I'm trying to convert some actionscript 2.0 to actionscript 3.0. It's part of a smoke animation. I have it working perfectly using the actionscript 2.0 that was supplied, but have no idea how to get it to 3.0. Here's the original code:
fadeSpeed = 1.15; // Smoke fade speed.
floatUpSpeed = 1.75; // Smoke float up speed.
// Every frame attach a puff of smoke.

i have a problem with an animation i'm trying to do: i am searching for a way to animate chimney smoke. i don't want to make a realistic chimaney smoke, rather a cartoon type.here is a picture with the chimney and the smoke...http:[url]....
can the flowing of that smoke be animated through as3, or should it just be plain animation in flash? with shape tweening it got rather strange at some point. im not specialized in doing animation (like cartoons animation) and im havin difficulties identifying the shapes the smoke should have as it goes from the chimney up into the sky.
I'm going to use a particle system to create some smoke to simulate the tattoo burning into his skin. I can do that part just fine.What I'm not sure about is how to make the smoke only come from the "inked" part of the tattoo.I'm assuming I have to cast the tattoo as a BitMap and then run some sort of logic to see if a pixel exists and if so, to generate my smoke.Just not sure how to do that. The smoke generation I can do...it's the other part with the pixel bitmap thing that I'm confused about.

View 3 RepliesI was trying to create a website where i want my banner to be displayed not just as a picture but like an animation. I have seen few videos on how to convert an image to an animation. Then i tried downloading trial version of flash but it is taking me a lot of time for downloading. I am attaching the picture in this discussion. Can someone convert this image for me to any kind of animation (anything you like). Here is one website with a nice Flash banner. [URL]

I made an animation on the main stage and I need to convert it to a movieclip but Im having an issue. The animation consists of 3 layers one of which is a classic motion guide. Another layer is a ball that follows the guide.
I followed these adobe website instructions- [URL]
But when I play the movieclip my ball no longer follows the guide. Is it possible to convert an animation with a guide layer to a symbol?
I'm fairly new to Flash and I'm not familiar with it's functions.The animation I made in Maya is in 2 parts. For The second part of the animation I want it to be looping. The first part no.
View 4 RepliesI am primarily a programmer, a games programmer by trade who happened to pick up Flash on the side and later through a series of coincidences became a full time flash developer. Most of my work thus far has been code heavy, and has focussed on such things as interacting with web services, localization with xml files, flash video, streaming video, networking etc.
My employer recently lost one of its contractors who built a lot of animation heavy flash apps for them, and as I know my way around the Flash IDE quite well, and have created fairly complex animations in the past, they have asked me to assume a more animation orientated role. To this end, they have offered to send me on courses to get up to speed with Flash animation.
As I know probably 90-95% of Flash's capabilities, and am comfortable with animating / easing / masking / filters / tweening and how to produce these effects programmatically, my interest would lie in a course that teaches fairly advanced uses / best practices of flash. For instance, I find that there are many ways to do things in Flash, but only a few approaches that will get you there without the entire IDE coming to a grinding halt (shape hints is a good one, or perhaps an approach has forced you into a corner with many tweened animations which now need a small alteration made to all of them).
I have an .swf file (a flash animation) that is too big and unfortunately we do not have the source code (the .fla file) anymore. I need to display it in a div, and want to hide part of it.

I'm making an animation of a line drawing itself. I'm using a vector line that I drew in Illustrator, which I imported to the stage. I have been erasing a bit, inserting a new keyframe, erasing it a bit more, new keyframe etc. When i have finished this I intend to reverse the sequence so the line appears to be drawing itself. This process has been going really well, but at 1820 frames in a section of the line has started to shake/jitter (by which I mean from side to side very quickly). I deleted the frames and did them again, using the same process that I have for the rest of the line which is not jittering, but this small section is still jittering. It doesn't jitter or move when I move between frames, it only jitters when I play the movie by pressing Command + Enter or I export it as a Quicktime .mov file.
PS here is a YouTube video of the problem. The jitter starts around the bottom of South America. You may need to make it quite big on your screen to see it. You'll notice that that part of the line doesn't jitter most of the way along, but starts to jitter when it gets to that part.
I'm trying to simulate the coriolis effect and have managed to create a drawing application that lets the user draw on a rotating movie clip. However, I would like to now create an animation that automatically draws a line onto the movie clip which ends up being curved, but I can't figure out how to convert the x, y coordinates of the pixels on the stage to the corresponding x, y values of the movie clip. Here's what I have so far:

how to make realistic smoke / fog. All the tutorials I have seen are ok, but not exactly what I am looking for. I want to know how to make the smoke look like its reacting to the resistance of air thus changing the shape of the smoke as it moves and what not. [URL]Notice how the smoke is going down and also to the right. The smoke moving downward even reacts to the flow stream of the one going to the right and slightly alters its movement ( as if it was hitting a current in water ).
View 1 Replieshow can i make the smoke or something similar but pretty realistic; in flash?
View 14 RepliesI'm trying to create a smoke effect that will run in background of a microsite portal. I needs to be pretty big compared to the use we see everywhere of particle smoke effects usign PNG or flash 8 filters.Here's what I came with so far playing with some flash 8 filters but the solution still doesn't perform well enough, especially when we add the other div layers over the animation. I car emore about style that realism, that's why I like this approach, witch let me used a prerendered image for my smoke textureAnyone have some techniques or approach to suggest that could make this project possible? The way it is right now, almost no computer will be able to run it at a decent framerate.
View 2 RepliesI have two layers, one on the bottom (the background) with some buttons on it. The second one, on top, is a movieclip of some smoke that is passing over the background... (to still see the background, I set the smoke layer to Screen - blending mode). So now I can see both layers. but of course the buttons dont work anymore because of the layer that is on top... Now, the question is, how can I disable the smoke layer to access to the buttons? There is a way to do that?

I'm looking for a free AS3 particle engine that can render effects such as smoke, fire, water ripples, waterfalls and more. I need something robust like Partigen 2.5, only available without licensing.So far I've found:
Flint Particle System
Stardust Particle Engine
Ok perhaps ive bitten off too much here...I know you are not supposed to parse xml/html to regex but the thing is there just arent many other options.Im using AS3.im parsing the source of textflowlayout text to a different format.
string to parse :
< fontFamily=Verdana encoding=unicode fontWeight="bold"> some text < fontFamily=Verdana encoding=unicode > some text < fontFamily=Arial encoding=unicode fontStyle="italic"> some text < fontFamily=Arial encoding=unicode fontWeight="bold" fontStyle="italic"> some text
what i really need is:
< fontname=Verdanabold encoding=unicode> some text < fontname=Verdana encoding=unicode > some text < fontname=Arialitalic encoding=unicode > some text < fontname=Arialbolditalic encoding=unicode > some text
logically i think of it as taking apart the string into substrings
checking if there are fontWeight or fontStyle in the substring
if there is then appending the font name with the weight or style so so that the font name becomes font NameWeightStyle.then rebuilding the string.The font could be any font with variouse styles or weights..so far:
pattern = /<(.*?)>/gixsm;
var matches:Object = pattern.exec(str);
var finalstring:String = "";[code]...........

ok lets say you create a button that when held down play an animation of 20 frames if realsed it goes to frame one and stops if held down it plays out this animation. for the topic lets say you have a fire animation and you want the fire to apear and if the user hold its down the animation reaches the end of the time line and loops back and plays the last 5 frames of the animation and as soon as it is let go it goes to and stops at frame one. Well i know how to make a button that when held down plays out an animation. And i know how to say when released goes to and stops at frame one. What i dont know how to do is to loop the fire at the last 5 or 6 frames so the user can hold it down all day long and play out that animation.
