets say you create a button that when held down play an animation of 20 frames if realsed it goes to frame one and stops if held down it plays out this animation. for the topic lets say you have a fire animation and you want the fire to apear and if the user hold its down the animation reaches the end of the time line and loops back and plays the last 5 frames of the animation and as soon as it is let go it goes to and stops at frame one. Well i know how to make a button that when held down plays out an animation. And i know how to say when released goes to and stops at frame one. What i dont know how to do is to loop the fire at the last 5 or 6 frames so the user can hold it down all day long and play out that animation.
