I'm creating an animation where I want to simulate the increased velocity of particles with increased temperature. I was planning to just gradually have fewer frames per distance travelled on the screen, but I thought I'd check here to see if there's a less tedious way of doing this.

I have a as2 scroller button that drags 'clip' MC:[code]how do I make the speed gradually (say 1 second after release to) halt?
View 4 RepliesI'm creating a thermometer with the mercury animated as donations come in. I haven't touched flash in a long time, so be gentle.
How can I change the code below so the animation is faster without increasing the framerate?
var maxMercuryHeight = 192; // Mercury height at 100%
var currentDonations = 80; // Percentage of donations taken
var currentHeight = (currentDonations / 100) * maxMercuryHeight;

How can I make the animation ease out so it starts fast and slows down at the end?
I've been working on a flash animation that has been set to 12frames per second, but now my boss has told me it needs to be 25fps - but when i change the frame rate in 'modify>document' the whole thing just speeds up. Is there a way to increase the fps whilst retaining the original speed?
View 1 RepliesI have an animation on the timeline and I would like to increase the speed of the animation. I have tried increasing the fps and when I test it in flash, it works. But then I upload it onto my server online and it is still slow...
Also, I don't want to shorten the number of frames the animation takes as this will result in a edgy animation, whereas I want a smooth fast animation.
I have consecutive graphics being presented. I want them to start out slow then the speed at which they appear should increase steadily and quickly until they are flashing. So I am using this to time the animation:
setInterval(photoFlash,1000);
I guess what I am looking for is a way to do this:
setInterval(photoFlash,1000+100);
Where the interval is increased each time the function is run.
I am currently using a timer to add animated squares to the stage. I would like to make it so that each time a square is added, the timer starts to go faster. This is what I have so far, but it doesn't update in the actual timer.[code]
View 3 RepliesI was wondering how to optimize my XML to increase it's load speed. I am using XML to load articles onto stage. Now they load, but one article in particular takes over 20 seconds when I test it on my machine which leads me to believe that is flash player that is choking.
View 14 RepliesI trying to learn and follow some tutorials about classes and stuff like that. If you look att my code I have posted a object called "FallingObject" falls every third second in the speed of "y += 10;" I want my falling object to increase the speed every 20 second. How do I do that?
PHP Code:
var TimerFallingObject:Timer = new Timer(3000);TimerFallingObject.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, OnStartFallingObject);TimerFallingObject.start(); function OnStartFallingObject(e:Event){ var af:Sprite = new FallingObject(); af.x= Math.random()*640; addChild(af);}[code].....
this is what i'm trying to accomplish; With a click on a movieclip (cannon_mc)a shot is being fired (ball_mc)
The longer mouse is down, the speed of wich the ball is fired with should increase.My question to you is;
What is the most efficient way to accomplish this? With a timer or something like this;

View 4 RepliesI have randomly placed 40 pennies on the stage using a for loop, as well as making some of them smaller. They all start at the top of the stage and, right now, all fall down the stage at the same time.My trouble is trying to get the larger pennies to fall faster than the smaller pennies. I'm not sure how to single them out by size to control the speed.here is the code I have. I am only 3 weeks into ActionScript so please be specific (maybe provide an actual sample of code to use).[code]

} else {
side = "right";
} var altitude:Number = Math.random() * 300 + 20;
var speed:Number = Math.random() * 50 + 50;
var p:Airplane = new Airplane(side,speed,altitude);
addChild(p);
airplanes.push(p);

How can I increase the _height property of a window without increase the height of the title and the bar at the top of the window ?
I want only to increase the part of the window where I put textFields and buttons.
I want to add an animated .gif file to my movie. So I created a new symbol and then imported the .gif file to the stage. This created the symbol containing the animated .gif.I dragged the symbol onto the scene where I want it. However, the animation seems to play at a different speed (fps) than normal. So I changed the fps of the symbol (at bottom of Timeline where it says "fps"). But for some reason this changes the fps of the rest of the entire movie.
View 3 RepliesI'm tweening a movieclip from startX to finishX. The value of startX varies but finishX is a constant. But as the startX increases in value the animation appears to be quicker. How do I adjust the speed of the tween to ensure a consistant speed regardless of the value of startX?
View 1 Repliesis there anyway to change a songs playback speed depending on a speed variable. heres the kicker tho im limited to using only as2.
View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip on my scene which has a speed applied to it making it move across the screen. This is duplicated when it reaches the other end of the screen.On my scene I have some action script which is acting as a timer. After a set time I want it to increase the speed of the movie clips, making the game become "harder". I seem to be able to manipulate the alpha of my movie clips but can't seem to trigger the speed increase.If i use a setInterval it seems to trigger the speed increase but it does it each time the movie clip is duplicated (so the delay resets, it does not change once and apply throughout)However, where I am changing the alpha I cannot seem to change the speed.

View 6 RepliesI have a MovieClip, "my_mc", that is hidden and shown when you MouseOver a grey block that is on the stage, similar to a tool tip. Inside of this MovieClip is a TextField, "my_textbox", and another MovieClip, "my_box". "my_box" is underneath the textbox and will hold the graphics for the tooltip.
What I am trying to do is add a Sprite to "my_box" and set it's alpha to 50%, or 0.5 AS3. Well, I accomplished doing this, however, when you Mouse Out then Mouse Over again, the alpha increases by 50%, to what seems 75% alpha now, instead of staying at 50%. Do it again and it goes up another 50%, so on and so forth.
I have tried setting the "my_box" alpha, as well as the alpha of the Sprite that is drawn inside, and it still does it. Also another piece of info, when I trace the alpha, I get 0.5, even though it appears to be solid red on screen, after a few MouseOver/MouseOuts. The source files are attached, but for those who don't want to download, here is the AS3 code:

However, I don't want all the data to load up at once. I would like it to load the first five records, and after x amount of seconds fade out and fade in with the next five records.
