how do I script a movieclip to repeatedly fade/move/scale from x to z back to x to z again and again..I've tried onEnterFrame with ..if statements and whatnot but with no luck.[code]
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to scale and move a clip through action script. And the end result is working - the clip ends up the size and position I want it to. The problem is the clip starts the scale action before the move position action. It seems to move to an arbitrary coordinate before starting the x and y move action. I'd like the move and scale actions to happen simultaneously.
Here's the code:
scaleAmt = 25;
((mainclip._x -= scaleAmt*1.71) and (mainclip._y -= scaleAmt++));
if ((mainclip._x<=-2880) and (mainclip._y<=-1680)) {
gotoAndPlay("e5_onStop");
} ((mainclip._xscale += scaleAmt++) and (mainclip._yscale += scaleAmt++));
if (mainclip._xscale>=500) {
mainclip._xscale = 500;
mainclip._yscale = 500;
}
I get the feeling I should put this into a for loop, but I'm not sure how to do it.
I have a tweened movie which plays on a loop. A click on the image area stops the movie and the image fades nicely from alpha 100 to alpha 0. A second click brings the image back immediately to alpha 100 and the clip continues. I would like the movie image to fade back in from alpha0 to alpha 100 before it re-starts; (the reverse of the fade out). At the moment the re-appearence of the image is a crude jump. So far my ill informed tinkering has not worked.

I'm trying to make a loader class that will spit back MovieClip data from the Loader. If another class/function requests the same data (Rather, the same file), rather than making a new loader and re-loading it, I was hoping to just have it return the same MovieClip. This all works to some extent, but the problem I'm having is this - Because the new request is adding the MovieClip, it's taking it away from the old one.
I tried making a copy when the request is made, but the image is generally not loaded then, and because the copies aren't updated, most of the images are empty when everything requests it.So basically what I'm hoping you can guide me towards is a sort of... C++ pointer-esque thing, something that could point to the MovieClip data without actually taking it away from everything else. I've messed with AS3 for a while, but can't find anything like that. Or any other method that would let multiple MovieClips reference a single "original" movie clip, reference-style.
well i want to make buttons that on rollover move to left, on rollout move back to their initial position, and if clicked, they but stay this time at the final rollover place, and be there until something else is clicked. When something else is clicked, the previous button , returns to its initial place. So i ve got it all figured out except for the freeze and move part when the buttons are clicked. All it does now , is when they are clicked they freeze at the position i want, but i havent got a clue how to update them, after so they start moving back, and reacting on rollover and rollout, when the next button is clicked.

i need some code to automatically scroll a movieclip from right to left repeatedly based on the width, as it pulls in images with xml.
View 14 RepliesIt's been a long time since I've done any work with actionscript, and alas I've forgotten nearly everything. I've tried to look for a tutorial that would explain basic animation with actionscript, but the one that I found on Kirupa was no longer there.
Basically I'd like to do this:On the stage I have a movieclip and I'd like the movieclip to move along the x-axis to a certain point and then back to the starting point again. The moving speed of the movieclip should also be adjustable.
Using Tween class maybe? I tried the easeOut. But if will write 2 Tween, the 2nd one will overwrite the 1st one, so I only see the obj moving in the 2nd Tween direction, not the 1st Tween direction. I know the coordinates for the 2nd Tween below is not correct (cos all coordinates shld follow the defined reference point), so I need to find out the logo's width and height. But is alright now cos it is for testing purpose.

What have I done wrong here? I need a movieClip to fade out, pause, then a new movieClip to fade in.

What I've tried to do is to set the target_MC alpha to 0 and fade out the current mc. Then when the fadeOut has completed to setTimeOut. After this the mcs will swapDepths and the target_MC should fade up to alpha = 0I've attached the flash and xml files. The images were too large.
Using the following function
function scaleFromCenter(ob:*, sx:Number, sy:Number, ptScalePointoint) {
var m:Matrix=ob.transform.matrix;
m.tx -= ptScalePoint.x;

I am having some dificulty making a path for this enemy i'm trying to create... cause i want him to rotate + move, then stop, then shoot, then rotate back and move off screen... Its easier if you see it.. you can download the swf file in the zipped archive to demonstrate what i mean. I did it there with tweens. Anyway.. i tried and make it but i'm a little stuck on the stopping part... you can also see what i did in the fla file attatched...

how to make a graphic scale from 0 - 150% and then back to 100% using actionscript. I am learning actionscript and I would really like to start to learn how to get away from standard tweening and move into scripting it. There is an example of the movements I am looking to accomplish here :: This is part of the mctween examples - but this is accomplished with a rollover/out. I am just interested in getting this effect but just a straight animation when the playhead stops on the frame.

I simply have one FLVPlayback component in the background and a movieclip on the layer above with an FLVPlayback component inside it. The first FLV component is constantly looping a five-second video. So all I need is for the movieclip containing the second FLV component to load the right file, fade in, and when the video ends, fade out. Absolutely all of that works... apart from the fading in. What I noticed was that my movieclip was fading in correctly, but the FLVPlayback component was empty and transparent until the fade had finished - then it played the clip. Here's my code, which gets called at random intervals:

I 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?
how i could create a function to do the following. I have a mc and when you click on it i want it to scale too say 150% and move to a different x y position, then when you click on it again i want it to go back to its original size and position.
View 3 RepliesI want to make a MC scale when my crsor is over it and go back to normal when it's not.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_xscale<100 ) {_xscale = _yscale += 10;
}
}
This is all the as i have but i do not know how to make it so the mouseover function is involved.

View 4 RepliesI need to scale and move a object at the same time.
Like in this example but with actionscript instead of motion tweening.

i'm making a game where a ship moves from a random starting position to a target but I want to be able to zoom in & out (its a plan view) so would therefore need some way of scaling all MCs on stage equally & move them closer together when zooming out.. how I might do this? I thought maybe putting everything within 1 MC possibly?

View 1 RepliesI've gotten this code from another tutorial site but trying to modify it so I can apply it to my other flash movies. Firstly what this does is it moves the object around 300 x 300 document in random coordinates. But what I want it to do is make it transparent as it decelerates or have it's alpha go down to 0 as it nears the destination. And when it gets a new destination it's alpha resets back to 100 again to repeat the process.
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
currentlocx = this._x;
currentlocy = this._y;

I've built a photo gallery that resizes with the window browser. The only problem is that when I first open up the window the gallery is not properly scaled to fit the window size. I was given a tip that when you place resizeListener(null); in the code. This worked, but the only problem is that the image scales disproportionately when the window loads. I've noticed that when I tinker around with some of the code (highlighted in RED below) it effects this, but I have not figured out how to resolve it.

I would like to make a fade in and fade out movieclip. However I want it so after it fades out, it will not loop and start over. In essence fade in and fade out and thats it.

Ive been using flash for years (for animation) but ive only just started properly looking at actionscript.What Im doing is making a flash site, in which when you click a menu item the current page fades out, the new one fades in.Here is what I have:
Code:
var selectedPage = "home";
//attach home page
holder.attachMovie("home","selectedPage","1");[code]....
It works to the point of loading the home page, and then fading that out when i click a new item on the menu, but it doesnt seem to be loading a newpage in or fading back in.
I have spent 2 hours on this simple state to state transition with simply resize and move animation. I can get the element to move and fade...but there is no resize animation at all. The panel element stay the same width whole time. If I copy the code to a brand new test mxml file, it works, but not in my main application file.

I'm making a website in flash, inspired from this site : [URL]. I've done mouseover so that when you go over a circle you can see full text in the middle, but I don't know how to make the other "buttons"/circles fade white when I have my mouse over one of the circles. Please take a look at the webpage, it's kind of difficult to explain. [URL]. I'm using CS 5.5 and Actionscript 3
