Copy A Single Keyframe Without An Armature In Flash CS5 OR Convert To Frame-by-frame?
Nov 3, 2010
I 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

My objective is to paste together several ( a lot, actually ) armature animations, each in a separate symbol.I have no idea how to do it, armature layers are a bit... strange. So i see only one solution: convert it to a regular layer.

Is there a way to copy a single frame from an flv embedded video?
Every time I copy a single frame it always indicates "Copy Frames" insteead of "Copy Frame". When I paste the frame, all of the flv embedded video gets copied instead of the lone frame.

I want to call a function once per frame between keyframe 1 and keyframe 60, but i don't want to have to create a keyframe on EVERY single frame in between with an action calling the function. is there a simple way like tweening, to make this function execute once on every frame without having to make 60 unique keyframes?

I'm having trouble with something that should be incredibly basic, yet i have no idea how to solve my problem.
[Code]...
it shows x as being 3 when you hit the button but it reverts back right away, so it looks like gotoAndPlay(2) is still playing frame
1. how do i stop it from reseting my variables?

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?

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

I created a multi symbol model character and rigged it with bones. Now when i add a keyframe, some of the symbols (hand, belly) disapear in the new frame. also, some of the symbols return to 100% alpha when they should stay invisible (handles for legs, arms etc.)

I have an problem whereby I have created a Frame by Frame dancing human figure and now I want to move it across the screen as well as scale it using a Tween.
I have spent quite some time slightly adjusting the upper arms, forearms, hands, legs etc and creating a new keyframe for each movement. All the movements are all in one layer... ie the forearm doesn't have it's own layer etc. I am running the animation at 24fps so there is quite bit going on.
I now realise that I should have created a symbol/movie clip from the first image I created and then scaled and moved the image first before animating it's limbs but I only realized that after hours of work and I would hate to start all over again.
So basically what I have is a dancing human figure in the one spot moving it's arms and legs and I want it to move across the screen and become larger by scaling it using a Tween. I could of course re-edit each keyframe by slightly scaling and the slightly moving the figure but that will take quite some time to get right as there will be a fair bit of trial and error doing it that way.

In the old motion model it was as easy as highlighting all of the frames, converting them to keyframes then removing the tween. But I have no clue how to do it with the new motion model.

can you copy the armature layer and past it on the same layer to make longer?

This has been a complaint since CS4. Maybe you finally fixed it in CS5.5? I'm in CS5, and cannot copy a group of layers with the "copy frames" option as I would with any other layer(s). So a bone tool animation I've done on the main timeline cannot be copied and turned into a mc symbol. A simple, basic process. I can export my MC and import, then it comes in as stills, increases file size, not editable. I'm sure the answer is "plan ahead." The answer should be, "Of course you can do that, that's always been a normal method of working in Flash." Flash is dieing as a web tool, and falling short as an animation tool.

one thing that always annoyed me and that I never sought an answer for is, occasionally, when I want to play a single frame of a symbol, it won't stay on the frame I want. It will automatically default back to whatever frame # it is originally on.I read that it was because it has something to do tweening automatically syncing and snapping and I just have to turn it off. However, I can't figure out how to do that.

I am working on a character that I will animate with bones. I painted the parts (left them as vector shapes), kept them all separate from each other on different layers and not touching. Added bones to each part. Flash made the armature layers each time. This is all inside a movie clip.I now want to copy and paste each part with bones/armature into a new movie clip so I can make mini animations, like a walk cycle, for example with out having to keep redoing all of my work. Somehow - I did this once.
I selected, copied, switched into the empty movieclip pasted it and there is was - armature layer, bones with object. All there. Moves fine When I tried to do it with the next part on a new layer, it just copied the vector shape with no bones. It is making me crazy. How do I copy and paste or duplicate an armature? I did it once, so I can be done...I included screen shots of the parts and the new movie clip - the body went with the bones (automatically made an armature layer when pasting) the leg did not.Attachments:creen shot 2010-01-01 at 2.51.20 PM.png (38.1 K)

In Flash Actionscript 3, if a function is defined in Frame 1 of a flash animation and the animation loops, does it store another version of the function in memory upon each loop.
[Code]...
If so, is it a best practice to check to see if it's the first time the frame has been run, by setting a variable and checking it's existence, or is it a non-issue because the compiler checks to make sure that a function has not already been defined?

can flash take each frame and export it out as a image ? In my case, I want to create sprite images for a flashdevelop project using blitting. Of course I know there is a solution for this. like copy and paste each shape into a image editor such as photoshop and turn them into png's. But I am just seeing if there is a simpler means of doing so.

I used the liquid Flash layout file from this site , but i got one problem.I placed the script in a layer called actionscript and on frame 1, under it there is a other layer called background. I placed in just a square with a gradient color and made it a movieclip. I also placed this on frame 1. Everything is working perfect from this point but when i want to place a keyframe on frame 10 in the background layer and make a motion tween so that the background fades in from 0 opacity to 100, it doesn't work.

I am in the end of my development of a script that parses out large amounts of data from the timeline with AS3. This data is then used for an animation in corona. We have several of animations in the timeline, and we are splitting those by frame labels. That means that all objects are in place and often, there is no use of them and those movieclips is missing keyframes. My script parses out everything, but I just want the data thats has some value.
detect if a current frame in a layer is a keyframe or not? If not, get rid of data that we are not animating.

I want to to have 3 x 3 Frame Keyframe animations (very simple) with a title keyframe in between each one. What I am struggling with is that instead of repeating the keyframes lots of times and having a huge project I want to repeat each 2 Keyframe animation 30 times (making it a minute long) before moving onto the text keyframe and then the next 2 keyframe animation to loop 30 times before moving on... I then want the whole thing to loop.
What code do you use in Flash CS3 (ActionScrpit 3.0) to acheive this for each set of keyframes? To keep it simple they are all one one layer.

I need to a keyframe to pause (for say 20 seconds) when the frame is entered (i.e. not a button press, etc). After the 20 seconds is up, i need the timeline to continue playing to the next keyframe. I've searched and searched for setinterval and the like, but i could not find a clear answer.

What I want to have happen is when you mouse down on the button/MC the block_mc will first jump to frame 40 and then it needs to check and stop when the block_mc reaches frame 12. I have attached a simplified version of what I was trying to do

I am trying to make a game to learn actionscript. my game is going to have multiple keyframes, ie one for dungeon, 1 for a large map yadda yadda yadda. Things like the character i would like to be available to all keyframes. i am assuming i put the character variable and info in the first keyframe and refer to these via _root in any frame. However if i want to make a dungeon and use the dungeon scene variables i would use this.
right now since i am only on the making a dungeon part i can refer to anything using this or _root. Case: my dungeon scene consists of walls and paths. right now i can do something like if(_root["path" + yPos + xPos]) _root["path" + yPos + xPos].removeMovieClip;
i can also call the same code using this instead of _root and it works. when i add a main new main frame and move the dungeon scene from frame 1 to frame 10, will i still be able to inter use _root and this and have the same effect, or once i move the dungeon scene from frame 1 to frame 10 i will no longer be able to use _root. also i only have 1 layer.

I have a banner as the header on a website. The file is about 150K. I want the banner to load (relatively) instantly (without the animations). My current solution is to take a screenshot of the first frame and create a preloader that just displays the screenshot. A really simple solution to this would be a setting (or something) that just caches the first frame as a bitmap and loads that first, then displays it until the entire file is loaded.

I have just finished a movie, and want to duplicate it to some other frames.Its a movieclip on frame 1 and it contains a kind of work-calender for 2011 with a lot of different movieclips inside - I want to place a combobox in it where the user can choose what year he wants to see.Is there a easy way to copy frame 1 and just altering the different textfields and data to fit the new year or do I have to duplicate every movieclip and rename functions and variables in AS for the entire movie?
