ActionScript 3.0 :: Generate An Animation Containing All The Frames From A Sprite Sheet?
Sep 2, 2009
I'm trying to generate an animation containing all the frames from a sprite sheet. Then also append them again but flipped vertically. I have an animation class to create the animation, the stuff I wrote just gets the image from the sprite sheet and sends it to this class. But "frame.scaleX = -frame.scaleX;" isn't changing anything, neither is "frame.scaleX = -1;". It's just leaving the bitmap the same..
here's my code:
Code:
for(var i:uint = 0;i < 20;i++)
{
var frame:Bitmap = getFrame(i);

SO I am working on animating a 20/fps sprite (an SCV from Starcraft 2). The animation is 1 second long, and thus 20 frames. I have made a sprite sheet in photoshop, and have each frame as a separate layer. I import the PSD into my library and have it convert the layers to "Flash Frames". I get each frame nicely tucked away as a layer in my library. Problem is, it gives an ugly white border (about 1 to 2 pixles thick) around my sprites, making it look like I did a terrible crop job. However, the crop job is fine (I can change the background in the PSD to black, and the cropped sprite frames look perfect! What have I done wrong or need to do?

In Flash I am able to create a font asset and add it to the library:I want to convert this asset into some BitmapData that will contain all of the characters with the correct letter spacing/line height etc.
Is there an inbuilt way of doing this other than manually creating text fields, adding a character, using BitmapData.draw() and then adding the result to a sprite sheet?
If I need to do it manually like above, is there a way to retrieve all of the embedded characters? For example, in the above screenshot I'd expect only a-z, A-Z. Or will I need to note these manually as well?

Here's a link to a particle explosion generator with many options to play with and it saves a transparent png sprite sheet: [URL] The same particle engine is used in my latest game:Tank Rush. But since my next game will use only sprite sheets for effects, I created this generator out of the tank rush engine.

I installed Adobe Flash CS5.5 a couple of days back...Trying to learn a few basic tricks such as motion tween (messed up things with the bone tool though)..Well the problem is, a friend of mine made a 3D drawing in Solid Works(a modelling software). It is a sort of box, now he wants me to make a flash animation for the box which starts from a sheet of paper and folds into a box and then the camera zooms out.
Now i have no idea how to do that..jpg file can be made and imported to flash...but as it will be an imported file how can it be manipulated to achieve the final task....taking screen shots of the box at various stages of solid works can be done and then played all together in flash baut it would be very tiresome and time consuming...
I dont want anyone to make it for me just guide me what tools and tutorials to look at.

If I have acomplex timeline animation with a series of shape and motion tweens, is it possible to export all the separate frames as a sequence of sprites in one huge PNG sheet?
There is a great jQuery plugin, called jBlitter which accepts such PNG spritesheets, and turns them into animated buttons or other UI elements.

I would like to use Bitmaps in my Actionscript games.For me this represents a large change in my workflow as I have always used Vector but Bitmaps are really so much faster to render in certain circumstances. As far as I can see, 90% of all my game assets can be bitmaps.Firstly, are there any good tools for working with Vector to BitmapData? Libraries or OpenSource utilities?I know you can just draw to a BitmapData, and I do that, but what about Animations? What about a MovieClip of a laughing cow? How can I render that MovieClip at runtime to some kind of Bitmap version?But more complex than that What about situations where you do not have the MovieClip in a raw form?Imagine 10000 cogs turning at the same rate which is generated with code. This is hard work for the processor, so drawing it to a Bitmap for the duration of 1 revolution, would replace 10000 cogs with a SpriteSheet. I could destroy the cogs, and keep the SpriteSheet. Can anyone offer me any resources or google keywords I can search for, not sure of the technique but it seems to make sense? Especially with Starling..

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.

My flash asset file contains seven poses of a cute character. On the other hand, a C++ application (OpenCV), detects my gestures on the webcam. Each gesture is mapped to one of the seven poses. How to generate a sequence of animated poses in Flash format? Which library/plugin can best output such flash sequence? SWFTools has a command called jpeg2swf that does the job - but my asets are (already) in swf format. I guess I need something like swf_frames2swf

I don't know, whenever I try to make a sprite animation and I click on Trace Bitmap, it shows a loading bar, I wait and wait, and when about more then half is done loading, and a little is left, the screen freezes, and I cant even click cancel to stop the loading bar.

I am tring to create a sliding banner animation dynamically. The reason that I create dynamic is that I want to load banner images and headlines from XML file.
So I found a sample project with .as and .xml file. It does what I want but it has no animation. You can see the demo here: [URL] As you can see, there's a transparent info panel below. Here's the code how it is being created:
private var infoPanel:Sprite = new Sprite();
private var titleField:TextField = new TextField();
private var description:TextField = new TextField();

Can't figure the best/conventional way to manage the sprites/animation. Players are supposed to upgrade their weapons and armors, and its to reflect on their character appearance. Instead of drawing each armor to pair with each weapon. What are the best way to go? I've tried nesting weapons(sub-movieclip) inside each set of armors(main movieclip). But then I have trouble playing the clip using gotoAndStop().

I have a mc with a set of images with fadein fadeout animation. there are two sets namely SetA and SetB with there respective buttons buttonA and ButtonB. Now the mc has two labels corresponding the buttons, when the label is A it should reduce the alpha for ButtonA to 35and vice versa. But the main problem is while tracing the timeline the currentframe remains 1 and does not go any further, so it plays the animation but does not reach the labelB for ButtonB. Is there any way we can trace the timeline keyframes in the mc? Here is the sample code.

We're trying to find the most optimal memory solution to doing Player Color in a flash game for sprite animation. We're using CS3 Action Script 3.0. Basically we're using sprite animation but currently for every player we create a duplicate set of animations with just different color. This is very expensive. Vector graphics tend to slow down performance too much for our games so we need to use bitmaps and would like to stick to that. So for a bitmap the alpha channel really only needs 2 values 0 for transparent 1 for draw the pixel. Is there any way I can use the other 254 values for a player color algorithm. The best we've come up with is to do 1 set of animations & 1 set of color mask animtions. So in total we would have 2 full set of animations for 2-x players. The Color mask seems to need to be 32 bits. So what I have is 2 questions.
1) Is there a way we can make 1 set of bitmap animations but use the 254 other values in the alpha channed to do player color?2) Is ther a way to use a Mask set of animations but only use 8 bit not 32 bit?

I am following this page to create a custom preloader extending Sprite to load an animation SWF, but it is not working (the animation SWF is not displaying): [URL]. I know the Animation.swf file is okay, because if I load it into the main app it displays and runs. The preloader works if an image is loaded by the preloader instead of the animation SWF.
test.mxml (main app)
BTW, I typically have many more lines of ComboBox in the app to force the preloader to display, but limiting number of lines here.
CustomPreloaders.SparkAnimationProgressBar.as
package customPreloaders {
import flash.display.;
import flash.events.;
import flash.net.;

How can I use displayObjects as animation frames?I have six symbols in my library I want to animate with a timer. The advantage would be the ability to change the speed of the animations, and the elimination of the messy timeline.
The only drawback is the initial setup of the objects in the library. I've tried switch/case design patterns, visible=true, and z-depth, but I can't get it to work properly. Any answers?
//setup code
var timer:Timer = new Timer(100, 20);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, countdown);
function countdown(event:TimerEvent) {

I want to make an interactive flash file, and the way I want to have it layed out is that a steady animation will play in one layer, while being able to jump around in frames with events such as a mouseover.I'm going to give a generic example, this isn't what I'm going to do, but it gets the point across.Theres a house and a tree. The leaves on the tree are falling, and upon mouseover of the house door, the door will open. Yet the leaves will remain falling (without skipping frames in the animation) while the door is still opening.How do you do this without using a goToAndPlay(x) or such that jumps the whole animation?

I created a short animation for the first time yesterday, and I ended up drawing a few frames ouside the parameters of the stage. Now I want to adjust the position of the whole composition so that it all fits on the stage. Is there a way, like in photoshop with seperate layers, to select every frame and move them all simultaneously?

I am using a loading bar with % (percentage) . Everything seems to be working properly but its giving a little problem , it load 25% and then shows the loading bar. That mean while loading till 25% of the movie the is completely blank. Which is quite annoying and recognized as a bug. Required help from the actionscripting expertise. For further reference I have uploaded the site on this address : http:[url]....
The script I am using
1st frame
PHP Code:
txtPercentage = Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100) add "% Loaded"; tellTarget ("loader") { gotoAndPlay(Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100)); }
2nd frame
PHP Code:
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() == _root.getBytesTotal()) { nextScene(); } else { gotoAndPlay(1); }
And a instance name : loader with containing 100 frames loading bar animation.

I was following this tutorial: [URL] To make the buttons feel more smooth, can anyone modify the Actionscript to make it so that the animation on the "over" label not skip even if the mouse is no longer on the button or rerolls on the button too early? (In other words, let the "over" animation finish even if the mouse leaves the button, thus letting it finish before it goes and animate the "out" label). I hope that isn't too confusing.

I'm creating an animation kinda like a travel map, x - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - x .where the x's equal the start and the end point, and the dashs are like your direction etc, a good example is if you've ever seen those pirate movies where they have the maps and it shows where they have to go.is if there is a better way to do it than I currently am (Still finding my way around the whole Animation thing - and I'm sure theres an easier way than this!)
At the moment I'm going frame by frame and in adding objects, so for example, in frame one I have my 'x' object, then frame two I pasted the 'x' object plus one 'dash' objects, and so on and so forth, and I have a feeling that doing this is going to take agessss, and I'm sure there must be an easier way! I essentially need the 'x' object to span across ALL of my frames, is there a command or something for this? I'm not too knowledgeable with tweening, but can it be done with that?

I've created a movie clip and within that movie clip I've posted my animation, thus making an animation within one keyframe (this makes it easier to manage because instead of having to say "gotoAndPlay(70)" I can put "gotoAndPlay(1)" for the standing animation, "gotoAndPlay(2)" for the moving animation, etc.) But I don't know how to refer to the certain frames within that one keyframe via AS3.
