saw various tutorials where dynamic fields had a motion teen effect. However If I tryto do the same, once I apply the motion tween the dynamic text becomes Graphic. How can I avoid this?
View 6 RepliesI'm making a very simple Flash game which is just somewhat of a training project for myself. All it involves is clicking a button which takes away a random bit of health from an opponent, and I'm quite proud of myself for figuring out how to subtract the random number hit away from his total health and show the resulting number above his head. (lol i fail)But my problem has nothing to do with actionscript, it's my cloud layer which I've motion tweened across 150 frames inside the "cloud" movieclip. All the clouds do is slowly move across the stage (I created the cloud movieclip to where it doesn't jump back to it's original form when the 150 frames are done, so it looks like one continuous cloud scene). Whenever I test the project, it goes at about 5 fps, which is very slow (supposed to be at 30 fps).I know it's the clouds that caused the laggyness because I temporarily removed them and it goes just like normal.
View 2 RepliesI decided that this was okay but I wanted to change it so text/staff etc.would update dynamically from a text file. Got this working and moved on to simple alpha tween animation.I have several dynamic buttons that fade onto the stage perfectly. When the user selects a button a variable is loaded which updates the adjacent dynamic text box (within a MC). However, if I try to tween this text box, it goes to full alpha if I place stop() in the last keyframe.If I remove stop() it will loop and display correctly.
View 5 RepliesSince no one is able to answer my question in this thread, I like to ask a simpler question. How do I create a tween that will slide my texts from left to the middle and then pause for 3 seconds then continue to slide off stage to the right?
slideXTween = new Tween(txtField, "x", Regular.easeOut, postXFrom, postXTo, 1, true);
The above code is what I have so far for sliding texts from left to the middle. However, I couldn't figure out how to pause for 3 seconds and then continue to the right and eventually off the stage.
If I perform a motion tween along a curved path, Flash CS4 does not allow to change the curves to "corner point" or "linear" in the motion editor. URL...
View 2 RepliesI want my intro texts to get scaled to a certain position when clicked. So far this is what I have done,
Code:
var scaleTo:Number = 0.6;
var introTexts:Array = [...];
for(var i:int = 0;i<introTexts.length;i++){
introTexts[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onintroClick);
} function onintroClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
[Code] .....
Right now,this code doesn't do anything, I can trace out "click" but nothing happen. I tried out the first item from the array first to make sure the code is working. The x position I want is -15 and y is 300. I just test out something, the code is working when I move it out from the function.
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 Repliesmy 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:

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.

I'm making a "master movie" for an assignment and I'm stuck right now. What I've got is an Intro page that will serve at the Parent.swf to load 4 other child swf's upon a mouse click. The problem is I have a theater stage where I tweened an animation to make it appear the curtain on the stage is going up but once it reaches it maximum height....the tween abruptly stops. I want it to HOLD there until a user clicks a button.
How would I make this happen? Here is the page in question: [URL]...

View 1 RepliesI have a flash that reads all it's content from an XML file, alot of dynamic texts, it's in AS2 and it uses Dynamic text variables to assign the text from XML to the dynamic text.
Now I'm migrating it to AS3, I can't use Dynamic text variables any more, I know I can assign it manually one by one, but I have more than 200 movies to migrate, and it would take a lot of time to do it.I thought of one solution: If I can read all the dynamic texts in the whole movie at once, I can build a nice loop to read them one by one and assign the text from XML to it's respective texts.
I'm working on a flash site which has some xml texts and images. The texts and images can be dynamically updated via a CMS. It works fine on my MAC but it seems not showing up on a few others.The as2 code to read xml in Flash is as follow:
function loadXMLData_about(loaded)
{
if (loaded)

How would I use ASFunction with dynamic texts? Can someone gimme a example (code not .fla)...How would I display the IP address of a person with flash?Complicated: A person views my signature. It shows the IP Address of a person along with a input box for their name. They type in their name. How would I make it so that, after a name is typed in and a button is pressed, both the name and the IP address are sent to a file? Only I can view the file. Well, the file could be called list.php or list.txt...and then I can CHMOD it so others can't view it...

But i decided to go on step by step. First problem i met, I am unable to display the snapshot of my webcam into a movieclip.. As in i want to take a frame of my webcam input and draw it into a movieclip.. (so i can compare with later frames to see if there is any motion.) Anyone can help me out here? What is wrong with my script? It's just supposed to take the webcam image on every enterframe and input it to my movieclip right beside my live input of my webcam.. But it appears as a blank MC..

Updated question: Is there a way to sort dynamic texts based on the variable (or simple value) they represent? Old dribble: I'm looking for some pointers for a problem with making a table. It may be that I have started off in the wrong direction - anyways, I'm stuck now. The .png displays my objects, and how they are connected/grouped. The highlighted (red) shows the variable containing the points.
The pink with the most points should be displayed higher than the rest, and 2nd most points should ofc be 2nd highest. I have tried taking the red variable out of the pink, but I could not think of a way of moving the red variable based on its own value. I'm going to edit the red variables (as the world cup goes on), and there is no need for cookies and such. And if there is a simpler way of doing the setup, let me know. I'm using SwishMax3 (SM2 up till a few days ago, so I'm more used to as2..)
this may be a basic thing, but i couldn't find an answer by serching internet. I have created a simple button - Istance name = "btnsample"and there are two layers layer 0- button design with rollovers - layer 1- dynamic text field - instance name = "txtbtnlabel"btnsample.txtbtnlabel.text = "new button label;but it's giving followin error :-119:Access of possible undefined propety txtbtnlabel through a reference with static type flash.display:simpleButton.

The problem is that this movie clip has a roll_over on the children, so when I put the second line of code my roll_over doesn't work anymore.
whether it be text, symbol, a shape that I drew. None of it works. When I create the motion tween the line arrow in the timeline doesn't show up like it should. Here is the extremely simple animation i'm doing. The problem are for the bottom 9 layers starting from frame 80. I converted all of those to graphic symbols and I'm just trying to do a very simple alpha 0-100 while resizing the letters. I've also tested motion tween on very simple shapes and it never works. I just don't get it.

Has anybody found a way to ease motion only between keyframes, not the whole animation? In classic u get separate easings.Generally, I want to convert old tween to new for more control, but it seems to be impossible.
View 4 RepliesI created some text, converted into a movie clip and I have three keyframes - 1,5,15.at 1 the text is as it is, at 5 i flip it horizontally, using the transform tool [q key] and at 15 i flip it horizontally it again, so it's normal again And I've put motion tween between both the places. Now when I preview the swf, from 1 to 5 the text animates as it is supposed to clockwise but from 5 to 15 it rotates clockwise
So it covers 1/2 revolution and then traces the same half back to become normal again.What must I do in order to make it swivel in clockwise sense only ?
