I am trying to write a script that animates images, movingthem smoothly and slowly across the stage. If I load the image inauthoring time and embed it on a movie clip, i have no problemincrementing the x position by 0.25 for example. But if a load theimage at runtime using a loader the image jumps from pixel topixel. For some reason it seems that I am not able to turn thepixelSnapping of
View 5 RepliesI have a moving vehicle on the stage, which should change directions according to where I click on the stage.I already made it work using this formula:var angle:Number = Math.atan2(dy,dx)*180/Math.PI+90;However, I need the car to tween to the correct angle, instead of just "jumping" to it. While this is easy enough to do, the car sometimes takes the longer turn (especially when I click in the bottom-left quarter of the stage), and it seems unnatural.

View 3 RepliesI have been working on a couple of projects where image scrolling have been necessary, usually along the x-axis, cause of the number of images - usually the scroll is started if you roll-over a button or something. I have solved it using a Timer, or previously setInterval, that updates the .x-property like 30 times a second or so. But in the end this method turns out to be kind of laggy, regardless of what fps I use. So I wonder if you guys could share your prefered method of scrolling

View 1 RepliesI'm working on co-developing a game in flash, which involves, among other things, designating a path along which an image has to travel. Basically, it collects mouse coordinates, and needs to move the image to each set of coordinates in order. My co-developer insists that it needs to be done with trigonometry.Or is there some simpler method to move an image/movie clip/etc. cleanly to a given position on the stage?
View 2 RepliesRecently I came across a site showing a no. of images (probably 8 - 10) rotating around an invisible eclipse. When we put mouse-pointer over any of the images it's tip shows a linked site's name and if clicked that particular site opens up. Only one image is displayed perfectly which is on the top while rotating, while other remain blurred out not clickable. How to create such effect as I need to get it implemented.

i'm trying to use code so if i type in -10 to 10 the object will move up or down the y axis. The code i'm using at the moment calculates how far to move it from the number inputed, then it removes te object and places it in the required position. However doing the removeChild technique messes up when having many on the stage. I was wondering if anyone knew a way of calculating the rating and then using it to move the object on the stage without removing it and adding it. Here is the code i'm using to move it. OR a way in which i can remove certain objects on the stage using remove child

I purchased a flash home page template that had menu buttons at the top that I decided not to use. I removed the buttons, but now there is a 125 pixel blank horixontal space at the top of the stage. I tried resizing the horizontal size of the stage hoping the artwork would move up and eliminate the blank area, but the stage sizes from the bottom up. The layers get cutoff at the bottom and the blank space is still at the top.
The movie is quite complex with many layers and 450+ frames. Have attached the swf file to illustrate how the top of the stage is empty after I removed the menu buttons. Is there any way to get all of the layers to move up by 125 pixels so that they fill in the blank space without having to do each layer one at a time?
This code complains thatI need to import flash.display.MovieClip, but I have and it dosn't understand addChild.Very simple code

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to have a stationary video (ex: of spokesperson) move across the stage, in a manner that would appear to have a "panning camera" effect? I've attempted to produce this effect by simply importing the video as an imbedded video, then dropping a new layer into the timeline, and then simply placing a new keyframe where I'd like the video to begin a panning camera effect, but it starts the video over again where I've place the new keyframe. Is it even possible to acheive this sort of effect through Flash or can I only do this in AE or Premiere?

View 1 RepliesFirstly, I want to be able to push the space bar on my keyboard during a swf, and for a movie clip to appear on the stage. This is what I have so far:
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
_root.attachMovie("Explosion", "Explosion"+i, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root["Explosion"+i]._x = _x;
_root["Explosion"+i]._y = _y-20;
}}
but its not working....
Secondly, I want A movie clip to spawn in the middle of the stage, then randomly travel outwards to the edge of the stage, then dissapear. And this needs to happen over and over, with the same movie clip travelling to a different place each time. This is what I have so far :
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
timer = 0;
i = 0;
a = 0;
b = 0;

I'm new to Flash, am working on my first Flash Project. I've been trying to move a particular symbol from my library onto the stage and when I do, I'm getting a "Resolve Library Conflict" error that says "One or more library items already exist in the document." and it gives me the choice to replace the existing items or not. It only appears to be happening with 1 or 2 particular symbols, not all of them. I did use this same symbol (as a graphic bullet) earlier in the project with no problem, but now it won't let me use it again. However, I have other symbols in the library that I have used multiple times throughout the project and I don't get this error pop-up when moving them into new frames. I don't see any mention of this in my Flash book, why I'm getting this and how to resolve it?

View 1 RepliesI have MovieClips in the library that are instantiated and loaded to an array. From that array I want to add them to the stage and move them across one by one at specific intervals. I've chosen not to use a tween because it acted finicky and the MCs get stuck for whatever reason. So I've taken a different approach by changing the x coordinate of the individual MC with a timer to make it move (sort of like a particle system.) The problem is that each one needs to be assigned it's own timer function. As of right now every time the timer fires it just resets to the next item in the array and nothing moves. The only solution I can think of is to write an individual timer function for all 18. This seem impractical and there has to be a better way. I guess idealy I would need a function that can write a new function for each array item but I have no idea how to do that. Here's some of my code:
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(4000);
var moveTimer:Timer;
myTimer.start();

I am trying for moving a graphic across the stage, using a png image of a vehicle created in photoshop. Top to bottom travel takes 2 secs and stage is 767 pixels height.24fps is default and I have timeline at 48 frames long.Test movie sees very noticeable jerkiness in the motion, I expected one smooth movement up the screen, I sort of see two windscreens etc. Now I seem to recall that 25fps in video editing sees smooth motion as the human eye cant't perceive individual frames at that rate. What should I be doing to get a png to run smooth ?I tried doubling the fps and timeline length, it got a bit better, I kept doubling such and each time it improved, I hit the limit at 120fps. Its acceptable now but that seems wrong to have to do that, Timeline is going to be massive as actual movie to be 20 secs. Are there settings to be made somewhere to smooth things and use 24fps ?Png is 20kb, background image is 1.28Mb as a png. Envirographics
View 5 RepliesI'm making an image gallery and I want to have a bunch of thumbnails on the bottom of the screen that smoothly slide from side to side when the mouse moves.
I'm working with a custom class for the container (Tiles) and a custom class for the thumbnails (ImageIcon).
I have a ComboBox which allows users to to choose a gallery. When the user chooses a gallery, the following code is run and the thumbnails should reload. The problem here is that the icons appear on top of each other instead of side by side, also switching categories should remove the old one (see the first for loop), but it does not. Also, the Icons are not animating properly. The animation code is below as well. Right now, only one of the icons will move. The icons should move in order from side to side, stopping when the last few icons hit the edge of the screen, so that they don't get "lost" somewhere off to the side.
Gallery Loader Code:
public function loadCategory(xml:XML = null){
if(xml != null){
dp = new DataProvider(xml);

I want to make a movie clip move anywhere outside the stage, but dont really know how should I do it, here is the codeI think that some changes should be made somewhere around math.random, where I put that // ???btw, I got this code from a tutorial where it was about attaching like 50 balls at once, making them move to random locations so there might be some useles things too the point is that I want a ball to be attached somewhere, preferably to the middle of the stage, and I want it to move in random direction with constant speed. I tried many ways of doing it, but the ball was changing direction every frame or other lame things happened
