I created a motion tween. I stried to put an action script, stop();, at the end of the tween but it says "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it.". How do I stop the tween then?
View 15 RepliesI'm making a "master movie" for an assignment and I'm stuck right now. What I've got is an Intro page that will serve at the Parent.swf to load 4 other child swf's upon a mouse click. The problem is I have a theater stage where I tweened an animation to make it appear the curtain on the stage is going up but once it reaches it maximum height....the tween abruptly stops. I want it to HOLD there until a user clicks a button.
How would I make this happen? Here is the page in question: [URL]...
I'm a young girl who recently discovered flash cs3 (I started yesterday) I found this tutorial about how to make a flying bird. I did as the tutorial said, I just made a butterfly instead of a bird. Now I made a flower and I want the butterfly to land on the flower. The tutorial only showed me how to make the bird/butterfly fly through the scene and not how to stop it while I still see it in the scene. I figured out how to stop the motion tween but then the butterfly dissappeared from the flash file after it stopped and I also figured out how to make it land on the flower but it keeps moving its wings Now I need help to make it stop moving the wings while it's still visible. I hope my explanation is understandable. As I said I just started with this program so I don't know how to explain all the different things.
I tried to upload the file on imageshack but it seems like it doesn't support this kind of file, or I'm saving it wrong. I could need some help with that too so I can show others what I'm making without that they have to download the file so it's easier to get help when I'm stuck A link to the .swf file [URL]

View 2 RepliesI've started using Motion Tweening in CS4 and I am puzzled by something with how the durations are set. The best way I can describe this is by comparing it to what are now called Classic Tweens. In a Classic Tween, I set the beginning and end keyframes of a particular animation, and when the playhead reaches the ending keyframe, the animation stops. In a CS4+ Motion Tween, I set the first keyframe and then make changes using the motion editor, but when I add frames to the timeline, the tween keeps on growing, and the animation doesn't stop correctly. Is there some trick to telling the Motion Tween that it should only be X amount of frames?
View 1 RepliesI am facing a problem in one of my animation with flash CS4 - I have nested a Shape Tween in a Motion tween to get more control over the easers and effects, unfortunately I am not able to view on the timeline of my Motion Tween the action of the Shape tween nested inside.
It only show the first shape of the Shape Tween during the entire Motion Tween and that is really a problem for me because I need to see the final frame result of that Shape tween to be able to position it in a precise way on my scene according to other instances.

I'm having trouble using a scrollRect on an object instance on the timeline that has a motion tween. As soon as I apply the scrollRect to it, the object just stops! I've attached a simple fla that shows what I'm talking about.
Simply comment out this line in the first frame's actions to see the oval move across:
Code:
oval1.scrollRect = window;
The actual application I'm making is using a scrollRect on a custom list control, where each item in the list is a symbol in the library. It works great, except if I try to move my list around using a motion tween (the list still works, but the list doesn't move in the motion tween). As soon as I remove the code to apply the scrollRect, it works but the list fills the screen!
Once I tried to change a movieclip's colorTransform like this:
in frame1 of the movieclip this.transform.colorTransform = new colorTransform(1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0);
then all motion tween or shape tween of this movieclip will stop at this frame. what can I do to prevent this?
I'm scrolling a masked MC, which is basically a grid of thumbnails with a few rows. Right now, it works beautifully by scrolling row-to-row if the up/down buttons are pressed only after the tween has finished. However, if I press the up or down buttons in succession before it finishes scrolling, the positions get all messed up because it will start the motion tween from the current y position, which is halfway through a scroll.
Code:
new Tween(holder,"_y",mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut,holder._y, holder._y+scrollAmt,1.5,true);
That is basically the only code in my onRelease function.
I've thought about 2 ways of tackling this problem:
1: to disable the up/down buttons while the tween is taking place.
2: to NOT have the tween start from the current y position since that is the root of the problem. But I think this is impossible due to the nature of the purpose of the function.
I'm trying to create a simple game. Right now I have one button that when clicked moves the character across the screen. My issue is trying to make the player stop looping after I click the button. If I just insert stop for the last frame it will only loop once and stop, but it will not play again after the button is clicked. I've tried using players_turn boolean but couldn't get that to work.

View 5 Repliesafter I create a motion tween, why is it that I don't always see the path of that tween? It seems that I've got to shuffle stuff around a bit before I actually see the colored path. Is there some trick to this?
View 5 RepliesI am trying to move the instance in a particular path, but by the time I finish defining the entire path, the first few points all go astray. I then completed only 5 change points, but by then the 2nd, 3rd and 4th point were all astray, as in, not in the position I had originally defined them.
I am very frustrated with this as I have been working on this file for ages now, and nothing of this sort happened before. I have redone the tween atleast five times but it still acts weird by the time i move ahead a few frames.
I am new to flash and working on creating a simple animation. I have the objects ready, but problem is I can't seem to get motion tween working. Following this, I tried a very basic motion tween just increasing the size of text from one frame to another and can't get even this to work. I followed the basic steps, converted the text objects to symbol etcetera. What is seen is for frames 1-9 there is no change and in frame 10 there is sudden change in size. I also notice that there is no 'arrow' observed in the tween as shown in a sample tutorial.
View 10 RepliesI'm finding it useful to add labels to my timeline so I can easily see where animations start and stop for different symbols. However, I can not seem to label sections that are motion tweened. The entire motion tween section is selected when I just click on any section of it. Even if I use CTRL + click to select a single frame, there is no option for "label" in the properties window like there are for other frames. It shows the motion tween options.So is there a simple way to label a motion tween?
View 2 RepliesI have an object with 500 Frames. I gave it a Motion Tween. Now I want to cut it down to 100 frames,without changing the Tween duration. Usually you can insert a blank keyframe, or remove the last 400 frames on that layer. But since it's a Motion Tween you cannot?
WTH is going on with Flash's timeline editor, this is ridiculously unintuitive.
I'm trying to create a Motion Tween where at a certain point the initial image it's replaced by another one.I've tryied to do "Swap Symbol" but the symbol changes in all the tween.

View 3 RepliesI've made 3 different symbols of a running Super Mario -- the first one is his first running frame in the Super Mario Bros. video game, the second one is his second running frame, etc. I would like to create a motion tween of these 3 symbols, so it looks like he's running from one point of the screen to the other. I'm unsure of how I would go ahead to accomplish this.
View 5 RepliesI'm rather belatedly getting to grips with the new tweening system introduced in CS4. To be quite honest it's been a nightmare, but I'm starting to see its good points now.One thing that still drives me crazy is when you create a new tween and Flash creates a new layer for you and puts the tween into it. Why? And how do I stop it? Over the course of a 10 min animation with a lot of tweens I could end up with hundreds of layers
View 2 RepliesI have no problem creating shape tweens in Flash CS4, but motion tweens are a problem. Here's what I do:
- I draw a rectangle and convert it to a symbol on frame 1.
- I create a key frame on frame 25, where I place the symbol in a different position.
- On frame 1 I create a motion tween.
When I run this nothing happens until frame 24, and on 25 the symbol appears on its final position. I can do the movement with a shape tween, but I want to do it with a motion tween, as this may be a question at the exam next week.
When I go to edit a layer with a motion tween, it records all my movements. How do I edit motion tweens correctly?
View 2 RepliesThis is a ridiculously easy problem but I'm drawing a mental blank at how to do it so in advance I apologize for the simplicity. I'm trying to get a movie clip to rotate and scale automatically without being clicked. I would like it to gradually rotate by 90 degrees and scale by 150%, but I can't figure out how to get a motion tween to do it and am having to do it manually frame by frame. What is the code to do this?

View 7 RepliesIs it possible to trace the path a symbol takes and create a shape(or shapes that appear as a tracing)? Very Simple example: The letter C, without serifs. Basically an arc. I would like the C to be "drawn" in the animation. I hope to simply motion tween along the C and trace it's path. I did a shape tween, and wasn't happy with the results. Plus complex paths would be very hard to shape tween.

I want to include this within another animation of it flying around as well as flapping wings and wondering how this can be done. I tried to import it as both a gif image and swf movie and although it holds the original animation I cannot add the motion tween to draw the flying path.
View 3 RepliesI 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.
