ActionScript 3.0 :: Apply Separate Actions To Separate Keyframes?
Aug 19, 2009
If I create a new flash AS3 file and create two blank keyframes in my actions layer I can add actions to each keyframe separately no problem. I can then easily switch between the actions frames from the menu bar on the left of the actions input panel. However if I try and do this on any of my projects i've been working on for a while when I create a new blank keyframe in the actions layer and try to add actions to it, I get sent straight back to my first actions keyframe and not a nice blank page. Can I even apply seperate actions to seperate keyframes?
What I need to do is assign 5 separate dynamic text fields to 5 seperate buttons and at the same time to those same five buttons i would like to add 5 images that i would be able to change merely by swapping out the images in the file theyre in on the server.I would also like to get a nice transition between the images...ALSO i want to dynamically load the images for the buttons that will be used for switching from picture to picture(which im thinking i will be able to do after i know the how to do point the aforementioned things.)
Through tutorials I've found around the net I've been able to get most of the parts together... but i get lost because what they show you for AS2 they don't for AS3 and vice versa, at least that ive seen.so... I guess my question is... would i need to set up 5 seperate dynamic text fields on the stage and then set each one of them to one of the corresponding button. If so what AS code would i need to use to do so. And if not what would i need to do?
The other part of the question would be I know about the UILoader... would i be able to use it as my buttons and images, if so would i need 5 seperate ui loaders for both the Thumbnail buttons and the images or is there a way that would be better to do it? and once i do that would i do the transitions using frames and tweens like with AS2?
I have 4 buttons on the stage and each button is correlated to a seperate movieclip.
btn1 - mc1 btn2 - mc2 btn3 - mc3 btn4 - mc4
I want each mc to appear when it's corresponding btn is clicked but it has to be the only mc on the stage...meaning whatever mc was currently has to disappear. I've toyed with numerous was to get this to work but I know there's a more code efficient way to do this than the code I have below. And I don't want to use any timeline.
I am trying to find a way to have separate actions activated for differently named Cue Points, that have been baked into an FLV.My FLVPlayback Component is named "topic5_2_flv" and currently, with a single action for all Cue Points, my code looks like this:[code]But now I need to have two separate actions to happen depending on the name of the Cue Point.If the Cue Point named "CueSlide" is reached, the following should occur:[code]If the Cue Point named "CueBullet" is reached, the following should occur:[code]I know how to work this in AS2, but have had no luck achieving this in AS3.
This is NOT the same as my last thread as i am after three and NOT ONE as last time. In the attached movie there are three seperate movies loading into three seperate tweens. Please note that i am happy with this movie as it is, and do not want to change anything about it except for the script itself. It refurs to three seperate clips "b.a","d.c" and "f.e". What i want is for the script to incorperate all three clips under one name of "mc" And instead of have three seperate widths, "width 1","width2" and "width3" i want the script to also incorperate all three widths and heights into just one name of "width" and one name of "height".
how to add seperate actions to a button group that is duplicated to create 2 buttons from one...this is the code which takes the movie to another frame - i have to load one of two movies depending on which button is clicked, but either button only goes to the same frame...:
I wonder if a keyframe on an actions layer that has an action in it will work like a keyframe on other layers, meaning it will make all actions on the previous action frame inactive and only the actions on its corresponding action sheet available.If that is the case, is it possible to have at least two action layers to separate global and local actions?
Would it be possible to take a mc that is inside a mc like say _root.mc1.mc2 would i be able to make say a button so that in the swf when i hit that button mc2 is brought to _root and if i hit another button with _root.mc2 it would respond.
I must be doing something wrong it is not working. In my map1.as I have
Code: public class Map1 extends Object3D{ //load skins for planets [embed(source="sunmap.jpg")] private var sunskin:BitmapFileMaterial; private var sun:Sphere; [Code] .....
I am using Away3D engine. I get no errors but I also just have a blank screen.
I am trying to do something pretty basic I think...I have attached a screenshot below of what the site looks like so far. What I want to do is always have the left hand side links showing on the site. I want to create a new .fla for projects and have that load on the window on the right when the projects link is clicked on. What I have done in the past is create the entire website within one .fla but that is getting too confusing. I assume some actionscript is required here which I am pretty useless with.
I have a menu and when I click I want to add a new swf on top calling from a seperate xml doc. it seems to be calling the airplanes.swf underneath the first MC.any ideas why? Is it because I am using xml to populate the swf.[code]
i already made my flash site but realized afterwards that swf file is way too big. i compressed the images in photoshop as jpgs (72 dpi) but the site still loads way too slow during the preloader. the only option that i can think of is to make the site a swf file and the work section as another swf file. how would go about creating a seperate swf from my work section (which is a movie clip)?
I was able to use LocalConnection to have 2 swfs communicating when both sitting in the same PC, or upload those on to the server and accessing those from the same PC. Is there any way to do this between two PCs, one PC running send.swf, controlling another PC running receive.swf? I checked adobe site for LocalConnection and it looks like this only works within one client PC.
I have 9 fla files. Is there anything I can do to create 1 swf out of 9 separate fla files??? I tried to cut and past the info all onto 1 timeline. Is there more than one way to do this?? I end up with multiple files with the same name in the library and it becomes a bit of a nightmare just trying to use the cut and past method.
I'm building a simple interactive video/animation in Flash. I have a sample from the company that I'm going follow and they use separate scenes for different sections of the video. I've read there are disadvantages to using Scenes but I haven't seen any advantages. In fact I haven't found much about Scenes at all. Most people seem to build their stuff in one scene, just labeling frames so they can jump to them to make scenes that way. I also have been looking up tutorials and I can't find anything about using the Scenes palette and how to connect the scenes together. Is there any reason I should use this Scenes palette and not do my whole video in one scene?
I need 20 separate timers, to be used with 10 separate objects, and need to be able to start, stop, and edit the delay time of each timer separately.
My question is; would having 23 timers going on simultaneously slow the program down, and is there a quick or easy way to mass-create and mass-edit timers (arrays? for/next loops? I'm pretty new to ActionScript...)
i have two seperate movie clips on two seperate layers on the front page of my template. (loaded dynamically) the layers are on top of one another.
the two movie clips work fine one their own on the template, but when i put them both on the template and I press their respective buttons the TOP movieclip's buttons control the BOTTOM movie clips actions. it's crazy. i've tried to move them around but then it's just the reversed - the bottom buttons control the top movieclip.
i have this set of script imbedded at the timeline, now the code is working very well...but i want to put it in a seperate actionscript file, i attemp to many times but failed..
So I'm making a game, i'm making a window class and want the children of that window to only be active within the window, in html I know you make a new frame, is there anything similar in as3? Or do I have to delete any mc that breaches the dimensions of the window?
i no i will use the bitMap draw function and push each 1 into a array in order. but im unsure on how to separate 1 image into seprate 1s. can any1 just give me a quick knolage burst. as soon as im told how to ill be fine coding it just getting my head araound the math(not my strongest subject, bad i no).
I'm now writing a simple socket application for my own learning purposes. It will be a really simple BlackJack application.I was thinking for ways to manage 52 different cards in my app. I could make those 52 cards, as 52 images and then, maybe load them into movieclips at runtime. Or, I could take one big image with all of the cards on it, and create a masked movieclip, and then, shift and slide the image's position, so that the correct graphic of the card shows.y question is: which way is faster? Will flash be better with handling 52 small images, lets say 20x40 (in reality, i will only load like 6 of them in the display list, since black jack almost never deals with huge amount of cards). Or would it be faster, if I had a big image with all the cards (~160x160 maybe) and just reused that with different masking, calculated on runtime?
I'm working with BitmapData.getColorBoundsRect and it works so far fine for me. But what if I want to find more rectangles with the same color? For example: I got a BitmapData with 3 red rectangles. If I use getColorBoundsRect I get the whole area including the 3 rectangles. Is there a way to separate each rectangle?
I'm trying to use 2 separate timers in a flash solution (CS4, AS3). The second timer won't fire. I need 2 constant events. one could drive the other
I'm displaying a different image every x seconds. I'm fading the old image out and then fading the new image in. Unfortunately, I've not been able to get these events to work in tandem. fade in and out times are both 2 secs & need to be sequential.
I've written a code so i can load several images onto my stage with a grid. I wanted it like this so it would be easy to change, add etc because the customer only have to change the xml image path or add and put the picture into the folder. Well this is my code:
Code: public function albumarts(){ myXMLLoader.load(new URLRequest("albumarts.xml"));
I need to load separate SWF files depending on different flash buttons being pressed. The problem is I see a flicker inbetween SWF's being played. I think the flicker is where it goes back one frame - but I do not know how to solve this.
The first bike should scroll along to the left then stop, buttons should then appear that allow you to load the external/separate SWF files.
