[URL].. lines a lot in our files to set up AS Tweens. Is there a way to import these globally on one frame of ActionScript instead of having to put it in AS for every time an MC is being tweened?
View 1 RepliesI have a project in ActionScript 3, Flash Professional CS5.5, and AIR 3. I have several custom classes that I need to access. Currently, I am successfully accessing via the traditional method:
import trailcrest.core.core;
var Core:core = new core();
However, I came to a realization in my code...this creates a COPY of the class, and doesn't give access to the original. This, of course is a problem - I need one symbol's scripts to modify a variable in the class, and another symbol's scripts access that changed variable. Obviously, right now, that is not occurring.How do I do what I am describing? Should I somehow create a "public var" for the class (though I need instructions on how to do that...I can't use "public var" within stages or symbols)? Is there some way to directly access the class?
AS 2.0 new to CS4, import mx.transitions.TweenRGB not working
Works fine in CS3, Doesn't work in CS4?
Any Ideas, seem to be having the same problem with:
mport flash.display.*;
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";// no resize of the swf
Stage.align = "TL";// align top left.
import mx.transitions.Tween;
Like things are not importing correctly, or something?
I am currently following one of the tutorials on making the flip flv video player. All was going fine right up to the point that I went to render the file right after entering the following code and I get this error: scene 1, Layer 'actions', Frame 1, 1172: Definition caurina.transitions could not be found. I dont know whats wrong I havent used flash for a while but I know I have done this before in CS3?
Her is my actionscript:
import caurina.transitions.*;
import fl.video.*;[code]............
I'm running Flash Builder 4 that came with my Adobe Master Suite CS5 group of software. I'm trying to implement a flip animation that uses the following packages:
fl.transitions.Tween
fl.transitions.TweenEvent
fl.transitions.easing.Strong
but I'm getting compiler errors for each of those lines:
1172: Definition fl.transitions:Tween could not be found.
1172: Definition fl.transitions:TweenEvent could not be found.
1172: Definition fl.transitions.eashing:Strong could not be found.
I found some references other people discussed regarding CS3, but I'm on cs5 (and this machine never had cs3 installed, I started with cs4 and upgraded to cs5).
Do I need to explicitely tell Flash Builder where to find these packages? Are they not standard to the Flash Builder 4.0 Standard build?
Is it possible to adjust the frame spacing for all layers?For example, I have my stuff (graphics, text, etc..) spaced at 24 frames. Is there a way to globally adjust everything to 48 frame spacing? or 12 frame spacing?

View 2 Replieshow to code transitions between pages. specifically, i want an animation to play when you arrive at a page and the same animation to play in reverse when you leave the page.my website is built in flash cs3 using as3. the buttons are coded using simple eventListeners jumping between keyframes on a single timeline using gotoandPlay actions.
View 6 RepliesI'm building an iPad app with some stories and I have an animation that runs when each story is opened. I created the first animation at 30fps and it works great on an Android tablet and in the Air debug launcher, but when I compile it for the iPad the transitions are very jumpy. It acts like it's only running at 5fps on the iPad.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to make the background gradient change colors. I put my first gradient in one keyframe, then created another keyframe at the end with a different gradient, but when I converted it to symbol then added the tween, the transition jumps from one color to another, it is not gradual transition I wanted, it just jumps
View 7 Repliesdoes anybody know a easy way to make image transitions in Flash CS4? without using the timeline and without to much programming. Why invet the wheel again if somebody already has the answer? This is what i want to do:Put images/photos in a folder or import to the Flash libary and then let flash view the pictures with a pre-setted transition. The transitions could be: fade in/ fade out, blur in/blur out, pixel in/pixel out, zoom in/zoom out and so on (with a nice look) I want to select the pictures to be used and then select a transition for each image.
For an example if i wanna do a image header lets say 900x400px and then vĂew my images in the folder with the selected transitĂon. I tried to use the slide presentation feature but the transition looked like PowerPoint, boring and not so smooth. Somebody has a simple and free solution? I know this is not to hard for a experienced Flash user, but im a beginner =).
I'm building a flash player that loads various movie clips in succession depending on user input. The player should continue to play seamlessly when one clip ends and another starts playing, however there is always a slight noticeable delay between the COMPLETE event for one clip and the actual playing of the next clip. I am using the FLVPlayback component to load the video clips, with successive clips loaded in different players in the component.
I've tried playing the next video a short duration before the current video finishes by adding a cue point just before the end of the currently running clip (about 200 - 300 ms before the end). This improves matters somewhat, but it is not a reliable method as the timings are different for different browsers and computer specs. I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with smooth transitions between external video clips and could suggest possible optimizations I could use to improve the transitions.
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?

In my flash file I go File/Import Video/ then select Load external video for playback
click Next, Pick the skin, then a bar pops up saying Getting Metadata
Then nothing. Nothing in the Library or Stage. Anyone know why? Hard to think that it happened twice on 2 different machines and OS's.

View 2 Repliesi imported a .mov into flash and exported out for the web. video was fine, it had no audio.
View 2 RepliesMy students and I enjoyed importing .mov files and tracing over them as we would embed them in the timeline in flash CS3. This year we upgraded to CS5 and I am finding that we cannot import the .mov files.
Does anyone have a solution for a pipeline like this. Flash seems to want us to convert the files to .flv or something.

View 46 RepliesI have a flash project that involves using glow filters on several mcs all over the site, the problem is, the current way I'm doing it requires me to declare and assign the filter on every MC's container.
Is there a way where I can just declare the glow filter once on the maintime line, and then simply apply the filter on the MCs where needed?
this is what I use for every MC, and it's really tedious and hard to keep track of/change.
Code:
var Glow1:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter();
Glow1.color = 0xFFFFFF;
Glow1.inner = false;

For examples sake, say I have an 'Icon' class. When you set Icon's 'name' variable, it downloads the image (of the given name) from a server/directory.
The problem however, is that even though the name (of the image) is provided, the name of the server, or even the folder containing the image is not.
Of course, I could explicitly define the full name and location of the file to the class, but if I ever decide to change folder structure I would have to go through and find all references to the folder and change it. It also seems wrong to litter all of my parent classes with arbitrary URL's to feed to the Icon class.
The preference of course would be to 'globally request' the image server/directory on instantiation, but in the world of OOP how is this best achieved?
I was just about to have the Icon class dispatch a bubbling event, letting something at the end of the displayList catch the event/request and feed it the information (a String) it was looking for, but it didn't feel right. It feels like dispatchEvent should only be used to Dispatch Events, not request a string...
Also, I've come up to similar situations where I've needed a similar request structure without being an extension of EventDispatcher (such as just a primitive Object). Is there a best practice for both?
I have been trying to get this right for a few days now, but I am stumped. This code runs on the first frame of my movie:

i assigned some variables called charstrength and so on but i want to access these variables globaly as the action is on the first frame with all the variables stated and on the second frame i need to access those variables but it just wont let me.
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to control different sound attached in different frame. I want a button to turn on/off different sounds separately and globally. I mean after I've press one button in, let's say, Frame 1, it can turn off/on one sound attached in Frame 2 but another sound is not affected.
Right now, I've create 2 buttons for each sound to turn on/off the sounds sounds by setVolume() but I can work only when I entered that frame and press button in the frame. If I've press the button in Frame 1 and go to Frame 2, it did not take effect.
Here is my code for attaching different sounds in Frame 2:
Code:
infoSound = new Sound(infoSoundMc);
infoSound.attachSound("info");
alertSound = new Sound(alertSoundMc);
[Code]....
Is there any other command to turn on/off sound besides setVolume()?
I am working on a big project today and I'm importing images in by the hundreds. Is there an easy way to import an image sequence into the timeline? I remember there use to be with earlier versions of flash but I can't figure it out for CS4 - Luckily these images are named sequentially.
