Professional :: Seamless Transitions Between Externally Loaded Movie Clips?
Apr 1, 2010I'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.

Jun 1, 2006I have approximately five external movies I am loading into one main movie. I load the movies using various buttons in the main movie.
My issue is this...I press a button and the first movie loads and then runs to the end of the timeline. Works great.When a push a second button the second movie loads and runs to the end of the timeline. Works great also.but I hate how there is a blank space between the movies.
All the movies start with a white stage and end with full graphics. When I press a second button, the movie on the stage disappears immediately and I am left with a white stage for a few seconds while the loading movie animates onto the stage.
I want there to be a cross-fade or some effect that allows the loaded movie to remain on the stage while the second movie is loading. Is there a way to make this happen?
I'm including the code I have for loading movies so you can see what I am working with thus far.
Here is the code:
designingbutton.onPress=function(){
loadMovie ("Quest Wall Animation.swf", "_root.content");
}

View 7 RepliesFlash :: Smooth Transitions Between External Swfs
Aug 25, 2011what I want and currently have is a main swf that loads in assets based on buttons pressed. I have 3 external SWFs (for the sake of this example, lets call the initial loaded swf "indexExt.swf", file two" f02.swf" and file three, " f03.swf") and in each of them,there's one layer that goes from frame 1 to frame 10. On frame 1, there's an "intro" label, on frame 5, an "outro" label, and on frame 10, an " end" label.
indexExt.swf is loaded on initial load of the main swf. as for my buttons, I gave my buttons on the main swf stage, instance names that are the same name as the external swfs so that with this line event.target.name + ".swf" I can call em in without having to re-write code for every button etc..

View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Creating Smooth Transitions Between External Swf When The Animations Are Done
Oct 19, 2005Ive read the transitions tutorial and understand how that works, however, the site that I am building uses actionscript for its animation rather than timeline effects (for the most part). creating smooth transitions between external swf when the animations are done in actionscript?
Right now in my external .swf I have two frames, the first frame is the intro the second is the outro. The only difference between the two frames is the actionscript is reversed from fading in to fading out (etc.) on the second. There is no midframe per say, it just stops on the first frame because there is a stop(); on it. When the user clicks out of that section it just moves and plays the second frame. This works, however I fear that that method will get me into trouble later on. Is there a better way of doing this?
ActionScript 2.0 :: "Transitions Between External SWFs" - Using Movie Clips Instead Of Buttons?
Mar 5, 2009I have just completed the "Transitions Between External SWFs" tutorial and I'm now I'm at the stage of altering a few things in there to suit my needs. But I've run into a problem...For my buttons, intead of "Button" symbols, I want to use "Movie Clip" symbols - reason being is that I've got some specially animated Movie Clip buttons that I wish to use.To get this... err "working"... with my Movie Clip buttons I have needed to use "_root." when referencing to the container Movie Clip. Now that works to an extent, but for some reason each button plays only "red.swf" even when there is no mention of it in the ActionScript and is instructed to play "blue" for example ("red.swf" happens to be the first appearing movie).Normal method with Button - works fine!
Code:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "red";

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 - Attaching Movie Clips To Already Attached Movie Clips?
Jun 5, 2011As most of you don't know, I've been creating an rpg game. And, after several tries of art making, etc, I have finally moved back into coding the game. And now, I'm stuck on the equipment system idea. At first, I thought I would just place a bunch of goToAndStop's for each movie clip to go to a frame that has that certain armor piece. This was my first idea for an equipment system. However, after doing some research, and realizing how much lines of code could be saved, I started looking into simply adding and removing movie clips from the character as my new equipment system idea. Now.... on to the problem.
Basic want/ overall achievement wanted: Create an equipment system, which will basically attach movie clips (items) onto characters, which themselves will already be attached movie clips on the stage.
Problem: What is the exact code to do this? And Is there a better way to do this for an equipment system (a less laggy or more efficient way perhaps that I'm not seeing; Check the code below to get a better idea of what I'm talking about)?
Part of the code (or basic idea of code; see comments for extra details
code:
//Don't worry I have an OnEnterFrame function here;
//attachedObj= the character; figure= the MC name of the character;
attachedObj = attachMovie("figure", "figure"+1, 1);

Aug 18, 2005Here's what I'm trying to do (in example form): I have a movie clip called "dude". Dude is animated to walk around, then drop a cigar (all inside the movie clip). But the problem is, dude moves, so if you try and move dude as the cigar is dropping, the cigar moves with him. So what I want to do is create a new movie clip instance called "cigar" OUTSIDE of the movie clip dude right as he's dropping it, so that you can move him without moving the cigar. Get it? I've attached another helpful animation to explain.
What I have right now is, on the 13th frame of dude, a few lines of code that create and place an instance of cigar. In that frame I also have an invisible instance of cigar for me to duplicate. Inside of the cigar movie clip is the animation that makes it fall to the ground. I need to change that code so that the instance of cigar is created outside of the movie clip dude. Here's the code I have now (inside of dude, on frame 13):

ActionScript 2.0 :: Empty Movie Clips And Duplicating Clips
Jul 19, 2006I've been trying to reproduce an animation effect I've seen on the Armani website, but I'm stuck trying to duplicate an empty movie clip with image loaded into it. The duplicates exist and I can move them, but they are invisible. Since the duplicates reside on depths above the intitial clip I'm confused about why they are invisible. The duplicates are scripted to follow behind the initial clip - each offset by 30 pixels (though I don't have that working perfectly).

Feb 9, 2004I have a movieclip that I want to be resized when a button is clicked. I want the animation to be smooth as if it had weight though. I read the tutorial on this but I need something slightly different, I would rather it where I can just refer to a function that is set in another movieclip. That way I could easily refer to it again and just set the height, width, and if possible, x, and y.
And my second question, is how to keep the border of my movieclip that is going to be resized the same thickness. I want the inside to be resized but the sides to stay the same width but move to stay on the edge.
IDE :: Smooth Cutting A Movie?
Dec 28, 2009I've received a .fla file with a movie that I'm supposed to edit. I have managed to make little changes as entering the movieclips and updating pictures.I have to cut out from the movie from a certain point to the end. I have managed to selecting all frames in that certain point and pressing SHIFT + F5 .The second part that I must cut is between the frames 510 to 671. I have deleted the layers with the content that was supposed to appear in that part of the movie, but I'd like to make the movie shorter by cutting these frames as the only thing that is seen in that part is the background image.When I select all the frames between 510 to 671 and press SHIFT + F5 all the rest of the movie is modificated, pictures aren't shown and there are graphics appearing where they should not.
View 1 RepliesHow Pre-loader Transitions To Main Movie
Mar 2, 2009I have a flash movie located here: URL...and it's preloader here: URL... (which I built based on the video tutorial from this site)The problem lies in how the preloader transitions to the main movie. When the preloader is done loading the movie and therefore plays the movie, instead of playing from the beginning of the movie, it instead skips to frame 26 or so, 1 second into the movie. Which is where the filigree animation begins to play. Upon reloading the preloader.swf it usually plays correctly the second time around. I cannot figure out why it is doing this, my only theory is that the main movie is somewhat playing in the background? I really don't have any idea to be honest.
