Professional :: Animating Dynamic Text In Movie Clip
Mar 26, 2012I've made a little file with some signpost movie clips that do a little animation on mouseover and mouseout. I then wanted to set the text on each of them via actionscript i.e. sign1.sign_text.text = "Checklist: Before you arrive"; etc. This code puts all the right text on the signs when it loads, however as soon as you mouseover it, the text reverts back to the original placeholder text in the movieclip (when it gets to the second keyframe). How can I keep the reference to the text it has at the beginning of the movie clip?
View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Generating And Animating Text Boxes For Dynamic XML Amounts?
May 25, 2009AS3 to animate dynamic xml text values to -X direction means left side of the screen. The text boxes will be holding dynamic numbers which willl be basically some amounts passed by the user and these amounts will be animated as running towards left. For getting these dynamic text values from an external XML file every n second say every 5 second the xml connection will be refreshed with a timer. Now am working on is like creating text boxes at run time as per the number of amounts coming to the flash while refreshing once. Here the issue what am facing is like first time when the flash loads then there will be some 10 values so 10 text boxes will be generated and the movieclip holding these will be moving to -x direction with a timer, so when the next time the connection refreshes its again creating new text boxes and appending the movieclip and this process repeats in every refresh, if a new value is coming to the flash may be in 6th refreshing time then to see this new values there is a big delay happening because all the old generated set of amounts has to be moved to see the new one. Here we are looking for a instant change on these amounts once the new values gets to flash.

Jul 17, 2011Hello all. I've been writing AS1 and 2 for a loooong time but I'm just starting to get into AS3 and it's... challenging. Making my brain think differently when Flash is still Flash is tricky but I'm coming along. This is my first piece of AS3 that I'm putting together and it loads an image, creates a movie clip for it to live in and then repeats the process 9 more times. The dynamically created clips are supposed to be staggered from the bottom left to the top right. However, when I run the code it only shows the final iteration in the top right.

...and his code is almost exactly the same except for the image load. I left the image loading code out of this post since it works perfectly. There's a listener in the image load that triggers when completed and fires the function below:

function imageLoaded(event:Event):void {
var myMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

ActionScript 3.0 :: Animating Multiple Dynamic Images?
Oct 9, 2009I currently have a working gallery I made with simple next/prev buttons, that calls external images dynamically from a folder. The images are in an array (obviously). I would LOVE to be able to tween the incoming image from the right, and the outgoing image out to the left, which I know how to do just fine (with either built in tween class or tweenmax)..... but not when the images are loaded dynamically. I've searched and searched and have only come across a mention of having two loaders, or possibly a loader for each image? or possibly using the custom BulkLoader class from google.code.

Professional :: Animating A Dynamic Textbox By Converting It To A Movie Clip?
Aug 8, 2010I have been trying to create a die that acts as a 60 second timer in Flash CS4 using Actionscript 3.0. This involves creating a die and a dynamic textbox that counts from 60 to 0. Both of these parts of the project are fine, however I need to animate the textbox in 3D space to coincide with the die rolling. I believe it is not possible to animate a textbox (from online reading and also trying to do it myself by playing about with Flash) so I have loaded the textbox into a movieclip. As I'm having issues with this I thought it would be good practice to split the project into sub-projects in order to identify the problem. Here is the actionscript 3.0 I have used for the timer/countdown clock:
var newTime:Loader = new Loader();
newTime.load(new URLRequest("SWFs/timer.swf"));
clock_mc.addChild(newTime); //clock_mc is an instance of movieClipContainer which is a new

Animating A Typing Text Effect (Swish)?
Jun 20, 2007The last I have been using Flash was around 4 years ago and I have forgotten quite a bit. I remember I used SWISH Lite to create a typing effect (as a blinking cursor is typing a line of text one by one) and later i just could take this generator animation of my text and add it to my Macromedia Flash.I have installed the new SwishMax Trial, but I really don't recognize where I have to go in order to get this text effect generator running.

Jan 9, 2010Basically, I just want to do ye old text fade on as if being typed on to the screen. Letter by letter, and in some cases word by word. digi-poetry. I've made a BlackerMC which starts as a black square, then flickerfades away leaving some faded lines (like old school crappy green monitor style), and then the lines fade away. I've placed copies of this BlackerMC over each of the characters/words I want to 'type' on.
What I would like to do is animate a TriggerMC along the lines of text, and whenever it rollsOver a BlackerMC it triggers the Blacker to fade away. I know how to set up BlackerMC to look at its distance to TriggerMC, but then there will be like 500 BlackerMCs enterframing away. Is there a way I can make TriggerMC just look at 'whatever?' MC is under it, and then trigger whatever?MC to play? How to do this the smart way, entirely with action script and Dynamic Text?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Animating Color Of Text With TweenMax?
Oct 6, 2009Basically I have a menu with submenus. The submenu is a Sprite with two children, one is a square for the background and the text on top. On mouse over, I can change the color of the first child, the background, but not the color of the text, the second child. Here is the code.
ActionScript Code:
private function subMenuItemOver(evt:MouseEvent):void {
TweenLite.to(evt.target.getChildAt(0), 1, {tint:0x9ca26e}); // Works
TweenLite.to(evt.target.getChildAt(1), 1, {tint:0xffffff}); // Doesn't work
}
The menus are created from an xml document and the color is assigned with TextFormat.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Animating Using Values From Text File
Apr 26, 2011I'm setting up an animation to do the following: 10 bulls are running across the screen, they each stop at a position that I would like to be defined by a numeric variable contained in a text file. So currently each instance of the bull has a script to run the animation (see below).[code]so the only value in that script that needs to be defined by a variable is the x position. Can someone explain how i can import values from a text file (or xml file) as usable variables in the animation script?I've no problem importing text to be displayed in a dynamic text field, I'm just having a huge problem getting numeric values to import correctly.

Oct 15, 2009I've got an xml file that is providing text to the swf. The flash file is supposed to go through the xml file and each time it reads a node it is supposed to create a text field on the stage with the text from the XML file. Then it is supposed to animate along the y axis for a short time, pause for a few seconds, and then continue animating along the y axis. (like a news ticker on a News Channel). Anyways, I've got the FLA reading the XML file fine and it even creates a text field populated with the text. But I can't get the text fields to animate inside the loop.[code]I can get the first text to animate. But I don't understand why the "i and j" version doesn't.

View 2 RepliesFlash :: Smoothly Playback A FLV At Different Speeds?
Dec 21, 2010I will need to display the frames of an FLV at different rates.
Here are some examples:
the user will 'scrub' through the flv frames(front/back) the flv will need to play at half the speed on a user interaction.
Currently I'm using LoaderMax and it's VideoLoader object to load and play FLV files. I've tried using the playProgress property, but only the keyframes of the FLV are displayed. I got the same result with the basic setup(using the NetStream class)
As a workaround, I playback the FLV once, and cache BitmapData instances in which I draw/cache each frame of the video. After this is done, I use the BitmapData Vector to update a Bitmap on stage. Scrubbing/changing speed works fine with this method, but still the user needs to see(wait for) the sequence once, while it gets cached, which I don't like.

View 3 RepliesFlash :: Smoothly Play FLV Video While Loading Assets In The Background?
Dec 8, 2010Working on a 'video heavy' Flash site that has an intro video. While the intro video is playing, assets(images,flv files) should be loaded in the background. The problem is that, while the assets are loading, the intro video play gets jittery. What can I do to make the video playing smoothly while still loading assets? It might be the single threaded nature of actionscript, not sure. After using @Demian Brecht suggested method, I noticed that the culprit might be Memory allocation. As the FLVs load the memory usage goes up by ~266MB and while the videos are written to memory, the framerate drops to 1FPS.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Game Performs Smoothly In IDE But Sloppy In Browser
Feb 2, 2012I am currently making for fun a racing game. When it started to get in shape, I decided to try it in a browser.
Now, when using CTRL+Enter or running the swf file, it was all working really smoothly. But when I ran it through a browser (when publishing, I generated html file and opened it in FireFox) it was extremely sloppy.
My first thought is that there are too many calculations which resulted in low fps. I downloaded and put a script to measure the fps. In both, IDE and browser, the movie was played back with max fps of 24. When I increased it to 50 it was still reaching max fps in both, yet in browser movie was still really sloppy (though it was a little bit better than with max fps being 24). When raised to 100, playback in browser was capped at 60fps on different computers so I guess it's a flash player cap. Movie was still not smooth at all.

Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.
