Keeping An Object On The Stage After Tweening It?
Oct 18, 2009
Let's say I have an object, and I use a motion tween to animate it around. Great. Now, I want that object to stay at the final location while other stuff happens on the stage. I can't figure out an efficient way to do this. You can't copy individual frames of a tween, and copying and pasting the whole tween and breaking it up into individual frames and then removing all but the last frame is a bit... time-consuming.how I might be going about using tweens wrong? I feel like I'm just not doing things the way it was designed.

I have simple image gallery, where images are placed one next to another and the mask is revealing only one of them. Now I want to tween position of the images, but when I do that the mask is "traveling" alongside with the images..

I'm making this banner, or FMA if you rather call it that, for a company (school assignment). I have some text fading in and out displaying the message. But I want an interactive FMA.I want to make some buttons, and when you go mouse-over on them, I want a picture to be displayed (different image for each button), WHILE the animation keeps going. Thats not the tough part.However, when the animation repeats (starts from the beginning), and if I'm holding the cursor over the button connected to the picture, the picture disappears and I have to go over the button again.

In my attempt to keep a movieclip on the bottom, I used this code: ActionScript Code:setChildIndex(movieclip,0);However, whenever I play an animation over it that is NOT in a movieclip, it will always cover the animation.For example, I have a shape tween that is not a movieclip. Whenever I lay this movieclip over it with the above code, it always covers the non-movie clip. Is there any way to prevent this?

I am creating a site with lots of big scrollable text-boxes in it. Each text-box object contained some text, and two buttons to scroll up/down with. The scroll buttons each had an event listener so the text moved when you clicked them.
These text-boxes were stacked on-top of each other with all except one having an alpha of 0. If I wanted to change which text-box is active I move it to the front and call a small TweenLite animation.
To the left (outside of the text-box objects) I have an object similar to a menu. It also has about 12 or so event-listeners (one for every button).
This turns out cause A LOT of lag an it's very troublesome for my laptop to run it. reduce the number of event-listeners on the stage and also the amount of text-boxes.
What I was thinking was to add the text-boxes using AS so I only have 1 on the stage at a time but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I also thought it might be better to just use 1 big event-listeners and from mouseX and mouseY decide which button the user is trying to push.

I've got a frame of code with two boxes on the stage. If you click on of them, it runs this code:
ActionScript Code:
charSelect=1;
And if you click on the other box it runs this code:
ActionScript Code:
charSelect=2;
Now, on my main frame of code, I've got an init() function which runs all the initialise commands. It includes this:
ActionScript Code:
function init() //Loads assets to the stage and starts animations {
if (charSelect == 1) {
character.addChild(character);
} if (charSelect == 2) {
characterFemale.addChild(character);
}}
These functions basically let you select which character is loaded to the stage with the instance name 'character'. All my control code is written in relation to the instance name 'character'. However, after I've clicked the box which selects which character to load to the screen, I get this error message:
ActionScript Code:
Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 2, Line 155 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type Class.

I'm trying to write a function that keeps a running count whenever a button is clicked - and then writes the count to a Shared Object cookie. Here's the code:
Code:
function counterVar() {
var elemSharedObject:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("elementChoices", "/");
[Code]....
Everytime it runs the count gets reset to "1", endlessly.

Is there an easier way to set up 6 different similar tweens? I can't seem to get a "for" loop to work - Each of the nested clips is sitting on the main stage. The following code works, but it's way too long:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
// var next1Alpha:Object = new Tween(panel1.next_mc, "_alpha",
Regular.easeOut, 100, 40, 0.75, true);
next1Alpha.onMotionFinished = function() {

Im trying to load a movie clip onto the stage as soon as you enter the main movie. I want to use action script to tween with a little ease in and out. I found a usefull tutorial that almost does what Im looking for, but it uses a button to call the clip onto the stage.Here's the code on the action layer:
myButton_btn.onRelease = function() {
tweenBar();
};

i've been struggling with the following:
i am creating a list of buttons with an attachMovie. the AS is :
//as
var i = -1;
while(++i<userlist.length){
var user = userlist[i];
[Code].....
okay the problem is this: then i assign an on click function to every button right in the while loop that uses the data parameter of the "ob" object and when i play the movie the data parameter is always the parameter of the last object created for all the buttons. I know why this is happening- it overWrites the old "ob" with the new with every itteration of the loop.
But how would i go differently about creating an individual "ob" for each button created and still be able to have a function with a data parameter like this.onRelease.userClicked(data)?

I've been working on an interactive map of the counties in Montana. When a user clicks on a county, I'd like the map to zoom to the county's extent and center it on the stage. Every county is a child of a larger container (the state, names allcnt_mc). I've set things up in my function so that when you click on a county POINT variables with all the numbers you need are created. I just cannot get the desired effect and I think I am missing something basic in regards to the geometry of my stage. Can anyone see something I am missing? I set this up so that the parent is tweened to a new location equal to stage center minus the called child's x,y distance from stage center. Essentially, this should center the child over the stage center, no?
function tweenparent(e:MouseEvent):void{
//create vars for x,y cordinates of clicked county (child)
var calledx:Number=allcnt_mc[xmlData.row.NAME[e.currentTarget.ivar]].x;

I condensed my problem down to the lines of code below.I think the code is pretty self explanitory. My problem is that for a reason I can't figure out, it doesn't tween the alpha back to 100. It simply snaps it back to 100 abruptly What am I doing wrong here?
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

I'm after a way to implement a similar style of navigation as the blue strip that enters from the right hand side of the stage on this website:
[URL]
I'm fairly sure it will revolve around the use of a stage.stageWidth listener on an mc and then subtracting a certain amount to ensure it doesn't span the entire width..

We got an object tweening from point A to point B, and we can learn a few things from it using the onUpdate function.The program can be constantly storing it's actual x/y position and compare it to the previous position, versus time elapsed.I've seen several approaches but none seemed very impressive.Also, perhaps there is an engine (or more) that can return the object's current speed via the unUpdate function.How would YOU retrieve the object's current speed/velocity (pixels per second or millisecond) during a tween ?

I'm getting the following error: Motion tweening will not occur on layers with ungrouped shapes or on layers with more than one group or symbol. I don't have any ungrouped shapes (it's all text), each layer has 5 instances of only one symbol (keyframes), no objects are grouped and text is all static text.
When watching the animation, the first word (web) looks fine, on the second word (design) the tween fails on the last couple of frames of that clip (the blur filter disappears), the third word (and) is OK, and on the forth word (development) the blur filter is not applied to the last 16 frames of that clip.I broke each animation into its own MC thinking that was causing the issue, but that didn't fix anything.

I have a stage bigger than the size of a browser, and I have a camera to navigate around the area.Now when I click on a button, I will have something pop up blocking the whole browser, like a lightbox effect with another box on top of the blocker.The problem now is, when the blocker pops up, its position is not on the TOP LEFT corner of the browser. I've tried stage.align, but it would makes the camera or other object on stage position run.So is there any other way I could get the blocker to position according to the browser, not the stage?[code]

I'm trying to create a boundary for a player object, controlled with arrow keys, in my game using the main stage's height and width. For example, one test point is at the top edge of the player object's bounding box so that when the player object's head touches the stage's top edge, the player can't move anymore to the north. The player object is manually instantiated to the center of the stage by using the Flash stage editor so it will start at the center before the program starts.The problem is that right at the start of the program, I can no longer move the player object up or down with the arrow keys but I can still move it left or right. The intention is to allow the player to move north until the player object's head touches the top edge of the main stage.[code]

The following is that long only because I gave examples of what I want to know, not because it is complex .I have three basic questions regarding AS 3.0 classes.
1. How can I make a class object interact with an object on stage?
For example, when I have a square (mc_Square) with class "square" attached to it and I want it to trace "Colliding!" and print the X and Y of the mc_Box on contact with an on-stage *hollow* box (mc_Box) that has no class attached to it.how to do it vice-versa would also be awesome .
2. How can I make a class object interact with the same class object? For example, when I have two squares (mc_Square) that both have the class "square" attached to it and when they collide, it prints the X and Y of both of them.
3. How can I make a class object interact with a different class object?
For example, when I have two squares mc_Square1 with class "square1 (that also has a variable Primary=true written in it)" and a mc_Square2 with class "square2"; When they collide, the one with Primary=true would be removed and it's X,Y position traced.

I'm trying to get an object to increase in size the lower it goes down the stage, and decrease in size the high it moves up the stage.
It only needs to increase or decrease by a small amount. Basically, it's for a game character. To ad realism to his movements, it would be nice to have this feature.
This is where i'm up to so far:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
[code]....
I think I need something like:
if (object moves up)
decrease
else if (object moves down)
increase

i'm trying to use code so if i type in -10 to 10 the object will move up or down the y axis. The code i'm using at the moment calculates how far to move it from the number inputed, then it removes te object and places it in the required position. However doing the removeChild technique messes up when having many on the stage. I was wondering if anyone knew a way of calculating the rating and then using it to move the object on the stage without removing it and adding it. Here is the code i'm using to move it. OR a way in which i can remove certain objects on the stage using remove child

I am making a game where I reference "Player_mc". There are many different characters you can play as, so there can't be only one movieclip being called "Player_mc" I have each character (movieclip) in the library. How can I call upon them to come to the stage and be given the instance name "Player_mc".Also how can I remove them when the character is changed?[code]

I'm trying to make a function for centering movieclips to other movieclips, or centering the movieclips to the stage. My problem is movieclips use _width & _height and the stage uses width & height without the underscore.I'm passing the 2 objects as parameters to the function "center" (reference for centering, and the object I want to center), but I don't know how to make the function know if I'm passing a movieclip or the stage
