What I am trying to do is a motion tween with two movie clips.
Clip A stays still all the time.
Clip B is first in front of Object A, it moves right until it no longer 'touches' A, then it starts moving left again, but this time goes BEHIND the object A.
The problem is, I do not know how to make the movie clip B go behind A.
I'm creating a game where certain movie clips execute a motion tween when a button is clicked, and stay still when not clicked. I know that this sequence would probably use coding such as if...button pressed execute movie clip/else...
But I'm not sure how to code it. Also is it better to have the motion tweens as a nested animation in each movie clip, or should I just create the tweens on the main stage. And if I make them nexted animations how do you say in a function to play the nested animation?
If i have a clip with a bunch of stuff inside it (on layers) like other clips, bitmaps, etc. and perform a tween on that clip (via tween class), the stuff inside the clip seems to alpha at different rates.
For instance, i have a clip with an empty movieclip which loads a bitmap image and on top of the bitmap image, i have a gradient feathered edge (.png) bitmap and on top of that I have some dynamic text (embedded fonts).
The bitmap is supposed to create a feathered edge on the photo but since they alpha at different rates, you always see the hard edge of the photo...
is there a solution like cacheAsBitmap which would let the whole clip alpha at once? If it's cacheAsBitmap, i must be using it incorrectly, b/c it's not working!
I am trying to target multiple tweens, trying to turn their visibility false/true. I have named each tween in the tween properties box, and I have targeted them like this: plane.plane2.tween1._visible=false (and so on), but no go! Only the first of the seven is actually affected--the others are not.
View 11 RepliesI am trying to create a program using random motion of two movie clips and uses hitTest to determine whether the two objects collide with each other.

I have 10 objects in 10 layers to make a single logo. I have created them using flash drawing objects. Now I would like each object to come one by one on stage using motion tween. How can I go further? Do I need to make each object a movie clip before set it motion tween? Or do I need to make a single movie with all 10 objects as combined? Please note that I need each object to come on stage one by one (not a whole logo on once). Please provide help or any example tutorial link.
View 3 RepliesI'm having a problem getting a movie clip to Motion Tween from a positive value to a negative value. I have two movie/buttons on my stage. When you click one the other movie Tweens from a y value of 0 to a y value of 400. That works fine. However, when you click the other button, the movie clip should then Tween from a y value of 400 back to a y value of 0. I cannot get this reverse tween to work.
Code:
// code for positive tween
function movePeople(event:MouseEvent):void {
movePlacesTween = new Tween(pageloaderB, "y", Strong.easeOut, 0, 400, 0.5, true);
}
[Code].....
The second tween never reverses. It just stays in place.
I've also tried the same tweens using the y value of pageloaderB... so tweening from pageloaderB.y to pageloaderB.y+400, which works, but the reverse does not -- pageloaderB.y+400 to pageloaderB.y.
why the reverse tween is not functioning?
Does anyone know whether it would be possible to set a motion path for a movie clip and to have the speed of the tween set as a variable which can be increased or decreased by the user during the movie?

I am writing a flash card game which slides the next card onto the stage when the user presses a button.There are 24 cards, and I have written a separate tween for each one... I think there is probably a more efficient way to do this. Here is what I have:

I have created 3 movie clips and put them on my stage. I was able to get them to appear in the order that I want, however, how do I get them to dissappear in the order that I want? Here is the code that I have so far:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
new Tween(myLogo_mc, "_alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 100, 1, true);
if (_alpha == "100") {
[code]....
I would like to have the last two MC fade out (alpha down) and the myLogo_mc stay visible on the stage.
i want to have two different tweens on different movieclips within same layer...but what happens is..it groups both the mc into a single graphic...and applies tween for the entire graphic..and also i loose the Mc instance.
how can i achieve diff tweens on diff objects within a layer? More important is dont want to loose the MC instance
code of loading random movie clips for example fac1_mc,fac2_mc,fac3_mc and etc, i want them to display random on my screen with tween transition i'm gna post the fla so you can see what i want to do, or the other way is to make more external swf's with picture animated and load them random with a 10sec between them. here is the link to my .fla with movieclips animated, and dunno how to make them to display random and animated

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.

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]...
Is there a way to convert a classic tween to a motion tween?

View 1 RepliesI'd like to control a movie clips current frame by another movie clips action script.I realise the following controls the outside (root) frame time line:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
}
but I'm not sure how to apply that to my other movie clip. I'm guessing it would be something like this:
on(release){
_*movie_clip_name*.gotoAndStop(1);
}
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 ?
