Storing Multiple Animation Files?

Aug 19, 2009

I want to have a TV screen and hundreds of (small) flash animations load up in the 'TV'. I'm assuming I'm going to have to use Actionscript, so I'm looking into that right now. However, what would be the best way to organise this? Each "TV" will have a different set of "Channels". Do I create each 'channel' and save them as seperate SWF files, or is it possible to have them all in one main file. I can then flick through each 'channel', which essentially unloads the current animation and loads the next one

ActionScript 2.0 :: Storing Vars Over Life Of Animation?

Dec 11, 2009

So I have a movieclip which has a bunch of children in it. They are each a bodypart of the movieclip(which represents a guy). He has a hand child which he has 2 copies of one for left and right. They both come from the same hand library item. Now here is the challenge. There is a lot of pre-existing animation data in this format so I need to work within these confines.

What I want to do is be able to tell on a given frame which hand is the left and which is the right. It doesnt matter which is called which even, I just need to give each a unique identifier. The problem is it appears if i set a variable in frame one on the hand object, in frame 2 a new hand is made and that variable is lost. So I can't seem to track it by just putting a variable on each hand with a name like hand1, and hand2.

Is there any way to track something like this across many frames? The overall goal is to output the x,y and rotation for each body part for each frame and be able to tell what body part it is (hand1 vs hand2)

Actionscript 3 :: Storing Files Temporarily And Loading Them Again Without Air?

Dec 15, 2011

I am loading files (or rather, pictures) in my Flex application from a server, technically from a database. I display some of them at a time, think of it like an image preview, and quite often I display the same image again. But I don't want to re-download the same file time and time again, so I would like to store it locally, and load it from there if it is available (or download it if necessary). I'm quite happy if the files can be stored in some temporary folder in AppData/iDontCare and get deleted on application restart.

File.applicationStorageDirectory would fit the bill, but only exists in Air.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Storing Multiple BitmapData Instances

Aug 3, 2009

I have a question about optimum resource management. So I am pondering what would be the most efficient way of storing a LARGE number of BitmapData instances in a SWF. The BitmapDatas would be generated at runtime. Only a minority of the BitmapData instances would be on screen at any one time. So far I've conceived three routes; Option one (simply store them in an array - this is then stored in the RAM right?)

ActionScript Code:
var array:Array = new Array();
var bitmapData1:BitmapData = new Bitmapdata();
var bitmapData2:BitmapData = new Bitmapdata();
array.push(bitmapData1);
array.push(bitmapData2);

ActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX04] Storing Multiple _x At Runtime?

Jan 11, 2006

i am developing a photogallery with picts of different width.there's nothing with it,but i am trying to make an element which is more of a design nature.So i have an invisible mc/say "bbb" which is duplicated each time a new photo is loaded and its _x depends on the photos _width and the distance between the photo and the end of the screen regulates how many times "bbb" is duplicated.So on every new photo i got /possibly/ diferent number of instances with diferent _x.Still no poblem.But i want to put an bbb_dups.onRollOver=func(){if (this._x=curr_x){ tween(this._x+30)}else if (this._x=curr_x+30){ tween(backto curr._x)} so i need somehow to store each instances curr._x after the duplication which i dont know how.i've tried with an array but it doesn't seem to work for all the instances.

Professional :: Importing Transparent PNG Files From PS CS5 To Flash CS5 For Animation?

Apr 25, 2011

Im using PS CS5 to build the parts of animation i am making in Flash CS5. Im not using PS for the animation as the GIF quality is horrendous, and also rotating layers for animation is a no go!Anyway, im saving the individual layers in (Save for Web) as PNG-24 files with transparency. Then importing them 'To Stage' in Flash. That side is all good.
When ive made the animation in Flash and go to 'Publish Preview' there is a 'background' there. Also there is a border around the files on the stage. This appears to be the size of the 'background' in the animation. Transparency is set in the GIF settings.

[cs4] Multiple Instances Of Text With Animation

Dec 25, 2009

I am trying to create several texts with animation on mouseover (basically animated menu).

Steps followed: created text, converted to movie clip (m_text), put a stop() in first frame added animation movie clip in second frame, which is played on mouseover (added onrollover function AS2.0)

It works fine. Now I tried to create multiple instances of this m_text, tried to change the text. But it changes in all instances.

If I try to create multiple instances of text only, then I will have to repeat the procedure of adding frames, adding animation clip, add AS for mouseover etc for each of them.

All I am trying to do is create one text with animation on mouseover, copy paste it several times and change only the text for each of them.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Sync Multiple SoundChannels And Animation?

Oct 26, 2009

I'm trying to synchronize 5 mp3 (128kbs 44hz stereo), each one in a different SoundChannel, and some animation. I've red a lot about the variable delay of the soundChannel, and how the "position" property return where the soundchannel should be, and not where it actually is. But I didn't find any real solution to these issues.

For the moment what i'm doing :

- load the 5 mp3 in their soundChannel

- start the soundChannels

- put a timer to check the first soundChannel position to change the animation

I've tryed to solve the delay between the soundchannels by resynchronizing them after a few seconds to the first soundchannel position, but it's only getting worse.

I'm using Flash CS4 / AS3 but I can easily go back to AS2 if needed. And I can embed the mp3 in the swf or using any other audio format.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Making Animation Of Someone Breathing With Multiple Layers

Mar 23, 2009

I'm basically making a animation of someone breathing, with multiple layers. What I want to happen when a user clicks the animation is for it to switch to the next layer seamlessly (skin>muscles>skeleton). Each layer has the same 60 frames. For example, if the skin layer's currentframe was '37' i'd want the muscle layer to start at '38' when clicked.Below is some of the code I already have. I can trace the currentframe of the original mc, however the attached movieclip refuses to gotoAndPlay to that number?[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Importing Multiple Images To Form Animation

Nov 25, 2009

Basically I have 51 separate static images that I need to import into Flash and then use to form an animation. I don't want to simply make them into a gif unless I can manually control the animation (the images essentially represent a 'health bar' in a game, so I need to be able to control what is shown based on the amount of 'health' the player has). I have been told that there is an easy way to do this in Flash, but the person I was talking to wasn't sure how to go about it.

Play Multiple .swf Files One After Another?

Oct 6, 2006

I have two flash files that I would like to play back to back in the same location on my site. I would like one to play, and then when it's done, I want the other to play in its location.

I googled around and read up on the loadmovie variable, which I thought that is what I needed, but it isn't working.

To start out, what I did was create a new flash file, then I inserted an image into the timeline on its own layer, converted it to a movie clip (named pic_mc), did a fadeout effect on that image, then I created a new layer, and on the frame directly after the image, I put the following:

Code:

loadMovie("/images/preferred-reseller-hosting-0001.swf", "pic_mc")

I then ran a test (ctrl+enter) and all I see is the fade out image, and not the other flash movie. I even uploaded the .swf to my site and tested it there in a real world situation, and it didn't work. It just fades the image out and restarts the movie.
