So i have a menu. The menu consists of 5 menuitems. When a menuitem is selected it has a gray background. This gray background will animate smoothly between the menuitems on selection. I have a movie clip of this node morphing through 5 keyframes to each menuitem. [URL] What i'm wondering is: Is there an easy way to dynamically tween between two frames, prefferably with some easing in/out.
View 0 RepliesI have a simple classic tween, showing a piece of paper coming out of a printer. Simple enough, right? Here is a diagram. The motion goes like this, with ease in and ease out. [X] is a keyframe.
[x] -100 --> [X] +100 --> [X]
When I copy the frames and paste them into a new document, the piece of paper "jumps" and the tween is not calculated. It's mangled.
I hav created 24 frames (i use 24fps) by hand depicting a small move.Now I need to repeat this move for 1 minute and move it from left to right through the screen.is there a way to avoid copying-pasting these 24 frames and chaning them a little to the others 59 seconds by using motion tween?So, iam looking for a way to combine both the 24 frames and apply motion tween to them.
View 2 Repliesi am on a timeline on frame 10 with a stop ,,,, i want to play frame 11 to remove ( play out movie clip) the movie clip using time line tween and the go to frame 20 and play the next movie clip and stop at frame 25 .so far i can get to the frames to start the tweens with
function onHomeClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndStop("somos");
but then before going to next frame will like to play the one i am out and then go to the next one ,
By default when I create a new motion tween, it automatically comprises all frames on the layer I want only a 72-frame tween, not a 350-frame tween.
View 2 RepliesWhen creating an animation with a classic tween sometimes I'd have to adjust all frames based on changing stage size and what have you. I'd usually park animations in mc's but even then I'd have to on occasion move the whole animation as whole, using the Edit Multiple Frames button on the Timeline. This is also needed when repurposing Flash ads for different sizes. Sometimes I have to adjust a few layers and leave some layers alone, again for Flash ads and alike.
When using a Motion or 3D tween I wanted to know if this was possible, not because I have a particular scenario but I wanted to see if I could do this in the event of needing to do so one day. I tried this feature and I was unable to move the whole animation as I would with a Classic Tween. The only thing I could do to achieve this was to park the Motion/3D tween into it's own mc and then drop that mc on the stage and move the mc as a whole. Is there any way to select all frames of the Motion Tween and move it as a whole without resorting to putting it in a mc (even though I get that it should always exist in a mc)?
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.
View 8 RepliesI havve accidently created extra unneeded key frames in a layer, in the middle of motion tween. I was wondering how to change these keyframes, without deleting them so not to change the length?

I m new to actionscript 2.0 and flash cs3 (on which the team was working before). I have managed to learn basics (though not completely) of flash and AS2. Our project is about creating an e-learning tool that will enable the students to improve their english grammar skills through different lessons e.g noun, adjective verb etc.
i m trying to write a generic code that, after completion, should work for around 40 lessons in the entire tool. making 1 main.fla that should work for all lessons, seems interesting but a challenging job. i can not find any thread or blog that wud tell me CAN I COUNT THE NUMBER OF SCREENS IN MY LESSON AND THEN AT RUN TIME MY main.fla SHOULD HAVE THAT MANY FRAMES. i will try to explain this through an example: in noun.xml, i calculated 30 screens, so i need 30 frames for noun.xml....whereas if in adjective.xml, i have 50 screens, i should have 50 frames......therefore, i need to calculate the number of screens in my lesson, and then dynamically insert that many frams in my application, can i do that...
I'm querying the Rotten Tomatoes API for Upcoming Movies. For each movie returned, I'm creating an instance of MovieIcon (MC). I'm then adding this MC as a child of a Container MovieClip that's already on the scene. Each time, I'm incrementing the xPosition of each MovieIcon MC such that, they're positioned next to each other.My container MC has a mask applied to it, therefore any child objects that are positioned beyond the size of the mask, they're are hidden from view. How can I dynamically add a tween/easing animation between all these MovieIcon MC's so that when I hover over the Container MC, it 'scrolls' left or right, depending on the mouse motion?

I have a working AS2 banner that loads in an array of images into a movieclip using flashvars and then cycles through these (there's no limit on the array length).
Unforunately, the images couldn't alpha tween into eachother as the AS2 script needs to be seperated onto sperate keyframes in order to count through the array.
I've created another movieclip which loads in the 'next' image in the array, so that when the current image fades down, the next fades up.
So to break down:
bannerContainer_mc - loads current image
nextContainer_mc - loads next image
Unfortunately when the timeline loops to the start again, bannerContainer_mc loads in the image which was previously loaded into nextContainer_mc. This creates a 'jolt' in the animation as the same image is re-loaded.
Is there any way of perhaps caching nextContainer_mc at the end of the banner sequence, to save loading it again in bannerContainer_mc?
I have a flash project where different movie clips are loaded dynamically according to the data retrieved from an XML file. And they are positioned one after the other as if they were in a menu. Inside those movieclips there is a button that when it's triggered unloads the movieclip so it disappears from the menu/list. Apart from that, I would like the rest of the attached movie clips to tween and move upwards, so the list keeps its form. I'm finding quite difficult figuring out this function. I'm copying the code I'm using :
Code:
var numOfItems: Number;
var i: Number;

way to add more time in between the keyframes when you are using the "create motion tween" tween. For example I have a simple animation, an object floating up, it pauses for a second, then goes to the right. Say I finish tweening the animation, I then want the object to take more time moving to the right. So pretty much i want to add more frames inbetween those two keyframes. In a classic tween, I would select the frames in between and hit f5 a few times to lenhthen it. How can I do that using the new tweening method?

I'm trying to dynamically addChild a Sprite to an already tweened MovieClip (tweened on the Flash timeline).
Let's say ObjectA is the tweened object, I published it in my swc and linked it to my Actionscript project in Flash Builder. I make an instance of ObjectA in my class, and then try to do the following:
var objectA:ObjectA = new ObjectA();
var objectB:ObjectB = new ObjectB();
objectA.addChild(objectB);
addChild(objectA);
Now, the problem is, objectB doesn't tween along with objectA. Is there any logical solution to this?
I want to create a preloader that plays a certain amount of frames as it loads the rest of the frames. So, I have labels on the frames basically and need a preloader to play the "loading" frames as it is loading the "content" frames. Does that make sense? I have no idea how to even start this one... p.s. I am using AS 2.0, but if it can be done in 3.0 easier, I can switch over its no biggie
View 4 Repliesthere seems to be no accepted method of playing multiple flv using buttons. My latest attempt has me putting multiple instances of the flvPlayback component in different frames and using buttons to navigate to those frames. It works but nothing anyone has posted anywhere will result in removing the flv when you go to a different frame and instance. This was simple in AS2. Load movie to a traget and each time you load a new movie the other one goes away. REALLY goes away.

I have to place the incrementCount(): function every 12 frames so that it increments the values. Seems like it would be easier to simply modify the script to count "every 12 frames" but I can't find anything that tells me how to "count frames" in flash. Seems to be this is probably basic but I've searched unsuccessfully....so how do you do this. How do I get my script to work so it's frame based so I don't have to put incrementCount() every 12 frames?
Is it possible to have an movieclip of about 50 frames and navigate between these 50 frames?
