Is there a way to convert a classic tween to a motion tween?
View 0 RepliesPut 2 identical tweens, 1 motion tween, the other classic tween.Are there any differences in the final weight (Kb) of the resulting .swf file?
View 1 RepliesI created a classic tween on the timeline (not with actionscript), which moves a movieclip. If I change any property of that movieclip from actionscript, that layer stops updating, even if I change the value to its initial value. Can I access that tween on the timeline from actionscript?
View 3 RepliesI'm working on an AS3 project and thought I'd save myself some scripting by using classic tweens in the timeline to transition between filters on movie clips. They look fine when testing, but when I save the project, close, then re-open later, the tweens are gone.
Is this a known bug in CS4, or is there something I'm missing about classic tweens in AS3?
I'm new for AS3. I have some question about the classic tween vs AS3 Tweening.
I tried to compare the swf file size of both.
the first one i make an animation with the classic Tween.
the second one i make an animation with AS3 Tweening.
before, i thought the script tweening one will much smaller than the classic tween one, but after i compare both, the AS3 Tweening one has bigger file size.
So my question is, 1.will the file size bigger if i use action script to move the object?
2.then what's the advantage to tween the object using AS3 for a flash website?
3.how can I compress the filesize(i'm trying to build a full flash site)?
I have just started using Flash CS5 recently and have a question about the classic tween. I have noticed that when I make a classic tween Flash automatically makes symbols out of my grouped objects. I have worked with previous versions and it was sufficient to just group my objects on the stage to make a tween. Is there a way to turn this feature off? I'm an animator and it's very annoying and messy to make a symbol out of all the objects I want to animate.
View 3 RepliesIf I put any text letter of any size at the top of the stage, lets say for example a "T" of 10 pts. Then move the timeline to frame 50 and insert a keyframe and then move that "T" down to the bottom of the stage and resize it to say 50 pts. (I want the effect of the letter growing as it moves down the stage).If I then isert a Motion Tween and scrub it the letter just stays at 10 pt until the keyframe at 50is hit and then it resizes to 50. Not the effect I am looking for.But if I use the classic tween then it does do what I want which is gradually grow from 10 pts to 50 pts by the bottom of the stage.

When I add a tween (CS3) I always used the Properties panel and choose "motion" from the tween settings. This way there's no symbols added in the library. Just noticed that there are also tween symbols added if I add a tween using right Mouse click or via the menu Insert>Timeline>CreateMotionTween. Never used this before. But I can't seem to see any tween settings on the properties tab anymore in CS5.
I'm making a classic horizontal sliding menu flash site, but just can't seem to iron out the last little tweak. How do I get the mouse to not react when over the open section, I've tried 'delete mc3.onRelease;' which works, but then that section will not longer work at all after it's been closed.
I've attached the fla and a link to the beta site as I'm finding it hard to explain exactly what I mean:[URL]..
John Ulliman uses actionScript3 with Flash CS3 and I have Flash CS5 which is the main difference. It appears he uses a classic tween (from CS4 and CS5's perspective).I have a thumbnail which is created as a movie symbol and when I double click on the timeline I have a tween of zero saturation (frame 1) to 100% saturation (frame 10) back to zero saturation frame 20. When I scrub the timeline the classic tween fades up and down correctly. But when I trigger the rollover (and rollout) event from the main timeline which should goto the movie instance called mThumb0.gotoAndPlay(2) starting at frame 2 for ROLL_OVER and Thumb0.gotoAndPlay(11) for the ROLL_OUT event it seems to only change the saturation a little but not touch the saturation filter.
I don't know if there is something about the different tweens (Classic and Motion) that I need to know. I don't know what the sync checkmark does but I tried it on and off with no help. I put trace statements that indicate the ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT events are being triggered and the functions the events trigger are being called correctly but I don't know how to debug what is happening with the timeline after the mThumb0.gotoAndPlay occurs.
I was sent an swf ad for my website and when I mouseover it I get the click hand symbol but when I click a page loads with an error saying that the page cannot be found.
I tried to place an a href tag around the entire swf file but I get the same error. Is there a way to fix this without having the flash file?
trying to bring in a list of people from an XMLdocument when a button is pressed, and once that list is broughtin, I want to make each name clickable so that a reader can findout more information about that person (the text of which wouldalso be from an XML document). The first part seems fairlystraightforward (see coding below; Im not sure if this isthe best way to do it, but it seems to work). Im stumped,though, about how to do the second part (make the names clickable).

View 9 RepliesI have clips that I create using createEmptyMovieClip, and I would like to make them clickable. For my specific needs, I found dropping an empty clip from the library doesn't accomplish my goals.note that I will be creating multiple clips, which will need their own function when clicking, mouse over and mouse out.
Here is the code that I use to to create the clip.
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("homeHolder_mc", 2);
I am using MovieClipLoader(); to load a SWF on to the stage like this.
var myMCL = new MovieClipLoader();
myMCL.loadClip("swf/button1.swf","mcButton");
Now I want to make the loaded SWF clickable so I have added the following code:
mcButton.onRelease = function() {
trace("Hello World");
};
I thought that would work but it doesn't.

I have a swf embedded into a site, and I want the swf to be clickable so when you click on it it goes to another page. I tried wrapping the whole flash object in tags, and that makes it clickable but the biggest problem I'm having is when you roll over it with the mouse the pointer icon doesn't come up, it just looks like the regular arrow. I tried playing with the css and doing cursor:pointer, but it still doesn't work. I can edit the .fla file and add some actionscript 2.0 to it, but I'm not sure what to add or where. I'd rather do it through html or css, but if I have to do it in flash that's ok too. Also, I have an invisible button over the whole thing called, MYbtn
