Basically I would like to tween a retangular 2D image on the stage, but also make it look like it is wrapping round on itself.A visual example of the effect I mean is here: [URL]Imagine the above is a rectangular shape being tweened from Right to Left, but when it reaches the left it wraps round as in the picture.Is this possible with Flash CS4 & AS3 or does it require some special add-on?
View 0 RepliesI've been trying to find a solution through books and online about how on earth to highlight just the in-between and edge areas of the object tweens, and either delete a certain amount of them like you can with classic tween, or be able to grab those little diamonds and move them along the timeline.
Of course this may be a stupid question since the new tween is all about the OBJECT, and the motion line that it creates on the stage with the "ticks" that are keyframes, may be what needs to be manipulated like the object itself instead of the timeline. I'm not sure.
At One point I had a whole lot of extra frames hanging off the edge of my one motion tween--(after I copied & pasted frames) --I highlighted them to remove any portion of it, but it removed all the rest of my keyframes as well.
The following Actionscript loads an XML file. Using the XML file, it loads an image - fades in the image - pans the image - and then fades out. I have then attempted to make a loop which loads the next image from the XML file and perform the same series of tweens. It would then load the next image, infinite loop. It appears that instead of loading each image one at a time, it is overlapping the mask with all images in the XML file. I then only see the last image in the XML file being tweened on the stage/mask. I do not believe that I can use a Timer to time the loading of each image. This is because the width of each image will be different so the duration of the pan from one loaded image to the next will be different. I believe that I need to use onMotionFinish in some manner after the image Fades Out in order to move to load the next image - but I can't seem to identify how to integrate that within the loop. Most likely my loop is not written correctly. [code]...

View 5 RepliesI have an image that doesn't fill the <mx:Image> tag because it's not the exact dimensions (it is too short) and I have maintainAspectRatio set to true:
<mx:Image id="theImage"
source="{data.photo_thumb}"
horizontalCenter="0"[code]....
The <mx:Image> tag has a fixed width and height (it's 100% of the tile size--this is in an ItemRenderer). How do I get the image to sit on the bottom of the <mx:Image> tag?
I have an flv file which I am playing through an flv playback component. The flv has a width of 320 pixels, however I wish to dynamically control the width of this flv, therefore I have placed it in a movieclip, and set the width to an arbitrary figure (400 in the example below). All of this works fine.
If I then decide to add a function to spin the Movie clip round 360Deg on the Y access, by the time my Movie Clip has done a full circle it is smaller than it was (now 361 pixels).
If I keep the Movie Clip at the same width as the original flv, there is no problem, and if I reduce the width before the spin, then post spin the Movie Clips width is wider.
Code:
import fl.video.*;
var vid:FLVPlayback;
vid = new FLVPlayback();
vid.source = "Media/Some.flv";
[Code]......
I made a movie clip with infinite loop in which there are images that move from right to left something simple like a marquee, and each image has a blank space between them, but between last and first image there is a more space, how I can do to make all images have an equal space between each one and that the motion never stops.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to get used to the new way of doing things in CS4. Once I've created a MC and rotated it in 3D, how can I move it across the screen w/o rotating it further? I have a MC that rotates over several frames, and once it reaches the last one, I want it to stop rotating, then begin to slide in an X direction (while reducing the alpha). But no matter which tool I use or what I do on the timeline, the object is stuck in place and will only rotate and not move. Even the 2D X and Y settings in the properties panel are grayed out.

I have a flash object embedded inside a div, and for some reason it has like 10pixels space under it. Here is my code

I have an image that I want to rotate in 3D space when you move the mouse. This seems easy enough, and I have it mostly working. The problem is, it seems like Flash's 3D camera isn't oriented towards the image. The image is inside a MovieClip so that the center of the image is at 0,0 in the MovieClip, and the MovieClip is located at stageWidth/2,stageHeight/2 -- so it's in the centre of the stage. But if you move the image backwards in z-space, the image doesn't look like it's scaling down, which is what you'd expect -- since it's moving away from the camera -- but instead, it moves up and to the left as it moves backwards.
This is my code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
[Code]....
Does anyone know why the camera isn't oriented towards stageWidth/2,stageHeight/2? How do I make the image move directly away from the camera in z-space? Or am I just stupid for not giving up and trying to learn PaperVision?

Basically, I am inserting a flash animation into text with object, param, embed tags.However there is an unwated gap above and bellow the flash animation (about 40px I guess).I have resetted both margin and padding for object, param and embed tags. The gap is still there. How can I solve this?
NOTE: I know I could use width and height attributes with object tag but the users who will be inserting flash animations into HTML won't know their dimensions so they won't be able to insert these parameters.
I have a row of images that are loaded in next to each other in one long row. When the images have been loaded in, a saturation filter is applied to them. When this saturation filter is applied, a gap appears between some of the images? (the background is yellow, so a yellow gap appears).
View 5 RepliesI am designing an image gallery to show project screenshots for a portfolio. The horizontally scrolling screenshots technique is nice, but I want to do something similar in 3D space.
When the user clicks on the screenshot buttons for the selected project, I want the appropriate image to rotate around an imaginary center, increase in scale, and fade in to full opacity.
At the same time, the other images need to rotate around the same center point and scale down while the alpha decreases. The Screenshot furthest away from the viewer would have the smallest size and lowest alpha setting. Here's a couple things that might throw a wrench into the works. I need to keep all the images facing forward (instead of rotating as if they were on a cyllinder). Also, not all of my projects have the same number of screenshots. Can I do all this with actionscript?

Viewing it in either Gecko, Webkit or Presto, an unintentional vertical space occurs after the object, before the second div [URL]. Removing whitespace from between tags, or explicitly setting margin and padding does not help.

View 8 RepliesI am trying to do a apply a tween for the width property on a MovieClip Object but every time it changes the width and the position too, and I don't want that. I want to change the width going to one side without changing the x and y of the object.
I tried both of thes and they gave the same result.
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "scaleX", Strong.easeOut, 1, 1.5,20,true);
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "width", Strong.easeOut, 20, 200,20,true);
I think it is applying the transformation according to a center of the movie clip. but I don't know how it can be changed.
This might be a dumb question. I think I already know the answer, just clarify. If you declare a object in varible1 and then pass the value into varible2. If you decide to null varible2 would that kill just the reference or the object itself as well. I want to say no, but then again, everything you do to the reference it self, also affects the space in memory.these are the 2 varibles in my class.
private var objects:Array;
private var viewableObjects:Array;
above are class varibles. Later on in my code I add an object to the objects arrayobjects[0][4] = new Enemy1();When i trace i get the following[object Enemy1]I then add it to viewable objects arrayviewableObjects.push(objects[0])

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to dynamically addChild a Sprite to an already tweened MovieClip (tweened on the Flash timeline).
Let's say ObjectA is the tweened object, I published it in my swc and linked it to my Actionscript project in Flash Builder. I make an instance of ObjectA in my class, and then try to do the following:
var objectA:ObjectA = new ObjectA();
var objectB:ObjectB = new ObjectB();
objectA.addChild(objectB);
addChild(objectA);
Now, the problem is, objectB doesn't tween along with objectA. Is there any logical solution to this?
Is there a way to return the target of a Tween object from within the object?
Code:
myTween.onMotionFinished = function (){
trace (this.target)
}
That's obviously not the way you do it, but that's what I want it to be...
when I create a new Tween/Graphic symbol it turns into an old tween I already used (Ex: Two tweens, when trying to use the second one it reverts back to the first one). Both of them are on the same layer called "Text", also it seems to be fixed when I put the second tween on a new layer. But if I do this I will have at least a good 50 layers of text :S.

Trying to use a tween in a loop and apply it to each dynamically created movieclip, not as a block after the fact. here is the sample code:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.display.*;

The actionscript code works fine, except for the tween, which is applied on all the sample rectangles at once. I want to fade in the rectangles (or any other dynamically created movieclips in loops) one at a time.
I have a loop in the flash file. it gives me a number of X & Y as the to & from coordinates and places a movieclip on the stage. I then have the tween class moving each clip as it is placed. the example is below:
[Code]...
I have created 4 movieclips and named (instance) them box1, box2, box3, box4 and shuffled them with the following code:
var vector_name:Array = new Array("box1", "box2", "box3", "box4");
function shuffle(a,b):Number {
var num : Number = Math.round(Math.random()*2)-1;
return num;
} var shuffled_vector:Array = vector_name.sort(shuffle);
trace(shuffled_vector);
