ActionScript 2.0 :: Display Animation Based On How Much Data Has Downloaded
Sep 15, 2006
I have a question regarding preloaders.I am wondering if someone could help me figure out how to display an animation based on how much data has downloaded.For example.I have a preloader, it gets to 10% or xxx bytes loaded, I want a movie clip to play (or whatever, sparks to fly, etc.), then at 20% or zzz bytes, another movie clip plays (or again, something else happens).So basically I want the movie to react to how much of it has been downloaded.A real world example of this that I can find quick is.url...(ya ya, everyone uses this as their example).The loader seems to animate based on how much of the movie has actually loaded.play an animation, movie clip, etc based on how many bytes/percent, has loaded.

Is it possible for recent versions of flash to directly (or thru Php) access (& update) data from a mysql database and display results based on the data?
So if my database were like this (math scores):User 13Jerry | 20Kane | 7 the flash output would be a bar graph like this (those hyphens would be bars in flash)
Is this possible these days? Google analytics does something like similar to this.
I last used flash somewhere in 2003/4. Never after that :-) I've completely lost touch.

I just discovered impure.com and was very impressed by what can be achieved in terms of visualizing data using their workspace. Although the platform is free to use, but not open source yet. This causes a few problems because the API section works with .com sites for eg. for ebay, so I cannot visualize ebay listings for regional sites such as ebay.in because the link to ebay.com is hardcoded.I searched around, but didn't find other projects that offer a similar way to work with site APIs and other data sources with the kind of user interface and detail that impure.com does in a realtime way within a browser window.This brings me to the questions:
-What technologies would be involved in creating a similar kind of project
-What are the open source tools that can help develop a fullscreen UI to render the workspace. Are there any alternatives to flash for this, and how do they compare
The goal would be to use standard python data structures, python scripts to do some processing on these data structures, scripts to gather data from csv, json and API sources such as google yahoo, wikipedia and flickr, and scripts to render graphs, tag clouds, network visualizations etc. Then bring them all together into a visual interface that supports drag drop and simple type checking.How would the python backend integrate with the UI.

This is the edit to my question. There is quite a bit of code here, but the problem area is below the second set of three line comments. I stuck the rest in just in case I'm completely wrong about where the problem is. With the "if" statement I can display fine in a run, but not in debug. If I get rid of the conditional it runs fine in debug, but not in a regular run. These errors only occur on the first run of the quiz. In either mode it runs fine fi I take a second quiz.

I have been goggling a lot to find anything with link-based data visualization in Flex 4. something like below screen shoot (made using Ravis). Where user can drag these nodes, without removing the links and on double click of any node we can set some properties for that particular node. I found this Ravis (Birdeye), but not much of examples and support is available for that.

I have a flash animation I'm working on for a Web site and the java-based menu that's above it uses drop-down menus. Well, when the drop-down menus and the flash animation overlap, all you can see is the flash. The menu is behind it. This only happens on a PC-based browser. It is fine on a Mac. Any thoughts here? Any settings I'm missing here? The file is built in Flash CS4 using ActionScript 3.0. Here's the URL for the site (problem on home page when "Resources" menu drops down):

I feel this could be pretty basic for you guys. Here's the deal: I need an external swf to check a var's value and decide how to animate. If value == "something" then animate in like this, else, animate in like that. Now, a file is loaded with LoadManager class, and a function from this class sends a string to the loaded swf, and based on that string it animates out. I've tried to make the same function set a public var's value inside the LoadMangaer class, but i can't acces it from the external swf.
It will probably make sence when you look at the fla and the LoadManager class, so here's the attachment.Hope you can help, I've been dwelling on this for ages. Tnx a million.

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to display a specific image based on the current date? for example, say I have something for sale 7 seven days, and I want to create an animation of images with numbers, countdown from 7 to 1, and have it stop on the number of days left.
The only place i've seen something like this is here
on the right side, just above the dark grey bar, a little calendar flash loads in and animates.

I want to separate the data from the PHP call to Different CollectionArrays So that I can use the data for a bar-graph;
I created a static version of the bar-graph and separated the Collection array manually I don't want this done manually I need to do it dynamically. So what I am trying to understand is where to put the event-listener how to add to a collectionArray then once the collection array(s) are built. use that information to build the bar graphs...

Try to wrap my head around why sometimes a timeline base animation will run choppy in some browsers. Is it processor speed vs frame rate. I boosted my framerate to 29.97 but on older computers the animation is very arthritic.

How to create some action script that will display either an image or a SWF based on the time of day ie. Day and Night and the seasons ie. Winter, Summer, Spring, Fall.
I know it has something to do with creating a file that is .as and making sure you have the correct class Id. Looked at a few tutorials on creating calenders and image galleries but can not figure out how to combine the two to just show the image or SWF.

I have a project which consists of 4 frames (+ one starting frame), where each frame contains a Timer class based-animation. You can visit each frame by selecting the appropriate button.
Let's say the animation in frame1 lasts for a total of 30 seconds, but I'm too impatient to watch it and decide to go frame2, which also I don't like. In the background however, the animation for frame1 is still running, for when I go to frame 2 and go back to frame1, the animation starts both from the beginning and also continues to play from where I left off.
I also get an error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Kan geen eigenschap of methode benaderen via een verwijzing naar een object dat null is.

I have an interface file, which allows the user to drag mc's onto the stage and save their xy position in accordance to a position on a timeline. For example, mc1 is at x50, y50 at timeline position 1.
I am using an array to save all parameters. When the user is finished they can click play to view an animation of the mc's moving about the stage.
I want a button which will somehow save this animation into an external swf. This swf needs to be independent as it will be loaded onto a website.
I have tried to figure this out in many ways. I am new to actionscript but slowlly getting there.
I have looked into using a shared object, to save the xy positions etc which are then loaded into the swf2. The problem with this, is the swf2 is dependent on the SO plus the SO is temporary. I need to be able to hand swf2 over to the guy to put on his website.
I have also looked into using an intermediate .as code file. I have worked out how to put an mc onto swf2 using the graphic held in the interfaces library. I started working out how to click a button on the interface swf which then attaches the mc into swf2.. but then I realised swf2 still isnt independent.
Now I am completely pulling my hair out. This thing is due soon and I am out of ideas.
Failing everything I thought I could just use a capturing software to record the animation as it plays... but with all the time I have spent on this and how far I have come in actionscript it is annoying that I cant work this out.

What I am trying to do is get the animation of the audio levels (red bars next to the power switch) to only happen while a video is actually playing (videos are in the video gallery section). I have the animation done and I can easily get it to start and stop based on pressing the play and stop buttons, but since they start and pause the video you would get instances where the video isn't playing but the audio levels would be animated, which I don't want.
Here is an example of the code in the play button (using NetConnection and NetStream to play the videos):
Code:
play_btn.onPress = function() {
playSound.start();
infoText_txt.text = "PLAY";
my_ns.pause(spotToPlay);
};
The only way I can think to make it work exactly as I want it is to have Flash look to see if the video is actually playing or not and I can't figure out how to do this or if its even possible using the NetStream command I am using to start and stop the videos.

I recently got back into animating and I need some help with my latest project. I have a number of different animations that I would like to be played on the inside of a tv, however I would like for these animations to play at certain times. For example, at 9:00 pm (real time) the tv displays the animation of the character sleeping. I'm not sure how to do this, and I'm not sure if I need an internal clock.

We have made a dynamic image animation using xml. We are attaching the source code herewith. At present, when you place your mouse over the images, the animation will start backwards. I.e., it will reverse the way the images are loading.
We want this animation order (normal and reverse) to control based on the mouse movement. By default, now the images are animating in one direction. That is fine now. But, we want the animation should get reversed when you place your mouse at bottom of the page. And again when you move the cursor towards top of the page, animation should again start as normal (vice versa).
how we can achieve this task using mouse placement?

I have 4 animations and based on the speed of the internet i want it to change between each depending on the speed.
e.g...
0 - 10kb/ps - 1st MC
11 - 30kb/ps - 2nd MC
31 - 50kb/ps - 3rd MC
50+ - 4th MC
My idea is to have like a glass of water... and for the 1st MC the water filling it up is only a drip... and then 2nd MC is a slow stream of water etc etc and then final MC is water gushing in filling the cup up faster until it's full...
I think this might be a bit hard for me... as i can't even make a preloader... everytime i try the SWF file just stays blank until it's fully loaded... haha... but i'll read tutorials and stuff... i'm rather basic with Flash and just learn what i need to learn as i get to it... I also need the transition between each change (say from 1-10kbps - 51+) to be smooth rather than just having it going from a drip to gushing water... but i think i'll just have to make animations for each and then IF statements to deal with that issue..

I'm trying to deploy flash e-learning with dynamic content on a content management server. The xml will not display, no matter how many different approaches I take. So I need a method of encapsulating lots of text within Flash and referencing it from say, an actionscript window.
I seems that referecing any outside content, be it an external actionscript file or text file is out, so I'm left with the option of encapsulation.
