I have a movie clip that needs to move to a location when a button is pressed. I need the movement to be animated rather then just jump to the location. I think it would have something to do with affecting the movieclips _x and _y but i can't figure out how to make it animated.

I'm mainly using Flash, but for this part I need Action Scrip code. So I have a MC that when I click on it it starts playing, but it only plays one time through, and I need it to continue playing over and over again. By the way I have a function for this MC to play, so what should I add to it?
This is basically my function
ActionScript Code:
public function playBird(e:MouseEvent):void
{
sky.bird.play();
}
I have some simple script that has 2 "movie clips". What I want to do is to start moving the second movie clip at the same time when the 1st starts moving. (both start moving at the same time) I tried the following script but it never works:

I'm trying to create an animated movie clip button in AS2 using CS5. The button should fade in/out as the mouse moves over and away from the button.Lets say my frame rate is 30 FPS. When I insert a motion tween on frame 1, the timeline is automatically extended by 30 frames. I then select frame 30, select the button and change the alpha value to 30%. When I drag the head marker back and forth, the button fades in and out smoothly exactly as I wanted.But I want to create a motion tween between frame 1 and 10. So I select frame 10, insert a keyframe, select frame 5 and insert a motion tween. Then I select frame 10, select the button and change the alpha value to 30% like before. When I drag the head marker, there is no fade in/out. When the head marker is exactly over frame 10, the button is faded, but when it is on any frame between 1 and 9, it is normal.

View 1 RepliesI followed a tutorial to have a movie clip work as an animated menu for a website. One of the functions is set up as follows:
function do_this() {
this.gotoAndPlay("frame label");
gotoAndPlay("frame label");
}
So the animated menu is going to a specific frame in the movie clip while the site is going to the appropriate page. What I can't figure out is how to freeze the menu in the state that it goes to with this function so that it doesn't revert back once the mouse rolls out of the hit area. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
I have two arrows that control an animated movie clip that has words scrolling vertically. When you click on one arrow it plays the movieclip forward, and when you click on the other arrow it plays the movieclip backward. I want you to have to keep clicking on the forward arrow to have it continue animating through the different words. I've place stop actions at the points I want the movieclip to stop animating but when you click the forward or backword button it never stops and just plays through the whole thing. [URL]
View 6 Repliesi'm kinda new to actionscript but im trying to find out how to realise a banner i am making.I have 1 big movieclip thats about 5x larger then what is shown, i have 4 movieclips each on each side of the movieclip, left, right, up and down.The idea is that when i hover on 1 of the movieclips the big movie clip moves that way until the mouse isn't hovering above it or when the movieclip reaches the end of the side.I have given a mouse listener event to each movieclip on the side, the trace works well, but i i don't know how to make the big movieclip move when i hover the side, i hope someone can give me some pointers on how to proceed.

stop();

I'm developing a touch-screen Flash application for a shoe store, and it runs fine initially, but slows down toward the end of the day. I've been diligent with removing event listeners and so on. I've now narrowed the problem to be very specific - it's one section of the application causing the problem, and one part of that section:
- I have a main movie clip which contains the animation, which itself contains 5 nested movie clips, each with their own timeline. All movie clips have a stop action on the final frame. images are transparent PNGs with outer glow "filter" - the issue is not with performance as such, but with CPU increasing over time. Each time you play the clip, there is a small amount of CPU usage that 'sticks' and doesn't get freed up. What happens is that if you play the movie clip many (MANY MANY) times, then eventually it starts to slow down. Mac's Activity Monitor shows that the idle CPU usage is increasing slowly, over many times of playing the clip. It's insignificant with each play, but adds up over time.
You may be inclined to say: oh filters effect CPU, so it will be slow - but it isn't slow until it plays many, many times. Initially it's fast. I've uploaded a .zip with .app and .exe versions of my problem section. There are two files of each type: AutoPlay.app (& .exe): plays the problem clip repeatedly (I've just removed the final 'stop();' frame), so you can leave it open and come back in half an hour to see it slowing down.
ClickToPlay.app (& .exe): Plays the problem clip once when you click the 'play' button, so you can click several times, let it return to idle, and verify that the idle CPU usage is in fact increasing.

Am I completely hallucinating or what ? That's several years I'm working with Flash, and today, i want to do the simplest animation ever, and it just doesn't work....I want to mask an animated clip with an animated mask (a shape animation), but every time the mask arrives at a keyframe, the clip restarts to the frame 1 !!I added a piece of code to see at which keyframe it is blocked, and at every mask keyframe, the code says 'TypeError: Error #1009: null property..

I want to make a movie clip move anywhere outside the stage, but dont really know how should I do it, here is the codeI think that some changes should be made somewhere around math.random, where I put that // ???btw, I got this code from a tutorial where it was about attaching like 50 balls at once, making them move to random locations so there might be some useles things too the point is that I want a ball to be attached somewhere, preferably to the middle of the stage, and I want it to move in random direction with constant speed. I tried many ways of doing it, but the ball was changing direction every frame or other lame things happened

(this is just the down button)This just checks to see if the movie clip has reached its lowest position and if it hasn't it movies it down by 10px.What i would like to do it make is so when the button is clicked and held the movie clip moves down untill the button is released.(Im using Flash 8 with Actionscript 2)
I am trying to move a playing card across the screen from the deck to the players hand. The deck is in a stationary position and each player has 2 card places in front of them which are also stationary. The deck is a movie clip called "deck" and the player cards are named "p1c1" and "p1c2"....(player # card #). The animation I am trying to accomplish is to duplicate the "deck" movie clip and move it to the players card. Once it reaches the players card, the stationary card will load the card image and the duplicated movie clip will be removed to make it appear as a smooth transition.

View 1 RepliesOk, i am creating a snakes and ladders game and have so far produced the board, the counter and the dice.Once the dice is rolled it returns a value called 'rollValue'The counter is a movie clip with the instance name 'counter' and is set up on the timeline with position 1 on the timeline being the first place on the board, position 2 on the timeline being the second place, 3 on the timeline being 3rd position on board etc etc.What i need to do is move the counter to the position on the timeline (hence moving it on the board) that is returned by the dice value.I was thinking something like this:
counter.gotoAndStop(rollValue);
or maybe this on the actual counter which would move it the amount of places determined by rollValue:

I'm creating a slideshow gallery in flash and am basically there now except for one bit...
have a look here [URL]
The slider at the bottom for the thumbnails moves ok but I want it to stop at the last slide. I
I can manage to code it based on the mc's _x value
i.e if (mc._x < -200){ //do nothing }
but this creates a dead stop and I want a gently slow down like if you were to navigate from thumb 8 back to 1.
all of my coding at the moment uses the mc's x value in relation to the mouse's distance.
The code I have currently set on the slider is:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if((_root.slidesQTY>6)&&(_root._ymouse>460)){
if(this._x<0){
[Code]....
how I could add another if statement that doesn't halt the animation as it hits the last slide but creates a smooth slow down?
i'm creating a flash news scroller that accesses an external file to read news headlines.I've created the main system which works roughly as follows.The main movie clip reads the external headlines & related article texts from a file (using loadvariables) and puts them into an array.I loop over the array creating several new instances of a movie clip (lets call it "news_piece"), placing one above the other. "News_piece" contains 2 text fields called "Headline" and "Article", so i change the contents of these fields for each instance of the movie, retrieving the contents from the array.The outer movie then scrolls the lot.
Now comes the difficult bit...stay with me... sometimes the headlines can be 1, 2 or 3 lines in length. So, if I want the article text to start directly below the headline, I guess I'll have to move the lower Text field ("Article") a bit higher/lower in that particular instance of the "News_piece" movie.So, to summarize, I wanna move the co-ordinates of a text field in an instance of a movie clip
