I want to move a mc with actionscript, along a path, and this movement to last about half or so of a second (just like tweening in the timeline with frames and all). How can i do this?
View 2 RepliesThe first half of the tween doesn't work but the second half does. It only does this when I add the code link._visible = 0;. This is to make the alpha completly disappear.

Is there any way to concatenate E4X expressions? If I store "half" a path in a variable, can I concatenate the way I do with Strings?

View 9 RepliesI have a movieclip with an image fading in and out (using an actionscript tween class set to yoyo). This movieclip is loaded into a dummy movieclip when a button is pressed. The first time you click the button the fading movieclip plays as it should, fading in and out continuously. However, the second or subsequent times the button is clicked the fading movieclip goes crazy, half fading in/out and half jumping from one alpha value to another.
View 7 RepliesBuilding a flash website in CS3. I've made every button the exact same way, draw a rectangle, convert to symbol, type as either button or movie clip (doesn't seem to matter and I'm not using rollover stuff), alpha 0% and stick it on its own layer above everything else.Action scrip is as follows:
main1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoMain);
main2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoMain);
function gotoMain(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
that's with 2 buttons for main. I have the exact same code multiple times for many different buttons. It works everywhere except the last two buttons on my page will work the first time you click them from the main page, but then don't work after that until you click on the main page again. Then it works.These two:
babout3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoAboutb1);
bcontact3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoBcontact1);
the function is described on an earlier action keyframe:
bcontact1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoBcontact1);
function gotoBcontact1(event:MouseEvent):void[code]...
Of course I've tried just having one button do this and copy/pasting the button on different areas of the movie, but nothing I've done fixes. I've even gone through and deleted every button and AS and redone it. I've put every button on its own layer (shouldn't matter but I'm trying everything I can think of).if there is an easier way of using AS to navigate a flash movie let me know. The other options I've seen seem a bit too complex at the moment.
So, I have a tween where a movie clip starts at 0 alpha and ends at 100.. I want to move the clip to a new place on the stage, but when I do it creates a motion path.. Edit multiple frame doesnt work either, so how does someone move a tween if the tween doesnt have a tween path?
View 2 RepliesI have a straight line that converges to a point which makes the line curve. I want an arrow to follow the converging line. Motion guides seem to only work with a defined non moving path. How can I get my arrow to follow the moving curving path?
View 2 Repliesi have a mc that moves along a path and i have a mc in my library that does a little falling animation. i used the attach movie function to attach it to the tween ed object on the stage. it attaches it mc but it doesn't play past the first frame. is there a way i can make the attached mc appear as the tween ed object moves along the path.(think of tinker bell as she flies the dust falls behind her)
View 3 RepliesI am simply trying to move symbols around on my Stage, and each time I move one, the "path" is recorded and the object flows on that path when I scrub or play back.
All I would simply like to do is reposition images and symbols with out the movement and animation.
I have a movieclip moving on a path by means of a tween. At the starting point a (virtual) line on the movieclip is tangent to the path. Is there an easy way to automagically rotate the movieclip such that this line remains tangent to the path throughout the tween?
View 1 RepliesI need to have a MovieClip/Sprite move along a path (which will likely be a Shape object) which is drawn dynamically and is going to be segments of straight-lines that bounces off the walls/edges of the stage. I now that Flash CS4 itself allows tween animation along a path, but I haven't been able to find an example of doing similar things in code. Most of the examples I see just deal with the x/y values directly. Is there no way to animate a MovieClip along an existing path object?
View 2 Repliesafter I create a motion tween, why is it that I don't always see the path of that tween? It seems that I've got to shuffle stuff around a bit before I actually see the colored path. Is there some trick to this?
View 5 RepliesI need to move a movieclip dynamically over a path. The movieclip has a front which should remain pointing to front when moving along the path. So I need an angle at which the movieclip should be rotated regularly. This is something similar to the motion guide we have in Flash.
View 5 RepliesI have a lizard movie clip that contains a bunch of moving parts. I have placed this clip on the stage and then did a motion tween along a path. The clip moves along the path but you can't see any of the parts moving.
View 4 RepliesIs it possible to trace the path a symbol takes and create a shape(or shapes that appear as a tracing)? Very Simple example: The letter C, without serifs. Basically an arc. I would like the C to be "drawn" in the animation. I hope to simply motion tween along the C and trace it's path. I did a shape tween, and wasn't happy with the results. Plus complex paths would be very hard to shape tween.

View 1 RepliesIm trying to make a ball move to the position of a crosshair (not the mouse, but another object on the stage) which stops after 15 seconds (if you can imagine a penalty shoot out game).
So the ball is still to begin, but on an onClipEvent(enterFrame)command it should move to the target (the crosshair)
Getting the ball to move along a line at a specified speed is no problem, but I want the ball to actually go to and stop wherever the crosshair is on the stage.
At the bottom I have some leaves there. I want to make a couple different size leaves like that and make them go from left to right at random paths and have it loop. I don't know much about actionscript but is there a way to do this without having to make a bunch of guide paths and doing lots of tweens and rotations?

View 2 RepliesI have motion tween made on the stage that follows a custom path. It's a bus going along its route. instead of dragging out the frames to get it to be the right length ( i have multiple bus tweens running) is there a way to export the tween for actionscript or xml and adjust the total duration of the tween as one would a normal tween created in actionscript?
View 1 RepliesI have motion tween of 100 frames. The motion tween path on the stage shows me Keyframes at every 5 frames i.e. it shows keyframe of 5,10,15,20 and so on till 100. No issues with that at all. But when trying to motion tween the duration to 99 frame or even lesser the entire motion tween path shows me each and every Keyframe on the stage which becomes so cumbersome to handle as then I have to manage all the keyframes on the stage. Whereas, when it is 100(just a frame more) it starts showing a different display. How can I have to same display if I were to reduce the motion tween to 99 or less, in that instance it is much easier to ease the frames in my animation. Is there any setting which controls this? I am using Flash Professional CS5.0

View 1 Repliesthis is the script i have happening on a frame. i have 2 other clips that run next to it - conveyor belt styleee.[code]this works well. it goes to where i want then returns to an x value and the whole thing starts again. great. i know want to add button funtionality in that when i put my mouse over any of the clips all the clips stop moving. when i remove the mouse from the clip then all start moving again. this should happen regardless of what clip i rollover.
