ActionScript 2.0 :: Get Rid Of 'ghost' Of Animation
Aug 7, 2003
The code below creates a grid fade effect when put on a blank key frame of the main timeline and when a MC is given an identifier of 'cube' in the linkage section of the 'create new symbol' dialog box.what i can't work out is how to get rid of the 'ghost' of the animation once it has completed its effect, in fact is it at all possible to get rid of the ghost??[code]
I have the code below which rotates a MC and fades it in to 100alpha and then fades it out again to 0 alpha. bearing in mind that all this happens on one frame, is there a way to get rid of the ghost image of the MC once the alpha gets down to 0?
I've tried to achieve this at the foot of this code with the removeMovieClip() but it doesn't seem to work.I know i could just let the timeline play to another frame once the animation is over to get rid of the ghost image but i'd really like to keep the animation to just the one frame...
I have a simple Flex RTMFP P2P video app in the same mold as the Adobe Cirrus VideoPhone Sample application. A problem I've been encountering in developing this app (the same problem occurs in the sample) is when you try to connect to a ghost Stratus instance i.e you try to call someone whose Stratus id is in the database but who is no longer on the page. So here's an example of what I mean:Let's say you go to the Adobe Stratus sample and connect as Dan. Then open up a new tab, go to the sample again and connect as Fred. If from this point, you (as Fred) call Dan everything will work fine. But, if you close the tab in which you connected as Dan, and then from the Fred tab try to connect to Dan the program will just hang.
I would have thought there would be a NetStream event that would be triggered if you tried to connect to a Stratus instance that is not longer online but I can't seem to find anything besides NetStream.Connect.Rejected which doesn't seem to be called.
I'm working on a project which uses timline animation. The animated objects are involved in a collision detection script.
When they collide with other objects, their timelines are told to stop() and they're removed using removeChild. At this point they have a value of null (I've tested this.)
Strangely however, they invisibly re-instantiat themselves when the timeline animation loops back to frame 1. There's no code telling them to play anywhere in the program. They still have null values, but their collsion code still affects other objects.
have created a gallery which has a button behind it so that you cant press any of the stuff behind it. Which all works. However, when I put it in html it only covers my flash movie and not the whole page which is really what I want.
i am using the createtextfield method to create textfields in my swf, but i can't see them i can copy paste the content of them, and the things related to them work properly, but they won't appear in my swf. i thought they were underneath some image, but when i switch off (_alpha=0) the image, there is nothing. i also have an attachmovie in the same movieclip i create textfileds in, but the clip attached is visible.here's the code i am using:
I am trying to export a flash animation as a mov, so i can convert it for html5. When I export the movie, the animation has artifacts in it, strange things do not erase correctly, they do not show when i view it in Flash, or when I view the exported flv file.
So as you can see, there is a 1/2 drawn image. They round things are floating down, but for some reason, as they float down to stack, they leave behind some partial images.
I have a solitaire game. There's a bug that only shows up in Windows, not Mac. When a player moves a card from one pile to another, a copy of the card image shows up in the left corner and stays there until the player moves another card. When the player moves the mouse over the image the image erases. Here is the game: [URL]

how to make moving objects leave a "ghost" impression of itself behind that automatically shrinks and turns invisible. I've managed to get the original particles to drop, but now I'm looking for a way to get the particles to actually leave disappearing non-moving prints behind them.
I have a movieclip that shows an animation onRollOver and an animation on RollOut but onRelease the animation enlarge itselfs but now when I'll roll out when the animation isn't open (so i didn't release) the animation plays the animation for the minimizing of the animation. Here's my code (I know its a bit amateuristic but I'm not a programmer )
ok lets say you create a button that when held down play an animation of 20 frames if realsed it goes to frame one and stops if held down it plays out this animation. for the topic lets say you have a fire animation and you want the fire to apear and if the user hold its down the animation reaches the end of the time line and loops back and plays the last 5 frames of the animation and as soon as it is let go it goes to and stops at frame one. Well i know how to make a button that when held down plays out an animation. And i know how to say when released goes to and stops at frame one. What i dont know how to do is to loop the fire at the last 5 or 6 frames so the user can hold it down all day long and play out that animation.
Ok when you press link one it olads great! when i press link 2, it plays the closing animation, but not the entire animation, thats the problem.My closing animation is a red square going from one end to another ( for the hell of it).But you see content number two will load b4 the red square gets all the way across!!
Now I have 2 movieclip. Mc1 & mc2. I planned to to make mc2 do certain animation and user must input the key within the progress animation of the mc2 in order prevent something happen
so I have a looping animation that is several frames long. Inside the animation is a button, when pressed I want to go to another part of the timeline, where another animation is waiting. Simple, I got that working no problem. But... I need the first animation to go to the last frame in the loop before starting the next animation. The way I have it now makes an ugly cut, and the transition between animations isn't seamless.
I have a certain set of motion twains that I've successfuly completed, they constantly loop right now (default), and is saved in the SWF file.I'd like to take that finished looping animation, and insert it within another animation (a) that can be played with a play button, and stopped/resetted with a stop button.How do I insert the completed looping animation into the main animation? And is there something special I have to do in the actionscript of the start and stop buttons so that the "inner" looping animation will start and stop with the "outer" main animation?
I have created two buttons (Button1 and Button2). When you click Button1, an animation pops up. You click on the animation to close it - that works fine. If I then click on Button1 again to replay the animation, the animation does not show. If I click on Button2 THEN go back to click on Button1, the animation plays. Why can I not click that same button twice in a row? What am I doing wrong?
im trying to do is have a button that shows an animation (created by a duplicateMovieClip function) with onRollOver and stops the animation with onRollOut. It works when i roll over and it stops when i roll out, but then it continues in a loop up to the point where i rolled out (instead of cutting off completely as i would like). Id be extremely grateful if you could tell me where im going wrong.
i have a over and out animation but i only want to play the out animation when the over animation has completely finished and the same with out animation. i have this code
I was able to create an animation which only runs when I place my cursor over the animation box.The animation stops playing when I remove the cursor off the animation box.I was able to do this using button rollovers.How do I apply a URL link to this animation.When I place my curser over the animation box it plays,and when I click on the animation box I would like it to link to a web page.
On a horizontal bar, text scrolls from left to right, continuously. The text is a fixed string of city names, and I've made it so that it loops nicely. This horizontal bar with scrolling text is part of a vertical animation, scrolling the bar in and out of view. The vertical tween starts after two seconds. When the vertical tween starts, the horizontal animation has started as well. At the beginning and end of the vertical tween, the horizontal tween starts over. I want it to continu.
I have an 2 animations that I need to syncronize. The first animation is a projector screen entering stage, the second is few text layers and images. I timed the second animation 2.2 sec after the screen animation starts (using timer event) and it worked. When I tested it in other computers and on the internet the screen movment was much slower so the second animation entered the stage too fast.
I want to order the second animation to enter only when the projector screen reach it's destination on stage. The screen animations has 2 parts, in animation and out animation connected by a stop(); commend in the middle.
After reading some articles about increasing performance, I read that if you would cache your movieclip animation to a sequence of bitmaps, that this would be much faster. So after spending lots of hours I created a bitmap animation class that converts a movieclip to a bitmapanimation.When I completed it, and did a performance test with about 40 movieclips on a stage size of (1024x900) and set the frameRate to 100 fpsIt runned on 58 frames per second. (30 mb memory) But when I tested it without converting it to bitmaps by doing it the old and simple way of adding the movieclip dynamically on the stage withalso 40 movieclips, it runned even better (61 fps). (4mb) And it did not use so much memory as the bitmap approach was doing.
Then I thought perhaps I was doing something wrong with convertinh to Bitmaps, and found on the internet also a Bitmap Animation Class, and after testing this one, I got the same result. It seems to run faster if you don't convert it to a bitmap sequence.I only have experienced negative points, like slower framerates, using more memory, and the prerendering causes a calculation performance pause when compileing. (this is even with the fix to pass the already rendered frames of the movieclip to the next bitmap animatioin class) I am now confused of what is the best way of creating better pefromance when using the same movieclip animation (like 80 times at once).
I need to do a good animation for school to pass my subject and I have done several animations. I thought maybe I do an animation with different choices. Basically you have the "Home" Screen and then you chose one and an animation is been played. Then when I press another button, a different animations is being played.
I have several MCs on the stage. Each have a basic animation. They have a button embedded so I can click on them. When I click on the first MC it starts animating. When I click on another MC I need the first animation to stop. Is there a stop command I can put in there that stops the other animation before starting its animation?
Note: I am only using the Flash animation in IE only as I created an equivalent, jQuery based animation for all other browsers (because, surprise, IE didn't handle the jQuery version).look at this in IE only.The Problemhen you hover over the dropdown menus, the Flash animation temporarily "freezes" and the continues. This causes choppy behavior in the Flash animation.
Okay, now things are getting a little complicated. I need to build a Flash object that can sit over the corner of an image to serve extra content. It's way beyond my Flash skill level, my work is usually limited to print work in Photoshop and Illustrator so please excuse me if any of the following isn't clear. I am trying to learn though, So this is how it's all supposed to work, along with my issues; When the image & Flash item load a small looping animation will play to draw the eye/show the item as interactive.
When the user rolls over this the corner will peelback. I have a working peelback animation for the rollover, that reacts to mouse over/mouse off, and a looping animation for the initial, but I cannot work out how to make the initial loop until mouseover, then play the peelback when the mouse is over. And go back to the initial animation loop if the user rolls off. (Each of these animations is stored as a movie clip in the Library) Then it gets more complicated... if the user stays on the corner until it is fully peeled back I need to make a small countdown (sort of a 3, 2, 1 situation) show, before launching a lightbox (would this have to be jQuery, or could it be done in Flash?) in the browser to serve the content.
