i am totally new to flash and want to ask Is it possible to create complete flash animations in .net platoform with C# by using the flash APIs. Can anyone explain how it is done(which apis tools needed) and provide/link to some of the examples.
View 3 RepliesIs there any Actionscript-C# API/Libraries available so that i can create a flash file via my C# program and manipulates the content of that (Ex : Add a motion tween animation to it). I have seen something similar to this in adwords.google.com (to create promotions/ads)
View 1 RepliesI'm creating an animated background/flash animation, in short I have several tweened pieces all moving/swinging around and I want them all to loop at the end of their individual loops. Each piece is on its own layer) I have been using gotoAndPlay(2); (I'm using a preloader so frame 2 is the start). The problem is (If I'm correct here) is the first layer to reach the end runs the "go to and play" resetting everything!. I want each layer to act independantly. Is there a different version of gotoAndPlay(2); that will work or am I looking at things like nested animations/importing individual fla's ect (all of which goes over my head).
View 4 RepliesI am a web designer and I do like to hand code using jquery however, I think it would be much faster to use gui applications like flash to create animations especially on the fly as well as support for writing and editing source code.
View 1 RepliesI need to create animations fron a set of jpegs. I can layer selections in photoshop; create symbols in Flash, although When I open a multi-layer psd in FL, don't always get multi-layers in FL. More importantly, what graphic/symbol formats are required for the typical animation techniques (eg, different tweens, bones, puppet).
View 1 RepliesI would like to be able to create a set of standard text animations for different length bulleted lists, headings etc and then feed these animations (probably with xml?) to create unique mc's.

View 3 RepliesIve read the transitions tutorial and understand how that works, however, the site that I am building uses actionscript for its animation rather than timeline effects (for the most part). creating smooth transitions between external swf when the animations are done in actionscript?
Right now in my external .swf I have two frames, the first frame is the intro the second is the outro. The only difference between the two frames is the actionscript is reversed from fading in to fading out (etc.) on the second. There is no midframe per say, it just stops on the first frame because there is a stop(); on it. When the user clicks out of that section it just moves and plays the second frame. This works, however I fear that that method will get me into trouble later on. Is there a better way of doing this?
anywhoo i have minimal actionscript training tho i know a bit... im trying to make an Item system were i make an object like a key or a helmet... and if i collide with it it disapears. and i get the item, then somewhere put _root.playerMC.standing.gotoAndPlay ("item"); .. maybe in the item i dunno..
so basically i set my characters up like playerMC then in that animation i have a body head arms and legs.. and in those i have different items equipped on each body part on each frame how should i set this up!!!.. i cant call those items deep in the animation the farthest i can go is like Playermc.gotoandplay ("walk") when i try to do like.. playermc.walking.head.gotoandplay ("item") it doesnt work..
I just started to make flash animations using Adobe Flash CS4, but there's something I just don't understand. To create an animated object, I know I have to create a new movie clip symbol, animate it, and then put it in the main scene. But when I drag the symbol from the library to the main scene, only the first frame of the animation is copied! How can I copy the entire animation of a movie clip symbol to the main scene?

Im developing an interactive in wich I use many animations either frame-by-frame (image-by-image) or with an embedded flv in the timeline and I have noticed that all of them don't play smoothly when first played, but once the animation has occured once they play the way its supposed to be. Im assuming is because once played an animation gets into the machine cache or something, so I wanna know if there is any way to force an animation to get into the display cache before is played.

View 3 RepliesWhat is the best way to convert an animation created in Flash to a .mov file. I've tried the export movie command in the file menu, changing various settings in the publish settings in Flash and and in the Quicktime options boxes. But the resulting .mov file has all kinds of fragments and artifacts. Has anybody had any luck creating animations in Flash and then converting them into a format that can be assemble in iMovie?
View 7 RepliesI'm fairly new to Flash and I'm having a bit of trouble. I've created two animations. One's a bouncing text animation and the other animation is a series of twinkling stars. I've added a key frame stop to keep the bounching text from looping, but I want the twinkling star animation to continue to loop. Is there any way to have one animation stop and the other loop?
View 3 RepliesI know that all the cool animations are created in Flash (the program) unfortunately, I am not very good with it. However I like flash builder, because you can use a markup language and because it is better optimized for large projects.
Can you create animations that are as good in flash builder?
I'm working on some generative art animations using Flash ActionScript which appear much smoother at a frame rate of 72 FPS compared to 30 FPS or lower rates.On a Intel Pentium E2200 Dual CPU @ 2.20 Ghz, Flash Player hardly uses more than 9% during the animations at 72 FPS. The animations are meant to run for a quite short period of time (less than 10 seconds each).Is it safe to use this frame rate?

View 1 RepliesIve just started messing around with flash cs5 and trying to make a simple app for the ipad and have it eventually on the app store. The thing that has me concerned is that the animations seem to be struggling on the ipad.
im running it at 24 fps and there is zero physics and very simple AS3 for touch to stop animations. But the animations are running so slowly and the sound layer is no longer in sync with the animation.
Does anyone have any experience with this that can advise me on what the issue may be? why would a simple flash cs5 animation struggle as an ipad app? would the file type of the sound files be an issue?
I'm developing a flash game and I hired a graphic designer to make it look more professional. The problem is that I don't know if I should use timelime animations or sprite sheets.Here is an example of his graphics:[url]...
How should I proceed for better performance? Also, if I just split the sprite sheets in many images, put them on an array and keep using add/removeChild() on them will it work properly when talking about performance?
I've a MovieClip symbol with 5 frames (let's call it the main MovieClip), each frame holds a different MovieClip symbol and each of those symbols has a small motion in them. If let's say I move to the 3rd frame in the main MovieClip: object.gotoAndStop(3);Then symbol's small motion animation, which frame 3 holds, automatically starts as I saw. So I'm thinking here do the other frames (1, 2, 4 and 5), which are not visible on stage though, are stopped and I don't need to worry about stopping each of them myself (like attaching code to each 1st frame to call .stop()) ?Because if I would now call right away object.gotoAndStop(1); it would start that frame's animation right away.
View 1 RepliesThese stories are already made in flash. My problem is how to add to the storys That app. Initially one of the approaches was to create an app in Coco2D and make the animations in this language (converting the animations in pictures). However due to possess many animations and sounds, this process is very complicated Thus, I asked opinions on what approach should I do to solve this problem.
View 1 RepliesI've been having a strange problem with Flash 9. This morning I opened my project and at some point, some animations became "corrupted". The tweens I had flicked and didn't work properly. After some investigation, I discovered that changing something within those animations "reset them" correctly and back to fully fonctionnal. Does anyone know why this problem would occur and what I can do to resolve it, or better yet to avoid it?

View 6 RepliesI have been seeking for months to try to put my flash animations in myspace blog but I haven't succeeded in doing that. I have tried to put the code source of the html document but it doesn't work . When I saw the animations pre-maded in websites for myspace , it's exactly the same code as I have saw in the code source of my html page. Why it doesn't work? I have tried to convert to anothers format, to put them in youtube , but it wasn't very good.
I have tried a files hosting where I put swf files format and I put the links , but myspace doesn't accept this kind of links , they say that it brings spams. I have just think about it and I haven't done it yet. If I convert swf files into flv files and I put the correct video code , Will it works? I read that myspace doesn't accept the flash animations but it's not true because there are a lot of flash animations to put in that.
