I have a game that I need to have a character randomly move into positions after an alloted time. I wrote some code that works perfect for my external movies to come in, but I can't figure out how I would make this code work for one movieclip playing random sequences.[code]
View 1 RepliesI am using the load random movie script: [URL] with no problems. I would like to add some functionality to it though. How would I make it so once the movie loaded plays, it will play another movie from the array, but picked randomly as well?
View 6 RepliesI have an mp3 playing. What I would like is to have a movieclip that is located in the library appear, complete it's animation then get removed. The movie clip must complete this proccess 4 times, randomly during the length of the song but never at the same time and not in the last 5 seconds of the song. BTW I can't do this manually by just firing it off a random amount of times because this code will be used with lots of different mp3's, so I need to use the dynamic data I get by retrieving the song length.
I have the code working to retrieve the length of the song, and I have a variable that stores the length minus 5 seconds from the end, so I bascially have the length of time I wish to work with. My problem is making the movie clips appear 4 times randomly throughout that length of time. The code is below (what I have so far), the movieclip is stored in the library as circle_mc.
The timer I'm using at the beginning of the code (to retrieve the length of the song) is set to run after 2 seconds this is because there is a delay in the music starting and if it did it instantly the number retrieved obviously would be 0, so I delay it by 2 secs till I know the song is playing. At the moment I'm just trying to get it to fire twice, at the moment it fires once or not at all

I want my movie to loop. Would prefer an If/Else loop so that the movie plays a certain number of times then plays the opening of a screen then stops. This is a simple 4 screen ad I am doing for a school project. Can't get it to work. I tried containing my code in the proper loop syntax, didn't work. Then wrapping the loop in a function and calling that with a timer event, didn't work. My final solution was to call my whole movie in a timer event set to play once. Then calling the entire movie again in a second timer event set to play 20 times and set to start at an interval when the first movie ended. This did work but each time the movie plays thru function calls drop off making the movie degrade.

I�v build a simple flash projector to offer to my local fire department Essentially they used to in internal audio alarms to warn firefighters when there is an accident, fire, aggression, etcIn the version 1.0 they click several buttons, one to play the alarm sound, otherto announce the vehicle or vehicles that goes out, and a last one that says what is occurring.
The problem they report is that the sounds play immediately when you click in each of the buttons, and even the sound overlaps the other, which makes they click on each button and have to wait for the sound to finish and then click next. All this is normal because I associated the sounds to the buttons. What do I need to do the flash in this order in the version 2 of my projector:
1 The Fireman choose the type of alarm you want to play and click the button corresponding (but do not want the sound to play now) let's imagine that he pressed the button "alarm 1"
2 The Fireman choose (s) vehicles which are going out to the occurrence (but do not want the sound to play now) let's imagine that pressed the button "ABSC01"
3 The Fireman choose the type of occurrence (but do not want the sound to play now) we will imagine that pressed the button "fire"
4 finally the fireman holding down the "PLAY" (the green on on the top of the image) and this Makes the sounds selected to start playing in sequence, liker "Alarm 1" then "ABSC01 "and then" Fire "
Logically speaking I believe that each button must declare a variable associated with every unique sound, and then pressing the button takes the variables and plays them in sequence and without overlapping sounds.
What I have is a ninja star that spins around and moves based on the accelerometer of your phone. I created a balloon popping animation and have it all working well. The problem is that as of right now I can either have it be static and animate once the ninja star hits it, or I can have it randomly move and then play the animation which is not what I want. I want it like this: When the ninja star hits the balloon, the animation of it popping plays. And then once the animation is complete, then I want it to randomly move to a new position on the stage. (so the user can hit it again, and so forth...)
Here is my code so you can all take a look.
import flash.sensors.Accelerometer;
import flash.events.AccelerometerEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
var my_acc:Accelerometer = new Accelerometer();
my_acc.setRequestedUpdateInterval(50);

I trying to randomly jump to a frame in a sequnce of pictures on the timeline. Neither of the parts work below - the first "if/then" statements or the commented out switch code. Very frustrated with Flash CS5. Do I really need to learn AS3 to use CS5? I'm having other issues with code I've used in CS3 Flash not working in CS5. If I'm setting the publish settings to AS 2 and Flash Player 8 it should work, right? [code]...
View 5 RepliesI have a main swf that loads swf with photo gallery. Photos change with timer. But when i remove child with gallery in main swf timer still works and loads photos. I can see that in my trace window and in bandwidth profile while testing swf. Is there any special reason why removing child does not kill/stop timer and do i have to stop it from my main swf or is there any workarounds?
edit: I just read this article: [URL]
So i have to remove listener in my main application in order to stop timer?
I'm looking for will all happen in about two or three seconds. I'm re-building my own website using AS3 package classes. When the API loads I want everything to appear in sequence from invisible to visible. First the logo, a few lines drawing themselves, then all the navigation buttons at the top appearing in a quick-fire horizontal row, then the content rolls in, etc. I want strict, accurate control over about two or three seconds, of how and when everything on stage goes from invisible to visible in a quick-fire sequence. I know it can all be done with several timers for each alpha going from 0 to 1. But can all the variables going from alpha 0 to 1 be bundled into an Array? And the Array fired by ONLY ONE Timer using a For Loop? Or am I just barking up the wrong tree? Should I just use a bunch of Timers? I want to avoid a Tween because I want very accurate control of the quick-fire invisible to visible effect. And I want it to be easy to change later. Can this effect be done by ONLY ONE Timer rather than several Timers? And if it can, how do I make the timer fire all variables in strict sequence? Do I use an Array with a For Loop? Or something else? I've been looking for a couple of days but still haven't found anything close.
View 2 Replieshow on earth do you get a timer to fire randomly? I've had little practice with timers but thought this would be a simply task to complete but cant figure out?
i've got a movieclip which"pulses" using the EnterFrame event, but would also like something else happen to this clip atrandom intervals using a timer. i've tried "timer = new Timer(Math.random() * 1000); but nothing - it just fires for the first time at a random time, then at set intervals after that....
how do you get it to randomly dispatch?
I have a swf that advances through a series of frames by pressing any key. I am trying to set up a timer so that on idle (no keypresses for X sec), it plays an audio clip.
My AS below works fine, but if you press keys very fast it seems to get out of sync and plays the audio almost randomly (at least faster than it should). Does anyone know what might be causing this? BTW, I have tried using a keylistener which seems to make it even worse by affecting the volume level randomly.
//ON THE INITIAL FRAME...
myInterval = setInterval(callback1, 20000);

I have created a MovieClip named "Target" and called it from actionscript. Inside this movie clip I have created an 'action' layer and written the code in it[code]...
Now I can get 10 animating circles in different places of the stage after every second. And every circles will leave the stage after completing the animation. Though I have given 'pink' color in that circle, that's why its generating with 'pink' color always. How do I change the color of each circle while it will generate?
I need a skip intro link in my movie that, when clicked, goes to the last frame of the movie and plays it.
View 7 RepliesI have exported a movie made in premier pro into a png sequence. Now I'm trying to put it in flash but when I import it, there doesn't seem to be a way for each png to occupy each key frame. Do I have to manually insert and align each png? That seems crazy because I have like 108 pngs.
View 5 RepliesIs there any way to use the "Export Movie" as "PNG Sequence" to work for movies where objects are animated with actionscript. Exporting like this works just dandy for normal animations, but it doesn't work for my current project. Basically I am creating images using mathematics and I want to be able to export the result as a png for use in other programs like photoshop; but since the images are created with actionscript the export just shows a blank image. Am I reduced to just taking a screenshot of the result and tediously removing all the should-be-transparent regions with the wand tool?

View 3 RepliesI'm expecting a bunch of different animations that were made in Flash CS3 as JPEG sequences, however, many of the animations contain seperate timelines that contain seperate movie clips. When I view it as an SWF, everything looks PERFECT, all the movie clips within the animation are moving like they should and it looks awesome. But when I export it as a JPEG sequence, the parts of the timeline that are seperate movie clips and in their own timelines are completely static and don't move.What settings do I need to have set so that, when I export it, the JPEG sequence looks and behaves just like the SWF?

View 2 Repliesit seems the only way to export with actionscript animation intact is to export as a Quicktime file, I decided to try something and it worked. I made the frames-per-second go from 30 down to 1. It took a looong time to export at 1fps but once it did, I loaded it into Premiere and adjusted the Speed/Duration, putting the speed at 3000 (30*100) and it looks very smooth. Not the neatest way to do things but it works, so I'm happyI guess the proper terminology for what I am looking for is to export as a PNG sequence with actionscript animation.In Flash CS5 after attempting to export to a Quicktime .mov file and it turning out extremely choppy no matter what (I tried things from here and here) until somewhere I found someone saying they always export as an image sequence.I could export as an image sequence so there would be no choppiness, then just import it into a video editing software.
That was until I noticed that the vcam I am using wasn't working in the finished product. The movie clips wouldn't animate, it would just be stuck on the first frame. Masks were also not working correctly (although this may not be an issue if I just lock the layers before exporting, not sure). So basically, I can't export in Quicktime - which does export with vcam, masks, and motion clips - because it's too slow and choppy, and I can't export as an image sequence (even though it wouldn't be choppy) because it doesn't export with all the things mentioned.So what do I do now? How can I export this with movie clips, vcam, etc. without it being slow and choppy!? Can I get vcam, movie clips, and masks to export in an image sequence?
I need to set up a Flash swf that enables me to drag and drop a series of shapes from point A to their individual point Bs. However, I need to ensure that this can only be done in a particular sequence. i.e. shape 1 must be moved first, then shape 2, etc. If the wrong shape is moved out of sequence, it snaps back to the starting position until the user moves the correct one.I have the following actionscript on a button within the movie clip which drags :
on(press) {
startDrag(this);
}
on(release) {
stopDrag();
[code]....
I need some way for the dragging and placing of each shape to only occur if the shape before it in the sequence has already been placed correctly.
how to sequence movie clips to play in a certain order. I want to play one movie clip that is animated using actions and then once that clip is finished, play the next one (naturally, to create some sort of design.)If I have two MC's that have separate scripts on them - how would I go about playing the first movie clip and once that animation is finished playing the next one?I've tried placing a 2ndmovieclipname.stop () style script at the end of the first movie clip.I am currently using Flash MX 2004.
PS - I do not have my clips animated with frames, so I don't believe the option to gotoAndPlay (frame x) is available to me.
i want to make an intro swf which is small and loads quickly but i would like the main swf to start loading while the intro is playing. i'm not worried about the intro finishing once the main movie is loaded but i just want to the main movie to START loading while the intro is playing to cut down on load time.
