I'd like a page with several buttons, each starting a different loop of sound (no more than a few seconds), so that you can end up with several loops playing at once. Is it possible to force any subsequent buttons pressed to wait until the existing loops reach their start before starting it's own loop? So that when a button is pressed it's loop will sync up with what is already playing?

View 2 RepliesI have two movie clips on the stage: mcA and mcB, each have a function when rolled over:
mcA.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER , aActivated);function aActivated (event:MouseEvent):void{ trace('mcA was rolled over');}mcB.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER , bActivated);function bActivated (event:MouseEvent):void{ trace('mcB was rolled over');}
Under certain circumstances mcA may overlap mcB. When the cursor rolls over their intersecting area I would like both functions to launch, how do I do that? Currently, the problem is that only the object on the top will launch its function.
So i have a movie clip inside another movie clip and i want to detect when my mouse is over the internal movie clip. I have tried attaching a mouse event listener to the internal mc but that didnt work.

I want the buttoms to control the content pages.. when "option 1" is selected I would like the current page to start playing (where i have it fading out along its timeline) and the other page to come in!
I have no idea how to do this.... do you use IF commands?? if buttonpress etc

View 2 RepliesI have a project that was done in AS2, and instead of porting it to AS3(no budget..)I created an AS3 "shell" for all new features to be loaded into, and am communicating between the as2 and as3 with localConnection. This works fine, but the problem is since I want the new content to appear to be part of the old, I need to 'float' the as3 swf over/above the as2 swf. I can do this no problem using divs and css, but as soon as I do, the localConnection fails to connect in either swf. Both the swfs function fine in this configuration, but no localConnection
View 0 RepliesI'm trying to make a Image Gallery for my website by myself. However, although I can read ActionScript rather well, when it comes to writing it myself I tend to hit massive walls. Anyway I've looked at many tutorials and guides and all kinds of stuff but I still can't figure out how to get the coding to do what I want it to do. It isn't a bug because I can't get the foundations of the code down.
What I am envisioning is a initial main menu with several different selections (I.E. 3D models, 2D drawings, doodles, ect. ect. ect.) and when you click one it changes to that specific gallery. The way I thought to do it was using OOP to make a base GalleryEngine class and then implement it for the Main Menu and Image Galleries. I realize that I could do all this in flash but I think if I can get the framework of the code down that it will be easier to modify and switch out images and whatnot.

Basically I'm creating two (can be more or less) rows of layered MC treaten as Buttons.In each MC there is a small thumbnail hidden behind a coloured layer. When roll_over the coloured layer, this alpha goes to 0(zero) and entire MC resize +10% over x and y.On roll_out the opposite occurs, everything should get to the original alpha and size.The Problem: when moving the mouse really fast over the MC's and stop suddenly over one of them it starts 'blinking'

I'm having a problem with importing a layered PSD file into Flash, an issue which i've read about in a number of forums but haven't yet been able to fix.
The content of the PSD file in question is numerous layers of line drawing which I am importing to the Stage and converting to keyframes in Flash. The layers have no white background and are clear but for the lines of drawing.
The problem I'm having is that the first layer of the PSD file imports perfectly, with its quality intact, but all those which follow it are distorted and jagged, and look pretty awful for some reason.
I have experimented with both lossy (set at 100) and lossless compressions to try and improve the layer quality, lossless is marginally better but not the best.
I just realized I was working on 4:3 when I need to make a 16:9 movie. So I resized the stage, but now everything is on the left side.
I tried turning on "edit multiple frames" and marked the entire stage, layers and frames and moved everything to the centre. Almost everything moved, excepted for material that is on motion tween key frames.
I'm making a game and I need to represent a "layered" circle in some clever datastructure.A circle can have any number of layers. Each layer has a number of "slices", they can be of different lengths and pieces can be missing. The innermost layer is always a full circle.Each segment has a color, multiple segments with the same color can be next to each other. Realistically a circle wont have more than about 40 layers or about 1500 individual slices.I will need to be able to easily find adjacent pieces to a specific piece, see if a piece is "hanging in free air" (imagine gravity towards the center), and to remove pieces leaving a hole in their place.
View 7 RepliesI have a Flash movie which is synched to an MP3 file by adding keyframes at the appropriate points to trigger actions.
In the *.fla file, and in an exported *.swf or *.exe Projector file the synching is retained perfectly. However, when I include the *.swf in an html file, the synching is lost. It would appear that either the MP3 file is playing at the right speed and the movie is lagging behind, or the movie is at the right speed and the MP3 is playing faster than it should.
I have matched the Audio Output stream to the MP3 file in the Publish Settings dialogue (both now 128kbps), but the drifting still occurs in an html page.

View 1 RepliesFrameSync is a free Flash extension, originally released nearly 2 years ago, that allows you rapidly lip-sync your characters with an audio track. Version 2.0 allows you sync your characters even faster and easier than before. ew features include a keyframe mode, audio playback and frame navigation for Flash CS5, and performance improvements. See this post for more details.

The first few sounds are syncing perfectly, however when I test the movie in Flash Player, at about the middle part of the animation, the sounds no longer sync; they play ahead of where they are supposed to. Testing the movie right in Flash, though, the sounds are fine. Exporting to a SWF file as well as a MPEG-4 also plays the unsynched sounds where they are not supposed to be

View 7 RepliesI'm making an animation in flash CS5, and everything went well with it until a certain scene, which is no different than the other scenes in terms of animation/audio. In that scene, while one character is finishing his audio sentence, the next audio line already begins, screwing up the animation to audio sync in the animation from that point on. This doesn't make sense because the line that begins too early, isn't marked to play until a few seconds into the NEXT scene. Why is this happening? I tried so many things and it's really frustrating that nothing is working. I tried changing the lines from even, to stream, from mp3 to wav, making scenes longer at the end, but no matter what I do, the next audio line begins really early, messing up the entire audio to animation sync of the entire video from that point on.

View 2 RepliesFLASH CS5

I would like to sync my sound file with the text on the timeline. This would amount to sound being played and the text changing color when that word is read. I have tried this manually in earlier versions of flash. I timed up the sound file with the text/color. Using this method the results were spotty and not always the same. Sometimes, depending on the computer, it was timed perfectly, others it was a second or so off.
Is there an easier way to accomplish sound to text syncing?
1) Using Flash CS5?
2) Using After Affects? - I thought about using AA because I can control the sound better. But I would prefer to use Flash.
3) Another program?
problem - syncing some background music with a movieclip. I am aware that you can place a sound directly onto the timeline of a movieclip: this was my first attempt at syncing the two up. Unfortunately the problem with this is that the sound (which is quite long) then won't STOP until it finishes playing regardless of whether I stop the movieclip or remove it from the stage. I also have no control over the volume this way.The only other method I can come up with involves keeping track of the current frame of the mc and triggering the sound manually, but this still goes out of sync if too much is happening at once and the framerate drops.
View 3 RepliesFirst of all, final swf file size needs to be max 30kb. So I can not use Fuse (which would do the job automatically for some reason) nor complex stuff.
I have timeline tweened a image to scale (loops like a heartbeat) on main scene. Then on onRollOver another movieClip appears with different image but with "same" timeline tween (same as in keyframes in same frames and animation the same lenght).
When I hover my mouse on top of the "main" image, which is pulsating, the appearing movieClip is pulsating in the same rhythm but out of sync.
my code so far:
Code:
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
logo_mc.onRollOver = function() {

I made about a 1 minute animation synched to music soundtrack. When I play (command Enter) from Flash everything synchs up fine, but when I play the swf alone in the Flash player the audio and animation get out of synch. I tried setting the audio to stream but that made things worse, and I also tried increasing the compression rate of the audio file which helped but is not perfect. I found a snippet of AS2 code that I am trying to convert to AS3 that uses the sounds position to set the frame number via onEnterFrame. I'm also using a frame rate of 29.97.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI have a question regarding which version of Flash Media Server will best serve the project I am currently working on and whether the approach I have in mind is possible with FMS.The project envolves Flash Media Server syncing a dynamic background across multiple Flash Players running on separate computers on the same local network. One approach is to have FMS handle the variables and calculation on its side and communicate this to the other Flash Players (this I understand can be done with the Streaming Server).The second approach is to have FMS execute ActionScript on its own side to create the dynamic background and then serve this out as a video stream to the other computers. (With this approach FMS can completely takeover the processing required to generate the background content and the other computers only need to play it back as video. Is this type of approach possible with FMS and, if yes, with which version.
View 1 RepliesI'm using a DisplacementMapFilter to created a globe-like effect on a flat map. My problem is, I also want to sync some labels to this map. I have the x/y coordinates for their locations on the flat map, but I need to map them to the now-displaced image.
I would like to be able to do this using the BitmapData that contains the displacement map, so that changing the Bitmap changes both the displacement filter and the label locations. Also, the labels will not be static, and accuracy is fairly important.
I have a Flex/BlazeDS webapp (pseudo content management system) with a Java backend running on 2 Weblogic 10.3 servers for load balancing and HA purposes.Basically, I'm using AMF polling to update my app such that when a user opens a document from the search results, the corresponding row will display a locked icon across all user displays that currently have that document on the screen.
The problem I have is that if a user connected to Server A opens up document X, the locked icon will only appear on the screens of other users connected to Server A. The displays of users connected to Server B will not be updated. Is there any established paradigm or best practice to ensure that the locked update will propagate across all servers?
