View 6 RepliesProfessional :: Copy Bones/armature To New Movieclip?
Jan 1, 2010I am working on a character that I will animate with bones. I painted the parts (left them as vector shapes), kept them all separate from each other on different layers and not touching. Added bones to each part. Flash made the armature layers each time. This is all inside a movie clip.I now want to copy and paste each part with bones/armature into a new movie clip so I can make mini animations, like a walk cycle, for example with out having to keep redoing all of my work. Somehow - I did this once.
I selected, copied, switched into the empty movieclip pasted it and there is was - armature layer, bones with object. All there. Moves fine When I tried to do it with the next part on a new layer, it just copied the vector shape with no bones. It is making me crazy. How do I copy and paste or duplicate an armature? I did it once, so I can be done...I included screen shots of the parts and the new movie clip - the body went with the bones (automatically made an armature layer when pasting) the leg did not.Attachments:creen shot 2010-01-01 at 2.51.20 PM.png (38.1 K)

I've tried various ways but cannot get the hang of it and I'm usually stuck with unable to add a limb or something other, below is a simple representation of my stickman. I want all joints on the body to be movable, including both feet and the head. I just don't know where to start. My best so far was attempting to start at the hips and move up to the neck and then the head second but that didn't work out.

Oct 28, 2011[URL] I just watched a tutorial where they apply bnes to deform a "bitmap" image. Their image didn't distort like my image. Why is this happening. I imported an image then I "selected "break apart" and then I added bones to it. When I move the bones it makes the image distort, but in this tutorial here the image doesn't distort. What is wrong?
View 6 RepliesProfessional :: Using The Bones Tool With Imported Art - Body Is Highlighted But I Can't Connect The Other Objects?
Mar 24, 2011I have a game design project that I have to animate characters for. The Bone tool in Flash seems like the perfect tool for the job!Here's my problem: I can draw things in Flash and rig them with the Bone tool and animate them fine. However, I'm much more comfortable with Illustrator. But whenever I try to bring in external artwork, I get lots of errors.Create (solid color, single object) body parts as layers in Illustrator. Import Illy file to stage in Flash. Drag bone tool across body. Body is highlighted but I can't connect the other objects. I realize the Armature is only above the body layer and all the other layers are on top. Drag Armature layer to top. Still no luck. The bone just doesn't care about the other objects.Should I make all the elements into MovieClips? That hasn't worked when I've tried it. Should I import differently? Should I make the entire character into a movieclip and then rig the instance on the stage?
I'll be exporting it to PNGs at the end, so I don't need it to be robust down the line.I get other errors with other importing methods too, but I can't recall them ("Can't connect...something" when using a PSD).

View 1 RepliesIDE :: Animating The Bones Tool With Script
Oct 2, 2009I just recently got the trial version of Flash CS4, and I want to know.. Is it possible to animate a joint with simple position scripting(just editing the x and y coordinates), while letting the bones tool take care of the rest of the animation, eg. joint rotations etc. Or does the bones tool only work in the document stage? (I would try.. but I find that I can barely make an onEnterFrame in AS3.. This jump from AS2 to 3 really is quite big.)

May 23, 20111. Is it possible to mix shapes and movieclips in a IK-skeleton? In other words, connect shapes and movieclips?
2. When bending a shape with a couple of bones too much, the shape will become transparent at places it overlaps itself. Is there any way to prevent this? I want to create bodies that bend in all sorts of ways but I don't want to see through the shape at places where it overlaps itself.
3. It will not look very realistic if all body parts just can rotates 360 degrees around the z-axis. They should be able to scale down to create a 3D-illusion.Is it possible to resize the length of a bone and at the same time make the movieclip to also shrink in one axis?
4. Look at the file. Is there any way to prevent the body from being stretched out when he lifts the arms?

Jun 10, 2011Somebody answered that a way to get a control bar to a .swf file was to use the "button handlers and the goto and stop methods".No reference as to what is meant by this or to where I can get the .html to do this.I've got the .swf file but no control bar!I understand that .swf can be visible by most browsers.So how do I get the scripting for addin these button handlers and the goto and stop method". Since I'm a newbie, please don't say, this is easy, just use this or that method.I need the scripting that will do it.I know how to put the .swf in the page with <object> and <embed src=""> but no control bar.
View 3 RepliesProfessional :: Control One SWF From Another On The Same Webpage
Jun 30, 2010I've done a search and found out about LocalConnections but I don't seem to be able to apply them to my issue. I have two separate SWF files that appear on the same web page. Both are simple animations and all I want is when the first has finished playing for the second to start, and them when that has completed restart the first one again (and so on...).
I'm also guessing that in order for this to work I'll need some code in the first SWF to detect that the second has finished loading otherwise nothing will happen when the first SWF reaches the end.

Professional :: Adding Control Bar To SWF Video
Jan 15, 2010I need to add a control bar (play, pause, progress bar) to a SWF video in Dreamweaver. It can be very simple, the look and feel is not that important, it just needs to be functional. The only way I can figure out to add one is to import a FLV file into Dreamweaver instead. The problem with this is that I can't figure out how to export a FLV file directly from Flash CS3, and using a converter program to create a FLV file nullifys the links in the menu at the end of the video. Any help would be great! This seems like it should be really simple to accomplish, but I have been pulling my hair out over it all day now.

View 1 RepliesProfessional :: Control Over The ScrollPane Component?
Nov 29, 2010I've got some moveieClips in container in a scrollpane component.The movieClips are draggable.I'd like to add extra functionality where if an item is dragged and touches the bottom of the scrollpane, it automatically scrolls up, and the reverse if you touch the top with a dragged object.I tried the scrollDrag, but I only want it to scroll once the dragged item touches the bottom or top.So I wrote this and put it in the drag function:[code]....
It needs a bit of work, and I think I can get it working, but the one thing I'm stumped on is how to make the scrollbar move too.Is there a way to communicate with the component using code (I created this component from the component inspector)?
Professional :: Variables For Timeline Control?
Feb 1, 2011I am building a somewhat sophisticated slide menu. I have input a wait(); command using setInterval in the first frame of my actions panel. My wait() function works perfectly.I have also set a few variables to start out being false. Once a particular button is clicked, it sets the variable to true and sends the playhead to a particular spot within the movie. Actionscript then performs a command to that says if that variable has been set to "true" gotoAndPlay "this", otherwise gotoAndPlay "this-instead".
The problem I am having is that when I click on one of the buttons, it is somehow setting all the variables to true and sending the playhead to places I don't want it to go.Here is the code I have placed in my first frame:
button1 == false; button2 == false; button3 == false; button4 == false;
//Make movie wait for ten second interval before resuming playfunction wait() {stop();var myInterval = setInterval(function () {play();clearInterval(myInterval);}, 10*1000); // stop for 10 seconds}[code]....
For some reason, regardless of which button is actually pressed, (cube2, cube3, or cube4, all of the variables are set to "true" and the playhead goes to whichever frame it wants to at that point.

Professional :: Flvplayback Control With Mouse?
Jan 1, 2012How would I go about using an external video in which the video would scrub (or move forward or rewind) when the user clicks on an object and drags the object left or right? I want to make a site in which the user has control over the movie, and when they choose left or right, the video will scrub to a certain cue point. wants it hits that cue point, the video will seek to another cue point and the story will continue. I want to make it so when the user clicks on the person, and drags them, it scrubs through the video as if the person is walking in a certain direction. I think I have the cue points set up properly, now to just figure out the rest.
