Staggered And Looping Movie Symbols
Sep 8, 2009
I've created 5 different movie symbols that move a graphic symbol across the screen at various speeds. I want to create a movie that will play on continuous loop with the graphics moving across the screen with each symbol being generated in staggered time intervals. What I want to avoid is having the stage clear as each loop completes and the next one begins. I've tried to stagger by entering the start times of the movie symbols by entering them at different frames on the timeline, but as soon as the last frame plays, the whole screen clears.

I used this tut to create a menu. [URL] And my question is; Can I make the slider to move after a movie clip symbols instead of button symbols? That way my menu would be animated.

I'm working through a book called Foundation Game Design with Flash, and I'm finding the Flash IDE confusing. I've been programming for several years, so working with AS3 directly is far easier than trying to understand symbols and nested symbols and the difference between graphics and movie clips and scoping issues and all that -- when tied into the IDE.
How many of you who are making games in AS3 also use the Flash IDE? Can anyone recommend a resource that is AS3 heavy and Flash IDE light? I don't care how much time I may or may not save by using things like the timeline, I just want to understand what I'm using.

I have an area where paragraphs of type slowly scroll up my screen. Every thing is working fine - however, if you look closely the type is scrolling pretty raggedly - as in choppy. It is subtle, but there. Just wondering the best way to scroll type - should I bitmap it into an image? Outline the type in illustrator? Or just bring it in? I have anti-aliased for animation checked - and have tried multiple options, but not seeing any huge differences.

I've just recently tried my hand at actionscript 3 and have come across a road block.How do I go about rendering the cubes (cube1) intermittently, ie. staggered loading. I need the cubes to load a split second from each other.Below is a snippet of what I have so far:
var rows:int = 5;
var cols:int = 3;
var spacery:int = 100;

Again, I'm having an issue with the final stages of my little drag and drop experiment.Here's the problem : I have an array of animals, all to be sorted into one of three boxes - Fits, Does Not Fit and Not SureNow if I place an animal in one of those three boxes, the name of the animal is supposed to be going into the correct place in a staggered array :
Actionscript Code:
var PassArray:Array = new Array(new Array(),new Array(),new Array());function letGo(event:MouseEvent):void { event.target.stopDrag(); event.target.x

I'm attempting to use CS4 (PC/Vista, if that matters) to create a SWF file that will basically act as a "library" of commonly used symbols. This SWF would be loaded at runtime by other SWFs, which could then use the symbols within it, including all art and code assets.

My SWF file plays properly, but if I open the file in After Effects the movie symbols don't play. Changing the movie symbols into graphic symbols works but then of course I lose my filters. I would export straight to MOV from Flash but that brings up so many other glitches. Basically I am looking for a good way to get video from flash.

I have two jpeg images that are converted to movie clip symbols. When attempting to scale one from zero out to infinity (zoom out look), I apply the classic tween and the image zooms out above the top of my document window instead of going straight out. Is there something I can troubleshoot to fix this? I belive the registration point on the symbol is in the center, but how can I confirm?

Should I use Movie Clip or Graphic Symbols for Character Animation? What do people who make TV shows use. If I'm not planning on manipulating any symbols with ActionScript and I'm not using a symbol that requires it's own time line like a walk cycle, is there any reason to use movie clips symbols? If I put my animation on the web will it download noticeably faster if I use graphic symbols instead of movie clip symbols?

I have 7 movie clip symbols which i would like to become visible using a timer.I would like to be able to make them appear one at a time, to a time of my choice after a 'start button' has been pressed.When the start button is pressed another movie clip already plays as a back ground.

I've made a movie which has symbols waiting to come onto my stage. When I watch it, all seems to be fine until I run a test. A random symbol sits in the top left corner not moving which isn't there when I watch it.
I've looked through all the layers and none of them are duplicated. When i do a test, this following message appears:WARNING: Multiple 3D objects on the same frame have the same instance name. 3D instance names must be unique. All but one of the instances will be renamed during export.

I've been going over several tutorials and whatnot and I'm confused on the point of movie clip symbols and motion tweens. To me using the other tweens and symbols are "easier". Can someone explain to me why they're so beneficial to have been added to CS4/CS5? Except I understand that movie clip symbols can be adjusted using the 3D tools but is that the only difference?

I have created a looping movie clip which I want playing in the background of my main movie which has multiple scenes. Obviously I cant drop it on the timeline in each scene as then when it skips scenes the movie reloads and there is a jerk on the screen. Is there a piece of actionscript that I can point to my SWF and just have it looping throughout the whole movie?

I'm not sure when it started happening, but I believe after the update my movie keeps looping if I test the movie. This never happened before. I'm not sure what went wrong? I never changed my action script or anything. What can be my problem?
and my stop(); doesn't work

The movie is 12 frames long .I have an action placed in frame no. 11 which says :
if(_framesloaded = 12) {
gotoAndStop(12);
}else{
gotoAndPlay(10);
}
This means that if the movie is not loaded , it will loop between 10 and 11.I have a movie clip on frame no. 10 and frame 11 is empty, this means that , the movie clip (a square ) should blink .Also , the movie when its loaded stops at 11 rather than going to stop at frame no 12 as per the actionscript .

I am having a problem with a looping set of movie clips. The first pass, works as expected, but the second pass only shows the static (original) movieclip that all others were duplicated from.
myArrayXML.load("params.xml");
...bunch of code... this works fine the images come in from xml and do get loaded.
dup_insert = _root.magazine_env.duplicateMovieClip("Mag_insert_ "+i, getNextHighestDepth());
dup_insert.mag_insert.magazine_image.loadMovie(myA rray[i]);
--- however, the movieclip which calls the duplicated movie ---
play();
var myArray = _root.myArray;
var index:Number = this._name.split("_")[1].valueOf();[code].....
Works as long as it passes through the array one time. Once the array starts over and is calling for Mag_insert_1 it presents the original movie clip (everytime it's called). The trace shows the that the name is correctly incrementing, but it still does not show the proper image.Here is a url http:[url].....after the "soul food" image passes by it gets stuck on that image.I want to know what I need to do to get this to work (as in continuously loop).

I have a .flv movie file that I purchased from Istockphoto.com. I have placed it in my Flash CS3 file, and it works fine. However, once it plays, it loops back to the beginning, and I would prefer to loop it at the last 5 seconds of frames, so that it doesn't replay the entire video. Can this be done with Flash actionscripting or do I need to somehow do it in a video editor? Which wouldn't be ideal, as it would make a much larger file size.

I created a 30 second movie clip. I just want it to stop and display the last frame on the website.
How do I program AS3 to tell it to stop on the last frame and not loop? I don't want it to be blank though, I want the last frame to be visable.

I have been working on looping movies using cs3, but, I can't get it to work on a movie that was made using ASCS2, because of other coding in there, I assume. I am copying and pasting my code, exactly the way I have been using it, but it gets errors. Does anyone know the best way to create a loop in AS 2 so that the timeline repeats 3 times and stops.

I have set up a movie in which i have imported the music. the movie is about 1 min long and music about 3 min. I have imported the music--works great I have set up a mute/unmute button--works great But I want the movie to loop, but not the music. The movie loops naturally at frame 1, but the music starts again while playing the the music from the first loop.

I have a main movie on my site with buttons that display linked movies in the right half of that main movie. One of the movies is the kind that I only want to play through once, then stop. In the FLA file of that linked movie I've put a stop(); action in the final frame, and when played alone it stops accordingly. But when it plays as a linked movie, it continues to loop. What can I do about this? The button script on the movie doing the importing is:
on (press) {gotoAndStop("flash_dev");
flash_mc.loadMovie("cubeintro.swf");
clearInterval(_root.myInterval); }

I have the following code
stop();
positions = [];

It basicly loads some pictures into movie clip holders and they stream horizontally across the bottom of a page.My problem is i cannot get them to continuously loop, at the moment they just cross the screen once then stop.
