ActionScript 3.0 :: Tween MovieClip To Clear Visibility?
Feb 7, 2010
How could I get a bunch of randomly created (AND LOCATED) MovieClips to move away from the mouse coordinates when I click. In a shockwave pattern. From the center to the outside. Clearing a minimum radius of 50 pixels from the mouse click position.
I have no codes to show because I have NO idea how to calculate the movement. So that's my problem. I can get the mouse coordinates when I click, even calculate the radius that needs to be cleared, and detect any MovieClips inside it. But I don't know how to calculate where they would move to start the motion.
I have created a timeline with visibility button against each column. The timeline.swf is loaded into two empty movieclips to create a two-screen operation. Everything works fine except, I cannot for the life of me get the visibility button on the first swf to affect the visibility for the column on the second swf.
I have recently started using AS3 and can't seem to get to grips with some basic syntax for parent/root navigation. My problem is, I have an intro movieclip on the stage that plays first, when that is done i want some code on the last frame that navigates to another movieclip on the main stage to set its visibility to true. i have tried mMovieclip(root).mOther.visible = true; and a lot of other variations. Do i need to set them up as children? or something else.
I've got some quick code here. Basically, i'm trying to control the visibility of a single movie clip at the click of one button. One Click makes it disappear, the other brings it back again. Nothing i've tried seems to work.
I have a series of movie clips that are named image1, image2, image3, etc. And I need to modify their visibility with a loop (make them all visible=false), but I just can't seem to get it right...
When I have a movie clip on stage and assign the peoperty like:mv_mc._visible = true /falset either shows or hide the movie clip. What I have on the stage is just a Graphical Element and Visibility is just an property.
Just new to As3. I can't set visibility of movieclip inside another movieClip ActionScript Code: player.vidImage.visible = true; trace(player.vidImage); // shows - [object SimpleButton] tracing player.vidImage show [object SimpleButton]. But can't set visibility true. VidImage is physically placed inside player MovieClip.
this concerns flash cs5 and the timeline.Everybody knows the effect you get when you use appendText() to add text to a multiline dynamic textfield, right ? Well, I have a movieClip as a container, and I would like dynamic textfields to populate this movieclip in the same manner as textStrings would populate the dynamic Textfield.
How would this work?I have buttons that trigger addChild() function so as to populate the movieclip with textfields, but how do I make sure that the textfields make up an arbitrary list as a menu user chooses which buttons to click? Let's say this is the visible text when the swf runs.(I cut away some of the code to make this more to the point):
var buttonTrace:TextField=new TextField; addChild(TextClip.buttonTrace); buttonTrace.x=0; buttonTrace.y=0; buttonTrace.text="Breadcrumbs";
Now for each time I click a button in the menu I've made, a new textfield appears with the name of the button. This is how I want it. BUT......... How do I control the display properties and positioning of dynamic textfields within a movieclip ? How do I control persistent visibility, and how do I make these textfields appear one after the other in the order they were clicked.
my movieclip button was working perfectly as a motion tween. Can you use shape tweens as movie clip buttons? I just made that change, and kept my code:
I am working on to slide a movieclip across the stage.The movie clip is five times the width of the stage and I am using the Tween Class to move it across the stage when a button is pressed.The interaction I want is that when the button is pressed the movie clip moves a certain amount.If the button is pressed again it moves further.The script I have come up with though is taking the movieclip back to the original position of the movieclip and then moving it as opposed to moving it from the position it reached after the first button click.I have tried a few things but nothing is working.The script I am using at present is:[code]
I'm working on a game whose background has many layers that each scroll at different speeds.
Inside each layer I have a Sprite, I've started using graphics.beginBitmapFill, but what I've found is that the graphics.clear() function doesn't actually clear the contents set by the previous call to graphics.begin.BitmapFill. Each frame, I adjust the matrix to shift the layer as needed. Then, I call graphics.clear() and graphics.beginBitmapFill() with the adjusted matrix. Since my layers have alphas in the bitmap, I can see the contents that was drawn the previous frame.
i'm making my own combo box based on an array that can change based on a user input variable.i need to find a way to update the dynamically attached mc's based on when that array changes. that or to use a button (as i'm currently using to trigger it) to clear out the clips i'm attaching and attach a new number of clips for the updated(new) array.[code]i should clarify that it's working, but i need the attached clips to reset each time the function occurs because sometimes there'll be less clips attached if the array length is less and right now if the array length is twelve and then it gets changed to 6, there are still 12 clips attached!
I have a movieclip with my video player controls (play, stop, mute, etc). It is 480 pixels by 22 pixels. My video screen is behind it, which is 480x270. The video player controls are bottom-aligned.
I have some actionscript which makes the controls fade in and fade out, according to mouseover.
My problem is the video player controls movieclip is only 22 pixels tall.. so for anyone to see them (remember it requires a mouse over for them to appear), they have to put their mouse right on top of the controls. I want to make it so the video controls movieclip is not 22px tall, but really 270px tall.
So I need something to "hold it up" like a tent... to force it to be 480x270, clear background, with my 480x22 controls at the bottom.
As the title implies, I'm trying to use ActionScript 3 to tween from one movieclip to another based on an external event.I'm currently using two "Tween" objects to adjust alpha values. The first tweens-out the previous movieclip, and the second tweens-in the current movieclip. Code follows, with headers included for completeness:
URL...Once you get to my portfolio menu homepage, click on Print design. Everything there loads fine.The trouble is going back to the portfolio movieclip and having it display those menu buttons again.As you can see, if you try to click the view portfolio button at the top, it loads that movieclip to wherever you left off at.Basically, my question is: How can I have my "view portfolio" button reload/refresh the movieclip (page1) from the beginning in my pagecontainer_mc?
-page1 is a movieclip that shows my portfolio buttons.
-page2 is a movieclip that show the "about me" section.
-pagecontainer_mc is an empty movieclip that loads page1 or page2.[code]
When using AS2 a mc when moved via AS would slide to the new position. I have some AS3 code, which when the left or right buttons are pressed moves the mc to a new position, but it just jumps to the new position instead of sliding.How would I alter the code so that it slides to the new position instead of jumping? I've searched everywhere and tried to add tweenLite but I really am stuck
Here's the code I'm using -
illleftButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , leftbuttonill); function leftbuttonill(event:MouseEvent):void{ if (MovieClip(root).mainContainer.illustration.x < -40){
Using AS3, how do I create an alpha tween from one movie clip to another?
My thinking is that I can't use the timeline, because the fade is variable and event driven; e.g., the user clicks on one of many pics, and the stage alpha tweens from the current to the clicked.
I am hoping to tween a movieclip from the outside of the stage to the centre. I have been trying but am unable to get it to stop in the centre. Attached are my files that I have been working with.
I'm looking for a piece of Actionscript 3 code which let's me adjust the speed of a movieclip.The command would tell a movieclip to play at a certain framerate (60 FPS, 30FPS, etc.)The movieclip involves a simple tween so I'm not sure if I should use a different method of tweening (only tween via AS3 code) or use a seperate AS3 script which let's me modify the framerate of the movieclip when it's played.
did anyone encounter this problem: i've extend a movieclip class, then i've created an instance and tween it. the movement was really jerky, compared to a similar movieclip loaded from the library.
i put my MovieClip on frame 1 than i put it on frame 60 and made motion tween between them. that works until i decided to positioning MovieClip at frame 1 with actionscript, i write this at frame one.
i'm new to these forums and relatively new to AS3 so bare with me basically i have designed a 360degree flash applications using a movieclip that pans a panoramic photo when the mouse moves left or right. I am now having trouble fixing buttons onto the correct place in the scrolling 360 clip because i can't fix the buttons to a specific point (x + y) on the image itself.
I'm creating a horizontal scrolling gallery in which the content is loaded through xml. So far the xml loads fine and the content is easily nested within movieclips and positioned within a larger movieclip containing each of the movieclips containing the content. With that said, I am able to move this main movieclip left and right with no problem using a tween and a fixed position but I have no way of stopping the movieclip according to how much content is in the xml file. I'm attempting to use the length of the xml file to move this main movieclip but either it can't be done or my coding is wrong.[code]...
