Professional :: Animation Not Running At All Layers?
Apr 20, 2011
I am having problems getting animations to occur at all levels/layers. So I have the main timeline level and when I drill into that layer, I have a character made up of several graphic symbols - shapes such as arms, legs, torso, etc. When I create keyframes and then try to reposition symbols to create animation, the movement is not appearing at all levels. for instance, if the arm is by the side in frame one, then I go to frame five and drill down into the symbol and reposition, the timeline will show the change from frame 1 to frame five at that level/layer, but not on the main timeline for the entire character.

I am trying to seamlessly loop specific layers containing .swf or .flv movies infinitely, independent of other layers in the timeline.I have attempted to use the gotoAndPlay("x"); method, but the target layer always freezes on the last frame for about .5 seconds before executing the gotoAndPlay command. The only situation in which it doesn't freeze is when frame "x" is the first frame of the project.No other actionscript is being used anywhere else in this project

I have a project for mobile where some of my animations scenes look as though they are winding up or playing in slow motion (from the start). They start out slow for about three seconds, as if they are winding up or in slow motion, and then they run at a normal pace. It only happens on specific animations and is consistent on different devices. Also, once I come back to the scene (revisit), the animations run normally from start to finish.
I have had some success in speeding up some animation by doing the following: In some scenes, the following would occurr: 1) a character was walking 2) the character grew in size though tweening 3) the background was animated as well ect. In other words, there were several things happening in the animation. In this example, I made it less complex by keeping the character the same size and making the background static. This helped alot. However, for the aforemation animations, I have tried everything (I am aware of) and nothing has helped. I'm not sure what to do next.

I am trying to make an animation in which different layers (=images) come into the stage, then stay in place and other layers move in and stay as well. I have done 2 of the layers so far, converted them into movie clips, tweened them etc. When I run the cursor along the timeline, I see the desired result on the stage, ie everything comes in at the right time and stays in place. However, when I export it to view the film, only the first layer comes in, moves into place and stays there, and then nothing happens, ie the second layer never comes in.
I've tried everything I can think of, moving the layers around etc, and have deleted and redone the whole thing many times in an attempt to fix this, but I simply don't know what is wrong.

I am trying to import a simple, small PSD file with 8 layers to animate in flash. Once the file is imported, a lot of fuzzy pixel artifacts appear around the image instead of transparency.Is Flash able to use PSDs with transparent backgrounds?

I'm basically making a animation of someone breathing, with multiple layers. What I want to happen when a user clicks the animation is for it to switch to the next layer seamlessly (skin>muscles>skeleton). Each layer has the same 60 frames. For example, if the skin layer's currentframe was '37' i'd want the muscle layer to start at '38' when clicked.Below is some of the code I already have. I can trace the currentframe of the original mc, however the attached movieclip refuses to gotoAndPlay to that number?[code]

I am trying to create a relatively simple animation in Flash CS5. I've built out 40 seconds of a 3-minute cartoon and now it won't let me add so much as a keyframe without telling me to clear up some virtual memory.I'm running this on a new laptop less than a year old. Lots of hard drive space and 4 GB of RAM. No viruses or anything. Very fresh pc. Nevertheless, I adjusted the virtual memory paging size to the maximum allowed. No change - I get the same error.I've tried opening the existing file on two other computers and Flash CS5 simply crashes when I try to open it.The animation I've built has about 20 layers, each using one symbol per layer. They were created from illustrations saved as PNGs, none of them larger than 200 kb or so. I have a small mp3 audio file I am syncing it to as well. I've set the properties to 550 x 550 pixels with 30 frames per second.I have a deadline for this thing of March 25th and I've been trying to solve the problem on my own for the last two weeks.

I'd like to find the best way to calculate the actual time for the animation to be played. In my scenario, I have a button to start animation and button to stop it. Animation is set to run 3 second. I'd like to know how long the animation did ran after I press the stop button.

I'm just a beginner to actionscripting. I have 3 movie clips in an animation. All I want to do is, I want to start running the first one, upon completion, the second one should start while the first running again. Any approach and the options available in AS2.0?

I'm trying to stop an animation running that I've imported from an .SWF file.I've loaded it using the new URLRequest method, but now I can't seem to talk to it.Is it possible to Talk to it, or should I just leave it in the Library and pull it from there.

I currently have 6 scenes in my current movie. It's going to be an online portfolio and each page is a section of the portfolio. However, I have an animated background (400 frames long) that I want to be played throughout the entire site. Of course, when I try and do this the animation resets every time the scene changes. The best I could do so far is to have it running on every page this way but like i said, it resets every time the scene changes. Is it possible to set this background to run smoothly through the portfolio without resetting?

I'm developing a web application with Flash CS5 and AS3.0. The problem I'm having is this:At a certain state, the application goes to a frame with a "loading..." animation that loops continuously until the next state is reached. The animation is inside a MovieClip that lives on this frame on the stage (I'm not creating or animating it dynamically). While in this state, the app is waiting to receive a large xml file from an XmlSocket connection. The file takes a few seconds (literally - not milliseconds) to be received fully by the Flash player, and during this time the loading animation stops. I believe the socket is blocking the animation thread until it's done receiving the entire file.Does anyone know of a workaround that would allow the animation to keep playing while the socket is receiving? I've seen pseudo-threading hacks, but those always deal with computations or other activities that can be accomplished by calling a call-back function multiple times. Since I'm just listening on an open socket, there's no callback I could pass to a pseudo-thread.

has anybody a solution to this "Distribute to layers" - Bug. Every time i try to use this feature, flash is prompting a failure. As an animator, i am used to use this all the time. if i dont get this fixed, cs4 is worthless to me.

I have been tasked to create banner that has four mouseover areas. The main body of the banner--which includes hyperlinks--and the background of the entire banner must change as the user mouses over the four areas. See the diagrams at the following link (it is not working properly):I attempted to complete this task as follows, but it really isn't behaving properly. I created a layer of buttons and text, and set the alpha levels to 0 for the "over" state of each button. I then created four separate layers containing the appropriate content. When the user mouses over a button on the left, the proper layer would be displayed. I planned to use Actionscript to accomplish this; pseudocode here:
IF button1.mouseover == true THEN { display layer1, hide layers 2, 3, and 4 }
IF button2.mouseover == true THEN { display layer2, hide layers 1, 3, and 4 }
IF button3.mouseover == true THEN { display layer3, hide layers 1, 2, and 4 }

I'm trying to create a type of news flash file with four panels, each with a different coloured background and diferent text (from xml file). Each panel will show for say 4 seconds. My flash file has four layers, each with a different coloured background, and following each other on timeline to create one movie. The actionscript is stopping at the end of the 1st layer on the timeline, so only the first panel is showing text from the xml file, but not the other three.

How does one select layers then bring them into a new MovieClip with their artwork and functionality etc intact.
I have a load of layers which together form a map with animations that run on it. A static key with a few buttons runs the animations on the map. I need to pan/zoom this map and as such need to package all these layers that form the map up into something that can be referred to in the coding for the pan and zoom functions.
I created a new layer in my timeline, called it MapPanZoom, then went Insert>new>movieClip.
I now need to remove the maps layers from the timeline and into the timeline for the movieClip I just created. How is this done ?
Leaves behind the static key that sits outside of the map, when a button in the key is clicked, I hope to see it run the animation on the map, and have a user able to zoom and pan the map whilst it runs.
I tried selecting the layers then edit>copy, then opening MapPanZoom movieClip from Library and edit>paste, nothing happened. Planned to delete the layers if it had worked out of the original scene1.

The animator said that he has created two symbols: one for the body, and another symbol inside the body symbol for the head.What I don't understand is how he translated the layers over into the head symbol. When I click on the head symbol, all of the layers disappear and I cannot edit an object individually within a layer.

I want to know how can I mask an image on one layer which should enogh for other movie clips. Like the following ...
1) First layer ........................ Actionscript
2) Mask layer ....................... Rounded rectange with some design
2) Image layer ...................... Best image (as a background for all other movie clips)
3) Movie Clips layer .............. 10 Movie clips (which are like slides and will be act like one webpage each)
What I want is the mask layer (Layer 2) should be enogh for all the movie clips in layer 3. No need to mask in each movie. I tried in the same sequence but it did not work for me.

I am by no means a Flash power-user but I am accustomed to labeling layers instead of leaving the default "Layer 1, Layer 2, etc."Now that I have Flash Pro CS4 I am unable to do that with any effectiveness. When I double-click on the default layer name, that field should become editable. The problem is that it's only editable for a split second. Unless I type a character as soon as I lift my finger from the second of the double-click - I dont get to edit that field.

all the layers are displayed as outlines.I can assure you that outline mode is NOT switced on "globally" or for each layer.I have tried toggling the icons on and off to see if that would reset it, but it did not.Every new document is doing this, even after relaunching the program and rebooting the OS, Preview and Published display correctly, it is only in the the working environment that things aren't right.None of the other workstations are doing this, just this one.I did an update, but the issue persisted.
The weirdest part about it is, when I gave him a file created on my laptop to see what would happen, everything was displayed normally,New layers added to this document also displayed normally. We have iMac workstatios running Snow Leopard if that makes a difference.This is Flash CS5 by the way.Other than doing a re-install,

I have a flash file with a solid colour layer over a part of my visual that I have sent to 60% opacity using the alpha colour effect. All looks great in flash, but when I publish the file as a swf - the colour block is solid. I'm assuming I'm using the wrong export options, but don't really know the difference between them all. I'm publishing under flash lite 4 as I was told I needed to use this to make my movie compatible over mobile devices as well and normal web browers.
