So I'm getting a memory error when I try adding a keyframe to a rather large flash file that says "Not enough memory available" but I know I have plenty.
I'm running a 3.0ghz Quad core with 8GB of ram and about 100 gigs of HD space free on every drive (save the one where flash is installed, it has 16gb).
I've increased my virtual memory to 4096 - 8192 on my C drive and to 2048-4096 on the drive flash is installed to so it shouldn't be a page file issue either.
I'm doing a simple animation for a varsity project. It's a story about a tiger (panjo) who becomes a vegetarian. In an attempt to keep the main timeline clean, and to keep the file size small, I moved all animations that the characters do into their respective timelines, and then I use object.gotoAndPlay(x) function to go to a specific animation in the sub-timeline, like a head moving, mouth talking eyes etc.
It has been working thus far, but now I'm stuck. I am trying to make the tiger's head move to look at something, but I get the above error when I want to go to that specific keyframe. Here is the code:
I am making a comic in Flash CS4 using AS2 and I'm trying to figure out how to add a quick crossfade from one keyframe to the next. When the user presses the "next" button, I want the current image to fade down and the next image to fade up. The images are arranged so the heads and text are positioned to the left and right, so as one head fades up the other would fade down, see picture below. It's a conversation.
I understand how to do it if the scene plays automatically, but I want it to stop on each keyframe so the user can take their own time to read the text. I'm just starting out and used another tutorial to come up with the AS that is controlling it now. That AS was written when all the keyframes were in a row next to each other. Now I've adding some blank frames between them to create space for the Tweens, but I don't know how to modify the AS so it steps from keyframe to keyframe. It's still stepping though one frame at a time.
I am currently trying to move one of my AS2 projects over to as3 for a school project. The problem I am having is that my as2 project declares variables on the keyframe that are used on that frame only, the following frames declare the same variables for their own operations.. IE (Score = 0). The problem with as3 is that I am getting namespace errors and how to stop it. this is a puzzle game created originally in as2.. for the first level of the game the keyframe has this code on it to declare the variables to be used for the first level ONLY
I have a simple flash that has 2 layers 2 images. one image is on the first frame and the other image is on the second keyframe. Actionscript starts on 1st keyframe. What I have it doing is loading frame one stop() reads the actionscript checks the date if the date is met it goes and stops on frame 2 and plays other image:
Everytime the flash refreshes it plays frame one then jumps to frame 2 if the date is met. How do I avoid playing frame one if the date is met what it's doing is playing the first image before the date change and a split second after it plays frame 2. (you see a hiccup)
i need the flash to "preload, check the actionscript before it loads if the date is met automataclly go to frame 2 avoiding frame one all together.
actionscript used on frame one:
stop(); var year:Number = 2012; var month:Number = 3; var day:Number = 22;
I am making a simple project ,a so called "quizz" .SO as every questions has wrong and true answers buttons I am wondering how do I go to the previous keyframe.Let me be more clear. I have this "screen" with a button that appears only when you click the "wrong answer" on a question,the screen has a button that will lead you to the menu to start a new game,but I realized that would be very ANNOYING ,because if we are at question 30 [we pretend] it would be very frustrating to start all over again.So I am wondering what code do I need to write to the Screen with the "start over" button that leads to menu to make it lead me to the question I Answered wrong. I want to say that I tried something like "on (release) { gotoAndPlay ("previous") ;} but didn`t work To be even more clear I will show you on this picture.
i am creating a game now this is complex but i have been told by my fellow actioncript co worker that its doable, What it is i have a game "Reaction Tester" and It is inside a car going along the road so its psudeo 3d and i have the "walls" and road sorted now i want a movie clip in the road to throw out random objects From a Movie clip, now i will call them from frame names, say..
frame 1-10 is a tween with a box coming down and then frame 11-20 is a cat and frame 21-30 is a hole in the road Etc i want it to call a random frame to frame, to play
i'm making a game and to score some extra performance im rendering every frame of every entity into an array of bitmapdata's the first time the frame is seen, and it works well, but its wasting alot of memory because we have alot of animations, and most of them are double framed at least, so more than half of the bitmaps could be ignored if there was a way to determine if a frame is a keyframe or not
I'm new to Flash and can't find if there is a way to get to the next/previous keyframe on a layer by using something faster than dragging the playhead.
Is there an easy way to reuse a keyframe sequence? I have two characters that will animate the same. I want to animate the first, and then transfer all those moves to the next character.
While working on a project involving a mask layer and artwork layer the tutorial that explained the procedure said to press F6 to add a new keyframe to the timeline. While on the current frame, the tutor was hitting F6 and a new frame with a keyframe was produced. I need to click on the next frame then hit F6 to make the keyframe. The project is to make a vine look like it is growing and involves making lots of subsequent keyframes in this manner. The tutor breezed through making one keyframe after another - I have to physically advance to the next keyframe THEN hit F6.This really slows things down.
I have a file with a main movie clip called "clip" and inside that I have a couple separate movie clips. One of them has embedded audio and is called "trackPiano". I want to put an action on a keyframe so that when that keyframe is reached, the audio mutes. I think I should be able to use the soundTransform property, but I'm not sure how to go about implementing it.
Also, I'd like to then un-mute the audio for that mc when I go to another specific keyframe.
I have a VERY big animation, with a huge amount of keyframes, and I like to swap a symbol in this animation with another one. If I just use the swap button on the first frame, Flash only swaps the symbol for the first tween, whereas I have hundreds of tweens in my file... So how do I do this for every keyframe in every tween ?
my video starting at the first keyframe (it starts at kf 10). I was trying to solve this for more than an hour and cant. I think the problem somehow has to do with the fact my animations stops at keyframe 10, so I added a code snippet that stops the scene at 10. Dont get why this would start the video at 10, but cant seem to figure out any other reason, when I remove code snippet, all scenes start to play, but each scene moves too fast (since they are only graphs) so I cant test if the action layer is the issue.
I have created a motion tween to fade in a symbol on the stage. I have set a there is a diamond keyframe marker at the point where the alpha of the symbol goes to 100%. I want to be able to drag that marker to a later point on the motion tween span (not sure if I have my terminology right here) but I find that I cannot -- I have to delete the keyframe and recreate it at the point where I want it.
Is there no way to do this from the timeline? I have a layer on the timeline with a MovieClip. It's set for motion tweening. On Frame 30 it has a keyframe for all tween properties ( rotation, scale, position, etc ).I want to copy those and set them on frame 1 using the Timeline editor.
Everytime I want to insert frames or keyframes after a tween, from whereon the object should rest, it is just enlarging my tween. How can I finish the tween and go on with normal keyframes and frames?
When I try to insert a keyframe in Motion Editor, Flash CS5 crashes.I tried to use two computers running the same Mac OS X 10.5.8 with the same specs and only one of the machines crashes.
I have two files one is called tween_start.fla and the other is called tween_end.fla I am trying to create a motion tween where the animation begins at tween_start.fla and ends at tween_end.fla Each file consists of 7 shapes (it's a tangram if you're curious). At frame 10 of the tween_start.fla timeline I right-click on each layer and do Insert Blank Keyframe. Then I go to tween_end.fla click on a shape and do Modify>Convert to Symbol. Then I go back to the timeline for tween_start.fla, right-click on frame 10 and do Paste Frames or Insert Keyframe. If I do Paste Frames with all of the symbols I've created in tween_end.fla then the shapes end up stacked on top of each other. If I do Insert Keyframe it doesn't insert the symbol I've just created, instead it just keeps the same shapes that were at the first frame of tweet_start.fla. So how do I insert the symbols from tween_end.fla into the tenth frame of tweet_start.fla and then execute a motion tween between the frames?
I have motion tween of 100 frames. The motion tween path on the stage shows me Keyframes at every 5 frames i.e. it shows keyframe of 5,10,15,20 and so on till 100. No issues with that at all. But when trying to motion tween the duration to 99 frame or even lesser the entire motion tween path shows me each and every Keyframe on the stage which becomes so cumbersome to handle as then I have to manage all the keyframes on the stage. Whereas, when it is 100(just a frame more) it starts showing a different display. How can I have to same display if I were to reduce the motion tween to 99 or less, in that instance it is much easier to ease the frames in my animation. Is there any setting which controls this? I am using Flash Professional CS5.0
I have a MovieClip, named "thing", that's in one position and in another position on the next frame. I added an eventlistener to "thing" to advance frames. Very simple, everything works fine.I then add "thing.alpha = 0.5" in the button's event listener. Now when I publish the file, thing fades but doesn't move.
p.s. For reference, here's the entirety of my AS3 on the first frame:
When I place some codes in a keyframe, these codes are showing on all the following frames up till the next keyframe with codes. My question is, does Flash execute codes only in the keyframe or it execute whatever is in the frame regardless whether its a keyframe or not?

I have 2 keyframes on my timeline.The first keyframe has an input text field (instance name: inputTxt) and a button (instance name: btnTester).When the user clicks the button it takes them to the second keyframe where their text should be displayed in a dynamic text box (instance name: txtBox).I get a null value in keyframe 2.
If I have an FLV that I've output as SWF with skin to have embedded into an HTML page, and now a 'skip intro' is needed - though I'd have to make note of the actual time or keyframe in which the intro completes...How is this possible? Clearly, a button would need to be added for that kind of interactivity?
In my flash, I created a transparent button in the first frame in the uppermost layer and in the timeline it spanned the entire flash. I'm running CS4 AS 2.0 and flash player 10 When I right click the button and add the code in actions on (release) { if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") { getURL(clickTAG, "_blank"); } } and I try to export, I get a compiler error: Mouse Events Are Permitted Only For Button Instances.
