Professional :: Animate Movieclips In 3d Space
Jul 31, 2010
I noticed a bug when trying to animate movieclips in 3d space: Basically the bug occurs when trying to tween a movie-clip in 3d space across a z range that is greater than 5000 or so, which then results in very odd behavior (see end of movie above). What strikes me as especially odd, is that the whole tweening rate is messed up when this occurs, it's as if the program decides to only tween half of the distance that I give it.
I know I can workaround the problem by just scaling the object as well while it's moving, but that's besides the point. It was the very first thing I tried in CS5 and took me less than 5 minutes to find. I doubt i'm the only one. =Edit= So it seems the exact value is 5760. that's the largest distance flash will tween an object in the z direction. Also, it doesn't matter where that range is, for example I can go from 0 to 5760 or 4000 to 9760, both work just fine. This means I can work around this problem by creating two seperate tweens, but that really shouldn't be necessary, and is very bothersome considering how the new tween system works, it automatically tries to add a new keyframe to the current tween, where the limit still applies.

Is there an easy way to animate multiple movieclips without using a lot of functions and setInterval??I want an animation to start and before it's finished another one starts, right now I'm using a ton of functions and setInterval but I'm sure there's a cleaner more efficient way to achieve this.

I have various instances of a movieclip spread across 3D space. The user is able to navigate across the 3D space using the mouse or the arrow keys - I've used a style similar to the old school first person shooter games. Some of the objects on the stage are related so I want to connect them with a line to show their relationship. As all my objects are dynamically created through AS at runtime the relationships also need to be dynamically generated. As the user navigates around the 3D space the line between the objects needs to get redrawn.
In a 2D world I'd use the drawpath or moveTo/LineTo methods to join the movieclips and have a function on the onEnterFrame command of the 3D space to keep redrawing the line.However since this is a 3D world I need to take into account the z location of the movieclips as well as the x and y locations.how I could do this or even point me in the right direction to get started?

I have the following code, which works beautifully when all the boxes are the same height. The basic point is that I have three boxes on the stage, 10 pixels apart. If you click and drag those boxes above or below each other, they reorganize themselves.

Does anyone know how to go about animating a movie clip that would go behind another movie clip?
For instance: A stack of photos, that on click, the top photo would animate to the left (or right) and then animate to the back of the stack. My only problem is that i don't understand how to change the order of things, or if this is even possible (as essentially eveything is on layers), the only way i can think of is to have everything on one layer, but then this would interupt the animation of each photo

I'm trying to do a rather complicated mask in flash and can't quite get it right. I have a logo with three arrows on it. The arrows travel in water droplet pattern. Between the arrow heads is a small white space. I need to build this as a mask because the color of the arrows has a gradiation from light blue to dark blue.

Are symbols only supposed to be used when you need 100% exact copies of an object? So if you need to animate an instance of the symbol you can't use the symbol? Is that correct?

i've been trying to animate a basic character, which is a comp of 2 legs, 2 arms, a torso and a head.I want it to move from point a to point b, whilist moving it's arms and legs in a very simple manner. what i've done is motion tweened the main character from point a to point b during 10 frames, and then inside the character i've classic tweened the arms and legs during 10 frames aswell. the animation inside the comp is working, but in the main scene i only see the character moving, and in frame 10 the arms and legs change to the tween's final pose, without the entire animation in the middle...

I've just started using Adobe Flash Pro CS5 for mac and I'm having trouble importing figures to animate. I've watched Youtube videos and have replicated what they do, but once I import the figure there is a blank box around where the figure should be. Also, the figure will show up in my library, but not in the stage.

I need a very simple solution to make a very simple stylized hockey player. The player has to skate around the rink holding a hockey stick, then, stop and shoot a puck. I don't want the character or animation to be super realistic, but it has to look like the player is sort of skating and shooting a puck. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?I am open to any suggestions or a good tutorial or even if someone has the time to create a simple sample file of how to set up the skating

I am trying to animate an adjustment layer in Flash with Photoshop. The only way to describe the effect I'm looking for is if you apply an adjustment layer to an image/photoshop file (i.e. Hue/Saturation) and move the slide bar from one side to another. This effect works well with pictures that have multiple colors. I might be able to provide a video of this effect if my description is confusing.

I have two main clips with clickable clicks within each. I am using swapDepths on the two main clips in a tab navagation fashion. The problem is that if I click on the space between the nested clips in the top clip it actually is hitting the buttons(movieclips) on the other clip under it. Any suggestions?

As the title says, how do you animate the resizing and moving of graphic symbols without making the other objects go invisible? I'm using Flash CS4. Here are the bizarre, unexplainable problems I've had before. First of all, here's my basic scene. It's 6 rectangles and 8 half-circles. [URL]. First thing I tried doing was applying a Classic Tween (since Motion Tween did nothing and Shape Tween was disabled). However, what that did was turn every object in the entire work space into one giant object for no reason at all, which certainly isn't what I wanted. [URL]. What I realized is that in order to avoid having all of the objects merged into one, I had to create a brand new file first. [URL].
Next, I added in a blank keyframe and a Classic Tween while the workspace is still empty. [URL]. Then finally copy/paste the objects into the first frame from the first file: [URL]. Now I paste those shapes again into the target frame and resize one of the diagonal shapes: [URL]. Then I moved that rectangle to a new position: [URL]. However, when I preview the animation, only the animating object shows up... everything else is invisible. [URL]. Also, if I try moving a different object, the rectangle will start spinning for no reason. [URL]. How can I animate this object without making everything else go invisible and keep the object from spinning out of control?
