Professional :: Rotation - Slight Pulsing As The Symbol Rotates When The Animtaion Plays
Aug 14, 2010
I've got a symbol that's circular, and I'm trying to make it rotate. My problem is that everytime I rotate it (45 degrees per frame), the dimensions change slightly on me. It's a circle with a height and width of 364 pixels. After rotating it clockwise 45 degrees, the new dimensions are 386.9 by 397.4. The result is a slight pulsing as the symbol rotates when the animtaion plays. I can't figure out what's happening, and it's SUPER frustrating.

I have a movie clip symbol that is about 8 frames long. I am staggering it 14 times throughout scene one, with varying times.My problem is that it plays once then disappears (I added actionscript on the last frame in the symbol movie clip). I would like it to play then keep the last frame displayed in scene one until a specific keyframe (60). Not have the movie clip instance loop, rather show the image that is on its last frame.

When I play my animation in the Flash working file, the animation stops at the end of the timeline, as it should. But when I test the movie, or export it to any movie format, it will play an instance of a movie clip symbol that I used within the animation. There are no extra frames in the timeline beyond what should be considered the last frame. Is there a setting or something I have overlooked that might cause that instance of the symbol to play at the end of the animation, without appearing in the main timeline?

I am trying to rotate a symbol about the y-axis, 45 degrees one direction, then back to center, then 45 degrees the other direction. Seems like a relatively simple task, except here is what happens.
Here is the object with no rotation:
Here is the object rotated exactly 45 degrees:
And here is the object rotated exactly -45 degrees:
I need the object to rotate the same as it did the first time but in reverse, otherwise "45" and "-45" are generally worthless numbers to refer to. Is it something to do with the pivot point? I made sure the registration point was in the center when I created the symbol. It doesn't seem to be pivoting the object around the center though. How do I rotate about the y-axis using a pivot point that is actually in the center and gives the same (but opposite) effect when rotating it one way versus the other?

I have come across a large, and very annoying bug in CS5. When animating with the same symbols over a long and complicated timeline, the rotation points of symbols earlier in the timeline begin to shift around very slightly. The more you work on the flash, the more they shift, so things that you did right at the start will begin to wobble around all over the place once your timeline gets very big. This is because, as we all know, when you tamper with a tweened symbol's rotation point, the symbol moves out of place while tweening.
This has completely ruined a large project I was working on that I began in CS4.
I am using a Mac Pro running 10.6.3

I am using Fuse to rotate a movieclip in a navigation system. The problem is, it flips out and rotates a full circle before getting to the final destination when the destination is higher than 180. I can't figure out why. Here is the code:

I'm using a carousel script that rotates some images, the speed of the rotation depends on where the mouse is on the screen. The project I put it into is 962 pixels wide, the carousel itself is about 400 pixels wide, I want it positioned on the right half of the project, so I put the code in a blank movie clip and positioned it on the right.
It works fine, but the problem is the rotation gets crazy fast as the mouse moves to the left side of the stage, because there's so much more space on the left then there is on the right. I only want for it to stop gaining speed when the mouse leaves the carousel area.
Code:
//We use 70x70 sized images (change this if different for your images)
const IMAGE_WIDTH:uint = 70;
const IMAGE_HEIGHT:uint = 70;

want to make a time line (timeline is my graphic not the timeline in cs4, like historical timeline WWI, WWII, ETC) with clickable dates (D-DAY, Pearl HARBOR), when you click on a date it will fade in a semi-transparent box that has text (still seeing the original stage in the background behind the semi-transparent text box), when you are done reading the text box you can hit GO BACK to go to the historical timeline.I only have been using flash for about 3 months so bare with me.
I understand button symbol, movie clip symbol, etc. I can make it so that when you are OVER the date it plays an animation of the text box fading in but is kind of bad because if you move the mouse off the date it goes away, which is why I want to make it clickable.Basically I thinkI am using CS4 by the way.In short, make a button that when hit plays a movie clip animation of the textbox fading in front of the historical timeline, I believe I can easily do the go back by using the gotoAndPlay(); feature on the go back button to go to the beginning of the scene.Sorry about the long text, I am pretty sure the answer is easy.

I am making some animations with shape tweening. I actually need it for my presentation.There are five layers of almost same shape of objects. The first two layers and shape tweening works as I expected.But from third layer, something weird happening. As I do shape tween, the layer becomes two moving objects: one is acting as I wish, but the other same object rotaing in x-direction.

I would like to know if there is a way to update the position of the thumb on the Slider component when a movie clip plays. Currently I have a movie clip symbol on my stage with the instance name ShapeMC. It has about 10 frames or animation and two actions. the first frame has a stop action as does the last frame. The actions are on their own layer, separate from the actual animation. I also have the slider component in my library, but it is only there so I can reference it through AS3. My AS3 instantiates a variable of type Slider. I then define the properties, like the width, hieght, thumb size, minimum, maximum, as well as enabling livedragging. I did this so the user can drag the slider and move through the Movie Clip symbol. I added a button that allows the user to click it and autoplay the Movie Clip symbol (ShapeMC). All that works. What I would like to do is when I hit the play button, I would like to see the thumb on the slider move along the slider as the Movie Clip symbol (ShapeMC) plays. So if the Movie Clip symbol reaches frame 5, the slider thumb show be seen as being half way through the tread. I tried putting the currentFrame into the .value property of the slider, but that didn't do anything. No errors, but it didn't move the thumb at all.

I'm just now trying the Motion Editor for the first time in CS4 Professional. I've created a shape, converted it to a symbol, done an Insert Motion Tween, and brought up the Motion Editor. I'm looking for Rotation X and Rotation Y, but only see Rotation Z. My Publish Settings are Flash Player 10, ActionScript 3.

I am importing a movie clip as a symbol from a SWF using Embed to a AS3 program and, after attaching the movie clip to the stage, the movie clip keeps repeating. Before you ask I have indeed creating a script layer and put a "stop()" on the last frame. In fact the swf containing the symbol works perfectly fine when executed on its own or in Flashdevelop (my choosen IDE). Its only when imported does the clip keep repeating.Here is the code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;

What I want to do is create a page that many other pages link to. This will be my index page. When it loads, the Flash movies play.But, when they return to this page after leaving it to go somewhere else on my site, I don't want the movies to play again.I thought of just having an HTML page that looks exactly like it and then linking the other pages to it, but, since there are a whole lotta pages that need to link to it, search engines might rank that dummy page more highly making it the landing page and then no one would ever visit the real index page with the animations. What to do? Here's a prototype of the page I'm talking about.

I would like to pause the background music as an FLV with audio plays and have the bg music restart (if possible) after the FLV stops.
The website is: iamnvjones.com and the flv movies are on "about me" and contact" page.
The way the site is setup now....when a visitor clicks "music off", it turns off the sound for the background music and FLV movie.

I'm trying to create a simple swf file containing an m4v file along with default player controls. I want to add this to a Web page. I've successfully generated such a file, and using the HTML generated by the publish option, I've gotten it to play on IE, FF, Chrome, and Opera under Windows 7. When I try to open the same Web page from the same location on my Mac, however, I see the player controls with an green animation that indicates loading. The movie itself never loads. I've tried this under Safari, Chrome, and Firefox on Mac, all with the same result. I've also had friends try this on other Macs, with the same result. Is there some difference in how Windows and OS X deal with SWF files that I need to account for?

I have a SWF (1.8mb) which I placed onto my HTML page using Dreamweaver, and set to autoplay. When I save the file and open it in Firefox/Safari, the movie plays as expected. But when I uploaded the files to my hosting server, the movie doen't appear (not even a box where it should be - just nothing but blank space where it should be). I've made sure that I uploaded the SWF, the HTML file, the expressInstall.swf, and the swfobject_ modified. js file. I also changed the permissions to allow executable scripts. I don't have a Flash blocker installed.[code]

I have a video looping via AS3; only thing is the video slightly pauses at the end before it loops. I have tried the following, but no matter which method, I get that pause:
(METHOD 1)
container.myVideo.autoRewind = true;
container.myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.AUTO_REWOUND,
loopVideo);
function loopVideo(event:VideoEvent):void {
container.myVideo.play();
}
(METHOD 2)
container.myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, playAgain);
function playAgain(evt:VideoEvent):void {
container.myVideo.seek(0);
container.myVideo.play();
}

Right, so I've got this engine down:[URL]..EDIT: Arrow keys to move, a to jump.It seems fine at first, but as you can see, if you jump with a platform overhead, you get stuck in that platform - that happens because the registartion point of the mc (the '+') is at the feet of the character. It needs to be this way so that it registers on the ground.
