I have a to movies on the timeline. And they are playing at different speeds depending on the processor available on the computer, so the get out of synch with each other, is there a way to lock the rate at which the movie symbols animate so that they never get out of synch? Wish I was able to be mare articulate, not exactly sure how to ask the question

View 1 RepliesI'm finally breaking down and learning AS3 over AS2. One question I have that my lessons aren't teaching me is how to control WHEN things happen in AS3.By example, how would you tell AS3 to put a mc from the library on the stage 15 seconds into the movie at alpha 0 and then 5 seconds later make that mc alpha
View 2 RepliesI have created a bouncing logo (similar to a screensaver). The MC loops and I have added some motion trail using dupe mc's, however when the main MC loops back to the start, the motion trail seems to go out of synch and fall behind in its positioning. I have attached the FLA to show you what I mean and you can see the AS that I have used.
View 2 RepliesI have a video that consists of an imported FLV to thetimeline so I could put a new background behind the alpha-channeledbackground of the movie and put other thingsin front of it. When Iexport as SWF it plays just great. However, the download is akiller over DSL speed connection, so I thought I'd try making thefinished product into an FLV. To do that I have to export as QTmovie first, then from QT Pro export to FLV. It loads much quicker,however the movie's video and audio get out of synch by the firstminute (it's 4 1/2 minutes long), and by the end it looks terrible.

I'm working in Flash CS3. My animation is about a minute long, with a single audio track that plays from beginning to end. The sound quality is noticably better when I set the synching to Event, but unless I set it to Stream the sound falls behind the animation. Is there any way to maintain proper synchronization with the Event setting? Also: will the lag be consistent on different machines and players? I thought about adjusting the timing of the animation so that it matches the Event-set sound in playback, but that's such a clunky a solution it seems likely to cause other problems.
View 2 RepliesMy movie is five about minutes long with audio and an offscreen timeline move clip containing action script to control other movie clips or play the root directory. After about a minute or so, movie clips get out-of-synch with the audio, apparently its getting bogged down. My swf file doesn't seem that big, about 2.2MB and my move clips aren't that complex, although up to three levels deep.
View 3 RepliesI have swfs for every letter of the alphabet containing a story and a song. And one swf as a loader for each letter as requested from a menu. These are then published into html.
Every file is working as normal individually and when loaded in the loader swf.
But when viewed in a browser the audio karaoke for the letter I is out of synch. and only the letter I. this happens locally and online.
The I.swf file individually and when opened in loader swf work fine. Its only happening when viewed with a browser (IE and Firefox)
all the audio are mp3 loaded from external files. But Ie also tried placing the audio in the swf timeline but the same problem occurred.
A co-worker thought it might be the file size or bit-rate of the mp3 but thats not the case because all the audio files are the same compression and bitrate The file size of the audio or the swf are not the largest in the collection either. So this rules out swf/mp3 file size and or mp3 settings.[FONT="] Im really stumped by this, because every other letter works fine, and as far as I can see they are all the same settings.
I have a 5 minute flash movie that has great sound synchronization with the motion when I export as a SWF. However, when I export as a Quicktime file (.mov), sometimes the sound is ahead of the image. Is there a setting I can tweak during Export to remedy this? (so far I have tried to save the Video as "H.264" as well as "Animation". And for sound I have had no luck with the setting of "None" or "Apple Lossless."
View 2 Repliesi 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)?
View 1 RepliesWhat 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?
Is there any way to create a navigation bar that is a separate movie from the main movie, but is able to target the main movie.
I've done this previously using frames, and so actionscript was able to target the frame, for instance, ("_mainFrame"). But i'd like to do this within FlashMX... How do i target another movie sitting in the same html document?
I want to load six seperate .swf's into the main movie while the main movie loads too. So in simpler words, i want to be able to load all of the swf's the same time i am loading the main swf.

I have separate sounds in each movie clip, which is what these buttons lead to, but it plays them all at the same time.
I am making a presentation where the user can drag objects around the stage where they animate into different interface formats.
I am wanting only a specific part of the object to be clicked to initiate the drag. I was thinking that a transparent button that was some how locked into position with the actual animated object would be a good idea?
This way when the button moved it took the animated movie clip with it.
Does anyone know of an action scrip 3.0 solution to locking separate movie clips together?Lock separate movie clips together?
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?
View 6 RepliesThis 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".

View 2 RepliesI am loading a scrolling image bar into a separate movie and it works great with the coding I have managed to piece together (since I am not an AS master) the problem I am having is that when the mouse moves out of the scrollbar area it is still controlling the motion from the rest of the movie it is imported into. I am pretty sure that it revolves around a _root.drag._y script command but since I am still learning scripting I am not sure of exactly how to code this....the scrollbar is 90pixels in height and I want the images to keep scrolling at +2 when the mouse leaves the designated area, just not to move with the mouse movement when moving around below the scrollbar.
mc = _root.drag._x
if (mc>250and mc<360){
for (i=1; i<=nomc; i++) {
mx = getProperty("/a" add i, _x);
setProperty ("/a" add i, _x, mx+2);

Currently, when you click on "Recent Projects", you are brought to a frame containing the following actionscript:
attachMovie("recentProjectsBody_mc", "recentProjectsBody_mc", 1);
recentProjectsBody_mc._x = 60;
recentProjectsBody_mc._y = 195;
This loads a new movie clip of a simple slideshow which has 7 frames. You can click through these frames with left and right buttons.
I no longer need the left and right buttons. I need a group of 7 buttons sitting under the "Recent Projects" link which each link to a different frame of the recentProjectsBody_mc movie clip.
I assume I need to load this movie clip before I link to a frame within it. But then how do I link to a specific frame within that movie clip?
