ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing The Tweening Direction?
Sep 21, 2009
I have small popup box which expands from size zero to some size when clicked on the expand button.
The location of this expand button is dynamic.Hence I want to change the the direction in which this expansion happens depending on the position of the expand button.
For example if the expand button is at the bottom right corner of the stage i want the popup box to expand upwards and leftwards.
If the expand button is at the top left then i want the popup box to expand downwards and rightwards.
I have only one movieclip for the popup box with the registration point at the top left corner.
I tried to achieve this by dynamically changing the registration point of the popup box movieclip using the DynamicMovie class. But no luck.
If I manually change the registration point it is working.

Would some wonderful person be willing to take a look at this code and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I'm trying to use ENTER_FRAME method to get a moving movieclip to change direction when it hits certain x and y coordinates. I want the movieclip to move horizontally, then down, then horizontally again. With this code my movieclip starts off moving down at a diagonal and I can't for the life of me figure out why. (probably something simple I'm overlooking?) I'm a beginner at actionscript.

I have been following through the "gallery" tutorials here on Kirupa, and finally got to the third version (the one with the auto-scrolling thumbnails along the bottom, which scroll left / right based on the mouse pointer position, and the keyboard Left / Right scrolling).
I need my thumbnails to scroll UP and DOWN instead of LEFT and RIGHT, and have been trying to modify the ActionScript that came with the downloadable .fla file for the tutorial, but without complete success yet. (The functionality of the whole thing is still intact except for the scrolling thumbnails.)
Here is the portion of the AS that addresses the thumbnail scroller, and I have highlighted in red the variables that I believe need to be swapped around for it to scroll vertically instead of horizontally. I have made the obvious changes such as :-
_width changed to _height
hit_left changed to hit_up
hit_right changed to hit_down
_x changed to _y
[Code].....
Again, this is the ORIGINAL ActionScript, not my modified version. Only the items highlighted in red have been changed in my modified version. Basically when I test the movie now, I get the last two thumbnails of the gallery transposed one over the other, at the point of the movie clip instance, and no scrolling at all. When I use the UP and DOWN keys, I do get to "manually" scroll through the big images, but no change in the thumbnail area.
What have I screwed up or overlooked? I have scanned and scanned and scanned the above section of the AS, and I can't see any other variables that ought to be meddled with.

I am creating a ping pong game. And I want to create the ability to control the direction of the ball based on the impact on the paddle. If the ball is coming down at vy = 4; vx = 4;
and the paddle is moving to the left at vx = -5; I want the ball to slightly change its course depending on how fast the paddle is moving. It would probably reduce the balls vx speed on collision, therefore making the ball move more straight (close to the Y axis) when it is moving back up.
I figure the solution for probably doing this would be to measure how fast the paddle is going. My problem is the paddle is controlled by the mouse and has no certain speed. I am trying to figure out how I can measure the speed of my mouse traveling on the x axis.
I am probably going to create a timer that fires every few seconds to determine where the mouse was and where it is at. figure the difference and that will be the speed

I am trying to make a bowling alley type of game. I want the ball to change angle when it reaches the gutter, but the problem I am facing is, how can I check when the ball has reached the gutter as the bounding box for a line/box in perspective is bigger and I want to check any point on the line when the ball is passing/crossing that point and moving so that I can change its angle and direction. And also does anybody have a collision method algorithm or physics to create the falling of PINS when the ball hits the PINS.

I'm getting the following error: Motion tweening will not occur on layers with ungrouped shapes or on layers with more than one group or symbol. I don't have any ungrouped shapes (it's all text), each layer has 5 instances of only one symbol (keyframes), no objects are grouped and text is all static text.
When watching the animation, the first word (web) looks fine, on the second word (design) the tween fails on the last couple of frames of that clip (the blur filter disappears), the third word (and) is OK, and on the forth word (development) the blur filter is not applied to the last 16 frames of that clip.I broke each animation into its own MC thinking that was causing the issue, but that didn't fix anything.

I want to create another button on the main menu of my flash site. I want to take one of the existing buttons (which are set as movie clips) and modify it to show a different menu name and page link. BUT when I go into my library and "duplicate" my movie clip, change the instance name, drag it to the stage and attempt to modify it, the original changes as well. I need to keep the original the same and create a new one with the same code, frames, etc but with different static text. I keep going in circles

I have some buttons on a stage that when click change the scale and the position of another movieclip sitting on the stage. All works well but I'd like to make it bit more....cool
Is it possible to tween, maybe with an ease, between the current position and the position when the button is clicked?

I currently have a flash file and it all works fine, but I'm about to update it and it will become a little complicated to update the way I have set it up.
I have 15 pages (going to be updated to 40pages soon) and a side menu, clicking on one of the tabs in the menu will animate the relevant page onto the stage. Here is the code I am using[code]...

I have imported two images from PS to Flash in PNG format. They are the perfect size and ready to use (i.e. not scaling these images). When I convert them to movies, the animation looks great in Flash, but when I export them they only look good when I have the HTML settings set to "Best". If I don't have this setting on, it looks like crap (i.e. very jagged). These are photos btw, not vector images or shapes.
The reason I want this to be optimized without the control of HTML is because I am creating web banners for advertising. When I submit my swf file to the webmaster, they basically will embed the swf with whatever settings they choose. If they don't have the setting on "Best", the file looks like crap. Allow smoothing is on.
1. When I import the PNG image, can I safely select JPG compression via the Bitmap Properties? Or do I need to keep it as lossless? If I select JPG, I can considerably reduce the filesize, although I'm not sure if that causes the images to look jagged as well.
2. Is there anything I can do outside the HTML settings to display my animations without the jagged edges? I need to keep my filesize under 50Kb which is pretty hard when working with photos and animation etc.

I know the basics of tweening with action script but I have a picture set in the center of the stage at x = 50. On a click I would like that picture move - 10 x from that position so it will end the tween at 40. On a different button I would like to do the oppositie, + 10 x to its current position so if it was at 40 it would be back to the start and if it was at the start it would be at 60.

I tried to refresh my little flash knowledge -- but I stumbled upon a problem with the new Flash CS4!
When I try to make different blur or alpha effect on one keyframe I got after making the motion tween -- Flash adjust the other keyframe as well (got the same reaction on both keyframes as if it was the same instance of movie clip -- and not as in old flash; the keyframes created separated or independent instances)
The only thing working for me is when I move the movie clip out of the stage on the first keyframe -- and it correctly move its position.

Just wondering if there is a way to hide the tweening path (ie motion path) of a motion tween animation when scrubbing. I have a number of objects in motion and while I am scrubbing the animation, the tweening path is kind of distracting so I would like to hide them. Is there anyway to show/hide the tweening paths?

I'm making a banner in flash, and are moving some simple objects around.I mainy use vector squares, but when I tween them (classic tween) in a slow motion, the shape starts to "flicker" or "lag". Why is this?I think there has to be something with the calculations Flash is doing, but why can't it make the animation smooth?

i'm unsuccessfully trying to rotate a rectangle around an external point while tweening. i'm trying to lock the top of the red rectangle to the line while it tweens from left to right and rotates from 0º to 90º.the image above shows 3 states of the tween. state 1 shows the red rectangle at the start of the line with no angle. state 2 shows the red rectangle has tweened half way along the line with an angle of 45º that is also half the total angle of 90º. state 3 shows the final position of the tween where the red rectangle has an angle of 90º and is placed at the edge of the line.it seems the problem i'm experiencing is that while tweening, the rotation causes the top of the red rectangle to lose sync with the black line.here is my code that doesn't work, but hopefully will give you a clearer picture of what i'm attempting.
var angle:Number = 90;
var previousAngle:Number = 0;
var distanceObject:Object = new Object();[code].....

I have an image that tweens in under a mask, then when a button is clicked a new image appears in the same way further down the timeline. When the button is clicked, the old image disappears and the new image appears as the mask reveals it. This leaves a blank spot in its place on the page a very brief period while the new image is being revealed. What I would like to do is have the old image stay visible (not suddenly disappear) in the background (when the button is clicked) until the new image completely appears over it and covers it up. Placing the old image in a new layer under the new image is not an option because there are so many images that they could jump to or from that it is impossible to predict which image they would go to next, so I need to find a way to keep the previous image still visible.

know a few basics of actionscript but nothing more. I'm trying to create a simple intro to a have a movie clip (a line of text) moving across the stage using a this simple code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
speed = 3;
this._x += speed;
}
-So now that I have it moving, as soon as the front end of it reaches the edge of the stage I wish to have it wrap to the opposite edge of the stage and repeat. So if that is too wordy basically I want a constant line of text moving across the screen.

i'm looking at the site [URL] and notice that when you click the links, when the content box resizes, its height only expands from the bottom and isnt equally distributed. Is there a special way to do this? Or do you think they just have a movie clip on the bottom that expands both way and is just covered by another of the same color so it appears as if only the bottom is expanding?
