i want a button that when rolled over, it gradually stops a movie clip. I don't want it to stop dead. I also want a button that when you rollover it the movie clip then starts again, but gradually.
View 0 RepliesI have a movie on the stage called wheel_mc that I want to slow down and stop using action script rather than use easing on the tween in the movie. It has 200 frames and when it gets to frame 100 it starts to slow down and by the time its reached frame 200 its completely stopped.
View 10 RepliesI wondered if someone might be able to help me with this. I have a horizontal, infinately-scrolling movie. I would like it to slow down and come to a stop when the mouse is not over the movie.
The movie is contained within an HTML page, and if your mouse leaves the movie, it just keeps on scrolling and is very distracting.
I need to slow down, then stop a movie clip animation usig AS3.The slowdown will be triggered by clicking a stop button.
View 3 RepliesI have this for a continuos moving animation from right to left.
ActionScript Code:
mc2._x = mc1._width;
var speed = 6;
[code]....
How can I put a slow stop and restart in the code?
I am trying to duplicate this effect here [URL]
In particular how you hover your mouse over a section and a group of images slide left or right, but the move quickly to begin with and then slow down....
This is my movie here [URL]
I have the button areas working correctly..I just want them to slow down when its time to stop?
trying to implement a "wheel of fortune"-like activity in AS3.Here is what I have so far: [URL]The script for this spinning mc is super simple:
Code:
var speed:int = 10;
NoPolicy.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, wheelRoll);
function wheelRoll(event:Event):void

What I would like to do is have the rotation run for, say, 2 seconds and then slow down and stop at a random angle.
trying to make things for my classroom. Dawsonk was kind enough to help me out with it months ago, but I had a computer crash at school and lost it. Unfortunately the school system doesnt try to recover stuff, they just wipe it.What I want is basically a gaming wheel (like at a carnival, the kind you spin).I want to be able to have a .jpg or something that I can modify (if I change the lesson later, or for different outcomes, just replace the .jpg with a same sized wheel).I just want to hit a button, make it spin, slow down, and stop. Maybe a second graphic of just a pointer at the top that overlaps it so you know where it lands. It doesn't even have to stop exactly on one 'category' or 'slot'. It just needs to slow down and stop randomly.
View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip that scrolls side to side when you rollover it but when the mouse is off it continues to scroll - I need the movieclip to slow to a stop when the mouse rolls of the movieclip. I've have been playing arounds with the hitest code (red) but this does not fix it... Its prolly a simple problem - I am not much of a coder....

I thought I had a handle on the timer class (even just a beginners understanding), but I'm having trouble with it.I have an event listener for the timer and it starts fine i get a delay, then a tween,but when I place a myTimer.stop();in the fuction the listener called (to stop it) it dosent stop.it will repeat placing the first image, and then call the first function again
......Wait its placing the first image in (a couple of lines before the start), so Its restarting the whole movie, not just the function?
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, tweenone)
myTimer.start();
function tweenone (event:Event):void[code]...........
I have a contact form for which I have a tween. That contact form consists of two keyframes, first the form, I tried putting the code stop(); in the first keyframe but it didn't stop. I then changed stop(); to _root.stop();, which didn't work either. I have to stop it because otherwise users would see a thank you note before they even enter their details. What can I do? Converting to movieclip didn't work either, besides it puts a funny character when I press AltGr
View 2 RepliesIm not really new to flash, but pretty useless at Actionscripting and i think thats what i need in this situation.A flash movie was predesigned for us at 12 FPS. which was fine at first but now i have to import those movies into Adobe Presenter 7 which once published runs them at 30 FPS by default. So you can see my problem.. the 12FPS files run way to fast.Im trying to avoid having to edit everyone of those movies and increase the timelines to work with 30 FPS.. that would take weeks.So my question is, can i load the entire movie into a MovieClip and then set my main movies property to 30 FPS and have the MC play at only 12 FPS? i believe i read about this somewhere.or is there a way to automatically extend the timelines? im using CS3 Pro.
View 12 RepliesI have created a logo using several objects. And they come one by one on my stage while playing. But these objects (which all are movie clips) coming too fast.
View 9 RepliesI'm working in an application that is a kind of presentation with lots of content that should be displayed in "frames".
But I realized, after some struggle, that to put all the content inside the .FLA file doesn't work. Just a couple of tables with text imported from ms word are enough to let the FLA file unusable, even though it occupies little space on disk.
So I've written a function that loads content from an XML file and display it into a movieclip, that contains empty textfields and image containers. Another function organizes the content.
The problem is that the SWF file gets extremely heavy after navigating over a couple of frames, and I believe is shouldn't cause all the content is dynamic. I managed to remove all the listeners and loaded images.
If i have the windows task manager(ctrlalt del) opened while the Flash application is on, I notice that every time I update the content of a "frame" by clicking on a menu item or the navigation buttons, the flashplayer consumes more and more memory.[code]...
I just got Flash CS3. I'm trying to get my main timeline to stop in the begining, on button press to play and at the end stop again. In AS2, you would just put stop(); on the first keyframe and stop(); on the last key frame and program your buttons accordingly.
The stop(); does not work!!!! It's driving me crazy. What am I missing? I've gone through the tutorials in Flash and they don't work either.Also, if you have MovieClip that contains an animation and you don't want the movie clip to be on a continuous loop how do you stop it from playing. In AS2, I would put a stop(); on the last keyframe of the movieclip's animation. This also does not work in AS3.
How do I stop a class file from automatically inserting itself into the .fla file. I want to insert it manually into a frame, and then tell it to stop after I leave the frame.The following is the code included in my .as file.
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[code].........
Some stuff is as fast as before, like scrubbing and playing and applying a tween.But other, simple stuff, like selecting frames, adding frames - regular or key - takes 2-5 seconds each. Really anything with the timeline is slow. This happens especially with long movies (1.5 minutes - 2500 frames). Which shouldn't matter. I had movies 5 minutes long working fine.
View 21 RepliesI have Flash CS3 installed (windows) I have two images, I shape tween from one to the other.
The .fla file is 15MB in size, and the .swf is 800kb,
My problem is that, even though I've set the animation to run at 30fps, I barley manage more than 1.4fps a second, it should take 5seconds to complete, yet its taking 140seconds.
I have a 2GHZ dual core PC, with 2GB RAM,
I want it to be a smooth transition.
i have an embedded video in my .fla. It's like the "background" of the scene. I need to slow down this video in a specific keyframe, and then return to the normal speed.
View 2 RepliesFirstly, is it possible to speed up the process of compile and run (ctrl+shift+enter), because it's so slow and it's very annoying when you do minor changes and you want to quickly see the effect
Secondly, many times at compile & run command flash player doesn't fire up, because it's running in memory for no reason, and there in no flash movie playing, so it's really nasty that I have to keep killing process to be able to run the movie.
When I have a symbol with multiple symbols inside, it's very slow to convert frames to keyframes or to move the keyframes in its timeline. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
View 1 RepliesThe execution of JSFL files seems to have slowed down in Flash CS5. Or, at least, the updating of the display has been severely slowed down. I have a command I use all the time -- so much that I don't even think about it -- that worked fine in CS4 and earlier, but in CS5 it seems to execute too slowly. My command is a replacement for the "Step Forward One Frame" and "Step Backward One Frame" commands in the control menu (the "<" and ">" keys). I wrote them so that the selected symbols remain selected when going to a new keyframe. Of course, I use this all the time just like I did with the original "<" and ">" keys, and they need to run fast enough that I don't notice their execution time. They don't do that much processing at all, so it really shouldn't be a problem.
I also wrote some functions for profiling, and they indicate that the command is actually running in a reasonable amount of time (around 50ms). When I run it again immediately, though, the execution time balloons to about 300ms. Not only that, but in both cases the display takes its sweet time updating itself. It seems to wait until all activity is finished, and then updates. This means that when I execute the command repeatedly (keyboard-scrubbing the timeline) I don't get to see the current state of the stage until I stop completely and wait for it to update.
As I said before, I never had trouble with this in CS4 and earlier. So my question is: is there any way to tell Flash to update its display in a command, so that I don't have to wait for Flash to get around to it? Relatedly, is there any way to give the javascript interface a higher priority so it'll execute commands faster? keys). I wrote them so that the selected symbols remain selected when going to a new keyframe. Of course, I use this all the time just like I did with the original
I am very new to AS3 and the way CS5 has the default preloader is a bit confusing to me as well. I have two files -- one with the preloader AS3:
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("part2.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void{
[Code] .....
Then I have another SWF with my main content called "part2.swf". When I "publish" part2.fla, I go to ActionScript settings and select Preloader method as Preloader SWF and then on the line below I select the name of the file that points to the one above that contains the script. Even when I do a simulate download test on the movie it compiles like a dog. I don't understand. If I use the "default preloader" in CS5 ... those annoying little dots with no progress bar or display text (who designed that?) ... it seems to run just fine. I've tried putting a frame preloader in frame as I understand the "preferred" method is to call an external loader file. So I'd really like to get an external preloader to work.
Does anyone else experience publishing ad hoc builds for the iPhone (from flash cs5) taking a long time (10 minutes +) ? Whereas it would only take a couple for a (non ad hoc) test build. I suspect it might be stuck in a loop somewhere.Or is it simply a matter of waiting patiently whilst the provision is being approved (or whever it's waiting on)
View 1 RepliesI am having a issue with CS5 flash iphone app displaying slow laggy animations when I use a background image. I have pinpointed this issue by making a simple iphone application with only a vertically accelerating ball and one background image. If I use the background image the ball will animate slow and laggy, without the image it performs fine.
Also...while I have your attention, does anyone know why only CS5 will allow me to compile IPA files that will run on my 1G ipod touch with ios 3.1.3. I would like to use CS5.5, but the IPA from that version will not run on my device.

I did a flash application that has a login form in flash, and authenticates in php. That was 3 months ago, and the sending requests and response is very fast -- that is, when i click submit button, within 3 - 5 seconds it will have a response from php.
Recently, I did another login in flash, using similar code as I previously have done. Now, the sending request and respond is very long, each time the server may take up to 10 seconds to respond. Why is it taking so long yet the previous one is fast?
Same host, same php files, similar swf (not much changes in swf).
I found this, but got no idea how to slow it down:
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myTextLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE,onLoaded);
function onLoaded (e:Event):void {
tekstbx.text = e.target.data;
tekstbx.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME,efh);
I have a Wordpress website located here: http:[url]....I'm trying to figure out why the page loads slow - I'm almost sure it has to do with Flash and size of images, plus rotating banner. I don't know how to edit or fix the problem though. So the question is: What is causing my website to load slow, and what EXACT steps can I take to fix the problem.I've already tried adjusting some of the browser ActiveX filters and other temp fixes, but that is not the proper solution. If this is a flash or image loading issue, can you tell me the EXACT step in how to edit these issues?
