Has anyone found a script in AS2 for a nice snow effect that it doesn't make the computer go crazy with so much processor calculations?I tried almost every script around and makes my website completely crash most systems.my flash file is about 600k with quite a few menus and 930 x 630...so its a bigger res than most

Can i center the effect? i mean, like make it in the center of the flash movie? because when i resize it the lower part of the snow effect goes away and the top stays. Its like, i dont want it to go up or down, i want it to be in the center of the flash movie.
Does anyone know how to recreate the TV snow effect, you know when you're trying to tune in a tv channel and all you get is the 'fuzz'?
View 10 RepliesFirst create a new flash document, make it 300x60 pixels, make the background #009933, so we have a nice christmassy green.
Now press ctrl+F8 to create a new symbol, make it 3x3 pixels.Add the snow symbol to the top of the stage. Drag it about 20 pixels above the stage so the snow doesn't all collect on the top of the stage. Now give it this code:
[AS]onClipEvent (load) {
this._width = random(5);
speed = _width;
_height = _width;
[code]....
Then play your movie and watch the 3d snow! Next post I will explain the code and post a source file!

View 1 RepliesHow can I alter Kirupa's snow effect ( http:url.... ) so that it begins on a slow start? Just have little snow start it off and then gradually reach the original effect.
View 10 RepliesI am using the downloaded snow effect from the following link. [URL]. I want to add a link to the movie. I use this:
Code:
var link:URLRequest = new URLRequest ([URL]);
button_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gooo);
function gooo(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(link);
}
But it stops the snow - and I'm not sure that the links work either.
Is it possible to stop this effect using actionscript in the middle of a movie. For example If I inserted this in frame one of my movie, how would I stop this effect using action script in frame 20?

View 1 RepliesI've been making a flash animation for a client - the dimensions of the stage are 2,000px wide, 800px tall. They want a graphic in the background and a snow effect in the foreground.
The code I have written uses TweenMax to move a snowflake that has been dynamically loaded from the library on to the stage using attachMovie. When the clip leaves the stage, it is deleted and a new clip is created at the top of the stage.
I expect flash to redraw the background that the flakes pass over, but flash seems to also be redrawing space between the flakes - as if they were one movieclip - even though they are separate instances.

View 10 RepliesThe problem is that every snowflake is created over everything else on the stage and I need to hide all snowflakes for some frames to make transmission between two scenes.Transmission is transparent black rectangle over the scene and alpha is slowly going to 100%... but the snowflakes are visible over the black rectangle - how to remove them all ?
View 1 RepliesI have the snow effect falling in the project. But during the falling of the snow I'm loading an external file into the screen. (animation from another prog in swf format) But the problem is that the new swf file is blocking the snow. How can I script the snow so that it will fall on top of the loaded file.[URL].
View 2 Repliesi was wondering if its possible to make the external code for the snowflake effect in kirupa tutorials (AS3 version) run internally, i.e. without the need for the snowflake.as file
im trying to add the effect to my flash movie via loading the swf file.
I created bubbles using the snow 3.0 tutorial from here at kirupa. I slightly altered the code so it would be for bubbles on a canvas of 800x500.The problem with the tutorial is that it is for snow moving downward on the y axis. for bubbles in the water, I need them going upward.which part of the code I need to alter so the bubbles will move up and not down? Also, I need the life of the bubble to last the length of the canvas.
Code:
init = function () {
width = 800;
// pixels[code]........
I've been experimenting with this and I haven't been able to come up with an adequate solution. Hoping one of you Mathletes can point me in the right direction. I'm building a Snow Globe in ActionScript 3 and I need to come up with a set of equations to control two level of snowflakes - one level random, and the other interactive where a user can click on them.For the random snow, I need to have it create certain number of random x/y positions at the bottom of the globe, which is a circle with a radius of around 300. Then when the shake action occurs, They should randomly float toward the top, then fall back to a random position at the bottom of the circle again.
For the interactive snow, I need it to randomly layout, but I don't want flakes to overlap so that its easier to interact with them.
I have a code I am using for a "snow" effect for a banner. It works very good!But, I can NOT turn it off!! I would like to activate it in scene 2, deactivate it in scene 3 and reset it before the entire clip loops.Here I have included the coding along with the comment tags to help out..

at the end of the scene I want the snow to stop falling. I can't work out how to end this script. I want to reuse the snow later, but I have a scene set inside next.How do I start/finish this script?
View 4 RepliesI have an expandable banner project to do and the final swf file has to be under 40kb. My swf size is actually 144kb and I don't know what to do to get to 40kb.I've tryed to compress my images but I can't to 40kb even if they are all squashed up.I've tryed also to load my PNG's file externally using Loader but it just don't decrease the swf size.
View 0 RepliesSo i am building a site for a client, and in it i have incorporated an automatically cross-fading background made of large photos.Wheneve they cross fade programatically my CPU gets WORKED!
I am using
Code:
if (this.photo1.imageholder1._alpha<100-this.fadeSpeed) {
this.photo1.imageholder1._alpha += this.fadeSpeed;
}
as the fading command. Is it just a characteristic of flash that it HATES to do ALPHA changes?
Our project badly needs to move to Flexmojos4 to get a fix, but this requires Maven 3. Our project makes extensive use of Maven and we really love it, but have configured it very heavily. Between a dozen modules we probably have 50+ pages of XML configuration.
We also use Eclipse and make heavy use of the M2Eclipse plug-in. We also use the following Maven plug-ins:

BuildNumber
SQL

I'm not 100% sure thats the problem, but It seems so. One other thing it could be, is maybe the screen doesnt update untill an event listener has completely finished?
Anyway here is my problem: My app does some pretty heavy calculations when the user clicks on a certain button. From testing, the calculation can take up to 3 seconds to complete. What I want to happen is, as soon as the user clicks the button, a "please wait" appears in the middle of the screen. 3 seconds later, after the calculations have completed, the "please wait" sprite disappears again.
However I cant seem to make that happen. Right now, when the user clicks the button, the please wait sprite does not show up at all. Using trace statements I'm pretty sure whats actually happening is, after the 3 seconds of calculations, the please wait sprite is set to visible and then invisible at essentially the same time, so you dont actually get to see it on screen.
Heres the code:
Code:
private function mouseDownListener(e:MouseEvent):void {
pleaseWaitSprite.visible = true;
trace("now visible");
[code]....
The trace statements "now visible" and "now invisible" show up at exactly the same time in the output window, even though there is 3 seconds of calculations between them. I guess the same thing is happening with the visible code.
Ive tried e.updateAfterEvent() but not surprisingly that didnt help. I think I need something more like e.updateDuringEvent() ... ?
I'm coding games that come with the graphics done. Unfortunately the designer has some bad practices, such as not using Sprite symbols - never. And the files have dozens (even hundreds) of symbols in the library, very few of them with any animation. I would like to re-brand such symbols as Sprite to save some CPU (and maybe even kB), but my graphics-related skills are very low. Where should I start? Check and convert the symbols at authoring time or it's possible to do this at runtime? Can I effectively convert a MovieClip to Sprite (I'm guessing casting to sprite won't help much) or another light image type?
View 3 RepliesI've got a flex component which works pretty well but unfortunately turns into a disaster once used in a datagroup item renderer of about 40-50 items. Essentially it uses bitmapdata to take screenshot of a fully-rendered webpage in mx:HTML (this version of webkit rocks btw, miles better than flex 3). The code is pretty self-explanatory I think. [URL]. I've optimized it all I could, browsed, search for answers and already trimmed it down a lot, I'm desparate to reduce the memory usage (about 600mb after 100 draw). The Garbage collector has little effect.

MMO best practice. Download music and heavy files to users hard disk? I have just downloaded a Hello Kitty MMO app for research (for my kid of course).I am developping my English teaching app with LOADS of classical music, mp3 sentences and heavy background bgs. Would the best idea be for client to download these to their hardisk ie I would not need to stream them and therefore save a fortune on bandwidth charges from my ISP?
