Anyone have a ticker animation class for AS3?
AKA as horizontal text scrolling (automatic, not with scrollbars).
I'm new to ActionScript 3.0 and I am trying to work my way around Object Orientated Programming.I've designed an application where there are 3 buttons on the stage and a logo. What I want to happen is when a button is clicked, the logo will fade out. Now I understand I need to manipulate the alpha properties of the logo but not sure how I would run the code once the button is clicked. I have my Main.as file loading the properties of the application. So once the FLA file runs, Main.as sets up the buttons and the logo. Now the buttons are put into a display holder and run from menuHolder.as which in turn gets the design of the buttons from button.as - so far with me?
To keep my code clean I have seperated my code into their own files (the design of the buttons into its own .as file, the arrangement of the menu buttons into its own .as file, the logo creation into its own .as file) so that the Main.as file just acts as a loader for placing everything into location on the stage.So my question is that I want to create an animation for the logo (a fade out animation) where the code would be stored in say animationFade.as for example. Then when a button is clicked, the animation plays and the corresponding page is navigated to.[code]
I've created an horizontal sliding stock ticker that uses a xml feeder provided from another site.The ticker is now working fine if preview it doing ctrl + enter or if I see the swf with the flash player. The Problem comes when I want to preview it with F12 the browser shows me a warning that says something like this (the original text is in spanish)"adobe flash player has stopped this opration bc it may be not secure ...."I also can not see the swf file when online Here it is the code I'm using

I created a News Ticker in Flash CS3 from a tutorial on your site URL...But it just flashes "undefined" I know I must be messing something up with the location of the XML file or where it's defined in the action script. I don't think I understand the "cache" part of the tutorial or why the file can't be local? I have gone to the suggested links in the tutorial, and being a total novice, I must be missing some main point.

View 3 Replies1. insert date values and then run a contdown ticker
2. next time user opens swf the value of the ticker should have been adjusted to the date values user inserted first time.
3. New input values should be remembered and old values ignored.

View 3 RepliesI have a web page generated with PHP which has a lot of divs with rollover effects. It represents a table with more than 200 cells, but is made of divs instead of a table because I've read they are more efficient (specially in IE8 which has turn out my nightmare in this project!) In the same page I want to put a ticker for user messages with horizontal text scrolling. I have tried to implement the ticker in different ways: pure Javascript or with jquery pluggins: [URL] Well, the thing is that the ticker works great when the page loads, but as soon as the user starts to move the cursor over the table (rollover effects are triggered) the ticker becomes very jerky in IE8 (Firefox works almost perfect)
After a lot of work tunning my PHP/HTML code I gave up and decided to embed a flash object for the ticker in order to relieve the browser part of the scripting and delegate it to flash. My surprise was that it had the same defect. I am not an expert in how the browser deals with flash objects but I really though it would be a solution. I've found a example which illustrate the problem. [URL] This a page with a commercial flash object. It's really much more than what I need, but if you try (with IE8) to move the cursor around the right section of the page, over the elements with rollover effects, you'll notice that the ticker becomes less smooth. Imagine that within a page with 200 divs!

I am action script handicapped so bare with me. I know very basic action script functions like go to frame stop, play ect So complicated flash code does not really work for me unless it is explain easy and clear step by step. I know the animation portion of flash which helps me get by. I need to know how to pause a scrolling text as simple as possible when I click mouse over it.
I created a button (which is really displayed as text so that I can link to a website url) (SEE IMAGE)
The text is animated from frame 1 off screen to frame 400 top off canvas off screen. I did this the animation way instead of the coding way. So it should scroll from bottom to top (which I animated with frames), link to a new site (which I figured out), and pause on mouse over and play on mouse off.
I have to build a ticker the shows the FTSE 100 uk like the one built here: http:[url]......but without the huge map above.I know the file is nothing more than a news ticker, but I don't have idea where to take the data from. Also it needs to automatically update itself every 2/3 minutes.
View 0 Replieshow to create a simple horizontal news ticker [URL].
View 14 RepliesAnyone know of a good news ticker component? (Or a straightforward way of coding one in AS3?) We need to incorporate a horizontal ticker at the bottom of a site. It doesn't need to feed RSS. It'll just be populated with little factoids the client will provide. I initially purchased and integrated this one[url]...
Worked pretty well. Unfortunately, the developer who is building out the site just informed us that we need one that works in a .net environment and this component parses the XML through PHP. I'm a noob at all this so I don't even know exactly what I'm talking about!
I have created some functions to manage timed pause/play in an animation and I am trying to make a class from them, but it does not work, the play() and stop() functions I use have no effect. The functions work as intended when not in the class.
Here is my code:
package anim {
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
[Code]...
I checked that the functions are executed with the trace() and it is the case, so the problem really comes from the play() and stop() functions, and I do not receive any error at compilation or runtime.
I am trying to accomplish the following:
In my Library, I would like to have a symbol that I can drag to the stage, and when I compile my flash movie and click on the symbol it plays a certain animation. I would prefer for the animation to be defined in the class rather than sit on the timeline.
I have tried various approaches to this and I keep hitting walls, so instead of running down more blind alleys I figured I'd just ask the question... what is the best approach in flash to accomplish this?
Is there a way (using the AS 3 Tween Class, NOT TweenMax) to speed up a timeline animation?
View 2 RepliesI'm doing my company website. When a mouse event sends you to my services page I have 4 seperate blocks of text that fade in. So far I have the first 2 texts blocks fading in at the same time. I want to stagger the timing so the second block of text starts its fade in a fraction of a second later, and so on with the remaining text blocks. Below is the code I've used to fade them in at the same time. Is there an easy way to adjust this code to achieve the desired effect.[code]....
View 0 RepliesI have created a simple tween letter animation in AS2. There are two letters (a and b) on the stage that I have to animate and display one by one. Now both are displayed at a time. x and y position of each letter also has been set. Can I set time delay between first and second letter? I have attached my fla. file.

I've been following the "Using the Tween Class Part II". I even looked at the "Applying and Animating Filter Effects". Both of them don't offer much insights to animating a filter effect without the use of rollovers.What I'm hoping to achieve is that the glow filter animates after the object it's attached to finishes its animation.So far, I've got the glow effect to show up. However, I can't get it to animate after the object's motion has finished. The following is how I have the codes set up:
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

Reactivating a class - I've coded myself into a corner and there are sharks there! I took a look around but haven't seen anything about this for AS3, I've built a class that does all the regular for my standard button animation, nothing too complicated to a point. But I'm sort of in a corner as far as reactivating the button after I turn it off. I would think that I could reactivate it on click of another button, but since this is all stated in a class. How to reactivate all but the "this."
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip
import flash.events.MouseEvent
public class ButtonClass extends MovieClip {
public function ButtonClass() {

There is a pretty good class created by senocular, is called "Path"; basically it allow you to create paths and also create animations using those (like when you use the old good guides on flash).
To create an animation you just ask for a position using a number between 0 and 1. So just using some setInterval is easy to create the animation using a dinamically created path as a guide. The Problem is: How it creates the animation in curves; because is not doing it like flash does it; it basically does something like this

Im trying to make an ad that has a national debt moving up. You have seen them right, 11 trillion and counting. Im trying to do something similar, it would be great to import a flash ticker, but the prob is that they usually have a link to their site, and that is something I don't want. Another way is just to mimic the ticker, but is there a .fla or actionscript, with that I can start a dynamic number at 11 trillion, and just have it count UP?

I've been trying to figure this out myself for 2 weeks and just can't get it. I have done this the non-actionscript way by making each movieclip move across stage with motion tweening, but I know it would be much more efficient and easier to modify if it was all actionscript.(To see example, look at bottom of my company's Web pagehave cobbled some code and think I know how to create the MCs and animate them across the screen: (note eventually this will include 50 logos, but to figure this out I'm starting with just three--logo1, logo2, logo3)
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);
container._x = 550;
container._y = 150;
