I have some code which moves back and forth through my menu so that it scrolls in relation to where the mouse is on teh screen. The problem is that I cant get it to scroll smoothly and is a little jerky... I want to ass maybe some smoothness or maybe a little lag to it so it just seems more smooth. I have pasted the main code I have so far below.. I am using AS3 at the moment.
[Code]...
I have a stack of images that I need to move down when the mouse is above y = 250 and up when the mouse is below y = 250. I have this code, but the problem is I don't know how to add easing.
Code:
onEnterFrame = function() {
someConstant = 2342;
lastIndex = picThumbArray.length - 1;
[Code]....
If mouse position X is between 0 and 100 play "sound1"
When mouse leaves these co-ordinates stop playing sound instantly
If mouse position X is between 101 and 200 play "sound2"
When mouse leaves these co-ordinates stop playing sound instantly
If mouse position X is between 201 and 300 play "sound 3"
When mouse leaves these co-ordinates stop playing sound instantly
And then
If mouse y position is between 1 and 50 volume = 50%
If mouse y position is between 51 and 100 volume = 100%
This is a CS4 file so and I have CS5 so if you give me either it will be awesome
I have a movie clip that follows the mouse..
Its not done yet but its gonna be a dog chasing a/the mouse...
I want to have it where the if the mouse is left or right of the following movie clip it shows it walking toward the mouse... so something like
if mouse positions is less the the cursor + 10 (pixels) goto and play frame with dog walking left and one for right up down (I want this to walk till its directly under or over mouse and then laydown or jump only when over or under mouse..
(say its a 20 pixel wide object and 10 on each side will cover the whole thing and not just the exact center pixel, thats what the 10 + movie clip position is for, but Is there a way to tell it to goto and play whatever_frame when mouse is left of any graphic on the sitting dog section??? like the equivalent of onRollLeft or whatever.)
this is the code i have.. its the top statement that doesn't work the bottom 2 do..
Code:
if (_xmouse < detail.x+10) {detail.gotoAndPlay(61);
}
detail.onRollOver = function() {
detail.gotoAndPlay(31);
[Code].....
I already created the shapes and placed them in the appropriate frames.. you should only need to mess with the actions on the instance "detail" (the dog face in frame 1 of scene 1 in layer "follower" ---- just the actionscript needed for that instance is needed in the reply.. you should not need to chage any of the layers, but if you do just tell me what you did and why.
my fla is to big to upload to this form so im placing it on my website here

Could anybody point me to the right direction on how to do the background for [URL]? Is each of the tiny things seperate movieclips that move with relation to the mouse? I want to understand how it works since it seems to work efficiently and doesn't have any slowdown.
View 1 RepliesI have made a map which I have made scrollable across the stage using the keyboard arrow keys.
e.g:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(39)) {
_x=_x-4;
[Code]....
These on screen buttons allow the user to move the map every time they click however it would be more user friendly if these buttons continued to move the map on a hold down state until released or via rolling on/off.
Envrironment: Flash CS3, AS3 I have a horizontal image scrolling project that I am working on, and it works but is not super smooth, I would like it to be smoother when it scrolls, and realize that this is a function of pixels scrolled over time and the FPS of the document.
Right now I am moving the items 1 pixel at a time on a timer with delay of 8 to get it to scroll at the speed I want. I am moving it at 1 pixel in order to catch exactly when an object should wraparound to the beginning of the scroller to show up again. So I don't know that I can really change the number of pixels moved to more than 1 and still have the images spaced perfectly, which makes me think I need to increase or decrease the FPS and or the timer delay to make it scroll smoother. Right now it is at 30FPS and as mentioned the timer delay is 8. Small changes to the delay is not a problem.
This is one aspect of flash i don't fully understand. I would really like to know how to figure this out so I can apply it to future projects as well without doing trial and error to make it smooth. Can it be function, like a way to figure out I need to move a 120pixel picture 60 pixels in 2 seconds, what should my FPS be and the picture size and movement size and number of seconds can be variables?
I'm creating a website and I need to have a slideshow of scrolling pictures (not interactive to user) and I know how to do it with the old motion tweening but when I play the movie the scrolling pic is not smooth but choppy. I already played around with frames and frame rates; the image scrolls faster or slower but the choppines remains. Here is an example of what im looking to do: **Notice how the picture of the bed scrolls smoothly when the site loads. [URL]
I know that for this site they probably used the "ease" effect and that works when the image is gonna stay still at the end but for my movie the images are gonna be scrolling up,down,left,right in a loop. Can you guys tell me how can I do this without the movie being choppy? perhaps there's a way to do it with code.
I'm making a side scrolling platformer and I wonder why image movement is so choppy, especially if velocities arent whole numbers? Images I'm using are: one 320*350, one 500*500 and few of 50*50 all in PNG format with alpha support and cached as bitmap. Framerate is 30FPS.
View 1 Repliesbelow is a link to a super simple movie that I have of text scrolling/moving horizontally across the screen.The only issue I have is at the quality of the scroll/movement. it is inconsistently jerky, sometimes when it first starts getting on the screen and leaving the screen sometime all the time and sometimes when it leaves the screen.I have had this issue with other movies and scrolling things across the screen horizontally I had to increase the frame rate to 30 fps and extend the time line but it never really got to be a smooth scroll.
View 1 RepliesIs there any way that i can smooth out images that zoom in/out with normal classic tween. they are so jittery it looks terrible. I even have a little bit of easing and frames per second set to 30.
View 5 RepliesI'm seeing everyone using the TileList in flex but can you create a smooth scrolling effect in AS3 swf?

I am trying to adjust the speed of the scroll box. It is a little too quick. I am not sure where to start.....I tried adjusting the button (_root.TextBox.scroll -= 1;) but it won't accept any smaller numbers. Can someone point me in the right direction?
View 1 RepliesI started known about FLASG a few day ago. I am very, very interesting about its.
My boss want i make a text display in bottom screen and scrolling from right to left (same as display on TV). But, i used to keyframe to solved this solution but they are slowly and not smooth. Now i want text display running smoother. I not good at Flash .I am programmer , C# is my programming language.
I'm just fine tuning my flash site and am trying to get my custom scroller to scroll my text smoothly.
Basically I am using scrollertext.scrollV [URL] to scroll my text inside a function but scrollV is an int and flash performs vertical scrolling per lines. My text is quite large in some areas and the scroller is very 'non smooth'. How else can I achieve a smooth scrolling effect (would be nice to scroll in pixel values not line values) ?
[URL]
Here is an example online, I am trying something similar but am not happy with what I am seeing, perhaps it is just on my side. The scrolling seems choppy/jagged. I have this same issue doing a similar scroll with lots of big images. Is there any way to get a nice smooth scroll at a decent speed with flash?
Ive ported my as2 code into as3 but am seeing the same results. I have used tweener and tweenlite, nothing Ive tried is helping. how to achieve a smooth scroll?
Here's the scenario... I have an .swf that is 1050px in height. On most browser's that is too tall. What I'd like to do, is use the browser's scroll bars to auto scroll to the bottom of the page during the loading sequence, and then scroll back up to the top. To do this, I'll need to make a javascript function call using ExternalInterface.call();
I found a suitable smooth scrolling javascript example on the internet. [URL] By clicking <a href> links, it scrolls to HTML anchors on the page. I figured that instead of clicking on the textual links like in that example, I could simulate the event by calling the event from flash. I'm just not sure how to do it exactly.

How can I make a smooth flash scrolling effect same like http:[url]..........
View 2 RepliesI've made the kirupa simple scrollbar [URL] to scroll horizontal. This works just perfect but it is not smooth. My question to you is - how to make it smooth? I've got 4 MC's with the instance names content, mask, scroll_area and scroller.
My AS looks like this:
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.content_width = content._width;
_root.scroller_area_width = scroll_area._width;
scroller._width = _root.scroller_area_width/(content._width/scroll_area._width);
_root.scroller_width = scroller._width;
[Code] .....
I'd really like some feedback on how you create that smooth scrolling action on sites like electrongeek.net.
View 1 RepliesI'm making a side-scrolling game, with a (theoretically) infinite background. I have a block engine that places the blocks on the bitmap canvas. Now here's the catch. I'm using the bitmapData.scroll() function. Now unless I clear the screen each time the character moves, it's going to leave ghost images of the border of the screen, like this picture: zanzlanz. tumblr. com/post/18857712784 If I clear the screen each time, then it generates a lot of lag (because it has to repaint the objects again). I'm a bit lost on how I can scroll without leaving streaks of the side of the screen and without repainting the entire screen.
View 1 RepliesI am making a webTV player, and I have a combobox displaying the entries. When scrolling the combobox, the scrolling jumps between the entries. I would like to have it scroll though the entries smoothly and not jump.
View 1 RepliesI have a spark List with an item renderer and a tile layout. If I scroll by clicking with the mouse on the scroll bar and trying to scroll with the mouse wheel after that, there is a problem: The interval of the scrolling is oversized, instead of scrolling one item down (or up) the List scrolls 4 items down (or up).

I'm working on a UI and I'm using a MouseOver of a MovieClip to trigger the play of animation in the exact same position.It works well, except if the mouse is moving too fast. Then it seems the playback gets stuck.
I'm just wondering if there are any ways to make this more responsive? I'm also wondering if having the MouseOver and the resulting animation could be causing the issue..[URL]...
Every autoscroller file I've played with will continue to scroll when the mouse is moved away from the scrolling thumbnails (or what ever else might be scrolling.
View 0 RepliesI am playing around with AS3 and what I'm trying to do is pretty simple. I have a little test FLA: http:[url]......There is a button that when you scroll over it the alpha goes up to .90 and when you mouse off it it goes back down to .50 alpha.This is all controled by Tween in AS3. The 3 problems that I'm having are:
1) How to define a variable that that is a number that has a blank value like with a string its:
Code:
var test:String = "";
Right? But I have no idea how do do the same thing with a number var.
2) Next thing that I'm confused about it there a way to get a smooth mouse alpha tween on the button. Like as it currenlty is when you mouse over it goes from .50 to .90% alpha. See this isn't all that bad but if you mouse over the button again real fast before the tween goes back to .50 it looks like it get lighter really fast and then gets darker.
3) Finally when you click the replay button the button alpha jumps down to .50 no matter what. You have to actully mouse off and then mouse back on for it to go back up to .90 like it should be when your mouse is hovering on the button.
I have one very large movieclip, and I'd like to create a very smooth (eased), tween, that moves it around the stage, on mouse move. so far, I've read the "get mouse direction" article, and that's helped a lot. and I'm calculating the distance the mouse is moving.. and that's all good and dandy,.. but I'm having a little trouble converting that into a smooth scroll.. I'd like to use tweenmax preferably, and not an on enterframe.
View 14 Repliestutorial where when you click on a movie clip it moves to a certain location on the page and then zoom in and makes it a certain size. Also i want it to move back to its original location if you click it again.I want the move and zoom to be smooth so the users can see it move across the screen then gradually get bigger.
View 5 RepliesIs it possible to keep an image at a static location on the screen when the page is scrolled down?
For instance, if I have a .swf with properties of 1700 px height and I am displaying an image (jpg) in a loader whose y position is 40px from the top of the screen when viewed in a browser.
is it possible to "float" that image so that it stays 40px from the top of the browser window when the user scrolls down to see the rest of the page?
I'm trying to set up a gallery and have a grid of thumbs displayed, each of which open a full-sized copy of the image on the thumb.
The thumbnails go beyond the bottom of the screen and when I scroll down to see more thumbs, if a large image is displayed at the time, it scrolls off the top of the screen.
