ActionScript 3.0 :: Motion Tween - Animating Object Around Track?
Jul 6, 2011
Right now, I have a car object named car that I want to animate around a track. I did the animation using a motion tween, then used the Copy Motion as AS3 option, the code looks something like this (arrays have been simplified so as not to take up too much room). The code works just fine, the car moves around the track like I wanted it to, but I was wondering is it possible to press a button to stop the animation at a certain point, then resume playing it again when pressing a different button?
ActionScript Code:
var motionGuide:MotionBase;
if(motionGuide == null) {
motionGuide = new Motion();
motionGuide.duration = 20;
[Code] .....

I've made 3 different symbols of a running Super Mario -- the first one is his first running frame in the Super Mario Bros. video game, the second one is his second running frame, etc. I would like to create a motion tween of these 3 symbols, so it looks like he's running from one point of the screen to the other. I'm unsure of how I would go ahead to accomplish this.

I'm working on my portfolio site, and I used a panning effect on the background so the user can interact with the site and pan left/right to click on the items.
my problem lies with the motion tween. It needs to pan with the background, AND move on its own path. it's a car moving down a road, and it needs to stay in its path. it works perfectly, until the mouse is moved, which stops the animation, and then the car follows the panning movement, but stops the motion tween effect
I've also tried saving it out as an external SWF file. the tweening worked ok, and it does get the initial assignment, but it doesn't track the panning background.

I need to have a textbox displaying the x coordinates of an object during its motion tween. I know how to do it for individual frames but don't know how to add an eventListener to do it over the span of the tween.

Im trying to make a ball move to the position of a crosshair (not the mouse, but another object on the stage) which stops after 15 seconds (if you can imagine a penalty shoot out game).
So the ball is still to begin, but on an onClipEvent(enterFrame)command it should move to the target (the crosshair)
Getting the ball to move along a line at a specified speed is no problem, but I want the ball to actually go to and stop wherever the crosshair is on the stage.

I'm a young girl who recently discovered flash cs3 (I started yesterday) I found this tutorial about how to make a flying bird. I did as the tutorial said, I just made a butterfly instead of a bird. Now I made a flower and I want the butterfly to land on the flower. The tutorial only showed me how to make the bird/butterfly fly through the scene and not how to stop it while I still see it in the scene. I figured out how to stop the motion tween but then the butterfly dissappeared from the flash file after it stopped and I also figured out how to make it land on the flower but it keeps moving its wings Now I need help to make it stop moving the wings while it's still visible. I hope my explanation is understandable. As I said I just started with this program so I don't know how to explain all the different things.
I tried to upload the file on imageshack but it seems like it doesn't support this kind of file, or I'm saving it wrong. I could need some help with that too so I can show others what I'm making without that they have to download the file so it's easier to get help when I'm stuck A link to the .swf file [URL]

I have encountered an interesting situation, I would like to simulate a ball thrown by a goalkeeper from top. Ball is going to move from right to left, it is small at the beginning, getting bigger at the half, because it gains height, and small again at the end. The scenario is this. And I do not want to use any actionscript code because of the performance loss caused by the event listeners.
How can I simulate two different kinds of tween (horizontal move is without ease and vertical move is with easeOut and easeIn) in the design environment of Flash cs5.5
By the way, I have already tried using actionscript code however, because there so many concurrent event, a little lag is occured at the beginning of each tween start.

I've got a movieClip, initially it starts with a motion tween, like a pop-in effect, and then after that i've created a keyframe and made the movieClip to continue to, like 450 frames.So the tween finishes at frame 20 and then from frame 21 just the movieClip is displayed.When I write a script at frame 21 to reference this movieClip I get a null object reference error.In this script I want to reference a button which is inside of it, but I'm pretty sure that I cant access this movieClip whatsoever.

lets say we want to animate an object using the 3d position its (Z position)to be exact, from keyrame 1 to keyframe 40 or so on. i put the object on keyrame 1 to 10000position and view and then its keyframe on 40 to 0 position and view,so it looks like a nice object zooming towards you as you see it.but how can we get the object to constantly spin around and around(like from the motion presets from the default:spiral 3D ) .so it seems like a coin been tossed.

I have 10 objects in 10 layers to make a single logo. I have created them using flash drawing objects. Now I would like each object to come one by one on stage using motion tween. How can I go further? Do I need to make each object a movie clip before set it motion tween? Or do I need to make a single movie with all 10 objects as combined? Please note that I need each object to come on stage one by one (not a whole logo on once). Please provide help or any example tutorial link.

I made a little flash presentation where a bulb increases in brightness as the mouse goes over it and decreases as the mouse goes out. I set up the object on the stage and created a motion tween equal to 30 frames in which the object starts dull and increases in brightness. To control it, I made this little script:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, startScan);
mcBulbLit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, startShow);
function startShow(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(31);
} function startScan(event:Event):void {
[Code] .....
For some reason the bulb only goes back one frame and then stops at that frame.

I am facing a problem in one of my animation with flash CS4 - I have nested a Shape Tween in a Motion tween to get more control over the easers and effects, unfortunately I am not able to view on the timeline of my Motion Tween the action of the Shape tween nested inside.
It only show the first shape of the Shape Tween during the entire Motion Tween and that is really a problem for me because I need to see the final frame result of that Shape tween to be able to position it in a precise way on my scene according to other instances.

I'm making a "master movie" for an assignment and I'm stuck right now. What I've got is an Intro page that will serve at the Parent.swf to load 4 other child swf's upon a mouse click. The problem is I have a theater stage where I tweened an animation to make it appear the curtain on the stage is going up but once it reaches it maximum height....the tween abruptly stops. I want it to HOLD there until a user clicks a button.
How would I make this happen? Here is the page in question: [URL]...

I can't with this, that AS put leafs in the screen and move them on X axis from left to right, and I want the opposite, from right to left, and I can't fix the code, I thought the key was to change this:
Code:
moveLeaf = function () { this._x += this.speed;if (this._x>SW+10) {this._x = -10;}};
into this:
Code:
moveLeaf = function () { this._x -= this.speed;if (this._x>SW+10) {this._x = -10;}};
with that the movement goes from right to left just as I want but, when all the leafs appears on the screen, it stops from creating more.Here is the entire code:
Code:
kNbrLeaves = 15;
kLeafLayer = 100;
SW = 760;
keep track of width and height of stage
SH = 300;
// move leaves to the right
moveLeaf = function () { this._x += this.speed;if (this._x>SW+10) {this._x = -10;}};
// Initial Leaf setup
for (i=0; i<kNbrLeaves; ++i) {[code].....

How do I add motion blur to a motion tween?

Aug 13, 2007
I have applied a blur to the begining of a MC, and I would like to fade the blur out once the animation is complete.
While I'm able to remove the initial blur, it is not a gradual, smooth transition. It merely "snaps" back with no blur applied.
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.filters.*;

John Ulliman uses actionScript3 with Flash CS3 and I have Flash CS5 which is the main difference. It appears he uses a classic tween (from CS4 and CS5's perspective).I have a thumbnail which is created as a movie symbol and when I double click on the timeline I have a tween of zero saturation (frame 1) to 100% saturation (frame 10) back to zero saturation frame 20. When I scrub the timeline the classic tween fades up and down correctly. But when I trigger the rollover (and rollout) event from the main timeline which should goto the movie instance called mThumb0.gotoAndPlay(2) starting at frame 2 for ROLL_OVER and Thumb0.gotoAndPlay(11) for the ROLL_OUT event it seems to only change the saturation a little but not touch the saturation filter.
I don't know if there is something about the different tweens (Classic and Motion) that I need to know. I don't know what the sync checkmark does but I tried it on and off with no help. I put trace statements that indicate the ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT events are being triggered and the functions the events trigger are being called correctly but I don't know how to debug what is happening with the timeline after the mThumb0.gotoAndPlay occurs.

I've got a movieclip with some bitmaps rotating in 3d, all good there. But when I load a swf over it and animate an object in that swf, parts of the 3d object underneath it disappear.I've attached some screenshots to show sort of what I mean. I've got a link if you'd be interested in thinking it out with me.

whether it be text, symbol, a shape that I drew. None of it works. When I create the motion tween the line arrow in the timeline doesn't show up like it should. Here is the extremely simple animation i'm doing. The problem are for the bottom 9 layers starting from frame 80. I converted all of those to graphic symbols and I'm just trying to do a very simple alpha 0-100 while resizing the letters. I've also tested motion tween on very simple shapes and it never works. I just don't get it.

I am currently using CS4 but taking a class that is using CS3. The problem is I am finding the "motion tween" is not creating a tween. What is the difference between the motion tween in CS3 and CS4.I can get the tween to work if I use the "classic tween" but the instructor is saying I must use the motion tween.

I'm trying to get the name of a motiontween in AS3. I have many tweens that call a generic function on MOTION_FINISH.
mainContent3X = new Tween(MainContent3, "x", Strong.easeOut, MainContent3.x, 1750, 1, true);
I need to get the number/name to know what to do. I've tried the following with no luck:
trace(event.currentTarget.toString());
trace(event.currentTarget.name);
