I was wanting to know whether it is possible to replicate this flash file (link below) using action script. By replicate i mean do more or less exactly what this does but perform a little more smoothly. Certainly i shouldnt have to go through all this on the timeline for such small results. The flash file below took me ages to do and im sure via action script it should be much quicker and easier.
View 14 RepliesI was recently tasked with replicating [URL] in HTML5 and jQuery. I'm currently struggling to do the effect where the menus slide up behind the images when an arrow is clicked (See the Menu section for the best example) and was wondering if this is actually possible in jQuery. So far I have [URL] which is sort of getting there but I'm not sure it's the best approach.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to replicate the motion of a 'mexican wave'. I am using Flash CS5, and using AS2. I've created a 'jumper' graphic and animated it in a clip so it jumps once - up then falls back to the ground. I've pulled the clip in to the main timeline and replicated a bunch of times so I have a row of 'jumpers'. I've given each instance a unique ID. Then I'm telling each clip instance to start playing, in sequence, using the following code:
var total_jumpers = 36;
var i = 0;
var jumpLag = 1000;
function do_jump(bottle) {
jumper.play();
[Code] .....
In the clip, I have put stop() in the last frame to try and stop it looping. So this works ok, but the clips seem to loop - I can't get them to stop.
I am converting a Flash Web App to a Javascript(HTML and CSS) Web App. I have a cube rotation animation working but I have a problem with the perspective.My Problem: I am not sure which CSS attribute I should use to replicate the Flash versions perspective(please see the 2 images below). The 2 below images where taken while the cube rotation was occuring and you can see the difference in the perspective(the 2nd image is too wide and should look like the first). You can see a working example here(Note it only works onThe first image was taken from the flash application and displays the CORRECT perspective(that I am trying to achieve in CSS).The 2nd image is taken from my CSS, Javascript and HTML web app and the cube rotates with the INCORRECT perspective. What CSS attribute do I change in order to achieve the above images cube perspective?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to replicate an smart filter from Photoshop (CS5) in AS3. Here's what I'm trying to do: I want to have a dark gray background (0x323232 to be specific) with some light, fine grained monochromatic noise on it. I've been mucking around with the perlinNoise method but it's 'too much noise'. Too much contrast. Code: bitmapData.perlinNoise(3, 3, 13, Math.random(), true, true, 7, true); Could anyone point me in the right direction?

When you open the site, there's a really sweet slideshow. I've been able to replicate the sliding action and I can click on each image to take me to a new URL, but I can't get it to automatically rotate on it's own. The numbers are fine, but I'd also like to add next/prev buttons.
Like I said, I got it scrolling, I just don't know how they're controlling theirs. I think I'm just doing it all wrong.

View 2 RepliesI have a button on the stage which works fine and performs various actions. I have a movie clip on the stage, that contains 10 different buttons which when you click advances you to the next button and does different things and so on and so on. Again independantly this movie clip with buttons works fine.
What I want to do however is this. I want to click on the main button on the stage, have that 'click' replicated to the other button within the movieclip so I can action both with a single clip.
With a datagrid component on the stage, whenever I press the ENTER key, the columns eplicate themselves on the right side of the datagrid. It doesn't matter if they're populated or not. The user input (to choose what data is displayed) comes from a clicked movieclip.
View 2 RepliesI am having trouble with editing my flash template in flash cs4. When I try to play the fla file in the timeline it does not play everything in each layer.

View 1 RepliesHere i'm actually not talking about a problem but rather wanted to raise a discussion thread. (Kirupa you may also move this thread to some other more relevant section. Few of my good colleagues till prefer writing code on the Flash timeline, on the frames (code as bigh as 100-150 lines), rather than using external AS files, when rest of the world has reached to AS 3.0 which is close to Java (OOP).I'm just wanted to know the big benefit of writing the code on the frames. I know that it is highly un-manageable and I have personally faced many instances of code not initializing, or behaving strange on a frame.

I have researched the subject for some time now and still haven't figure it out.I use midas3 library (Midi-actionscript3) to import midi to flash. I get each note-item on a timeline. I get the divisions value (192) and all of the "GET-TEMPO" elements are equal to 81.I tried a lot of combinations to get the actual time of the midi but still no good (timeline*192/60 for example).The reason I know it is not synchronized to the actual time is that when I visualize the notes as simple rectangles in flash - I check if they appear exactly to what the mp3 file plays (I have converted the midi file to this mp3 using simple conversion program)I have read a lot about how all is calculated but still haven't figure out the number I need to use to get it right (timeline * MysteriusConstant = ReaTIME, what is the value of MysteriusConstant? is it really constant? and if not how do I calculate how it is changed?)

I have a feeling this is a really basic question, but I am pretty new to Flash. I've imported an FLV file. This file is a slideshow of photographs with a Ken Burns effect already applied. I was hoping that I would be able to see the video frames on a timeline.What I then want to be able to do is jump to different frames (approximately where the photo changes) as a result of clicking buttons.

I have been doing pretty well for a fewmonths jumping in and learning AS3 in a professional, need to getthis online and working type environment, but I have yet to workwith .as files. One thing I'm wondering is: I have 61 lines of code for oneapp and they do a few different things. Do I put these all in thesame package? If I don't, how do I tell my .fla to load more thanone class? The examples of .as files I have found have beenhelpful, but they are all very rudimentary.As you can see from my questions I'm kind of in the dark hereand Ohe yeah - my timeline coderesides in it's own "actions" layer.
View 3 RepliesI am having a bit of a problem with the playback of a certain sound in my published file. I have a sound attached to a frame in my timeline and I have it as a stream so that it plays extactly where I want it to in the movie.

I'm creating a schedule page which has a calendar and a timeline (a graphic timeline not the flash timeline) that need to interact. When someone clicks on a calender date I want it to jump to that date on the graphic timeline. In order to cut file size down I split the calendar and the graphic timeline into two different files which are both loaded into a master page. The calendar is on level 1 and the graphic timeline is on level 5.
Sorry if this question is confusing, I'll try not to mix up the graphic timeline and the flash timeline, but -- Is it possible for a button in the calender file to trigger the graphic timeline file to change frames? What would that code look like? I tried on(release){level5.gotoAndStop(2)}, but that doesn't seem to do anything and I don't get any error.This might be really simple or impossible for all I know..

I have a movie where on the main timeline stage I have placed a movie clip (Clip1) and a dynamic text field. I have a .txt document that contains a variable that will always be a number (Var1).
Currently, the dynamic text field reads Var1 and displays that number. This is great, but I want Var1 to be used in 2 places:
How can I get Clip1 to also read Var1 and, based on the number that is Var1, play a certain frame of Clip1?
I'd like it to go like this: If Var1 is <1000 then play frame1, If Var1 is =1000 and <2000 then play frame2, If Var1 is =2000 and <3000 then play frame3, and so on...
