CS4 - Trying To Make A Simple Walking Animation Symbol?
Aug 12, 2009
I've searched everywhere online, and can't find the help for this!
I've found some videos, but they did not seem to offer any sort of help for me.
I still cannot for the life of me figure out how to take 3 images, and make them into a simple walking animation and to convert that to one symbol.
Can anyone offer their help to me please so I can get my project going?
I'm using CS4, and all articles I can find are of the older versions of flash.

I am trying to make a walking animation for a character with customizable parts. I can't seem to get this code to work correctly:
[Code]...
playerStance defines if the character is idle or walking, in this case walkingchar is a MC containing 2 frames : idle and walk (the frames contain MC:s for the current animation, in this case charwalk)charwalk contains 2 keyframes and the others are filler frames, the keyframes in this case are 1 and 16charwalk contains layers for all of the character parts, for example bottom1 (is located in frame 1)all of the parts contain frames for every variation of that partin every frame of the parts is a code : stop(); to prevent them from playing when I gotoAndPlay charwalkWhen I play this and update the parts after changing parameters, the algorithm returns a right value, but the parts don't go to the correct frames. Instead they are kept in the first frame.

i have an movie clip instanced as "man" I have made him so that he has a Idle and Walk frame like this. He can also move left/right. (I also made him attack but that is irrelevant);[code]I need it to loop through the "walk" frames until i lift up the left/right key then go back to "idle" position. What happens is that it will go through the loop once and than go to idle even if I haven't lifted the key.[code]

The first question: How do you make a symbol a looping animation? Say I want to make a short loop which I can repurpose later.. something such as a falling raindrop or a moving mouth. A webseries I enjoyed when I was younger, Bonus Stage, used the same moving mouth animation most of the series.. I'd like to learn how to make that.
The second, and I'd like to take advantage of the tag on the link leading to this forum that reads "there is no such thing as a stupid question in here"... How do you change the size of the brush tool?

I am currently making a platformer game but I can't seem to get a walking animation for my character. So far I have made a character which can move fine. Inside the characters movie clip are 2 frames (one standing and one walking) Now my problem is that I can get my character to move right and play the walking animation but when I walk left the walking animation doesn't play but the character still moves. I am using action script 2 and flash pro 8
onClipEvent (load) {
var ground:MovieClip = _root.ground;
var grav:Number = 0;
var gravity:Number = 2;
var speed:Number = 7;

I have two MovieClips, and both are controlled by keyboard events. One is a globe that I want to rotate in one direction or the other. The second is a walking animation that should change direction or stand still depending on which key is pressed or if none are.
Here is the AS Code:
/*var rightDown:Boolean = false;
var leftDown:Boolean = false;
var upDown:Boolean = false;
var downDown:Boolean = false;*/
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);
[Code] .....
You can see that I've tried a few different methods, but neither has worked correctly. Using the timer came close, but then the globe kept speeding up, and I couldn't get the walking animation to default back to the standing animation. Here is the .fla [URL].

I am getting familiar with the Flash animations I am trying to make a simple animation within the text input area i.e.
1.FAN BASE
2.FA NBASE
What I want is the letter N to move slowly towards letter B.I have done motion tweening but it doesn't work -either the whole text is moving left right or the letter N is simply skipping to the second position without smooth animation.( there's no error on motion tween by the way)

I made an animation on the main stage and I need to convert it to a movieclip but Im having an issue. The animation consists of 3 layers one of which is a classic motion guide. Another layer is a ball that follows the guide.
I followed these adobe website instructions- [URL]
But when I play the movieclip my ball no longer follows the guide. Is it possible to convert an animation with a guide layer to a symbol?

I've been playing with a tutorial to create a rain effect in Flash which I've managed to do.. however, I'm wanting to layer it into an animation.The plan is to have a white 'silhouette' of a window frame, behind that a jpg of a scene. I want the 'rain' effect to be positioned behind the window but in front of the jpeg image.
Even though I have each element on seperate layers, in the correct order, it isn't working and the rain is currently visible on top of everything.

I've got a multi-element character animated in its own timeline, within its own symbol --- but it's not showing up in the main timeline, or on the stage when I exit the symbol and go back to the Main movie view. How do I get the symbol's animation to integrate into the main scene?

my company (FB games) has fired everyone who knew what they were doing leaving me, with no knowledge of flash, staring at my to-do list near tears, unable to complete basic tasks.I need to take an existing walk cycle animation and replace the character with another design. After breaking the new character body into symbols, I've tried to sub them in using swap symbol. The body parts do not line up with the previous symbols, and they also seem to go flying all over the place when I run the cycle. I can't figure out how to just update the symbols without disrupting the placement.

I am having trouble getting a simple animation to play properly, on a site designed by someone else, in IE. It works fine in Mozilla and Safari. In IE, on some computers, it shows up but there is a prompt about downloading a Shockwave add-on. On other computers it doesnt show up at all. Going from Mac to PC is also presenting problems. I'm freelance, so it's not like I'm in the office with these other people, so I only know what's going on with the 3 pc's I have at my disposal; which is as described above.

I am simply trying to move symbols around on my Stage, and each time I move one, the "path" is recorded and the object flows on that path when I scrub or play back.
All I would simply like to do is reposition images and symbols with out the movement and animation.

I am making a very simple stick figure animation which will be intended for tv, specifically HDTV 1080p.I have no idea how i did it but I did the animation and before I knew it it was not on scene 1, but on the graphic symbol timeline. I think it is because I made my character a symbol, and i guess everything followed. But when I put them on the stage from the library, only part of the animation shows up, the part with the character i made into a symbol...not only that, but if I copy and paste all the frames from the symbol timeline onto the main timeline, it is HUGE! it doesn't match the size or placement it was on in the other timeline..Also, are there any specific requirements for editing with intent for hdtv? I read you can't use movie clips but as for size, etc? What do you have to set at the beginning and what will change when it is exported or converted for tv?

I have a VERY big animation, with a huge amount of keyframes, and I like to swap a symbol in this animation with another one. If I just use the swap button on the first frame, Flash only swaps the symbol for the first tween, whereas I have hundreds of tweens in my file... So how do I do this for every keyframe in every tween ?

I have a symbol which I want to contain several loops, but when I play it, it simply stands still. Example:[code]As I understand it, if I start the movie clip at frame 1, it should loop frames 1 and 2, and if I start it at frame 3, it should loop frames 3 and 4. Why won't it work ?

See, I have a Symbol- in's an animation of a "Cycler" (bicycle driver) seen from above and I want to use a function to duplicate it with actionscript as needed.
So far so good, has been done before.
But in this Symbol I have "sub-Symbols" on the timeline (within the Cycler's animation)... how would I do it to use a setRGB on one of them for each duplicated driver individually? The way I tried it now (see attached files) makes the animation stop for the sub-Symbols I use setRGB on (in my example the shirt of the left Cycler and the helmet of the right Cycler).
Why does the animation stop? I had a similar problem before and I solved it by coloring a fixed simple square on a layer and the animation for the motion was really a mask, ontop of it... but why doesn't it work like this?
Feel free to test is yourself- I am open to suggestions. The Cyclers are called "Biker_1" and "Biker_2" and the sub-Symbols are called "Helm", "Koerper" and "Rumpf", for the Helmet, the Body and the "Rump" of the Cycler.

My problem relates to an animation that uses the x and y axis.
for(loop =0; loop < 5; loop++){
boxName = "box" + loop;
attachMovie("box", boxName, 10 * loop);
var randomPlace:Number= random(500) + 550;
var NumX:Number = randomPlace;
[Code] .....
What the code above does is displaying small boxes that are moving from the right to the screen to the left, and then they come back again (like a loop I suppose) and each time a 'box' re-appear, it starts off at a random place at the very top of the screen. I want to make it that it drops just from the top to the screen to the bottom. ( Like snow falling from the sky). But I can't get my ahead around the x / y axis. Also, the size of my frame is 550x400.

I'm creating an animation kinda like a travel map, x - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - x .where the x's equal the start and the end point, and the dashs are like your direction etc, a good example is if you've ever seen those pirate movies where they have the maps and it shows where they have to go.is if there is a better way to do it than I currently am (Still finding my way around the whole Animation thing - and I'm sure theres an easier way than this!)
At the moment I'm going frame by frame and in adding objects, so for example, in frame one I have my 'x' object, then frame two I pasted the 'x' object plus one 'dash' objects, and so on and so forth, and I have a feeling that doing this is going to take agessss, and I'm sure there must be an easier way! I essentially need the 'x' object to span across ALL of my frames, is there a command or something for this? I'm not too knowledgeable with tweening, but can it be done with that?

not sure if this is the right place to post this question but here goes! I want to create a simple card flip animation whereby a card slides onto the screen from the right, flips over to reveal a different picture on the other side, flips back and then slides off screen. In fact, the full animation will involve two cards, sliding onto the screen one after the other, then flipping one at a time, flipping back one at a time and then only ONE of them sliding off screen, to the left or right depending on which side of the screen they are on. Can anyone tell me whether this is possible using Flash CS5? I am a total novice at this, and having spent hours and hours on it, I have so far only managed to get a card to slide onto the screen and flip but I don't know how to get it to show a different picture on the other side.

I really don't want something sophisticated, in fact I want the simplest animation for learning purpose:I just want to move a shape on a straight line.Is it possible to do so in pure actionscript (with flex sdk only) by creating a timeline programmatically or without creating timeline ?

I used to code with "Processing" so maybe I keep the same habbit when I code in AS3. I'm not really sure how to animate in a good way using Enterframe. I made a not so complex animation and I am suprised that there is a very bad latency when I run it. Maybe there is something I don't understand when I write Graphics.
At each Enterframe, I write a black rectangle with a 0.3 alpha to progressively erase old lines and just after I draw new lines.
Are these these Graphics lines and Graphics rectangles stay in memory? Do I have to delete it when they visually disapear from the stage?
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;

I've been trying to create a simple text animation using XML and AS3 that I would like to run similar to the swf I've attached with this post. I've tried to look for tutorials similar to this that I can follow but I haven't found anything yet.I can get the xml to load up but I haven't been able to get the name to animate separately. The xml is structured like so.[code]

I have this image gallery that basically puts one image next another in 3 columns 8 rows. The images are selected randomly and so on.... The problem is I have no problem when the code is written without the bezierSlideTo..The images appear next to each other. When I add a simple animation the images appear on top of each other. I can't seem to find where I am making the mistake.

I am trying to rotate a symbol on the x axis mulitple times for an animation I am doing. The problem is everytime I try to do a complete rotation, the symbol rotates fine until I hit 180 degrees, but once I go past that mark, the symbol just starts rotating backwards. Is there a certain way I have to do this in order to get a complete rotation in one direction?
