I am trying to control movement of an object in one frame based on timing. I have the movement working correctly. What I need assistance on is determining when it should move.I tried using timer() mod 1000 but am having no luck.What is a way that I can implement this portion?
View 2 RepliesI wish to get the effect of ants scuttering across the screen or up a tree, I have not decided which direction yet. I started with the tutorial code for the snow effect from kirupa, and changed it around to fit the little vector ant I created. The way I have it now looks pretty good, but the movement is a little too fluid. They obviously move in sinusoidal paths bc the code tells them to. I have about 20 copies of the main obj, and they're all a little different in size and specs (speed, transparency, etc) but what I was wondering was if there is any way I can change the code to make it a little more hectic, or erratic, not so fluid. If there is no way of doing so, it looks pretty good right now. If there is, however, I think it could look awesome. here's the code I'm using for the object.
onClipEvent (load) {
//stage
movieWidth = 850;
movieHeight = 50;

in the old version of flash, there was an option in the property inspector where one could have assigned ie. 8 seconds to a keyframe (esp. text) so one could read the let's say 3 sentences before the next set of sentences came on the stage. i swear there was an option for this in flash 8. can anyone tell me how to control the timing in flashcs4 in between frames? i know how to make the very last frame stop( ); in actionscript 3.
View 2 RepliesI'm doing my company website. When a mouse event sends you to my services page I have 4 seperate 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. Is there an easy way to adjust this code to achieve the desired effect.[code]....
View 0 RepliesI have created a series of Symbol MovieClips which I load through ActionScript on the first frame of the main timeline so that they play sequentially. I dynamically create each MovieClip, add it to the Stage, and setup an enter frame listener.On the last frame I stop and remove the clip, and repeat the process with the next clip.These animations play sequentially as intended. However each clip has an audio sequence on its timeline.These play simultaneously at the start of the main timeline.I've tried each of the Sound Sync options on the first frames within the Symbol clips.With the Stop setting the audio doesn't play, but Start, Event, and Stream all cause the audio to play at the beginning of the main timeline which seems to contradict the documentation I've looked at.
Is there a straight-forward way to sync the audio to the Symbol clips, or does the audio need to placed on the main timeline?I'd rather not do this as it is much easier to sync up the audio for each symbol clip with the animation when I can work with the smaller audio snippets and not have to test the whole movie.
here what i have:- On stage, a clip (video_mc) that has 2 frames- frame one is a jpg preview of the FLV with a playBtn- playBtn leads to frame 2 where FLV Component (videoPlayer)plays a video (using FLV, not netStream)What i want to do:- I want to stop and rewind the FLV Component (videoPlayer)lying at frame 2 of video_mc from a button (retour_btn) thats onthe stage.Ive tryied this code to target the FLV to not avail:video_mc(currentFrame = 2).videoPlayer.stop();I assume im not that far, but cant figure it out.
View 1 RepliesI am still pretty new to Flash, but I do understand mostlyhow things work. Basically, I have 5 banners (each in a named frameof their own) in a banner rotation SWF and I want to make themrotate continually through all 5 banners without using the timelineto do so. How would I use setInterval to force them to rotate, sayevery 3-5 seconds? Or, what command would I need to make them do

View 3 RepliesDoes anyone know of an existing flash (swf) based audio control that is available (free or commercial) that provides a timeline waveform visualization with the ability to select and play a portion of the timeline?For example, the flash control used by this website... http:[url]....It does exactly what I'm wanting to do. I need this capability to allow a user to mark a section of an audio file which can then be synchronized with other visual elements on a web page using javascript.
It is important that the user be able to see the wave form of the audio because they can save time by visually guessing where certain sounds start and end in a file. The user can then select this block of the audio and preview the sound and tweak the selection if need be.
i've figured out how to move objects with actionscript but am having trouble pushing it a bit further. i'd like to: a) ease in and out with actionscript and b) have the object move to a certain distance, then move back.
View 4 RepliesI am currently creating an explorable comic. The problem being the explorable part.Essentially I'm trying to scroll the "screen" in order to explore the comic, the comic being just one massive picture. To do this I figure I need to move the picture in relation to where the mouse is to a centre point, So the further away the mouse gets from the centre point the faster the image moves in the opposite direction.
View 1 RepliesI tried my best to search the forum before posting, but if this issue has already been addressed, I apologise in advance. My goal is to create a movieclip that will scroll vertically based on mouse movement, rather than mouse position.I've found many tutorials on the yugop scrolling menu, but my problem with this menu is that the scrolling continues even when the mouse has stopped moving, if the mouse position is on either side of the stage.
View 1 RepliesI want to create a program that has a button that when clicked, moves a BOX +1 on either the x or y axis each time the BUTTON is pressed. I know how to make the button and the the BOX, but I am unsure of how to perform the Loop statement and the animating the position statement. I thought it might work something like where the Position of the BOX would increase by +1 each time the button was pressed.

View 4 RepliesOne of my Clients wants a certain type animation on his buttons and he wont budge. here it is. a set of buttons (home - about - products - contact) with a line running parallel to them on top. when you roll over (lets say products) he wants that section of line to bend up and away from mouse. this 'bend' in the line 'unbends' when mouse is completely rolled off the button section but moves along the line if next button is rolled onto. This Isn't all. he says If possible he would like an object (lets say an apple) to move along the down slope of the line bend. however the more i think about this the less it works. so im only worried about the line bend for now. Im still waiting for him to send me an example he saw on another website i will post it as soon as i get.
View 4 RepliesI hope that this topic hasn't been discussed ad nauseum; I searched the forums for similar discussion threads to no avail. I completed the Flash MX object movement tutorial found at [URL].I then wanted to add a second instance of the beetle symbol to the stage and assign it both a new instance name and a different set of keyboard keys that would control its movement.
When I test the movie, I am able to control each symbol instance with its assigned keys. (The instances move and rotate as they should.) However, when the first instance rotates and moves to the right, the second instance "slides" with it. That is, the second instance's assigned keys have not been pressed and it doesn't rotate, but it moves right in unison with the other instance.

View 1 RepliesI have a round arrow on stage (like half of a circle) and I want to make it turn left when mouse moves right and vice versa. How to accumulate this turning thing ?
View 2 RepliesWe have made a dynamic image animation using xml. We are attaching the source code herewith. At present, when you place your mouse over the images, the animation will start backwards. I.e., it will reverse the way the images are loading.
We want this animation order (normal and reverse) to control based on the mouse movement. By default, now the images are animating in one direction. That is fine now. But, we want the animation should get reversed when you place your mouse at bottom of the page. And again when you move the cursor towards top of the page, animation should again start as normal (vice versa).
how we can achieve this task using mouse placement?

View 2 RepliesI'm developing a flash application. I am looking for a simple way to animate my camera's movement. Is there any built in tweening library that supports the camera object? I've checked out greensock.com, but I couldn't figure out how to use their libraries for the camera object.
EDIT: by camera I mean the viewing perception. Not a real hard drive web camera.
sample codes. In those codes they are using a verticalChange variable for the time-based character movement.But I can't figure out how this code works and why we needthose calculations - char.dy*timeDiff + timeDiff*gravity?So here is the code:
Code:
// assume character pulled down by gravity
var verticalChange:Number = char.dy*timeDiff + timeDiff*gravity;

3D movement in Flash. Basically what i want is to have 2 or > objecton the stage placed on different z axis and when u click on one object it brings the camera forward to the specific coordinates. Then you can also click on another object and it will bring to the new object that you just clicked on.I can do half of it, but actually when one object's z coordinate reaches 0, it flip around and then go at the back.what i want to achieve but how can avoid making the object flip or just tell him to stay where it is so i can always go back to initial position of the camera and then click again on it.

Is it possible to draw motion guide/path for a mouse position based movement?
For example if I have path the is like letter H. I would need to write many clauses/conditions for the borders of the movement. It would be a LOT easier if there would be some solution that makes the object always to stay on the defined path when moving..
