I 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 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.
To start things off, I use Flash CS3.moving menu that moves on its own when the mouse moves around it. Like the menu moves up when the mouse moves down.[URL]i have found similar tutorials for what i wanted.. but they are AS2 or older versions of flash..and what i needed is more along the lines of AS3 as that's what my class is learning and using.Does anyone know of an AS3 or anything that works with Flash CS3 tutorial thats what I'm asking?
View 0 RepliesHow do I make an animation play and pause when I click. Meaning.. I want it to play part the first 10 frames when I click, and then stop. Then when I click again it will play from frame 11 to 20, then I click again it plays 21 to 30.
View 3 RepliesI'm new to Flash and AS and everything and I've been trying for 2 days now without success.What I'm trying to do is this. The small squares should fade in/spawn in the blue rectangle and fade away/disappear when they hit the red edges.URL...The animation was made on timeline, not using any AS3. The 2 main problems I have is to get the random number to be from negative 1 to 1 and for the squares to move straight and notgenerate a new direction on every frame. I'm not going to show any code cause it's just edited from tutorials and I don't understand half of it and looks terrible.
View 2 Repliesso i have a project where i will be making a website. I will be using flash to make it interactive and visually appealing. I found a website with a really cool entrance page,please view it he mouse moves, the background looks like its moving.
View 3 RepliesMy situation: I have a looping animation that contains multiple keyframes, and each keyframe contains a movieclip symbol I want to apply a color transformation to through actionscript.When I apply the color transformation once to the symbol, it works the first time around. But when the animation loops and plays again, the color transformation is gone.If I apply the color transformation at every keyframe each time in code, I can only display a few instances of the animation before the FPS suffers. Is there an efficient way to apply a color transformation once and have it stick?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a walking animation for a character with customizable parts. I can't seem to get this code to work correctly:
[Code]...
playerStance defines if the character is idle or walking, in this case walkingchar is a MC containing 2 frames : idle and walk (the frames contain MC:s for the current animation, in this case charwalk)charwalk contains 2 keyframes and the others are filler frames, the keyframes in this case are 1 and 16charwalk contains layers for all of the character parts, for example bottom1 (is located in frame 1)all of the parts contain frames for every variation of that partin every frame of the parts is a code : stop(); to prevent them from playing when I gotoAndPlay charwalkWhen I play this and update the parts after changing parameters, the algorithm returns a right value, but the parts don't go to the correct frames. Instead they are kept in the first frame.
i am encounting a problem where my text moves up and down as the animation is running. I have embeded my fonts for readibility, even for animation, actually i have tried almost everything and sometimes it still jumps.
I have been looking all over the place and cannot find a proper solution.
I have created an animation by making a series of frames. So now I have a FLA file with the frames in.So far, so good.I can export this as a movie and create a SWF file.I can use this SWF file in a HTML document and get it to display in the browser.This is where I hit a brick wall. I have done a lot of searches but I am getting something wrong. I need to adjust this FLA/SWF so that in the HTML file, when the SWF is first loaded it does not play. If the mouse moves over the object it starts/continues playing. If the mouse moves away it stops playing.
View 12 RepliesI have two animations on the timeline- one from say frame a to b and second from frame c to d. I would like the first animation to loop indefinitely till mouse moves over it, which triggers the second animation to start and loop until mouse it moved away.
View 3 RepliesI found an old post from January that suggested saving the original image as an SWF via Illustrator. I tried it, but my clip is still registering clicks in transparent areas.
Here's a link. [URL]
All I'm trying to do is allow the drawing to be dragged around the screen, but I don't want it to be clickable in the transparent areas where the green background shows through.
how to eliminate the pale cast that the transparent areas are making? The background to the drawing shows totally transparent in Photoshop, but the boundaries of the movie are visible because the supposedly transparent areas of the movie are slightly masking the background.
I am trying to build a game just for fun and i found something interesting that i really don't know how to do, so any help that you can give me is going to be useful, this is what i need to do, i have a movie clip and i want to subtract another one from just like THIS i can detect the contact but i don't know how to do that.
View 8 RepliesI was wondering if anybody knew of any technique where i can zoom in and zoom out to certain parts of a movie clip? Im not talking about a map or image zoom component. What im trying to do is a website where you see the "big picture" and depending on which section you want to go to, the movie zooms in to part of the "big picture" and content will load.
View 5 RepliesSuppose a MovieClip in as3 call myClip is 100 frames long and has labels at the following frames:0-start; 25-early; 50-mid; 75-late; 100-endCan someone explain (either using regular AS3 or with Greensock's TweenMax or TimelineMax) how to make my myClip play frames 0 to 25 then back to 0 again, and frames 100 to 75 and back to 100, Ideally would be able to loop over those ranges during a mouse ROLL_OVER event.
View 4 RepliesI've just learned the basics of programmatic animation in Actionscript 3.0 but I can't seem to think of the right solution for this problem.Here is what I'm trying to do: A ball moves at a certain speed from the left of the screen to the right end. If there's a box in the way, it keeps bumping into it until the box breaks and it continues moving forward.The box will have a set weight that will control how much it slides when it is bumped by the ball. The ball will be pushed back a bit when it bumps the box.I have a very specific idea and all I need is a little help starting. How would you tackle this problem?
View 4 Replieswhat i have is a tween on a movie clip of a popcorn kernel on one layer and a tween on a button on another layer to follow the movie clip. i want to be able to roll over the kernel and make it "pop". i changed my over on the button to popped corn (this works) but i want it to stay popped for the rest of the tween.

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 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 have a movieclip that moves on the X axis. Thing is, I need to make certain areas of it clickable... I have already tried a couple of things but didn't succeed.
View 1 Repliesi have this prototype where i send this mc to certain x position. But when i try to send TWO mcs at the same time it only sends the last one. What to do for it to work on two mcs at the same time?
here is the prototype:
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.moveOut= function ( mc, endX ){
speed = 5;
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
[Code]....
[Code]...
the preceding works exactly as i want it to.. the catch is, it only does so in it's own swf.. meaning, i want to use it as an external swf embedded in another movie... when it's on it's own, the panning will stop if the edge of mc hits the border, when it's called externally the panning won't stop!
i feel like i've tried everything i can (obviously not!).. where you see 521 and 315 there WAS Stage.width/height and that code was on the external swf itself, in an attempt to stop the panning when it should i tried putting the code in the parent movie and changing some variables, which worked the same with no avail.
here's a link if my babbling wasn't clear enough: [URL] also.. i would like for it to pan only if the mouse moves over the panning clip, it currently pans based on where the mouse is over the parent movie.. i've made multiple attempts at changing this as well, with no luck.
I am trying to make a flash game for a website. In the game, there is a large interactive map which I created. The map is supposed to scroll just by moving the mouse.
As a placeholder for the map, an ex-coworker created a gradient background, which moves along with the mouse. Here is the AS.
// Width and height of image
var w = Stage.width * 2;
var h = Stage.height * 2;
// Mock up graphic that will be the image
[Code].....
how to make the MC move and pan along with the mouse? Even if it is a completely different code?
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 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?
