My question is can this site's [URL]..flash animation architecture/ interactive infographic be made or adapted into something more accessible like an app?
What would it take do to something like this. I need help wrapping my head around a project like this.
I am making a signature, which is a Interactive drawing board! For and example download the :

What I want to be able to do is let other users draw an image on my sig and then be able to save and alter over my orignal sig. And then once my the page is refresh or some-else looks at my sig it will have the image over my sig

I'm currently implementing an 'interactive map', and I want the mouse cursor to change (from one to, two, to three arrows custom-made arrows), when the user 'mouses over' certain parts of the map. For example, there is currently 4 x3 grid on the map and when the user mouses over to each of the four corners, the cursor will change to three arrows (which have already been designed), and when the cursor mouses over the grid on the 8th grid on the right, the cursor will change to two arrows..... and so on.

I need to create flash interactive animation for one one of my regular clients, which should look and work similar to example bellow: Link This is how my clients product (shirt) should look like and what sections should be editable: [URL] Basically it should work this way:
1. End user chooses some element of shirt which he would like to edit (for example collar)
2. When he clicks on that element, popup windows shows offering two main options: to change color and graphic (texture or pattern), same as on nike store customize example
3. After user changes one section (collar) he goes to other section (lets say sleeve) and so on
4. User should be able to zoom in or zoom out that shirt and also if it is possible to rotate it in 4-5 positions
5. At the end it should be able to save that work (and load it if he wants to later ) and be able to print it.
I have made many animations, games, banners and similar using Macromedia Flash MX and Adobe Flash so I am not a flash newbie but this is a first time I am dealing with this type of work.I know that there is no step by step tutorial for this kind of custom interactive animation. how to create these three first steps (1. 2. 3). Regarding steps (4.) and (5.) I think I could realize it (zoom in, zoom out, rotate movieclip, save in database and print screen), because I had some previous experience regarding this part.
I would like to build a video conferencing app that supports H.264. Is there a way to use Flash to do that? I understand that Flash natively supports the Sorensen Spark video codec and that you need to use Flash Live Encoder 3 for H.264 encoding. I can't seem to find any documentation that shows me how to use FLE3 with ActionScript.
View 3 RepliesI'm building an interactive flash application that will be used on a projector and projected onto a floor. The flash application will be showing a pool of water that when the cursor moves it will disturb the water, this much I have working fine so far.What I want to do however is add two things:
1) Display messages within the pool either by using a text file as a flat-file database or by typing them into a web page form and then submitting them in real-time to the flash app. Looking for ways of doing both (examples would be awesome)
2) Instead of using the cursor I'm looking to track a persons movements using a camera, is there any good software/plugins I could use to help with this?
I am trying to make an interactive flash application that works by detecting mouse overs and clicks on various buttons/movie clips and then moves to the appropriate part of the time line. But I am having an issue when I use more than one addEventListener in any one frame. I have attached the code for one such frame below. When I comment out the addEventListner and the other code relating to the followBall function this works fine and directs the user to frame Inlet_Valve_Open_Frame but now only the followBall function is working and when i try to click on the Inlet_Valve_Button movie clip nothing happens.
I have never read all the help files on the adobe flash CS3 as i don't have time and i have built this code up based on examples i have found online. I wanted to include my fla file but it's to big 6Mb. But i have attached the swf so you have an idea what i am doing.
Code: Select allstop();
//1.
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,followBall);

The problem:
If I use Flash I won't be able to display any information on iOS devices BUT i will be able to perform animations if I want to feed in in realtime.
If I use HTML5 I won't be able to display it on any IE, and animations will be slow...

I think that I can use Flash/Flex or JavaScript/SVG/VML for this purpose. Disadvantage of Flash is that user must have plugin. Minus of JS/SVG/VML is that there aren't such powerfull developing tools as in Flash case, but if we use some library (url...) application won't require flash plug-in.

View 4 RepliesI am creating an interactive animation of a cat you can stroke, rub, poke etc. I have implemented some basic functions in an attempt to recognize the different gestures, I am using the mouse down and mouse up events to track the duration and distance of the click.
My problem with this is that the 'distance' is measured from the start point and end point of the click, so if it ends near where it started you won't be able to tell how many times the click has 'rubbed' back and forth. Is there anyway to track the distance based on the full path of the click?

I am trying to create an interactive animation which allows the user to click on objects which then starts a new animation and i'm having trouble with removing the old animation movieclip and adding the new one my code is this:
stop();
var snake:Loader = new Loader();
var box:Loader = new Loader();
var snake2:Loader = new Loader();
[code]....
(its after the box is clicked I want the snake animation to be removed and the 2nd snake animation to be added)now I reckon I dont need the boolean.
Anyone let me know wether if pixel calculations are made swf files and when they r made to fullscreen wether they will remain the same in any monitor size?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a simple interactive animation for a website that consists of three rollover areas on a page. When you mouse over an area, a bit of explanatory text is revealed by animating a mask over some text. The text is left displayed until a mouseover of a different area occurs.Let's call the three mouseover targets A, B, and C.A MOUSE_OVER event listener is registered for all three targets. In the event handler for each, I'm following a pattern like this:
Code:
A.transform.colorTransform = highlighted;
B.transform.colorTransform = notHighlighted;

I created a motion preset of a 3D text animation that made the text swing back and forth like a gate with the hinge on the far left side. However, when I apply the motion preset to other text, the text moves to a new location and the text swings closer to the center than the far left side. Moving the text only creates a travel path that further complicates matters.
what am I doing wrong with the motion preset? How can I save something into a preset and apply it to other things and have the animation work the way it was designed?

View 0 RepliesSo i am building a site for a client, and in it i have incorporated an automatically cross-fading background made of large photos.Wheneve they cross fade programatically my CPU gets WORKED!
I am using
Code:
if (this.photo1.imageholder1._alpha<100-this.fadeSpeed) {
this.photo1.imageholder1._alpha += this.fadeSpeed;
}
as the fading command. Is it just a characteristic of flash that it HATES to do ALPHA changes?
i have a mobile application that i am attempting to use to load an interactive .swf file. At first, i was just going to use the .mxml applications from my other project file in flex, but they're for desktop apps and running on Flex 3.6, and Mobile apps can't be built on less than 4.5 :P
so, i figured i'd export the first project to a .swf, and load it in my mobile application, but nothing i do will get it to show up. anyone know a solution?

I'm not 100% sure thats the problem, but It seems so. One other thing it could be, is maybe the screen doesnt update untill an event listener has completely finished?
Anyway here is my problem: My app does some pretty heavy calculations when the user clicks on a certain button. From testing, the calculation can take up to 3 seconds to complete. What I want to happen is, as soon as the user clicks the button, a "please wait" appears in the middle of the screen. 3 seconds later, after the calculations have completed, the "please wait" sprite disappears again.
However I cant seem to make that happen. Right now, when the user clicks the button, the please wait sprite does not show up at all. Using trace statements I'm pretty sure whats actually happening is, after the 3 seconds of calculations, the please wait sprite is set to visible and then invisible at essentially the same time, so you dont actually get to see it on screen.
Heres the code:
Code:
private function mouseDownListener(e:MouseEvent):void {
pleaseWaitSprite.visible = true;
trace("now visible");
[code]....
The trace statements "now visible" and "now invisible" show up at exactly the same time in the output window, even though there is 3 seconds of calculations between them. I guess the same thing is happening with the visible code.
Ive tried e.updateAfterEvent() but not surprisingly that didnt help. I think I need something more like e.updateDuringEvent() ... ?
I'm coding games that come with the graphics done. Unfortunately the designer has some bad practices, such as not using Sprite symbols - never. And the files have dozens (even hundreds) of symbols in the library, very few of them with any animation. I would like to re-brand such symbols as Sprite to save some CPU (and maybe even kB), but my graphics-related skills are very low. Where should I start? Check and convert the symbols at authoring time or it's possible to do this at runtime? Can I effectively convert a MovieClip to Sprite (I'm guessing casting to sprite won't help much) or another light image type?
