is it's possible to create a similar effect to this menu:[Url] on a xml loaded text, in Flash. Would I need to create a mask and place it above the text then tween it's x position using tweener? would that work?
View 4 RepliesI 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.
First let me say that I am just starting out in AS3 so this may be a simple problem that I am having due to my lack of experience. Goal: I have a mask over a mc that holds video being streamed in. This mask is set to show only a portion of the video and when the user mouses over the mask I want it to expand to show the whole movie. When the user mouses off the mask I want it to re-size back to its original size.Problem: The second time the mouse is over the mask, it does get tweened to the larger size, but you do NOT see the animation occur. It just blinks in.Code:I have included everything but my video class and grid class.For this I have turned off my grid. BTW this my FLA file includes this class. I have this feeding from an xml file, i removed that code. I also have 2 other movies that will function the same as movie1 but I have removed that code. Once I get movie1 working it should be fine for movies 2 and 3.
Code:
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
import flash.utils.Timer;
[code].....
So I have a text which is saying for instance "hello". And when i press a button there is an animation which starts to erase the "hello" text and a pencil is writing a second text. So somewhere in the middle there is a blank text holder( i mean the place where the text is suppose to be)! The question is - is there a way with code when the animation have reached a certain frame to change the text because i can't do it with animation!

View 7 Repliesi have a dynamic text block which is inside a movie clip, is i grouped with other elements.This movie clip sits behind a mask. when i am in the movie clip i can see the text field, when i am on the root level (and the mask is disabled) i can see the text, but when i preview the movie the text IS GONE or I CAN'T SEE IT.
View 1 RepliesHello Flash World, Ok, I may have posted this question before but I am still confused. I have a Master Movie Clip that has a Mask over it. By having that mask I can't view my dynamic text box that is scrollable. How do I embed a font so I can view my dynamic text box? (Im using AS2) attach is a file that explains my problem.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to set a mask on a mc containing dynamic text. But, the only thing that are visible, are graphics, not text.
When i remove the mask, the text comes back.
i heard that i have to embed my fonts for that, but how can i do it?

View 1 RepliesI've been trying to dynamically change some text for a titlebar that is behind a mask
However, I find that when I change the text of the dynamic text field (whose containing movieclip is masked by a graphic), the text no longer appears at all.
When i remove the masking, the text changes properly when asked, but when it it masked, the text does not show at all.
Any one know,how to mask a dynamic text field
View 3 RepliesI've discovered the joy that you cannot display dynamic text boxes if they are masked.After browsing the internet I found a few things to try, first embedding the font, which I have done, and that didn't work.The other solution involves setting the mask to a display object, which I've done, sort of.I create a Sprite() in code (I use Flex Develop, and never code on the time line), then use the Sprite.graphics to draw the mask, then set my main stage movieClip's .mask property to equal this layer.
View 3 Repliesi have the AS setting the mask, and my fonts are embedded.. but the dynamic text doesnt mask my other movieclip.my dynamic text is "fly_in" MC with the text field inside. the MC label is: "headerTxt_mask" the sheen is labeled "sheenMC" and put in a layer below "headerTxt_mask" in the same "fly_in" MC then on the first frame of my scene i have:
ActionScript Code:
fly_in.sheenMC.setMask(fly_in.headerTxt_mask);
The dynamic txt field is supposed to be the mask for the sheen, so all you see is the sheen...
I have a dynamic text box and i want to mask it but its not working. i remember once someone was showing me something that had to be done to a dynamic text box to get _alpha effects on them and I wonder if its the same thing. Problem is, I don't know what that "thing" is.

var xml:XML;

I'm sure this has been asked in some way or another a couple of times before, and sually the first response seems to be..."are your fonts embedded?" Yes, they are. I am using a couple of different tweening classes (it happens with all of them). Basically what I'm doing is a simple sliding in and sliding out animation via the x and y properties of a movieclip. It only happens to a few movieclips, but some (not all) of my dynamic textfields disappear when doing this. When I click in the area that they are supposed to be, it magically appears. I have even tried creating the masks dynamically to stop the bug with no luck. It is very sporadic, but does anyone know/have experience with how to solve this problem?
View 9 RepliesI have created a list of MC's with dynamic text via xml to create a list of mc Buttons. All works well as I wanted, but as th elist is too long i want to create a scroller for these, anyway when I apply the mask and test this all the text dissappears, they are there as the links all work but the text seems to have turned invisible, want am i doing worng.
I am creating each mc button dynamically like:
var venueBtn:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var venueTxt:TextField = new TextField();
etc
why the text disappears when appling a mask
I am coding a website I am using caurina tweener and hove problem with pretty much every object that i try to tween. Problem is that the tweened object sometimes just don't finish the animation. That's pretty annoying and i heard that this could be something with garbage collection. Here is some sample code Tweener.addTween(this, { rotationX:0, time:.5 } ); //Where 'this' is movieClip
View 2 RepliesHow can i get the tweener animation to endlessly loop? I'm trying to animate a banner ad and i need the info to animate in, pause and animate out. Then repeat. Works great until it's time to restart.

I have this text "my text is <b>bold</b> and regular".
I want "<b>bold</b>" to be... well, let's say... bold !
I have a mask layer under which there is a text field.
The text field shows htmlText, and i must embed chars. If not embedded, it doesn't display because of the mask. So the solution of importing 2 user fonts ( one bold and one regular) does not work.
im trying to scroll a movie clip that contains dynamic text and is covered by a mask. However when i publish the movie i cant see the dynamic text?
View 3 RepliesI've just come across a problem when using the caurina Tweener for AS2. It works fine with an absolute instance name, for an object on the stage; however as soon as I try to use a dynamic instance name - it stops recognizing simple properties like _x and _y, returning this Output message:
## [Tweener] Error: The property '_height' doesn't seem to be a normal object property of menu1 or a registered special property.
## [Tweener] Error: The property '_width' doesn't seem to be a normal object property of menu1 or a registered special property.
## [Tweener] Error: The property '_y' doesn't seem to be a normal object property of menu1 or a registered special property.
## [Tweener] Error: The property '_x' doesn't seem to be a normal object property of menu1 or a registered special property.
Here is a code snippet:
ActionScript Code:
_root.currentitem = 1;
_root.xpos = 0;
_root.ypos = 0;
Tweener.addTween(["menu"+_root.currentitem], {_x:_root.xpos, _y:_root.ypos, _width:85.0, _height:85.0, time:_root.clicktime, transition:_root.clicktype});
All other tweens work fine. There are objects on the stage with instance names of "menu1", "menu2" etc.
I'm trying to do something and I would need some help to find out the best way to do that.I'm trying to recreate the little animation on the text there is on the Iphone where it says "slide to unlock". Easy animation with a mask. But how to do that if the text is dynamic and I don't know the height and length of the button. Should I duplicate the textfield? is there a better way to do that?
View 2 RepliesSo I have a button I want to be able to use over and over. When you roll over the button, it does an animation and has a dynamic text box in it. Ovbiously im trying to make each text different for each button.
View 7 RepliesI have dynamic text that needs to animate slowly across the screen but right now it jerks in 1 pixel increments as compared to the vector graphics accompanying it.
I've increased the frame rate, converted it to a bitmap, applied GridFitType, etc., none of which (or my implementation) seemed to work.
Is there a way to achieve smooth animation with dynamic text at slow animation speeds?
So I'm working on a project where I'm building a flash loop to play on a display in an office lobby. I'm making it so there are static elements in the animation as well as dynamic elements. I'm thinking it will pull in all the data from an XML document - I've got that worked out. Here's where I'm stuck.
I know how to use Actionscript to dynamically create a text component, and I'm using TweenLite to animate that text component -- but how would I go about setting up a class that looks at the total number of dynamic screens that need to be created and animate all the text in a sequential order...one slide at a time.
Check out the TextAnim library. A class for dynamic text animation in AS3, that is event based, tween engine independent and sure, it's free! TextAnim works creating blocks of text, then applying functions that you create to each one of them. We call these functions as effects. These functions must receives a TextAnimBlock as a parameter to be free to make the animation you want.
Here is the most basic example:
Code:
Select allimport flupie.textanim.*;
var myTextAnim:TextAnim = new TextAnim(myTextField);
myTextAnim.effects = myEffect;
myTextAnim.start();
function myEffect(block:TextAnimBlock):void {
block.alpha = 0;
tween.to(block, {alpha:1, time:.5});
}
You can download the latest stable version of TextAnim, check out Flupie blog to get a few examples with source, read the documentation or get TextAnim code generator, called TextAnim Maker.
