I have this for a continuos moving animation from right to left.
ActionScript Code:
mc2._x = mc1._width;
var speed = 6;
[code]....
How can I put a slow stop and restart in the code?
I'm trying to create the look at the following website: [URL]. Once it's loaded click the screen and at the bottom left go to portfolios. Click on one of them and you'll see a slow continuous side scrolling gallery. I've got everything working apart from when I mouse off it continues at the speed at which I left it. I would like it to slow to a default speed and continue scrolling as in the example I've given.
I should mention I followed tutorial here: [URL]. It's been a while since I dabbled with Flash and especially AS3! Here is the code I'm using so far.
Code:
import gs.*;
var centerX:Number = stage.stageWidth / 2;
var galleryWidth:Number = images.width;
var speed:Number = 0;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, move);
function move(e:Event):void {
[Code] .....
I have tried to Google this but all results are for resetting variables, fields and other code-related things. I am trying to find an answer via the animation part of Flash for this question: How can I restart my animation? (well, the file anyway.) I mean, pretty much like closing+opening the file again, you know.
Secondly, since I am new to ActionScript why isn't this code working?
var has_pressed:Boolean;
has_pressed = false;
Button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler);
function fl_MouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
has_pressed = true;
} if(has_pressed == false) {
stop();
}
The stop(); part of it works fine! But even when I click on Button1, it still stops the animation , or at least it isn't working. That code is supposed to basically stop the animation until the button is pressed. I guess there might be another way to do it, but it practically is a 'play' button.
I want to make a button (text saying "back to menu") make it so that when you click it, it restarts the animation. I tried but it gives me this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at navysealstest_fla::MainTimeline/frame1() This is the code I used to get that error:
Code:
menu_mc.menu_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, launchAnimationAgain);
function launchAnimationAgain(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay(1);
}
I currently have an animaion I'm creating in Flash CS4. There are 3 nested movieclips on the main timeline (all on one layer) each in there own frame (1,2,3) and they are also labelled ("strategy", "videos", and "messages") I want the animation to play continously without any interaction from the user i.e clicking buttons e.t.c I'm struggling to link the three movieclips together using ACS3 i.e once MovieClip one has played it will go back to the main timeline and play the second MovieClip on frame 2 and so on. From looking at various forums I thought the gotoAndPlay function may work, would I also need to specify that it is going back to the "root" timeline?
View 5 Repliesim quite new to flash, and im just about to create an animation which will rotate continuously but my problem is that each time it ends its loop it pauses for a bit then loops again,
View 6 RepliesI am trying to make simple continuous animation on y axis.
The problem is that the animation is not smooth!!! It has jumps and hiccups. It is hard to see in the beginning, but once you see it, you can't get rid of it.
Here is an example:

This particular code is pretty simple:

View 1 RepliesI have Flash CS3 installed (windows) I have two images, I shape tween from one to the other.
The .fla file is 15MB in size, and the .swf is 800kb,
My problem is that, even though I've set the animation to run at 30fps, I barley manage more than 1.4fps a second, it should take 5seconds to complete, yet its taking 140seconds.

I want it to be a smooth transition.
I am having a issue with CS5 flash iphone app displaying slow laggy animations when I use a background image. I have pinpointed this issue by making a simple iphone application with only a vertically accelerating ball and one background image. If I use the background image the ball will animate slow and laggy, without the image it performs fine.
Also...while I have your attention, does anyone know why only CS5 will allow me to compile IPA files that will run on my 1G ipod touch with ios 3.1.3. I would like to use CS5.5, but the IPA from that version will not run on my device.
I'm running web browser over RDP (Terminal Server). However, the flash animation is slow over RDP. Is there anything can be done or perhaps anything to tell flash player to drop frames during animation?
View 0 RepliesI wanted to make buttons for my web site with some spinning animation, but i wanted that it dont just spin, but speeding up and slowing down. So what i want to make, it is the button whan mouse over, spinning animation speeding up and whan mouse out, animation slowing down and stops, and whan there is no mouse over, animation not playing.
View 1 RepliesI'm new to flash and I'm working on an animation project for my class. I decided to do half of it as single cell animation and half of it using tweens and whatnot. The parts that are single celled are moving WAY to fast and are throwing off the flow with my tweens. It's a requirement of the project to have atleast 20 fps and I don't have enough time to dedicate to drawing tons of more cells. For example, I have one animation made up of 40 frames and it needs to be stretched to about 100 frames. I've tried copying all of the cells into a movie clip and attaching a stop(); method at the final frame in the movie clip, then importing that into my movie and stretching it to the length i need, but it just runs at the normal animation rate and then stops until the timeline gets to where it's time for the next event or scene to take place. It sort of looks like i need to find a way to control the fps of my movie clip independently of the entire movie, but how would i go about that?

The problem is that after calling ( _root.ballInHole.start(); ) my animation slow down. Im just changing position of 32 mc objects with no timeline on OnEnterFrame event of main timeline. When I'm not calling the sound then is everything perfect and fast as intended.
i want a button that when rolled over, it gradually stops a movie clip. I don't want it to stop dead. I also want a button that when you rollover it the movie clip then starts again, but gradually.
View 0 Replieswhen i double click a symbol or button to edit it, I get this strange windows-like animation of a chequered rectangle that comes out from where I double click and gets bigger and bigger. Once its as big as the screen I can then edit the symbol.Its like its something to do with vista. If I bring up other applications whilst its doing it the rectangle is always on top and visible over everything. It's like some sort of windows "zoom" animation but for some reason its doesnt work quickly and is painfully slow... 10 seconds or so and when i come out of symbol editing it does the same in reverse.

View 2 RepliesI have dynamic text that needs to animate slowly across the screen but right now it jerks in 1 pixel increments as compared to the vector graphics accompanying it.
I've increased the frame rate, converted it to a bitmap, applied GridFitType, etc., none of which (or my implementation) seemed to work.
Is there a way to achieve smooth animation with dynamic text at slow animation speeds?
I have a movie on the stage called wheel_mc that I want to slow down and stop using action script rather than use easing on the tween in the movie. It has 200 frames and when it gets to frame 100 it starts to slow down and by the time its reached frame 200 its completely stopped.
View 10 RepliesI wondered if someone might be able to help me with this. I have a horizontal, infinately-scrolling movie. I would like it to slow down and come to a stop when the mouse is not over the movie.
The movie is contained within an HTML page, and if your mouse leaves the movie, it just keeps on scrolling and is very distracting.
I need to slow down, then stop a movie clip animation usig AS3.The slowdown will be triggered by clicking a stop button.

I am very new to action script. I want to stop the stream from publishing then later on i want to publish the same stream again. My problem is that I have 3 levels of stream processing (Ingress-Rename ProxyLimelight-AuthProxy-Live) before it goes live. User wants to stop stream from publishing and then publish the same stream when he wants in each level. User does not want to start the stream from the begining, he wants to restart the stream on the same where he stopped.
View 0 RepliesI have a project for mobile where some of my animations scenes look as though they are winding up or playing in slow motion (from the start). They start out slow for about three seconds, as if they are winding up or in slow motion, and then they run at a normal pace. It only happens on specific animations and is consistent on different devices. Also, once I come back to the scene (revisit), the animations run normally from start to finish.
I have had some success in speeding up some animation by doing the following: In some scenes, the following would occurr: 1) a character was walking 2) the character grew in size though tweening 3) the background was animated as well ect. In other words, there were several things happening in the animation. In this example, I made it less complex by keeping the character the same size and making the background static. This helped alot. However, for the aforemation animations, I have tried everything (I am aware of) and nothing has helped. I'm not sure what to do next.

trying to make things for my classroom. Dawsonk was kind enough to help me out with it months ago, but I had a computer crash at school and lost it. Unfortunately the school system doesnt try to recover stuff, they just wipe it.What I want is basically a gaming wheel (like at a carnival, the kind you spin).I want to be able to have a .jpg or something that I can modify (if I change the lesson later, or for different outcomes, just replace the .jpg with a same sized wheel).I just want to hit a button, make it spin, slow down, and stop. Maybe a second graphic of just a pointer at the top that overlaps it so you know where it lands. It doesn't even have to stop exactly on one 'category' or 'slot'. It just needs to slow down and stop randomly.

I am using button navigation, and the only way I can get it to work is to use th stop command so the buttons are the only way to navigate. My problem is I need to add an animation and because it's jumping through the applet it isn't animating, I have an animation on a new layer, but it won't play or loop, is there anyway I can get this simple animation to loop constantly in spite of the stop commands in the other laters, I have to have an animation for the project to be valid.
