For some reason when the mask fully reveals the art, the waves stutter (frame 26) and restart their animation from frame 1. I've included a link to download the CS4 flash file. [URL]
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create some simple buttons for a splash page. I've followed a tutorial at [URL] in order to achieve the desired effect, but there seems to be a problem: the rollOver action seems to work, but if one keeps their mouse cursor towards the left edge of the button, the animation stutters indefinitely. Here's my button: [URL]
View 3 RepliesMask causing text under it to appear to move...I have a mask that scrolls to the right over text.Before the mask comes on stage the same text is on a different frame before it in the exact same coordinates. But when the mask appears it makes the text under it seem to slightly move to the left. I've realized it is the mask that makes this seem to happen.I'm probably not doing something right with the mask, but I'm not sure.
View 1 RepliesNote: I am only using the Flash animation in IE only as I created an equivalent, jQuery based animation for all other browsers (because, surprise, IE didn't handle the jQuery version).look at this in IE only.The Problemhen you hover over the dropdown menus, the Flash animation temporarily "freezes" and the continues. This causes choppy behavior in the Flash animation.
View 1 Replies1. If you have a dynamic text field and movieclip under a mask layer.
2. through actionscript you set the text of the text field, and set the frame of the movieclip.
3. You want the mask to animate, so you create a new keyframe at frame 10 in the mask layer, and change the shape of the mask. The problem is that when you play the movie and it reaches the keyframe where the mask changes, it resets both the text field and movieclip to it's initial state. I've run into this issue in both AS2 and AS3, and also using an animated movieclip as a mask. Whatever is underneath the mask gets reset. I've created a very simple fla to demonstrate this (attached).
When my Flash website loads, it freezes halfway through the initial animation for 2-3 seconds and then continues. Am thinking it is one of the scripts in index.html and have tried all sorts of ways to correct it -[code]...
View 2 RepliesI am using Bulkloader [URL] to load in a succession of 10 images whilst the main elements of my site have already been preloaded. It is required that these images are not loaded within the preloader as they are large in size and this will increase the wait to an unacceptable level. They are not added to the display list upon succesful load but instead are added at a later time.
The problem I am having is that the menu navigation of the site is slowed down considerably and looks sluggish if the user navigates around whilst the images are being loaded in the background. Once loading stops everything is fluid and smooth. The animations are being carried out using a combination of timeline and Tweener.
Firstly, does anyone know if this is normal behaviour? I don't see why something being loaded should interfere with something moving on the screen, they are doing completely different tasks so I am a bit puzzled as to why they seem to clash.
Secondly, can anyone suggest a feasible workaround? I have been experimenting with using BulkLoader's pauseAll and resumeAll methods and have had some success by detecting mouse events and pausing/resuming as and when required, but it is proving a lot more complicated than I feel it should be, especially as I don't think loading should be affecting animation in the first place.
I have tried loading the images in one-by-one as I thought having too many connections open (apparently bulkloader can open multiple connections for faster loading) may cause some memory issue or suchlike, but that made no difference, everything is still choppy and sluggish whilst the background loader is running.
recently i have tried loading external icons dynamically into my vertical carousel using XML and the icons got loaded successfully into the carousel ... but once they are loaded the entire processor is getting consumed ( even though its a decent config ) and the animation is becoming sluggish ... i've tried and searched the net for a solution but i couldnt find one related to this... i just used actionscripting in my .fla and no tween ( in the main timeline or the movieclip in the library) ...
var numberOfItems:uint;
var xmlPath:String = "intro.xml";

I have 2 overlapping movieclips on the stage. Both are instances of the same movieclip, but with different names. One bigger then the other, due to a magnifying effect. (I have tried to out-rule that code by the way, so its not that). The intention is to make both movieclips play when the mouse is over the stage and then stop as the mouse leaves the area. Seems simple and I have done that alot of times with other animations.

Basically what happens is 5 eggs fall from the top of the screen. What I'm trying to have happen is, to have flash recognize when all 5 have been clicked and goto and stop on frame 3. The other problem is I want the animation to reset when the timer runs out. Thus clearing all current eggs off the stage. I've zipped the 2 files I'm working with the (fla and as files).
View 3 RepliesI'd like to put a mask over a snow animation like the one found here: [URL]
However, if I place a simple shape mask above the "snow" layer, it doesn't mask the snow below.
how I might be able to mask the "snow" layer?
Im using hitTestObject to start a mc playing, but it continues to loop even though there is a stop(); on its last frame.

The mc "rolly" is the one being looped. Its animation is within itself (hope that makes sense) it is not looping the main timeline.
I'm trying to add a mask animation on a movieclip that i have in the library. The problem is that my code add the image to the movieclip that i have created to contain the image but his mask doesn't animate.
So i have:
- the mask layer
-- a layer for the image
- a layer for the movielip background
in this order. With greensock i add a scale animation to the mask layer on the mouseover event but it doesn't animate.
Code:
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
var columns:Number;
var my_x:Number;

I'm putting a mask on an image that is being animated around the stage which works fine, but when i change the mask using as3 the mask stops following the image and stays in one place.. while the image moves around the stage... is there a way to force the mask to stick on the image?

So I have a text which is saying for instance "hello". And when i press a button there is an animation which starts to erase the "hello" text and a pencil is writing a second text. So somewhere in the middle there is a blank text holder( i mean the place where the text is suppose to be)! The question is - is there a way with code when the animation have reached a certain frame to change the text because i can't do it with animation!
View 1 RepliesI have a FLA file that when I open it and I rollover any title in a palette window all the text in that and every window disappears. For instance the title "Timeline" will vanish. And most of the text in the palette vanishes, for instance all the text in the properties panel disappears like "Position and Size". This does not occur with any of my many other FLA files. I have had some issues with fonts lately. After deleting some bad fonts, my FLA ask me to remap some fonts, which I do. Everything in the FLA appears to be working fine.
View 2 RepliesSince recent versions of Flash have come out (perhaps the last few weeks), when loading up the website, [URL], the flash loading bars show, various SWF files in their layer appear, but then when loading completes, the web page goes blank (usually black, sometimes white). This occurs on Windoes 7 (64), Vista and XP. It occurs in IE9, IE8, and various Firefox browsers. So, I am comfortable believing that it is a recent Flash player issue.
The HTML page loads a file "back.swf" which in turn loads "menu_eo.swf" in level 10 and "intro_eo.swf" into level 5. What it looks like is that when the intro page finished loading and moves to the correct frame, the screen goes blank. My clients rarely update their Flash Player, but I asked them to do so this morning. They had the same problem in all those other browser and operating system after updating to Flash Player 10.3.1832.5.
I created a dropdown menu by using a mask over animation. When you rollover the correct button a mask lowers down showing the dropdown buttons. then you can roll over each one showing a small tint animation. I wrote a script on that layer telling it to gotoAndPlay(21) when you click any one of the buttons. however whenever I click on one of the dropdown menu Items nothing happens. Is this because of the stop action I have at that frame?? and if so How do I get around that.
View 2 Repliesis it's possible to create a similar effect to this menu:[Url] on a xml loaded text, in Flash. Would I need to create a mask and place it above the text then tween it's x position using tweener? would that work?

i've got a pretty small (in my opinion) usage of motion tween on the following site: [URL]
the circles are moving around and rotating.. not that big of a deal compared to many much more flash intensive websites that i've seen.
on a few computers i've viewed the website on, this page slows down the rest of the computer, the circles move real choppy, etc so it's very taxing on the computer/processor. making this a less intense flash tween? is it something that i'm overlooking or is what my flash file is doing truly that difficult for a computer/browser to process?
I'm wanting to render this character as a flash animation (which i will create with swift 3d), could I make the walls of this corridor mask him so that only his head would only be seen as he walked through it, as below?I would later render the animation of walls as normal like so ..lkThrough.html (so that i would have a vector character walking through a bitmap corridor, you may ask why i want to do that, and that's because later on the character will be mainly animating on a still background and i'm trying to conserve download time for the Flash file).

View 14 RepliesI put together an .html page using a photoshop jpg that I sliced into sections. I was asked to replace two graphics from the original .jpg file with animated content of the same size. Using my slices as a guide for size, I created the two animated graphics in flash and saved them out as .swf files. They are both the exact same size(px) as the static images. I opened my newly sliced html file in dreamweaver, deleted the static images and placed the .swf files.
For some reason the .swf files cause gaps in my html page. Tere are no borders on the .swf files and I can't figure what I've done wrong.

iam using following code to scroll map. when scrolling horizontal or vertical, it scrolls perfect without any jerk(stutter) but when scroll diagnol this stutter happens.
Code:
function scrollMap(){
var p = {x:0, y:0};
var minX=(stageW/2)-32;
var maxX=(stageW/2)+32;

I am essentially loading images from an XML file and animating them to continuously scroll across the stage. I have finally got the code working decently well, the biggest problem is a slight stutter in my Tweens. I am using the Tweener class and I am animating loaders as follows...
Code:
xml = XML(event.target.data);
xmlList = xml.children();
imageCount = xmlList.length();
for(var j:int = 1; j < 11; j++){
imageLoader = new Loader();
imageLoader.name = ""+(j);
[Code] .....
Do you think that the Tweener class is causing the occasional stutter/shake from the images or the fact that I am animating the loaders themselves. I am aware there is bitmap smoothing but I cannot do that with loaders.
Just new in forum and just new in as3 programming. All i want to do is to make some physics simulations (i'm physics teacher...). So i made my first sim with the following code, just to simulate a simple motion with constant velocity. It works ok, except the part i need to reset the display by the means to start the motion all over again (reset button). Then the motion starts but the traces of the previous motion remains on stage. I tried the null command (sp=null) but the sim could not start again because the sp nedded to be non-null...

I have an issue with adding a reset button to my drag and drop movie clips.The problem is, if a student drags a movie clip to a wrong location on the SWF file I want them to be able to hit a reset button that would take them the same SWF that they opened and what would showup would a clear page for them to restart their drag and drop exercise.I know how to make the button for this just want the proper action script to be able for user to start over with no movie clip symbols on the page.
