ActionScript 3.0 :: Why Tween Motions Only Works When Called In Another Frame
Oct 27, 2009
Im doing a project that works with lots of tweens im having always the same problem when i call Tweens to execute in the same frame..The Tween most of the times freez before this motion end.I fixed the tween for the background... but for that i had to put the tween in another frame and call that frame from my home Frame..Now im trying to do some Tweens with some buttons, but it most of the time freez before the motion ends.Should i forget to use Tweens in the same frames?

I am using System.security.allowDomain in both files.The tween in movie2 fails to work when the swf loads from an external domain. However, it works perfectly when this swf is loaded locally. Also strange is that the movie2 tween does work externally if the tween libraries are commented out of movie1.The Challenge: Get both the red and blue boxes to fall when movie2.swf is loaded from an external domain.[code]

I have a function ("advance_slideshow()") that ticks a slide show up by one, then it loops back at the end. It works when called from the key listener I set up for debugging. However it does not work when called from setInterval. I added a trace to the function to confirm that it was being called, which it is; it just doesn't work when called via the interval

I've written a simple preloader which I've put in its own movie clip. The code is as follows:
[code]...
The code works out a value between 0 and 1 called 'loadVal' this is used to animate a masking object a distance defined by a variable called 'yShift'. loadVal is rounded up to give a whole number that is displayed in a text field showing the percentage of the movie which has loaded.The preloader seems to be running and it will trigger the move to play when it completes but I can't see the preloader previewing in the Bandwidth Profiler, even when I set the data speed to be very slow. I've noticed this issue before and it is annoying as I need to see how the preloader looks and works.

I just tried everything to do embedFonts work correctly in CS5. In Flash CS4 there was no any problems with this. The TextField is created in AS3, I got new font called Sunset inside library and embedFonts set to true, but nothing works, there is no errors and the text is still invisible

I wrote the code for a tween function called fadeOut. As you can understand, its end is to fade out the alpha property of an instance.the code uses an addEventListener:chooseBlue_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fadeOut);so when the button named chooseBlue_btn is clicked the fadeOut is called:[code]But I would like to call fadeOut when the clip starts without using a button.In which way?

I've got a movieclip acting as a button. Code on the button itself handles roll-over/-out states, and I define an onRelease function in the main timeline as follows:
[Code]...
This code takes the movie back to the first frame and works on the third frame. For some reason, though, the same code on the fifth frame has no effect. The button doesn't do anything. I have tried using the same button, I tried inserting a new keyframe with a new button, renaming the button, etc. and for some reason I just can't get it to work on the fifth frame. If it helps to visualize, I am essentially making a menu. The first frame contains buttons to take you to submenus, located on following slides. This button to go back to the original menu is on each frame with a submenu, but for some reason only works on one of them.

I have a simple movie of a person - torso, arms, legs, each on a separate layer. I'm adding a walk cycle and use tweens to move the arms and legs. This works fine when I export to an swf. But when I group and try to export to a movieclip, the arms jump way up. This seems like a simple problem of adjusting coordinates, origins, etc. But I'm kind of a newbie, so does someone have a suggestion for me? How do I export to a movieclip and have it playback the same as when exporting to a swf?

I have a box ("bg_box") that I resize and move up and down using the tween class based on what button you select. Once it is resized the text ("textBox") for that box fades on. It works fine on all the other buttons except for one! I added in a scrollpane with a strip of photos ("gross_scroll") on the button that doesn't seem to want to work. It is just a basic _alpha tween so I am not sure why that would cause a problem.
The weirdest thing is that it only has an issue the first time the button is clicked. It skips the tween and just jumps right to the size and position it should be. Once you click on another button and click on the troublemaker again, it works just fine.
Here is my code:
Code:
easeType = mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut;
var box_start = bg_box._yscale;
var box_end = 100;

I have a few words written in static text mode which I have made a graphic symbol. On the timeline I have used both motion tween and classic tween to create a aplha change from 0% to 100%.I made sure I have enoough space on my timeline (10 frames).The aplha tween works fine in preview mode however when I export the swf the aplha tween is no longer working? I have tried breaking the text,restarting flash,restarting my computer and similar suggestions from other blogs such as:
I was able to solve this by checking the box "Use runtime bitmap caching" under Blend in the properties panel for the MovieClip in question.I am currently using Flash CS5 on a imac.

"How many motion tweens can you have on a timeline." Yup. The answer is one...... or is it? I had a long discussion with my tutor (who is the greatest tutor in the world) and he wanted to think about it. I said to him that I thought that one motion tween was wrong because you can click on an object in the timeline, make it a motion tween, and double click it and make several motion tweens. So, essentially, you can have more than one motion tween on a timeline.

I am doing a presentation demonstrating hardware components. For that I have used frame by frame animation for showing components. The explanation for these components are done as subtitle scrolling. It is created using actionscript 3 motion. The particular subtitle text will be generated according to the currentFrame. When I pause the entire movie i need to pause the scrolling text that i created using action script. I was searching for a week , how to do this. Is there event to identify whether main movie is stopped or paused. Or any other way to do this. The child movies and sound i added in time line should be paused while pausing the movie....

I am a first time flash-maker, and I sure how to get things to work as planned.I have written the following code:
stop();import flash.events.MouseEvent;Weightlifting_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, CursorClick);function CursorClick(event:MouseEvent):void{gotoAndStop("25");}
But my problem is that i have a motion tween that startes at frame 5 and ends at frame 25. And the code says that at will go to and stop at frame 25.what I really want it to do, is to go to frame 5, play the motion, and stop at frame 25.

I have an problem whereby I have created a Frame by Frame dancing human figure and now I want to move it across the screen as well as scale it using a Tween.
I have spent quite some time slightly adjusting the upper arms, forearms, hands, legs etc and creating a new keyframe for each movement. All the movements are all in one layer... ie the forearm doesn't have it's own layer etc. I am running the animation at 24fps so there is quite bit going on.
I now realise that I should have created a symbol/movie clip from the first image I created and then scaled and moved the image first before animating it's limbs but I only realized that after hours of work and I would hate to start all over again.
So basically what I have is a dancing human figure in the one spot moving it's arms and legs and I want it to move across the screen and become larger by scaling it using a Tween. I could of course re-edit each keyframe by slightly scaling and the slightly moving the figure but that will take quite some time to get right as there will be a fair bit of trial and error doing it that way.

I defined 2 different motions for an object in Flash, saved them as Presets and then copied each as Actionscript 3.0 and pasted them seperately into a code frame 2 on my timeline. I was thinking that with Actionscript I should be able to select between two motions given certain conditions. Here's what I got:
[Code]...
There was a flash motion already defined for the digitB1_mc. The trace statement fired showing this code was executed. But the default flash motion executed, not this one. I know that at previous times, I have fooled around and got similar code to work. But why not this? It's like it ignores this motion altogether. Note also: When I remove the default Flash motion and run the test, digitB1_mc does NOT move at all, again ignoring this code(which the trace stmt says is executing).

I've created a multi frame MC for placing each of my slide out images on and have added a tween slide out MC.my onrelease is working and I've correctly switched the image frame for the relevant picture being clicked before playing the tween MC.However once the MC stops playing the image MC is reverting back to showing frame one image.Why is this happening? Also why when the slide out MC is over the smaller clicklable image the hit area is still available through the image being shown?I've ensured that the slide out MC is on the top most layer, how do I make its backgroud solid so any clickable item underneath is not available.

In the old motion model it was as easy as highlighting all of the frames, converting them to keyframes then removing the tween. But I have no clue how to do it with the new motion model.

I am new at flash CS4. (Upgraded to Flash CS 5 but this gives other problems in the meantime I continue with CS4)I have created webpage. Within the web page I have created Motion Tween with Motion editor and once previewed, it works fine. Going back to the stage and previewing the result shows the initial position of the Motion tween but it doesn't move and behave the way it shoud. What's missing? Where am I going wrong?

Using Flash CS4 trial I am trying to make a banner on one time line.I have 6 photos on one time line with a right to left motion tween, and I would like it to repeat it without the white space of the stage appearing inbetween instances.I have tried it with two time lines also, but to no avail.Basically I would like it to repeat picture 1 again from the right side of the stage directly after picture 6 has left the left hand side of the stage without white space.
Also have problems selecting the bez curve, to drag a motion, so far I find if I create a key frame at the end of the timeline and click a couple of times on the mouse (not consistant) then hold the left mouse button down for a few seconds it some times turns the white circle green, then I can move it? but as I said not very consistant.

I have a button in "frame 1" that leads to "frame 2". The file has simple code:
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoFrame02);
function gotoFrame02(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
The problem is no transition when the frame changes. Is it possible to apply Tween transition when the frame changes?

I have created the rollover and rollout for this movie clip button but i want it to do 2 things after this i want it to go and stop on the first frame of a movieclip which has my content on it called portfoliogallery_mc (which is also the same instance name for it) when you then click the button i want it to go and play frame 11 of that movie clip portfolio gallery_mc. Here is my current actionscript i HAVE Flash 8 on my comp that i am currently using.

I have 2 frames in my movie, 2 buttons and a video. On the first frame there is code for button #1. On the second frame i have code for button #2 but I'd also like to appear on the first frame. The problem is that when I put the code for the second button on the first frame, the video won't play. so I can only have it on the second frame. I can't figure out why the code, which works when its on frame 2, then won't work on frame 1. When I put the code on frame 1 it breaks the functionality and the video won't play.

I'm trying to test a very simple function for an e-learning module that is to train people on using 'quick keys' or key combinations on their keyboard. Basically, I want to show them a command and have them practice. In the practice, they will be asked to use a command and then have to do it on their keyboard.I used the code below successfully with one frame and a couple layers. I created a text-area ("traceArea), put it on the stage, set up the event and function... it works great! (although I'm sure the code isn't very pretty) When anything other than ctrl-p is pressed, it traces the "Try again!" message and when ctrl-p is pressed, "Great job!" pops up.
stop();
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, detectKey);
function detectKey(event:KeyboardEvent):void

I want to load an external swf called 'signs.swf' into an empty mc called 'signholder'.
var loadit2 = new Loader();
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));
signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????
