I have a perctenage bar that loads up using Xscale. But my problem is it goes to the point and doesn't animate into the point its supose to stop at. Does anyone know how I can control the speed of it?
Code:
var peep1pct=(peep1loaded/peep1total);
peepbar1_mc.bar1_mc.scaleX=peep1pct;
peep1loaded_txt.text=(Math.round(peep1pct*100))+"%";
Title says it all. Is this possible, in a dynamic sense?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to control the exponential speed of the attached movie clip with AS but don't know where to start.I want the words to scroll through slowly at first and over 4 seconds the speed increases until they are all a blur.
View 2 RepliesI have randomly placed 40 pennies on the stage using a for loop, as well as making some of them smaller. They all start at the top of the stage and, right now, all fall down the stage at the same time.My trouble is trying to get the larger pennies to fall faster than the smaller pennies. I'm not sure how to single them out by size to control the speed.here is the code I have. I am only 3 weeks into ActionScript so please be specific (maybe provide an actual sample of code to use).[code]
View 2 RepliesI've been following/combining a few tutorials across the Internet. I'm looking at controlling the speed of a video with a slider. I've currently got the slider working and the video on stage but I'm a little unsure as to the algorithm required to make such a slider work. The video I want to control needs to move from half speed, 0.5-1 on left half of the bar and to double speed 1-2 on the right hand side of the bar.
The below is my code so far.
Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;import flash.events.Event;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

I'm looking for 1) an algorithm to slow/increase the speed and 2) a way to use the videoSpeed var to control the speed of a Movie Clip.
In my document I have my actionscript on Layer 1. In this I duplicate an enemy movie clip.The controls for moving the enemy are inside the enemy movie clip, so setting speed, where to start from etc.On the Layer 1, I also run a script which acts as a timer, and when it reaches set values (eg. 10 seconds) it "levels up" (basically just changes background colour). I wand this to increase the speed of the enemy movie clips so that they get faster. I have this code:
Actionscript Code:
for(i=1;i<=enemies;i++){ _root["enemyRight"].duplicateMovieClip("enemyRight"+i,i+1000,enemyRight);

Is it possible to control Speed of timeline with button or Slider?

View 4 RepliesI am currently working on a Flash application in which I have several vertical bars that go across the window, and when one of the bars is clicked on, the others move to either the left or the right to create space to the right of the selected bar for a large image.[URL].. I have already written enough of the script to get the bars to move to where they should be when they are clicked on, but they do it instantly--there is no show of movement between point 1 and point 2 (this being the starting and ending x coordinates for each movieclip).
If you're wondering about any of my number values, they are the way they are because the document is 800 wide, it has 5 vertical bars within it, each of them 30 wide, and the bars are 5 pixels apart when placed next to each other. Anyways, here's the script I am currently working with:
[Code]...
With this code, all the speed variable does is determine the length of the pause before the bar goes from its original x coordinate to its final x coordinate. I have tried to replace the line that reads "clip3_mc._x += speed;" with several variations ("clip3_mc._x ++;" , "clip_mc._x = clip_mc._x + 15"), but I don't think that's the issue.
Intended idea: User is able to set a beat speed for a music making program.
I'm trying to use for (var i:Number = 0; i < (variable); i++) {"addChild" to duplicate movie clips to visibly show where the beat is and then move the movie clips at a constant rate to the left to get it out of the way and then eventually remove the child.
Problem: The movie clip isn't moving. Once it's spawned and in it's position as defined by the function, no outside function can control it.
Code:
stop();
var yesorno:Boolean;
var numba:int;
var origbeat:MovieClip;

I'm having a buch of pictures of different height and width, which have to be loaded into different movieclips, and resized to 'bout 100px * 100px (so they're all the same size ~> thumbnails)
The problem width xscale and yscale, is that you have to specify the amount the movieclip/image resizes, in percentages instead of in pixels.
is there ANY way you can resize a dynamically loaded JPEG to EXACTLY 100*100 pixels ?
Here's my code (which doesn't work):
Code:
movieMain.thumbsHolder.createEmptyMovieClip("afbeelding" + j, j);
imageHolder = movieMain.thumbsHolder["afbeelding" + j]; imageHolder.loadMovie(path);
imageHolder._y = j * 200;
imageHolder._height = 100;
imageHolder._width = 100;
Where in my program files, I can find the class that calculates the _xscale value? I try to generate it for a class file. It would even be better if I could import the existing script, because there is always a small difference after the comma.
View 2 RepliesI have some xscale code that will distort my image between 98 and 60 degrees.
The code is updating the xscale position, I can trace the position of the MC and it is acting as it should. The code works if i have the movieclip being affected on the stage, however I'm trying to implement it inside a MC insidde another MC.[code]...
I'm using the tween class and have a rectangle which i would like to expand to the left. The only way i have been able to achieve this is if i pass my function a negative value, but this basically turns the rectangle over. Is there anyway to have it just start expanding for the left hand side out towards the left?
View 1 RepliesI've got an image slideshow, and a preloader for each individual image. I want the preloader BAR to be dynamically assigned the width of the banner, which is defined in a variable. Here are my preloader settings and function call:
ActionScript Code:
/****PRELOADER SETTINGS****/
progressBar._width = myVars["BANNER_WIDTH"];
progressBar._height = 2;
progressBar._visible = false;
progressBar._xscale = 0;
[Code] .....
Basically, what is happening is. The "progressBar" width is being defined as the variable BANNER_WIDTH, but when the _xscale property is run in my preloading function, it doesn't care what the banner width is. So what I want to say is. I want you to _xscale according to what is being loaded, but I don't want your _xscale to exceed BANNER_WIDTH's width. I don't know how to do this and keep the preloader accurate. I can only save as CS4, CS5.
I am making a photo gallery with thumbnails and when the mouse rolls over them, they increase in size. Problem: when they increase, they do not cover the other thumbnails completely, since it is only an _xscale percentage increase and not a new movie clip. So you can see all the other thumbnails over the increased photo size. It is a problem of swapping depths I'm sure--but do I have to take off all the thumbnails from the main level and load them dynamically onto different levels in order to be able to swap depths?
View 4 RepliesI want to add an animated .gif file to my movie. So I created a new symbol and then imported the .gif file to the stage. This created the symbol containing the animated .gif.I dragged the symbol onto the scene where I want it. However, the animation seems to play at a different speed (fps) than normal. So I changed the fps of the symbol (at bottom of Timeline where it says "fps"). But for some reason this changes the fps of the rest of the entire movie.
View 3 RepliesI'm tweening a movieclip from startX to finishX. The value of startX varies but finishX is a constant. But as the startX increases in value the animation appears to be quicker. How do I adjust the speed of the tween to ensure a consistant speed regardless of the value of startX?

View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip on my scene which has a speed applied to it making it move across the screen. This is duplicated when it reaches the other end of the screen.On my scene I have some action script which is acting as a timer. After a set time I want it to increase the speed of the movie clips, making the game become "harder". I seem to be able to manipulate the alpha of my movie clips but can't seem to trigger the speed increase.If i use a setInterval it seems to trigger the speed increase but it does it each time the movie clip is duplicated (so the delay resets, it does not change once and apply throughout)However, where I am changing the alpha I cannot seem to change the speed.

View 1 RepliesI have an image menu that starts off as black and white and when the mouse hovers over it, it enlarges and changes to colour. It works a treat but I would like the transition from black & white to colour to be faster. Is there anyway of doing this without much(hardly any) flash knowledge.
Here is the fade in/out script:
MovieClip.prototype.fade = function(dir:String, addInteger:Number, f):Void {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
//this.step = (dir == "in") ? 0 : 100;
this.step = this._alpha;
this.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
this.step = (dir == "in") ? this.step+addInteger : this.step-addInteger;
this._alpha = this.step;
if (((dir == "in") && this._alpha>=100) || ((dir == "out") && this._alpha<=0)) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
f();}};};
I currently have an animation that rotate infinitely but it's just too fast to begin with... I tried lowering the fps to 12 but it would just be skip.... Is there a possibility to make the animation slower by this code:

//Save the horizontal center
var centerX:Number = stage.stageWidth / 2;

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?

var currentDonations = 80; // Percentage of donations taken
var currentHeight = (currentDonations / 100) * maxMercuryHeight;

I have created a project that loads many swfs file. These swfs contain many transition and tweens. When I writting my project in cd and check it in other computer my transition run very very low speed and bad.
View 4 Replieshow much slower(if) is an embeded swf compared to un-embedded.
i noticed quite a big difference.
ive 2 test swfs here. try them if u bother, and tell me if its same for u
the swf�s are identical
[URL]
when the swf finishes loading, click on it, and press "L" which loads a large MovieClip. then click and drag it to see the lag.
if u have the same lag difference, and it is because of embedding it, would it be too bad idea to make full flash sites without embedding them, but rather have a url ending with .swf
