In version before flash CS5, we could copy multiple objects from multiple layer by just click and drag + ALT, that was really usefull and it becames vital for me. Now in the CS5... the click and drag + ALT on multiple objects from multiple layer is copying all objects to only one layer !
View 3 RepliesI seem to remember reading that you shouldn't do it.I was mad at Flash CS4 and CS5 because I wasn't able to make the animation work like After Effects, as far as animating something, having it rest, and then animating it again. I know you can do this already, however, if you add easing you could mess yourself up as the ease gets applied to the entire tween. I wanted to be able to tween something with an ease, then let it rest, then tween it again, again with an ease.
Tonight I discovered this: Place CTI over last frame of first tween, select object, copy. Go to next "slot" and Insert Blank Keyframe, then Paste in Place the object. Make some more frames. Then after it all make a New Keyframe (content from preceeding keyframe gets copied into it, then add more frames, select them and Make Tween. I now have 2 tweens on the same layer, each with their own easing that can't get stretched out of place.However, when I did this I noticed, before making the second tween, that I was not able to just click the object and Make Tween from there. I had to actually make regular frames and convert them
Don't know if the flash layer on the view stack contain only the compiled flash swf file
View 1 RepliesHow can I copy multiple frames from one file to another and paste in place? For some reason when I do this flash pastes them to the left of where they need to be even though the stages are the same size.
View 5 RepliesIs it possible to create multiple layer masks over a single layer using Actionscript3?Below is the flash effect I wanted to create with masks.First it starts from A and goes to B and C simultaneously.Then from B it goes to H and D simultaneously (the same applies to C).This is how the end result will look like.ps. I need my background to be transparent. I'm embedding it into a web page later.
View 2 Repliescan you copy the armature layer and past it on the same layer to make longer?
View 2 RepliesI have a layer with a bullet (graphic symbol) that flys out from the right and stops mid- stage, I am trying to copy this layer and have it do the same thing 3 times, to make 4 bullets that will be the BG for 4 text buttons I will make later, but I want to stagger their timing so they go with a sound effect.I am essentially trying to do exactly like the Duplicate Layer command in After Effects. Is there anything like this in Flash? I have even tried to do the more time consuming process of dragging another instance of my symbol from the library, but I keep getting the message "Do you wish to replace the existing tween target object", which also happens if I try to copy and paste the symbol.
View 3 RepliesThis has been a complaint since CS4. Maybe you finally fixed it in CS5.5? I'm in CS5, and cannot copy a group of layers with the "copy frames" option as I would with any other layer(s). So a bone tool animation I've done on the main timeline cannot be copied and turned into a mc symbol. A simple, basic process. I can export my MC and import, then it comes in as stills, increases file size, not editable. I'm sure the answer is "plan ahead." The answer should be, "Of course you can do that, that's always been a normal method of working in Flash." Flash is dieing as a web tool, and falling short as an animation tool.
View 1 Repliesi have an if statement, an object will go to a new frame if multiple buttons are pressed
PHP Code:[code].....
now i want it so that if one condition is met the mc will goto frame 2, if 2 conditions are met, frame 3 and if 3 conditions are met, frame 4.i know i could do this with a lot of if statements but i have a lot of movie clips to use this code on, so is there any way to write an if statement that will trigger different options if multiple conditions are met?
IF you copy a motion tween as an AS how do you insert the code so that it still performs the motion?I created a motion tween, copied it, deleted all frames, made just 1 frame, placed the object on the frame (from the library with the same name used in the original tween) pasted the AS onto that frame of the relevant layer but it does not work

View 3 RepliesI've only now started using the new motion tweening and motion editor introduced in CS4 and I have a question. Say I have two MovieClips animating on the stage and I want their movements to be in sync. I've created a custom tween to one of the MovieClips and now I want to have the other MovieClip move with the exact same tween. Is there a way to copy the tween I created for MovieClip #1 and apply it to MovieClip #2? Or do I have to manually re-create the tween from scratch?
View 1 RepliesIve gone through the Object-Oriented Scrollbar tutorial on [URL]. Its working great and I have multiple buttons inside of the moveclip it lives within. The problem occurs when I create another one on the same page. I have put one on frame 1 and the other on frame 5 so that I can select a 'category' and the scrollbar movieclip changes to the relevant buttons.Ive duplicated the movie clips and changed the instances accordingly. I keep getting these errors in the Output panel when playing my swf;TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at as3_movieplayer_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()and when I click the like to the second category it comes up with this error;TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at as3_movieplayer_fla::scrollbox_1/thumbUp()Not really sure what im doing wrong - or even what these mean!Here is the code from my main actions layer;

I have multiple angle images of an object and I want the result to be the same as the link here. [URL] I don't know flash at all but it seems like there would be a simple program (even if I have to pay) that allows me to import the images, set the rotation speed and other settings and then hit export to .flv file or something. Does anyone know of a program to do this, or a simple method?

View 2 RepliesMy aim is to copy multiple row content from Flex datagrid, to a clipboard enabling users to take pieces of information and pasting them were they are necessary. I bumped into a problem that in Flex (as far as I know) its not possible to paste whole array of information in the clipboard. At the moment, I pass selected datagrid items to a textfield, and then run "System.setClipboard(text_area.text);" I was wonderng if there is a way to pass it to multiple Clipboard directories, without overwriting previous entry, similar as when you can copy multiple items from different location into a clipboard, pile them up and then paste all at once?

I'm working in Flash Builder and Catalyst CS5 building a project that will aid technicians in finding policies and tools easily. One area that I want to focus on is the note taking section. I want the user to beable to input text and then have a "Copy Notes to Clipboard" button that will gather all the data from those input fields and store them in theclipboard. This way all the agent has to do is paste into the note section on their service ticket.The following is an example of the fields that it would require.Name:Phone Number:Issue:Symptoms:Troubleshooting Notes: also want the label for the text field to be included within the notes. So when someone pastes the notes it won't be just the contents, but will include the name of the text area as well. "Phone Number: 555-123-4567" instead of just "555-123-4567."
View 3 Repliesi want to have two different tweens on different movieclips within same layer...but what happens is..it groups both the mc into a single graphic...and applies tween for the entire graphic..and also i loose the Mc instance.

I'd like to import dozens of images and have them in sequence in a single layer. I did this once before, I made a .swf out of a video game cutscene and I recall importing the images to the stage then I asked somewhere else how to make them appear in the layers field. Then I did something that put each image in its own layer and I had to manually move them and make them appear in sequence.
So if anybody knows how to import and put in a single layer in sequence or simply import each image into its own layer
I want to create multiple layers where each layer has some graphics and buttons on it. I am using Flex so I like to do this using actionscript.
Does anybody know how to create a layer in actionscript?
How do you attach these layers to your stage?
I am extremely untrained in CS4 and Actionscript. However I have managed to get along fairly well until I started to dynamically upload images as a gallery. This works great if I have one gallery, but for my site I have 9 galleries!!! I have a back and next button, but I want to be able to use those same buttons for all of the galleries so they look the same. I have split them up and renamed them, but I am clueless on how to script the buttons to work.This is what I have now because I do not know where to put the other button names without getting errors.
stop();
next_btn .addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextImage);
var imageNumber: Number=1;

View 1 RepliesI have a problem when making flash applications with more than one frame that has symbols placed on it in that I can't declare all of the event listeners for the objects at the same time and I have found that even if I put them all on the first frame, add the event listeners, then click through to the next frame then the buttons won't work on that frame.
Does anyone have any idea how I could solve this? I did consider myself a fairly competent AS3 programmer until I realised I had no idea how to handle this sort of thing. Solved: I initialised the clips from my external class and then addChild'd and removeChild'd them as I needed to and placed their x and y on addChilding.
