ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Tweening Between Frames Not Working?
Mar 10, 2011
There's two frames and I created a button in frame1 that it will tween its tint from grey to red color(using tweenmax) whenever mouse over and out. It will go to frame2 when the button got clicked, and on entering frame2 the button will remain in red color. Also in frame2 I set the button will return to grey color and it will return to frame1 when the button got clicked. The button works fine for the first round as it change its color and switch the frames. However, it didn't remain in red color for the second round I clicked it (It still responsed to mouse over and out).
Is there a way to use tweening to animate a movie clips frames? Say to move it from frame 1 to 10, etc?
I have a movie clip that will have lots of different actions (moving left, right, up, down) and so on, and I don't want them all to play--I would like the MC to just play some set of them at a time. It seems like tweening would works best for this if it is possible. If not, what is a better suggestion?
I am looking to create a slideshow with different shaped images and I wanted to create a boarder around the image which will expand and contract around any image even if it is out of sequence. I can't find an example online at the minute eventhough I have seen the effect several times but this link has a similar effect when looking at the photos...[URL]..
The bottom of the page moves up and down to accomodate the shape of the images. The difference is I want the whole image to be surrounded and the boarder to change vertically and horizontally.
I hope this is clear. Are there any tutorials I should look at? Is there a specific name for this effect which I could do a google search for a tutorial because I can't seem to find anything.
So I have my function here which sets up the tween for movieClips that have images on them:
[Code]....
This code is done 20 times with different images added to two different movieClips (b0 and b1) that are waiting in the library. So, the glitch is - this function works damn near perfectly except after a while of navigating to other frames and coming back to the frame with this sometimes the b0 wont tween all the way onto the stage and sometimes not at all. And dont worry about the b0 not being described as a variable I have done this outside the button function as I was getting error messages. I have spent almost a week tooling around with this but nothing works I get the same glitches.
I'm getting the following error: Motion tweening will not occur on layers with ungrouped shapes or on layers with more than one group or symbol. I don't have any ungrouped shapes (it's all text), each layer has 5 instances of only one symbol (keyframes), no objects are grouped and text is all static text.
When watching the animation, the first word (web) looks fine, on the second word (design) the tween fails on the last couple of frames of that clip (the blur filter disappears), the third word (and) is OK, and on the forth word (development) the blur filter is not applied to the last 16 frames of that clip.I broke each animation into its own MC thinking that was causing the issue, but that didn't fix anything.
I'm using the code:[code]in order to direct button named "one" to open website.html in a frame named mainFrame. However, when I then use the same code on each button, opening different URLs it no longer works; whichever button you click on first will open in mainFrame, but any button you click after this will open in a new window.
Have a movie clip that I've set up in my fla, but I can't seem to get it off frame 1 with actionscript: the relevant code from character.as follows.. (i've tried a few other setups but nothing seems to get it to actually go to the "walking" stage. Scaling and other manipulations are working fine. Any insights into what I might try?
I'm creating an interactive that consists of 3 maps, each on its own tab. On each map, there are various circles representing data for a particular city.I want the circles to display a pop-up containing text when you roll over each one. Since I don't want the plain old buttons, I'm using 2-frame movie-clips, where the second frame represents the mouse-over state and a text box fades in as follows:
[Code]...
This all works fine, and I can get multiple buttons working on the first tab (frame 1) by grouping them all into a movie clip, as follows:
[Code]...
The problem is when I try to use the same or a similar with a different set of buttons on the second tab (frame 15). I put a similar set of actionscript on frame 15. The buttons seem to accept the buttonMode = true command, but I absolutely cannot get the rollovers to display. I've tried using different function names for the MOUSE_OVER and _OUT events, to no avail. I get no errors and nothing shows up in Output -- it just acts as if there's no rollover to display.Do I need to somehow put all the AS on Frame 1? Is it an issue related to ENTER_FRAME in the rollovers?
I am having a big of trouble with this code to change frames on my timeline. I thought my code below would work fine but its not. For some reason it will go to frames 1-4 (4 is the last frame) then it will go back to 1 again just fine as its supposed to... but then will jump to 3 then back to 1... all random instead of staying in sync. I have attached both my as2 version and my as3 version. My as 2 is working perfectly. I can define the amount of time a frame will pause for on each frame.
here is my as 3 code; stop(); var frameTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);frameTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,
is it possible for the same actionscript 2 script to be working if its inside the frames frame frame when you get down to the point where it says LEFT RIGHT UPP DOWN?
I tried to refresh my little flash knowledge -- but I stumbled upon a problem with the new Flash CS4!
When I try to make different blur or alpha effect on one keyframe I got after making the motion tween -- Flash adjust the other keyframe as well (got the same reaction on both keyframes as if it was the same instance of movie clip -- and not as in old flash; the keyframes created separated or independent instances)
The only thing working for me is when I move the movie clip out of the stage on the first keyframe -- and it correctly move its position.
I have this array of MovieClips (btnArr) and array of GlowFilters (gloArr):
var btnArr:Array = new Array(aBtn, bBtn, cBtn); var gloArr:Array = new Array(); var glow:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0x00aaff, 0, 12, 12,
[code].....
I have traces set up which seem to show that until I declare that Tween all is going as expected, but the last trace there shows -1, and when I check the values of each individual filter in the array they are all increasing and decreasing together.
I have made a small rectangle in the flash with the tweening effect and export in to the FLEX. When i publish in the FLEX i could see the rectangle with out tweening effects.How can i see the tweening effects.
Instead of using this special designed class for Tweening, how do I use the standard/regular Tweening within Flash so I don't have to always include the .as file with my project? One other thing is, he uses something like this: intSlideCount = xmlSlideshow..image.length();
What are the two dots between the xmlSlideShow and image.length(); means?
I'm trying to infinitely loop a bitmap all the way through the colour spectrum using AS3, Tweener and its ColorShortcuts class. This doesn't loop back to the function "tween1":
So i have several items on a page, each of which tweens out or in depending on a mouse event. So far i can do Easing on them when they are going out/in but how do i also set up a tween so that it blurs as the come in and out (motion blur) like the ones in the motion presets. I want to accomplish the same motion preset settings but with Actionscript.
I'm filling arrays from a XML. These arrays have dynamic textFields inside them, and these textFields are childs of a movieclip.
I tween this movieclip, therefore making the array of textFields animate on the stage one by one. There are two sources of XML, one from an actual site, and another from a XML stored in the hdd. First i fill the arrays of textFields, and then animate the movieclip. I do this for the first one, then animate it, do it again for the 2nd one, animate it, again for the 1st one, animate it, so on so on.
myTween = new Tween(mc,"x",None.easeNone,sizeOfStage,0 - mc.width,mcSpeedAuto,true);
my tween ends at 0 - mc.width, the problem is, if i tween first the "bigger" XML, when the next one which is smaller gets tweened, there's loads of empty space before it tweens the big one again (tweening whitespace?).
onFinish i clear all the arrays (otherwise the tweening of the 2nd one would still have information of the 1st one e.g: 1st has 25 fields, second has 10, 1st shows it's 25 fields, 2nd shows 10, and the 15 that were left from from the 1st one) and call the tween on the 2nd one. I thought that by doing this i'd be clearing all that white space too, apparently not. I think the mc.width just keeps the "bigger" value and always tweens with that, taking longer to end in the 2nd case. I've tried setting the mc.width as the sum of textfield width's everytime i fill the arrays, but this hasn't worked either
I'm working with a Flash (CS5) presentation, so I have a "Next Slide" button on my app. Sometimes, I want to be able to fade in certain elements when I hit "Next Slide".My current way of doing this:
Create a MovieClip from a Rectangle with an opacity tween from 100 to 0 (with ActionScript to stop() at first frame).Copy and paste the MovieClip over the place where I want it to fade in, and give the instances a unique name.Add actionscript to the relevant keyframe of the slide with just rectangle1.play().This works fine when running. The only disadvantage is that once I have one of these rectangle MovieClips on my page, I can't see what's behind it, making it annoying to design the presentation.
I have a sliding drawer navigation going on... Click a tab, (comprised of a button within the MovieClip,) one panel slides out (via Tweening) and there will be information (and more buttons) on the panel body. Click the tab again and it slides back into place.
Basically, this worked in AS2. Really well. In AS3, all I've managed to achieve is... no more crazy looping. The buttons don't work, though, and the tween animation doesn't happen without the button code. I'm fairly certain that my scripting is just bad and I'm wondering if anyone has ever done a navigation like this in AS3, before.
I've attached the Fla file... If someone could look it over, fix the code or just tell me what I need to do to make it work, that'd be great. A once-over of the layout and you'll know what I'm trying to do.
I'm new for AS3. I have some question about the classic tween vs AS3 Tweening.
I tried to compare the swf file size of both.
the first one i make an animation with the classic Tween.
the second one i make an animation with AS3 Tweening.
before, i thought the script tweening one will much smaller than the classic tween one, but after i compare both, the AS3 Tweening one has bigger file size.
So my question is, 1.will the file size bigger if i use action script to move the object?
2.then what's the advantage to tween the object using AS3 for a flash website?
3.how can I compress the filesize(i'm trying to build a full flash site)?
on the begining i was testing it on the free serwer over here url...and it was ok.but after couple changes i achieve very wierd jumpy ugly effect. url...if You will right click on the link and open in new tab...it will act very bed.and again it is ok with version 1 but not with version 2.
I am a flash user who used old version in the past and purchased new flash CS4 professional come with Adobe design premium recently. Now my problem is when I tween two symbol I cannot see any tweening between. I have created keyframe1 and insert my graphic, then converted to symbol. Then I click on F6 at timeline 50 and create motion at middle. But I only can see the effect at keyframe 1 and key frame 50. I cannot see any slowly tweening effects at all. Do I did something wrong?
I am working on a project for a client, and our designer has created a very large (7000px wide by about 600px high) image, which is split up into several 'screens'. The image is one long continuous image, so can't really be 'chopped up'. There are left/right arrows on either side of the scene which, when clicked, go to the next screen and play a short animation (basic movieclip fades/movement etc) for that screen.
My problem is that the panning left and right is starting to get a bit jerky - most likely Flash not being able to cope with tweening such a large image. Is there an easy alternative to using tweens in this case? I'm using TweenLite (AS3). I am happy to provide an SFW/FLA, but only in private to an experienced developer, hope thats ok.
Having trouble getting this to work. I have a UILoader encased in a Movieclip (there's a semi-transparent background behind the loader). I have this UILoader set via AS3 to load an external SWF.
All this is in the same folder. Basically, I wanted to compartmentalize a website I'm doing of my favorite hobby (Gaming).
It all works...until I add the Fade In/Out Tween. Then the only thing that Fades In is the movieclip; the page does not load and results in this "issue" (not error):
Code: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property name not found on fl.transitions.Tween and there is no default value. at mainSite_fla::MainTimeline/pageOpen() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
[Code]...
I pretty much can guess what the issue is. The page hasn't loaded and thus for some reason the tween prevents the UILoader from pulling in the SWF. But I have no clue what to change to get it to work. If I put the Load part (.load and it's var) inside the FadeIn function then the page loads successfully...only Tween gets "hung" at about 50% fade in. And since this is just the 'main page' that will end up loading all the other pages on top of it. I can't just embed the movieclip I want to tween into this FLA Project; something about a multi-meg website...
Here's the Code of the Tweened Open/Close:
Code: //Tween System var tweenFadeIn:Object; var tweenFadeOut:Object;
I think that Tweener is not using fractions of pixels on x,y movement, but that exactly what I need. I read about rounded parameter (default:false), that would round pixels, to reduce problems with text, but I want to slowly pan an loaded image, so I don't want to use a rounded value. My code:
Image smoothing works fine, but it slides choppy. It looks like moving 1 pixel at seldom frames, not some fraction of px per frame. I'm considering that flash image smoothing has to deal with fraction of pixels. I searched over stackoverflow, and all I could find was about image smoothing, and not about x,y movement smoothing.
I'm getting %@!#!#!@I have a mc and I want to use the Tweenclass in it.I want the mc to do random things. I tried everything i guess, just not the right thing my last code:
I am using the following code to tween my PortFolio_mc but now I want to add some more parameters ake the content in the center of the page when resizing. How can I modify the code? The following is the code I am using:Code: TweenMax.fromTo(PortFolio_mc, 5, {x:980, y:410, alpha:.5}, {x:100, y:410, alpha:1, delay:3, ease:Strong.easeOut});The following are the detail parameters which I would like to use in WIDTH & HEIGHT of above code:
I would like to know if I can get an error or some other problems when I try to tween several objects like this and using an onComplete-property:[code]:What I want to do is fade out several objects at once and when they finished a special function gets called. Are there other possibilities when using tweenlite available or do I have to use timelinelite?
how to make the objects in your flash move without tweening? example, I have 2 retangles and I want the 1st rectangle to move left and bounce at the edge of the scene. and the 2nd rectangle move to the same direction but not the same speed.
