I would like to animate a sequence of background images within a uicomponent but also dynamically add and remove components to this component. My first question would be:
1.) What's the best way to animate a sequence of images using Flex 3?
2.) What's the best way to handle adding and removing components on top of the background dynamically?
Sometime ago i ran into some url where they had a code for animating your background. Does someone have an idea how to do it or where to find it.
View 6 RepliesOK here what I'm envisioning and keep in mind ive only just started playing with flash so I really am a total novice at this point: I want to have two buttons which load different jpegs which are pretty large (about 5000 width x 600 height) to animate as the page background. so in my BG layer for the main timeline i added a container movie clip (5000x600 also) and in the container movie clip's timeline i have it classic tweening across the stage back and forth. then on the main timeline i have my two buttons which are supposed to load the backgrounds. the thing that seems to be messing it all up is the fact that i call "stop();" in my action script to stop on my 3rd frame of the main timeline after the preloader etc. in my testing i added yet another movie clip that animates and it keeps animating when i cal stop(); but the background image is not animating any more.

I have a Component that has a specific background image. The code looks like:
<mx:backgroundImage>@Embed(source='img1.png')</mx:backgroundImage>
<mx:states>
<mx:State name='state2'>
<mx:SetStyle name="backgroundImage">
[Code]....
But when I change the state to 'state2', it doesn't actually change anything.
I've done a complex animation in After Effects and want this to be part of a Flash movie, running on timeline as a sequence.I rendered this as a PSD sequence (RGB+alpha) with hoping, this has transparent background in Flash.But Flash seems not understanding about alpha layers and displays black background instead of no-background. I also rendered this as PNG sequence but failed again � the images opened in wrong size and were really huge, so Flash Player wouldn't play it smoothly.Then I saved just a frame as Photoshop Layers which after importing to Flash has transparency in it. Sure, doing it frame-by-frame is a time consuming process and feels stupid way to do.
View 2 RepliesI 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.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to animate the 4 Divs (Discovery, Activities, Beaches, Color Me Martinique) at the top of this page, each Div containing 4 pictures. [URL]. I'm currently trying jQuery but I don't know how to make it work for the 4 Divs (each Div containing 4 pictures). I'm still working at it. But, I was told using jQuery to animate the 4 Divs would start to eat into the browser performance.
So I'm thinking doing it in AS3.
Would that be a better choice?
Would that eat into the browser performance?
What are the downsides using AS3 to animate the 4 Divs, each Div containing 4 pictures.
I am calling 18 images into the empty .mc from local drive. MasterHomePage_mc.ImgButton1_btn.Img1_mc.Img1Holde r_mc. ist working fine and images are NOT blinking when they called up.
But, once I have done a simple thumbnail image bar with spinning 18 images they start blining.
I think there is a probles with speed of loading images.
I have a peice of video that I exported as a swf from after effects. Now that i've imoprted it into flash it's broken down into a squence of images. The problem is I need to move the video (Pics) but obviuosly I can only move 1 image at a time and that's a real pain as there is nearly 80 of them. I really need a way of moving all of them at the same time. Highlighting all the frames and moving them doesn't work.

View 3 RepliesI have get our client 200 tga picture (renders), i want to insert this picture one by one key frame how can i do automatically.I am try to select & stage but picture is place one over another.
View 3 RepliesI've got a sequence of 200 images, which are named image_1, image_2 - image_200. All in the same folder. I need to load one, then the next etc, without any human intervention (the reason is below). The following code works locally but when I upload it, it only loads the last image (image 200). I can see why - as the "for loop" is going "full speed", whilst the loading is not being allowed to complete. I need to say "only upload the next image when the current one has finished loading".
My ActionScript Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder",1);
holder._x = 20;
holder._y = 50;
//timeline.onEnterFrame = LoadMovie;
function GetFileName(name) {
[Code] .....
My reason for this is I'd like to load them sequentially so that once one has finished loaded, load the next (the idea is to build the cache whilst the viewer reads an introduction - the trouble was the image was too large, so I've broken it into 200 tiles).
I need to upload about 200 images but I want them to load sequentially, i.e. when image1.jpg has uploaded, then I need image 2 to upload etc.
Ive attached the Fla. But all the code below:
My trouble is its going straight through the loop and not actually loading the images.
ActionScript Code:
var i:int = 0;
// create and position empty clips for images
// one for load and when the complete - load into the other

When telling a flash movie to load several external images or swfs into the stage it normally loads every image at the same time making the movie feeling slow.I�m looking for a preloader or a script that can preload one image at a time. Starting with 1.jpg then moving on to 2.jpg, then 3.jpg etc.

Is it possible to convert recorded video into sequence images?
View 1 RepliesI have five piano key images (converted to movie clip symbols) on the screen, and each play a tone when clicked. I would like to program it so if you clicked the five keys in a specific order, it triggers an event. I suspect I have to use the array command, this is what I have so far:
ActionScript Code:
var noteArray:Array = new Array(note05_mc, note01_mc, note03_mc, note04_mc, note02_mc);

I'd like to import dozens of images and have them in sequence in a single layer. I did this once before, I made a .swf out of a video game cutscene and I recall importing the images to the stage then I asked somewhere else how to make them appear in the layers field. Then I did something that put each image in its own layer and I had to manually move them and make them appear in sequence.
So if anybody knows how to import and put in a single layer in sequence or simply import each image into its own layer
I am using Flash Professional CS5 and a sequence of small images that I want to convert to a MovieClip to use in actionscript 3. I have a blank actionscript 3 file. I go to Insert -> New Symbol, name it 'blue', set it as a Movieclip and tick 'Export For Actionscript'. Then I press OK. I get the message about creating a new class and click OK. Obviously this creates 'blue' in my library. I then go to File -> Import -> Import To Stage and select my first image of four, 'blue1.png'. It asks if I want to import the sequence of images. I have blue1.png, blue2.png, blue3.png, blu4.png, so I click Yes and the images appear on the timeline, stage and my library. Can I now use the class 'blue' in my main actionscript file? Currently, in my main actionscript file, called BubbleVillage, I have some very simple code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
public class BubbleVillage extends MovieClip {
public function BubbleVillage() {
private var firstblue:blue;
firstblue = new blue();
addchild(firstblue);
}}}
When I save and test the movie, I get a blank screen.
I am trying to create a flash player to display images in sequence using Flash player & ActionScript. The code below has lots of errors and I can't work them out. I have programmed in other languages and am perfectly aware that something like this.
Code:
var imageLoader:Loader;
imageLoader = new Loader(); // 1120: Access to undefined property imageLoader
OR
Code:
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader(); // 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time: Loader
Are both acceptable.

The same problem is for the next two (commented out) timer lines.
I have a gallery of 30 plus images. The user will then use a scroll bar to flip through them. The images actually make up a sequence so I dont want to preload each one one at a time. I am also pulling in the images dynamically. Below is a bit of the code I am using. What I would like to have is all of the images preload on one frame and then once that is done go to frame two where I have the rest of the code for gallery manipulation.

I can set the new transform matrix for this UI component to be the above calculated matrix, and the results are accurate; but I need to animate the transition. I can't use the Scale/Move effects alone because they aren't as powerful when it comes to calculating the necessary transformation as the matrices are.So how can I animate the transition of an object given a source and a target transform matrix?Figured it outUsing a tweener and its onUpdate event to reassign the matrix with each intermediate value:
