I'm new for flash. I would like to know I need to fire what event which can detect frame animation finish? I need to pass a parameter from swf to flex to inform frame animation finish.

View 4 RepliesI have looked all over internet and so many different forums but no1 has the answer yet but here is what i rly wanna do in AS2 :
lets say i have a button(which is a MovieClip and not an actual button) tweening in size to 150% from frame 1 to 40 and then another tween sizing it back to 100% from frame 40 to 80. Then when some1 Rolls Over the button you see this animation going in a loop from 1 to 80 and again and again etc. BUT i actually want a Roll OUT that finishes the animation to frame 80 (even when some1 rolls out on frame 10 or so) and then returns to and stops on frame 1.
This seems quite easy to me and i used several stuff including currentframe etc but i cant make it to work.
I made the animation in the flesh, which to run on a rollover, but when I remove Mouse and repay it back even though the animation is not finished interrupts and start over again to make the animation goes to the end no matter what I returned the mouse on the animationmeans:how to make the animation reaches its conclusion no matter if the mouse back over the animation
View 1 RepliesI have a child component that dispatches an event in Parent. The event in parent makes a call to our database. Right now, the event gets fired off & the child continues without the results. How do I make it so that the child waits for the results from the database b/f the child continues?
in child:

I have 4 flyout buttons on my flash and when you RollOut of the button, it plays the closing animation. But if you quickly move the mouse back onto the button before it is finished playing the RollOut, then it gets stuck and flashes and kind of strobes.
View 4 RepliesIve got a standard flash file with the option to play one of three FLVs and when each flv is clicked it makes the others stop.What I need to do is set an action so that when an flv reaches the end of its duration it goes to a specific frame in the timeline?
ps. here is my code
Code:
stop();

I'm trying to think of an AddEventListener...When a timeline animation is playing, and it reaches a certain frame, in which the event listener would listen for.

I'm working on an mp3 player. I want to trigger an event when the track finishes playing. I've created a function that will just trace a statement so that I know the event listener is working, but I can't seem to get it to trigger. Here is the playSong function in which the code is used:
Code:
function playSong(mySong:Number):void {
var myURL = my_songs[mySong].@URL;
playingTra = mySong;
current_song = mySong;
my_sound = new Sound();
[Code] .....
I tried to add in the following lines, but that instead institutes some playback issues:
Code:
if (my_channel){
my_channel.stop();
my_channel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, stuff);
}
I'm using the Actionscript Timer class. What happens if I run a function every 3 seconds, but the function takes 4 seconds to complete? Does the Timer object queue up events? I guess this must happen if only 1 thread is being used?

View 1 RepliesIt seems to be the case that the MOTION_FINISH event fires of prematurely in the Flash Tween class. I've heard that it is not the best tween engine to use, but this seems like a particularly egregious. I am using "Strong.easeOut" for the motion. What are some alternative tween engines that people like?
View 1 RepliesMy objective is to paste together several ( a lot, actually ) armature animations, each in a separate symbol.I have no idea how to do it, armature layers are a bit... strange. So i see only one solution: convert it to a regular layer.
View 1 Repliesif I have an event listerner (mouse, keyboard, enterframe,....event) that is being triggered, and when it finishes its event, something that is able to detect the finished event listener and fire out another sets of event.
It works more like MOTION_FINISH in TweenEvent, but it is only available for TweenEvent only, what if I want to detect a mousclick, keyboard, enterframe or even touch event?
Anyway what I need to do is have a movie clip finish playing when a button is clicked and then go to the frame label associated with the button. I hope I'm explaining myself ok. So if I had say 4 buttons Home Gallery About Contact If Contact is clicked then I want the Home page to play (Which is a fade out) and then go to Contact Page (which will fade in). Then If Gallery is clicked then I want Contact to fade out and then go to Gallery page and fade in.
View 6 Repliesso 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.

The app I want to build is an interactive map for a site I'm designing. In a nut shell, students looking to enter an exchange program should be able to use the map-image (as in, an actual 'map of the world') to preview possible destinations (I've attached an image of the two basic states to clarify).
After an introductory animation, I want a mouse-over to trigger a function that populates the map-image with a series of buttons. I need the buttons to be distributed according to information in an XML file (ie. x/y coords, some information text, and an animation to load upon being clicked). I want each button to call a mouse-over function that loads info data from an XML field and place it in a dynamic text field at the top. Then, I want each button, when clicked, to call a function that animates replacing the map-image with an image of the corresponding travel destination. Finally, I want a button on each image that will clear that image from the stage and call the function that populates the map so the process can start again.
I'm working out of a couple of books on AS3, but I'm a little hazy on how I ought to be constructing this thing. So here's the first place I've run aground: After the intro animation, I want the user to mouse-over the stage and have a second animation play (clearing away the introductory text), and I want the conclusion of the clearing animation to immediately call the map-populate function; but I don't want a mouse-over to have any effect until the introductory animation is finished. Is there an event dispatched automatically at the end of an animation? What is the event listener class?
I'm not sure if I should be storing each of these animations in an independent .fla file or if I should create them on all one timeline and have the program redirect to specific frames.
i have a mx:AdvancedDataGrid control with animation on resize. And i need to resize another contol A accordingly with mx:AdvancedDataGrid size. But resizing of contol A is too slow.
Threrefore, the addition of resize handler is bad solution. I want to get the time when the animation is completely stopped either the new size of mx:AdvancedDataGrid control.
I need to create an animation and provide some results of the move function at the END of the animation. However, i am not able to control the output till the move function is completed
I tried the isPlaying- that doesn't seem to detect that the animation is completed... so continues to output resukts before the animation is complete
sample code I tried
private function mvbut():void{
var mv:Move= new Move;
mv.xFrom=Math.random()*300;

i'm very new at flash and finally ended all the work i wanted to do here. now i just need to had the actions so it will run properly. basically i just need it to stop in each frame and run the animation of the movie clip on that frame. if it's i can put the project here so you can see what and were i need to had the actions.
View 1 Replieshow to detect if an animation in a movie clip stops?I make myself clear:I have a movie clip with different animations which I call from the stage with mc.gotoAndPlay("frame label"). Being these animation one after another in the timeline I call a stop() function to avoid the animation after to begin without being called.
Now, on the stage I want to play one of these animations and when this stops I want to make something happen.Is there an event that tells me "this movie clip is not 'animating' anymore"?

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.
View 6 RepliesI have an problem whereby I have created a Frame by Frame dancing human figure and now I want to move it across the screen as well as scale it using a Tween.
I have spent quite some time slightly adjusting the upper arms, forearms, hands, legs etc and creating a new keyframe for each movement. All the movements are all in one layer... ie the forearm doesn't have it's own layer etc. I am running the animation at 24fps so there is quite bit going on.
I now realise that I should have created a symbol/movie clip from the first image I created and then scaled and moved the image first before animating it's limbs but I only realized that after hours of work and I would hate to start all over again.
So basically what I have is a dancing human figure in the one spot moving it's arms and legs and I want it to move across the screen and become larger by scaling it using a Tween. I could of course re-edit each keyframe by slightly scaling and the slightly moving the figure but that will take quite some time to get right as there will be a fair bit of trial and error doing it that way.
I have a project that involves flash animation- almost movie like. I need some advice on how to do flash animation. I think I'll create the graphics in illustrator. Basically, the storyline is this:
- guy leaves house and walks to car
-starts engine, puts on shades and speeds off
-scenes of downtown chicago (nightlife)
-view license plate
What is the best way to do this? create graphics in illustrator for frame by frame? Should I use after effects? The client doesn't have a high budget so video is out of the question.
I created a frame by frame animation using the default elapsed time. There are 41 frames, and it is completed in 1.7 seconds. I would like the whole sequence to complete instead within 30 seconds. How can I change the timing? I am using Adobe Flash CS4 Professional (v. 10.0.2).
