I have an awkward problem with a carousel I have built. When the images are scaled down to give the 3d 'flipping' effect, they start to flicker and cause the general movement to slow down. Someone mentioned cacheAsBitmap.. .
View 3 RepliesI got the following Action Script for my image-movement. How can i make the movement to slow down at the end? Thx for your help!
drag = "/dragControl";
/:w = getProperty("/nav", _width);
/:xPos = getProperty(drag, _x);
[Code]....
My nav buttons load each a swf file through a holder. One off the external swf's is a gallery with autoplay. When going from the one nav button through the other after a few times when returning to the gallery (with autoplay) the gallery starts to flicker. When reloading it's not always the first pic that is playing. It's like this is still in the memory only you can't see it when loading another swf file.
View 13 RepliesI think that Tweener is not using fractions of pixels on x,y movement, but that exactly what I need. I read about rounded parameter (default:false), that would round pixels, to reduce problems with text, but I want to slowly pan an loaded image, so I don't want to use a rounded value. My code:
var bmp = Bitmap(loader.content);
bmp.smoothing = true;
Tweener.addTween(loader, {x: 20.0, time:10, transition:"linear"});
Image smoothing works fine, but it slides choppy. It looks like moving 1 pixel at seldom frames, not some fraction of px per frame. I'm considering that flash image smoothing has to deal with fraction of pixels. I searched over stackoverflow, and all I could find was about image smoothing, and not about x,y movement smoothing.
My version of Flash CS5 has recently become very slow to start up, taking well over a minute sometimes.It appears to stall for the longest time during a loading process called "Loading Accelerators" (yes, very ironic).Mac Pro running Mac OSX 10.6.7 (Snow Leopard) and 14Gb RAM.
View 4 Repliesjust been trying to fade one image into another on mouse over. found a template which does it for me and have applied my images to it. works how i want it to - image 1 fades into image 2 on mouse over, then goes back to image 1 when mouse moves off
BUT the problem is that when the mouse is the image and it fades into image 2 it begins to flicker - see for yourself in the .fla file here [URL]..
in to make the image not to flicker on load i dont want the swapDepths method attached is the file

I have an instance of the flvPlayBack component on my stage called myVideo a list of links down the lhs is used to pop in the required video.If a user gets say 1/3 of the way into a video and the presses a different link for a different video then: the new video pops up but the seek bar is still some way into the new video there is a pause of around 1 sec the seek bar goes back to the start.I want to speed up the return of the seek bar to the start of the new video.
Here's some code:
Code:
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
this.myVideo.alpha=1;
if (linkType !="http"){
[code]....
This might be wrong but do I need to somehow remove the reference to the "old" video before I set the source to the new one?If that's junk - and it probably is ...How can I speed the return of the seek bar to the start of the new video?
This is the first time I have used a FLV with cuepoints. I have a flv which loads into my swf which I have added cuepoints to on import. I have a series of buttons over the flv and when you rollover these you skip to various points in the flv. This works in principal but in reality it is a little slow, especially when it first loads. I am assuming this is because the FLV is still loading (although I am testing this locally and it will never be used on the web). If this is the case I think I need to make sure the entire flv is loaded before i show it. Secondly, is this the reason the rollover animations are slow to start or is this an inherent problem when using FLV? Is there anything else I can do to make it more responsive?
View 3 RepliesI'm using a new Mac Pro with Snow Leopard. We have Adobe MC CS5.I'm experiencing serious problems with Flash CS5. The program locks up at "Initializing Tools" for several minutes at start up. Once the program opens it will crash if I try to create a blank document. Other Adobe programs work fine.Flash CS4 worked fine on this computer.Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I've tried uninstalling and deleting all adobe documents from the configuration folders. It just seems like this machine is cursed or something.
View 1 RepliesI am experiencing no scrolling below a certain scroll velocity on both mouse and trackpad on my Macbook in Safari 4.I have the mouse wheel events working on my mac through the javascript bridge from http:[url]..... I also have normalized the delta in my actionscript to be -2 if below 0, and +2 if above 0. Testing the delta on the javascript side, the mouse wheel at the slowest I can scroll it reads well above or below 0, and the trackpad reads around .025 to -.025... so I'm wondering why is it that Safari doesn't see this until higher speeds?Scrolling works, I just have to give the wheel some speed before it kicks in. It works perfectly in Firefox.

I recently upgraded from FMS 2 - FMIS 3.5.Over our internal network videos stream like a dream!However, accessing them from outside our own network means that they take about 20 seconds to load, or sometimes just get a message saying the server isn't found.This wasn't a problem with the FMS2 and there have been no changes to firewall settings or anything like that since the old server was up and running without problems.I have the new server set to use exaclty the same ports, but wonder if there are some other settings which could be causing this?Networking isn't really my area of expertise, and I have no idea where to start looking to improve things.
View 2 Repliesi have a set of images which i've converted to mcs and have given them all different instance names. The first image motion tweens to the right of the screen via actionscript and then the next one will motion tween from the bottom of the screen to the top and then the image after that will go to the right of the screen and next one goes to to the top, and so on. I have this actionscript for the first image,
[Code]...
I need the next image to start motion tweeing up to the top of the screen right when the first image starts fading out. Then when the second images starts fading out the next image is already motion tweening to the right of the screen and so on. Once every image has run through its tween everything repeats. Is there any way of doing this?
i am making a website where i need to fade full screen images. At the moment i am using TweenMax engine to change their alpha, but i think its slow on some computers ... Here is the website ( not finished ), you can see what i mean. I tried using colorTransform to change images alpha, but its even slower:
var ct:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform(1,1,1,0.95,0,0,0,0);
onEnterFrame = function(){
_root.PrevBitmapData.colorTransform(_root.PrevBitm apData.rectangle,_root.ct);

I have recently launched a site for a client which includes an interactive flash element on the home page but it takes a long time to load (10-30seconds). I have followed advice from others about keeping image small and link movies rather than embed but still slow, the swf file is about 7.9mb which i thought was ok for the size of flash file. Does anyway else know where I have gone wrong whether it be the embedding or some other area.

I've been looking at the image panning tutorial over at [URL]
Basically the script makes the image scroll based on the direction of your mouse movement.
However what I want to do is, only make the image (bg_mc) scroll, whenever I mouseOver a certain area to the right and a certain area to the left. The blue shapes illustrate what I mean: [URL]
how I would go about modifying my current code, to do that. Lets assume my left scroll shape is named moveLeft and the right, moveRight.
ActionScript Code:
this.onMouseMove = function() {
constrainedMove(bg_mc, 4, 1);
};

I have two different background images for my navigation bar. I want the two images to crossfade between each other incrementally depending on the position of the mouse cursor. I was thinking I could do this with an OnClipEvent (mouseMove) and an attach movie command, but I'm not really sure how that works... like I said, i'm just starting out, and I'm thinking I've bitten off more than I could chew.
View 3 RepliesI'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I looked for a place to send general "feedback" and could not find one.I just wanted to let the management at Adobe know a couple things related to recent Public Relations blunders. Ever since the announcment that you were ending Flash Player for Mobile, I have had many conversations with people about this topic and there is SO much misinformation due to your announcement, it's going to tank Flash as a broader platform.
- Some think Flash doesn't work on Macs
- Some think the Flash player is cancelled on ALL platforms (PC included)
- Some think Flash in its entirety is coming to an end.
This perception seems to come from people of various levels of technical knowledge, from basic users where it's understandable they might be confused about the specifics of the recent news (but still not a good thing!) on up to key decision makers who don't know tech but are key to making certain spending decisions with regard to tech platforms (CEOs). This is a horrible place for Flash to be in right now and you need to quickly change the perception with a "Flash is alive and well" type of announcement.Remember, most people only retain sound bites and a few words from headlines. You may have announced "Adobe ends Flash Player for Mobile" originally, but what people retained was "Adobe ends Flash Player". You need to make a new announcement that the short attention span people will come away from with knowledge that all is well. "Flash not dead" for example.Man, whoever plans your PR needs to be fired. You could have killed off the Mobile player back before the MAX conference and then followed up with the news about Flash Player 11 and Stage 3D. That would have a perfect one-two punch, but instead you reversed it and all the excitement from FP11 @ MAX was blown away.

I was just wondering, what is better in general? Having a TextArea component or just use a TextField with a scrollbar component over it? What consumes less memory? What is the implications of using a TextArea? Why use a TextArea over a TextField?
