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?
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 RepliesSo 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.
I have a Dynamic Text field inside a MovieClip and I'm trying to make it "Fade" (Go to Alpha 0%) with a Motion Tween over time.I've noticed everythin within the MovieClip BUT the Dyanmic Text field fades...

A rather large project (rich web application) has fallen into my lap and I am unfamiliar with how to accomplish a major functionality. in the right direction.I need users to be able to customize a 3D avatar and store it on the server somehow. The user can choose a body type, hair style, hair color, clothing, accessories, etc. The user can then choose from a number of different environments to place their avatar into, a specific animation (dance moves, playing an instrument, etc.), and an audio file. The audio file would then play while the avatar performed the animations within the selected environment.
How should we go about doing this? What technology should we use? Ideally, my colleagues and I would use MoCap software (w/ Microsoft Kinect) to complete 3D base models and animations for the avatars. Is it possible to then dynamically skin / texturize the models with the user's stored avatar? If so, how would I accomplish this? Does anyone have any other suggestions on how we would go about solving this problem?
I need to create flash interactive animation for one one of my regular clients, which should look and work similar to example bellow: Link This is how my clients product (shirt) should look like and what sections should be editable: [URL] Basically it should work this way:
1. End user chooses some element of shirt which he would like to edit (for example collar)
2. When he clicks on that element, popup windows shows offering two main options: to change color and graphic (texture or pattern), same as on nike store customize example
3. After user changes one section (collar) he goes to other section (lets say sleeve) and so on
4. User should be able to zoom in or zoom out that shirt and also if it is possible to rotate it in 4-5 positions
5. At the end it should be able to save that work (and load it if he wants to later ) and be able to print it.
I have made many animations, games, banners and similar using Macromedia Flash MX and Adobe Flash so I am not a flash newbie but this is a first time I am dealing with this type of work.I know that there is no step by step tutorial for this kind of custom interactive animation. how to create these three first steps (1. 2. 3). Regarding steps (4.) and (5.) I think I could realize it (zoom in, zoom out, rotate movieclip, save in database and print screen), because I had some previous experience regarding this part.
All I want to do is add text from my string to dynamic text field when I click dynamic buttons. What should the as code be for this? Here is my code. Right now I just have the click returning another shape.

I'm using the dynamic text scroller from [URL] found at [URL] Here's a link to my zipped files too... [URL]
1) I can't figure out how to have URL links in the text that loads.
2) How can I make the scroller refresh to allow for new text in the dynamic text area. The content changes alright, but the scroller stays in the same position and if it wasn't needed initially, the scroller disappears and doesn't return on new text.
My text animation works perfectly, but doesn't repeat. How do I get this to repeat? I don't know Flash that well, but I just want this to play over and over.

is possible to align text in dynamic text control vertically to the middle? In flash CS3.
View 1 RepliesI am working in Flash CS5 and I have placed a text field (dynamic, classic text) on the stage. I am accessing it through Actionscript on the same frame like this:
var ct:TextField = TextField(getChildByName("Temperature"));
ct.text = "Hello world";
What ACTUALLY appears is this: So... The H, Ls, and D are gone. Mysteriously. Without warning. I am sitting here utterly confused. Is this just me?
PS. The text field is set to Myriad Pro Bold, a font on my computer, so it isn't like it's a font problem.
i can't get flash to show, and in a dynamic text box which loads text via a variable from a .txt file on a server.

I am working on some text animations using ActionScript (3.0).The type of animations that I want require tweening each character of the text. Therefore, the way I want to do this is to break apart the text string, create a text field for each character, put it into a sprite, position the sprite so that the characters form a linear text and then tween the individual character sprites.But the problem is if I have an HTML string of text. If I try to break apart the string, then the HTML tags will break and they will be animated as if part of the text? Is there another way of achieving this type of character by character animation? Is there a way in which the HTML formatted text can be kept ?
View 2 RepliesCurrently I'm using javascript which works fine to pass text from textfield A to textfield B:
Code:
window.onload=function()
{
document.forms.form1.shirtText.value=document.forms.form1.KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38.value
}
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.
I am trying to create a flash animation in which a text title fades in to the screen. I created the text, converted it to a symbol, then tried to create a motion tween in which I could tweak the alpha values of the text object. However when I try to create the keyframe, the popup that comes up has the Color option greyed out (which is where I believe the alpha setting lives).
View 1 RepliesI have flash animation (swf) in my HTML Page.
Now, I like to have my flash animated character (700kb) to speak dialogues, the related text should pop and go in the html side of the page.
I've already used this amazing cool script from Text highlight with audio sync in Jquery by Marnix van Valen & HTML5 works cool as he says. BUT, what about flash?
I'm making a very simple adventure game with a dialogue box. The dialogue box is a dynamic text box. I need it to display the next message everytime the "next" button is pushed. Right now, this is how it looks.

I have a simple text animation(revolving text) it works fine althought i would like ti to pause for 5 seconds at completion in the second to last keyframe i added the following:
stop();
pauseAnim,=setInterval(this,"nextframe",5000);
i added a final keyframe and added this to it:
clearInterval(pauseAnim);
play();
it does not re-start as expected instead it stops and thats it,,,,, i need it to restart after 5 seconds?
ok i have a movie clip with a dynamic text field being animated... i have a text file with this in it
&textline1=time
&textline2=place
&textline3=year
&textline4=month
now how do i make the movie clip to first go from frame 1 to 10( last frame in teh movieclip) with the text time and then when the movie clip starts again it should say place and so on and so forth.. depending on how many textline variables i define in the text file?
I created a motion preset of a 3D text animation that made the text swing back and forth like a gate with the hinge on the far left side. However, when I apply the motion preset to other text, the text moves to a new location and the text swings closer to the center than the far left side. Moving the text only creates a travel path that further complicates matters.
what am I doing wrong with the motion preset? How can I save something into a preset and apply it to other things and have the animation work the way it was designed?
Is it possible to login through flash using one Dynamic Text Field and one Input Text Field and no buttons? If so how?
