I'm trying a shooting game from an incomplete tutorial online. I'm trying to finish it off myself and hopefully learning more in the process but straight away I've hit a brick wall.The stage is 900 x 350. Bullets are fired from a turret near the center of the screen and will travel and eventually leave the stage at some point. I want to remove the bullet from memory and the display list once it has left the stage and can no longer be seen.I'm using a conditional if statement to check the x and y position of the movieclip, and if it outside the width or height of the stage then I want to remove it completely.
PHP Code:
stop();var angle:Number=0;var radiansToDegrees:Number=180/Math.PI;var degreesToRadians:Number=Math.PI/180;var currentTurretRotation:Number;var

So I can tween shapes and such for their colours, but when I try to colour tween text, it won't work. I've tried various things, motion tween, shape tween, making them movie clips, making them graphics, ect. How do I make text tween between colours to get a nice smooth transition?
View 2 RepliesLike every other time I've had the displeasure of having to work with Flash, I feel like the best rule is to have a good bottle of whiskey on the side. I'm getting into CS5 and have a really complicated question here: how do I get this program to let me see what it is I'm actually working on? You know, the main point of being in here? I can't find a solution in any of the drop menus, have been in and out of the various workspaces, and in each instance I get everything except the most important element, which is the stage. Where the hell has Adobe hidden this thing now? It was here a half hour ago and has disappeared.

I am trying to create a page transition that will play a movieCLip transition into a page. and then it stops then when another button is pressed, it will play that transition out while loading the appropriate one. In the attached FLA, if you click on the red button first, the blue transition plays,
--red button code--
mybutton1.onRelease=function(){
_root.transitionClip.play();
}
and then stops on the stage. When you click the green button second,
--green button code --
mybutton2.onRelease=function(){
_root.transitionClip.play("out");
_root.transitionClip2.play();
}
it works correctly/ Playing out of the blue Transition and into the Red transition. However if I click it again it does the opposite, and just keep alternating.
If I add the
_root.transitionClip2.play("out");
to the first button then, nothing works right. I will eventually have more buttons, and may need to use a variable to control which "out" transitions is played, but how do I get the buttons to do this?I just want it to exit the current movie clip and play the "in" section of the desired clip.
I needed to group some simple geometries into a symbol in order to use it for hitTesting; And I think making them to derive from Sprite class is be better in performance than leaving them as from MovieClips? But then I have no need for setting them "export to ActionScript". exporting to AS and derive from Sprite, or just leave them as MCs ?
View 1 RepliesIn Flash CS3/AS3, if I try to run a transition on a movie clip "PaneB" accompanied by a PaneB class definition, I get the following error:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property __transitionManager not found on Site.Page.PaneB and there is no default value.
However, if I don't associate a class with PaneB (leaving Flash to define a default one), I don't get the error. If I create a child clip (for PaneB) without a class attached, and then run transition on that child, things work OK. And, if I create a new movie clip at run time and add PaneB as its child and then run transiton on the parent, it also works fine. Meaning, there's something that the default class definition is doing that my class (that extends MovieClip) is not doing. Happens even if I don't define anything in the class!
i have a movieclip named bgMC that has 5 keyframes with a different image for every keyframes.i'd like to know if it is possible via actionscript, caurina or else to have a transition between keyframes like:
1) i use bg.gotoAndStop(1)
2) fade in the image i have in keyframe(2), if i use i use bg.gotoAndStop(2) the image is replaced istantly
How can I add a Squeeze transition effect between frames using the transition manager class on a simple slideshow using the goBack and goForward functions in ActionScript3? Below is the code I have so far:
stop();
function goBack(event:MouseEvent):void

I've tried using tweenlite as a replacement for tweener. In one use I have a mc that I want to constantly move left or right when the mouse is hovering over it depending on position. With tweener I set the x for the tween to be mc.x-20. Using this with tweenlite 'to' just does it once rather then a smooth constant movement(this tween is being repeated through an event listener with mouse_over), 'from' will do what I want, however when the mouse leaves the mc, the mc comes to a halt and performs a tween in the opposite direction by 20 pixels...
I am not sure how to prevent the tween in the opposite direction or have 'to' continue to tween the mc without me having to rehover over the mc again for another tween of 20 pixels... So is it possible to use tweenlite like I had tweener working?
Code:
imageHolder.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateScroll);
imageHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, rollover);
function rollover(e:MouseEvent):void {
if(scrollc.mouseX>containerWidth/2) {
scrolling="right";

i have a flex app that transitions between 2 states with the toggle of a button. my issue is that the effect of fading only seems to work on the 2nd transition and after. However, for my first transition... going from State1 to studyState... there is no fade effect whatsoever, in fact the components in state1 disappear completely (the footer fills the empty gap where the "body" use to be) and then the flex recreates the studyState (without any fade refilling the "body" with components only in studyState). After this first transition however, going between studyState and State1 working COMPLETELY fine.. why does this happen and how can i make it so that crossfade works STARTING FROM THE VERY FIRST TRANSITION?[code]

Does any one know of an actionscript function or class to convert strings representing math equations (like: "integral(e^(1/2), a, b)" ) into nicely formatted formulas, for display purposes (using the integral glyph, etc..) ?
Purpose: I need to display nice looking math formulas that have been entered as strings (without special characters) in an xml file.
Just wondering if blurX and blurY works with the classes lee was talking about in the tweener movie? (the caurina classes) If not how can I get a nice blur effect on my tween objects?

View 2 RepliesI've only used flash for 5 months now. As you expect, i'm a super novice. I've been trying to follow the books, tutorials i fould on web and was able to make some nice animations,buttons and stuff. But i'm not a programmer, i never been one and i just don't think i got the brains for it. I just know a little bit. Like i said, it's only been 5 months so i only know how to change other's script to suit mine, i can't create any complicated from top of my head. My question is...do I HAVE TO be an expert to make websites with Flash? After all, i'm only learning Flash so I can make interactive websites. I'm not looking forward to making games or drawing boards or anything. Just websites. How much knowledge of Actionscript(or XML) would I need to make a flash only website?
