I would like to know if its possible to create an isometric animation in flash like the example below. In case I want to create an isometric figure like the first two objects shown and by mouseover they should lift up to the last figure shown. Its no problem to create the basic figures with Photopshop, but I dont know how to animate them in flash cs5.
View 12 Repliesok 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 RepliesI'm trying to create a really fluid animation in flash, how do you think the designer animated the arms of the black shadow guy that appears right at the begginning of this game? [URL]. That's really fluid, did he just make some sort of shape tween? Or the Cyanide and Happiness series on youtube, how did they animate like that?

View 1 Repliescs4. I need the text to appear throught the left side an on to the middle of the banner and dissapear. I also need animated text to come in through the right side and do the same.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a flash animation in which a text title fades in to the screen. I created the text, converted it to a symbol, then tried to create a motion tween in which I could tweak the alpha values of the text object. However when I try to create the keyframe, the popup that comes up has the Color option greyed out (which is where I believe the alpha setting lives).
View 1 RepliesI've been trying to use ActionScript to create an isometric pseudo3d terrain generator thing, using a dot movie clip. I come from a C programming background and i thought it'd be pretty easy to just attach a load of movie clips to the stage and put them all (well references to them) into a 2d array so i could call back to them with ease for the moving and the jiggery pokery

how can i give tweening between 2 images (Just like a Shape tweeening )
ie: in 1st frame 1 draw a rectangle shape and 25th frame i draw a circle shape that the time i give a shape tweening means it comes correctly (the shape converts to another shape)
but the same concept i gave it for image means it is not comming properly ,
What tool can i use to create an animation the will run in I.E., Firefox and iPad. I want to have a series of large buttons that i can scroll using arrows on the left and right side of the large buttons, with each button being a hot spot. I can't use Flash because it is not supported on the iPad.

Can RSS Feeds be inserted into Flash?
I would like to create an animation whose sole purpose is to scroll a feed (like CNN), and that would change the source feed every 10 minutes.
I've used Flash before to create animations but it has been a long time. I've been asked to create a very simple animation using two images, one of a broken PC and one of a fixed PC. I want the broken PC to come in from the left and then fade into the fixed image of the PC which will be centred. I know this is very very simple but I can not for the life of me remember how to do animation, motion tweening etc. I have the two images and I've tried importing them, converting them to movie symbols etc but it doesn't go to plan. The animation needs to be between 1 - 3 seconds long at 12 fps. The document size is 550 x 400, standard I believe. I am using Macromedia Flash 8 Professional.

View 2 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 RepliesAm updating a 2D game I made to have an isometric view, problem is am having issues when converting the 2d coordinates of given movieclips into isometric ones. The way I converted my game into an isometric one is just by rotating rectangular graphic 45 degrees and increasing its width such that its 2 times the height.I having problems converting all my 2D coordinates into isometric ones.Is there a function to convert them, or a mathematical formula I could use? by the way the game am making is not tile based, so functions that use tiles to convert the coordinates are not going to work unfortunately.
EDIT: I managed to fix it, I just changed the alignment to be the upper left corner, i.e. though the game is isometric and has a demimonde shape, I imagined that it is contained in a box, and that box's upper left edge is where it is aligned...this way both x and y coordinates r the same ones in both 2D and "isometric" view.
I'm a novice in flash when it comes to actionscript and xml. Let me explain what I have so far and what i want to do with it. I have a basic flash animation, which constists of 12 images horizontally scrolling across the movie stage.It is animated to scroll from right to left at a speed of 1. I would like to update all those images once a month and so I'm looking for a way to do it using xml. Has someone done this before? It will make it a lot easier to update, rather than have to manually swap out pictures in the flash file.

View 1 RepliesI want to do a z-sorting for an isometric game via i,j, sizeI and sizeJ of the objects, and not the x/y values. I don't plan on using z axis.

If I failed to put some crucial detail to the problem don't be afraid to ask for it, I am in dire need of help

View 5 RepliesI'm writing a private website.I want to add an animation of a paper (which moves a bit in its conrners).I paln the user to add some text in the text area in that animated paper.My program will read the text and save it.The next time the user comes I'll show him this animated paper with the text he wrote.
1) As a newbie to animation. Should I use flasf? Is there a nice freeware and simple alternative? I saw this site but thought maybe someone can tell from his own experience
2) How can I include text area in an animated paper?
3) How can fill animated paper with the saved data later on ?

View 1 RepliesI am looking to create a 'tentacle' like effect for a flash animation. A frame by frame animation is not ideal as it is arduous and not very easily manipulated.
I have attached an fla of the effect I am looking for. Ideally it would be a line that snakes in and grows thicker at the back end. I can create it in the way included in the fla but it is not very portable and i cannot overlay different tentacles.
I think that a layer mask would be good but I cannot think of a way to go about it.
1) Is an isometric engine used to render the world in social games. If yes, can you guide me somewhere where I can learn how to use it.
