ActionScript 3.0 :: Character Animation And Transition In Flex
May 12, 2010
I just started developing in "Flash Builder 4" (flex framework) and I just can't figure out what the development process of animating characters should look like. My goal is to animate (standing - walking - jumping ...) a simple character like the stick figures in the game "Stick War" [URL]. I know there is a technique to do so by shape tweening in the Adobe Flash tool by using keyframes. But what I can't figure out is how to do it in Flex. Also it would be nice to get a description of a workflow from drawings to animation to code. Especially how to encapsulate the animated character in a class that manages the transition from e.g. running to jumping.

I have an image in Flex I want to change the image with actionscript to show some other image say every 3 seconds or so. I also want to make transition between the image and the next one for instance fade in/out.

does anyone know how to disable that slide animation and just have the action bar instantly change to whatever action bar the next view contains, but still do a slide navigation for the rest of the view. My Action bar doesn't change on every page so seeing the same image reload repetitively in the action bar.

I have a 9 frames image of a character.In other language generally i used to make character animation by looping the array consisting of different frames and drawing each frame when pressing key.What i want to do is when i press left or right key, i want to draw each frame that makes character movement and update x coordinates of frames, and it will appear as character is moving.

so I have a looping animation that is several frames long. Inside the animation is a button, when pressed I want to go to another part of the timeline, where another animation is waiting. Simple, I got that working no problem. But... I need the first animation to go to the last frame in the loop before starting the next animation. The way I have it now makes an ugly cut, and the transition between animations isn't seamless.

i have a flex app that transitions between 2 states with the toggle of a button. my issue is that the effect of fading only seems to work on the 2nd transition and after. However, for my first transition... going from State1 to studyState... there is no fade effect whatsoever, in fact the components in state1 disappear completely (the footer fills the empty gap where the "body" use to be) and then the flex recreates the studyState (without any fade refilling the "body" with components only in studyState). After this first transition however, going between studyState and State1 working COMPLETELY fine.. why does this happen and how can i make it so that crossfade works STARTING FROM THE VERY FIRST TRANSITION?[code]

I need to create an animation which is trigerred when the cursor hovers over it. The animation is an acronym which expands to its full form, eg when I hover over "CSS3" . it should expand to "cascading style sheet" with ascading appearing in between the letters "C" and "S" with the letters coming one after the other will it be possible only through CSS3?Editor notes, I presume he means, like the new letters are typed, rather then just appear all at once)

I am trying to make a movie in flash, and each character is its own movie clip symbol. I also have a variable for each character, to control the current animation running. I have one character in the movie, for now, and that movie clip symbol is called mann. It is just a simple draw, I am just testing this method out. Now, the first frame of the movie, has this action:
--
mann1_anim = 1;
--
That is the first time I use that variable, so then it will be created, right? anyway, then, the first frame of the main movie clip symbol has this action:
--
mann.stop();
while (mann1_anim == 1) { }
mann.gotoAndPlay(mann1_anim);
--
On that first frame, my man character only stands, so this action should do so that while the mann1_anim variable is 1, the man should just stand there, right?
Then, the 9th frame of the MOVIE, has this action:
--
mann1_anim = 2;
--
Then something should happened in the action of the first frame of the main movie clip symbol, because mann1_anim is no longer 1. Then the mann movie clip should start and play at frame 2, right? From frame 9 of the MOVIE to frame 22, I have created a motion tween for the main symbol. from right of the screen to the left. Then, in the 2nd frame of the main MovieClip to the 3th frame, is the "walk to the left" animation.
At the 3rd frame of the MovieClip, I have this action:
--
while (mann1_anim == 2) {
mann.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
mann.gotoandplay(mann1_anim);
--
This should loop the walk to the left animation to frame 22 of the movie, cause in frame 22 of the movie, when the tween animation stops, is this action:
--
mann1_anim = 1;
--
So then, when the tween animation stops, the mann symbol should return to the stand animation (frame 1). Well, that was a lot of explenation, and here is the problem. When I test the movie, the main runs its complete animation all the time! I have uploaded my work file(fla) here [URL].

I am currently making a platformer game but I can't seem to get a walking animation for my character. So far I have made a character which can move fine. Inside the characters movie clip are 2 frames (one standing and one walking) Now my problem is that I can get my character to move right and play the walking animation but when I walk left the walking animation doesn't play but the character still moves. I am using action script 2 and flash pro 8
onClipEvent (load) {
var ground:MovieClip = _root.ground;
var grav:Number = 0;
var gravity:Number = 2;
var speed:Number = 7;

Should I use Movie Clip or Graphic Symbols for Character Animation? What do people who make TV shows use. If I'm not planning on manipulating any symbols with ActionScript and I'm not using a symbol that requires it's own time line like a walk cycle, is there any reason to use movie clips symbols? If I put my animation on the web will it download noticeably faster if I use graphic symbols instead of movie clip symbols?

I am trying to make a walking animation for a character with customizable parts. I can't seem to get this code to work correctly:
[Code]...
playerStance defines if the character is idle or walking, in this case walkingchar is a MC containing 2 frames : idle and walk (the frames contain MC:s for the current animation, in this case charwalk)charwalk contains 2 keyframes and the others are filler frames, the keyframes in this case are 1 and 16charwalk contains layers for all of the character parts, for example bottom1 (is located in frame 1)all of the parts contain frames for every variation of that partin every frame of the parts is a code : stop(); to prevent them from playing when I gotoAndPlay charwalkWhen I play this and update the parts after changing parameters, the algorithm returns a right value, but the parts don't go to the correct frames. Instead they are kept in the first frame.

I have flash animation (swf) in my HTML Page.
Now, I like to have my flash animated character (700kb) to speak dialogues, the related text should pop and go in the html side of the page.
I've already used this amazing cool script from Text highlight with audio sync in Jquery by Marnix van Valen & HTML5 works cool as he says. BUT, what about flash?

I am making a frame by frame animation, where I draw a character, make a new frame and use the onion skin to slightly move my character. Is there a way to make a certain part faster than others? I made a character prepare to kick someone, but since i was doing it frame by frame it looks slow. So instead of taking out frames and making it look choppy, how do I make a certain part faster or increase its FPS? I tried making a new scene and changing its FPS, but that still changes the overall FPS.

I made an animation in Flash which I want to embed in Flex using SWFloader.
I've imported the tweener class (caurina.transitions.*) to tween a rotation. The animation runs perfectly in Flash.
However, when I embed the animation in Flex, the tweening is gone.
Do I need to import the tweener class in Flex?
I use Flash Player 10 (latest version), Flash CS4 Professional version 10.0.02, IE8 and Flex Builder 3.

I have this object in Flex 4
[Code]....
It is a circle divided into 5 equal parts each 72 degrees. So each state you can see is increases the rotation by 72 degrees. I have a transition for the rotation when the state changes like so:
[Code]....
Being that this is a circle you can actually rotate CW or CCW to get to the right degree for the state. Usually the rotation-transition uses whichever is lower. For example to get from Classic to Centro (0 to 72) it goes CW. But this is not always the case. To go from Lace to Lido (144 to 216) it goes CCW. This is not desired sense it would make a much better transition to go CW because it requires less spinning of the circle to get to the desired degree.
