I am using some tutorial from lynda for making tween animation for my inspiration on making web site in CS4 but in my 2-3 project I have same problem. Sometimes my tween crash in middle of animation? Is this beacouse I have to much code in timeline?
View 8 RepliesI finish web site and I have one problem sometimes when you click from button to button my tween animation frozen in the middle? I have no errors on code, I try 2 compilers( one on windows second on MAC) but i cant see what is wrong??? I print screen of my broken tween and you can see it in folder "example"... [URL]. Here is my swf, fla, images and example of broken tween animation.
View 3 RepliesI have an object with 500 Frames. I gave it a Motion Tween. Now I want to cut it down to 100 frames,without changing the Tween duration. Usually you can insert a blank keyframe, or remove the last 400 frames on that layer. But since it's a Motion Tween you cannot?
WTH is going on with Flash's timeline editor, this is ridiculously unintuitive.
I've used Flash before to create animations but it has been a long time. I've been asked to create a very simple animation using two images, one of a broken PC and one of a fixed PC. I want the broken PC to come in from the left and then fade into the fixed image of the PC which will be centred. I know this is very very simple but I can not for the life of me remember how to do animation, motion tweening etc. I have the two images and I've tried importing them, converting them to movie symbols etc but it doesn't go to plan. The animation needs to be between 1 - 3 seconds long at 12 fps. The document size is 550 x 400, standard I believe. I am using Macromedia Flash 8 Professional.
View 3 RepliesI will have three seperate pages for the motion tween, mask effect and shape tween... would you make the seperately, in a different scene, as a symbol or on the same scene with the website.
View 2 RepliesOn a horizontal bar, text scrolls from left to right, continuously. The text is a fixed string of city names, and I've made it so that it loops nicely. This horizontal bar with scrolling text is part of a vertical animation, scrolling the bar in and out of view. The vertical tween starts after two seconds. When the vertical tween starts, the horizontal animation has started as well. At the beginning and end of the vertical tween, the horizontal tween starts over. I want it to continu.
View 1 RepliesI am new to Actionscript and am working with AS3 in Flash CS3 to produce a portfolio website. Basically I have my flash set up with a 3x3 grid (9 boxes about 450px by 450px each box) and each box will have info and basically be a page that will be displayed in the masked area I have made. I have already got the navigation working but I want to make it tween to each page with a deceleration effect. The following is my code for my navigation which currently works fine:
Code:
stop();
function goTopRight (e:MouseEvent):void{
[code]....
I'm trying to adapt a tutorial I found on this website entitled Complex Button Rollover - Rollout Effects The effect I am trying to achieve is instead of linking the animation to a website I wan't to be able to navigate to another scene. The bit of the actions I've been changing in the downloaded fla is this,
Code:
this.onRelease = function(){ getURL("http://www.kirupa.com","_blank"); }
To this,
Code:
this.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop("Scene 2", 1);
}
But this doesn't seem to work when I click it just seems to refresh the animation. I have got Stop(); at the beginning of both scenes.
getting the current x position value of the tween object during the animation using Tweener.I want to move a movieclip across the stage, and at a certain x position, i.e. x=600, a new movieclip is added to the stage and chases behind the first one.
My current code looks like this:
Code:
import caurina.transitions.*;
import caurina.transitions.properties.CurveModifiers;

I'm writing a private website.I want to add an animation of a paper (which moves a bit in its conrners).I paln the user to add some text in the text area in that animated paper.My program will read the text and save it.The next time the user comes I'll show him this animated paper with the text he wrote.
1) As a newbie to animation. Should I use flasf? Is there a nice freeware and simple alternative? I saw this site but thought maybe someone can tell from his own experience
2) How can I include text area in an animated paper?
3) How can fill animated paper with the saved data later on ?
I'm building a website and decided I was going to work with a pre-built web template. Problem is, as I painfully found out, my host wants the file structure of the site a very certain way (html pages in the root directory, media-files folder, image-files folder, support-files folder following that). I had to go through the template and recode a good bit of it myself (only knowing HTML, while the site is written in HTML, CSS, Java, and Flash). I've gotten the vast majority of the site working now.. on my computer at least.
I went through the flash file and corrected the directories so it could find the background pictures it needs and saved the file. Now, when I hit CTRL+Enter in CS4, the preview comes up correction and works flawlessly. However, when I bring the file up in firefox, the flash animation is STILL missing the background images. Also, I need to move a related file to the flash animation into another folder, but when I do that the text disappears, even after correcting the directory in flash.
The template I'm working with can be found here : Click. The flash animation in question is on the mid-left side of that page, where you can click the arrow to proceed through 4 different slides. Also having problems with the logo of the site, where the text will disappear if I move the related file I was talking about (A text file).
Here are pictures of the problem:
No background: Click
No Background/No text (moved text file, corrected directory): Click
What I see in Flash CS4: Click
I've also tested the site in Internet Explorer, same problem. I'm guessing there's probably a simple fix for this, but being unfamiliar with flash I just don't know it...
I have created a preloader which works fine when I test it.How do I go about adding it to the start of a website/animation?
View 1 RepliesI am using Flash 8 and would like to create an animation for my future website.What I would like to do is the following:
I want to create an animated menu looking similar to the attached flash animation. The menu buttons will be a variety of 11 images arranged in an oval circle with the website logo located in the center of this oval circle. The mentioned oval circle should spin either left or right depending on which side of the animation the mouse pointer is located and stop if the mouse pointer is in the center/middle of the animation.
As the images move to the front (during the circular but slightly tilted motion) they should have a similar zoom in effect like the one in the attached animation and zoom out again when moving back into the background.
I am sure that this kind of animation is very simple when using Action Script but I am not such an advanced user to know what code I would need to write.
Trying to start an animation after a tween is done. Animation starts but way later, like 5 seconds after tween is finished.
Code:
var easeInPic:Tween = new Tween(bg, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 100, 1000, false );
easeInPic.stop();
function showPic(e:Event):void{
tweenPicEI();
}function tweenPicEI ():void{
easeInPic.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, showMenuBar);
easeInPic.start();
}function showMenuBar(e:TweenEvent):void{
menuBar.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
I'm trying to make an animation and it seems like an impossible task. I'm not a beginner, and this is harder than it first seems to be.So this is what I need: to make a tween between a partial small circle to a big circle. What I mean is I want to use the Oval Primitive tool and on frame 1 I'll have a circle (radius 100px) with Start Angle: 0 and End Angle: 230 and on frame 50 I'll need the same 100px circle with Start Angle: 0 and End Angle: 300.
View 1 RepliesI got mcMaine that contains 5 other mc. Each of these mc contains animation tween in them.
I would like to make each animation start playing, individually, on a specific frame, in the main timeline.
Does tweening take more space to do than to animate with AS? Also, frames that are not wanted, do they take space too? I want to know because smaller the file faster the loading, right?

View 5 RepliesI have created an image in photoshop (96dpi, same as my monitor) and imported it as a png into flash where it becomes a bitmap. Once I had imported the image I went to library and allowed smoothing on the image and set it to lossless. It performs a motion tween and simply flys from one side of my movie to the other. However, the whole way it appears pixelated. I had done this on a previous movie with the same image, just with a different animation and I had the same problem. But in this case the 'allow smoothing' worked. Not this time though.
View 1 RepliesI have four movie clips with instance names of "purple_ob", "green_ob", "orange_ob" and "blue_ob" and four buttons "purple_but", "green_but", "orange_but" and "blue_but" I want to have the movie clips automatically fade from one to another continually with a 5 second pause inbetween, but then if the user clicks one of the four buttons it will fade the relevant movieclip in. Then if nothing else is pressed the fading will carry on working through the four images in a loop.
So far I have the movie clips fading on a button press but how do I implement the automatic fading from one MC to another?

Is there a way to export it as AVI or any file type that support HD and get the same out put in SWF, i tried to export but the final output is very weak
View 3 RepliesI am trying to make a banner where two colored squares roll across the screen. The first blue square does just fine, however when trying the same thing with a green square (in a different layer) it does ok the first half of the tween, but reverses direction in the second half (where I placed a keyframe)- even though I rotated the green square the same way as the first half.
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to create a website to display my architectural portfolio and I'm having troubles with a ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT EventListener. I have attached my fla file for you to look at to get have a better understanding of what I'm trying to explain.
What I'm trying to create are project thumbnails that when you roll over the thumbnail movieClip it will expand the other project thumbnails to the right allowing room for a brief summary. Also, the roll over will trigger a function inside the proj1 movieClip that plays the mc timeline, which simply removes a translucent colored layer (classic tween) to expose the project thumbnail in color. (You might want to reference the attached file) The problem I'm have is in the movement of the other thumbnail.
Problems are as followed:
A. When I roll off the thumbnail_mc the other thumbnails don't come back to their original locations.
B. The roll_over only works once. I would like to have it so that every time you roll over it, the proceeding project thumbnails should move to the right, and when you roll off, they should move back to the left to their original locations.
Now, I'm not sure if a if statement is the best way to move the other thumbnail or if I should use a tween. I tried some simple tweens off to the side, which you will see, but I can't get a addChild MovieClip to tween...I believe it has something to do with the instance name, which I'm not sure how to give an instance name to a movieclip that is a addChild...?
Attaching swf and fla for your reference.I am developing a animation with 4 MovieClips... on mouseover of movieclip it will grow and adjacent movieclips will move and shrink...I am able to develop the code...BUT....
1. On quick mouseover/mouseout event I am not able to stop the growing & shrinking of other movieclips.
2. Also I want attach a movieclip such that when I'll click on ONE .. a maximised Movieclip will open.
I want to create animation of the text where at frame 1, letter spacing is 0 and at frame 200, letter spacing is 60 for specified text. This process is unsuccessful via motion tween in cs4 flash, and i guess neither in earlier versions, nor that I have done that before. But I was certain that it would be very straight forward to achieve via motion tween, so far it feels that I was wrong and for such simple animation and straight forward concept, why it doesn't work, again, via motion tween. I presume I can write AS3 code spinet that would run every frame and increase or decrease property value for letterSpacing, to achieve the effect. Why such basic manipulation of text can not be done via motion tween?
View 1 RepliesI decided to make a sliding, growing flash of light slide from the right of the underline to the left then fade out.My brother has dabbled in flash and says that, using key frames, I could do something like have the light be a layer that I manipulate over a certain amount of frames. His other option was to make individual frames and just use flash as a frame organizer or gif animator.
