View 2 RepliesI will have three seperate pages for the motion tween, mask effect and shape tween... would you make the seperately, in a different scene, as a symbol or on the same scene with the website.

View 1 Repliesdo a simple fade in of text with a motion tween. I have entered text, converted to graphic symbol, set alpha channel on frame 1 to 0% and on frame 30 to 100%, the add motion tween. The text simply pops back in at frame 30 with no fade in between 0 and 30 at all. I have text set as static. Is this a Flash bug? I am working with Flash CS3. The same thing happened when I tried to do a zoom with a graphic and I had to break the two objects apart before I got any motion tween between them. This is not working with text, however.

View 5 RepliesI simply have one FLVPlayback component in the background and a movieclip on the layer above with an FLVPlayback component inside it. The first FLV component is constantly looping a five-second video. So all I need is for the movieclip containing the second FLV component to load the right file, fade in, and when the video ends, fade out. Absolutely all of that works... apart from the fading in. What I noticed was that my movieclip was fading in correctly, but the FLVPlayback component was empty and transparent until the fade had finished - then it played the clip. Here's my code, which gets called at random intervals:

my movieclip button was working perfectly as a motion tween. Can you use shape tweens as movie clip buttons? I just made that change, and kept my code:

i put my MovieClip on frame 1 than i put it on frame 60 and made motion tween between them. that works until i decided to positioning MovieClip at frame 1 with actionscript, i write this at frame one.

I'm trying to do a motion tween on a movieclip that is selected from an array via the following code:
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var toMove;
[code]...
unfortunatly it doesn't seem to be moving the movieclip, nothing happens. If I change toMove to a static name it'll detect it and work properly.
created a movieclip with a motion tween and I added it to the stage with the following code: var pop:msgBox = new msgBox; addChild(pop); //the msgBox is the class name of the movieclip and the pop is the name of the instance of it the problem is that the animation isn't played correctly. for instance, I drew a rectangle and converted it to a movieclip symbol and then I reconverted it inside itself to a graphic symbol. I created a motion tween that enlarge the movieclip shape, but when I added it with the above code, it start to animate correctly but over its iteration it start to behave not correctly. it seems that flash pro adding a new instance in each iteration that overlap on the previous one.
View 3 Repliesi made a movie clip with a motion tween wich i added to my stage with actionscript code (with the addChild() property). In het handeling code of the movieclip i put a stop so the motion tween won't play on startup. But how can i start and stop this animation with actionscript code without having to add the movieclip to my timeline?
View 1 RepliesI've been fumbling with this issue for a bit. I've got a lovely little tooltip movieclip that follows the user's mouse for a few seconds before it removes itself. My problem is that if there is one already there I remove it, however, I cannot seem to remove the Motion_Finish event and it still fires and possibly deletes a new tooltip. What I want is to essentially put in a line item such as:
var tween(smallhelp_panel).deleteAll();
I saw a tweenlight function killtweensof(mc); However I've used the tweens I've incorporated below throughout my 30k lines of AS3 code.
Here is my tooltip handler. I call it with a simple
Main_Warning("Please don't forget to save!",5);
My movieclip is a 'smallhelp_panel' and I check if it already exists and remove it. However, the alpha and MOTION_FINISH tweens still exist and cause issues with any new smallhelp_panels.
public function Main_Warning( the_text:String, myTimer:int = 4){
if(smallhelp_panel != null){
stage.removeChild( smallhelp_panel );

There is a movie clip "card" created dynamically through the code. I have a class, and I instanced it and add it to the stage. I need to move the movie clip on the button click, so I created a motion tween and export it to the code. Then I wrote a function and asign it to the button through the event listener. But the movie clip doesn't move. The event fires, but nothing happens.
Code examples:
1. Instance of a movie clip
var card:MovieClip = new Panic();
card.x=456.20;
card.y=77.30;
card.width=285;
card.height=355;
card.n = "IME";

I'm having issues with something I used to do all the time in previous version of Flash.On my Main Timeline I have a "looping" MovieClip (myArrows_mc). This MovieClip's timeline just has some simple animation,for instance some arrows that run across screen.There are no stop() actions, so once the playhead reaches the end of the MovieClip's timeline, it just goes back frame 1 and plays again.
Now I want to animate a simple shape Mask over top of the MovieClip. However, everytime the playhead gets to a keyframe in the Mask Layer, the MovieClip getting masked goes back to frame 1 and plays.
In other words, let's say myArrows_mc has 100 frames of arrow animation. On the Mask layer, I have tweened a simple oval shape from 1 side of the stage to the other. The shape tween has keyframes at frame 1, 50, and 64.
When I test the movie, everything looks fine (the arrows are looping) until the playhead reaches frame 50. Then the myArrows_mc, even though it hasn't reached the end of the arrows animation (frame 100), goes back to frame 1 and plays. Then when the main playhead reaches 64, myArrows_mc again resets to frame 1 and plays.
How can I animate a Mask over a MovieClip (not a Graphic) at authortime?Also, I need the Mask to be either a shape/motion tween or a graphic... it can't be it's own MovieClip, because I need to keep it "tied" to the Main Timeline.
If I perform a motion tween along a curved path, Flash CS4 does not allow to change the curves to "corner point" or "linear" in the motion editor. URL...

I have a movie clip (mc) with the alpha set to 0 (invisible). if you click on the stage it sets the mc's alpha to 0.4, before fading to alpha 0 again in 1.5 seconds. Here the code:
Code:
mc.alpha = 0.4;
tweenOut = new Tween(mc, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, mc.alpha, 0, 1.5, true );
Basically you click on the stage, the mc appears and then fades away within 1.5 seconds. Here's my problem...
If I click on the stage again before the fade has completed, nothing happens. I have to wait the full 1.5 seconds before I can do it again.
Anyone know how I can make this work irrespective if the previous fade out has finished or not?
I am facing a problem in one of my animation with flash CS4 - I have nested a Shape Tween in a Motion tween to get more control over the easers and effects, unfortunately I am not able to view on the timeline of my Motion Tween the action of the Shape tween nested inside.
It only show the first shape of the Shape Tween during the entire Motion Tween and that is really a problem for me because I need to see the final frame result of that Shape tween to be able to position it in a precise way on my scene according to other instances.

I'm making a "master movie" for an assignment and I'm stuck right now. What I've got is an Intro page that will serve at the Parent.swf to load 4 other child swf's upon a mouse click. The problem is I have a theater stage where I tweened an animation to make it appear the curtain on the stage is going up but once it reaches it maximum height....the tween abruptly stops. I want it to HOLD there until a user clicks a button.
How would I make this happen? Here is the page in question: [URL]...

What I've tried to do is to set the target_MC alpha to 0 and fade out the current mc. Then when the fadeOut has completed to setTimeOut. After this the mcs will swapDepths and the target_MC should fade up to alpha = 0I've attached the flash and xml files. The images were too large.
I have a transparent png bubble in movie clips that are being randomly sized and animation started using code. The design has a reflection and I am using a gradient mask for the effect. The issue is when the bubbles animate they are causing drawing artifacts.

View 2 Repliesit's an animated website header / banner
my stage is a long, thin rectanlge, with an asphalt background on a distinct locked layer
on the stage i also have a movieclip of white crosswalk 'stripes' motion-tweened from left-to-right over the asphalt
i am trying to have these stripes fade away as they approach the right side of the banner
'fade' being the operative word here, i'm trying to create a mask layer in the 'stripes' movieclip that has a transparency gradient
basically, a recatangle moves left-to-right over the stage, and a mask layer above (aligned left), has a left alpha value of 0, so the rectangle disappears behind it. i've seen references to 'soft mask' and also animated AS solutions, masks are always far too complicated.
I use this method to give a fade in effect to my galleries, but there is a problem with it when i m viweing it in the browser if i go to another tab then go back to the tab wich has the sef with this fade in mask t messes all up the mask get smaller or dissapear anyone knows how to fix it or another way of making an fadein/out mask? here is the code i use
Code:
this.clip.cacheAsBitmap = true;
this.mask.cacheAsBitmap = true;
this.clip.setMask(this.mask);
