Nov 2, 2010Would it be better to make long(5+ minutes) animations all in one file on the same timeline, or to make sections and assemble them later?

Aug 1, 2010I'm trying to play a 10 minute long video (h264/mp4) which is 39MB in size, after I call stream.play(fileURL) it doesn't start playback until its loaded around 12-16MB of the file (many many seconds later), I finally get onMetaData at this point too. Why doesn't it begin playback right away, or at least w/in a couple seconds? What can cause this bloated lead in time?

Sep 29, 2006"Instead of laboring many hours tracing a bitmap in Illustrator or Freehand, you can use a little known Flash tool to convert a bitmap into a vector - the Trace Bitmap Tool. There are two reasons you may prefer vector over bitmap in your flash movies. One: to achieve a cool look. Two: to lower your file size."
you put that text in a text field in flash but you will need to have links on the word flash and illustrator and freehand... how do you do the links? do you convert all the text to a graphic and then transform the works that you want in buttons??

so all i want is to make a small round ring rotate as long as the file is loading. so i looked and followed a lot tutorials but all the preloaders tutorials are much more compliceted then i need. they all have persentige sowing, and a bar that is filling according to how much the file has loaded, and colors changing etc. so i tried to take from the tutorials wat i need for my simple preloader to work but i get stuck.i built the animation of the rotating ring, but i get stuck with the actions i need to make the animation work as long as the file is working. i called my ring animation "circularloader". here is a image of the page with the ring:
Professional :: Make A Minute Long Animation Of Two Koi Fish - Slowly Swim In Frame
Feb 21, 2011I'm trying to make about a minute long animation of two koi fish.
1. Fish slowly swim in frame
2. Fish swim in circle a couple times
3. 4 food pellets drop into water
4. Fish eat them one at a time
5. Fish slowly swim out of frame
I've finished step 2, but now I want to go back and do step 1. I've attatched a picture of my koi and I was wondering if there was any way I could flip the image of them and tween them to make it look like the fish were moving their bodies all in flash.

Apr 28, 2005I've only used flash for 5 months now. As you expect, i'm a super novice. I've been trying to follow the books, tutorials i fould on web and was able to make some nice animations,buttons and stuff. But i'm not a programmer, i never been one and i just don't think i got the brains for it. I just know a little bit. Like i said, it's only been 5 months so i only know how to change other's script to suit mine, i can't create any complicated from top of my head. My question is...do I HAVE TO be an expert to make websites with Flash? After all, i'm only learning Flash so I can make interactive websites. I'm not looking forward to making games or drawing boards or anything. Just websites. How much knowledge of Actionscript(or XML) would I need to make a flash only website?

Calling Certain Animations In Other Animations
Apr 8, 2009anywhoo i have minimal actionscript training tho i know a bit... im trying to make an Item system were i make an object like a key or a helmet... and if i collide with it it disapears. and i get the item, then somewhere put _root.playerMC.standing.gotoAndPlay ("item"); .. maybe in the item i dunno..
so basically i set my characters up like playerMC then in that animation i have a body head arms and legs.. and in those i have different items equipped on each body part on each frame how should i set this up!!!.. i cant call those items deep in the animation the farthest i can go is like Playermc.gotoandplay ("walk") when i try to do like.. playermc.walking.head.gotoandplay ("item") it doesnt work..
Skipping Around A Long Flv?
Jun 2, 2009I am working on a project wherein a long (40-50min) flv plays inside a flash interface. I have a set of buttons that I would like to use to skip to different parts of the video as it plays, this works fine on my local machine using cue points but of course online I cannot jump to sections that have not yet been buffered, I'd like to be able to do this if possible. I'm looking at a couple of options at the moment...1, Use a content delivery network that offers a flash media server, as I believe this will sidestep this issue, however this will cost money that isn't really available for this project.2, Split the long movie file up into chunks and have my navigation buttons load a new flv onClick.If I go for option 2 is there any way of keeping a cumulative progress bar running as if it was all one video.
View 11 RepliesLong SWF Freezes Near End
Sep 21, 2009I have a long timeline based animation, about 23 minutes in full. When I test or publish the movie, the SWF freezes with about one and a half minutes of playback time left. The streaming audio, however, continues to play.I know that the error isn't due to some sort of errant stop action at that point in the animation because I have it broken up into several scenes, and if I test the final scene by itself, it does not freeze and plays back correctly. Also, if I rearrange the scenes, the SWF still freezes about 21 minutes and 20 seconds into the animation, which, after rearranging, corresponds to a different point in the animation.

View 2 RepliesCS3 Animating To A Long Soundtrack
Oct 14, 2010I've been given a complete soundtrack, about 15 minutes long, complete with background music and dialog.I'm animating the whole thing as once scene so that I can keep all the dialog synced up. My question is, what's the best way to organize my animation?The way I've been doing it, I try to keep my objects on their own layers organized into folders, but even so I end up with a very large and confusing amount of stuff in the layers.But should I just be cutting the soundtrack into scenes and animating the movie using scenes instead?I've never actually used scenes.If I cut the soundtrack how would I avoid audio glitches when the whole animation plays back?

IDE :: Scrollbar Content Too Long?
Sep 15, 2009I have a scrollbar in which a very long list which I can't make any shorter / smaller.roblem is, the script for the scroller demands that I place the text at 0,0 on the Flash axis, and the lenght of the text makes it run way down to the lower edge of the Flash workingfield.Somehow this makes the text run 'beyond reach' of the scrollbar; the scroller only shows about 2/3 of the list, and does not show the text beyond that point.How can I extent the reach of the scrollbar??? Can I shift the 0,0 point of the Flash axis (maybe place it higher, so the text falls into the more 'reasonable' regions of the workingfield of Flash?)

ActionScript 3.0 :: ByteArray Reading Long Value?
Dec 28, 2011I have a java server sending the time with:long time = System.currentTimeMillis();I put this in a packet. It takes up the first 8 bytes of the packet and send it to the as3 client.Then in as3 I read the packet but since there is no readLong function with ByteArray, I can only think of reading it with readDouble to read the first 8 bytes of the packet. I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it.
I compared it with the time from AS3's function: Date().time;The time I get from AS3's Date().time is different than the time I receive from reading the packet with the time sent from the java server.I'm not sure if I'm using the wrong time functions or reading the packet wrong.

num = 32000
this.createEmptyMovieClip ("Envolvente", 100);
this.Envolvente.lineStyle(0,0x00CC00,100, false, "none",

Other Options For Very Long Gallery Slide?
Jun 7, 2010I have a gallery slide that is going to be greater than 4000px in length. I have a slide movie instance that I script to slide from right to left.
This method require two slides to make them appear to loop seamlessly. So that is 8000px wide in total. I remember that Flash can only slide movie instance 3000px wide.
What other options do I have to allow for this type of slide length. Inside the slide movie instance, it contains all my images and text that are positioned differently from each other.

Actionscript :: Validating A Number For Long?
Jun 2, 2011I have generated actionscript (AS3) beans from the Serverside(java).
Now some of the classes had (Long,long,double) which I had to convert into Number on the Actionscript side (as we dont have long ,double etc ) on AS3 side.
Now I have to validate Number on AS3 side to match type on Serverside .
Let take example I have a field
private long number ;
in java which is converted as
private number:Number ; on AS side
this will accept number as (Double Long etc) but we know that we cannot fit Double into long on java
so I am wondering is there anyway we can validate AS3 Number to be valid "Long" on Acrionscript side ?
