ActionScript 2.0 :: Set The Speed Of An Animation With Input Text?
Sep 23, 2009
I'll skip the lengthy intro and get into the details:
There is an element which could probably be best related to a clock. There would be 360 points around the "clock", one for each degree. So, esentially the full rotation would be 360 frames long.
There is an input text box where a user can input a number 1 - 50. This number indicates how fast the "clock" rotation runs through the 360 frames. An input of 1 would mean it would take 1 minute for a complete rotation. An input of 50 would mean it would rotate 50 times a minute. So, the input equals rotations per minute.
I've tried a few ideas including setInterval, if/else statments, extra frames in the animation, etc but still can't quite get my head around a good solution.
I know someone out there can tackle this one pretty easy, but unfortunately my AS2 skills aren't incredible by any stretch of the imagination.

I have an issue with font scaling of a dynamic text box.
Currently i have one input box named input_1 with a variable attached to it named "choc_1".
Also, i have a dynamic text box named dynamic_1 with variable "choc_1".
When the user types something on the input box then the dynamic box changes instantly and displays what the user has written.
auto scale-size the fonts to a smaller size if the user types many letters.
The input_1 box has a 13 character limit. My initial font size is 200, i want to scale down so when the user types 10 letters they fit the box and they don't go out of screen. I want to use one line, so wrap or multiline is not possible.
here's a code that i'm trying to fix but i can't get the dynamic box to change:

I wanted to make buttons for my web site with some spinning animation, but i wanted that it dont just spin, but speeding up and slowing down. So what i want to make, it is the button whan mouse over, spinning animation speeding up and whan mouse out, animation slowing down and stops, and whan there is no mouse over, animation not playing.

I have an animation on the timeline and I would like to increase the speed of the animation. I have tried increasing the fps and when I test it in flash, it works. But then I upload it onto my server online and it is still slow...
Also, I don't want to shorten the number of frames the animation takes as this will result in a edgy animation, whereas I want a smooth fast animation.

As part of a preloader I have a 19 frame movieclip of a 3d star rotating created in swift 3D, it rotates above a normal load bar that shows progress. Currently the star is a separate clip from the loadbar and just rotates as the movie loads, how can I tie the two in together so that the rotation speed of the star gets faster as the movie loads. I have an idea how to do this using tweens but because the star is not animated using tweens, swift generates 19 different frames I'm a bit stuck

I had created a simple slide show in Flash and published as a .swf file. The slide show contains few images and the animation takes about 45 seconds to run at 8 frames per second. When i imported it into Flash Catalyst, the animationa runs very fast, taking only about 15 seconds to get through the whole slide show. I re-adjusted the animation in Flash to make it run slower but when i imported the new version into flash catalyst, it runs at the same speed, --still very fast.Is there any way for me to control the speed of my animation and make it runs the same speed as I set up in Flash?

Im trying to make a function which will allow me to turn a detailed vector world map into a raster version so that animation which takes place around the map runs faster. I need it to be a function so that i can raster the graphic as needed and turn it back when i dont need it any more. Im using the following code but its not generating the raster version of the map when i hide the original movie clip..
Code:
function turnMapToImage() {
//
trace("turnMapToImage");

1) I created a movieclip animation and set the speed at a higher rate of fps than the site i later added the animation too - so the other animations I have are at the correct speed - i had forgotten to change the default from 12fps when I did those. Is there an easy way to change the speed besides changing the document fps - I don't want my animated sequence to speed up or slow down as I've just got it to the way I want it. I'm hoping that isn't too a stupid question
2) I thought that when you published the flash site it would 'crop' itself to the document size you set? I've tried uploading the published site and I have a white space around the top & bottom which looks terrible! I tried changing the size in dreamweaver but it's so hit & miss, sometimes it changed (but resized the whole flash site) or just didn't change anything. there must be something I'm doing wrong or an easier way to do this.
I've uploaded (for testing to see what it looked like - it's still very much in it's infancy and it's slow to load as I need to change an animation size - didn't prepare the raster images for web in one of the animations - trying to sort that now) on the end of my other website so that you can see what I mean: [URL](oh, and the background blue has a low opacity so I created a gif image to add to the html background but it's looks a completely different colour (it's the same hex colour code?!?!?!))

I can't find any proper way to make a long textField move fluently horizontally across the screen in full screen mode. I tried many ways but it always gets stuck from time to time for a few milliseconds and ruins the whole experience.way to best animate a large dynamic string on full screen,If there is a better way then using a textField to have a fluent animation, please tell me and I'll try using a different object for my string.

I have a movieclip created of a wheel that needs to roll on the ground. The speed of lateral movement of the wheel, is provided by the user and the wheel needs to rotate such that, it looks like rolling vs slipping on the ground I essentially need the wheel to rotate faster/ slower based on user input- how can this be achieved.

the last of many problems, is that at the very end of the test, you're shown your score, and you have the option to type your name in a text box and click "save". Doing so will apply you score data (time elapsed, date, correct answers and percentage) along with the name you typed in, and output in a form, that you can save or print off, or whatever. The problem is, the input text box will not let you type in it. If you mouse over it, the mouse stays a pointer, you don't get the text tool. If you click on it, the cursor appears for a split second after you release the mouse button, but you cannot type anything in it.This is the actionscript for the output form:
Code:
//
function saveRecord(record:String, field:String, now:Object, score:Object):Void {

I'm writing a card game in ActionScript 3. Each card is represented by an instance of a class extending movieclip exported from Flash CS4 that contains the card graphics and a flip animation. When I want to flip a card I call gotoAndPlay on this movieclip.When the frame rate slows down all animations take longer to finish. It seems Flash will by default animate movieclips in a way that makes sure all frames in the clip will be drawn. Therefor, when the program frame rate goes below the frame rate of the clip, the animation will be played at a slower pace.I would like to have an animation always play at the same speed and as a consequence always be shown on the screen for the same amount of time. If the frame rate is too slow to show all frames, frames are dropped. Is is possible to tell Flash to animate in this way?

So I wanted to implement this effect: [URL] but I only want the first image to appear, so pretty much without it being blurred. I also wanted it to stay a while and then dissolve. How do you do that and how do you control the speed of the animation? Once I turn up the ra, ba ... values it does slow down but restarts halfway through the animation. I also need it to stop once it ran the cycle. It should go from invisible, to visible, then stay and then dissolve.

I've just learned the basics of programmatic animation in Actionscript 3.0 but I can't seem to think of the right solution for this problem.Here is what I'm trying to do: A ball moves at a certain speed from the left of the screen to the right end. If there's a box in the way, it keeps bumping into it until the box breaks and it continues moving forward.The box will have a set weight that will control how much it slides when it is bumped by the ball. The ball will be pushed back a bit when it bumps the box.I have a very specific idea and all I need is a little help starting. How would you tackle this problem?

I have 4 animations and based on the speed of the internet i want it to change between each depending on the speed.
e.g...
0 - 10kb/ps - 1st MC
11 - 30kb/ps - 2nd MC
31 - 50kb/ps - 3rd MC
50+ - 4th MC
My idea is to have like a glass of water... and for the 1st MC the water filling it up is only a drip... and then 2nd MC is a slow stream of water etc etc and then final MC is water gushing in filling the cup up faster until it's full...
I think this might be a bit hard for me... as i can't even make a preloader... everytime i try the SWF file just stays blank until it's fully loaded... haha... but i'll read tutorials and stuff... i'm rather basic with Flash and just learn what i need to learn as i get to it... I also need the transition between each change (say from 1-10kbps - 51+) to be smooth rather than just having it going from a drip to gushing water... but i think i'll just have to make animations for each and then IF statements to deal with that issue..

I am looking to create the appearance of a shape being drawn. I need a few shapes, but for the example think of a simple U. I have tried several different approaches. First, I tried a shape tween at 45 degree increments. That was a wrong approach. Then I tried using After Effects, but the movies lacked flexibility and were laggy. Currently I am building the shapes using two shape tween MCs(an arc that goes 11.25 degrees and a line that goes 21px), and repeating it.
This seems to be working, but is very tedious, and lacks flexibility. i.e. if I decided I want the shape just a bit shorter I have to remove the MC incident from every frame. Also I have no possiblity of changing the speed without completely rebuilding the shape becasue I'm doing a frame by frame animation.
