I was looking for a way to create play, stop, rewind and fast forward buttons for an animation I created in Flash. I found a nice description at republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/controller_bc/, but after trying the code for stop and play I get the error: Access of possibly undefined property onRelease through a reference with static fl.controls:button.
stop();
play_btn.onRelease=function (){
play();
}

I think to create an animation (like moving object foward) we can used frame to frame animation and also we can used actionscript tween class.And my question is, if somebody talking about 'timelined animation', which one is it? is it frame to frame? or is it actionscript? or is it both of them?

View 6 RepliesI'm making an animation of a line drawing itself. I'm using a vector line that I drew in Illustrator, which I imported to the stage. I have been erasing a bit, inserting a new keyframe, erasing it a bit more, new keyframe etc. When i have finished this I intend to reverse the sequence so the line appears to be drawing itself. This process has been going really well, but at 1820 frames in a section of the line has started to shake/jitter (by which I mean from side to side very quickly). I deleted the frames and did them again, using the same process that I have for the rest of the line which is not jittering, but this small section is still jittering. It doesn't jitter or move when I move between frames, it only jitters when I play the movie by pressing Command + Enter or I export it as a Quicktime .mov file.
PS here is a YouTube video of the problem. The jitter starts around the bottom of South America. You may need to make it quite big on your screen to see it. You'll notice that that part of the line doesn't jitter most of the way along, but starts to jitter when it gets to that part.
I am working on an animated web banner. The specifications say that the animation must stop after 30 seconds but can resume on a mouse rollover. My animation is just a looping rotating circle created on the timeline. How can I get this looping animation to stop after 30 seconds? Also, is there a simple way to have the animation resume on a mouse rollover
View 2 RepliesMy issue is that for my website I want there to be movies in between the interactive parts of it where the interfaces slide in and out. However, I can't stop a movie from playing over and over instead of playing once and going to the next frame.With 2.0 I haven't been able to find any research that helps me, probably because I don't know the correct keywords to search for.Right now I have my main time line set up with a loading bar on frames 1 & 2, that then jumps to frame 3 where I have embedded a movie (Instance named: mc_start) of the interface sliding in. Preferably after that I need it to jump to frame 4 where the actual interface is.
I can get the movie to end by going into the embedded movie's time line and simply have stop() ; at the final frame, but I can't get it to go to frame 4 on the main time line. If I having something like gotoAndPlay(4) ; on the final frame of the embedded movie's time line, it simply goes to frame 4 of the embedded time line and not frame 4 of the main time line. If there was a command to make it jump back to the main time line instead of the embedded time line, that would work perfectly.Coding on Frame 3 of the main time line to jump to Frame 4 would work if I knew the correct language to detect when the movie has ended (Movie is 191 frames long), so that afterwards it would immediately jump to Frame 4, but I haven't been able to find any resources that will teach me how to do it. Right now having gotoAndPlay(4) ; on Frame 3 of the main time line obviously makes it immediately skip the movie on Frame 3 and jump to Frame 4.
What I have is a movieclip and a button in scene 1 (which is the main timeline).There is an actionscript layer also on the main timeline. what I want to do is when I click the button, it would do a nextFrame(); in the movieclip timeline instead of the main timeline.
View 4 RepliesI have a Flash animation of the Yin Yang symbol that is rotating clockwise in a circle. The image is rotating a bit fast for my project. Could someone tell me how to go about slowing down the animation so that it does not spin so fast? I am currently using CS3.
View 1 RepliesMy animation is too fast and when I take down the speed and cut some frames it appears choppy. Do I start with a one big image and make small but fast movements between or could I perhaps have to draw several small movements. I've been in a hole lately and I feel spaced out. I also have trouble concentrating.
View 2 RepliesI would like to add a Fast forward button to my animation. I tried to modify existing AS2 code but I just cant get it to work. I'm getting errors about _root and it doesn't seem to like controller__mc. The AS2 version that works is:
forward_btn.onPress=function (){
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("controller_mc",1);
controller_mc.onEnterFrame=function(){
_root.gotoAndStop(_root._currentframe+3);
}}
And here is my sorry try at it in AS3:
forward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN , playMovie);{
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("controller_mc",1);
} controller_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DO WN, playMovie);
_root.gotoAndStop(_root._currentframe+3); {
stop();
}
I'm creating a thermometer with the mercury animated as donations come in. I haven't touched flash in a long time, so be gentle. How can I change the code below so the animation is faster without increasing the framerate?
ActionScript Code:
var maxMercuryHeight = 192; // Mercury height at 100%
var currentDonations = 80; // Percentage of donations taken
var currentHeight = (currentDonations / 100) * maxMercuryHeight;
[code]....
How can I make the animation ease out so it starts fast and slows down at the end?
I am writing an actionscript 2 project, how do i stop poeple right clicking fast forward and rewind and next?

View 1 RepliesI have the following situation: have a screen with 4 charts, each being populated with 59 array collections. Each array collection has 2000+ data points. This construct needs to be filtered(by time), but the problem I'm encountering is the fact that it takes a long time for the filtering to finish (which is to expected given the amount of data points that need to filtered).
Filtering one chart at a time is not option, so I wanted to ask you what do you think would be the best approach? (should I use vector instead?). To generalize this question what would be the best way to filter large collections in flex/as3?
I have to create an animation involving a big fast zoom with a little rotation and animating it on the timeline just doesn't cut it.I start with state 1 (see attached file state11.jpg) where there is an animation and then I want a fast smooth zoom until I reach State 2 (see attached file state2.jpg). In the first state the "map" occupies the entire screen, but when it reaches state 2 the map is inside a mask and the other elements will start appearing.how to create this zoom smoothly with actionscript? I am really lost here and I know somethings about actionscript but I just cannot do this and my timing is today...

I need to know how to use the Back/Foward buttons with IE. I have a movie that has several frames. Each frame is a section of the page. If you go to a different section of the page, I want to be able to use the back button to go back to the previous section you were at. I have searched around and found this, but it is of little help to me. I don't know anything about how to use Javascript and flash. URL] I have heard rumors that there is a way to do this with named anchors?

Problem is that my rewind and fast forward buttons do not work properly in the sense that they start to mess up when you fast forward or rewind past the current scene. It seems to just skip through the whole movie and totally mess up the animation.the code for the controls is on a single layer and reads as the following:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function (){
