Actionscript 3 :: Play A Library Item With Four Keyframes As A Single Animation?
Jan 8, 2010
I'm using AS3, and have one simple layer with 4 keyframes If I import it to another fla file as a library item, it keeps showing me all keyframes, I don't want that I want it to show me the whole animation.
Like, if I have an animation of me swinging a baseball bat, I don't want to see all the keyframes seperately imported into the library, but I want it to be all in one piece, so that when I click play it plays all keyframes.
Is there any way I can determine why an animation in a "Graphics" library object of 10 frames length does not play if the main time line has only 1 frame? When the same item is changed to "MovieClip", it plays fine, regardless of the number of frames!
Is there some basic AS3 code to have, when the swf loads, a single video play from a collection of videos in an array? And can said code also apply to sound without video?I just found out the tutorial I was using to randomize doesn't work with audio - as it just plays everything at once - you might 'see' one video - but you hear all them. So from what I am reading, I need to us an array (that seems simple enough), but I don't want to play all the clips - I want it to randomly select and play one. Not sure exactly how I set up the video playback area (so the video plays where I want, at the size I want).Also, I have other pages that are just audio - does audio need some sort of player or something for this?
Am wondering the best way to do this. I have 4 menu items, each time one of them is pressed an animation plays BEFORE it goes to the selected frame label. But I only want to have one animation on the timeline. IS there a way to do it so Flash knows what button is pressed and after the animation plays the correct frame label? Otherwise I guess I could have 4 of the same animation before each frame label just seems wrong to do it that way... I'm sure I can do it with As somehow...
I'm trying to play a swf animation that is already in the library. When I try to, it only seems to play the first frame. The process I go through is import to library, select the swf I want, make it a movieclip, assign that swf a class name and then in the code I say:
var swfAnimation:swfClass = new swfClass(); addChild(swfAnimation);
Also, I've tried loading it in externally and it works perfectly. However, all the assets must be contained in one swf, because I am making a game that will be submitted to sites that only accept a single swf.
I feel like this should be pretty straightforward, but I can't figure out a way to easily move a single keyframe within a motion tween to adjust timing. I can't even figure out how to delete a single keyframe, for that matter. Everything I try ends up deleting all the keyframes within the tween or the entire tween.
is there some way to resize all the animation, all the symbols in all keyframes proportionally? I did all the animation, but now I realize that´s too large on the stage.
I have an animated item on the main stage that was imported as a swf but it needed to be edited to fit the stage. I successfully edited each frame and the whole movie is running exactly as I'd pictured it. However, I was reading somewhere that to optimize the movie, keyframes and bitmaps and graphics take up more space and that it would be better to convert an animation to a movie clip. I had to edit each frame of my swf, so right now it's in 15 different key frames When I imported them, Flash turned each frame into a bitmap and then when I edited them for size they became graphics attached to those bitmaps, each as its own keyframe.
I have an swf file on the homepage that is the intro followed a menu. When the user types the URL for the home page from an outside site, I need the entire flash file to play from frame 1, but if you have already seen it and then clicked around to subpages within the site and then want to go back to the home page , I want the movieclip to start from a specified keyframe.
i'm working with don't supply me with any symbol/symbols that mean "and" I know || is for "or", ! is "isn't", but if I want to say something like:
if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.LEFT || event.keyCode == Keyboard.DOWN) { }
except instead of ||, I'm looking for a symbol that means "and" I have 8 renders of a walk cycle in 8 different directions. (stored on 8 different movieclips within the main movieclip.) I want to try making an "if" statement that plays the diagonal animations when 2 arrowkeys are pressed at once.
I am new to flash and creating a file with a series of 25 images. I have each image on its own keyframe in the stage1 and I have buttons for: play_btn, stop_btn, next_btn, prev_btn My next and prev buttons work ie...
[Code]...
but I am unable to get any AS3 code to work as a Mouse.Click to play the series of keyframes. Every time I try to add a gotoAndPlay to the play_btn my file just starts a continuous loop.
I am having a problem parsing xml data, I know how to get it into as3, and that is working pretty well after following a brilliant tutorial on kirupa: [URL]
But I am having a problem tracing the data that I want. Seemingly it is connecting to the database and is working in that sense but when I try to trace data I am getting a couple problems.
The first is that I need to somehow specify a value of a single item to get the rest of the data. Here is the xml:
XML Code <user> <name>{$line["name"]}</name> <id>{$line["id"]}</id>";
I'm creating a drag and drop Flash activity where there is 1 target and multiple draggable items. In my case I have 4 apples and I want to be able to put all apples into the same basket. I can get the draggable item into one target but i cannot get multiple draggable items into one single target.[code]
I've been quite frustrated over a very simple flash program I have, where I try to use code to add an item from the library to the stage. I've attached the .fla file. The errors I'm getting are: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: playerShip. 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method playerShip.
I'm new to flash and I'm working on an animation project for my class. I decided to do half of it as single cell animation and half of it using tweens and whatnot. The parts that are single celled are moving WAY to fast and are throwing off the flow with my tweens. It's a requirement of the project to have atleast 20 fps and I don't have enough time to dedicate to drawing tons of more cells. For example, I have one animation made up of 40 frames and it needs to be stretched to about 100 frames. I've tried copying all of the cells into a movie clip and attaching a stop(); method at the final frame in the movie clip, then importing that into my movie and stretching it to the length i need, but it just runs at the normal animation rate and then stops until the timeline gets to where it's time for the next event or scene to take place. It sort of looks like i need to find a way to control the fps of my movie clip independently of the entire movie, but how would i go about that?
I understand how to preload a loading SWF, and I understand how to preload from one frame then go to the next, so please don't post about doing those.My question is can you preload a symbol from the library and keep all code and content in one frame? I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find any tutorials to do this.
I am trying to write an AS3 flash app I made in AS2, and I can't figure out how to add an MC from the library onto the stage. In AS3 I would just give the MC a random class name and then use:[code]but in AS2 this throws the error: the class or interface 'class' could not be loaded.
I'm trying to do singleton movieclip from library, but can't get it work, how should I proceed?[code]1136: Incorrect number of arguments.Expected 1.And it is refering to the MyMovieClip.as file, to the line where I have "_myMovie = new MyMovie();".
I've created a flash banner for my website. This banner starts with an animation of text and the logo fading into frame.What I would like to do, once the introduction animation has played through, is periodically have the logo pulsate.I'd like to do this without obviously looping the entire animation. How would I set it to just loop a single movie in my scene.
i want to apply some animation (like fly from left) to all the character of paragraph text.for this, i have created a movie clip with only one character (suppose "A") and done some animation like first it flies from left then it rotates and gets fade off and on.Now i have a paragraph in another movie clip and of course it contains lots of characters (more than 200) so it is not possible to apply same animation to all the characters individually making layers.
I built a website for our company, but because my boss kept adding stuff as I was building, the navigation-function became a total mess. On top of that, the need has risen to make the site multi-lingual, and I would like to get the back-button and deep-linking to work properly.So, I decided to rewrite the navigation-function using the exanimo stateManager. The site structure basically has two levels: Six main sections (L1), most of which have subsections (L2). All these "pages" are library items that get attached to a holder MC (L0). So for instance, the first page is built by attaching "home_NL" to L0 and calling it L1, and then attaching "home_welkom_NL" to L1 and calling it L2.
This all works fine, until I've clicked Voices . If I click a section after that, the L0 gets faded out, but L1 is not removed. And since the function then tries to attach a new library item as L1 and will not continue until it is loaded, navigation simply hangs.
Unfortunately luister_NL, which is loaded when you click Voices, is a fairly complex movie clip (by my standards, at least). It allows the visitor to listen to samples of our voice-talents based on language, style and gender. These can also be selected and ordered through a form.Something in this movie clip is preventing Flash from removing it from the stage, but I cant figure out what.
I have a certain set of motion twains that I've successfuly completed, they constantly loop right now (default), and is saved in the SWF file.I'd like to take that finished looping animation, and insert it within another animation (a) that can be played with a play button, and stopped/resetted with a stop button.How do I insert the completed looping animation into the main animation? And is there something special I have to do in the actionscript of the start and stop buttons so that the "inner" looping animation will start and stop with the "outer" main animation?
