Professional :: Adding Animation To Video?
Apr 5, 2010
I've searcehd but haven't found anything similar. I am trying to add animation to an educational video that I produced. I am new to Flash but already love it - have used for several presentations at work with my higher students and it's been really, really effective so far.
I have done two things: Imported an .flv of the video that I am trying to add animation to but only see the first and last shots in my timeline. How can I add text and tweens throughout the movie using flash? Or can't I?

[Code]...
however, the 'hit zone' for the button shows up from frame 1 of the animation. is there a way of getting the hit zone to start when the button shows up?

I need to add a control bar (play, pause, progress bar) to a SWF video in Dreamweaver. It can be very simple, the look and feel is not that important, it just needs to be functional. The only way I can figure out to add one is to import a FLV file into Dreamweaver instead. The problem with this is that I can't figure out how to export a FLV file directly from Flash CS3, and using a converter program to create a FLV file nullifys the links in the menu at the end of the video. Any help would be great! This seems like it should be really simple to accomplish, but I have been pulling my hair out over it all day now.

I am having a problem with a project for school. In a video I am making, I need to add animation over a live video. For example, in one scene, I have videotaped myself running.Now, I want to add the picture of a ghost chasing me. Both layers are moving. My question is, can I do this easily in flash? I have not used Flash before and if it is complicated, I would rather not to try. I've talked to some friends who have used Flash before and some say it is the perfect program for my need while others claim it would either not be able to do it, or be really hard to.
Is Flash suitable to my needs? If not, is there another program that is?

Is it possible to make a animation using video clips? What I want to do is have the same clip playing side by side in a loop at different speeds - I would like the animation to play without it having to be clicked on too.

I embedded a video flv to use as part of the animation but its breaking apart the rest of the animations. Started well then suddenly flash stopped the flv at certain points and then actions to other parts of the slideshow started to look like a fast forward and jumping transitions. No errors on the output panel.

I want to import a video for optional playback into a flash animation. Now, the animation is a loop and replays after 120 frames or so. I noticed when I exported my moviemaker video and imported it into flash, it automatically asked me if i wanted it to arrange it to fit or not. the thing is, i don't want the video to automatically play like flash does for default. What i want is to be able to have it look like how a video looks in youtube 'before' you play it..you know how it has that 'arrow' sitting on it with a black screen showing
you that it's ready to be played if you want it to? well, that's what i want. so, if someone stumbles upon my animation loop on the web, they will see a little video in the upper corner that has the ability to play but it doesn't start
playing right when they get to the page.Also, when they play the video, the length is obviously longer than the loop of my animation, but I obviously don't want it cutting off when my loops ends and restarts, so is there a way to code where it will keep playing on it's own timeline apart from what the flash animation loop is doing? (it should be able to play all the way through, end, and be able to be played again no matter how many loops the animation goes through)second thing i want, is the video to be small..like maybe 220 X 180 in size.
when i exported in Moviemaker, I actually got a video size that I liked but the quality looked poor and sounded poor (I went with the Pocket PC export 148kbps or something like that). Now, was the quality poor just because Flash had to cut it off because of the animation loop restarting or is it going to be poor just cuz PocketPC export is a bad choice? In other words, what export choice should I go with in Moviemaker to get the desired results i want (with the desired width + height I want as well)?
Do you have to code to make it be a video that's got the arrow/blk bkgrd i.e. not playable til a user clicks...or do you just have to export it a certain way in Moviemaker to make it's format that way?

Flash newbie here, using CS5 on a Mac. I've created several Flash animation files, all about 25 seconds long. The animations are fairly simple, about 6 layers each, but all contain a lot of movement. I need to turn the animations into videos that can be played on computers that don't have any Adobe programs, i.e. Quicktime. This is where my issue comes in. The published .swf files work wonderfully, but when I export the files to Quicktime video (.mov) the motion seems to leave a "trail" of images behind it. The static remnants go away after a few seconds but are replaced by new remnants of the current movement. I've played around with the quality and size of the videos, but nothing seems to have helped. I've tried used Xilisoft video converter to convert the .swf files into .avi or .mp4, but the files couldn't be uploaded. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what steps I could take to export my .fla or .swf files into high-quality video files?

I have a video player that plays videos loaded via XML and selected using a combbox. I just got the play and pause buttons to work. What I'm attempting to do now is be able to hit next or previous buttons and select the next or pevious video from the XML file, and update the displayed/selected file in the combobox, my thought was to somehow set the previous/next buttons to directly manipulate the combobox, but nothing I've tried so far has worked.
ActionScript Code:
import fl.data.DataProvider;
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);

ok lets say you create a button that when held down play an animation of 20 frames if realsed it goes to frame one and stops if held down it plays out this animation. for the topic lets say you have a fire animation and you want the fire to apear and if the user hold its down the animation reaches the end of the time line and loops back and plays the last 5 frames of the animation and as soon as it is let go it goes to and stops at frame one. Well i know how to make a button that when held down plays out an animation. And i know how to say when released goes to and stops at frame one. What i dont know how to do is to loop the fire at the last 5 or 6 frames so the user can hold it down all day long and play out that animation.

I have a certain set of motion twains that I've successfuly completed, they constantly loop right now (default), and is saved in the SWF file.I'd like to take that finished looping animation, and insert it within another animation (a) that can be played with a play button, and stopped/resetted with a stop button.How do I insert the completed looping animation into the main animation? And is there something special I have to do in the actionscript of the start and stop buttons so that the "inner" looping animation will start and stop with the "outer" main animation?

On a horizontal bar, text scrolls from left to right, continuously. The text is a fixed string of city names, and I've made it so that it loops nicely. This horizontal bar with scrolling text is part of a vertical animation, scrolling the bar in and out of view. The vertical tween starts after two seconds. When the vertical tween starts, the horizontal animation has started as well. At the beginning and end of the vertical tween, the horizontal tween starts over. I want it to continu.

I would like to add a Fast forward button to my animation. I tried to modify existing AS2 code but I just cant get it to work. I'm getting errors about _root and it doesn't seem to like controller__mc. The AS2 version that works is:
forward_btn.onPress=function (){
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("controller_mc",1);
controller_mc.onEnterFrame=function(){
_root.gotoAndStop(_root._currentframe+3);
}}
And here is my sorry try at it in AS3:
forward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN , playMovie);{
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("controller_mc",1);
} controller_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DO WN, playMovie);
_root.gotoAndStop(_root._currentframe+3); {
stop();
}

I am working on a game and want to reward the player with an animation at the end of a level. I have created a time and added the animation to the stage but I cannot figure out how to remove the animation once the timer has completed.
Code: Select all/* Simple Timer
Displays a countdown timer in the Output panel until 30 seconds elapse. This code is a good place to start for creating timers for your own purposes.
Instructions:
1. To change the number of seconds in the timer, change the value 30 in the first line below to the number of seconds you want.
var celebration:Celebration;
var fl_TimerInstance:Timer = new Timer(1000,30);
fl_TimerInstance.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, fl_TimerHandler);
fl_TimerInstance.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, removeTimer);
fl_TimerInstance.start();

I need to add interactivity to an .flv video - here's what i need and what I'm guessing I should do, but don't know how as yet:
> I need to add mouse 'hotspots' to items in a video when the items appear. The hotspots would include external weblinks >> My guess is that I could add cuepoints to the flv which dynamically load mc's from the library - the mc's would need to be invisible until mouseover wherein they animate/reveal a list of links.
The mc mouseover is bog standard stuff, but I just don't know how to integrate this into an flv - if indeed this is the correct way to go about doing this ..

create a watermark that fades into my videos 20 or so seconds in, then fades out after another 10 seconds.
Here's what I've done so far in Flash CS4:
- Import Video
- Pointed the "player" to an external URL for the video.
- Selected a generic Skin
The video plays well, all is in order.
Now, to add a watermark to the player. I figured you'd simply import the new animated SWF file, then write some Actions to tell it when to fade in and fade out. Not that I know how to do that at all .
I'd even be up for other options, if this simply won't work I've thought of pushing all my videos through a third-party program to brand the video with an animated watermark, is there such a thing?

I created 5 swfs (simple, short animations) The swfs are named "movie1," "movie2," and so on. I want to import all 5 movie clips and thread them together so that they play one after the other inside the timeline of a new Flash Document. I am hoping to have "movie 1" play, stop, have "movie 2" play, stop and so on until the 5th "movie plays then stops (no looping necessary). It will be played on a Mac laptop and not online.
I've been fiddling with timeline actions for 2 days and can't figure how to lead one movie to the other. I've been using Action Script 2 so far. What I've done is create 5 layers (1 for each clip)
"movie1" is on layer 1, frame 1
"movie2" is on layer 2, frame 2
"movie3" is on layer 3, frame 3
"movie4" is on layer 4, frame 4
"movie5" is on layer 5, frame 5

I'm trying to create a flash video that will incorporate powerpoint-like slides along with video footage. So for instance I will have slide 1 (graphic) - slide 2 (video clip) - slide 3 (text). I have used CS4 before for one of my classes but that was a little while ago, and I feel like I'm starting over again. When I import the first graphic (.png), is there an option to have it resize to fit the stage?

I imported an avi video to flash, converted it to flv with Adobe media encoder, and did some symbol animation on top of it.How do I export an avi video so that the video I imported is actually playing, and not just to see the skin and flv icon? When I test the video it makes it in swf form and I'd rather not convert it any further and mess up it's quality.Is it possible to view the video in work space while animating symbols over it (I kinda did it by heart)?

I am currently working on a flash website that has several flv videos on it. Since the website layout has a slight tilt, I have had to transform the videos to slightly tilt as well. The problem that I am having is that when I do this the image becomes very pixelated and the edges of the video become jagged. I have somewhat fixed the edges issue by making a mask around it but i really dont know how to make the resolution better, or what causes it to loose resolution when slightly transformed. The size of the videos is the same as encoded. All I do is tilt them upwards on the right side a bit.
