ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Trying To Trace Mc Identifier Names On Timeline Keyframes.
Oct 26, 2010
I'm trying to trace Mc Identifier names on timeline keyframes. But it does not work for keyed frames...
-I have an ordinary keyframe animation on the root timeline. -each keyframe is a movieclip (exported for actionscript and a class created in the library/properies)
-I try to trace every frame, but for some reason my script ignores the ones with a keyframe in them and reads the emty(grey) timline areas.
since the whole deal for me is to create a very simple timeline exporter
how to get the names for frames with a key in it?
(I pasted this clip on first frame in timeline)
Code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME ,getStageChildren);

I have an xml and it has items, you can trace the items in Flash, but how do I call them to allow me to identify that object getting clicked on the stage?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<menus>

I want to detect when the playhead hits a keyframe without having to put a function call on the keyframe. If it hits multiple keyframes at the same time (ie keyframes on different layers) I'd want to know that too. I'd happily parse some timeline data and find the keyframes myself, but I haven't been able to find out where this info can be found. Is there a Timeline Class I don't know of? I looked into xfl uncompressed format, and I could read the xml format to find the keyframes and where they're at, but thats a pre or post process, and obviously won't work with our runtime code. I want to know this inside runtime code from within flash player.

I am working on an animation project. I'm not a programmer. I'm working in Flash CS3. I've an animation that I've produced that I need to output the placement of my audio track for use by the post-sound guy. After my recording session, my sound guy gave me one large file that had all my audio on it. I've had to scrub to the correct position on the audio track for each clip I wanted.
Now that my animation is completed, I've got my audio all in place, but I need a record of where it's at in the Flash Timeline so that I can give that to my post-sound guy so that he can rebuild it in his sound editing software.
What I'm wondering is if there is a way to run a trace or generate something of a text file that will do the following[code]...

For the life of me I can't figure out how to trace out the current label in my movie's main timeline. This is in AS3. I have a button on stage that spans the timeline of the movie. It detects keypresses. I want to trace the current frame label that the play head is on.
[Code].....
I get "_level0" for this...and undefined for the rest. What am I doing wrong here?

I've got something simple in my main time line. I know I must be missing some kind of loop function, as the hold down doesn't work unless I keep clicking. And my trace doesn't work unless it starts on the 'enemy'. I'm just not sure what
Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
_left.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, moveLeft);
function moveLeft(e:MouseEvent){
_hero.x--;

Im using a for in loop to grab the names of my mc on the _root timeline and push() them into an array named bricks. i then use a prototype function fade them in one at a time. The problem is that it only works to a piont and then stops.
I thought posible causes could be the time it takes to build the array as i do have 713 mc on my timeline.
this is my code i tried attaching the fla but its to big
fadespeed = 9;
function init(){
brick = new Array();

I have a button on the main timeline that works fine, part of the code in the button:
for (b=1; b< dpth; b++) {
var lineMovedx = _root["Line"+b]._x;
_root["Line"+b]._x = lineMovedx-9000
trace(_root["Line"+b]);
It basically moves stuff a person draws off the screen when the button is pushed, there is another button that brings it back. But when I put that same button in a movieclip on the main timeline and change the code to this:
for (b=1; b< dpth; b++) {
var lineMovedx = _root._root["Line"+b]._x;
_root._root["Line"+b]._x = lineMovedx-9000
trace(_root._root["Line"+b]);
It no longer works and the trace shows no output, it basically loses it completely, I can't figure out why it does not work, it seems so simple.

I'm working on a site that I received from a co-worker and it�s done with AS2 and the code and instance names are all over the place and it�s really hard for me to follow the code path to change things. I know how to track down what frames and elements have actions through the actions panel but what kind of stumping me is how to find instances with instance names on the stage that are scattered all over the instances that make up the movie. Is there a way to get a log of what instances have instance names attached to them and where they are located in the timeline?

I have the following code on the main timeline. I have soundLoad_mc assigned to the SoundChgUrl class.soundLoad_mc.mp3URL = "climbing.mp3";soundLoad_mc.swfName = "journey.swf";The code below is from SoundChgUrl. The import to mp3URL works. The one to swfName does not - it throws "1119: Access of possibly undefined property swfName through a reference with static type classes:SoundChgUrl." This doesn't make sense to me.

sometimes Flash Authoring colors my actionscript inappropriately. for example: i have custom variable that i've named "closeButton". closeButton does not reference any of the official classes yet it always colored blue as an identifier. i'm assuming it's referencing some internal, private variable from some class in the frameworks. is it possible to remove the color for specific identifiers?

I know there has to be away to adjust objects on the stage from all keyframes because it's probably the most annoying thing I've experienced
I adjust a bitmap image and then when you play the movieclip, right when it hits another keyframe it shows the old position instead of the new. How can I update all images on the stage including all the keyframes?

Here's what i'm trying to do: I have a slideshow of pictures with a simple fading transition. I do not have the source file and i'd like to extract all of the single pictures from the slideshow. I've imported the video into flash so that all of the images from the video are keyframes.
So now, I have a movie with about 10,000 keyframes. I have a known interval of keyframes that I do not want (when the picture is on a frame by itself and it's not transitioning with another picture).
Can I:
Delete an interval of keyframes Create a new movieclip/document/scene... with the keyframes that I want

i have a movieclip named bgMC that has 5 keyframes with a different image for every keyframes.i'd like to know if it is possible via actionscript, caurina or else to have a transition between keyframes like:
1) i use bg.gotoAndStop(1)
2) fade in the image i have in keyframe(2), if i use i use bg.gotoAndStop(2) the image is replaced istantly

I'm trying to create a flash animation of a wing flapping using three keyframes. The first keyframe is at frame 1. I then created a second keyframe at frame 5 by pressing F6, and then I created another keyframe at frame 10 by pressing F6. At frame 5, I rotated the wing so that it is going up. Frame 10 is the same as frame 1.frame 1: frame 5: frame 10: I right clicked on a frame between frames 5 and 10 and then clicked the first optio , "Create Motion Tween"; I then performed the same action on a frame between frames 1 and 5. When I preview or test the movie, there is no transition between the frames. From frame 1 to 5, there is supposed to be a transition of the wing flapping up. From frame 5 to 10, there is supposed to be a transition of the wing flapping downwards to its initial position. Instead, when I test the movie, the wing remains still until frame 5 and instantly goes to its "wing up state" and when it gets to frame 10, instantly goes to its "wing down state". Here is what the timeline looks like after I've made the changes mentioned above:
I'm using Flash CS4 to make the animation but the tutorial I'm following is using Flash CS3. I know I can use other methods to create the motion tween but I want to know why the method I'm using isn't working.

I am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:
[Code]....
I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.

I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,

We've got an Illustrator file with something over 1,000 layers. We're trying to import this into Flash and keep the layer names intact, such that they become the names of the movie clips that are imported for each layer and can be used programmatically. (It is a diagram and arrows, boxes, etc all have callout names that will eventually allow them to link to a database.)As near as I can tell, the Import dialog will NOT pass this info across between the two parts of the dialog.

take a look at the results of these traces:
trace(imgGal); //traces "1"
trace(itemClip1._y); //traces "32"
trace(itemClip[imgGal]._y); //traces "undefined"
why does the last trace not trace "32" like the second trace? I want to insert the variable "imgGal" onto the end of the mc "itemClip", how can I do this?

I started a thread about a reference to a symbol House, in the output window, which was: House_1. A lot of people said some useful things about that. All day I've been thinking about it, and I came to the conclusion that I don't understand things, at a very basic level.
Consider:I make a movieclip which I give the Symbol name Drawer. (I don't export it for AcitonScript.)On the stage I manually place two instances of this Symbol. The first one I give the Instance Name drawer (in the properties panel). The second one I leave nameless.Now if I trace the names of both these clips, by
trace(this.getChildAt(0).name);
trace(this.getChildAt(1).name);
the output window gives me
drawer
instance2
Now I know that the so-called "instance name" which I gave in the Properties Panel (drawer) is, in reality, a variable name which Flash gives my first instance behind the scenes. And instance2 is a name that Flash gives my second instance. What exactly the nature of that name is, I do not know.My point is: both names (drawer and instance2) are the .name property of these movieclips. Otherwise I could not have traced them through asking for the .name property, in the above. Yet only the first of these two can be manipulated:
drawer.x can be set;
instance2.x can (as we know) not be set.
But...why? What is the real difference between these two kinds of names? How can they both be the .name property of their underlying movieclip, yet be of such a different nature? What IS the nature of the instance2 name? If it's a String, how come the .name property of one movieclip can be a variable name, while the .name property of another (but identical) movieclip is a String?
I've searched every bit of web page on the net I could find. But it looks as if nobody addresses this issue. We all just work with it - but it makes no bloody sense. A name property = a name property, you'd think. Whether Flash set it or I set it should not make a difference. The x property of a clip, for example, does not change in nature according to who set it - me or Flash.So, again, just to emphasize the problem: how can a property (the name property) of a movieclip change in NATURE depending on who set it? After it's been set, shouldn't the name property of a clip be of exactly the same nature as the name property of another clip?

I have researched the subject for some time now and still haven't figure it out.I use midas3 library (Midi-actionscript3) to import midi to flash. I get each note-item on a timeline. I get the divisions value (192) and all of the "GET-TEMPO" elements are equal to 81.I tried a lot of combinations to get the actual time of the midi but still no good (timeline*192/60 for example).The reason I know it is not synchronized to the actual time is that when I visualize the notes as simple rectangles in flash - I check if they appear exactly to what the mp3 file plays (I have converted the midi file to this mp3 using simple conversion program)I have read a lot about how all is calculated but still haven't figure out the number I need to use to get it right (timeline * MysteriusConstant = ReaTIME, what is the value of MysteriusConstant? is it really constant? and if not how do I calculate how it is changed?)
