View 2 RepliesI have a fairly complex animation movie clip within my main timeline in a Flash file. When you click a button, it plays the movie clip, then goes back out to the main timeline. The first time the movie clip runs, it plays choppy and slow, but if I play it two or more times, it plays correctly (smoothly). Is there some actionscript I need to preload the movie clip, or some other solution to the first-run slowness?
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to change the seconds counter displayed below the Flash CS3 timeline to something more detailed/comprehensive? I'm doing some work for some guys that need very specifically lengthed scenes to fit in predertmined gaps in a project they're working with and when I get notes for a scene to be like 04:16 seconds long it's a little hard to translate that to the one decimal point that Flash provides...I need a reading more like the Premiere timeline. I looked in the preferences and didn't see anything but I could've sworn I saw an option like this once before.
View 5 RepliesCan someone point me to an action script that can display a timeline on a flash movie. I don't want to use a component. I would like to learn how to program this using actions script.
It need to be able to move the slider back and forth to move the flash movies timeline back and forth. It almost needs to look and act like the Timeline in the flash editor.
I was looking up the web today and couldn't find anything in how to time an timeline animation in flash.
Let suppose I have X number of scenes and each scene has a different number of frames running at a certain frame rate, how could I code a text box to tell me how long my animation would be in seconds?
developing custom video player for my fla files.. i made few flash slides with combination of audio,text,animations, and video files.(for a e learning project).. the player which i made is a blend of few sample tutorials available on online... now my problem is how to display the total movie length of the movie in a dynamic text box using as2..

View 12 RepliesI have to make time so the hours to be starting with 0 for the numbers less then 10 for example 9:30 to be 09:30 and in my code it works for the minutes but not for the hours. I have written the following code here:
function UpdateClock () {
myDate = new Date ()
hours = Number(myDate.getHours())
minutes = Number(myDate.getMinutes())
seconds = Number(myDate.getSeconds())

I'm a newbie to Flash. I have created a basic screensaver which has 8 different layers. 7 are hidden and 1 plays through as it is now. I was wondering if there is any way that on completing the timeline, it starts the timeline again and then shows the second layer and masks the 1st one. It would then do the same, masking the 2nd layer and showing the 3rd and so on.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get the time from the server (php) and then display a different flash movie (via either a different swf or frame on timeline) accordingly.
Unfortunately I haven't found anything that relates to this using as3.
I would like to understand if such a problem exists in flash cs3 or is it just me.My problem is that while I try to code on the timeline in cs3 using as3 i hav encountered this issue of "null references" every time i change frames.let us assume I have 4 frames . withs buttons oR movieclip in each OF them. i have a code on all the frames each orresponding to the movclips present on that frame. so when i go from frame 1 to 2 and i have a code in frame to which is something line "mc.addEventListener(event, func)" flash throws an error of null reference .. which after a lot of frustration I realized that my code was executed atleast 300 milliseconds before flash realizes that there are objects on that frame. My fix was 1. timers events call the function or
Code:
2. stage.addEventListener(event,chk)
function chk (){

SO, it's been a while since I've done actionscript 3 again, been mostly busy with iOS programming..Anyway, what I'm trying to create is a sliding panels.So far they work but I'm having some troubles, And everything I try does not do what I want hehe.
The panels work, I generate 5 of them in a for loop, they slide open and close when clicked using greensock.But, They all have a label, which needs to slide with it instead of staying on the same position.Plus, I have a if/else to check if a panel is open, but I want to check this individually instead of overall.
The full code is:
import com.greensock.TweenLite;
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
import flash.text.engine.TabStop;
[cod]....
I used a theme to change the colors of my code and background, but all the other panels are still white on background. I would like to set a dark background on all my panels/windows, is that possible?
View 1 RepliesI'm not a Flash developer, but I'm working on a Flash advertising issue where a Flash ad (movie/SWF file) is sometimes having portions of its animation panels or timeline (specifically some text copy) getting stuck and then they stack/layer/overlap on top of each other at the end of the final frame of animation.We were able to reproduce this only sporadically in IE7 but someone else reported the issue using IE8.A screenshot of the portions that are overlapping is pasted further below.The "Dr. Ted Lawrence" and "A pioneer in tumor radiation therapy." text copy portions are sometimes getting stuck and are sometimes overlapping onto the final frame of the animation.
URL to the Flash SWF movie file:
http://s0.2mdn.net/1608548/umhs11_specialty_cancertreatment_728x90.swf
(AS2, published as Flash 8)
I do not have the .FLA file.Would that be needed to troubleshoot this issue further?I know I'm probably not using the correct terms exactly, etc,
Is there a setting that can be adjusted to keep the panels (ie Output Window, Actions, etc.) in Flash CS3 from 'sticking' to each other and forming panel groups? Most of the time I just want to slightly move a panel and it automatically snaps to another one, re-adjusting its dimensions and visibility.

Is there a way to increase the font size for the text in the user interface of the application, menus and panels for example? I have not been able to find any setting in the preferences for doing this.
View 2 Repliestime-out feature on my timeline? I have certain spots in my timeline where i want a time-out to occur after 5 seconds of the user not clicking anywhere or doing anything. I am familiar with mouse-listener functions... but only used them for something that i was going to make time-out after an already pre-determined time...
View 21 RepliesI have a time line of 1441 frames. My frameRate is 24 fps. So it takes 1 minute exactly to complete the timeline animation. I want to Display the Remaining time as file starts. I need formula to place in ENTER_FRAME event which displays the time left.
View 1 RepliesI am loading a flv video in AS2:
var conexion:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
conexion.connect(null);var stream:NetStream = new NetStream(conexion);

this.onEnterFrame = function() {

It works very good, In this line, I get de current time of the flv:
timer_txt.text = ((integer.length<2) ? "0"+integer : integer)+":"+((decimal.length<2) ? "0"+decimal : decimal)
And I need to display the total time too. By the way, I am not using the any flv component, I need to play the video in a custom player....
How can I display the timecode when using the flvPlayback component and custom skin?

So I have recently been looking everywhere for the as3 equivalent of how to display the current time in non military format? I have searched the forums, nothing really comes up.
View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip (mc_menu) that sits on the main timeline. Inside mc_menu I have several buttons that display items inside the mc. I also need to display an image on the main timeline. I have converted the image to a movie clip (mc_01). I am using AS2.
View 2 RepliesI've got a movieclip called "rotatorProxy" that spans the entire timeline. I've got nav buttons that jump to various frames on that timeline. I need to get the display depth of rotatorProxy each time the nav buttons move the playhead. The AS3 code is easy enough:
var zIndex:int = this.getChildIndex(getChildByName("rotatorProxy")) ;
my problem is where to put it. If I put this code in any script that executes in the target frame, it works, but only if I hit the nav buttons slowly. If I bang on a single nav button rapidly, getChildByName("rotatorProxy") can return null. I don't know much about how the display list works but I assume the display list is rebuilt after every jump and the frame scripts are executing asynchronously, so it's possible my getChildByName call is executed before the display list is complete. Is there an event or some other handle that would allow me to call my code before the frame is rendered but after the display list is complete?
I am trying to find a script which displays my frames on a timeline randomly (and shows them for a second or so).
I did find a script but when i place the movieclip a couple of times over my stage - what happens is that the random script is not working anymore.[url]...
the website that im working on has 5 main buttons which then navigate you to a certain frame on the timeline which will display its respective information. but within one of those pages/frames i have 3 more buttons that i want to be active and take you to another frame on the timeline.
but when i try activating them with the same as3 code that i used on the other 5 main buttons, they do not work.
If i create timeline slideshow with tweensbetween the pictures, how do I add music so that it ends when the pictures end?I read that audio can come out of sync??What if i use another program to create the swf like after effects that exports with audio? and import, would it lose sync then?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to externally load a swf at a certain time on the timeline. Right now I am loading it by using an on(release) with buttons, but I need the first to load as the timeline reaches the certain number. I'm using this code for the buttons.
on (release) {
_root.empty.loadMovie("externalloader1.swf");
}
I'm not sure if I should use a Load action or what?
I have a dynamic text box set up called 'circle'. Each time the movie loads I want it to display different text.
Currently, I have
Actionscript Code:
_root.circle="hello","nice to see you", "hello, again";
on the timeline.
Unfortunately, when it loads it just sticks with the first 'hello', instead of choosing one of the other options. How can I tell flash to display a different text option each time?
