I only open it up a couple of times a year to replace a banner ad in a clients web site. But I am having a problem with the transitions that I haven't experienced before. I created a new flash file with text that fades in over 24 frames before going to the next bit, but when I test it, it just jumps from one text to the next without the fade in. It plays fine on the stage, but exports the .swf file without the fade transitions.
View 3 RepliesI have problems with flicker when I zoom in a photo. If you look at [URL] you can see a lot of aliasing in the pictures.
I know that you can do this kind of transitions in Monoslide (watch the banner at [URL] but is it possible to do it in Flash?
how to create transitions, like in example below, between page "what we do" and "contacts"? How to write code for in and out animations before next page?
View 6 RepliesI have created a website (too static) using Dreamweaver along with Photoshop. I created a nice Header but would like to know how (tutorial/and or programs if possible) to make the images transisiton. Ex. [URL] website when you click on a link in the menu different images transition in the header. My website has a company logo with 3 images but the header remains static as you click on all the links.
View 1 Repliesdoes anybody know a easy way to make image transitions in Flash CS4? without using the timeline and without to much programming. Why invet the wheel again if somebody already has the answer? This is what i want to do:Put images/photos in a folder or import to the Flash libary and then let flash view the pictures with a pre-setted transition. The transitions could be: fade in/ fade out, blur in/blur out, pixel in/pixel out, zoom in/zoom out and so on (with a nice look) I want to select the pictures to be used and then select a transition for each image.
For an example if i wanna do a image header lets say 900x400px and then vÃew my images in the folder with the selected transitÃon. I tried to use the slide presentation feature but the transition looked like PowerPoint, boring and not so smooth. Somebody has a simple and free solution? I know this is not to hard for a experienced Flash user, but im a beginner =).
what I want and currently have is a main swf that loads in assets based on buttons pressed. I have 3 external SWFs (for the sake of this example, lets call the initial loaded swf "indexExt.swf", file two" f02.swf" and file three, " f03.swf") and in each of them,there's one layer that goes from frame 1 to frame 10. On frame 1, there's an "intro" label, on frame 5, an "outro" label, and on frame 10, an " end" label.
indexExt.swf is loaded on initial load of the main swf. as for my buttons, I gave my buttons on the main swf stage, instance names that are the same name as the external swfs so that with this line event.target.name + ".swf" I can call em in without having to re-write code for every button etc..
[Code]....
I would like the buttons to be in the same external SWF so I can animate them as well, the problem is I can't seem to get the actionscript to work, here's what mine looks like:
PHP Code:
container.button01.onPress = function() {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "home";
_root.container.loadMovie("home.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "home") {
if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "home";
container.play();
}}}
And I've also tried using
PHP Code:
this._lockroot = true;
In the external SWFs but that didn't work either.
Been going crazy the last two days trying to figure this out. Can't get my head around it, so I thought I would ask here. I've programmed a fairly simple site in AS 2.0, using a couple of old functions like mx.transitions (still learning myself AS 3.0). The site is outlined like this:
- A main MovieClip on _root called mc_scene containing four different movieclips (doing this because I need to be able to run the Flash fullscreen and center the content).
- This main MovieClip contains a simple header movieclip, a footer movieclip, a MovieClip holder (for loading images) and a Meny for controlling the different sections and loading.- Inside the main MovieClip there's four frames each containing a holder and buttons according to each section. - Each section movieclip contains some manual tweens and 1-7 (differs from each clip) buttons. - On the main _root scene I'm using BitMapData to fill a patterened background and centering mc_scene.

Is it possible to set the frame rate for flash 8 transitions? So if I have transition:
TransitionManager.start(img1_mc, {type:Iris, direction:Transition.IN, duration:5, easing:Bounce.easeOut, startPoint:5, shape:Iris.CIRCLE});
how would I set desired frame rate?
Something like:
Tween.FPS = 30;
I'm running Flash Builder 4 that came with my Adobe Master Suite CS5 group of software. I'm trying to implement a flip animation that uses the following packages:
fl.transitions.Tween
fl.transitions.TweenEvent
fl.transitions.easing.Strong
but I'm getting compiler errors for each of those lines:
1172: Definition fl.transitions:Tween could not be found.
1172: Definition fl.transitions:TweenEvent could not be found.
1172: Definition fl.transitions.eashing:Strong could not be found.
I found some references other people discussed regarding CS3, but I'm on cs5 (and this machine never had cs3 installed, I started with cs4 and upgraded to cs5).
Do I need to explicitely tell Flash Builder where to find these packages? Are they not standard to the Flash Builder 4.0 Standard build?
I want to know how to design a Flash CS4(AS3) based kiosk application where the screen changes according to the user events(to change the screens like this). Preferably use xml to describe the application.

Creating a jQuery slideshow comprised of several images with transitions is easy. But I'm trying to have a Flash animation (SWF) stand in for one of the items in the slide show. In other words, I'd like to see transitions between the following: We've tried several of the jQuery slideshow plug-ins, but the Flash animation doesn't play well -- for example, if we use a simple dissolve transition, the Flash never disappears
View 1 RepliesI am using an external actionscript file, and I have dynamically loading images that stay on the screen for X amount of seconds (the user can set the value of x), then it loads the next image. However, this user would like for there to be a transition, For Example, have it fade out and have the next image in line fade in after the image has been displayed on the screen for X amount of seconds. This user would also like a loading bar, much like the one on the flash banner here: [URL] between each image transition.
I also have it so when someone hovers over a button, the flash banner stops, once they rollout X is reset to 1 and starts the counter again, and sets the movie to play at frame 1. Here is the actionscript file: [URL]

View 2 RepliesI'm building my first AS 3.0 application and am using external .swf files that load into a main.swf. I'm creating transitions for each external .swf as they are unloaded so when the user clicks next, the current .swf transitions out and the new one comes in. Since loadMovie and levels are obsolete in 3.0,I've looked into the transitions manager class, but some of my transitions are pretty intricate so I would need to use timeline based tweens.
View 2 RepliesI used NetStream.play("invalid-live-stream-url") to play an invalid live stream. The other arguments are using default, e.g. start = -2, len = -1.
The menu says that when we use the default "start" and "len" to call "NetStream.play", "Plays the live stream until it is no longer available. If a live stream of the specified name is not found, Flash Player plays a recorded stream until it ends."
However, I do not have a recorded stream on the server that has the same name as the live stream, and I did not get the expected "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound" error.
I'm trying to use Caurina Transitions in Flash Cs4, As3, but get the error message: 5007: An ActionScript file must have at least one externally visible definition. I'm simply using this code as test:

I am working on a slideshow (sort of). The idea is that each frame in the root timeline works as a slide. Each slide inside each frame is a simple MC filled with images, texts, audio and animations and so on. Once this MC reaches its last frame, it should stop and trigger another MC used as a transition. And I've put inside this transition MC a code that should tell the root timeline to advance a single frame in order to show the next "slide".
So, on the timeline, I've put this code:
***
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(slide._currentframe == slide._totalframes){
[code]....
Well, needless to say it is not working. The whole swf just stops. And if I remove the stop() code of the Transitions MC at frame 2, the current slide will loop before the transition triggers the nextFrame command.
Below is the code which is used to trigger the transitions. For reference 'home' is movieclip and 'homestate' is a button in the movieclip.
home.homestate.onRelease=function(){
if(_root.section!="home.swf"){
_root.section="home.swf";[code]....
I try incorporating these actions into the first script but I get an error.
home.homestate.onRelease=function(){
if(_root.section!="home.swf"){
_root.section="home.swf";[code]...
i was also wondering if it's possible to make transitions with masks using actionscript?i have section headers that i want to transition when certain buttons are clicked, and depending on what button is clicked, a new section header is shown. i put all the section headers in a movie clip, with different frame names, so when the button is clicked, it jumps to the different frame name of the movie clip.for the transition, i basically want a wipe left to reveal the section header.. and a wipe right to hide it... and to do this, i figure i'd need to mask...
so i put a mask over the movie clip and realized that flash doesn't mask movie clips very well, when using masking layers.. so it doesn't really work properly.is there a way to do this using actionscript? and if so, how? i know flash know has a setmask property for movieclips..but can you modify the mask property's size??
I found this site and I like the transitions between the photo's. how to make such an effect! Is it done with masks? or......?
View 14 RepliesI have a menu with 4 buttons, once clicked each button sends you to its corresponding section (frame label). Each section has a different loading animation. Once in a section I would like to go to another but before this that section's specific transition animation must play. Now I've looked around and all I can find is how to do this with a universal transition animation.
View 3 Replies[URL]theres the link for the turorial. my questions is, how can i use movieclips instead of using buttons. i thought it would be simple enough to create a movieclip, add the on release as to it and done, but it doesn't work. i also converted the file to flash 8 btw.

View 2 RepliesI read the tutorial about transitions between external swfs and started implementing it! So as a good and ordonate guy that I am, I put the index.html in the root, created a style folder for the style and a folder for the swfs. I was struggling about one hour to find out why it wouldn't work, to find out that if I move the html inside with the swfs, being in the same directory, it worked fine!
View 3 RepliesI am using Flash CS3 AS2 I have a main movie into which several external swfs are loaded. Two of these swfs are left_menu and middle_menu.

I have had a look at the tutorial which differs a bit and I'm a little confused (very new to actionscript!). I have put on by 'home' button if 'left menu':

I know how to do transitions that use external swf files using levels
What if i wanted to do it all in one swf? an example is here below:
[URL]
If you vist the profile page for example, you will see four main buttons at the top, Details, experience, favorites and hate. If i click on one of these some secondary buttons appear underneath, RED ones.
Now then if I press experience for example, the red buttons appear below and now if i click on favorites the experience buttons slide out to be replaced by the favorite buttons. I could do this with external swf files and use midframe actionscript but this all appears to be happening in one swf.
give me the actionscript for a bar that has a play and stop button to play and stop frames in a flash movie. i would be gratefull if you could as i am really stuck
