ActionScript 3.0 :: "threading" - Run Multiple Tweens At The Same Time Without Them Crashing?
Jun 18, 2010
is there a way in as3 to run multiple tweens at the same time without them crashing? eg. I had a problem with a movie clip.. on mouse over it would glow, and if clicked it would move to another place... the problem was if the user clicked the clip while it was glowing, the "glow" tween was interupted and the clip moved to another place but kept the glow... another eg. if i play an embedded video at the same time an animaton of some sort starts at another part of the screen, they both slow down.... so basicly, is there a way to make multiple tweens and/or videos run smooth at the sam time?

Flash CS5.5 has suddenly started crashing all the time. It's ridiculous.It's always about 2 seconds after:- Minimizing/Bringing forward another window.- Testing a movie- Opening/closing another fla in CS5.5This is with any fla file. It's incredibly frustrating.The window just tints white and I get a "____________ has stopped working", and my only choice is to close program.I am using Windows 7. am really shocked at how progressively unreliable EVERY Flash Pro has been since CS3, despite being an industry standard.It's been incredibly useful to me since I first started using it in 2004 (MX 2004 that is). However, considering all my other development software, it is clear that it is by far the most unreliable.It is unacceptable.

I am a flash games developer, and I am currently working on a game that is truly massive.The main file size is over 250MB.It's been a work in progress for about 4 months of solid work.Due to the size of the file, I prefer to create things like characters and objects in another file. I then need to import it over, replacing old movieclips.
When copying and pasting now, it always crashes, or tells me that its run out of virtual memory.It appears to be impossible to get it all over, even bit by bit.I've saved and compacted, I've saved as, I've moved it onto another disk drive.All of the above seemed to help temporarily, but I'm now at a stage where nothing is working.I don't think the file is corrupted in anyway. I've had no problems with any other component of flash. Just the copying.I just don't understand what's so intensive about moving over an object of about 10-20 mb.My computer is quite high performance, 5.6ghz, 4gb of ram.
I've asked for help on so many forums now, and all i get is criticism at my file size. Well it can't be helped. It's a massive game.I've tried using a runtime shared library, but unfortunately it doesn't allow attachmovie to get it from the library. It seems the identifier is only being used to connect the 2 libraries when you set up a runtime shared library.attachmovie is very important to the code and it can't be done any other way.

using the distribute to layers option constantly crashes me! I can use it ONCE after a restart of flash and after that it's a gamble wether it will crash or not...though more often than not it does

I noticed that when compiling a flash file (test Movie) and when I am loading some content from a webserver that is slow that I think flash is thinking it takes too long and crashes. So is there a way to control the compile time to prevent it from crashing?

Trying to solve flash video crashes in multiple browsers. Both IE8 and Chrome in Windows 7 Home Premium 64b were crashing with flash videos. Reading forums, Adobe Flash was to blame in that it has problems with IE8 64b etc. Well I made sure that the 32bit version was running and still had the same problem. Occasionally I noticed a message advising that the 8500 graphics card had recovered rom a crash. The graphics driver was uninstalled and then re-installed. Strangely both my browsers were no longer processing internet packets. I uninstalled Chrome and re-installed the latest version. IE8 and Chrome then operated normally AND no more flash video crashes.

Is it possible to make tweens happen at the same time with Greensock Timelinelite?
I know it could be possible to fake it by putting a negative delay in but that's not very accurate.

I seem to remember reading that you shouldn't do it.I was mad at Flash CS4 and CS5 because I wasn't able to make the animation work like After Effects, as far as animating something, having it rest, and then animating it again. I know you can do this already, however, if you add easing you could mess yourself up as the ease gets applied to the entire tween. I wanted to be able to tween something with an ease, then let it rest, then tween it again, again with an ease.
Tonight I discovered this: Place CTI over last frame of first tween, select object, copy. Go to next "slot" and Insert Blank Keyframe, then Paste in Place the object. Make some more frames. Then after it all make a New Keyframe (content from preceeding keyframe gets copied into it, then add more frames, select them and Make Tween. I now have 2 tweens on the same layer, each with their own easing that can't get stretched out of place.However, when I did this I noticed, before making the second tween, that I was not able to just click the object and Make Tween from there. I had to actually make regular frames and convert them

I have a problem, which I couldn't solve. I made three motion tweens. One is the background, which slides in from left. Another one, is a car, which goes in the scene from right. The two visible wheels of this car are spinning too using a motion tween. The problem is that all these motion tweens keep looping. I would like to let the background and the wheels of the car loop forever, but I want the car to come in from right and stop on the left. When I tried to stop it, it stopped the car, but unfotunately it stopped the background too. How could I manage to let the background and the wheels of the car loop, but stop the car in a position?[URL]

I'm trying to mask multiple shape tweens for a slideshow animation I'm working on. (the transition would look just like the main animation on this page url...)
Everything works fine when I'm only masking/tweening one shape. But as soon as I add a few more dquares to the mix everything goes to hell. Can someone tell me the most efficient way to have multiple shapes tweening, while masking an image underneath them?

What I want is to do this [URL] in actionscript rather than with tweens...as u can see, it takes EONS too long to load (on some PCs at least) (and I know, it DOES need a preloader (which I have), but I'm going to add that later. I want to get this going first). Now, I read a decent bit about onEnterFrame, and did some tutes, but I'm not quite sure how to use it to do what I want.

I have a few movie clips in the library. each is created at runtime, placed in an existing movie clip, and given some text (each movie clip has a dynamic text box inside). The header text loads, and then body, and then the enter button. My problem is that the tween for body don't work, yet the tweens for the header and the enter text work. The only difference between the header and the body movie clips, is that the textbox inside, in the body clip is set to multiline.[code]

Picture this, for now anyway, as I will be uploading my example when I get home from work. I have five squares all the same size on 5 different layers in slightly different posistions so it looks like a diagonal stack of squares.
I have a button called playHead which I need to act as a counter I will now state the play buttons functions. Once the user presses the play button the first square moves horizontally off of the stage through a coded tween, whilst the square behind it moves into its original position.
I need this function to happen for all of the squares, I would ideally like to use a key listener and the LEFT ARROW instead of a button but I am doing it this way firstly.
The problem is that because I am using multiple tweens and only 1 button everytime I press the play head it trys to trigger the first tween: I feel that I need a counter mechanism that turns off tweens that have already finished and counts through a variable to know which square has been moved. I will upload my progress at 6 tonight GMT.

i'm trying to tween a movie clip, there are multiple, called clipsArray0, 1, 3 etc.. i can pull back the number via creating a listener but when i try and tween this i get an error as the propriety if a String.
How do i get the String name to reference the movieclip with the same name?
clipsArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, makeListener("clipsArray" + i));
function makeListener(name:String):Function{

I am trying to target multiple tweens, trying to turn their visibility false/true. I have named each tween in the tween properties box, and I have targeted them like this: plane.plane2.tween1._visible=false (and so on), but no go! Only the first of the seven is actually affected--the others are not.

I want to get my movieclip "dial_graphcis_mph" to start at X position 0, move to X position -292.35,move back to X position -220, and then yoyo between -230 and -220.Is it possible to do this without using the TweenTimeline class or similar?I want to keep all the code on the stage with the movieclip if possible...The following code only yoyos between 0 and -292.35.
stop();
import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*;import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

I'm looking for some actionscript that will move a clip from one point to another, but in a curve. I've done one that tweens the x and y positions as well as the scaleX and scaleY that sort of does this.
Seems I've seen this sort of thing on YouTube at the end of watching a video. A set of small videos appear, they scale up in size and move to a new position, but they go up, and then down smoothly (thus, a 'curve');

I'm trying to create various tween for various movies, comething like this:
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;[code].....
My problem is how to call a specific tween to stop it, for example: onrollover stop the tween assigned to "barra3" mc for example. I can't use bot_alpha.stop() it doesn't work. I think it's because i have multiple "bot_alpha" tweens, i need something to dynamic create bot_alpha1; bot_alpha2; ... ...

When I want to ask for a small fee for my app, I'm not allowed to use TweenLite. So I started thinking I could probably replace the tweens with Flash's built-in Tweens. BUT I'm also using rotationY. Flash doesn't support this as far as I know. Are there Tween engines out there with a copyleft?

i use loadmovie() to load youtube videos inside my flash website but when i load another video the old one doesn't stop, so i tried unloadmovie to destroy it but it seems that i did a mistake in my code
This is how the code looks to stop the old one an load the new:
vloader.unloadMovie();
vloader.loadMovie("http://www.youtube.com/v/Alw5hs0chj0&hl=fr&fs=1hJ-mPcGtC");
How to do that? use other objects or classes, i only want to edit that code.
Note: I have an empty MOVIE CLIP called "vloader" where i load the video player.

I have a movieclip with an image fading in and out (using an actionscript tween class set to yoyo). This movieclip is loaded into a dummy movieclip when a button is pressed. The first time you click the button the fading movieclip plays as it should, fading in and out continuously. However, the second or subsequent times the button is clicked the fading movieclip goes crazy, half fading in/out and half jumping from one alpha value to another.

I know that flex does not support multi threading however, I would like to clear a doubt.I have two events that call a same function. Suppose the two events occur at the same instant (or in quick succession) will the handler be called twice, one after the other or there is a chance that if the handler function is taking too much time to execute the same handler can start executing simultaneously.

Does it run in a separate thread or the main loop? If the latter, does that mean that the Timer might not be called if the main loop is in a long-running action?More generally, what can you tell me about threads running in ActionScript? My once-a-minute Timer is called if an event-handler runs for minutes, so it is not the case that all ActionScript runs in one thread.
