ActionScript 3.0 :: Three Separate Tweens - Starting / Looping And Stopping Wheel
Feb 4, 2009
I have a wheel that starts, loops, and slows to a stop, using 3 separate tweens, which is functioning pretty well. The issue I'm having is the transition between the startup tween and the looping tween:
Startup tween:
mWheelStartTween = new Tween(mcWheel, "rotation", Regular.easeIn, mcWheel.rotation, mcWheel.rotation+360, 2, true);
Looping tween:
mWheelLoopTween = new Tween(mcWheel, "rotation", None.easeNone, mcWheel.rotation, mcWheel.rotation+360, 1.5, true);
Visually, everything should be based on the duration of the looping tween. I played with the duration of the starting tween to get it close, but there's still a small jump. How can I set a target rotational velocity for the end of the startup tween, so it seamlessly blends in with the looping rotational velocity? Should I not be using a tween for this? I'd like to pass in a duration value to the looping tween to support different speeds....which would affect the startup as well.

This is NOT the same as my last thread as i am after three and NOT ONE as last time. In the attached movie there are three seperate movies loading into three seperate tweens. Please note that i am happy with this movie as it is, and do not want to change anything about it except for the script itself. It refurs to three seperate clips "b.a","d.c" and "f.e". What i want is for the script to incorperate all three clips under one name of "mc" And instead of have three seperate widths, "width 1","width2" and "width3" i want the script to also incorperate all three widths and heights into just one name of "width" and one name of "height".

I am making a character walk. This code will make him wobble to the right and when thats done it will trigger him to wobble to the left and then call the function again to continue the loop.I can get the loop to work fine by calling the function but how do I STOP the function? Also I want to call it later on. Is there a way to start and stop a function?
function wobble()
{
var ws = .1;
var dis = 1;

I can't seem to get around my video and audio files starting when I arrive at the page. I'm even using some example code with start and stop buttons. This is in CS4 Flash. I expect it's because the ActionScript is in the wrong place because when I run the movie it flashes through all of the pages on the site without stopping at the home page. Is there some generic code that will allow me to simply swap out the name of the video or audio file I want to start. If there is, do I need to locate it on its own layer at the top of the timeline?

ive been trying to modify this text drag script to enable it to use the mouse wheel. ive managed to make it scroll with the mouse, but i cant seem to make it limit itself to the boundaries of the mask, like the dragger behaves. it just keeps scrolling upwards or downwards to infinity. i was thinking if there was a way to make it behave like the dragger.here is the script if u want to take a look. at the bottom i added the mousewheel listener and attached it to the dragger, and it works perfectly, but as i said, it doesnt stop like when you click it and drag it.

I've set a music sound to play across three scenes in my movie. However, when the user clicks to enter the fourth scene, I'd like the music to stop. Simple enough.
Here's the problem...the fourth scene contains individual keyframes in the scene where I have separate voice overs for each frame. The user navs forward or backward among the scene's keyframes using arrow buttons for forward and backward. How can I have the voice over stop playing on frame 1 if the user clicks the arrow to go to frame 2 if the frame 1 sound isn't finished playing? Frame 1 plays out until finished, even if the user has clicked to go to frame 2.
Then, on return to the main scene where the general music file played, I'd like it to resume playing upon the user clicking 'return home.'
Incidentally, I set up my sound files to play on a soundtrack timeline.

I have placed an invisible button over the tweened animation, now here's my question:Whe i click on the invisible button the animation stops and when I click on it again, it restartsSo that's it really, can this be done? I know how to stop the animation by putting a stop in the action script, so I am looking for some actionscript that works on an alternative click method if I am making myself clear? Example:

I'm working on an assignment for a Flash Game Programming class (1 of 2) where I have to take a pre-made animation, add start and stop buttons to it, and use AS3 to make those buttons work. I got the buttons on the .fla, but I'm having a heck of a time stopping the animation using the stop button (I haven't even done the start button yet). This course is an independent study so I'm not being "taught" anything by the instructor. I have to find the answers myself. I've asked said instructor, my former AS instructor, and several computer lab monitors for help and we cannot get the animation to work correctly. There are compile errors that come up that really make no sense. This is my last resort in regards to this assignment!

I want to play my songs in my Flash site..
I tried Making the song title as a button, and then I figured out how to make the song play by releasing the mouse button. This works great, however, when I click on the button numerous times, the song starts playing numerous times..
What I would like is to be able to click on my Song_btn once to start the song, and then click again on the Song.btn to stop the song.
or another option is to start the song with the Song_btn, and then some way to just let that song play through.
I have used the "stop all sounds" command when you navigate away from that songs particular page..

I have a simple tween that runs over 50 frames, there is no stop action so it loops, just what I want. I have placed an invisible button over the tweened animation, now here's my question: When I click on the invisible button the animation stops and when I click on it again, it restarts. So that's it really, can this be done? I know how to stop the animation by putting a stop in the action script, so I am looking for some actionscript that works on an alternative click method if I am making myself clear?
Example: First click stops it, second click starts it, third click stops it fourth click starts it - this goes on forever.

I have 4 sets of 2 buttons (on and off):
Each set of buttons I want to trigger and stop a different audio file. (4 audio files in total)
I would like for the sound files to be saved within the .fla file.
I have done lots of searching but I still haven't been able to get this to work.

I need to create a tall background, when the user clicks on a button the background will scroll up and down to the area that the user wants to go to. ( I　attach an image of how that might look like)
The background is divided in to 4 sections, the way i figure to do this, is to have each section be a different part of the timeline- and what Ｉ need to happen is as the user arrives at one of the sections or in that part of the timeline the mc's on that sections start playing and stoping once he/she leaves.
If there is a better way of doing this as well- feel free of telling me- Im use flash about once a year.

I've been in web development for years, but I never really ventured into Flash beyond simple tweens and so forth. Now I'm trying to broaden my horizons.Using code from a similar post, I've created a rough 'proof of concept' of a spinning window wheel.I tweaked the AS2 code a bit to work the way I'd like it to, but one thing is still tripping me up... How to get the wheel to stop in designated 'zones' so that answers will be clearly visible in the windows.To put it another way, I'd like this thing to work exactly as shown (randomly), but always stop exactly aligned on one of say 12 zones or slices of the circle

It seems I got a well-known problem with Tweens, even when using TweenLite or TweenFilterLite, I got a project with several tweens creating the intro and they often often block/stop before their ends.
Code:
public function addPageGauche():void {
pagegauche.x=50;
globalContainer.addChild(pagegauche);

Im having trouble stopping or starting loaded swf files. I need to dynamically load the swf file but make sure it doesn�t play until the user requests it. The trouble is I wont know anything about the loading swf file (for example frame labels, if it has a 'stop' script in the first frame etc.) Ive attached a simplified version which I think illustrates the problem but the code is:

I have a nested MC that functions as a continuous slider; when you mouse right of center it slides one way and when you mouse left of center it slides the opposite direction. Right at center it stops. The problem I have is that I'm using this as a menu at the bottom of a .swf and there are other places to mouse on the page, which means that this menu is constantly in motion even when it's not being used. I want it to stop when it isn't being used, only because it's an MC I can't use the onMouseOut command to stop the clip. I tried making a button that targets the clip and stops it when you roll over the button but it doesn't work.
Here's the script I'm currently using:
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
xcenter = 467.5;
speed = 1/25;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var distance = _root._xmouse-xcenter;

I'm trying to create 2 separate motion tweens - between frame 1 to frame 35 and frame 36 to 65 but it just won't work.
From frame 1 I want a motion tween to frame 35. We shall call the graphic in frame 1, graphic 1 and frame 35 graphic 2.
Graphic 3 represents frame 35 and graphic 4, frame 36.
When I make a motion tween from frame 1 to 35, it overwrites graphic 3 and 4 with Graphic 1. It will not allow me to put graphic 3 into frame 35, only graphic 1. If i put it in, it will automatically swap.
When I make a motion tween from frame 36 to 65, it works. But then when I try to make the motion tween from frame 1 to 35, it swaps it over.

I'm putting together a little animated Flash homepage for a site I created for my son. [URL].. If you look at it in Internet Explorer, everything works as it should. If you look at it in Firefox or Safari, though, the site title (sliding and fading in from the bottom left) and the navigation (sliding and fading in from the bottom right) stop somewhere around halfway (exactly where often changes).
It appears as if the Tweens are simply stopping about in the middle of their process. This only appears to happen in Safari and Firefox, though - every time it happens in these browsers whereas I can never get it to happen in Internet Explorer.
The objects that are involved in the iffy transitions all exist on the stage in my Flash project whereas the rotating photos are loaded in from external image files - the Flash movie gets their URLs from an XML document.

Trying to see if someone can guide me to a way I could stop my earlier tweens and onRollOver function when my onPress function is launched. What I worked out here with that McX/YScale.stop(); and that target9_mc.onRollOver = null; is kind of working but I don't want the onRollOver function to stop until the onPress function begins.

edit2: Well I found out what was wrong. answered my own question. * Face-palm* sorry for this waste of space. (if you come across this randomly, my solution is answered at the bottom)Edit: While mulling over my code trying to find a solution, I noticed that when my .swf freezes as it is tweening out, an animated movie clip that is on the stage also freezes mid-animation. which brings me to believe that my problems may stem from the loading/creating image portion of my code. as a result, here is my loading function to supplement the code below:
function loadImage():void {
//if it's not already been loaded)
if ((currentImageNbr+1) > imagesLoaded || images.length == 0) {

I have a simple width and height I am pulling from an xml file, when I trace it out, it shows correctly, but when I tween the width and height it doesn't quite stop at the correct widths and heights. The width and heights from the xml are 800 and 600.
Code:
new Tween(c, "_width",btnEase, c._width,w, 1, true);
new Tween(c, "_height",btnEase, c._height,h, 1, true);
When the tweens stop, the widths and heights are off by anywhere from 5 - 10 pixels.

I'm trying to do a little augmented reality. I'm using an action script to call a video and play it. The problem that I'm having is that the sound is starting the moment the window is open and the video plays with the marker is shown. I want the sound and video to only play when the marker is seen. I would like it to pause when the marker is removed and then resume where it left off when the marker is seen again. Here is a copy of my code if someone could look it over and tell me what I'm doing wrong. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just correct my mistake. I don't understand enough about coding for you to just say Netstream.pause() and netstream.resume. I don't know where to put that information in.
package { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.events.Event; import flash.display.BitmapData; import flash.display.Loader; import flash.net.URLRequest; import flash.media.Video; import flash.net.NetConnection; import flash.net.NetStream;

I have multiple movie clips on 4 labeled frames of my movie. The keyframes are as follows : People, Place, Portfolio, Possibilities
The buttons to go to each of these keyframes work, although because I have a movie (different for each keyframe) I cannot get the previous movie's audio to stop when I click to another keyframe.
Also, I cannot get the other movie to work once I am on the next page.
The movieclips are named- Btn2 -which is the movieclip that plays once clicked on the homepage. Btn3- which is the movieclip that is supposed to play once clicked (on the people page).
To see what I'm talking about- visit: [URL]
give it some time to load- then click the doorbell- let the movie play for a little bit then click on people...the door closes, but the sound continues.
Here's the actionscript.

stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

I am having a problem looping a group of tweens. What happens is, a sprite is tweened on the y axis from 490 to 240, there is a Timer delay of 3 seconds then a second tween is activated taking the sprite from 240 to -20. The problem I am having is when it gets to -20, I want it to start the whole tween process again. I have tried using the yoyo() function but this does not work.
Code:
var creditsTextTween:Tween=new Tween(CreditsContainer,"y",None.easeIn,490,240,5,true);
creditsTextTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, stopFor3Seconds);

I've got a few questions about background music. Such as...
- How do you get music to loop in the background of a stopped frame (or multiple stopped frames)?
- How do you get the looping background music playing in a stopped frame to stop when a certain button is clicked?
- and How do you get music to stop playing in regular, non-stopped frames when a certain button is clicked (although it's probably the same as the above question...)?
