View 3 RepliesI am making a very simple stick figure animation which will be intended for tv, specifically HDTV 1080p.I have no idea how i did it but I did the animation and before I knew it it was not on scene 1, but on the graphic symbol timeline. I think it is because I made my character a symbol, and i guess everything followed. But when I put them on the stage from the library, only part of the animation shows up, the part with the character i made into a symbol...not only that, but if I copy and paste all the frames from the symbol timeline onto the main timeline, it is HUGE! it doesn't match the size or placement it was on in the other timeline..Also, are there any specific requirements for editing with intent for hdtv? I read you can't use movie clips but as for size, etc? What do you have to set at the beginning and what will change when it is exported or converted for tv?

View 4 RepliesI am working on my school website and I am working on the timeline of my school history, but I got stuck. This is what I wrote:
ActionScript:
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;
div = 5;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

The problem is when I click the button again when it is scrolling, the order would mess up...

I have the seek bar component on my stage and need to be able to use it to seek through the timeline just like any other video player. However, I am not using this to control a FLV movie, but just need it to control where I can seek through my animation.

View 1 RepliesI wanna create a effect like this website. [URL]For all americans if it don't work you can view it here. [URL]Let it charge and play through one time and then it will start to work properly.In words the effect I want is to be able to scrub over the timeline with a slider on a line I can control so I can make it follow the object. There by creating the feeling of be able to drag the object in the picture back and through the timeline but it being played and not just jumping to the picture.[URL]
View 1 RepliesI have a movieClip, with other movieClips inside of it, objects that I want when hit to lose points. But when I have the movieClips inside that one, it just has a giant "boundry box". I want the points to go down when you hitting only one of those items,instead it just goes does throughout the entire thing.
There is no way for me to scroll all those objects across the screen without either making a tween on the main timeline for each object (almost 20), or somehow making a giant movieClip scroll all of them all the way across, bypassing the first boundry box, and acknowledging the movieClips.
I know you can use the mouse wheel to scroll through text in the flash componenet scroll pane, but is there a way to set it up to work with the code I have posted below?

is there anyway when i use scroll bar component in flash... how do i make it so that i can be controlled by your mouse scroll button.. thing.... ( if its possible )
View 3 RepliesI've gotten to chapter 5 in my AS 3.0 classroom book but I need to use wisdom today (CHAPTERS before I gain it for myself),I need to create a custom scroll bar with buttons that function just like the UIScrollBar but more visually suited to our projects. the boss demands it.
I found several tutorials on creating the custom scrollBar, however, they don't include the buttons and I'm unable to find a tutorial on how to create a button scroller (I figured I could link them both to my "info_txt" after creating them separately).
how to create an AS3 text scrollBar WITH buttons? how to create a nice scroll effect with buttons(if creating the scroll bar and buttons apart then linking them to the same text field is not possible or a faulty way to accomplish this).
I am having endless trouble trying to get flash to scroll with a mouse scroll wheel on both PC and Mac. Pixel Breakers code "swfmacmousewheel" seems to be the way to go but despite everyone raving about how amazing it is and showing many version of it working very nicely, I cant get it to work. I've followed all the instructions I can find as carefully as possible but I get nothing. I just want something similar to this > [URL]

View 1 Repliesmake a graphic like this:
when i press the button the graphic go up, if press again go down, always like this.
I imported a panorama .jpg file (i.e., several overlapping landscape photos stitched together) onto the Flash MX 2004 stage, changed it to a symbol (graphic), and used Tween to simulate the panorama panning back and forth. The effect looks great when I click on the .swf file in Windows Explorer, but when I created a box on a PowerPoint 2000 slide and linked the .swf file to it, instead of the graphic, there is a red rectangle. The rectangle moves the way the graphic would, but you cannot see the photograph. By the way, I followed the steps at [URL] to link the .swf file to the PowerPoint slide.
View 1 RepliesI have researched the subject for some time now and still haven't figure it out.I use midas3 library (Midi-actionscript3) to import midi to flash. I get each note-item on a timeline. I get the divisions value (192) and all of the "GET-TEMPO" elements are equal to 81.I tried a lot of combinations to get the actual time of the midi but still no good (timeline*192/60 for example).The reason I know it is not synchronized to the actual time is that when I visualize the notes as simple rectangles in flash - I check if they appear exactly to what the mp3 file plays (I have converted the midi file to this mp3 using simple conversion program)I have read a lot about how all is calculated but still haven't figure out the number I need to use to get it right (timeline * MysteriusConstant = ReaTIME, what is the value of MysteriusConstant? is it really constant? and if not how do I calculate how it is changed?)

View 1 RepliesWhat I have is a lot of buttons (over 200), and I want to loop through them all. They're all instances of the same graphic symbol in the IDE, so there should be a way to loop through them all.
If I was doing this or something similar in JavaScript, I could do something like: document.getElementsByClassName('MyGraphicSymbol') and then I'd have an array of all the elements. So looking for something like this in AS3.
I was trying some stuff with masking. I have a shape on one layer. And there is another layer which acts as mask for first one. In the mask layer, I keep adding a graphic symbol to be able to reveal first layer's portions.
This is not working.
I am attaching my fla for your reference.
Please let me know what am I doing wrong.
Interestingly, if I use just shapes instead of graphic-symbol in the mask layer, it is working fine. Why is so?
I am looking to add some life to this graphic in flash: [URL] My goal is to have the "Hey Jude" element drop into frame and be suspended by the two strings that are attached to it. i.e. similar in fashion like a swingset I have looked all over the web but have yet to find any leads/tutorials on the matter. I would also like this element to be physics based so that the motion is random and when the element is moused over it responds to the action.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to make a graphic flash at regular intervals that I can control via AS3. I was trying to do this with tweening but I am getting bogged down because for some reason when I try to get the darn thing to loop it just won't do it. I want to be able to change the rate at which the graphic flashes on and off the screen within the constraints of the frames per second so that I can simulate a light and sound machine. Ideally I'd like to be able program the starting frequency of the flashing light (say 15hz) and the ending frequency (5hz for example) and the program would gradually shift the frequency from one to the other over the course of the graphic. For right now I would love it if I could just programmaticly set the frequency of the flashing graphic within the limitations of the frames per second.
View 14 RepliesI am facing a problem: graphic pixelated issue. I have created some images in photoshop and want to import to flash. However i realized from my fren that it has got to do with photoshop which is in raster type while flash it in vector style that's why it appears to be pixelated in flash.
View 2 RepliesI have been facing with some issues with lags in my Flash applications and wondering if it is possible to dynamically set Graphic Quality in Flash based on user's machine spec or connection speed so that I can set the Graphic Quality to Medium or even Low when the user's machine is unable to handle it.
View 2 RepliesI'm loading a graphic via the Loader Class. Now I need to use it both as the original image and a thumbnail of that image. Alas, there is no "duplicateMovieClip" or anything like that in AS3
If I addChild it to the normal view and then to the thumbnail only the thumbnail is shown and vice versa.
I google for this and found several solutions online, but they all just seem to work with Images from the library and not loaded from a Server.
So, how do I do this without having to load the Image twice?
I'm trying to make a visual novel in flash, I have created the UI and the characters, but I don't know what could be the best approach as how to load the dialog and how to save them. I've been thinking about external files, but I don't know what could be the best type of files to do so. Also, when I load the game I want it to continue in the same scene and with the same variable values (obviously) is there a way where you can save all of them (like an image of the game).
View 2 RepliesI've watched Lee's video on the Flash CS4 preloader a few times now but have not been able to figure out how to switch a movieclip for the dynamic text field.
Here's what I'm trying to do. My logo is a handwritten font. I've used the eraser tool over 100 frames to simulate the handwriting taking place, during the preloading process. Hopefully this will start at Frame 1 and go up to Frame 100 based on the percent of the external file loaded.
I just don't get how to change the AS from the video tutorial to have it work for my application. I don't have the 'percent_text' dynamic field obviously so the two lines which pertain are wrong, but that still doesn't get the movieclip [called logoLoader] to engage the script.
Here is Lee's script:
Code: Select allvar l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("content.swf"));
[Code].....
