View 1 RepliesI made a flash animation of a character walking, exported it as .swf, made sure it worked in the flash player, and imported it into After Effects. I used keyframes to map out where I wanted my character to walk. I played it back, first using space bar, then using 0, and my character didn't animate.
I didn't script anything. I was trying to follow these directions to create a walk animation[url]...
At step 4 the guy said, " I won't delve into how to create each frame of the cycle because for one thing, you can have a look at the fla. that I enclose at the end of the tutorial, and for another it's not that hard. I'm sure you can do that!" I didn't download his project because I already know how keyframes work, I knew what I needed to do to make my animation walk the way I wanted it to walk. From there I right clicked on the movie clip, clicked "Export SWF...", and named it.
How can I can I get my character to animate when I preview my work in After Effects? Was there something I should have done while in Flash to make it work in After Effects?
I need a very simple solution to make a very simple stylized hockey player. The player has to skate around the rink holding a hockey stick, then, stop and shoot a puck. I don't want the character or animation to be super realistic, but it has to look like the player is sort of skating and shooting a puck. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?I am open to any suggestions or a good tutorial or even if someone has the time to create a simple sample file of how to set up the skating
View 2 RepliesWe are using Adobe Flash to produce software for an interactive touch screen kiosk.I have 55 1024x768 24 bit PNG images.I want to play them (fairly regularly...once every 5 minutes or so) without them stuttering but can't find a good dependable way, main problem is I think Flash GC's them after an arbitrary idle period.Reason I'm doing this is because the FLV attempts we have made aren't sufficiently high quality.I also looked at using a H.264 but that obscures any other assets placed over it.I have a number of text fields sitting over this animation. The machine in question is a Core2 Duo, 4GB Ram, GeForce 9500GT.
View 1 RepliesHow can I animate and form rows together?One 'for loop' is for animation, the other 'for loop' is for making rows. I want to understand how to use arrays and create a row of sprite animations. I understand how to loop through an Array and create a Sprite for each index of the Array, but I'm having trouble putting my animation in rows.I got my number animation to play in a single row. When I add the loop to multiply it across the stage, it just blinks while continuing to animate.'for loop' for animation.[code]
View 1 RepliesThis is probably something simple but I'm scratching my head over easing with the Animate class in Flex 4. Basically I'm just trying to set easing via:
[Code]....
Which would be fine, except... the constructor argument is a Number, not an instance of EaseInOutBase. All of Google's results suggest that this should be defined via MXML, but I just feel... dirty doing it - rather, defining something that is purely programmatic with markup. I know that's half the nature of Flex, but still, I like to keep most of my logic/configuration in AS3. If there's a better way to animate with easing than using Animate with its easer property (eg, if this isn't the right way)
I want to write a small game using flash and actionscript but I am not sure how to start. The basic element may be a man walking on a surface which I suppose is the fundamental elements for my application. However, as I am new to flash and such a project is just a test for whether I can learn from the internet quickly to master a new language, I suppose that examples are the best. So how can I get a human walking on the ground in 3D example using flash?
