How do I make an animation play and pause when I click. Meaning.. I want it to play part the first 10 frames when I click, and then stop. Then when I click again it will play from frame 11 to 20, then I click again it plays 21 to 30.
View 3 RepliesI have a certain set of motion twains that I've successfuly completed, they constantly loop right now (default), and is saved in the SWF file.I'd like to take that finished looping animation, and insert it within another animation (a) that can be played with a play button, and stopped/resetted with a stop button.How do I insert the completed looping animation into the main animation? And is there something special I have to do in the actionscript of the start and stop buttons so that the "inner" looping animation will start and stop with the "outer" main animation?
View 1 RepliesI'm new to Flash and AS and everything and I've been trying for 2 days now without success.What I'm trying to do is this. The small squares should fade in/spawn in the blue rectangle and fade away/disappear when they hit the red edges.URL...The animation was made on timeline, not using any AS3. The 2 main problems I have is to get the random number to be from negative 1 to 1 and for the squares to move straight and notgenerate a new direction on every frame. I'm not going to show any code cause it's just edited from tutorials and I don't understand half of it and looks terrible.
View 2 RepliesMy situation: I have a looping animation that contains multiple keyframes, and each keyframe contains a movieclip symbol I want to apply a color transformation to through actionscript.When I apply the color transformation once to the symbol, it works the first time around. But when the animation loops and plays again, the color transformation is gone.If I apply the color transformation at every keyframe each time in code, I can only display a few instances of the animation before the FPS suffers. Is there an efficient way to apply a color transformation once and have it stick?

View 4 RepliesI am trying to make a walking animation for a character with customizable parts. I can't seem to get this code to work correctly:
[Code]...
playerStance defines if the character is idle or walking, in this case walkingchar is a MC containing 2 frames : idle and walk (the frames contain MC:s for the current animation, in this case charwalk)charwalk contains 2 keyframes and the others are filler frames, the keyframes in this case are 1 and 16charwalk contains layers for all of the character parts, for example bottom1 (is located in frame 1)all of the parts contain frames for every variation of that partin every frame of the parts is a code : stop(); to prevent them from playing when I gotoAndPlay charwalkWhen I play this and update the parts after changing parameters, the algorithm returns a right value, but the parts don't go to the correct frames. Instead they are kept in the first frame.
I create an animation in Flash Pro (CS5) the a nimation plays fine, but when I publish or export it as a swf, only some of the content plays, things like text does not get included in the export or publish.

View 3 RepliesSuppose a MovieClip in as3 call myClip is 100 frames long and has labels at the following frames:0-start; 25-early; 50-mid; 75-late; 100-endCan someone explain (either using regular AS3 or with Greensock's TweenMax or TimelineMax) how to make my myClip play frames 0 to 25 then back to 0 again, and frames 100 to 75 and back to 100, Ideally would be able to loop over those ranges during a mouse ROLL_OVER event.
View 4 RepliesI am designing a very long page. There will be a flash animation at the bottom of the pageI want this animation to play only when the user scrolls down and this flash object comes into view. How do I do this? I am quite familiar with flash and actionscript, so I just need some pointers.I have seen that this is already being used for advertisements. If you visitthere are ads that appear far below on the page. These ads play only when you scroll down and the ad appears within the browser window. This happens on many other sites as well.Many popular sites also use something like this. On CNN, try opening a new tab that loads a flash video. The video begins to play only when you actually go to that tab. Until you open the tab and the contents become visible in your browser window, the video doesn't start. How is this done?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to make some buttons that play different parts of multiple movie clips- and also link to a url. I also want to be able to click on a movie clip and make it play starting from a certain point (this is what I have been working on) I have this code
stop();
_root.frogdance.stop();
froggy.onRelease = function() {
_root.frogdance.play(4);
}
it is on an actions layer of my main timline- I am not sure if I put it in the wrong place or what- but it doesn't do ANYTHING when I click on it when testing the movie. I gave the frogdance movie clip the instance name 'froggy' in the properties panel. The rest of what I am working with will be buttons that do things- but I also want this movie clip thing to work...
I made a simple 15 second animation. When I play it in the program (not published yet), it plays fine. When i publish it however (I have tried both flash published and HTML published), it plays about 3/4's of the way, and restarts. The second time through (and from then on), it plays fully, just fine. How do I stop this?
View 1 RepliesI have 3D videos encoded with each eye's content side-by-side on each frame. What I want to do is take the left-half and over-lay it on the right-half. (I'll then change with the colors and the overlaying so that someone with blue-cyan 3D glasses can view the video).
I tried to attach a single NetStream to two video objects and offset them, but that only let the stream play on one object.

View 2 Repliesi have a over and out animation but i only want to play the out animation when the over animation has completely finished and the same with out animation. i have this code
[Code]...
ok lets say you create a button that when held down play an animation of 20 frames if realsed it goes to frame one and stops if held down it plays out this animation. for the topic lets say you have a fire animation and you want the fire to apear and if the user hold its down the animation reaches the end of the time line and loops back and plays the last 5 frames of the animation and as soon as it is let go it goes to and stops at frame one. Well i know how to make a button that when held down plays out an animation. And i know how to say when released goes to and stops at frame one. What i dont know how to do is to loop the fire at the last 5 or 6 frames so the user can hold it down all day long and play out that animation.

View 1 RepliesOn a horizontal bar, text scrolls from left to right, continuously. The text is a fixed string of city names, and I've made it so that it loops nicely. This horizontal bar with scrolling text is part of a vertical animation, scrolling the bar in and out of view. The vertical tween starts after two seconds. When the vertical tween starts, the horizontal animation has started as well. At the beginning and end of the vertical tween, the horizontal tween starts over. I want it to continu.

View 2 RepliesI'm using Flash CS4 and I'm trying to create what I think is pretty simple. I have a tree that will have leaves. I want the individual leaves to fall on mouseover. When the animation is complete, I want the leaves to stay where they land and not reset back up on the tree. I know how to tween and animate the leaves, but everything else is really falling apart for me. I feel like this should be pretty simple. I've created the tree and leaves in illustrator and am importing the .ai file into flash and turning each of the leaves into a bitmap (as opposed to a movie file)
