I am trying to animate a few primitives that have been created dynamically with tweener. It works if the tweener method is inside the loop, but not when it is outside.
[Code]....
Just actionscript? [URL] i use tweener to animate blocks of text created dynamically but like that, on Browse effect database, take a look on Scatterbounce. just so cool! just actionscript???
View 2 RepliesI created a movie clip [code]...
How can I animate this (slide to x position), since there is nothing in timeline ?
I want to draw then animate a line using Tweener. The problem with my code is it does not just tween the width it tweens the dot I create in the x and y directions. giving me big blobs rather than long thin lines.

First let me say that I am just starting out in AS3 so this may be a simple problem that I am having due to my lack of experience. Goal: I have a mask over a mc that holds video being streamed in. This mask is set to show only a portion of the video and when the user mouses over the mask I want it to expand to show the whole movie. When the user mouses off the mask I want it to re-size back to its original size.Problem: The second time the mouse is over the mask, it does get tweened to the larger size, but you do NOT see the animation occur. It just blinks in.Code:I have included everything but my video class and grid class.For this I have turned off my grid. BTW this my FLA file includes this class. I have this feeding from an xml file, i removed that code. I also have 2 other movies that will function the same as movie1 but I have removed that code. Once I get movie1 working it should be fine for movies 2 and 3.
Code:
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
import flash.utils.Timer;
[code].....
If you look at my Flash file "Grid.fla" (again see attached files) you'll see a group of 14 images which are loaded from an XML file ("Grid.xml") and when the user rolls their mouse over an image it uses the Tweener library to animate the image into its full size.
The problem is I need the images to animate into the center of the screen - see an example of what I'm trying to achieve by opening the SWF file within the attached ZIP called "StormGallery.swf".
But I have no idea how to do add this type of animation into my "Grid.fla" file!
I have been animating with google tweener for a while now in as2, and I just got flash cs4. Does anyone know if google tweener can animate the z-axis for the 3d stuff? If not, how can 3d objects be animated dynamically?
View 14 RepliesI'm dynamically creating movieclips with dynamically created movieclips inside them and am having trouble with targeting them.Below is a simplified example of what I'm trying to achieve, in the real file there are a lot more movieclips and I'm creating and naming them with a for loop.
This one is just one Sprite created inside another sprite. I can target the top level sprite named "testname". However when i try target the nested MC it throws an error.The bottom couple of traces are just test MCs I've made to make sure i got the syntax right, on targeting nested movieclips.
PHP Code:
var holder:Sprite = new test1();holder.name = "testname";this.addChild(holder);var holder2:Sprite = new test2();holder2.name = "testname2";holder.addChild(holder2);trace(getChildByName("testname").x); //this one traces finetrace(getChildByName("testname").getChildByName("testname2").x);//this throws up an errortrace(testclip1.x);trace(testclip1.testclip2.x);
Essentially, I've got a MC container that's created dynamically based off an XML file (basically for every <title></title> I've got, it makes a new "card"). Now within the context of each <title></title> grouping I've got <imgs></imgs> in which I specify the path to images that are related.All of that works perfectly, save for the external jpg files actually appearing on the stage. The MC I add them to does, but the external image doesn't.My problem is- I can't add the external images until they're completely loaded (or so it appears). The thumbnail BG I use is blank. So I know for a fact that the thumbnail BG isn't occluding the loaded thumbnails.

View 1 RepliesI am working on a project where i have been given an FLA that has lots of images contained in movieclips that animate when you roll over them. These animations are all contained on the timeline of each separate movieclip, so the code was basically a lot of gotoAndPlay("2") statements and so on.
I have been given it to work on because the different movieclips need to go to a URL read in from an XML file when clicked on, and i have this part working no problem.
I also need to be able to read in image paths taken from the same XML file as the urls, and load these images into a movieclip holder within the movieclips on the main timeline. However the problem that i am having is once the images are loaded into img_holder which is placed inside a movieclip they will not animate on that movieclip's timeline.[code]...
I am generating movieClips dynamically using attachMovie and then using a setInterval to animate them. However, if I repeat the operation the second set of mcs move twice as fast, the third set three times as fast etc. I can't for the life of me work out why.

Types like Movieclip , String, Object act as references when declared and defined, while types like int, Number are primitives. Why such difference has been made. Why not all of them can be primitives ?
View 1 RepliesI have created a few flex primitives on screen via action script. Now based on business logic, I need to make changes to some of these primitives such as: changing thickness, direction of arrowhead etcOne thought was to assign id's to these primitives as they are built- how do I do that?e.g. I get a line built as below
var myShape:Shape=new Shape();
myShape.graphics.lineStyle(thickness,color);
myShape.graphics.moveTo(XFrom,YFrom);

Once you populate a Scene3D with primitives (say in a for loop), how do you clear all the primitives from the Scene3D?
View 3 RepliesAs primitives are copied as 'value' not by Reference, this doesnt work:
ActionScript Code:

var myPrimitive2:int = myPrimitive1;
myPrimitive2 = 20; // i want this to affect myPrimitive1 too
My goal is to pick a random property on a data Object() and alter that. My approach was to put all the Objects properties into an array, and then randomise that array, and pick the first element. The only problem is of course that, that element is no longer a Reference to the original, so If I change that it wont alter the original...
ActionScript Code:
// Create Data Object
var myObject:Object = new Object();
myObject.primitiveVar1 = "string1";

I was in an AS3 course last year and the instructor mentioned that the Oval Options of an Oval Primitive -- start angle, end angle, inner radius -- could be animated in AS3.Does anyone know if this is true, and if so, what are the Classes involved? I've been through everything I know and I can't find a reference to it.

I'm creating receives xml from the asp server its on.Because of this, there isn't an xml file that I can open and add to in the places I need carriage returns.To compensate for this, I've been using the split and join method.[code]Essentially I'm looking for certain nodes in the xml and adding a carriage return to the beginning of it.I had to add the extra quotes around the otherwise it doesn't work.The problem with this is, the carriage return works but it leaves the single quotes in the text.I tried adding another split join method that looks for the single quotes left and replaces them with nothing.The problem with this is, it deletes all the single quotes from the contractions.
View 4 Repliesnow a customer wants me to make a Flash intro in her (ASP MVC) site. The scenario is this: images are stored in the dbms. Every image belongs to a category.
