I have a really long image about 3000px long, how do I make this loop seamlessly to get the effect that this is never ending? This was done in a prior website I did but I didn't do the flash work on that website so I cannot see the AS used for it.

I have an embedded 10-second video (of water ripples, for example) that I would like to loop continuously without displaying an obvious break/jump from the end frame to the first frame.The video itself does not end at the beginning, so it cannot simply be looped. The only way I can think of to simulate a seamless loop it to use the alpha/fade tween somehow, but I have no clue where to begin, or if this is even possible in flash. I just have these two theories:
THEORY #1:
If a movie clip can be reversed, then I can append a reversed copy of the clip on the end, which would create an actual seamless loop.
THEORY#2:
If I can cut the first 2 seconds of the clip, and paste it over the last 2 seconds of the clip, then fade in on the first one, this would create a virtual seamless loop.
Of course, I have no idea if these options are possible in Flash (I have CS3).

How do I make a smoothe and endless horizontal loop of five or six photos that seems seamless ? I think that this is an actionscript thing that I do not know. I just want five or so evenly spaced photos to scroll from right to left at the top of the stage.

View 1 RepliesI'm having problem with playing a *.swf file in my animation. The *.swf file actually contains a video clip of people passing a card to one another. On the main timeline there are 3 nested movieclips, the movieclip on the second frame contains the *.swf file, and using Im using this code to load the SWF file:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("iwill_cards_video.swf"); myLoader.load(url); MovieClip(root).nextFrame()
The first movieclip plays fine, but then the next two movieclips play at the same time over one another. I would like for the first movieclip to play, then the second movieclip containing the SWF file, followed by the final movieclip. I have a "stop" on each of the 3 frames on the main timeline but it doesnt seem to work?
I am creating my first Flash Web site, learning ActionScripting as I go. I think my most recent problem requires some simple scripting, but I haven't found a solution on the Board, so I decided to post this message.
Basically, I am trying to make the transitions between each section of my site seamless, and in absence of any HTML-like jumps in which the page just cuts to another. For example, when you click on a button from the main navigation area of my portfolio site, you are taken to another section (separate scene),and the content area changes.I want the previous scene to fade out, after the button is clicked, before the new scene loads. Another words, I need to figure out how to tell the timeline to do this for each button:
When I click the Graphics navigation button,FIRST play frames 300-310 of the current scene (fading out animation)THEN take me to the frame label graphics.Heres the code attached to my Graphics button currently (it nested inside a movie clip, hence the _.root part). How would I change this to get it to play frames 300-310 of the current scene before it takes me to the graphics page?
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("graphics");
}
I stayed out of the picture as long as I could ..because Ifigured there would be confusion and consternation as Adobe assimilated Macromedia's products.Here I am with Adobe Illustrator and Flash CS3,and the disconnect between the two is astonishing! I'll attribute some of my unfamiliarity to my recent involvement with Flash, but still,the vector pen tools operate soooo differently. Furthermore,selected anchor points are black in Illustrator and hollow in Flash polar opposites! The respective tool bars look similar, but often the selected tool behaves in a distinctly different manner, and the palette serves up dissimilar options.
Go the path of least resistance. I'll do my vector work in Illustrator, my workhorse tool of choice,then paste or import into Flash. But then gradients look like poo.Pfffff. (If anyone knows,what IS the problem with Illustrator-to Flash gradients. Is it that Flash Player is still too heavily based on Macromedia technology? i.e. the PostScript is OK but FlashPlayer doesn't render it well?)So, enough rant ...
What are the chances that Illustrator and Flash are better aligned in CS4, at least as far as object compatibility and similaar vector pen tool behavior? I can probably deal with the rest.
I need to have a series of flv files play with seamless transitions between files. I am using the code provided by the tutorial on the gotoandlearn website (XML Video Playlist) as a basis for my project, but I am eliminating the playback controls and playlist access. I just want to play through the videos on the list, but NOT have any buffering lag-time when moving to the next video.If I just loop through the videos in the XML file, each time a new flv is loaded, it will buffer for a few seconds before beginning to play. I have considered using two NetStream objects so that the second can begin to buffer while the first is playing, but I have not found how to load the NetStream object without actually playing it. ns.seek(0) perhaps?
View 1 RepliesI used a colour gradient background image on my stage for my website.Managed to load up the same background onto the browser background.However, the result is not satisfactory as I can see the website background image boundaries against the browser background.How can I get around this?

View 3 RepliesAir allows for seamless installs (aka, "badge installs") from the browser, as well as launching an Air app from the browser. Air 2.0 has the Native Process API, which requires packing the app as an .exe/.dmg rather than a .air file. My question: does the badge install process support seamless installation of native Air installers?

View 8 RepliesI want to be able to load a movies, wait till it finishes, unload that movie and then load a new movie. Kinda like a slideshow using external movies. My problem is understanding how to determine when a loaded movie has reached its last frame. I currently have this action on at the end of every movie, but it pops or gives a white flash in between movies which is not so smooth.
movie1: loadMovieNum("/media/flash/one.swf",0);
movie2: loadMovieNum("/media/flash/two.swf",0);
movie3: loadMovieNum("/media/flash/three.swf",0);
It doesn't look like there is a solution for this unless you:
1) import the sound file inside your swf.
2) load the sound as a external swf.
I have currently created a slideshow interface that makes my car looks like it's turning 360. I'm loading each external image as I press on the forward/back button. Right now, I have each external image load onto a movieClip Container.My problem is that every time I click on the button, the previous image unloads, showing a empty white space, before the next one loads.
Is there a way to try to load all the images at one so the transisitions look smooth and not have a whiteout effect between transitions? I want each image to load while the button is pressed down. Currently, I have to repeatedly click on the button to get to the next image.

I'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 some audio files on my http server, and I would like to write a Flash client in ActionScript3 to load those audio file and play them smoothly. Of course I can just create a Sound object and load it by .load() with a URL request. But for saving the bandwidth, I prefer to load audio file chunks on demand. For example, there is an audio file let's say 100MB. If we try to load as fast as possible when user open the page
<--------- 100MB ----------->
The downloading may finished within minutes, but let's say, if user stop listener in halfway, that's kind of waste to load whole soundtrack at first.
<--------- 100MB ----------->
^--- user may stop here
To solve the problem, I think it's better to split the big audio file into small chunks, load and play them on demands.
<--- 10MB ---><--- 10MB ---><--- 10MB ---> ...
^--- user current position
I want to design the player, let it load audio chunk by chunk, and only load it when it's near the end of current chunk.
How to load those chunks and play them smoothly? I can probably create Sound object for each chunks. But how to play them seamless?

its for a photo gallery that I downlowded,the images fades in and out, but only start that when you click a button(timer).I'm trying to founf out where in the script I can change this, so that the photo's start automatically,rather than, on a button click.I have pasted the script below, is that ok, or would people rather a zip file of the files?
