I played around with the new tween tool in CS4, and it seems that the difference is I dont see the tween arrow anymore in the timeline; and there is an easing in the property that has been added. How this has changed from the old concept finally? I see this just like putting some icing on the cake, and nothing would wow me to use this tool.

I've got in over my head trying to learn programming, but love it.How would you teach a designer to migrate from design to object oriented programming?
My interest is AS3 in Flash IDE, but any advice is welcome. Looking for a full explanation.
I start flash as3 project on Flash CS3, about one year ago. After compile it on CS4, I get this error (on Russian):
[Code]...
But I get this error only in browser (FlashPlayer10), if I run inside Flash CS4 - all works fine. And I get this error then the MovieClip with TextArea added on stage.
I have an Actionscript project that was building using Flash cs3. Project have TextFields (Text engine: classic text, Text type: dynamic text). Since I upgraded to CS5 and published, I find out that my text not rendered. I use Font family Tahoma. And I just set Font family to Tahoma again and published. After that manipulations my text start render. But when somebody else try to open my project using same Flash CS5 IDE and just published that project again without any modification - none of my text is rendered again. And that going round in circles.

View 2 RepliesI am migrating from Flash MX to Flash CS5 Pro. Is there a way to load a movie into the flash player and play it to a viewer without installing the adobe server software and the price that goes with it? Is there a way to just have the movie file stored on the server and just get the flash player to call the file and buffer it?
View 5 RepliesIn Flash Professional CS4, I get "migration issue" warnings when I use mouse/keyboard input handler names such as onMouseDown, onKeyUp, etc., even though I have added event listeners for them. These names are perfectly legal for functions, but since these were automatically fired in ActionScript 2.0, we are now (albeit sensibly) warned that their use is no longer automatic in AS3.I understand the purpose of the warnings, but they aren't useful for me. I want to suppress these warnings, but without suppressing any other warnings, which I generally do find useful.I found a flex-info.xml style document in the Flash User Data dir.[userdatafolder]/Adobe/Flash CS4/en/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/FlexInfo.xml.However, this file contains a disappointing comment: <!-- Flash does not support most flex-config options. -->, and doesn't seem to respond to my directives even after restarting flash. Found an issue "Erroneous, annoying "Migration issue" warnings" on Adobe bug tracker. A fix is confirmed for the Flex SDK, but no mention of Flash...
View 5 RepliesI am migrating a bunch of projects which were built in Flash Pro to Flash Builder....The basic structure of those projects were an FLA which has a DocumentClass. That DocumentClass referenced various items on the stage...
Is there any way to duplicate this in Flash Builder? I know I can just embed the swc or swf and then access items via ThatDisplayObject.itemToAccess, but calls from outside will no longer work. I.e. if this project is loaded by a container, which then calls SubProject.itemToAccess...Or must I change all the mappings, or set getters/settings on the new Flash Builder project so that outside calls will access the items?

I'm having some big problems trying to migrate this part of code from AS2 to AS3. I'm newbie, and tried to google examples, but i still can't get it.
[Code]...
I found this code in an AS2 .fla and would like to use it in AS3. (The idea is to throw a random number of copies of the movieclip "star_mc" on the stage via AS).
for (var i =0;i<50;i++) {
star_mc.duplicateMovieClip("star"+i,i,{_x:Math.random()*350,_y:Math.ra ndom()*150});
this["star"+i].gotoAndPlay(Math.random());
}
I get this error message: TypeError: Error #1006: duplicateMovieClip is not a function.

I was converting an FLA to ActionScript 3 when I encountered a problem with gotoAndPlay not finding certain frame labels that were clearly there. I set up a loop to trace all frame label names and the scenes they were found in, and discovered that while the labels were all present, they were in different scenes than before. Some groups of labels that had been together in a scene were even split up across multiple scenes.
Is this a common glitch? I tried deleting one label and putting it in again, and it was still in the wrong place.
[Edit]: I added the frame numbers to my trace test and two of the labels share the same frame, and several have ridiculously high frame numbers.
i am wondering if there is a way to put a delay (seconds) on the flashs' native tween class like you can on the laco tween engine... such as

I will have three seperate pages for the motion tween, mask effect and shape tween... would you make the seperately, in a different scene, as a symbol or on the same scene with the website.
View 2 RepliesI'm having a problem adding a library clip to my stage I can do no problem if I have a testFLV.fla that has a library clip called test_clip with the linkage set to: com.attach_clips.Clip.
import com.app.views.mediaDisplay;import com.attach_clips.Clip;
public class FLVTest extends Sprite { private var _mediaDisplay:mediaDisplay; public function FLVTest() { this._mediaDisplay = new mediaDisplay(null); var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); this.addChild(clip_1_mc); clip_1_mc.x=100; }}
If I use the same concept in my mediaDisplay class, the clip isn't added to the stage. Obviously it's got to be a scope issue since 'this' in the first examplerepresents the .fla itself but in mediaDisplay this doesn't have a stage object.
package com.app.views {
import flash.display.Sprite; import com.attach_clips.Clip; public class mediaDisplay extends Sprite { public function mediaDisplay(attachControls:Sprite) { var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); this.addChild(clip_1_mc); clip_1_mc.x=100; }; }}
how I could 'attach' test_clip to the stage from mediaDisplay?
I am trying to migrate as2 to as3 code.The normal solution to my problem involves using the first parameter of the createEmptyMovieClip() as the name of your movie clip. In several instances I have a dynamic value for this first parameter- so my question is How should I go about doing this?

Is there a way to convert a classic tween to a motion tween?
View 0 Repliesimport fl.transitions.Tween;

var homemanTween:Tween = new Tween(homeman_mc, "x", Elastic.easeOut, 1000, 50, 3, true);//frist tween
var adobeTween:Tween = new Tween(adobe_mc, "alpha", Regular.easeOut, 0, 1, 3, true);//second tween
how can I animate the 2nd tween after 3 seconds when 1st tween stops.
Now I am using the Tween Class to move some boxes in my movie, now I can move the first mc and then another mc after the first tween has finished with onMotionFinished but I was hoping someone could help with how do I start the second tween when the first mc has passed a certain _x coordinate. ie starting the second mc moving while the first tween is still moving.
View 1 RepliesIf i have a clip with a bunch of stuff inside it (on layers) like other clips, bitmaps, etc. and perform a tween on that clip (via tween class), the stuff inside the clip seems to alpha at different rates.
For instance, i have a clip with an empty movieclip which loads a bitmap image and on top of the bitmap image, i have a gradient feathered edge (.png) bitmap and on top of that I have some dynamic text (embedded fonts).
The bitmap is supposed to create a feathered edge on the photo but since they alpha at different rates, you always see the hard edge of the photo...
is there a solution like cacheAsBitmap which would let the whole clip alpha at once? If it's cacheAsBitmap, i must be using it incorrectly, b/c it's not working!
my movieclip button was working perfectly as a motion tween. Can you use shape tweens as movie clip buttons? I just made that change, and kept my code:
[Code]....
I am facing a problem in one of my animation with flash CS4 - I have nested a Shape Tween in a Motion tween to get more control over the easers and effects, unfortunately I am not able to view on the timeline of my Motion Tween the action of the Shape tween nested inside.
It only show the first shape of the Shape Tween during the entire Motion Tween and that is really a problem for me because I need to see the final frame result of that Shape tween to be able to position it in a precise way on my scene according to other instances.

Am trying to use the Tween class to scale and move a movieclip. Now the movieclip is within the loader, so I need the motion to be controlled by the percentage loaded. Now the code to move the movieclip to its final position is:
var xscaletween:Tween = new Tween(mstone, "_xscale", Regular.easeOut, mstone._xscale, 220, 6, true);
But this is the final location, I want to be able to change the properties of xscaletween, yscaletween, xmovetween and ymovetween as per percentage loaded.As in, within this final boundary limit of the tween, I want, for example, xscaletween, to scale only till 140 till percentage hits 50. Is this possible?? If not is there a workaround?Or do I have to use new tweens within each percentage limit?
I am working on to slide a movieclip across the stage.The movie clip is five times the width of the stage and I am using the Tween Class to move it across the stage when a button is pressed.The interaction I want is that when the button is pressed the movie clip moves a certain amount.If the button is pressed again it moves further.The script I have come up with though is taking the movieclip back to the original position of the movieclip and then moving it as opposed to moving it from the position it reached after the first button click.I have tried a few things but nothing is working.The script I am using at present is:[code]
