Oct 7, 2009I have a fairly decent grasp of flash, but not so much of the action script side of things. I need to make a banner similar to the one featured here:[URL]..
As you can see, the image is jerky and juddery when it scales down. From what I can find out, I think I need to use the pixel snapping feature to help make it a smoother fade, but I haven't got a clue how to write the actionscript for it, or where to put the actionscript. Can anyone give me any pointers?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Bitmap Animation Vs MovieClip Animation
Jun 29, 2011After 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).
ActionScript 2.0 :: SetInterval And Pausing Animation?
Dec 23, 2003I am using this script from Actionscript.org:
[AS]
//In your main "action" timeline, frame 1 put the following code:
////////////////// Pause Function /////////////////////
this.createEmptyMovieClip("timer",50);
[code]....
I have the function written on my main time line but I want to call it from the middle of an animation on a movie clip. I'm not sure how to reference the function on the maintimeline. I've tried referencing the created MC "timer", I've tried referencing _root and other things but nothing seems to work. Basically I have a simple motion tween. I want it to get to a certain point then stop then continue. I have two tweens on one layer in my animated MC. Any suggestions?oh yeah, and I'd like to be able to call the same function from other MCs doing similar things. How can I reference the function?
ActionScript 2.0 :: Scripted Animation With SetInterval?
Apr 8, 2008What I have is actionscript which moves a movieclip from one point of the stage to another, using two buttons to trigger it - fwd_btn and rwd_btn. I also use a setInterval function, so that when you press one of the buttons, it pauses a second before moving. Unfortunately, if you press the fwd and rwd buttons in succession rapidly, the animation gets caught in a never-ending loop.

May 11, 2004I wanted to do a simple blinking-effect for my animations.
Code:
var timeDelay = 2000;
setFrameTimer = function(){
if ( (Math.random(1)*100) > 90 ) {
blink();
}} setInterval (setFrameTimer, timeDelay);
Nice and easy, right, giving the eyes a 10 percent chance of blinking every two seconds. Well, it works nicely in the beginning. But then, after a while, the blinking increases until finally the animations are blinking constantly.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Use The Timer / Setinterval Function To Pause The Animation Between Tweens
May 11, 2009I have been having trouble with the timer, knowing how to plug into the scripts/Functions the correct way. Below is the script (probably not written as efficently as it could be, but I'm trying) Anyway, the script is uses simple tweens for a movieclip. I would like to use the timer/setinterval function to pause the animation between tweens (Using the event listener after the tween stops to start the interval/pause) Is this the right concept or am I barking up the wrong tree.

Flash :: Frame Animation Still Loops Every 2 Seconds, Using SetTimeout Or SetInterval?
Apr 17, 2011I'm using this var timer2 = setTimeout(checkValue2, 2000);
as a frame action in Frame 2, which then triggers checkValue2 which is a piece of function in Frame 1 where all the _global. variables are as well.
clearTimeout(timer2);
gotoAndStop(3); //goto lvl3 - throw
addStage3();
it'd then goto Frame 3, but, the problem is even after clearing, the frame animation still loops every 2 seconds, regardless whether i'm using setTimeout or setInterval. Do you might know of any other way where what I need is, after 2 seconds in Frame 2, it'd then move to Frame 3, which I don't want it to go anywhere yet.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Animation With SetInterval - Move A Movieclip From One Point Of The Stage To Another
Aug 5, 2005What I have is actionscript which moves a movieclip from one point of the stage to another, using two buttons to trigger it - fwd_btn and rwd_btn. I also use a setInterval function, so that when you press one of the buttons, it pauses a second before moving. Unfortunately, if you press the fwd and rwd buttons in succession rapidly, the animation gets caught in a never-ending loop. Also, note that every time the user clicks a button, if the movieclip is right in the middle of animating across the stage, I wish it to stop and pause, not complete the animation and then pause.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Bitmap Blit With CopyPixel And Draw Method - Animation Choppy
Jul 8, 2011My game moves small pieces slowly. I am trying to bitmap blit with either CopyPixels() or Draw() but because the end result always blits to a whole pixel value, the animation looks choppy. Have a look at my test swf where I use a small helicopter, which shows 60fps with very choppy movement. I thought the bitmapData's draw() method would allow me to smooth, but it apparently only smooths changes made by it's matrix argument. My only other resort is to go back to using movieClips with hundreds of frames that represent the various poses.

View 3 RepliesCS3 - Jerky Playback At 2fps
Apr 5, 2010I've set my movie to 2fps so that I can play a note of a musical scale on each frame. Unfortunately, playback at this fps is not as uniform as I'd like and makes the full scale sound rather amateurish. I wonder if there is a way to make flash stick to a solid 2fps? Everytime I play back the slight timing errors are the same so there's a pattern to it's out-of-time-ness. I'd rather not increase the fps as that would require more frames and a larger movie to keep track of/publish but if it's the only solution I may have to. Has anyone else experienced this sort of behaviour?
I've uploaded my .swf here in the hope someone may find it useful: AudioLayer.swf Any tips or suggestions would be most welcome! I've looked everywhere on the web but I can't for the life of me find out why it's happening.

Professional :: Playback Very Jerky At 720p?
May 18, 2011I've got a short animation at 720p - not much going on, just some symbols moving around the screen - but playback in flash player is jerky (more flashy, actually) - not smooth at all.
I've got the latest video drivers for my card, running a dual-core 2.4GHz with 6GB of RAM - my CPU meter says it's having no trouble playing the flash. The video card is an Nvidia quadro NVS 285 (pretty old & crap, but should have no problems).
I don't suppose anyone has got any ideas. I am using FlashEff2 for an effect but the entire animation is jerky, not just the bit with the FlashEff. I would post the fla but I can't see any way to do that on this forum - if anyone would like to see the source, please email me at elliot dot sumner at gmail dot com.

Dec 4, 2007I recently launched a Flash website that has video tutorials synchronized with Flash animations. Overall the site is functioning well, but I have an isolated instance of user having very jerky video with the audio occasionally cutting out.
His connection speed is fine (3572.7 Kbps). When I asked him for details he said the video was jerky from the start, and 'the video cycled from smooth to jerky once every half to a whole second.' He is using Flash player WIN 9.0.28.0, on win XP with all updates. When asked he did not provide the browser version.
Here is a link to the site:
http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com..._Analysis.aspx
The programming is done in AS 2. It's set up using net connection and net stream for flvs hosted on a media server. The flvs have cuepoints to trigger the animations. When a given flv is finished downloading the next flv in the list is then preloaded. The buffer time is set to 6 seconds.
I haven't been able to recreate the problem. The feedback that we've gotten suggests that the site runs fine. If anyone has trouble viewing this please let me know and please provide details.
Media Server :: Client Side Playlist With NetStream.play Using Start Offset Causing Jerky Cuts
Dec 1, 2009I have a series of mp4 videos (H.236 @ 22 fps) streaming from an akamai FMS serve via RTMP protocol in flash player 9+ with AS 3.My goal is to create client side playlists that smoothly switch from one stream to another. I am creating these playlists using a series of netStream. play (filename,start,len) methods. If I don't use an offset for the start parameter, then the stream switches smoothly from one video to the next with not noticeable jump or jerkiness. However if I introduce a start offset, say a few seconds in, I start to see a quick little hiccup or pause between the seams as it switches from one playlist stream to the next.
View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Bitmapdata.hitTest - Bitmap 'emptyBitmap' With Bitmap Data Created
Feb 3, 2009I'm cutting my teeth in actionscript 3 on a game that has a character running through a world. So, I have set up my Hit Testing by using the bitmap data hit test method, since I figured my world is going to be destructible - it'd be nice to update the level and then redraw it and have the character interact with the new change. (That works beautifully) I am however; a bit confused as to how I have my hit Testing set up. I've been messing around with it, and it works for now - but I'm not sure why.. currently, I have a character set up by using a class I built and using a series of animations I created. So, this character has a walking and falling animation, etc. This is a movie clip.
Then there's a bitmap 'emptyBitmap' with bitmap data created - however; I never really added this as a child to the character. This is sized to the dimensions of my character. My level is created as a movielip, then it's drawn to a bitmap - when the level movieclip is changed, the bitmap redraws, and that's how this updates.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Use The BitmapData Property Of A Bitmap And Pass It To The Constructor Of A New Bitmap Object?
Aug 20, 2009I know the topic of "duplicating" movieclips is a hot issue with the new virtual machine. Luckily, I understand the implications. I only am [currently] interested in duplicating a Bitmap. See, I load an image from an URL using 'flash.display.Loader.load', which is a non-blocking operation in Flash Player.However,I may use multiple copies of the loaded image (which is reported to be a Bitmap, naturally) in the display list at the same time.Hence, I naturally do not want to load the image from an URL every time, because I don't want to wait for a non-blocking call to complete. Nor do I need to - I mean one copy is already loaded, so it should be possible to just "duplicate" it, right?
My idea is to do use the bitmapData property of a Bitmap and pass it to the constructor of a new Bitmap object. I have not tried the following in action, but I want to hear whether any of you did and if the following would not work, what would:
Code:
var original_bitmap: Bitmap;
var copy_of_original_bitmap: Bitmap = new Bitmap(original_bitmap.bitmapData);
LiveDocs mention that the BitmapData being passed to a Bitmap constructor is "being referenced", which to me might suggest it cannot be used twice? There is also the BitmapData::clone() method, which I am not sure is applicable here or not.I know this is a lot of talk instead of just trying this out, but I test so much Flash Player code daily just to see "what works" (which should be documented instead by Adobe),
