I have made a tween using the new tween feature in CS4. I would like the tween to end on an exact copy of the original key frame so that it will loop seamlessly but I just cant figure out how to do this. I am unable to just recreate the keyframe because the object has rotated and moved to much to. I can do this with a classic tween but cant achieve the same effect.
View 1 RepliesIt seems seek() on mp4 file seeks to the closest keyframe (seekpoint). Is it possible to seek to exact position in between of keyframes?
View 2 RepliesI have two files one is called tween_start.fla and the other is called tween_end.fla I am trying to create a motion tween where the animation begins at tween_start.fla and ends at tween_end.fla Each file consists of 7 shapes (it's a tangram if you're curious). At frame 10 of the tween_start.fla timeline I right-click on each layer and do Insert Blank Keyframe. Then I go to tween_end.fla click on a shape and do Modify>Convert to Symbol. Then I go back to the timeline for tween_start.fla, right-click on frame 10 and do Paste Frames or Insert Keyframe. If I do Paste Frames with all of the symbols I've created in tween_end.fla then the shapes end up stacked on top of each other. If I do Insert Keyframe it doesn't insert the symbol I've just created, instead it just keeps the same shapes that were at the first frame of tweet_start.fla. So how do I insert the symbols from tween_end.fla into the tenth frame of tweet_start.fla and then execute a motion tween between the frames?
View 3 RepliesI'm just creating a simple navigation bar. When you scroll over a button (in this case "cai_btn") the other buttons drop to the bottom of the screen. But when I try to run this script the items drop to the same place and overlap. They also don't return to the original state, they move in the right direction, just completely off screen. Here's a link to what it does now: [URL]

View 3 RepliesWhy is it that sometimes I can clear a keyframe and sometimes not. Not being able to clear a keyframe seems to happen when I copy and paste frames from more than one layer. The keyframe in the first layer copied can't be cleared.
View 1 RepliesIs there no way to do this from the timeline? I have a layer on the timeline with a MovieClip. It's set for motion tweening. On Frame 30 it has a keyframe for all tween properties ( rotation, scale, position, etc ).I want to copy those and set them on frame 1 using the Timeline editor.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to get just a single pose from an armature layer without copying the whole layer. I just want the exact arrangement of symbols from a specific frame of the armature layer alone; in one keyframe; without the armature; into a normal layer. I tried a few things, like breaking apart and copying the individual keyframe (ctrl+click on the frame I want and "copy pose"). I thought about converting an armature layer into a frame-by-frame animation so I can just copy the one frame like I want, but it's apparently not an option. When I tried the break apart option it just breaks down the first frame of the armature layer into one big vector graphic. I've even tried highlighting every frame except the one I want to use and pressing Shift+F5. Nothing I've tried so far works.
This is annoying because if I don't find a solution, I will have to take each separate symbol used in this frame of the armature layer and individually align them all in the exact same position in the normal layer
I have a simple flash that has 2 layers 2 images. one image is on the first frame and the other image is on the second keyframe. Actionscript starts on 1st keyframe. What I have it doing is loading frame one stop() reads the actionscript checks the date if the date is met it goes and stops on frame 2 and plays other image:
Everytime the flash refreshes it plays frame one then jumps to frame 2 if the date is met. How do I avoid playing frame one if the date is met what it's doing is playing the first image before the date change and a split second after it plays frame 2. (you see a hiccup)
i need the flash to "preload, check the actionscript before it loads if the date is met automataclly go to frame 2 avoiding frame one all together.
actionscript used on frame one:
stop();
var year:Number = 2012;
var month:Number = 3;
var day:Number = 22;

i am creating a game now this is complex but i have been told by my fellow actioncript co worker that its doable, What it is i have a game "Reaction Tester" and It is inside a car going along the road so its psudeo 3d and i have the "walls" and road sorted now i want a movie clip in the road to throw out random objects From a Movie clip, now i will call them from frame names, say..
frame 1-10 is a tween with a box coming down and then frame 11-20 is a cat and frame 21-30 is a hole in the road Etc i want it to call a random frame to frame, to play
i'm making a game and to score some extra performance im rendering every frame of every entity into an array of bitmapdata's the first time the frame is seen, and it works well, but its wasting alot of memory because we have alot of animations, and most of them are double framed at least, so more than half of the bitmaps could be ignored if there was a way to determine if a frame is a keyframe or not
View 3 RepliesA web channel streaming service streams to a certain IP range, it only checks the IP in example.com/cmd.php?id=xxx (channel number) and outputs an rtmpe stream URL, nothing else.How do I trick it to get my local URL instead of the one on their server? I have considered squid proxy, but is there some way to do it with a firefox plugin or greasemonkey script?
Edit:I will try to specify:It's a streaming service from an ISP and cable provider. They stream for free to people on their IP's. On their webtv page, which is called webtv.example.com, there is a flash player. If you are not on an IP from their ISP, you can't stream anything but the test channel.When you try to change channel via. javescript:videoplayer_changechannel(xxx) it makes this HTTP request:
[URL]
If you are on one of their IP's you will get an RTMP URL, like this:
[URL]
This is what the flash player requests, and if it get's this response it load the channel requested. There is no HTML on the php page, just the URL. Note that the rtmp URL is static.If you are not on one of their IP's it will return a random sentence (something stupid, the programmers having fun).I wan't to trick the flash player into getting the right value, even though it's not on one of the ISP's IP's.
When I place some codes in a keyframe, these codes are showing on all the following frames up till the next keyframe with codes. My question is, does Flash execute codes only in the keyframe or it execute whatever is in the frame regardless whether its a keyframe or not?

View 0 RepliesI'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.
I have 2 keyframes on my timeline.The first keyframe has an input text field (instance name: inputTxt) and a button (instance name: btnTester).When the user clicks the button it takes them to the second keyframe where their text should be displayed in a dynamic text box (instance name: txtBox).I get a null value in keyframe 2.
View 3 Repliesi need to copy a "dynamic text" using copy button. how can i do it ?
View 5 Replieson my stage are 5 buttons, each with the name of a product. i want to be able to hover over each product and see a Description of the product with a "learn more" link at the bottom of the description. the problem is that i want the Descriptions for each product to appear in the exact same place.
if the hit area of each button covers only the button itself, you can't click the "learn more" link because it disappears when you move off the buttonif the hit area of each button covers the Description area, the hit areas overlap each other. this causes the Description to always show the same thing (i think it is the Description of the last button i added) if you are hovering over anything besides an actual button.
I've got a problem when I need to display (19.99 * 100 - 1999) on the screen. When I trace it, it will show -2.27373675443232e-13. The problem is that 19.99*100 != 1999. I can use Number(( 19.99*100 ).toString()) to get 1999 exactly using Action Script 2, but this method failed using Action Script 3.
View 3 RepliesI have decided to give XML a go, so I thought I would start with something small : ) and give creating a dynamic menu a try.
I load my menu headings using textField and I can not get my code to find out the actual length of each menu heading. It all produces 100. I wanted to get each individual lengths so I can divide it by 2 and positon that to the center of my menu buttons.
I am also try to turn my menu buttons into buttons, so I can add my eventlisteners, but it doesnt seem to work. The menu text seems to get in the way, even though I made them non selectable.

Any way to get the exact position for every character inside a textflow?, also I'm having trouble with the TLF documentation, is there anny documentation that shows more on how to work with it in actionscript rather than mxml, I am looking to write my own component and perhaps not use richtexteditor if I don't need to. How to get each characters position in the textflow:
private function getCharPosition():void {
for (var i:int=0; i<=textController.flowComposer.numLines; i++) {
var textFlowLine:TextFlowLine = textController.flowComposer.findLineAtPosition(i);
var textLine:TextLine = textFlowLine.getTextLine();
trace('number of atoms in this line: ' + textline.atomCount);
[Code] .....
This returns an error that's why I have try and cache, I have tried to change textLine.atomCount to -1 but that wont work either. Now I don't know what character exactly that I have the position for.

I have a text box called whatToClick which contains the words (copy and pasted) SWEATSHIRT. As such, that should trigger checkMask(), which checks if the clicked item is the same as the one in the text box. While running various trace commands, the string traces out exactly the same, capitals and all. But this always runs the else instead, which means the if isn't true. [URL]

id like to mask an exact shape so i can do some cool animations that are only seen over that shape.
example:
lets say i have a big letter 'P' that i made in photoshop and import it into flash. i made the background transparent and saved it as a .png file. so then i place a 'P' on stage that i want to be visible and i place another one directly on top of it to act as the mask. when i use set mask in this situation it doesnt use the shape of a 'P' is uses a box of some weird dimension.

I would like to have a possibility, where a user could draw simple lines, but with exact length (5000mm, 3150mm, 3950mm etc).where a user could just click and see the lines. Together these lines would make a floor plan for a house. These lines don't have to have thickness, because it will be just a sketch where walls are located. After user has drawn the sketch i would need the program to generate a text file with coordinates of the lines.
