ActionScript 2.0 :: Switching Animations At Key Press/Controlling Character
Feb 10, 2002
My only accomplishment so far with it was to create a space shooter game which i modified slightly and animated it or at least the enemy spache ships and the players spaceship.
Here is what I want to do, but cant seem to figure out
I want to have a character on screen who is standing stationary normally, but still facing a direction.(left or right)
Now I want to be able to switch to a walking animation towards the right when I press a key and a seperate animation for when he walks left also at the press of a key I want to do down and up to, but I should be able to figure those out once I learn left and right
I also want it so when I lt go of the key they stop the walking animation and return to stationary, but stay facing whatever direction i pointed them

I have a 9 frames image of a character.In other language generally i used to make character animation by looping the array consisting of different frames and drawing each frame when pressing key.What i want to do is when i press left or right key, i want to draw each frame that makes character movement and update x coordinates of frames, and it will appear as character is moving.

I have created a stickman that can walk and it's a full 60 frames of him walking and at frame 60 he's the same as he is in frame 1 so it looks good and it loops well.
I want to have this same stickman jump and also duck at some point. Do I create completely new movie clips for those animations or do I put them all in one movie clip and use labels for the frames to jump around?
In my final flash movie output, I want my stick man to walk forward when I press the RIGHT arrow key, jump when I press the UP arrow and I want him to duck when I press the DOWN arrow.
Now I probably also want him to walk backwards as well so I'm thinking I need to also create a walking backwards walk cycle for him also? or is there some trick I can use to play the walk cycle backwards or something?

I have this animation I made that I'm trying to import using Flash. It's a pretty simple animation, with a black background and orange for the main character.What I was wondering is this: is there any way to change the color of the character in Flash so that it will subsequently change the color in each of the frames?Also, is there any way to isolate the character so that I can add other objects and animations that move independently from the primary animation?

I have an animation of a blue ball falling from the top of the screen, bouncing off the bottom and exiting through the top. This animation "Bounce" is an action all "Ball" objects can perform. How do I apply this animation to other "Ball" objects? I thought of making a second layer (the skin of the ball object) that follows the first layer animation.
I am asking because I have an animation of a blank character performing actions, i'd like to be able to design and decorate several characters for my animation that can perform the animations of the blank character (template). My game randomly designs different faces/clothing for these character objects, but i'm not sure how to animate them based on an already made animation.

What I would like to do is have various MC's act as buttons so I can have animations in their various states. I have no problem controlling the MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT animations, but I want another animation to happen with the MOUSE_DOWN action, and at the same time I want to disable the button controls. When I call a myClip.mouseEnabled=false;, myClip plays on, instead of remaining at the frame it is at, like it did with AS2. One solution I found was to create a second mc and have it cover myClip, but the animation I'm using makes it unusable.

I am making a walk and jump game. My game would work by the character standing in a fixed place and when I press the left key he would appear to walk left but the background actually is moving right. And when I press the right key the background would move left making the character appear to move right. Now I would also like the character to jump when I press the up key. Now I have created a walk cycle in a movie clip and have a jump cycle that I could also use for the jump.

I got a character to move. I want the player to be able to move the character to a button then press spacebar on it. Which will take them to another frame.
This is the code I got for the button but the trouble is u can press spacebar anywhere to go to the next frame.
on (keyPress "<Space>") {
_root.gotoAndPlay(23);
}

i am doing this: press buttons on screen to move character left or right, "swipe" elsewhere on screen to do other stuff.
This is how i have handled it:
Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, onTouchBegin);
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, onTouchEnd);
buttonContainer.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_ OVER, tOver);
buttonContainer.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_ OUT, tOut);
this works fine, just wondering if anyone has another way to handle it. it seems excessive to have 4 handlers for touch input, but i cant figure out any other way.
TOUCH_OVER and TOUCH_OUT check a switch statement to enable/disable buttons within buttonContainer.
TOUCH_BEGIN and TOUCH_END are used to store points and get a "swipe angle" (only if TOUCH_END is not over a button)
my only problem is i started having glitch's i think becuase so many listeners including: ORIENTATION_CHANGE, KeyboardEvents, Event.DEACTIVATE
this is why i ask if perhaps im missing someway to simplify the touch input listeners

I am trying to make a movie in flash, and each character is its own movie clip symbol. I also have a variable for each character, to control the current animation running. I have one character in the movie, for now, and that movie clip symbol is called mann. It is just a simple draw, I am just testing this method out. Now, the first frame of the movie, has this action:
--
mann1_anim = 1;
--
That is the first time I use that variable, so then it will be created, right? anyway, then, the first frame of the main movie clip symbol has this action:
--
mann.stop();
while (mann1_anim == 1) { }
mann.gotoAndPlay(mann1_anim);
--
On that first frame, my man character only stands, so this action should do so that while the mann1_anim variable is 1, the man should just stand there, right?
Then, the 9th frame of the MOVIE, has this action:
--
mann1_anim = 2;
--
Then something should happened in the action of the first frame of the main movie clip symbol, because mann1_anim is no longer 1. Then the mann movie clip should start and play at frame 2, right? From frame 9 of the MOVIE to frame 22, I have created a motion tween for the main symbol. from right of the screen to the left. Then, in the 2nd frame of the main MovieClip to the 3th frame, is the "walk to the left" animation.
At the 3rd frame of the MovieClip, I have this action:
--
while (mann1_anim == 2) {
mann.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
mann.gotoandplay(mann1_anim);
--
This should loop the walk to the left animation to frame 22 of the movie, cause in frame 22 of the movie, when the tween animation stops, is this action:
--
mann1_anim = 1;
--
So then, when the tween animation stops, the mann symbol should return to the stand animation (frame 1). Well, that was a lot of explenation, and here is the problem. When I test the movie, the main runs its complete animation all the time! I have uploaded my work file(fla) here [URL].

anywhoo i have minimal actionscript training tho i know a bit... im trying to make an Item system were i make an object like a key or a helmet... and if i collide with it it disapears. and i get the item, then somewhere put _root.playerMC.standing.gotoAndPlay ("item"); .. maybe in the item i dunno..
so basically i set my characters up like playerMC then in that animation i have a body head arms and legs.. and in those i have different items equipped on each body part on each frame how should i set this up!!!.. i cant call those items deep in the animation the farthest i can go is like Playermc.gotoandplay ("walk") when i try to do like.. playermc.walking.head.gotoandplay ("item") it doesnt work..

I also have a character that moves at random I would like the drunk moving character to be able to catch this character and play a scene from within the drunk characters movie clip but I want this character to try and escape the idea is the drunk character gets points for how long he is able to hang on to this character

i have an rtmp folder with videos,I am trying to do a seamless change to next video using nestsream play2 method.have tried using the fast switching of NetStreamPlayTransitions. SWITCH like below.[code]The problem is the switching is not happening.offset=-1 is supposed to be fast switching. The idea is to make a seamless transition to the next video.if we dont use any transition method or use opts.transition = NetStreamPlayTransitions.RESET;its the same as not using any. It just switches normally.RTMP is supposed to provide a relatively faster transition, i am looking for a seamless option .

I am using the following line of code in my Flash movie: navigateToURL(request,"_blank");However, when I am using Internet Explorer 7 (with tabbed browsing enabled), and this code is called to open a link, the link is opened in a new tab, but IE7 does not switch you to view that tab as you would expect!When I open a link in a normal web page in IE7 (and the link opens in a new tab because _blank was specified in the HTML code for that link), IE7 will switch you to that new tab to see the web page you just opened, so why does it not happen when using Flash?I know that within the settings for IE7, there is a setting that you can tick that says, Always switch to new tabs when they are created, and this solves the problem. However, many web site visitors will not have this ticked.How can I make sure that when a user opens a link in a new tab from my Flash movie, IE7 switches to that tab?I am using ActionScript 3.0 and Flash CS4.

Let me preface this post by saying I have been studying actionscript 3 for 2 months now and I am now at a point where I am looking into how experienced developers code their projects and what tools they are using. Repeatedly, I come across a post or a blog entry where a developer says:
[Code]...
Now here comes my confusion/question(s). When a developer says something like that, are they saying that they ONLY use FDT to create their projects? If so then how are they going about doing it without the use of the Flash IDE? Do they just keep creating external .as classes and then link them all together or what?
In my 2 months of studying, I really feel like I have learned a lot, but I cannot seem to wrap my head around this. I want to break away from the Flash IDE (if at all possible) so that I can go deeper to the code.

I'm making a website for my business. I want this site to run similar to an OS UI. The first issue I've run into is swapping between "window" MC depths. I'm not quite sure if its just that I need to add a mathematical variable to each one every time it is clicked or how to getDepth of the highest "window" MC in order to put the desired "window" MC above it.

If I have a prompt window where I am asking the user for some input, is there some way I can prevent them from switching window focus to the other windows in my application? (switching to other applications is fine) I'd actually have preferred if the window didn't appear in the taskbar at all, but utility windows look awful and I'm using system chrome so lightweight is out.

Need to design a flash video player which can run multiple angles of video at the same time. The primary video will run at full size, and the other angles will run at a much smaller sample size at the bottom of the video. User will then be able to select whichever angle of video he likes and upon clicking the smaller video it will become full screen/mainplayer shell. The video which was previously full screen will then take its place among the other smaller videos.
