I'm trying to automatically set up a rotating animation via the Timer Event. There's a Movie Clip called main_mc that's X position is changed with a Tween. Can the Timer Event run multiple events or is it only 1 per Timer?
Code:
var auotT:Timer = new Timer(5000);
autoT.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onAuto);
autoT.start();
[code]...
Or do I have to create a timer event for each part?
I am trying to set up an animation that would run after a timer is set. Every part of the rabbit would move so would I have to make each a movieclip or can I do it with just one timeline per part. As I have it now it is a MC with an timeline animation.

The app I want to build is an interactive map for a site I'm designing. In a nut shell, students looking to enter an exchange program should be able to use the map-image (as in, an actual 'map of the world') to preview possible destinations (I've attached an image of the two basic states to clarify).
After an introductory animation, I want a mouse-over to trigger a function that populates the map-image with a series of buttons. I need the buttons to be distributed according to information in an XML file (ie. x/y coords, some information text, and an animation to load upon being clicked). I want each button to call a mouse-over function that loads info data from an XML field and place it in a dynamic text field at the top. Then, I want each button, when clicked, to call a function that animates replacing the map-image with an image of the corresponding travel destination. Finally, I want a button on each image that will clear that image from the stage and call the function that populates the map so the process can start again.
I'm working out of a couple of books on AS3, but I'm a little hazy on how I ought to be constructing this thing. So here's the first place I've run aground: After the intro animation, I want the user to mouse-over the stage and have a second animation play (clearing away the introductory text), and I want the conclusion of the clearing animation to immediately call the map-populate function; but I don't want a mouse-over to have any effect until the introductory animation is finished. Is there an event dispatched automatically at the end of an animation? What is the event listener class?
I'm not sure if I should be storing each of these animations in an independent .fla file or if I should create them on all one timeline and have the program redirect to specific frames.
I use 2 options when i comes to animationg objects with Action Script
1. Timer based animation
PHP Code:
initTimer = new Timer(1000/fps);
initTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, moveItem);
[code]....
2. ENTER_FRAME event based animation
PHP Code:
var time:int = getTimer();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveItem);
function moveItem(event:Event){
[code]....
Both of this options work ideal for my needs and they produce smooth animation. My question is witch one is better and why? And is there more ways to animate objects with action script?
Given up on the other thread, others tell me its gonna be quite a bit of hassle!What I want to do is as follows; I want a vinyl record on the stage to begin slowly rotating, until it hits full speed, on a mouse click. All automatic.I imagine this will involve adding a speed number to a basic rotation script. When it hits a certain speed, I want an event to be triggered.
View 8 RepliesI am working on a very simple game in Flash. I want to make all the animations framerate agnostic, so that I can change the framerate without affecting the flow and speed of the game.I read somewhere that if you want to do that, you simply create a Timer object and attach an event listener to this timer.
What if I have many objects that have to listen to the same timer? See the code to understand what I am trying to do. At this stage nothing breaks, but the event does not fire.Here is the Main class, the one that runs on swf execution:
public class Main extends MovieClip {
private static var _stage:Stage;
private static var _timer:Timer;

I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. Basically i need to create a 20 second timer which displays the timer going down but also I need to have the second hand rotating on each click until the timer is complete.I can managed to rotate the tick 360 degrees but I can't figure out how to sync it with a onscreen timer Here is my code for the second hand.
PHP Code:
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000,20);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerListener);
function timerListener (e:TimerEvent):void{
timer_mc.rotation+=18;

I'm trying to create a rotating tab on a timer. [URL] Something like that. Is there any way to create something in flash so that typically, the above sequence will just loop but visitors to my site will have the option of clicking and viewing one individual tab?
View 7 RepliesBasically my project is like this, if the time condition is not meet, then it will display a default swf. If meet,then it will unload the default swf and display certain blank swf which will addchild certain image and words based on record in database. Then when the time is reach the end of duration, it will unload the blank swf along with the images and words and upload back the default. how to do in such a way like automatically unload a default swf and load the blank swf along with objects when the time is meet with computer system time and vice versa.

Just wondering how to set up an event listener to trigger a function when a movieclip reaches a certain y position?
Say the movieclip is called ball_mc.
I have only set up an event listener Mouse Input and Keyboard input. How do I set up an event listener for a Boolean's state? I change the Boolean state in other classes using:
main(parent).meVariable == true;
So, how do I set up an event listener in main to jump to a function if that turns to true? something like...
ActionScript Code:
if (myVariable == true){
myFunction();
}
I need to rotate through an animation sequence.
the animation is 40 frames long and I have stop frames on 1, 10, 20, 30, and 40.
everytime the user clicks the "rotate" btn, it will go through the animation
This is the code I have on the rotate button:
on (release) { for (var i = 0; i<=5; i++) { _root.play(); trace(i); }}
It works for the most part, BUT, once the animation starts over again, it hesitates for a frame when you click the rotate button then it goes back
to normal.
1. I want to make the big yellow circle in the middle to acctually look like it is in the middle of the green rotating spheres... So it is sort of the sun and the rest are the planets... This obviously has something to do with swapDepths, but I am not to good at AS and I can't figure out how to do it!
2. I wish to make the green spheres each a seperate button, so that when you click one of them it falls from the group and the camera follows it (the camera, when following its fall, should also center it)... Then the sphere will bounce on an invisible surface (invisible surface is notable by the shadow created below the ball), come to a rest in the center of the page and then the info shows up...
We are planning an implementation that would be setup as automatic failover in the event of a disaster. We only have two physical servers (Windows 2008 R2 based). What is everyone's suggestion? I read a lot about origin-only cluster and origin-edge clusters. It seems like origin-only cluster would work best for this type of fail over but I'm not sure. We would most likely use Microsoft network load balancer built-in on Windows 2008 R2. We have the option of using remote storage but could also do local storage. The types of streaming would be videos loaded to the server (not live). Let me know any suggestions to achive an automatic failover with two physical systems
View 1 Repliesso today my question is how can we have 1 function triggered by both a Timer event and a Mouse event? 'm trying to avoid having to re-write/re-name a function just because I also have a Mouse event that triggers it and not just a Timer event.
Issue:
I have a addThis bubble fade in with icons on a button rollover, the addThis bubble will fade out after the timer is finished, but I also have a close button in that bubble which needs to use the same function that the timer uses. (want to avoid writing 2 exactly alike functions)
I'm hoping this there is an easy workaround for this like event:null or something.[code]./...

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to setup an interface where an event is triggered by the user pressing a key on the keyboard. So far I have the following code in a button on the stage:
Code:
on (keyPress "a"){
trace("you pressed a")
}
on (keyPress "b"){
[code]...
Which works fine. I was wondering if there was a way to either remove the case sensitive properties of the keypress action, or to force the keyboard to return a caps lock or something. The only way I can think of doing it so far would be something like this:
Code:
on (keyPress "a"){
trace("you pressed a")
}
on (keyPress "A"){

Which obviously will double the amount of code needed - especially as the event for a small c and a capital C would be the same.

Is there an actionscript I can insert to create the animation/movement of a cube flipping/rotating vertically?
View 4 RepliesI am glad for my first participation in this forum. Currently, I am working on Flash8, were doing a banner animation. It has buttons created by XML binding. When you click the buttons, appropriate product picture appears and when you click on the picture page is redirected to that products page. I want that animation to be automatically browsing products. And when you click some button browsing would stop, picture would appear, if no action wait for a while and continue browsing(first picture, second picture, ...) automatically.

I need to learn how feasible it is to automatically assemble Flash animations which take a background image, an animation (or a set of vector drawings that can be turned into an animation) and a sound file from a set of files. In other words, assume that I have the following set of files:
3 background images (let's assume JPG)
3 animations (no sound, no static background)
100 sound files (let's assume MP3)
So if I want to code something like:
for i 1 to 3
for k 1 to 3
take animation i
take background image k
for j 1 to 100
take sound_file j
resulting_swf = assemble (animation[i], background[i], sound_file[j])
save(resulting_swf)
Which will produce 900 Flash animations with different combinations of sound and background, what is the starting point? Are there some libraries (in Python, Perl, PHP, etc.) with good documentation and examples to develop something like that, some program that I can run from the command line?
I've created a grid of 3D cubes using modulus, and the 3d cubes are were created from the Math and Flash tutorial. I have set up listeners so when the mouse hovers over a cube it starts to rotate:
private function setUpListeners():void {
spBoard.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,boardOut);
}
That works fine.
To begin the rotation of the cube when the mouse passes over it I have used:
private function boardOut(e:MouseEvent):void {
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateSquare);
var i:int = 1;
function rotateSquare(e:Event) {
renderView(curTheta+i,curPhi+i);
i++;
}}
I can see why this would be inefficient, as it is running the loop every every frame, and for so many multiple cubes it just lags (very badly). I should clarify, I'm hoping for the rotation to continue indefinitely once the mouse moves off the cube. Here is how I am creating the cubes onto the "grid":
public function FlowerMenu(){
var rowY:Number = 0;
for (var i:int = 0; i < 190; i++) {
