i'm having problems tweening 3d objects using the built in fp10 3d engine. i have a timeline tween that i want to create a tweenlite tween from and then duplicate it for other objects. i am using the bezierthrough plugin as well to tween along a path. i have used the motion editor in the ide to copy all values that change along the path into a tweenlite instance as follows:

I think Flash/Flex is a good aproach for this case.We need to build some like the following
View 2 RepliesI'm creating a game-engine, which will add objects to itself as symbols, and I want to be able to choose how they are "layered". For example, say I decide to model things in a type of 3D, and the Z co-ordinate is used for depth (distance from front), how would I translate this into an object 1 unit away rendering in front of an object rendering 2 units away? The engine programming I've done fine in terms of calculating the values etc., as I have a strong javascript background so that was the easy what with actionscript's neat OO syntax, but getting it to do things visually is a bit problematic know, heh. So far all I've really managed is a nice little loading bar, which isn't really that hard =D
Also, the symbols I create are actually going to be comprised of multiple parts; a base-layer, a detail-layer, and a colour-layer. What is the easiest way to do this? Ideally I'd create the symbol with multiple layers of its own, and simply toggle the detail and colour-layers on/off as required, and tint the colour-layer independently of the rest of the symbol. Is this possible? Or will I need to use multiple symbols and move them in tandem myself?
I'm trying to make black-outlined objects using the Alternativa3D engine, I'm going for a cartoonish look. How can I do this?
View 2 RepliesI would like to know if I can get an error or some other problems when I try to tween several objects like this and using an onComplete-property:
TweenLite.to(restartBtn, .5, {alpha:0});
TweenLite.to(mainMenuBtn, .5, {alpha:0, onComplete:quitFadeIn});
What I want to do is fade out several objects at once and when they finished a special function gets called. Are there other possibilities when using tweenlite available or do I have to use timelinelite?

I am developing an isometric rpg engine in flash AS3. I have decided to separate the engine code completely from the game data, which is in xml. So I have all the maps in xml files, all the quests and npcs etc. My question is when to parse the xml into actual Actionscript code. Should I do this at the start of every play session? Should I only parse the maps as they are called? This is like start up code. For example, I want to parse every tile into a tile object, then draw it to the map. Also, I want to parse the quests in the xml into quest objects so that they can be accessed by other code. So, when should I do this??
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to scale up an object from its center even if its registeration point is at the top left? can that be done using TweenMax?2. can I apply the same tween on two objects at the same time? basically what I want to do is load up an image to the stage, and then tween its scale from 0 to the original size along with another movie clip behind it that would form some sort of a border for the image. and I want to scale them up from the center.
View 1 RepliesHow to make the objects in your flash move without tweening? example, I have 2 retangles and I want the 1st rectangle to move left and bounce at the edge of the scene. And the 2nd rectangle move to the same direction but not the same speed.
Rectangles are: rectangle1 and rectangle2
Is there an easier way to set up 6 different similar tweens? I can't seem to get a "for" loop to work - Each of the nested clips is sitting on the main stage. The following code works, but it's way too long:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
// var next1Alpha:Object = new Tween(panel1.next_mc, "_alpha",
Regular.easeOut, 100, 40, 0.75, true);

I am creating a Twitter to Flash newsticker using a TextBox class. I animate the movement using methods of the TextBox class and TweenLite. The application runs fine, but after about 15 minutes, the tweenings become very sluggish. Anyone that has experience with the drawing API, as I think it is related to clearing / deleting the objects...

I've searched a lot, but still cannot find answer to my problem. I have a dynamic gallery that needs some animation on each item. I tried using AnimatorFactory, but because items are dynamically created it doesn't work. I tried using dictionaries, arrays, but nothing helps. I keep on getting the following error: Code: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property p_380020857260 not found on packages.lord.Group and there is no default value. Here is a snippet of my code regarding this:

I've recently made the move from Tweener to TweenLite (about time) and am wondering if its possible to pass more than one object into a tween like I could with tweener.
For example, does this tweener syntax...
Code:
Tweener.addTween([movie1,movie2,movie3],{alpha:1, time:1});
...need to be divided up into separate tweens in TweenLite or is there another way to do it?
Code:
TweenLite.to(movie1,1,{alpha:1});
TweenLite.to(movie2,1,{alpha:1});
TweenLite.to(movie3,1,{alpha:1});
Right now I'm working on a website that has movie clips that I want to tween back and forth across the stage when a button is pressed.
Here's the idea:
When 2_btn is pressed, I want 1_mc, 2_mc, and 3_mc to move from right to left and then stop when 2_mc is positioned on the stage, stop moving and play
Then if 3_btn is pressed I want all three to be animated from right to left until 3_mc is positioned on the stage, stop moving and play
Then if 1_btn is pressed I want all three to move from right to left until 1_mc is positioned on the stage, then stop moving and play
Basically I have no idea how to accomplish this, or how to word it into Google.
What I have right now, which obviously isn't accomplishing what I want is:
Tween from left to right across the timeline, and then using a gotoAndPlay, and then stop(); on the frame..
I am making some animations with shape tweening. I actually need it for my presentation.There are five layers of almost same shape of objects. The first two layers and shape tweening works as I expected.But from third layer, something weird happening. As I do shape tween, the layer becomes two moving objects: one is acting as I wish, but the other same object rotaing in x-direction.

I'd like to remove objects via removeChild after Tweenlite has finished tweening. But it doesn't really work because my objects are still in the DisplayList.
Code:
//TweenLite.to(sndText, .5, {alpha:0, onComplete:removeChild, onCompleteParams:[sndText]});//does not really work; still in DisplayList
TweenLite.to(sndText, .5, {alpha:0});
TweenLite.to(musicText, .5, {alpha:0});
TweenLite.to(sndSlider, .5, {alpha:0});

I'm getting the following error: Motion tweening will not occur on layers with ungrouped shapes or on layers with more than one group or symbol. I don't have any ungrouped shapes (it's all text), each layer has 5 instances of only one symbol (keyframes), no objects are grouped and text is all static text.
When watching the animation, the first word (web) looks fine, on the second word (design) the tween fails on the last couple of frames of that clip (the blur filter disappears), the third word (and) is OK, and on the forth word (development) the blur filter is not applied to the last 16 frames of that clip.I broke each animation into its own MC thinking that was causing the issue, but that didn't fix anything.
Anybody notice any issues when resizing windows that are embedded using the new "gpu" wmode? Like a noticeable lag and some scaling issues for about a second before it fixes itself? Its not a big problem but it is a lot less smooth than previously...Edit: I threw together a quick demo so you can have a look. I'm working on a site and it really has to use the new gpu wmode since it improves the performance quite significantly.
View 2 RepliesSo I am learning AS3 slowly.First project in it.I am having some troubles. (I know I need to learn to code class based, working on it, familiarizing myself with some of the basics before I change my style completely).I have set up my stage to have four instances of a movieclip named silverScreen0 - silverScreen3.Each of those has a content layer in it which I am dynamically loading an identical swf.I then have a mask I put over each clip so that it only show a specific area.
-First issue comes up that hte fourth mask seems to move/distort on load, as you'll see in the swf.
-Second issue comes up when the loaded swf comes in ... the mask seems to shift if the swf has a motion animation, click the second white circle above chapter1 to see this.
-Third issue comes up when I move the content layer inside of the silverScreen# clip ... the mask seems to move as well. No example of this but if you download the source files you can see it.[code]
Flash files I embed have faulty plugin detection - it does not recognize FP10 as an upgrade from FP9. This is in the knowledgebase, but it does not suggest a solution. "Some websites will ask you to install or update Flash when you already have the Flash 10 plugin installed. This is not a problem with your Mozilla browser or your Flash plugin, but with certain websites that misidentify Flash 10 as Flash 1 due to a faulty detection scheme. Contact the website and ask them to correct the problem or, on Windows, you can try the site in Internet Explorer, since the Flash ActiveX detection may work even though the plugin detection does not."
View 4 RepliesI'm messing around a bit with the new fp10 drawing api and drawtriangles. i've created a little something i think is kinda of cool, though i can't seem to get the uv-mapping working as i want. since i'm just moving points in z/y direction i don't really have and z-value to calculate the uv with. though the bitmap texture gets distorted. i've tried to calculate a "fake" z-value with x and y, but since my maths skills are terrible i can't really get it to work.
i've thrown together a little sample here below (code obviously needs cleaning up, but i'm gonna worry about that when i've got it working as i want to). in this example z-val will always be 1 and no perspective fixing will be done. so i really need your to figure out how i can take my calculated x and y point and turn them into a "fake" z-point and use that to avoid distortion in the map/texture.

I have been using the flashvars from swfobject for a long time to pass info into my swf for specific outcomes. I am just starting to publish everything using flash player 10 and wasnt able to get my variable to be seen by the swf. maybe i was doing something incorrectly with this new file? but i then took code from my older files and they didnt work either... then i published down to flashplayer 9 and it worked perfectly... ???
i am using swfobject 2.2 and my code for passing the flashvar is
// Flash Code:
Code:
var r:int = root.loaderInfo.parameters.varName == null ? 0 : root.loaderInfo.parameters.varName;

I'm trying to debug an old AS2 project that uses an old version of MDM Zinc and its driving me mad not having a decent debugger.
Especially as I need to debug on several platforms,e.g by Zinc exe works fine in XP but not in Vista.I tried downloading the latest XRay stuff from GoogleCode but it doesn't seem to work as my player is the lastest FP10 I suspect that this could be the result of FP10 sandbox security changes to local connection.
PS. I did look at DeMonster debugger but I can only find an AS3 version
I have run into a small graphics glitch in Flash.It seems to be both in FP9 - Exported via Flash CS3, and FP10 Exported via the Flex 4 beta SDK.The glitch /problem manifests itself as embedded text at a small point size "blooming" under certian conditions.It basically looks like the antialiasing becomes fatter at some level of text brightness. I have made a small test case below. (Obviously) You will need to embed the Arial font in your compiled SWF for the below code to work.[code]You can see an example of the problem by rolling over the graphical element here: url..It's not really an option to change to AntiAliasType.NORMAL as it makes the text way less readable at this point size.

View 0 RepliesWe create Flash games which are embedded within third party wrapper SWF files, which are exported for FP9.If I create an FP10 SWF which uses classes specific to FP10 (Pixel Bender classes such as Shader, ShaderData), when I run them in an FP9 wrapper within an FP10 player, an error is thrown VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.display::Shader could not be found.I thought this may be something to do with ApplicationDomains - maybe the child SWF was forced into using the global classes from the parent SWF, but assigning a new ApplicationDomain to the child didn't make any difference. Is there any way to get access to these FP10 classes - or does the version of the outermost wrapper SWF always determine what's available to child SWFs? It seems odd that the FP10 classes are not available in a FP10 player.
