IDE :: IK-bones - Mix Shapes And Movieclips In A IK-skeleton?
May 23, 2011
1. Is it possible to mix shapes and movieclips in a IK-skeleton? In other words, connect shapes and movieclips?
2. When bending a shape with a couple of bones too much, the shape will become transparent at places it overlaps itself. Is there any way to prevent this? I want to create bodies that bend in all sorts of ways but I don't want to see through the shape at places where it overlaps itself.
3. It will not look very realistic if all body parts just can rotates 360 degrees around the z-axis. They should be able to scale down to create a 3D-illusion.Is it possible to resize the length of a bone and at the same time make the movieclip to also shrink in one axis?
4. Look at the file. Is there any way to prevent the body from being stretched out when he lifts the arms?

I have a question about shapes (i mean the flash.display.Shape class). Is it possible to import Shapes directly from the library as Shapes and not as Sprites/MovieClips? Shapes are supposed to be faster than MovieClips/Sprites, right? So why is it only possible to import MCs/Sprites from the library? I understand that generally shapes could be created solely by actionscript, but in my case the shape comprises of many points and is curved - so it's quite infeasible.
Is there maybe some sort of plugin to generate code that would draw the desired shape from a drawn shape in CS4? And a last one: Are there any benchmarks out there for performance comparison between sprites/mcs/shapes? How much performance do i loose by using a sprite instead of a shape?

I have a "person" so to speak, in flash, with a few different parts; head, pants, shirt and hat. There can be, for example, 10 different colors of shirts for the person. I've done a lot of the AS3 code behind it, but I'm awful in flash, and I've had a ton of trouble with this.
What I'm really trying got figure out (in vain) is how I can have basically a blank skeleton structure (i.e. I'm trying to have "blank" or "placeholder" symbols connected by Inverse Kinematics as bones) consisting of the pants, shirt, & head, and when I find out that shirt #6 needs to be on the person... put it in that placeholder. Does that make sense? That's the big problem. The other thing is that I've had nothing but trouble figuring out how to have, for example, one or two outlines of shirts, and when it sees shirt #6, it fills in that shirt with blue dynamically. But that might be for another question.
How I have it now: In AS3, each of the parts, the shirt, the pants, the head & hat, have their own custom classes behind movieclips, and for example, I've got it set up that the body contains the pants, shirt and head classes, and the head contains the hat class, etc.

I can place the movieclips randomly on the stage but I am trying to randomly populate shapes with movieclips.
Code:
ball_mc.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth;
I tried just replacing stage.stageWidth with box_mc.width but that didnt work. Also, I wanted to create more complicated shapes for their bounding area then just a movieclip's rectangle.

When my site finishes loading, just before the animation begins, I see for a very short period of time (just a frame I guess) weird images, actually the outlines of some elements (screenshot 1) that are supposed to have alpha = 0 and visible = false, and a weird shape which I believe has something to do with a big gradient - also with alpha = 0 and visible = false (screenshot3) also the preloader is all messed up (screenshot2) .ve made a few changes and these weird images and outlines persist for a longer time.

I have to animate a hand(upto wrist) for keyboard playing. It has to be done in runtime of the project. For making it more clear, I have saved all the informations in a file about the animation(time, position of fingers etc). How can I animate the fingers(wrist included)? I also need to know how to use a 2D hand with bones in flex.

I have now tried to animate a human character made of movie clips using the bones tool 3 times from scratch and every time it has gone extremely buggy. I move an arm and other parts of the body randomly move to different positions. I fix one arm then I notice other parts of the body are all screwed up.

an animation created with the Bones tool. I'm using a bone system to deform a shape.In the meantime I decided that the color of the IK shape should be other than the current one. Nonetheless I can't find a way to change its color while maintaining the shape within the armature.

I 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.)

I am working on a character that I will animate with bones. I painted the parts (left them as vector shapes), kept them all separate from each other on different layers and not touching. Added bones to each part. Flash made the armature layers each time. This is all inside a movie clip.I now want to copy and paste each part with bones/armature into a new movie clip so I can make mini animations, like a walk cycle, for example with out having to keep redoing all of my work. Somehow - I did this once.
I selected, copied, switched into the empty movieclip pasted it and there is was - armature layer, bones with object. All there. Moves fine When I tried to do it with the next part on a new layer, it just copied the vector shape with no bones. It is making me crazy. How do I copy and paste or duplicate an armature? I did it once, so I can be done...I included screen shots of the parts and the new movie clip - the body went with the bones (automatically made an armature layer when pasting) the leg did not.Attachments:creen shot 2010-01-01 at 2.51.20 PM.png (38.1 K)

I've been trying to figure out how to add a bone in the middle of an armature. Currently I have a bone from the neck to the shoulder, but would like to add an bone in between the neck and shoulder. Does anyone know how to insert the bone without having to reconstruct the entire branch?

When animating a bone system armature: how do you move the Pose keyframes on the timeline to tweak the animation and timing?I've tried everything I could think of and it just won't let me move the Pose keyframes forward or backward in time.

When I close the file (making sure to save) and reopen it. All the frame #'s attributed to the hand symbol revert back to frame 1.Meaning I have to redo every hand pose again and again and again. More importantly when the animation is approved and I send it off, when the client opens it the animation is incomplete.

I'd like to know what is the best way for me to create a bones structure on a simple stickman. I've tried various ways but cannot get the hang of it and I'm usually stuck with unable to add a limb or something other, below is a simple representation of my stickman. I want all joints on the body to be movable, including both feet and the head. I just don't know where to start. My best so far was attempting to start at the hips and move up to the neck and then the head second but that didn't work out.

[URL] I just watched a tutorial where they apply bnes to deform a "bitmap" image. Their image didn't distort like my image. Why is this happening. I imported an image then I "selected "break apart" and then I added bones to it. When I move the bones it makes the image distort, but in this tutorial here the image doesn't distort. What is wrong?

I have a Flex project that is the application master for my site. It loads a swf I built in Flash which has a runtime bones animation using a Loader. The runtime bones work if they are loaded without Flex.
Is there a way to make bones work if they are loaded by Flex?

Created a runtime bone animation (more complicated than the one included in this example).When I loaded the swf using the Loader class in master application, the runtime animation stopped working.I included my source files for the bones, and another fla that only calls the Document class Main.as.Try running bonesRuntime.html, and the runtime bones work; call bonesSwfLoader.html and only the authortime bones work.

I have a game design project that I have to animate characters for. The Bone tool in Flash seems like the perfect tool for the job!Here's my problem: I can draw things in Flash and rig them with the Bone tool and animate them fine. However, I'm much more comfortable with Illustrator. But whenever I try to bring in external artwork, I get lots of errors.Create (solid color, single object) body parts as layers in Illustrator. Import Illy file to stage in Flash. Drag bone tool across body. Body is highlighted but I can't connect the other objects. I realize the Armature is only above the body layer and all the other layers are on top. Drag Armature layer to top. Still no luck. The bone just doesn't care about the other objects.Should I make all the elements into MovieClips? That hasn't worked when I've tried it. Should I import differently? Should I make the entire character into a movieclip and then rig the instance on the stage?
I'll be exporting it to PNGs at the end, so I don't need it to be robust down the line.I get other errors with other importing methods too, but I can't recall them ("Can't connect...something" when using a PSD).

In Flash CS5.5 can you use Actionscript to "pin up" bones with a (x,y) & (x,y) command? If not I think this would be a great feature for an CS5.5 version!

Im trying to create a drag and drop module which can be used to build an Image. EX: Using a triangle and rectangles to create a House.
I have created the drag and drop module but I cant make them fix with each other.
I'll explain the functionality a little bit, but forgive my English if any mistakes since it's not my native language. The user is given a set of shapes and a question like "CREATE A HOUSE" so he should be able to drag the shapes that is given and and build the house.
