I have created a bouncing logo (similar to a screensaver). The MC loops and I have added some motion trail using dupe mc's, however when the main MC loops back to the start, the motion trail seems to go out of synch and fall behind in its positioning. I have attached the FLA to show you what I mean and you can see the AS that I have used.

View 1 RepliesI've been experimenting with the following tutorial (scroll down to "Eye Candy 1: Trails"):[url]...........I can get it to work like his example, but I would like to apply it to my game which works a bit differently. Rather than having a player-controlled mc move around on the stage, I place the player's character in the center of the stage and have their actions control the level around them (tl;dr the player doesn't move, but the level does).My approach was to determine the location inside of "level" that matched up with center stage where the "hero" is located. Then, rather than place the trail effect on _root, I would place it at this location inside of the level.See below for my code:
Code:
_root.level.attachMovie("trail_sprite", "trail_mc", 8000);
trailbitmap = new flash.display.BitmapData(1000, 800, true, 0x000000);
_root.level.createEmptyMovieClip("trail", 1);[code]..........

View 10 RepliesI have a video that consists of an imported FLV to thetimeline so I could put a new background behind the alpha-channeledbackground of the movie and put other thingsin front of it. When Iexport as SWF it plays just great. However, the download is akiller over DSL speed connection, so I thought I'd try making thefinished product into an FLV. To do that I have to export as QTmovie first, then from QT Pro export to FLV. It loads much quicker,however the movie's video and audio get out of synch by the firstminute (it's 4 1/2 minutes long), and by the end it looks terrible.

View 1 RepliesI have 2 movieClips loading images using XML files.
I need to set the position on this movieclips from the parent depending on their width.
The problem is that the parent have to wait that both children have loaded the images before to proceed.
I have a to movies on the timeline. And they are playing at different speeds depending on the processor available on the computer, so the get out of synch with each other, is there a way to lock the rate at which the movie symbols animate so that they never get out of synch? Wish I was able to be mare articulate, not exactly sure how to ask the question
View 3 RepliesI'm working in Flash CS3. My animation is about a minute long, with a single audio track that plays from beginning to end. The sound quality is noticably better when I set the synching to Event, but unless I set it to Stream the sound falls behind the animation. Is there any way to maintain proper synchronization with the Event setting? Also: will the lag be consistent on different machines and players? I thought about adjusting the timing of the animation so that it matches the Event-set sound in playback, but that's such a clunky a solution it seems likely to cause other problems.
View 2 RepliesMy movie is five about minutes long with audio and an offscreen timeline move clip containing action script to control other movie clips or play the root directory. After about a minute or so, movie clips get out-of-synch with the audio, apparently its getting bogged down. My swf file doesn't seem that big, about 2.2MB and my move clips aren't that complex, although up to three levels deep.
View 3 RepliesI have swfs for every letter of the alphabet containing a story and a song. And one swf as a loader for each letter as requested from a menu. These are then published into html.
Every file is working as normal individually and when loaded in the loader swf.
But when viewed in a browser the audio karaoke for the letter I is out of synch. and only the letter I. this happens locally and online.
The I.swf file individually and when opened in loader swf work fine. Its only happening when viewed with a browser (IE and Firefox)
all the audio are mp3 loaded from external files. But Ie also tried placing the audio in the swf timeline but the same problem occurred.
A co-worker thought it might be the file size or bit-rate of the mp3 but thats not the case because all the audio files are the same compression and bitrate The file size of the audio or the swf are not the largest in the collection either. So this rules out swf/mp3 file size and or mp3 settings.[FONT="] Im really stumped by this, because every other letter works fine, and as far as I can see they are all the same settings.
I have a 5 minute flash movie that has great sound synchronization with the motion when I export as a SWF. However, when I export as a Quicktime file (.mov), sometimes the sound is ahead of the image. Is there a setting I can tweak during Export to remedy this? (so far I have tried to save the Video as "H.264" as well as "Animation". And for sound I have had no luck with the setting of "None" or "Apple Lossless."

View 2 RepliesI have been searching far and wide for a solution on how to offer slow motion and fast motion options for users that upload video to my webstie. There is an implementation on Google Video that has exactly what I am looking for: the option to speed up or slow down the video and continue to play the audio. The screenshot is below. I know that Flowplayer has an option to slow down or speed up video when implemented with Wowza server. However, when using that approach, there is no sound.
I have also seen the option from Enounce called MySpeed that allows video to be slowed or quickened, but this requires a browser plugin which is too much of a barrier for our users. How does Google do it? How can you add an option to a flash player to slow down or speed up video?Here is a screen shot. You can see the option to change the speed of the video to 1.5x. It also has options to go to 0.5x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, 2.0x, 2.5x, and 3.0x.
What I want to know is; can I change the colour of the trail too?And is it possible to use something other than text as a trail?
View 2 RepliesI would like to create a polygon that changes its shape (circle, trapezium, square, rectangle, triangle) based on specific buttons that the user clicks? An existing shape has to be able to morph into all the others. For instance, the trapezium has to morph to a square, circle, rectangle or triangle.
If I were to create each transition manually, I would end up with 5x4=20 scenes. Is there a way that I can just assign each shape to its own frame, and deploy actionscript to set in motion the transitions from one frame to the 4 other possible frames? I am very grateful to anyone to just point me in the right direction,
How to make trail behind movie clip. I suppose it should be some kind of duplicate mc function but dont know how to write it. For example there is rectangle (mc) on screen when I click on it should move to the left but it should leave copies of itself behind it with different opacity, closer copies should be more visible and they all should fade out (I mean trail not main rectangle), it should look like circular animation which are often used in some flash video players where rectangles are rotating around center point but they aren't all same opacity.

I'm trying to create something with a flip effect tutorial from tutplus - [URL] However my flip area is much bigger than the tutorial, it's 900px wide. Everything works fine except that it leaves a trail when the width is that big. You'll see it when you flip it a few times. Someone else posted the same problem in the comments from last year, but no one replied. Does anyone know a solution to this?
Edit: Here is a screen shot: [URL] The front is purple and the back is white. As you can see it left a bit of the purple as the page flipped to white. I couldn't get a screen shot of it turning, but it's even more obvious as the page is actually flipping because the width become narrow which reveals a whole lot more that's left behind on the page.

I'm using narrator clips (imported mp3 files) that I place every so often, set to Stream (as opposed to Event). This works fine, as usual.That is, UNTIL I use a "Next" or "Back" button I've implemented to go to the next section of the program. I'm using a simple gotoAndPlay("Slide"+myCurrentSlide); where "Slide" is the first part of the frame label, and myCurrentSlide is a number that increments as the movie progresses.
When the user clicks the Next button, the flash movie successfully moves ahead to the proper frame on the timeline, but the audio is out of synch, (comes in half way through a sentence, even though the frame label is placed in between mp3 files on the timeline.
