Is there a way to do a global timeline stretch in CS4 ?
Basically I need to change the animation speed from 12 fps to 25 fps - but I dont wont the movie to play twice as fast, and I don't want to have to manually move each key frame to fix it because it will take forever!
This is a feature I have wanted ever since I first used Flash 4, and I could have sworn that when I read about CS4's new feature, "stretching" the timeline was one! If it's in there, I can't for the life of me figure out how. it's possible to "stretch" a selection of keyframes or not?
Specifically what I mean is this: Say I have an animation with many keyframe tweens in it, and it last 100 frames. Then I decide I need to slow it down and last 200 frames, rather than reposition every keyframe, I would like to select the whole thing and then "scale" left or right and stretch everything to fit 200 frames.
I've created a slideshow with images fading in and out. After competing it, I've decided that I want each the whole thing to run a little longer. Short of changing the FPS, is there a way to stretch the timeline?

View 6 Replies1- how to make a var global to use it in other scripts on the time line?
like this one
var clip_mc = newMovieClip();
how to change that to global to be used in another scripts?
Problem 2:
2- how to kill or destroy or stop or close a movie clip from showing in the project until calling it's script again to show?
I need to create a global var in AS3 so that I can create the var on the main timeline and change it within another movie clip.
View 3 RepliesI have 2 movie clips, one being loaded into a container MC via "loadMovie();"In the main movie there is a variable with no value, in the external movie there are 5 frames, each with a value to update the variable in the main movie.
IE: if on frame 1, global value = 1 / if on frame 2, global value = 2 / etc etc I'm familiar with passing variables INTO an external swf, but am stumped on how to do it the reverse way.
I want to attach a sound to the main timeline (rollover sound) that i can call from on(rollover) button events. I will be attaching the same sound to several buttons.
View 1 RepliesI have some filters set up, and have assigned some global vars to them, which I then use in my Filters code to display the filters: myText:Filters [globals.data.glow1, globals.data.stroke1, globals.data.shad1] Works perfectly. Now I want to assign a global var to each global filter var to determine if it should be shown or not. So...

Is it possible to make global functions, much in the same way you make a global variable, reachable from anywhere in the project?
View 1 Repliesi defined the global variable in the first frame of my file, and i can access it on other frames, however i am trying to access it within a movieclip, and flash is telling me that it is undefined. does anyone know why this could be?

View 2 RepliesThe problem I am having is that I cannot get my swf file to scale to fit all windows.It fits the stand aspect ratios but widescreens get the black bars on the left and right of the screen (black is set for my stage color). Is there a way to have swf's be displayed stretched horizontally for widescreens without having just the stage be stretched?[code]

View 1 RepliesHad a problem stretching the flash file to fill the screen in a projector movie. It is not made in proportion with the standard screen sizes. Is there a quicky way of doing this, without having to go into each element and resizing it. Its a huge file with a lot of cross referencing happening, and _root is used liberally everywhere.(We have made a screensaver of the same file using screensaver factory 3, and it does the stretch easily)
View 1 Repliesis their a scale function or class so that when i strech a movieclip (while editing in flash and while running the swf) that the clips specific contents do not stretch to the clip legnth but they "stick" to the clip edge? like:
Code:
Xmovieclip._x = _parent._width - Xmovieclip._width;
but Xmovieclip doesnt scale when its parent is scaled.
I put together this little photo gallery tonight, and overall, I'm content with how it works, but there's one thing that bothers me - unless you have a super big monitor, the scroll bar is always at the side of the screen.
Is there a way to keep the stage relatively small (550px or so) until a vertical picture comes up, and then stretch the swf to say 800px? I've used full screen Flash before, but when I do that, instead of forcing the scroll bar to appear, it just cuts off the image.
Note: Yes, this problem could be solved simply by not doing it in Flash, but eventually I plan to append this to a portfolio of sorts (which will be in Flash) and don't want to make it an external link.
I am loading an image in a back mc stretched to 100% of the stage width and height. Everything works fine except in fullscreenmode - the image does not resize to fit the new stage width and height. Here is the code:
PHP Code:
function loadFunc(What, Where) {
var LoadingObject = new MovieClipLoader();
var NewObject = new Object();
NewObject.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip) {

So I created an animation with a guy swing his left arm back and forth. The problem is his arm is swinging too fast. Is there any way I can extend the whole action, rather than deleting all the keyframes and redoing it?
View 1 Repliesurl...Now click at "add image" and load any image.. The image will be shown on the shirt and the blue border shown around the image comes by-default or is it a movieclip? Secondly the image itself is a movieclip or external swf? And i know that movieclip has rotate and scaleX,Y properties that can work here but it seems that these properties are not used?? the script is rotating and stretching it due to container default properties.

View 1 RepliesI have a background with a bitmap fill in it. The background is just a rectangle [drawRect(0,0,stage.stageWidth,stage.stageHeight)]. It get's a repeated bitmap fill and everything works fine.My problem is whe the stage is resized. If I simply set the height and width of the rectangle the fill gets stretched (even when I re-apply the fill). If I redraw the rectangle and re-apply the fill everything works fine.it.
View 2 RepliesI used this script: greengrass._xscale = Stage.width; But I can tell based on the gradient i applied to my fill of that greengrass MC that it's almost double it's size in width and I think it's going past the stage's width. Is there a script to make the greengrass the exact width of the stage and to not go beyond it?
View 3 RepliesI had some code for a preloader that showed a % and stretched a bar.i wanted to modify it to instead go to frame 1 through 100 (based on % loaded) of movieclip "prloader" using the integer from "frmcounter" as the frame number.doesn't work!

I am still making some language flashcards. there are about 20 on the page. when i click the card it is supposed to 'flip' so you can see the translation. the first card does pretty well but then as I continue to the next cards, the tween becomes worse and worse. for some reason as the card flips, its dimensions get thrown off and it becomes really wide or really tall. I want the flip to be a strictly horizontal flip over the y axis. What am I doing wrong?
View 1 RepliesI think this might be a tough one: Is it possible to stretch the playback of an MP3 file using Actionscript? Time stretch is when you slow a sound down but don't change its pitch. Basically, it works by chopping up the sound into milliseconds and splicing duplicates of the bits in, thereby stretching the sound.
View 1 RepliesI have used Ultimate 3D Carousel AS2 which is a great little flash script for 3D menus and integrated it with a script i found for getting the background to stretch full screen. But I need it so that the menu stretches larger the bigger the screen is like the background and to stay in the centre. Here is my flash file [URL].
View 7 RepliesI am trying to use a matrix to stretch an image along its X and Y axis. My code looks like this:
Mat = new Matrix();
Mat.createBox(MyScaleX, MyScaleY);
MyBitmapData.draw(MyDisplayObject, Mat);
When I change MyScaleX, there is no change to the scale. However, the image location gets shifted. When I change MyScaleY, both x and y get scaled. I have also tried to use:
Mat = new Matrix();
Mat.scale(MyScaleX, MyScaleY);
MyBitmapData.draw(MyDisplayObject, Mat);[ code]....
I have:
- a flash movie with 300x20px dimensions
- a dynamic textfield
- xml data parsed into the textfield
Now I'm trying to scale the height of the movie/stage to the height of the textfield after the xmldata was parsed in. I've tried
stage._height = textField._height.
I'm loading an image into an empty movie clip on the stage.
is there a way that if the user rolls over this image it will then increase in size (say from 50x50 to 75x75)?
