I came a across a really sharp intro effect I'd like to try and create in jQuery, mootools or prototype[url]... (Just the spin in effect) So in a sense, I want to spin in the main content div of the page.

My Flash animation using 100% CPU. I don't know why? It is a simple animation i.e. done in an ecard at: Valentine Ecard. I have not used any script in it nor it has too much animation in it. The frame rate is 12.
View 0 RepliesI really don't want something sophisticated, in fact I want the simplest animation for learning purpose:I just want to move a shape on a straight line.Is it possible to do so in pure actionscript (with flex sdk only) by creating a timeline programmatically or without creating timeline ?

View 5 RepliesI am trying to create a simple animation, juste a picture that need to move from left to write while rotating around the vertical axis.I tried just to have the first position normal and the final position scaled at -100% in width but it also distort and move up and down.I already did that in acstionscript but not just graphicaly.
View 2 RepliesIm trying to convert my company's logo from a jpg to a flash movieclip...I need to do this because the jpg has a static background of white...but I need the background to be transparent so that only the text graphix show up above everything else...assuming I can get a hold of the font used for the logo...how would I do all the fancy shading/lighting with the "bent horizon" look across it? I am by no means a designer...merely a wannabe developer...so I know nothing as far as the pretty part of flash is concerned...here is the logo I am trying to duplicate..
View 2 RepliesIm working on a project where i have 5 buttons on one side and a blank window in the middle of the screen. when a button is clicked an external swf is loaded with movieclips of text based on each catergory. 2 of these movieclips of text are long and a request for an index at the top of the page has been made. everything in the movie is working so far except the page index. i wanted to create this similiar to the way an html index works with page anchors.
i have made all the letters and converted them to movieclips. ive added event listeners to those buttons so that the main window's y position is moved when they are clicked. the main swf window will jump down to the desired position but the scroll button remains at the top and theres no way to scoll back up to the top of the page.
I am having trouble getting a simple animation to play properly, on a site designed by someone else, in IE. It works fine in Mozilla and Safari. In IE, on some computers, it shows up but there is a prompt about downloading a Shockwave add-on. On other computers it doesnt show up at all. Going from Mac to PC is also presenting problems. I'm freelance, so it's not like I'm in the office with these other people, so I only know what's going on with the 3 pc's I have at my disposal; which is as described above.
View 3 RepliesI would like to recreate the flash selection tool's functionality. To clarify, I created a drawing program that uses the drawing api. Now if a user draws a circle, I would like them to have the ability to stretch and mold it like you can in flash by hovering close to the edge so the ) cursor shows up.
View 3 RepliesMy problem relates to an animation that uses the x and y axis.
for(loop =0; loop < 5; loop++){
boxName = "box" + loop;
attachMovie("box", boxName, 10 * loop);
var randomPlace:Number= random(500) + 550;
var NumX:Number = randomPlace;
[Code] .....
What the code above does is displaying small boxes that are moving from the right to the screen to the left, and then they come back again (like a loop I suppose) and each time a 'box' re-appear, it starts off at a random place at the very top of the screen. I want to make it that it drops just from the top to the screen to the bottom. ( Like snow falling from the sky). But I can't get my ahead around the x / y axis. Also, the size of my frame is 550x400.

View 1 RepliesI've searched everywhere online, and can't find the help for this!
I've found some videos, but they did not seem to offer any sort of help for me.
I still cannot for the life of me figure out how to take 3 images, and make them into a simple walking animation and to convert that to one symbol.
Can anyone offer their help to me please so I can get my project going?
I'm using CS4, and all articles I can find are of the older versions of flash.
I am getting familiar with the Flash animations I am trying to make a simple animation within the text input area i.e.
1.FAN BASE
2.FA NBASE
What I want is the letter N to move slowly towards letter B.I have done motion tweening but it doesn't work -either the whole text is moving left right or the letter N is simply skipping to the second position without smooth animation.( there's no error on motion tween by the way)
not sure if this is the right place to post this question but here goes! I want to create a simple card flip animation whereby a card slides onto the screen from the right, flips over to reveal a different picture on the other side, flips back and then slides off screen. In fact, the full animation will involve two cards, sliding onto the screen one after the other, then flipping one at a time, flipping back one at a time and then only ONE of them sliding off screen, to the left or right depending on which side of the screen they are on. Can anyone tell me whether this is possible using Flash CS5? I am a total novice at this, and having spent hours and hours on it, I have so far only managed to get a card to slide onto the screen and flip but I don't know how to get it to show a different picture on the other side.
View 8 RepliesI used to code with "Processing" so maybe I keep the same habbit when I code in AS3. I'm not really sure how to animate in a good way using Enterframe. I made a not so complex animation and I am suprised that there is a very bad latency when I run it. Maybe there is something I don't understand when I write Graphics.
At each Enterframe, I write a black rectangle with a 0.3 alpha to progressively erase old lines and just after I draw new lines.
Are these these Graphics lines and Graphics rectangles stay in memory? Do I have to delete it when they visually disapear from the stage?

I've been trying to create a simple text animation using XML and AS3 that I would like to run similar to the swf I've attached with this post. I've tried to look for tutorials similar to this that I can follow but I haven't found anything yet.I can get the xml to load up but I haven't been able to get the name to animate separately. The xml is structured like so.[code]
View 2 RepliesI have this image gallery that basically puts one image next another in 3 columns 8 rows. The images are selected randomly and so on.... The problem is I have no problem when the code is written without the bezierSlideTo..The images appear next to each other. When I add a simple animation the images appear on top of each other. I can't seem to find where I am making the mistake.

Can I use jQuery or something else to re-create this flash app's functionality?I haven't messed around with jQuery much, but I feel like the same functionality can be achieved as Flash can.Are there any other languages or combinations of languages that I could use to replicate the functionality of this site?
TimeGlider Timeline Creator
You have to click the start button on the bottom of the first screen in the top left of the page in order to start interacting with the timeline. If you click the X in the top corner, the timeline data won't load.After clicking start clicking on a picture will bring up a caption. If desired, a link is placed under the caption that opens to a new window. You can scroll through time and get details on events when they are clicked.There isn't a lot more to this site, but I want to be able to do something similar using jQuery or another capable language.Is this possible? If so, what languages do I need to use in order to replicate the functionality of the flash app on this site?
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 3 RepliesI have simple black line on white. It needs to crack like a whip. And it needs to recoil nicely. I'm not sure if top-notch tweening would do the trick. Or maybe a dense 'Inverse Kinematics' bone structure. Or if actionscript is the best course. I'm using a pen-tool/bezier-curved line right now and trying to shape tween with hints? I've never been bad at math, but I'm not a programmer and it's been a while.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a simple animation using Movie Clips and AS3.
What I have is multiple Movie Clips in the main timeline. I tried to use the following code on the last frame of each movie clip timeline to play the next one. In this case mc_1.
MovieClip(root).mc_1.gotoAndPlay();
Here is the error i get:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I didn't think I need a function or declaration for this to work. What am I doing wrong. Every search I do pertains to using a button which I can see would require a function, var, and eventListener. I can't find anything for a looping animation with no buttons???
Basically all I am trying to do, is place a simple text animation on a separate layer and animate it. Every time I insert the first keyframe on the first character of the text I am animating, it turns the whole document white. When I preview it like this, the white "layer" pulses at the set frame rate I have applied. I have played around with moving the layers and what not and I cant get this problem to go away.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a simple interactive animation for a website that consists of three rollover areas on a page. When you mouse over an area, a bit of explanatory text is revealed by animating a mask over some text. The text is left displayed until a mouseover of a different area occurs.Let's call the three mouseover targets A, B, and C.A MOUSE_OVER event listener is registered for all three targets. In the event handler for each, I'm following a pattern like this:
Code:
A.transform.colorTransform = highlighted;
B.transform.colorTransform = notHighlighted;

I want to load in external swfs into an mc on the root called 'holder'.In As2, I would just do loadMovie("whatever.swf", this.holder); And if I loaded another swf into that same holder it would replace the contents with the new swf.
But now, I'm trying As3 and doing..var i =new Loader();i.load(new URLRequest("contact.swf"));this.holder.addChild(i)
When I repeat this code, for another external swf, I want it to replace the first one, but it appears to not be doing that. I fear that this addChild, is simply adding more mc's within my main holder mc.
So I don't know how to match the functionality that I liked from As2.
I'm trying to recreate the sky with a rotating clip in the shape of an arc. I've tried the built-in timer that changes the rotation, I've tried the TweenMax class, and I've tried hand-building the animation with a motion tween. In all cases, the movement is jerky--smooth for about five frames, then a sudden jerk of motion. What can I do to make this animation smoother? Clip is about 2400px wide, 400px high, with a reg point about 3000px away that it rotates around.
View 3 RepliesI've been looking all over with no luck for a way to code the pen tool in AS3. What i want is, in the flash application, the pen tool as it functions in Flash itself. So, for example, i push Ctrl + Enter and test my program, then can use the mouse to click and create a point, click again and it connects with a straight line, or click and drag to create a curve. I don't need anything like hinges where you can go back and edit curves, i just want the click/click drag line functionality.
