I've recently started using Flash in CS4 and finished up a short cycle and exported it as a .mov to find it had clipped the last two frames, Does anyon know why? Or how to stop it from clipping my work?

While working on a project involving a mask layer and artwork layer the tutorial that explained the procedure said to press F6 to add a new keyframe to the timeline. While on the current frame, the tutor was hitting F6 and a new frame with a keyframe was produced. I need to click on the next frame then hit F6 to make the keyframe. The project is to make a vine look like it is growing and involves making lots of subsequent keyframes in this manner. The tutor breezed through making one keyframe after another - I have to physically advance to the next keyframe THEN hit F6.This really slows things down.
View 3 RepliesI'm used to using the if else shorthand:
var = (if statement) ? 'something' : 'something else';
Are there any other short hand methods available?
Im working on a small drag and drop project and for the life of me I cant seem to work out how to get my movie to delay before it goes to the next frame.
Basically when a clip is dropped onto the target I need a short delay of about 5 seconds before going to frame 2.
I know that I need to set a variable but cant work out how to utilise it [code]...
This is what Have done but will take up a lot of lines
Code:
check.onRollOver = function(){
_root.check.gotoAndStop(2);

I'm trying to take into account the Garbage Collector (GC), so I decide to optimize this code:[code]For instance, is it useful to put "xmlOne = null" in every iteration? I'm checking with the Flashdevelop's profiler, but I don't see the difference.maybe, I can also reuse the item object rather than creating it every time, right?

View 2 RepliesSo I'm making my own networking protocol for a online game, to save space each message (sent over TCP) is given a ID which is a short, 2 bytes, all messages sent from the server to the client and vice versa are strings, how can I convert a short to a string in java in just 2 bytes (characters)? I want to be able to convert a short int into 2 characters, so that I can send the short over the network in a string format in just 2 bytes and decode it back into a short on the other side (in actionscript 3). A character can hold 256 possible values right? So 256*256=65,536 which is the size of a unsigned short int!
Here's what I've got so far:
public static String toCode(int c){
if(c <= 255 ){
return Character.toString((char)c);
}else{
return null;
}}
public static int fromCode(String c){
return ((int)c.charAt(0));//Return the character code of the send string, 1 char only
}
This can turn a int into a single character which can be sent over the network, now I just need to have it use 2 characters and it can do up to a short.
how to create a short video to play before the user clicks on a video to watch. Kinda like a short advertisement (for our department) when the viewer wants to watch one of our football games.
With the help of another user here, I was able to get a video player to work using an xml list containing all of the video file names, once the title is clicked in the .swf file the player plays that video file.
xml file
Code:
<root>
<video>
<filename>UA029_Fb_1929_WA.flv</filename>
<title> WSU VS UW 1929</title>

so what I am trying to achieve is to have a short clip play every time a person wants to watch a video.
Also, Is there a way to create some type of text box in the swf player that will display all the metadata (game, year, score etc.) in that box?

View 6 RepliesI have a long video of 50 minutes duration..
I want only show a segment for that video, for example I want to start from minute 15 until minute 16, Only shows a minute for that video, but, I want to see that video as a complete short video of 1 minute duration.
I'm currently trying to implement a short video (10 seconds, looping) in a web page. Initially, we tried using HTML5 Video tag with .mov (and H.264 as video codec inside). The file size was a couple MB, but the servers we're using were at 99% CPU usage - which is way too high because they're stacked on top of one another and they could burn up if left at that pace for too long.
My question is simply: what is a good way to display a short 10 second looping video inside a web page that limits CPU usage and will keep a descent frame rate? We're exploring the option of good ol' Flash (SWF) files, but wanted to get some input.
I have a short animation that I want to pause for 5 seconds and then play again. Now I am using acionScript 2 to get this done.
Here is the code.
stop();
function triggerNext () {
var z = setInterval (changeAd, 15000);
}function startAgain(){
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
triggerNext()
Now this works the first 2 times. But when the third time rolls around it seems to start and the start again. This progressively gets worse as time goes on.

But when I upload it to my server it works fine util I hit the reload button, all it does is do the short intro animation to display the preloader and just sits there.
I have attatched the preloader class wich is pretty straight forward.
