I have a CS4 document with many objects, motion paths over multiple layers. I want to scale everything, including the motion paths of each object. I've tried to do this by Clicking 'Edit Multiple Frames', then 'Selecting All Frames' and finally scaling everything via the Transform panel. Everything appears to have been scaled apart from the motion paths. Is there a way to do this?
View 2 RepliesI'm new to Flash and have a question. I'm creating a Helium atom for my technology class and am trying to get 2 electrons to circle the nucleus. I've successfully created a classic motion path where one electron circles the nucleus. How do I create another (duplicate) motion path for the other.
View 3 RepliesIs there a way to have multiple seperate objects follow the same motion tween, so one object follows the other, or do they all have to have thier own individual tween?
View 1 RepliesI have an object that gets attached to the stage everytime I click (like a side shooting game). What I want is the object to have a speed in a specific direction. I got it to work by the code-
Code:
if (total_bolt_no>0) {
var bolt_name="bolt"+total_bolt_no;
var bolt_n:Sprite=this.getChildByName(bolt_name) as heroweapon;
[Code].....
The problem that arises is that when I spawn another object the previous one becomes still. I tried using the for loop but everytime I click the angle also changes, thus changing the speed of all attached objects.
No matter how much I look, I can't find that option anywhere in Flash. The manual doesn't say either.
View 4 RepliesI have created an animation using a motion tween. When I publish it as an SWF, it correctly does not show the green motion path. However, when I export as an AVI, it actually shows the path in the AVI video. How can I "turn off" the path display
View 4 RepliesI am having a problem with a scripted animation. I am trying to use the tween class to send three objects across the screen at once. For some reason, this tests fine in "test movie" but the swf stops the second two tweens at their initial points and tweens only the first one. As you can see from the code, they all have different var names and object names.
var medTween:Tween = new Tween(logo3D4, "x", None.easeNone, 1200, -1000, 6, true);
var bigTween:Tween = new Tween(logo3D3, "x", None.easeNone, -500, 600, 8, true);
var smallTween:Tween = new Tween(logo3D2, "x", None.easeNone, 1000, -1300, 5, true);
I have to incorperate flash animations aswel. Im just wondering about a drag and drop function. I have a fair idea how to do a basic drag and drop function.
Message_MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,dragPoly);Message_MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,dropPoly);
function dragPoly(e:MouseEvent):void{ Message_MC.startDrag(); }function dropPoly(e:MouseEvent):void{ Message_MC.stopDrag(); }
I want to be able to drag multiple objects at the same time and also play a sound.is this possible?
if(Message_mc is clicked and dragged){
then drag Encryption_mc and Decryption_mc
also play ("Song.mp3")
}
I have the following prototype, which is used by typing objName.fadeIn(100, 3);this is all well and good, although when I start to use it on multiple mc's at once the playback becomes quite choppy and nasty..
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function(v, r) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {

I'm making a very simple animated flight plan with 3 airfields and six airplanes as seen from the top. To imitate the effect of take off and landing I want to be able to change the size of the plane when it flies.Only trouble is I can do that only with the Free Transform Tool. Even if I select Modify -> Transform -> Scale I have to change the shape of each object manually and they end up having different sizes. I tried editing the size in the properties box but the fields are greyed out. Any idea how I can change that.
View 2 RepliesI animate a DisplayObject with a Motion XML (exported from Flash). The first time I apply a motion to it, everything works fine. The second time I apply a motion, the position / scale is reset to what it was before I first applied a motion. How can I keep the transform of the DisplayObject after a motion is played when I want to play a new motion ? I want the DisplayObject to start from where it was at the end of the first motion.Here's the code I use:
private function animate(motionXML:XML, target:DisplayObject):void
if(!animator)animator = new Animator(motionXML, target);
// Add event listerners

I have a network graph visualization generated using Gephi containing many nodes and edges.I need to produce an animation of a camera (or moving movieclip) to "flythrough" the network along the path of the bezier curves, visiting each (not necessarily every) node at random. I've made a quick animation of what this would look like.
How can I achieve this programmatically through AS3 or Processing or using mbostock D3 javascript library on github? My attempt in AS3 so far has been to convert an SVG produced by gephi into AS3 code using Miller H. Borges Medeiros' tool then try to adapt a bezier tweening library such as Zeh Fernando's example but I'm having difficulty.Medeiros' converter is splitting quadratic beziers into 4 separate quadratic beziers, and I'm not sure how to transform flash's curveTo Method into an array of bezier points as in Fernando's code.Then there is the problem of animating the camera through only those nodes which are connected to eachother.
Does anyone know if there is some kind of program that can convert the XML paths to Flash paths. Hmm...what I'm after is some little program that basically lets me open up an XML file, point on a node or attribute and the program will the flashpath to this node/attribute, where the path is something like: his.firstchild.childnode[2].attribute.jadajada

View 2 Repliesbasic coding plan for scaling up and down the video at run time when I open a digital scrap book.The idea is very simple.. I have a Digital Interactive scrap book which will flip to the page which has the event housed on that page and will show a Thumbnail of the event. In the meantime the Loader will keep loading the movie file and show a progress bar. Once when the loader is done with, I want the Video to scale up to the size of the Stage and then play the video and once the file has reached the end it should scale down the video and go back to the Index page-the home page whioch started this..
View 1 RepliesI have airplanes that are flying past the screen from a top down view. when the air planes crash, I scale them down to make it appear as if they are falling closer to the ground and farther away from the screen. I have turrets on these crafts as well. they are seperate objects from the air plan. I scale them down as well. The only problem is they dont reposition correctly. they stay in their x and y positions even though they are being scaled it looks as if they are being pulled away from the air plane. is it possible to reposition them correctly based on the size on the object they sit on (i.e. the air planes)
View 1 RepliesI have to marbles (balls) lets call them m1 and m2, I am trying to have m1 move across the stage and hit m2, then have m1 stop and m2 continue moving off the screen at the same rate as m1.
I am able to get m1 to move over (left to right) and hit m2 and stop using hitTestObject, but I can't figure out how to get m2 to move to the right.
I need to scale and move a object at the same time.
Like in this example but with actionscript instead of motion tweening.
I got the circle to scale up but need assistance to have the circle scale down after x amount of time.

I need to scale and move a object at the same time.

This is unfortunately a quite complex issue to explain, so please don't get discouraged by the wall of text - it's there for a reason. i'm working on a transformation manager for flash, written with Actionscript 3. Users can place objects on the screen, for example a rectangle.
This rectangle can then be selected and transformed: move, scale or rotate. Because flash by default rotates around the top left point of the object, and I want it to rotate around the center, I created a wrapper setup for each display object (eg. a rectangle).
[Code]...
Now, to the question: should I use a different kind of setup, system or structure? Should I maybe use matrixes, if so, how would you keep a static width/height after rotation? Or how do I fix my current wrapper system for scaling after rotation?
Would anybody happen to know if there is a way to scale objects accordingly on stage when switching to fullscreen.. It's sort of like when the stage is set to "scale", and all the objects scale accordingly, but I'm trying to scale the objects while having the stage set to "noScale"..
View 1 RepliesI'm a beginner in Flash-AS, and I have been spending a lot of time on a (simple?) problem, still I didn't find anything that helps me. Here it is: I would like to place (via ActionScript) an object (let's say a ball) along a curve (free-shaped). The position of the ball is defined by a percentage in relation to the length of the curve : for example, 0% or 100% put the ball at the start or the end of the curve, 50% put the ball exactly at the middle of the curve... I don't need any animation, I just want to place the ball at the initialisation.
View 1 RepliesI having a hard time on a small task that I thought was easy to accomplish, but it is taking me longer than expected and not the results I am wanting.I am developing a shooting game. I have a hero that can shoot only so often (once every half second for example). I am trying to scale a MovieClip depending on how much time is left to be able to fire again.
So when the hero shoots the gun, the MovieClip will have a scale of 0. When 250 milliseconds has elapsed, the MovieClip's scale should be at .5, assuming the gun can only shoot every half second.
Can anyone provide code on how to accomplish this? This is what I have to keep track of when the hero can shoot next,

Im currently building a little 3D particle engine in flash the uses sprites.to set the position of each sprite I am using the projectVector function below. (the viewTransform matrix is the particles world matrix concatenated with a perspective projection matrix)
var projectedPoint:Vector3D = Utils3D.projectVector(viewTransform, point);
sprite.x = projectedPoint.x;
sprite.y = projectedPoint.y;

when i have a motion tween and an alpha tween happening at the same time, it works great the first time- that is the motion and alpha changes happen simultaneously- but after that there is a home button that pulls my navigation menu back in, and then if you go back to where you were, the "slide out" of the navigation menu tweens the motion first, then alpha after the motion has stopped.http:[url]....click on the "info" navigation button, then the tween happens. then click the "slarm" button (that is supposed to be the "go back to home button") and you'll see that the tweens have changed. it works exactly as i want it to the first time, then everytime after it executes the motion before the alpha!

View 2 RepliesI am using the random motion code found here at Kirupa. [URL]I have the code working fine but I have a question about fixing it to my needs.
