View 7 RepliesI have 10 jpg which same size and the name is liked a1, a2, a3...a10. Can I import them to flash and arrange them to same position on the stage and the animation is like:
frame1:a1.jpg
frame2:a2.jpg
...frame10:a10.jpg
What ways is quickest to achieve it?
I have done simply 3D animation in Flash CS5 with AS3 (letters horizontal spin).
I wanted to include that simple spin.swf into the Flash 8 AS2 project. P.S. the project is completed in Flash 8 AS2, a year ago, so I just want to update it.
When I call the swf or import it the swf is empty and there is no animation.
Basically I have 51 separate static images that I need to import into Flash and then use to form an animation. I don't want to simply make them into a gif unless I can manually control the animation (the images essentially represent a 'health bar' in a game, so I need to be able to control what is shown based on the amount of 'health' the player has). I have been told that there is an easy way to do this in Flash, but the person I was talking to wasn't sure how to go about it.
View 2 RepliesIm using PS CS5 to build the parts of animation i am making in Flash CS5. Im not using PS for the animation as the GIF quality is horrendous, and also rotating layers for animation is a no go!Anyway, im saving the individual layers in (Save for Web) as PNG-24 files with transparency. Then importing them 'To Stage' in Flash. That side is all good.
When ive made the animation in Flash and go to 'Publish Preview' there is a 'background' there. Also there is a border around the files on the stage. This appears to be the size of the 'background' in the animation. Transparency is set in the GIF settings.
What to do in order to find the number of sequences in an array?[code]...
View 5 RepliesI've been given a task to create a program that will run an audio sequence. The goal of this is to press a button and have a audio sequence run where there are 3 different possible audio sequence outcomes. Each of the 3 sequences have a different % of being picked 20%, 50%, 30%. I came up with a break down of what i think i need to have happen:
-Play event
-Random number 1-100
1-20 = audio sequence 1
21-70 = audio sequence 2
71-100 = audio sequence 3
within sequence 1 there are 4 audio clips once the second audio clip is played there is a 50-50 chance to skip the third clip and play the last or to continue and play all four.
sequence 2 has three audio clips
sequence 3 has one clip
I'm assuming i have to setup some kind of If then statements or maybe an array. I have only limited knowledge of action scripting with flash. Is there anyone that could point me in the right direction on how to accomplish this?
what to do in order to find the number of sequences in an array? for example: my array is: banana, banana, apple, banana, banana. what shell i do in order to get the numbers: 2,1,2? (2 bananas, 1 apple, 2 bananas).
View 3 RepliesIm trying to create animations for use in sprite sheets for xna but am having some problems with exporting png seqeunces from flash with alpha.I know that if everything is on the main timeline then using the export as png seqeunce with alpha works fine, but when there are movieclip symbols on the main timeline, which themselves are animations, the movie symbols simply remain at their first frames on export.
View 2 RepliesDoes anyone have good tricks for exporting complex swf files as PNG sequences? We need to be able to edit the size of the final file, and a PNG sequences allows us to do this in AfterEffects while maintaining good detail. Also, what programs do people use to convert .swf files to .mov, etc? We are running into trouble, it seems some programs can't convert the .swf files.
View 1 RepliesI was just working on this tutorial: [URL]
It seems to work fine when I uploaded it to my testing site. It loads the correct swf and I can click on my menu link (the only other functional button with the action scripting) to go to another swf and it transitions correctly. Here is the problem:
After clicking on the menu link and trying to click back on the home link (containing the same swf as what initially loads) to redisplay the first swf, nothing happens. Then the menu button is unfunctional after that as well.
I've been pulling my hair out trying to get transitions sequences between externally loading swf's in my flash site.
I am loading html page(UTF-8) content using UrlLoader. All characters in the result are represented as //x??(where ?? is 1 symbol). How can I get normal string from this?(with actual symbols instead of codes)
View 1 RepliesI downloaded a flash app the other day. I can't put links since I don't have 50 posts, but if you type Dj Mixer on ActiveDen, it should come up.Basicly, it allows you to put sounds in a folder, add them to an XML file and the flash application acts as a mixer with a timeline. You can select which loop you want at what time and create your own track.There's one thing though, it doesn't allow you to export the sound. I have no experience in that area so I was wondering 2 things:- What would exporting the sound in an .mp3 format from the compiled sound loops involve in terms of complexity? Can this be done in a short time frame or is this something that requires a lot of knowledge and ressources?- Once the exporting to .mp3 part is done, I wanted to able to take that .mp3 and send it to my phone. Do you guys know of any Websites that offer a suitable solution for this?
View 1 RepliesI've made a *.swf file of the sprite sequences of 1000 images with (780 x 480) size. After that I embed this with another one class to show but every time it crushes during run time because of insufficient memory (assume that I have 2GB memory space). Which is the best way to implement such big sprite sequences in AS3 by avoiding the memory problem?
View 3 RepliesI am importing a picture in flash and i found out that there is a difference between importing to the stage, and importing to the library... [URL] I've placed both picture close of each other and if you look closely, you'll notice that one of them is losing some resolution. Both picture come from the same file, a png. The picture imported to the stage is sharper than the one imported to the library. is there a way to import that picture to the library without losing any resolution?
View 5 RepliesI have a movieclip that shows an animation onRollOver and an animation on RollOut but onRelease the animation enlarge itselfs but now when I'll roll out when the animation isn't open (so i didn't release) the animation plays the animation for the minimizing of the animation.

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.
View 1 RepliesOk when you press link one it olads great! when i press link 2, it plays the closing animation, but not the entire animation, thats the problem.My closing animation is a red square going from one end to another ( for the hell of it).But you see content number two will load b4 the red square gets all the way across!!

View 1 Repliesso I have a looping animation that is several frames long. Inside the animation is a button, when pressed I want to go to another part of the timeline, where another animation is waiting. Simple, I got that working no problem. But... I need the first animation to go to the last frame in the loop before starting the next animation. The way I have it now makes an ugly cut, and the transition between animations isn't seamless.

I made an animation in Flash which I want to embed in Flex using SWFloader.
I've imported the tweener class (caurina.transitions.*) to tween a rotation. The animation runs perfectly in Flash.
However, when I embed the animation in Flex, the tweening is gone.
Do I need to import the tweener class in Flex?
I use Flash Player 10 (latest version), Flash CS4 Professional version 10.0.02, IE8 and Flex Builder 3.
I have a certain set of motion twains that I've successfuly completed, they constantly loop right now (default), and is saved in the SWF file.I'd like to take that finished looping animation, and insert it within another animation (a) that can be played with a play button, and stopped/resetted with a stop button.How do I insert the completed looping animation into the main animation? And is there something special I have to do in the actionscript of the start and stop buttons so that the "inner" looping animation will start and stop with the "outer" main animation?

I have created two buttons (Button1 and Button2). When you click Button1, an animation pops up. You click on the animation to close it - that works fine. If I then click on Button1 again to replay the animation, the animation does not show. If I click on Button2 THEN go back to click on Button1, the animation plays. Why can I not click that same button twice in a row? What am I doing wrong?
View 2 Repliesim trying to do is have a button that shows an animation (created by a duplicateMovieClip function) with onRollOver and stops the animation with onRollOut. It works when i roll over and it stops when i roll out, but then it continues in a loop up to the point where i rolled out (instead of cutting off completely as i would like). Id be extremely grateful if you could tell me where im going wrong.

View 1 RepliesOn a horizontal bar, text scrolls from left to right, continuously. The text is a fixed string of city names, and I've made it so that it loops nicely. This horizontal bar with scrolling text is part of a vertical animation, scrolling the bar in and out of view. The vertical tween starts after two seconds. When the vertical tween starts, the horizontal animation has started as well. At the beginning and end of the vertical tween, the horizontal tween starts over. I want it to continu.
