Are there scripts available to automatically animate texts in flash to avoid manual animating such as these:
http:[url]....Are there also other automated scripts related to text?
i am trying to get some texts from an XML file onto a text field and animate it.I am able to get the texts on to the text field but unable to animate it.I believe I have to convert it to a symbol in order to achieve this job.But,I don't know how to do that using Actionscript.
View 10 RepliesI have a text box that is about 300 pixels wide and can't be any wider. I also have a lot of text, so wordWrap and multiline are set to true. Works great! Only problem is that the text wrapping creates a lot of unused white space in the right margin of the box. This white space takes up a lot of room and looks kind of rough.
Is it possible to have Flash automatically hyphenate the text in the box to avoid the big white spaces along the right edge of the box?
I purchased a template from template monster that has a Flash Intro. It has a header with a previous and next button and three photos.When the site loads up the first photo drops into place and text flies out from the sides of the photo then when you hit the next button the next photo drops in with its text and so on.I was able to change the photos and text and all works fine. What I want is for the banner to automatically rotate these three images and texts every 4 seconds or when someone hits those next or previous buttons.
Right now the images/text only move if you hit the next or previous buttons. In dreamweaver I set the Flash to autoplay and loop but that did nothting.
I want to create a news bulliten in my website. I'm talking about a small 200*200 pixel box, where the user see's news coming from down to up. Of cours i can use a primitive way editing the flash file whenever News are fed but i want to do this just by editing a text file which will contain the news and the flesh box will automaticly take the text and animate it.
View 2 RepliesI have a .swf in my rails application, located here:
/public/bin/editor/Editor.swf
It works fine, with one flaw, it gets cached often, so when we release a new version we are usually needing to tell the customers to clear their cache when they experience issues. My question is, how could I force the .swf to break cache when I release a new version? Something like:
/public/bin/editor/Editor.swf?timestamp=124158512132
I tried the above, but it did not seem to work.
I was wondering is there a difference between the processor usage when using tweenlite or animating the same clip manually? Considering it's vectors and also dynamic text with it.
Similarly, if we animate manually or copy the code snippet produced by that animation. Would that make a difference on the CPU usage?
need a logia something like to paint some Objects: simply put some MCs. When the Mcs (are out of the Box range) and neat its easy to colour. see the Zip files attached:
Please see: paint_Non_Overlaping_MC_Works.fla paint_Non_Overlaping_MC_Works.swf When the Movie clips are overlapping or one placed above the other MC the objects are hard to paint. It Recognizes the Obeject as One, the Imported png converted to a MC. Please see: paint_Overlaping_MC_Not_Works.fla paint_Overlaping_MC_Not_Works.swf
Is there a possibility to make this work, like to make the MC Highlight on Mouse over and distinguish the objects when Overlapping? That's to say to colour the MCs when overlapping? What initially came to my mind is when mouse over the MC's to highlight so that we can drop the colour on it. In the ZIp file contains all the as2 codes.

View 2 RepliesI attempted to update to 4.0.1, there was some kind of error and now many things are messed up. Essentially because of missing DLLs, the irony being that I figured out the problem and it wasn't related to the update at all. Is there any way that I can revert back to version 4.0.0 manually? Because I still have the 4.0.0 folder with all the required dlls and such..
View 1 RepliesI have an XML list that I need to sometimes sort manually, is that possible?So I have a main navigation system of tabs, (All Projects, Web Sites, Logos and Presentations)When the user clicks a tab say "Logos" on the main navigation system it filters the XML pages to show just the projects that have say Logos.Then the user selects one project and sees the details for that project, a large image with sub nav on the left built from the XML you see down below.This works.What I would like to do now is change the order that my XML buttons appear in the sub nav depending on what main nav tab they have clicked.Say they click "logos" I want the logo links will appear before the web site links.[code]
View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip, a square, which I would like to have moving around on stage, avoiding the mouse if you "chase" the movieclip. all the threads I have found have been with Actionscript 1.0 or 2.0. I tried converting it to AS3, but failed.
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, avoidTouch);
function avoidTouch(event:Event):void {
var distx: int = noTouch_mc.x - mouseX;
[code]....
Im stuck. I want to make it calculate the distance from the mouse to the NoTouch_mc and if it gets below a certain number, make the noTouch_mc move away from the mouse.If it could be made so it never leaves stage, that I'd like to incorporate too, but wouldn't I have to consider sinus and cosinus to an angle to make it turn?

View 2 RepliesI have imported the gif which has now split into different snapshot screens of each frame.Down the right hand side I can see "draw" tools which I want to use to edit the clip. When I click on a tool like a paintbrush then I click on a frame to paint on the frame...... it doesn't let me do it. It lets me draw, but when I release my finger off the mouse it dissapears.

View 8 RepliesI just trying to learn basic flash programming skills, now I got a program that load an image from my local machine, and show it with uiloader component, code is something like:
var myImage:String = "picture.png"
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(myImage);
uiLoader.load(request);
It's working fine, but when dynamically change the picture, I notice a flicker while loading, there is any way to avoid this flicker? i mean, like double-buffering or so.
Coming from a more'traditional' C++ background so more used to dealing with low level API's rather than something like the flash.display API.How does one avoid screen tearing/flickering in the display API?Even with a high framerate like 60 fps I'm experiencing some rather nasty flickering/tearing between frames.Take the simplistic example below, where the children of the Sprite are merely instances of Shape and never change.
private function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void
{
var t:Number = (getTimer() - time) / 1000;
time = getTimer();
I have to display a multitude of labels on-screen without overlap.The label positions should be as close as possible to the features they describe. The features may be points, lines, or polygons on-screen (imagine any variety of map).I have to satisfy the following requirements in my application:labels must be positioned to avoid overposting (overlap) with other labels..labels must be positioned to avoid overlapping with other features (polygons and line segments) optimum position for a label is above and to the right of the feature they describe below and to the right is less acceptable least acceptable positions are to the left.I need to come up with a method for doing this.Before I just start attempting to do this at random, I am hoping someone here may have already done this and be able to give me some advice as to where to start.Basically, with the labels, I could use bounding boxes to compare them to each other. Although I don't know a good way to do this. With the line segments and polygons onscreen that they are labeling, I really don't have a clue what I should do to avoid overlap. I am hoping it won't require much more effort on top of avoiding the overlap of the labels themselves.
I think repulsion would work if I only had to deal with labels overlapping other labels. But if I have a line segment drawn across half the screen, I don't know how I can avoid overlap with that using the repulsion technique.The language I am using is Actionscript 3 and the Flex framework. I don't believe Flex has any layout manager classes like there are in Java Spring that can do this work for me.Anyway, links or suggestions would be welcome. I can allow for some brute force; I don't see how I can accomplish this otherwise.

View 4 RepliesI have a numericStepper that has a change" listener that works just fine when using the up/down keys on the stepper (I can retrieve the value of the numericStepper). However, if the user manually types in a value and then clicks away from the stepper,From researching the web, I know that the "change" event is only activated via the up/down arrows on the numericStepper OR when the user presses the enter key in the numericStepper text field.y problem, I cannot retrieve the manual value typed into the numericStepper.The ".value" property always contains the last value set by the up/down arrows or pressing Enter

I've made my slideshow and 'next' and 'previous' buttons to navigate through them. But as I have 89 images I want to be able to jump to a specific number. I.e. In a box I type '50' and that will jump to image number 50 and saves me having to click 50 times.I haven't seen this be done on any tutorials and not sure on how to go about it. The images are in a seperate folder and an XML files is used to call them in. So is it just a question of assigning a value to each entry and calling that when the relevant number has been clicked?
