Using the easing transitions I simply move the _y of several movie clips. It is ok but their starting positions are always from the top of my stage, even if I fix their positions at the bottom.

View 1 RepliesI'm building a flash player that loads various movie clips in succession depending on user input. The player should continue to play seamlessly when one clip ends and another starts playing, however there is always a slight noticeable delay between the COMPLETE event for one clip and the actual playing of the next clip. I am using the FLVPlayback component to load the video clips, with successive clips loaded in different players in the component.
I've tried playing the next video a short duration before the current video finishes by adding a cue point just before the end of the currently running clip (about 200 - 300 ms before the end). This improves matters somewhat, but it is not a reliable method as the timings are different for different browsers and computer specs. I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with smooth transitions between external video clips and could suggest possible optimizations I could use to improve the transitions.
I have:
Code:
var tweenType:String = "None.easeNone";
and I'd like to use it as a function (from fl.transitions.easing) in:

I have just completed the "Transitions Between External SWFs" tutorial and I'm now I'm at the stage of altering a few things in there to suit my needs. But I've run into a problem...For my buttons, intead of "Button" symbols, I want to use "Movie Clip" symbols - reason being is that I've got some specially animated Movie Clip buttons that I wish to use.To get this... err "working"... with my Movie Clip buttons I have needed to use "_root." when referencing to the container Movie Clip. Now that works to an extent, but for some reason each button plays only "red.swf" even when there is no mention of it in the ActionScript and is instructed to play "blue" for example ("red.swf" happens to be the first appearing movie).Normal method with Button - works fine!
Code:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "red";

I have 3 movie clips A, B, C on stage. I wish to shuffle the positions of movie clips, that is B take over the position of A, B take over the position of C and C take over the position of A and so on, each time their locations are interchanged.

View 14 RepliesI was just wondering if this is possible, and if anyone knows how it could be done
What i intend to do is have a number of movie clips which load a photo from XML.As well as the photo i want something in the XML code that tells the movie clip where to place itself on the scene. For example it could contain a number from 1-8 and the scene will be split into eight sections across the X axis. So if it has the number 3 it will go in the 3rd section across anywhere on the Y axis.
How do I change the y position for the duplicated movie clips I have created?
This is the code I have used to create the movie clips.
var i = 1;
while (i <= 5){
duplicateMovieClip("bar", "bar" + i, 0);
i++;
}
have two sets of movie clips. I'm communicating to these movie clips with another program via binary sockets. For the first set of movie clips: when it recieves its instance name, and a second number (InstanceName+#) from the socket, the named movie clip will jump to the frame corresponding with that number. for ex: if the incoming data from the socket is (mc7+3), then movieclip 7 will jump to frame 3.
For the second set of movie clips: when it recieves its instance name, and a second number (InstanceName+#) from the socket, the named movie clip will move location across the screen, by the y coordinate moving to the # given by the socket...thats a little confusing. for ex: if the incoming data from the socket is (mc4+500), then movieclip 4 will move so that it's y coordinate is at 500.
Here is my code:
Code:
var socketBuffer:String = "";
s.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, onDATA);
function onDATA(e:ProgressEvent):void{

i got rid of some errors. the first part is working where the movie clips jump to the frame they are told to so no errors there. but when i try to move the movie clips in reference to the FADER array, (along the y axis) nothing happens. (look at bold part of code)
theres also another method i'm willing to approach but i'm not sure how to go about it. rahter than using the FADER array, I would rewrite the code for each individual movie clip, so that it says "if incomign data names a movie clip and gives a number, change the named movie clip's y coordinate to the incoming number"
I just finished animating something, but I don't like how large it is, and I want to resize it. However when I select the objects to move them, it only selects the current key frame that I'm on for those objects, so moving it only affects that keyframe. How can I select all of my keyframes so I can make them all uniform?

I'm a bit rusty of my trig, so I'm not sure the best way to do this ... I need to position 2 movie clips on the stage that relate to each other they can't be nested ,the registation points are in the center, assume "clip B" is 50 px to the left of "Clip A" as pictured in the diagram to the left , when "clip A" is rotated, I need clip B to follow ( still 50px ) away but with new _x and _y relative to the rotation of "clip A" as in the diagram right.
View 2 RepliesI want to make a map that will display dots on it that when you rollover them displays info about that location.. Have done that no problem using dynamic text boxes.. thing is I want to use an XML file to populate the map so that you can add new dots to the XML file with X and Y positions and info and flash can read that XML file and mark them out on the map with the info on rollover..
So any ideas on how I use actionscript to create and position dots from an XML file which I can add to?

I'm working on this scroll from tweener [URL]. I've made a button that lets me reach the position I want on the scroll
Code:
this.bout.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.gotoPosition(4);

Now I'd like to load a movie when I move to this or that position. Maybe with if?
Code:
this.bout.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.gotoPosition(4);
if (_root.Position=4) {
loadMovieNum("test.swf", 1);
}};
but this doesn't work (it loads the movie alright but not because of the position).

Is it possible to create an event listener that will listen for an objects (movieclip in my case) x position ?

View 1 Repliesget something to work. What I'm trying to achieve is this: there's a slideshow that automatically changes pictures every 10 secs (I've used a kirupa tutorial to achieve this). The pictures are loaded from an xml file, which also contains captions for the pictures. What I would like to do is to have the caption fade in and slightly move to the left with each picture change. E.g. picture 1 is displayed, caption 1 fades in, moves to the left and stays there; picture 2 is displayed, caption 2 fades in, moves to the left and stays there, and so on.

I have a difficult question to explain. I have a class file that loads an external XML file, parses the main nodes into an array, then creates a movie clip instance for each of the main nodes and creates text fields inside of the movie clip instance based on the child nodes in the XML.
Each movie clip instance that is added dynamically has a movie clip embedded in it that acts as a tab. I update the dynamic text of this embedded movie clip based on the name of each main XML node.
Now where I am getting stuck is that I have attached an event listener to each tab movie clip that is inside of each dynamically created movie clip. What I want to do is when the user clicks this tab have that movie clip move to the top of the display list on top of all the other dynamically created movie clips. My problem is that I don't know how to get the references correct.
When I create the movie clips dynamically I store the objects in an array. The problem appears to be that the event is fired for a movie clip inside of the dynamic movie clip so I don't know how to reference the parent movie clip. Maybe it is something else but I don't know how to make reference to the main movie clips that I want to swap.
I hope that makes sense. My main question is how do I use the swapChildren or setChild functions when the movie clip clicked is located within the movie clip I want to change in the display list as well as the fact that this movie clip was created dynamically.

I am creating a vertical menu with sub-links, which expand out once the main link is pressed, pushing all the buttons below them downwards (with easing). Except when i give one of the links a _y position to ease to, it never fully makes it to it, by under 1 pixel, leaving it slightly blurred.For example, i want to ease one of the buttons below the clicked-on button to _y = 300. but it eases to 299.5.
the equation for this is..
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
dist = _root.link_03_pos - this._y;
travel = dist / _root.speed;
this._y += travel;
}
_root.link_03_pos is passed a new _y position when any button is pressed.Why, when the dist is smaller than 1, does flash stop moving the mc?
