I would like to animate an object (a circle for example) in motion tween, but with the effect of leaving trace/trail as it progresses throughout the stage. I'd like it to look exactly as in the last frame when the option "onion skin" is pressed/marked (with "onion all" checked/marked, for all the frames). So, once again, I'd like to get this effect but in motion, because it occurs/is viewable only in last frame.
View 2 RepliesI just recently got the trial version of Flash CS4, and I want to know.. Is it possible to animate a joint with simple position scripting(just editing the x and y coordinates), while letting the bones tool take care of the rest of the animation, eg. joint rotations etc. Or does the bones tool only work in the document stage? (I would try.. but I find that I can barely make an onEnterFrame in AS3.. This jump from AS2 to 3 really is quite big.)

How could I assign a keyboard shortcut to the "edit multiple frames" button, and setting onion skin options?I don't see these options anywhere in Flash's standard top menus.These are the buttons I'm talking about:Also, how about a keyboard shortcut for setting brush sizes?The only way I can figure out how to set this is from the tools panel dropdown.

View 1 RepliesThere are 3 menu buttons that are functioning: Home (no content), webdesign, prints.In the web design and print menus you can browse with the arrows left and right.If you click just on the menu buttons the animate on and of works perfect, but as soon as you use the browse buttons, and later on you are trying to go for example from the prints to the webdesign, the animate off function stop working.
This is the code on the the main time line:
var currentPage = "contentHome_mc";
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
animateOn("contentHome_mc");

I'm trying to make an animation of a drawer in a cabinet opening. These are the two images I have:
I can't work out how to animate it. I tried a shape tween with shape hints on the corners, and that didn't work.
I've been given a complete soundtrack, about 15 minutes long, complete with background music and dialog.I'm animating the whole thing as once scene so that I can keep all the dialog synced up. My question is, what's the best way to organize my animation?The way I've been doing it, I try to keep my objects on their own layers organized into folders, but even so I end up with a very large and confusing amount of stuff in the layers.But should I just be cutting the soundtrack into scenes and animating the movie using scenes instead?I've never actually used scenes.If I cut the soundtrack how would I avoid audio glitches when the whole animation plays back?

I was wondering if it was possible to motion tween an flv while it's playing? So far I can mask the flv with an animated object, animate objects behind the video, and in front. I tried animating the video itself and as soon as the movie plays in preview the animation stops.

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to create an accordion menu that contains three submenus. The idea is that when you mouseover one submenu (or rectangle, to keep it simple) that the rectangles which were previously covering it will move to reveal it. Menus of this type can be found at the bottom of nvidia's site [URL] for reference.
At first I tried creating each function, which will make the rectangles move, separately but this resulted in three very repetitive functions and there seemed like there should be a better way, especially since I'd like a good way to add and remove submenus. The animation did work then. I tried to clean it up by creating a for loop that would move each rectangle but now, for some reason, it doesn't work. It is still missing some key points such as utilizing the mOver variable to figure out when each rectangle is moused over and act appropriatly
