I have a programmatic tween (fl.transitions.Tween) on a MovieClip and want to apply a ColorTransform on it when it ends. Basically, the Tween scales an item down to its original size, and I want to know when the scaleX is back to 1, and then trigger the application of a ColorTransform. Is there a way to do that or must I use a timer in conjunction with the Tween?
View 5 RepliesIn this example, I'm trying to programmatically fade-in the alpha of menu items created from xml data. Using the tween object, I'm trying to start the next tween once the first or previous tween has finished. Clearly in my attempt below, the statement isn't cutting it because it's not waiting for the tween to be finished. Using the oListener.onMotionFinished method, I tried using a Boolean to return true when finished, and then to start the next tween. But clearly I haven�t figured out the proper control flow for this.

i have a main MC( with 4 buttons on it) on the stage and when i click on a button it animates 2 blocks that have been created at runtime and goes from right to left. What i want is when i click on another menu button, the boolean changes and i must be able the rewind the animation and do another but it does not work.I must click twice, once it rewind and the 2nd one it shows the animation..
View 3 Repliesso i'm now working on a mp3 player, and i got stucked with something. so here's my problem: i've a got bar (songBar) on which it will appear the artist and the song name(artist_txt). what i want is when de title_txt width is larger than the songBar.width, the text to scroll from right to left, and when the tween is finished to scroll from left to right(all this tween has to be a loop). if the width of artist_txt is smaller or equal to the songBar.width then artist_txt is aligned in the center of the songBar. all i'm trying to code it's just what you see in winamp player.

Project:
Reading text from XML document
Text scrolls up, pauses, then automatically scrolls up and off the screen
Text content changes to the next node.
Scene Level:
I have a movie clip named "symbol headline" (see attached screenshot)
Within the MovieClip:
I have 2 dynamic text boxes: headlineText and contentText (see attached screenshot)
ActionScript Code:
// Import flash libraries
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
[Code]....
The Problem:
Everything works GREAT except there is a slight difference between the TIMER in the ActionScript and the frames in the GUI. That means that after 3 or 4 iterations, the text starts changing before the motion tween is done.
My Idea:
Instead of using a timer in my ActionScript, can I create and Event Listener that listens for when the movie clip starts to replay? If so, HOW ?

I have a button that was added to stage using addChild when the page load, the button is suppose to be removed using removeChild and redirect into its specific page using event.target.name...somehow i got this error: Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I have try replace this line, var newswf:URLRequest= new URLRequest("./swfs/"+ event.target.name +".swf"); with this, var newswf:URLRequest= new URLRequest("./swfs/about.swf"); and everything works fine, but i dont want that since I want it to load dynamically and uses less code..
my code as below:
var about:About = new About();
about.x = 300;
about.y = 200;

I'm programming a Flash-based site designed by the client. The trouble is the SWF dimensions are small within the HTML page, and the thumbs show the larger images on roll over. The large images are meant to disappear on mouseout, but it's easy to move the cursor too quickly for the mouseout to be recognized -- so the image gets stuck on screen.Is there a reliable way to recognize a mouseout event, even when the cursor leaves the button/stage?
View 4 RepliesI simply have one FLVPlayback component in the background and a movieclip on the layer above with an FLVPlayback component inside it. The first FLV component is constantly looping a five-second video. So all I need is for the movieclip containing the second FLV component to load the right file, fade in, and when the video ends, fade out. Absolutely all of that works... apart from the fading in. What I noticed was that my movieclip was fading in correctly, but the FLVPlayback component was empty and transparent until the fade had finished - then it played the clip. Here's my code, which gets called at random intervals:

I am a first time flash-maker, and I sure how to get things to work as planned.I have written the following code:
stop();import flash.events.MouseEvent;Weightlifting_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, CursorClick);function CursorClick(event:MouseEvent):void{gotoAndStop("25");}
But my problem is that i have a motion tween that startes at frame 5 and ends at frame 25. And the code says that at will go to and stop at frame 25.what I really want it to do, is to go to frame 5, play the motion, and stop at frame 25.
What I want to happen is, user clicks button, button slides across screen, when the slide is finished frame 2 is displayed. I am getting an Output of:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

and my code looks like:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

My stage has about 25 buttons on it. Each button when pressed to tweens the background to some random x/y coordinates and then loads an external swf file.This is all working, but the timing is off. How can I wait for the initial background tween to end before I make the loader call to the .swf file.Currently each button's behavior is called on the MouseEvent.CLICK event which calls a function that knows its unique filename.swf. I know you can add the MOTION_FINISH even to the tween event but then I would have to call a new function and lose track of the button that initially called it.
View 3 RepliesI just started playing around with as3 and I have a function for mouse clicks that draws a shape on each click. However the mouse click event does not appear to work unless I click a movieClip object I placed in the middle of the screen. Is there a way to make the mouse click event recognize when I click anywhere on the screen?

View 5 RepliesI made a flash website with an introduction slide show. When the slide show is over it closes altogether in the index web page. The slide show works fine but it closes abruptly. I would like to find out if there is a way to fadeout the slide show at the same rate the images fade out, or if there is a way to make a slideshow with a transparent background. The SWF slide show loads externally into the index page.[URL]..

I want to make a somewhat virtual Windows environment were-as when the program says they need to right and then do it will act just like Windows in giving them a right click list etc with the usual copy and paste on. But where do I start?I know you probably get the whole were do i start alot but its bugging me and i could do to get it finished asap which is a shame
I know the main thing would be to start of simple and then work on it over time and so I think the starting point would be to get the right click issue going but I'm not sure how. I found This Archived Page when searching but I'm not sure how to implement the code or were to add the next image (if it is called image ) to show the right click menu.

View 6 RepliesI'd like to know if there is some documentation available to know how Flash detects webcams in order to know why it cannot get a Primesense/Kinect camera.
I think it'd be really useful to access Kinect without using the OpenKinect scheme (server-client), but using a real driver for Flash based on Video4Linux.
I have uploaded an .swf file to my site but when I embed it into my site page it won't play all the way through, it just freezes about half way. But the same .swf file will play fine in Flash.. I am using a content management system called Teamsite.
This file is not especially large only 377KB, I have tried removing images to reduce the size down to 96KB and it will still freeze. The file is just rotating images and uses no fancy effects just a simple fade.
What I want is to play a swf file in my site. And when that swf animation file ends that is fully watched by the User, I want to call a PHP page.

View 4 RepliesWhat I want to do is to remove an item from the array targetArray when the tween hitFade has finished. I added a MOTION_FINISH event to the hitFade tween which calls the spliceTarget function. I wanted to send an argument to the function indicating the targetArray index to splice, but apparently I'm not allowed to send any argument.
how do I send the targetArray index (i) along to the spliceTarget function?
I'm guessing that I could put i into a global variable and use that in the spliceTarget function, but that seems kind of roundabout.
Code:
var hitFade:Tween = new Tween(targetArray[i], "alpha", Strong.easeOut, targetArray[i].alpha, 0, 1, true);
hitFade.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, spliceTarget);
