I am trying to change the size of a box. Rather than using a shape tween to accomplish this, I want to use actionscript. I really don't know where to begin. I have created an mc of the box and given it an instancename of T2. I want the animation to play as soon as the mc is loaded.
View 5 RepliesI was wondering if there is anyway to shape tween two primitive shapes using actionscript. The shapes will be drawn using AS3 and then i need to tween them. no timeline should be involved.
View 1 Repliesi'm trying to figure out (if at all logically possible) what the best way to go about tweening the vertices of a rectangle would be. the effect i'm going for is using the drawing api (or some other class if it allows it better) to draw a rectangle and then eventually be able to move those vertices with a tween while retaining the fill in the shape. i've tried looking at the matrix/rectangle/transform classes but i'm not sure that any of those would do what i'm trying to do.code is good if you'd like, but if not then at least some direction on where to head with this. i'm still using AS2 so i don't know if its possible in 3 in an easier way, but id rather do it in 2 for now.

View 12 RepliesI am looking to create a slideshow with different shaped images and I wanted to create a boarder around the image which will expand and contract around any image even if it is out of sequence. I can't find an example online at the minute eventhough I have seen the effect several times but this link has a similar effect when looking at the photos...[URL]..
The bottom of the page moves up and down to accomodate the shape of the images. The difference is I want the whole image to be surrounded and the boarder to change vertically and horizontally.
I hope this is clear. Are there any tutorials I should look at? Is there a specific name for this effect which I could do a google search for a tutorial because I can't seem to find anything.
I am making some animations with shape tweening. I actually need it for my presentation.There are five layers of almost same shape of objects. The first two layers and shape tweening works as I expected.But from third layer, something weird happening. As I do shape tween, the layer becomes two moving objects: one is acting as I wish, but the other same object rotaing in x-direction.
View 1 RepliesI am attemping to shape tween text. (Flash CS5.5)
What I'm doing is:
Create frame at frame 1 Insert text Insert keyframes at two different points down the time line Change the last frame to what I want it to morph INTO Break apart all keyframes, and Insert shape tween in between the first and second, and second and third keyframes.
When I go to play the movie, it flashes the text that is in the last frame ONLY.
I need to create an Flash animation that simulates dots moving like 'flocks' between different areas of the stage. I've created an image to show you what I mean:
*edit* Don't have 50 posts yet, so I can't show you visually what I mean
My idea is to create a symbol that starts red and goes black when a tweening shape 'touches' it. That way I can create a 'flocking birds' movement effect without having to manually change each symbol for each frame (I would just animate the shape around the stage and the dots would turn black when touched by the shape and return to red when not).
How do shape tween shapes that I created using the line tool? when I try to tween it, it changes into some random shape during the tween.
View 1 Repliesusing the shape tool you can draw basic shapesthen using the subselection tool you can re-shape them by relocating certain points
What i want to do is create a tween whereby one of the points is movedthe problem is you have to convert to a symbol first and after you have done that you cant change the shapes shape.so how do i go about using a motion tween to change the shape of a shape?
My problem is that I want to scale my symbol in ONE specific direction. Up, down, left OR right. Flash automaticaly scales a symbol equaly to both sides, changes the x/y values of the opposite edge from the symbol, but I don`t want this.
I mean, I want to scale my symbols just like shapes. If I scale to the right, the left side stays on the same X/Y values.
I can`t do this on flash IDE nor in actionscript. I would like to know if there are any solution to both cases
I want this because in my movie clip I have a mask (a symbol made from a square) and I need it to scale upwards. But doing this by code makes it enlarge downwards equally screwing up my animation.
Im really new to as3, and im just trying out some stuff, but i cant get a shape to refresh and change when i change its variable using a text field.If i change the text fields text before i test it, it works, but while its running it doesnt change it again.Btw, trying to change the stroke size.[code]i just want is so that when i change the strokeSize_txt text box, it will change the stroke for the shape.
View 2 RepliesI would like to create a polygon that changes its shape (circle, trapezium, square, rectangle, triangle) based on specific buttons that the user clicks? An existing shape has to be able to morph into all the others. For instance, the trapezium has to morph to a square, circle, rectangle or triangle.
If I were to create each transition manually, I would end up with 5x4=20 scenes. Is there a way that I can just assign each shape to its own frame, and deploy actionscript to set in motion the transitions from one frame to the 4 other possible frames? I am very grateful to anyone to just point me in the right direction,
Is there a way to use tweening to animate a movie clips frames? Say to move it from frame 1 to 10, etc?
I have a movie clip that will have lots of different actions (moving left, right, up, down) and so on, and I don't want them all to play--I would like the MC to just play some set of them at a time. It seems like tweening would works best for this if it is possible. If not, what is a better suggestion?
I created an animation of a wildfire progression which includes 31 hourly perimeters showing the fire spreading. I created motion tweens 24 frames long for each perimeter and tweened the alpha from 0% at the beginning of the tween to 100 % at the end of the tween. Each tween is the same number of frames, and same frame rate, and all in the same scene. when the animation starts each perimeter is displayed for about 1 second, by the time the animation reaches near the end, the perimeters and durations are almost 6 seconds long. I want each to display for the same amount of time. It looks like the tween is adjusting its length to accommodate for the magnitude of change occurring in the scene.

I'm trying to create the following component: Just for information, the blank space will contain a text control, and I'm creating a component that represents the black corner with the (i) icon and the "promotion" text. The part I'm having issues with is this component representing the black corner with the diagonal text. The text has to be able to hold 2 lines. And the black corner has to be able to adjust to the text's size. What's more, the text has a rotation... I'm having some doubts on how to do this:
Should I have different controls for each text line? Should I draw the text in the shape (after doing the rotation) or should I just overlap both components? [When I talk about drawing the text in the shape, I mean in the same way as asked in this question] Is there any way to get the proper size of the triangle shape without doing some extravagant calculations?
