If I have a couple of animations in a single folder, it doesn't look like there is a way to animate the folder as a whole, so is it possible to group all the animations somehow and animate that?

View 3 RepliesMy Newest Animations Are Not Animating. They are running in the timeline but are displaying as static images as animated shockwave files.
View 1 RepliesIm developing an interactive in wich I use many animations either frame-by-frame (image-by-image) or with an embedded flv in the timeline and I have noticed that all of them don't play smoothly when first played, but once the animation has occured once they play the way its supposed to be. Im assuming is because once played an animation gets into the machine cache or something, so I wanna know if there is any way to force an animation to get into the display cache before is played.

View 16 RepliesI'm a newbie in adobe flash cs4 and i'm trying to create a simple (i hope) animation.
What i'm trying to do is the following:
I have 3 boxes (b1, b2 and b3).I want to draw a line, starting on b1 and ending in b2. After that i want to draw another line connecting b2 to b3.
The goal is to give the effect of lines growing between the boxes.
Is this simple? And what frame per second value do you recommend?
What is the best way to convert an animation created in Flash to a .mov file. I've tried the export movie command in the file menu, changing various settings in the publish settings in Flash and and in the Quicktime options boxes. But the resulting .mov file has all kinds of fragments and artifacts. Has anybody had any luck creating animations in Flash and then converting them into a format that can be assemble in iMovie?
View 7 RepliesI'm fairly new to Flash and I'm having a bit of trouble. I've created two animations. One's a bouncing text animation and the other animation is a series of twinkling stars. I've added a key frame stop to keep the bounching text from looping, but I want the twinkling star animation to continue to loop. Is there any way to have one animation stop and the other loop?
View 3 RepliesI need to create animations fron a set of jpegs. I can layer selections in photoshop; create symbols in Flash, although When I open a multi-layer psd in FL, don't always get multi-layers in FL. More importantly, what graphic/symbol formats are required for the typical animation techniques (eg, different tweens, bones, puppet).
View 1 RepliesI have 2 Flash animations, both tweened and working as intended, and now I'd like to make a third flash animation which will be composed of the other 2 animations playing after each other (with a few empty frames in between). How I do this? I tried just adding them to the time line and giving enough frames, but that doesn't do the trick.
View 3 RepliesI have created an app in CS5.5 for Android and iOS. I have tested on two Android devices and everyingthing works fine. However, on an iPad and iPhone the animations are really slow. Here are some more facts:
1) My project has many scenes and in the problems scene there are upwards of 1,200 frames. But even simple animations run slowly.
2) The frame rate is set for 24 fps.
3) I have created a universal app (iphone and ipad), publish resolution is standard at full screen.
4) Ironically, I have already tried caching as bitmap. That actually slowed my animations even more. I am truely at the end of the line here and don't have any possible solutions.
In Adobe Flash CS3, is there a way of copying a complex animation from one document to another, differently sized document and have it appear in the same relative position, i.e. bottom left of my stage?I created a growing flower for a 300x250px file, and I want to use it in a 728x90px file. It has many keyframes. I tried pasting in the frames, but it appears off stage. I need to move it upwards. Do I have to move the elements at each individual keyframe, or is there a way of moving it universally at one go?
View 1 RepliesThe problem i'm having with the new motion tweening is trying to make the last frame of the animation exactly like the first one. I need to do this because i'm trying tocreate smooth looking walk/run/breathing etc animation cycles. How do you make the final frame of the loop match the first frame of it?
View 1 RepliesI am creating a flash animation which has to be converted into Html 5. The reason for the conversion is the i-pad, so that my animation can run on i-pad or i-phone. I have tried using the WALLABY tool from adobe but haven't get the accurate animations. Though I have saw some adobe videos in which these people are perfectly running their flash animations through this WALLABY tool.
View 2 RepliesI notice when I run animations in the flash player, the image quality because very pixelated and blocky when I enlarge the animation.
I need my website to scale to different screen resolutions, so this can be a problem. Is there any way to make images smoother when the flash file is enlarged beyond it's native resolution? I really need to know since my website has to scale to a LOT of resolutions.
I have made a nested animation within a movie clip, but it doesn't show up frame-by-frame in the timeline is there a way to make it appear in the timeline?
I need to take a photo of my screen with each image on it for a stop motion animation project for school I tried exporting a series of still images as a workaround, but for some reason the data from the nested animation also fails to show up in any kind of movie export.
I have an idea for a simple game/program and not sure if Flash is the way to go.After reading many articles I've come to the conclusion that if I wanna make my idea a reality then I need to do it myself but not sure where to start.Before spending the money on buying cs 5.5 want to make sure it can do what I need.So my question is can you have users input data that would then control your animations?
For a simple example:I want a user to be able to input a number then depending on the number a certain animation sequence would occur.So say a user inputs the number 10 then my animation would walk over to a pile of say apples and pick up 10 apples. If they input 5 the animation would pick up 5 apples etc...So my idea has nothing to do with apples but revolves around the user inputting numerical data which would then control what the animations do.
I have an animation of a blue ball falling from the top of the screen, bouncing off the bottom and exiting through the top. This animation "Bounce" is an action all "Ball" objects can perform. How do I apply this animation to other "Ball" objects? I thought of making a second layer (the skin of the ball object) that follows the first layer animation.
I am asking because I have an animation of a blank character performing actions, i'd like to be able to design and decorate several characters for my animation that can perform the animations of the blank character (template). My game randomly designs different faces/clothing for these character objects, but i'm not sure how to animate them based on an already made animation.
Is there a way to make state transitions/animations of a fl.control states - button for example ?All I can do now is change the skin design and that's it, I can't animate between states like I can with Flash Builder skins. So is there a way to do that, any technique or I have to create a button component from scratch?
View 3 RepliesI have few flash animations that I bought, I got their fla files as well.I modified the animations simply by adding a static text line. I publish the animation and load the swf file to another fla file (main project, which is bigger).The problem is that the loaded animation has a 1 fixel black frame (witch is not in the design itself) and I can't remove it or even mask it through the animation file. I need a clean animation with no background or frame,Other problem is that the loaded animation is getting out of the original file frame boundries, revealing parts that suppose to be out of the stage.How can I publish thouse animations without the frame and the out of boundries area?
View 2 RepliesI am developing a product for schools including flash animations - swf files written in AS3 - for insert/embed into PowerPoint slideshows. Hundreds of customers are waiting. It is all working apart from one problem: when inserted/embedded in PowerPoint 2007 slideshows my animations freeze (sometimes) when you leave and return to a PowerPoint slide containing them.
I have found that when you show a PP2007 slide containing a flash movie, move on to the next slide and then return, (sometimes) the time-related Events (ENTER_FRAME, TIMER etc) have stopped being dispatched to AS3 code by Flash Player, freezing animations. Other Events such as MOUSE_MOVE, KEY_DOWN etc are dispatched to AS3 in random bursts. I have created a small flash program and PowerPoint slideshow to demonstrate the problem and put them on the web at: [URL].
I am looking to create a 2-3 minute presentation which will contain several distinct animations that need to be in sync with a voiceover. The presentation will run from start to finish without any user interaction. I can see a few different ways forward -- trying to do everything on the main timeline, using scenes, creating movies clips and controlling their starting and stopping on the main timeline through ActionScript, etc.

View 2 RepliesSo in Actionscript 3 and Javascript, to get touch events working for mobile devices I have to listen for ontouch events... However, touch events not fired on desktop. However, mouse events are triggered on both mobile AND desktop. My quesion is this: why does w3 have this spec
Wouldn't it make sense to have just to use the onmouseevent? In order to have things work on mobile and desktop I always have to listen for both events-bviously this causes issue on mobile devices because two events are fired when i press the screen (meaning that I have to do a bunch of conditional checking to add/remove event)
My initial thoughts were that multi-touch would be the main reason... But couldn't the design just have some parameter of the event like .touches? That could go along with the .pressure, .finger width, etc... maybe a .type = "touch" or .type="mouse"
I'm currently working on a project where i use SWFObject to include a flash header (some fire animation). Also I'm using jQuery for serveral animations and effects on the page, like Imagesliders and hovering effects.The problems I got:high CPU usage: about 50% on a Intel Q9550 low frame rates of jQuery animations due to the high CPU usage.The flash animation seem to stuck when i trigger any jQuery animations or effects.I tried to remove serveral jQuery animations and simplify the page, but also with only an hover menu, the flash animation stucks and the jQuery animations are laggy when hovering the menu.The only browsers where my page runs smooth are Chrome and Opera, but only with high CPU usage. FF3&4 and IE7-9 produce bad frame rates all time.I tried to reduce the jQuery internal fx interval, that seems to help, but the animations were not smooth any more. Am I the only one having this issue, i could not find any other postings here with that topic?!url...We changes the graphic card of the computer, from a GeForce 8400GS to a 8800GT. After that, the animation run smooth. I never thought that it would be the graphic card ^^
View 1 RepliesI am looking for a solution in Flex where I can capture a combination of keyboard inputs such as: [CTRL] + A + B
That is, pressing the CTRL key and the user presses two keys (instead of the usual one).
I can capture the event when somebody keys: [CTRL] + A with the following code:
if (event.ctrlKey && event.keyCode == 65)
How would I capture an additional key so that the event is captured when somebody presses CTRL, A and B?
Is there any way to combine a bunch of F4V's into a SWC or SWF and then load them via actionscript? I tried FZip with a bunch of F4V's, but when I get to loader.loadBytes(), it comes back with an error -
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type.
Essentially, I just want to collect all of my media into a single external file that I can then pull stuff from - pngs and videos - preferably keeping the video in F4V/H.264, but not necessarily required.
The quick question is I can only get this to play sound once - then it won't do it again I am making a math game for my young kids - it adds numbers from 1 to 5 the variables A & B are randomly generated and make C
The sound reads out a string A + plus + B + equals + C (5 sound files)It does this the first time the flash is played, however, when the flash movie goes back to the previous frame, and generates new variables - it will not play the sound files anymore.
