Professional :: CS4 New-style Keyframing - Photo Appears On The Screen And Gradually Grows In Size While Fading Out
Jan 12, 2009
just another CS4 newbie in a panic about the "new skool" tweening. I'm sure that I'm going to absolutely love it once it all sinks in, but at the moment, there are a few things that strike me as odd and I'm looking for guidance... Something I noticed last night that was different in terms of workflow was animating consecutive objects. Imagine the following simple storyboard: - a photo appears on the screen and gradually grows in size while fading out - after that photo has completely faded out, a new photo appears on the screen and grows in size while fading out.
Now, "old skool" I would have economized my timeline real-estate by having both of these images on the same layer. Since they are not visible at the same time, you can clear (delete) the first image and drop in the second image and everything is peachy. I found that this was not the case in CS4. Here's what happens AFAICR: - import first image to stage. it appears in a layer

I made a preloader for my single scene movie and although the preloader is about 16k, when placed into frame 1 of the movie and tested, the frame is shown to have about 256k, which is larger than the movie it's loading. I've gone through all the files and made sure that export in frame 1 is not checked and made sure the publish settings also are set to export in frame 1.

I set up a preloader like the one in the tutorial "Percentage Preloader with Load Bar". It works fine until I try to use it on my big movie. After fooling around with it for a while it seems to be messing up progressively worse as the size of the movie grows. For example, with a very small movie, no worries. As the movie size grows the preloader will stall before appearing, that is if I test it with the ctrl+enter ctrl+enter method it won't show up right away, and when it does it will already be at 5% or so. Finally if I make the movie size even bigger (still only 700kb) the preloader won't show up at all. The only thing I could think of maybe was that the bytes_loaded variable is overflowing?.

I have this ActionScript: function openNewCart(evt:Event):void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.3dcart.com"),"_blank");} OpenCartPage.addEventListener("click",openNewCart);
Is there a way that I can have it open a 5 pixel window that automatically closes after it loads? Also, is there a way to specify within the actionscript where on the screen I want the new window to open?
I'm newer to flash. What I'd like to do is have it add a product to the shopping cart and close back down.If I can't do it straight from flash, I'm sure I can have the flash page open up an html page which redirects to the add to cart page and automatically closes, but obviously a much bigger pain in the butt, and it will only work anyway if I can specify in the actionscript for it to open a 5 x 5 pixel window.

I'm working on a slideshow where I'm calling in photos from an xml file. How do I tell AS to resize the stage according to photo dimensions? Would I need to list the dimensions in the xml file? If so, how would I pull that into the fla file with AS?

Why do the dynamic text font size appears smaller than what I specified in the flash dynamic text properties? I used a font size of 50 for the dynamic text and when I test movie, it appears to be only a font size of 12. Why is it so?

tutorial where when you click on a movie clip it moves to a certain location on the page and then zoom in and makes it a certain size. Also i want it to move back to its original location if you click it again.I want the move and zoom to be smooth so the users can see it move across the screen then gradually get bigger.

I made a box that is 3x3px and it fades in, now I want it to change size from 3x3 to 300x300px. Now how would this be done? here is my code so far:
Code:
// create the box
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("Box", 100);
//starting alpha
[code]...
I want the box to change size while it is fading in.So fare I've tried scale and width but those change the border size too, which is really annoying because I end up with a 100px border and a 100px box, not exactly what I was going for.

Ok so I have this button, and on this button I have the following AS. It works just the way it is suppose to (miracles really do happen), but now how do I control where the loaded movie appears on the screen?
Code:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("E:\FLASHMX docs\flashTips\bushbug.swf", 1);

So ive been asked to build a page for a real state company and the guy told me it should be similar to these [URL] Ive been trying a couple of weeks so far, but i dont seem to find a way to do somthing similar, i mean, i want to have the welcome screen as those two:
- the gradient background
- flash occupies whole screen no matter what size it is
- gradient expands sideways infinately
- no matter what height my explorer window is, gradient is always in the same position relative to top, and if i keep expanding downwards the background keeps last colour of the gradient.
- the brand logo looks as if it had top, left and right anchors, and it also limitates the minimum width of the explorer window
i though of addind a 3000 x 3000px square with the gradient and centering it, but i know there has to be a professional way of achieving that.

I am developing an AS3 application (not a Flex one) using Flash Builder 4.5. My application can set its graphical components automatically according to stageWidth/stageHeight. My problem is with the actual application size. If I do not specify width/height in the SWF meta tag, my application is compiled according to the default (550x400?). If I do specify (for example 800x480), I won't be able to support other resolutions correctly.
Is there a way to tell the compiler to see the application size according to the device's/stage's sizes?

I'm creating a flash site. I want the flash movie to fill the entire browser window. What size should I make the canvas, I've been experimenting with sizes and a canvas size of 750*370 fills my browser well on a resolution of 800*600
How do you accomodate different resolution settings? What's the most commonly used canvas size for this type of project.

Maybe the title is not self explanatory but in most iphone games eg you click the correct example and you see a +100 points mc appear and rise and alpha out. I did this with a png done in photoshop BUT not all goes well - it doesn't work.
[Code]...
It seens perfct but I can't see it work. The funny thing is that the custom currentBubble - with a dot after you see the code hints but a dot after pb100 - you see no code hints. Well not normal.

I'm a newbie with AS2....and i wanted to learn to create a photo gallery that scrolls right or left, and that when you click on the photo it becomes bigger.Well I found a tutorial from a site. The only thing is that... when I built it and applied it to my project it does not work:The issue is that it takes over the main page, even though is in its own swf file....(It's part of a flash website, where each page is loaded separately...in this case this AS is in one page (portfolio) and when it gets loaded in the main page...the AS acts upon the "root"...I really don't know how to change the script to only act upon the native swf file. I'm using a loader component to load the external pages...not sure if this is what's causing the issue? :roll: Also, aside from all the photos appearing across the entire horizontal part of the page(they do get to scroll), but when you click on the photo ..it does enlarge but it freezes the whole page. I would like for this action to only be constrain to the size of the page, which is a different size than the one of main page, and to be able to be clickable...I know this might sound confusing... supply a url...to explain things better! In the mean time here is the code....
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

I envision a series of photo gallery sites with certain elements that do not scale (thumbnails) and certain elements that do (the big pictures). Hopefully these big pictures will scale to be as big as possible within the available space in the browser window, but I don't want them floating over. I would like to know if the flash swf can "measure" the size of the browser window, then call the server to have the correct size JPEGs sent to flash to be displayed. That way I'm not getting a 2000 pixel JPEG for someone with a 1024x768 browser window. Dynamic scaling of bitmaps seems possible as of flash 8, but I would like to be able to measure windows to load a JPEG closer to the correct size for 2 reasons:
1. It seems like maybe it would load faster if I'm only sending the correct size JPEG to the browser, and not something significantly larger
2. It seems like once JPEGs have been scaled to less than 50% of their size in Flash, they tend to exhibit anti-aliasing artifacts that are undesirable.
It won't be me doing the programming, but I like to have some sense of what the possibilities are and I try to speak at least a little of the language of the programmers.

Based on the Photo Gallery using XML and Flash tutorial found here:I�m having trouble with loading thumbnail images of various sizes which overlap if they are smaller than the previous image.The specific line that causes this is target_mc._x = hit_left._x+(target_mc._width+5)*k;I�ve tried all sorts of things with the closest being the following which put the images in the right size, but with the omission of �k� their order is backwardstarget_mc._x = (thumbnail_mc._width+5);Here is the full function block as per the tutorial

Making an Flex App. Just wondering if anyone has created something that fits automatically to the users' screen size and how I go about doing this? One of the principle things is that I need an background image, which is obviously going to have to scale / resize to match the users screen.

i have a set of images which i've converted to mcs and have given them all different instance names. The first image motion tweens to the right of the screen via actionscript and then the next one will motion tween from the bottom of the screen to the top and then the image after that will go to the right of the screen and next one goes to to the top, and so on. I have this actionscript for the first image,
[Code]...
I need the next image to start motion tweeing up to the top of the screen right when the first image starts fading out. Then when the second images starts fading out the next image is already motion tweening to the right of the screen and so on. Once every image has run through its tween everything repeats. Is there any way of doing this?
