ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Animation Generated By Path Class
Apr 17, 2011
There is a pretty good class created by senocular, is called "Path"; basically it allow you to create paths and also create animations using those (like when you use the old good guides on flash).
To create an animation you just ask for a position using a number between 0 and 1. So just using some setInterval is easy to create the animation using a dinamically created path as a guide. The Problem is: How it creates the animation in curves; because is not doing it like flash does it; it basically does something like this

I was wondering if it possible to write up some AS that will take line paths that you have drawn and convert them into a Path object? For example say you drew a jagged line from left to write, would there be a way to have AS convert that into a Path object.

get a bunch of objects in my library to inherit from (or even be) one class that i have made, but without having to make .as files for every single one is this possible, or is there any other way to give objects another classes functionality in an auto-generated class?

I am coming from flash to flashbuilder I have a directory, AS3_classes_dir, on my computer that stores all of my classes, including my greensock and papervision packages. In every flash app that I make I include that directory in the Source Path, so that I can import whatever I may need. Compiling in flash (using ctrl/enter) takes very little time; only the classes that are specifically imported are compiled.So today I did that in flashbuilder, included AS3_classes_dir via Flex Build Path/Source Path ... but now the compile time are a couple of minutes, even though I am not even importing ANY of the classes from within.

It seems I have no trouble pointing an FLA's document class to my project's class package when the FLA is at the same root level as the package's top-level directory. However, if the FLA is nested in a sub-directory, then relative paths to a class nested in the package will not work.example package & class location : [url]....
Case1 :
Package location : MyProject
FLA location : MyProject[code]........
If someone can provide an explanation as to why nested FLAs can't point to custom packages in parent-level directories, OR demonstrate how this can be done,

how to make a counter clockwise circle using Senocular's Path class?
For example, if I start a half-circle on the left (9 o'clock) it will go to 6 o'clock then 3 o'clock. Right now it goes for 9 o'clock to 12 then 3.
Works great clockwise... but I can't get it to draw in the other direction. I tried messing with the math inside the class and it exploded!

i am wondering if it is possible to draw a path with the Graphics class, and then let an object follow that path as it's animation. example to make it more understandable: i have a movieclip on the screen, and as soon as a user cliks it and moves the mouse a path will be drawn. as soon as the user lifts its mouse the ball will follow te path at a certain speed that the user just made. i searched through the API and this board, but couldn't find any as3 solution.

I have been able to draw rudimentary shapes on the main timeline by importing this class on the main timeline (first frame) and plugging in the requisite parameters.[code]When I have created movieclips without actionscript, then attached AS 2 classes to them I can manipulate them. If there is not a way that I can manipulate AS-generated clips on the main timeline, is this doable from within the class?

Ive been using Flash since version 4, mainly just to draw and create Frame by Frame Animations. Only recently have found a need for dynamic applications.Ive been following the tutorial for the simple photo gallery/portfolio here.URL...Ive noticed that the way the buttons/thumbnails created in this example doesnt give me control over the way the buttons themselves behave on the individual level. Such as things like different colors/sounds/ on events, or whatever. Can anyone help me to understand how to make a button class or something that may already have these properties set, and then dynamically assign it to the thumbnails?

I am simply trying to move symbols around on my Stage, and each time I move one, the "path" is recorded and the object flows on that path when I scrub or play back.
All I would simply like to do is reposition images and symbols with out the movement and animation.

We need to make kind of a path animation out of a string (curved lines) drawing. The designer provided me with this: [URL]. We need a revealing (growing) type of animation that generates from the right, follows every corner and ends up in the left with that giant piece of "mop". Is there a way to do this professionally? Tried the old frame by frame masking, but it looks odd. Shouldn't be some AS3 libraries that just work with paths or that draw paths?

the same class is passed to the mxmlc compiler in SWF library as a symbol linkage class and again in a source-path. But the compiler uses the definition from the source-path so creating new instance of that class won't create new instance of the library symbol. How do I tell the compiler to prefer the definition linked to the symbol (the one dfrom SWC)?
I have my design assets in an FLA file and they are linked to classes (e.g. [URL]. Then I export those assets to a SWC library and pass it to the compiler. Now when I create an instance of the class (new MyAsset();) it will be a new instance of the library object.
But there are other classes too in the source folder (e.g. "com.myproject.model.*" so I need to pass the source folder to the compiler too. And that is the problem, now the compiler will use the MyAsset.as definition from the source path, not from the SWC where it is assigned to the library object so if I create new instance of MyAsset now it won't duplicate the library object.

I'm using this code for tweening:
ActionScript Code:
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(star, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 0.9, 3, true);
And I also have some extra code that spawns stars all over the place.If you view my swf, http:[url]...., you can notice that the stars appear to 'flash' first before settling down.I'm simply wondering if this is some problem of the Tween class or if I set something wrong. Something I found odd was when I removed my code that generated a random colour for my star,
ActionScript Code:
//var myColor:ColorTransform = this.transform.colorTransform;
//myColor.color = Math.random()*0xFFFFFF;
//star.transform.colorTransform = myColor;
, the flash doesn't happen. Is it a visual effect that causes it to look like it's flashing or is it really?

I am looking to create the appearance of a shape being drawn. I need a few shapes, but for the example think of a simple U. I have tried several different approaches. First, I tried a shape tween at 45 degree increments. That was a wrong approach. Then I tried using After Effects, but the movies lacked flexibility and were laggy. Currently I am building the shapes using two shape tween MCs(an arc that goes 11.25 degrees and a line that goes 21px), and repeating it.
This seems to be working, but is very tedious, and lacks flexibility. i.e. if I decided I want the shape just a bit shorter I have to remove the MC incident from every frame. Also I have no possiblity of changing the speed without completely rebuilding the shape becasue I'm doing a frame by frame animation.

So I've created a script where a mc is clicked on and the player can draw a path using the mouse. I'm trying to figure out how I can get the mc to follow the path drawn out by the player's mouse and when the player clicks again, it erases all of the path.my code is below

I have been doing some heavy flash animations recently and my current project is making me frustrated. Here is the situation and what I am trying to accomplish:
- 15 second looping animation of a game character that loops continuously. Just breathes in and out while bending down a lil. (I created already)
- Game character has two parts of clothing that need to change color. (I created already)
- Each piece of clothing (2 parts shirt and pants) may have 5 colors each. (I created already)
- Users can change the color by using one of the two picker that has all 5 colors. (I created already)
Problems. - I tried to use the colorMatrix class but it does not adjust the colors the way I need them since the character has highlights and shadows.It tints to much of the overall Color. So I built the character animation 5 times with each with a color from the 5 original colors. All animations are 15 sec. Total of 10 animations, 5 for the shirt and 5 for the pants.
Ex. Top Shirt = Blue
Bottom Pants = Red
User clicks on the color picker for the shirt and wants to change the color to green(green being one of the 5 colors). So with some code I changed out the blue shirt animation with the green animation. But I don't know how to start the green animation where the blue one left of?
Better Example: Blue shirt active and currently on frame 10. While on the blue shirt is on frame 10, user selects the color green from the color picker at the same time. How do i get the green t-shirt to start at frame 11 continuing from where the blue color left off?

I am having a hard time understanding the class path for custom classes. For example I created a folder called myapp and in this folder I have Main.as. In my flash file for the Document Class I put Main. But it can't find the Main.asSo in the flash preferences, Action Script, ActionScript 3 settings, I added a path "myapp". Is this the correct way to do this? It works but I don't know if it is correct.

I need to load an external SWF into a movieclip, and get the name of the SWF from a variable from a class. The variable is called getSWF and is defined as the following in the class
public var getSWF = "movie.swf";
When I trace(getSWF); on the first frame of the main time line it outputs fine. However when I use the following code on the movieclip:
var imageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest (getSWF);
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(imageRequest);
addChild(imageLoader);
I get the error:
1120: Access of undefined property getSWF.

So, I'm using this Path Class to make a path and then draw it. I'm having a problem where there are some positions that I draw the path, the entire line does not draw.You can see an example of this here as the dot moves. The line flashes at a few coordinates. Just a small concept example I made. The path is there, it's just not being drawn.
The code :
Code:
import com.senocular.drawing.Path;
// create a path instance that draws in _root
var myPath:Path = new Path();

I am creating a class to handle some audio in an app I am building. This class will need to accept the XML element path as a passed parameter and or a getter.
examples of some XML elements I would like to pass to the the audio handler class to access them.
Dialog.introScreen.text
or
Dialog.secondScreen.main.text
ect.
I pretty sure this is not a string data type and thus cannot be passed as a string (I could be wrong though), if not, what data type would I pass it as?

I've previously worked for commercial companies and when developing a Flash Actionscript 3 class path, we would use the industry standard such as: com.companyname.* for where we stored out classes, and set up the directory structure with the com folder being the top level. Now, I'm working for a company who's URL ends with .org should I make the top level folder org or leave it as com? What about people who make classes for educational systems, do they use edu or com?
