Can't Add A Keyframe Without Clicking Timeline
Oct 13, 2010I'm working with Flash CS5 and a Wacom Intuos3 tablet. In my first time working with CS5, I set up my hotkeys on the tablet to what I normally have when I'm doing frame-by-frame animation in Flash. I have one button set to F6, which used to add a keyframe wherever my playhead was on the timeline. What I prefer to do is scrub to where I want the next frame using my scroll/strip and just hit the F6 button where I want a new keyframe. But in CS5, what's happening is it's not adding any keyframes at all, but instead moving my playhead back to the last keyframe I edited. What's going on? I can't even scroll to where I want and add a keyframe without physically clicking the frame itself and THEN pressing F6.

May 12, 2005I am making a thing on my flash animation with a 3d planet spinning. When you move your mouse over it the planet will stop and contact info comes up, and when you rollOut the planet continues spinning and the contact info fades away. I have everything working but i cant get the planet to stop spinning when i do this because the button controls the fade but the planet is just spinning in the backround, hard to explan. Anyways i need to be able to send a stop and play action to the planet movie clip behind the button to stop. i need to send an action from Scene 1>universal>destinationclip>world. from a keyframe on the destination clip.

Dec 6, 2004i think i may have a challenge for you. I would like to have a flash movie load to a random keyframe in a timeline when the page loads. Basically, i'd like to set up a timeline with say 10 movies. When the page loads, i'd like the flash to randomly select from some predetermined keyframes (obviously where each movie starts) and when that movie ends, jump to another section of the timeline. This way, the loading of the movies is somewhat seamless and it looks like i've made 10 different flash movies.
Even if it's not possible to all load from the same timeline, i'd like to have it play the first movie, then when it reaches an ending frame, it loads another random movie from a directory on the server, and then keeps going and going until it can't stand it anymore.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Plays One Keyframe Then Switches To 2nd Keyframe When Date Changes?
Mar 15, 2012I 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;

Professional :: Saving One Keyframe As A Swf?
May 26, 2011I've inherited a flash project @ work and I need to save a keyframe as it's own .swf file, but I don't recall how to get Flash to do just that.
The flash .fla file seems to hold multiple keyframes that need to be saved as their own .swf files, which are referred to in the Actionscript by name.
I've figured out the editing, but this business of keyframes i've forgotten how to manipulate.
Professional :: Go To Previous Keyframe
Nov 2, 2011I 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.

View 3 RepliesProfessional :: Error When Adding Keyframe
Jan 7, 2010So 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.

View 3 RepliesProfessional :: Keyframe Keyboard Short-cut?
Jan 18, 2012While 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.
View 3 RepliesProfessional :: Muting Audio For A MC On A Specific Keyframe?
Jul 12, 2011I 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.
Professional :: Swap A Symbol On Each Keyframe Of Animation?
Oct 18, 2011I have a VERY big animation, with a huge amount of keyframes, and I like to swap a symbol in this animation with another one.

So how do I do this for every keyframe in every tween ?
Professional :: Video Doesn't Start At Keyframe 1
Apr 7, 2012my 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.

View 1 RepliesProfessional :: Converted Symbol Can't Be Pasted Into Keyframe: Motion Tweening
Jul 24, 2010I 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?
View 3 RepliesProfessional :: Motion Tween Path On Stage For Keyframe Display
Mar 21, 2011I 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
