Smoother Tween Alternative To ENTER_FRAME Function?
Jul 5, 2009
I've got a tween which is called using an ENTER_FRAME event listener, as I need the movieclip to constantly tween until it's selected. However, the tween isn't very smooth, it's very jumpy and I'm guessing this has got something to do with the ENTER_FRAME event being constantly called. Is there a better way of creating a smoother tween?
Here's my code...
ActionScript Code:this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, ballFloat);private function ballFloat(event:Event):void { var myTweenX:Tween = new Tween(this, "x", Regular.easeOut, this.x, randomXBoundary, 10, true); TweenX = myTweenX; }// end of ballFloat function

I am using the ENTER_FRAME function with Math.random to animate / simulate a random number range, as you might see in a digital voltmeter for instance.
the range goes from 12.0 to 12.9 and works good, but my problem is that i need to slow down the rate at which the numbers change.... A LOT.
Is there anyway to do this without slowing down the whole timeline???
Currently my AS is confined to the digital volt movieclip.
This is what i have:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_EnterFrameHandler_1); function fl_EnterFrameHandler_1(event:Event):void{ var newVal:Number = 12 + (int(Math.random()*10)/10); volt.text = newVal.toString();}

I am designing a game in which there are three doors on stage. The doors are each instances of the same symbol. The instances are named "door1","door2" and "door3". The symbol contains three frames-"color1","color2" and "color3"- each frame is a the same door in a different color.
I want the game to randomly select a color for each door at the start of the game. I have been trying to use variations of the following code:
var min = 1;
var max = 3;
function doorColor (event:ENTER_FRAME, getNewDoor)
[Code].....
Why is the ENTER_FRAME tagnot working correctly?

For 2 weeks now I've been trying to debug what's wrong with my application, in failing to upload a file. I traced using firebug, and flash doesnt even TRY to access the aspx script which uploads.So Im trying to look now for an alternative, preferrably using javascript. Like taking all that upload behavior to be javascript's responsibility rather than flash's responsibility.

I'm creating a image gallery and I have this code when I click on image
html4strict Code:
imageBox[curCell._name]._visible = false;
imageBox[mc._name].fadeIn();
What I want to setup is imageBox[curCell._name] to move out to left while fading out.
And imageBox[mc._name] moving right of the screen to center while fading in...
get a tween function to left and a tween function to center from right?

I'm trying to find a function that will repeat my Rotational tween function. I found the yoyo() function to be what i want to do but i don't want the tween to change the rotation to CCW while originally moving CW. Basically i want the animation to move CW at a steady rate continuously.
I'm using the following code at the moment, i'm not too sure if this is the most suitable code for this situation, maybe im off track.
From my thoughts, i assumed that i would need to put the stars function in a onEnterFrame to repeat the animation and change yoyo() to continueTo() function. or maybe some sort of if statement in the stars function?
ActionScript Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var stars:Tween = new Tween(ring, "_rotation", Regular.easeInOut, 0, 360, 4, true);

I found a script to make the animation follow the mouse movement and it needed to stay in fixed boundaries. I have 3 different mc 1 behind the other and moving at a different pace to give a illusion of perspective. But here are my issues;1-It works but when I open a new window in the browser the mc(s) are disappearing. 2-And I would really need to ease or smooth the animation a little. I would like the mc(s) to continue to move and stop slowly after I already stopped moving the mouse. how to script both or even 1 of these ? Here's the code I am using now;
function loopX(e:Event):void
{
var xDist:Number = mouseX - 24000

Im changing the quality of a loaded clip with this._quality = "low" to make the animation run smoother, but it affects the parent clip as well, which I don't want it to do.

I normally spend hours battling with the simpliest AS and eventually work it out.I've trying to run the following AS applied to a button:
on (rollOver) {
i = getProperty(this.button01, _alpha);
while (i<100) {
if (i>100) {
[code]....
The action seems to work, however the increment is instant and I want to achieve a smoother transition.

I was looking through the tutorials on kirupa and i stumbled across the dynamic animating mc's and i was intrigued. So i made a canvas graphic real quick and imported it into flash and tested it out. at first it didn't look so good not like paint on canvas, then i changed the blend to overlay and it looked much better.I would like it to have a smoother transition so you don't notice the circles and no jumping.

I wanted to make a flash game,it's about some fish swiming in a tank.All the fishes swim randomly,i don't need any rotation,just left and right direction will be fine with me.But the result is their actions are really odd. how to make them swim just like real fishes?And there's also another problem.When the number of fishes increased to 50 or more,the framerate will drop rapidly.
Now I use Tweenlite to control the swiming action ,and it works very well.But the framerate still drops if i add more than 40 or 50 fishes to the tank.I think there must be a better way to do this.
Here's my code
public function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void{
var time:Number = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(xOffset,2)+Math.pow(yOffset,2))/speed;
TweenLite.to(this,time,{x:x+xOffset ,y:y+yOffset*0.5 ,ease:Quad.easeOut,onComplete:moveComplete});
}*/
xOffset and yOffset in the code are random numbers

I have a problem where the images look a little pixelated because they have been scaled down alot, just need a way to make everything appear smoother.
I need the game I'm making to look high quality and also work at different resolutions so when I made all the graphics I made them massive and same for the stage size in flash.
The stage size is 2000*1500 and it's being scaled down to 800*600 which is an exact ratio, I didn't expect to see pixelization when scaling the images DOWN, that's why I made them so large.
If there's no options for smoothing things out, then does anyone know the best option for swapping images at run-time? This way I can have pre-made images for all the most popular resolutions.

What's generally going to run smoother, result in lower file size, and/or drag less:
if (condition){move a clip from here to there and if it goes too far, bring it back;}
else (!condition){do nothing, let it sit;}
move a clip here or there, regardless of any condition, so it's always moving, and bring it back if it goes too far;

I have this RPG-like screen where you have a character walking through.. the forest or something.. and the thing is.. it's lagging.. LOTS..On that scene.. there are quite a lot of Tree graphics and grass graphics.. I've tested this and apparently graphics run a lot smoother than movieclips with bitmap caching on..Also.. My character has lots of different hair styles all put into one movieclip.. and i thought that by removing them all.. and just have a attachMovie() script to pull in the appropriate hairstyle clips.. it would go faster..but apparently it doesn't seem to of made much difference..what other ways can i reduce the lag on flash?

If I load a swf in FlashPlayer standalone, it will play nice and smooth. If I load the HTML it's embedded in (with SWFObject) in a browser it stutters like hell. If I use my browser to open the swf on its own, that runs nearly as smooth as in the standalone player.
That the standalone player runs smoother is understandable, since it then doesn't need to go through the browser layer. A slight performance decrease when adding the HTML DOM layer is also understandable, but in my case the difference is huge!
If I were to guess:
Standalone: 100% (benchmark)
SWF in browser: 90%
SWF in HTML in browser: 30%

Lets say we have a movieclip "Enemy" in the Flash library and a class "Enemy.as" is associated with it which listens to ENTER_FRAME event as follows,
public function Enemy():void

I'm trying to get smoother steps in checking the ProgressEvent when loading the image to the Loader.At this moment my eventrogressEvent checks the progress aprox twice within a second. Is there any way to make it check constantly (or more often), so the progres bar "grows" smoothly instead of "jumping"?

I'm using the tweener class but I'm not sure how to accomplish what this. What I'm after is to pan the object "img" to one side, than pan back, and repeat.[code]...
But what would be the best way to run the check on the first tween action, fire the second when the first it done, and repeat the whole thing when the second is done. Should this be a while loop? Or some kind of event listener?

I have a movie clip which is brought on to the stage by a tween function called introTween. After the introTween has finished, it has an eventhandler inside it which calls on 2 new tween functions to start. These are tweenX function which contains the myTweenX tween and tweenY function which contains the myTweenY tween. these functions loop round to keep the movie clip floating along the bottom of the stage. The movie clip can be dragged by the user. The problem I have is that when the user drags the movie clip during the introTween the dragIt function is called (see below) and when called its looking to stop the myTweenX and myTweenY tweens. However, because the introTween function hasn't finished, and thus hasn't called the tweenX and tweenY functions...then the dragIt function can't find myTweenX and myTweenY to stop(). how I would go about solving this problem? Is there some sort of IF condition I can put in the dragIt function which looks at whether the tweenX and tweenY functions have started or even the myTweenX and myTweenY tweens have started?

i've defined a Tween object within a function, and i want to control that tween from another function.
This is the basic way i have the code set up currently:
// Define the function with my tween:
function updateSlide()
{
[Code].....
Now i'm sure it's not working because it's not within the same function, but what would you do to make this work? Some sort of global variable or global function? I'm not used to working in AS2, or with programming in general

I have a number of cases where I have a tween happening in ActionScript, but I would like it to happen after a delay from the event that triggers it. At the moment I'm creating this delay by having a tween that does nothing (eg. an "_x" tween for which the start and end points are the same) and then using tween1.onMotionFinished = function(){to create the one I really want. Is there a way to create this delay more neatly?
