ActionScript 2.0 :: Tween Offscreen With Resizable Stage
Apr 9, 2006
I'm building a fullscreen flash website. I have objects moving from offscreen to the center of the stage and from the center to offscreen. I use a simple onResize listener to keep everything centered when the user resizes the stage. I'm using the MC Tween engine for all my tweens and they are all coded relative to the size of the stage.
[Code]...
Everything works great EXCEPT if the user resizes the stage while a tween is in motion. How do I update the tweens end value to the appropriate location?
How does flash player handle objects when they are no longer on the visible stage? Is the graphical data still in memory? Does hittestobject/point consider them? Are enterframe and interval events still running?
In AS2 I would hold metaobjects (minimal x,y,width,height data) that would delete/create movieclips as the screen scrolled. Is this still a correct approach in AS3? If not, is there anything I can do to offstage display objects that improves efficiency, assuming around 400 are created initially?
I am trying to tween distance of the MCs-buttons around resizable circle... Distance should be always the same whatever the circle size is... The circle is also tweening its size... I set up some things, [URL]
I have a movie clip (menu2_mc) containing a navigation menu, which I want to have appear always on the middle of the screen and at the bottom say 15 pixels in even when the window is resized.I followed a tut by kevin schmitt which allows the background to be fullscreen on a resize. I have been able to center the clip on screen but still having problems nutting out how to change the y coordinates on a screen resize.
I have a SWF stage that needs to be resizable, as it loads content dynamically which may have different dimensions. Yet, I need an object (namely a 'Close' button) to keep its absolute size no matter how big or small the stage gets. I also need it to keep its relative position, let's say always at the top right corner of the resized Stage.
I am working on a website coming soon landing page that will be entirely flash. I have design a flash file to be resizable and set not to scale or skew any of the objects. Now I am working on a image I want to span across the bottom of the stage. Currently I am attempting this effect by using a tiling bitmap. It kinda works, I have it on the bottom of the stage only, and its only the size of the image. BUT its tiling very strangely, and I tried to clear the sprite on every resize.
I have attached and image showing what I am attempting to fix. Below is my code.
I'm creating something like a randomly generated maze in flash. For this, I fill the game space with blocks, and then have an algorithm that deletes certain connecting blocks to form a path.When I generate the blocks, flash has no problem with putting them in offscreen points like (-1000, -1000), but then when I try to delete them afterwards to form a path, stage.getObjectsUnderPoint() returns nothing for these points.How do I get objects under a point if they are not on the screen?
I have background elements that slide left and right on the stage depending on where the mouse is on stage. If I take focus off the browser, like if I decide to check my email or open another tab in Firefox, when returning to my flash movie, all the elements have moved off the stage, and when focus is put on the stage, will slide back to the correct position.
I'm using an event listener on the stage to detect mouse movement...
Since no one is able to answer my question in this thread, I like to ask a simpler question. How do I create a tween that will slide my texts from left to the middle and then pause for 3 seconds then continue to slide off stage to the right?
slideXTween = new Tween(txtField, "x", Regular.easeOut, postXFrom, postXTo, 1, true);
The above code is what I have so far for sliding texts from left to the middle. However, I couldn't figure out how to pause for 3 seconds and then continue to the right and eventually off the stage.
I got a box symbol nothing fancy I applied a motion preset to it and its just a basic bounce.I would like it when the bounce is over the box would just stay still on the stage and the time line would continue to play. The problem is this when the layer with the box on the time line ends the box disappears from the stage as well. now with a old school tween I would just add a blank key frame to the end of the movie and problem solved. But since I'm playing around with a the new type of tween when I try to stretch out the time line it affects the timing of the previous frames. In some cases the whole animation slows to a crawl in others the bouncing in the motion preset happens at the wrong time making it look like the bounce is happening in mid-air. So what I would like to do is just stretch out the time line in some way and just have the first part of the new tween stay in time and pretty much add dead space to the end of the tween and have the box stay put.
I project I want to do than a technical question.URL...What I have:
1. A very large image that is deliberately going off the stage (width: 2000px~, height 1000) 2. Empty movieclip outside of the stage that content will be loaded into
What I want to do: 1. When a button is clicked on the main stage, it will fire a tween that will move the scope of the stage over the image and to the empty movieclip. 2. Effect: it will (hopefully) be like the stage is gliding over the large image until it stops at the empty movieclip's coordinates.
What I've already done: 1. I've downloaded Tweenlite after researching what I want to do 2. I've looked at this example code: Tweenlite.to(mc, 1, {x:1500, y: 1000});
i'm currently working on a project involving a circle animating clockwise and anti-clockwise, there is a mask covering the circle and animating in over 40 frames ( 10 frames for each quater )
However when the circle tweens out, there seems to be a trail / fragments left on the stage which makes the animation look horrible and jerky
i want to have multiple blocks moving over my stage, but i want use just the one mc in the libary and my function, what adds a new block with random color, alpha and speed.I think, that i have to use addChild();, but i have no idea how to use it properly.
I want to slide in 4 uiloaders on the stage but how can I achieve this? This is the code I've got untilll now. The effect I desire is that the uiloader slides in from the left to right. With the first going on 500 seconds, second 1000 seconds, third 1500 seconds and the fourth on 2000 seconds.

I'm trying to position an MC to the bottom ( that's the simple part ) of the stage that has an initial height and width of let us say 10px height and 30px width. Ok, and now i want to scale ( stretch ) and tween the MC at the same time until it gets to Stage.height. I'm not really sure about how to do this one, i tried using some conditions, some whiles but it seems that flash kinda crashes so that's not cool.
i want the whole MC to keep on resizing ( stretching and tweening again ) on stage resize... how to tween and scale the MC at the same time ( by tweening i mean just like like a motion tween but the only problem here is that the height would be dynamic ).
When you arrive on the page the navi buttons are not completed/stuck. Out of 70% of the time the same thing happens when you refresh the page/resize the window.

im struggling a bit with syntax here -- i'm trying to add a method to my multiplayer flash games then when an arrow hits an enemy, it will display the dmg, while scrolling up and dropping off alpha.I seem to be having some linkage problems this is what i have:
var dmgwin:dmgtxt = new dmgtxt() //movieclip that will contain textfield var dmgwinsub:TextField = new TextField(); //textfield that has dmg # var tween:Tween = new Tween(dmgwinsub, "alpha", None.easeOut, 1, 0, 2, true); //an alpha
I was wondering if any one can be kind and help me, I was looking on google about a class or component in as3 that allow me to load an assets like a swf or image an give me so sort of handlers to change the size of the asset loaded, you know like in flash when you want change the size of a symbol you have a little squares handlers that you can pull to change the size, I don't want to reinvented the wheel, and I'm sure it should a be a class or component that I get or buy,
So I'm trying to open a second window that is meant to be a fixed size window. I've set resizable property to false but that doesn't seem to have any effect.
I have situation like two textfield, one for input and the other for output. Then there comes the problem that for single line input, I type a long sentance but when it shows in the output textfield(because the length is limited there), it only can show part of the text.
Is it possible to define the length of the output textfield change according to the input textfield? Or is it possible that when the input textfield has more text than the output textfield required, then the text shown in the output textfield automatically change into smaller font size?
I'm a young girl who recently discovered flash cs3 (I started yesterday) I found this tutorial about how to make a flying bird. I did as the tutorial said, I just made a butterfly instead of a bird. Now I made a flower and I want the butterfly to land on the flower. The tutorial only showed me how to make the bird/butterfly fly through the scene and not how to stop it while I still see it in the scene. I figured out how to stop the motion tween but then the butterfly dissappeared from the flash file after it stopped and I also figured out how to make it land on the flower but it keeps moving its wings Now I need help to make it stop moving the wings while it's still visible. I hope my explanation is understandable. As I said I just started with this program so I don't know how to explain all the different things.
I tried to upload the file on imageshack but it seems like it doesn't support this kind of file, or I'm saving it wrong. I could need some help with that too so I can show others what I'm making without that they have to download the file so it's easier to get help when I'm stuck A link to the .swf file [URL]
I'm currently making my own 2D shoot' em up and I've created a simple enemy spawn state machine which allows the game to automatically keep spawning/creating new enemies on the stage. Before I had this spawn loop machine/code set up, I had only one single enemy which was already on the stage to test the gameplay of my game and the enemy as set up tween object using tween animation. I'm wondering if its possible to add/able tween animation on all new created enemies as appear on the stage giving them movement/ai? This is possible? I've experimented with some code, I'm failed to succeed withs such functionality, I just wondering where I am going wrong or if anyone knew of any alternatives to my approach?
I want to alpha tween (ease in from 0 to 1) an object on stage over 25 frames. And after the tween is over i want the object to persist on the stage and in the timeline. How can i do that?afaik i have to extend the tween in the timeline beyond the keyframe with 1 alpha. But when i do that this also extends the time of the tween from 0 to 1 and it actually lowers the alpha 1 in the keyframe automatically to some figure that fits with the ease in which apparently spans the entire tween.
I 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
