ActionScript 3.0 :: Fading MovieClips In And Out Randomly
Mar 16, 2009
I'm trying to fade in and out some movie clips using the Tween class, but am having problems. I have the following code which fades in my movie clips:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
// Fade in and out
var myTween1:Tween = new Tween(wds_mt, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 100, false);
var myTween2:Tween = new Tween(wds_sf, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 150, false);
var myTween3:Tween = new Tween(wds_hush, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 120, false);
var myTween4:Tween = new Tween(wds_10, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 300, false);
var myTween5:Tween = new Tween(wds_uf, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 210, false);
However, I need to fade them out and then loop the fade in-out animation forever.
I've got two SWF files where one control what happens in the other using LocalConnect and would like to use opacity changes to make a nice transition between two movieclips in the receiving file. I want the two movieclips to fade nicely so I can't animate it because that would make a brake just as i hit the button.
This is the code in the SWF that sends the information.
Code: btn01.onRelease = function() { var sending_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection(); sending_lc.send("lc_name", "methodToExecute", {targetName:"mc01", action:"play01"}); };
I've just started on my first AS3 project and have already run into a problem. Can someone please tell me why the following code is not working correctly. What's NOT happening is that the mc that is passed to the scalethis function is NOT alpha'ing to 0 and I can't for the life of me understand why.
I have 36 instances of one movieclip (called panel1, panel2...panel36) that I want to fade and unfade depending on whether the mouse has rolled over that one instance, I tried this code, which works when there is only one instance, but not when multiple.
Code: _root.onEnterFrame = function () { for (i = 0; i < 36; i++) {
The following actionscript is some that I got from lostinbeta from an alpha fade question I had, that works fine but I now would like to have the movieclips get smaller at the same time as fading. So I put in some code that went like this
[AS] //set the transform mc._xscale = (i*10); mc._yscale = (i*10);
Below I have actionscript that plays movieclips in my library at random. How can I add to this to blend(fade) the movieclips into each other so that when the movieclip is done, it doesnt fade to white it simply fades/blends into the next movieclip/slide?
Code: var MCs = new Array("mc1", "mc2", "mc3", "mc4", "mc5"); var selectedMC = MCs[Math.floor(Math.random() * MCs.length)];
I'm trying to trigger some events (fading of nearby movieclips) based on cue points of a currently playing FLV. I'm using the FLVPlayback component (not Netstream) and have added cue points from inside flash (so they're "Actionscript" type). I actually found a nice article here: [URL] but it's AS2. To put it simply, let's say I have the following:
1) FLVPlayback component which has a parameter called "movie.flv" for the clip that it's supposed to play. 2) The instance of the component is called "movie_inst". 3) There are 2 cue points added through the component's parameters rollout, one called "point1", another called "point2".
What's the simplest code to tell flash "when you get to point1 I want you to do ___"?
I'm still new to flash and I'm working on image transition. I have 3 movie clips on the main stage, frame 1. The 3 clips are called 'mc1', 'mc2' and 'mc3'. I've managed to load images in to the 3 movie clips by calling a php script (Select.php) to pass the image paths back to my flash movie in an array. This is all the actionscript I have on frame 1:
Code: myVars = new LoadVars() // Load the vars from the external Php file myVars.load("Select.php") myVars.onLoad = function(success) { // Split the variables [Code] .....
This seems to work ok. Now I want to fade the images in rather than have them just pop up. I think I'll need to put in some kind of pause to wait until the images are loaded before I try any fading but I don't know how to do that. What I need to do to fade my images in once they have loaded rather than just have them pop up?
I had an idea I would like to incorporate into my site, and sure that Flash can accomodate, but what better place to check!? Say I have a mc_1, mc_2, mc_3, mc_4, and mc_5 all are basically the same information, just varied lead in animations. Is there a code that I can call to randomly choose among those when the site is loaded? Pretty vague I know, but right now I am adding them via "addChild," so would there be something I could use to accomplish this?
I have a slider on my stage that returns a number between 0 - 300 depending on where the user moves the slide.What I would like to do is add and remove movieclips as the user slides the slider so that the number of movieclips on the stage is proportional to the slider's value.An example: If the slider value is 300, I want 300 circles on the stage. As the slider moves down to zero, the number of circles on the stage decrease.I've been trying to think of the best way to do this. Should I use addChild and removeChild? Or just change the visibility?And what would be the best way to refer to each movieclip? Should I use an array? Or maybe an if/else statement?
I'm working with a randomly moving MC, and now it looks good except the collisions with the level. When it hits the level it gonna rotate and go another way. I don't want it go through the walls.
I posted this in the Flash 8 forum, but wonder if I'll have better luck in here. I need to get movie clips to play randomly. Currently, I have actionscript on Frame 1, and a movie clips on the stage in Frame 2. Also in each movie clip as the last frame I have "PlayMC();".[code]
I am generating movieClips outside of the stage I want to send them randomly into the stage in enter frame. Currently it looks like this, so they go like in all directions... How could I direct each of them randomly into the stage?
Code: function timerEvent(e:TimerEvent):void { var newObj:MyObj=new MyObj(); //this places them randomly outside of the stage
I can place the movieclips randomly on the stage but I am trying to randomly populate shapes with movieclips. Code: ball_mc.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth; I tried just replacing stage.stageWidth with box_mc.width but that didnt work. Also, I wanted to create more complicated shapes for their bounding area then just a movieclip's rectangle.
I have an mp3 playing. What I would like is to have a movieclip that is located in the library appear, complete it's animation then get removed. The movie clip must complete this proccess 4 times, randomly during the length of the song but never at the same time and not in the last 5 seconds of the song. BTW I can't do this manually by just firing it off a random amount of times because this code will be used with lots of different mp3's, so I need to use the dynamic data I get by retrieving the song length. I have the code working to retrieve the length of the song, and I have a variable that stores the length minus 5 seconds from the end, so I basically have the length of time I wish to work with.
My problem is making the movie clips appear 4 times randomly throughout that length of time. The code is below (what I have so far), the movieclip is stored in the library as circle_mc. The timer I'm using at the beginning of the code (to retrieve the length of the song) is set to run after 2 seconds this is because there is a delay in the music starting and if it did it instantly the number retrieved obviously would be 0, so I delay it by 2 secs till I know the song is playing. At the moment I'm just trying to get it to fire twice, at the moment it fires once or not at all.
I want to randomly load 3 animations in a topbanner on my website. The 3 animations are placed inside their own movieclip and loaded to the stage by using "attachMovie". This works fine. But when a movieclip is loaded to the stage and the animation inside of it is finished playing how do i attach or load another movieclip randomly to the stage?
I want the final result to be a stage with a certain number of circle MC's moving around. I have made the circle MC, and added the AS so that it will start at a random point with a random color, then start moving around randomly. I want to make it so that In the beginning the document will duplicate the movie clip x amount of times, using a for loop. I want to then have all the new circles move around, and when two circles hit each other, they will dissappear, using the removeclip function. You can only use this on duplicated movieclips though, so how would i make all the circles duplicated? Is there a way to duplicate the original movieclip x amount of times then delete it? Or is there a way to remove the original after it is in a collision? Also I don't know how to do the collision detection. I am thinking of using a hittest, but would I just do it with a for loop? Is there a way so that if an MC hits any other MC?
I am new to flash programming. I have to create a flash card game for a client.There are 52 cards with back showing in 52 rectangles. Each time the swf loads the position of the cards has to be different (randomly placed) in those 52 rectangles. Click on the card and the face of the card shows. Also an option for shuffle. When the user clicks on shuffle, the cards are randomly placed.
screen size: 550 x 400 i want to spawn movie clips randomly from the upper part of the screen and to make them go to the bottom. My game name is coin collector, so i want to spawn coins falling down and make my stickman catch'em.
ActionScript Code: Add the AS2 in a box like this one
i have an animation and some movie clips. i want to add my scene an action that brings movieclips from my library randomly on my stage in every 20 seconds. how can i do that? the movieclips should be on the stage so we can see them but they should be invisible until they called from the action.
I'm trying to play 2 external flash movies. its already running ok but i need the scene to be somewhat to gradually become transparent so that the timebased scene2 will comeout to of the screen.
Here is the script of it:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("scene2.swf"); myLoader.load(url); addChild(myLoader);
I can't work out why - but when I try to fade out some text (by calling fadeoutSecondText), the text fades out, and then immediately fades back in. Fading in and out struggle against each other, resulting in rapidly flashing text!
when i test the movie all i see is a large grey box (border color) with a medium white box (box color) in the bottom right.when i edit the border and lose the grey box but leave its line borders then i get the image with the white box in the bottom right. i've got an image: instance named 'image', a box: instance named 'box' and a border: instance named 'border' and pasted in the actionscript in
i've done the Fading Grid tutorial that Voetsjoeba wrote but i seem to be de-railing somewhere when i test the movie all i see is a large grey box (border color) with a medium white box (box color) in the bottom right.when i edit the border and lose the grey box but leave its line borders then i get the image with the white box in the bottom right. i've got an image: instance named 'image', a box: instance named 'box' and a border: instance named 'border' and pasted in the actionscript in place but it still hangs.
so I have this scene in Flash where a song plays. However, once everything is done on the scene, the screen fades and it goes to the next one. I put a layer in the next one that stops the music, but it just suddenly stops without fade. Also it doesn't matter if I select FadeOut because it will still suddenly stop. If I put Event instead of Stop, the song just keeps playing.
Anyway, I want to do something really basic and simple. I want to have a word fade in then fade out. Then another word in another place fade in and fade out.
