I am doing an animation for a web site with Flash CS3. I need to make images (.jpg) that I converted in graphic symbols, to pass along the screen continuously. I know, for many of you this must be very basic question, but I don't know how to solve it. My problem is that the images vibrate so much making the animation to look bad.
View 3 RepliesI was making an animation in flash cs4 and i was making a play/pause button. Everything pauses when clicked but the play button gives me an issue. I have some movie clips with animations in them so when i tell them to play, instead of resuming where they were, they play regardless of whether or not they should be playing.

View 1 RepliesI installed Adobe Flash CS5.5 a couple of days back...Trying to learn a few basic tricks such as motion tween (messed up things with the bone tool though)..Well the problem is, a friend of mine made a 3D drawing in Solid Works(a modelling software). It is a sort of box, now he wants me to make a flash animation for the box which starts from a sheet of paper and folds into a box and then the camera zooms out.
Now i have no idea how to do that..jpg file can be made and imported to flash...but as it will be an imported file how can it be manipulated to achieve the final task....taking screen shots of the box at various stages of solid works can be done and then played all together in flash baut it would be very tiresome and time consuming...
I dont want anyone to make it for me just guide me what tools and tutorials to look at.
Anyway what I need is a banner (or galleri) which pulls in external images. But i want it to be able to automatically get new images which I put in the folder.Also i want to be able to position this, since im going to make a banner/menu combo ( I can post an image of the concept if actually i have a link to the site where im want to use itI want to position the the banner in between the graphic to the left and right and I also want to position the menu on top of the banner.I've read some tutorials where you use a placeholder which i guess is what i'm supposed to do here.

how I can have my swf fill the entire browser (as in publish settings 100% w & h etc) but not stretch/distort the text and images in the swf.
There is a site [URL] that does this. It fills the whole screen yet when you resize, the objects do not become distorted.
I may have the wrong approach with publish settings width & height 100%??
I am building a Dutch website where people can search for availble houses tot rent. The website is completly free for every one. But to make some money I have added the possiblity for house owners to put there website in the spotlight in Dutch "uitgelicht" (see : http:[url].....). Now I have the following problem. Not every browser shows it in the correct way and I wanted to change the banner in to a flash banner. So I started out in flash to create a "image belt" like this. But now I want to insert some images from a database and I am stuck.
The Question : Where and how do I tell Flash to insert images from a db. I know PHP but I don't know where to start looking.
I am a beginner to Flash and Dreamweaver, I hope this question is simple enough. I have CS4. I have a short, simple animation of 3 images that fade in and out. however, I put 2 still images in front of the animation. One slightly covering the left side and one slightly covering the right side. I have the images tilted slightly.
Here is my issue. When I import the Flash movie into Dreamweaver, only the fading images show up. However the still images do show up whenever I open the document in Flash, so I know that I saved it. Let me just add that when I converted to images to symobols, I saved them as movies and and then as images. I also tried expanding the stage so the images would fit inside the stage, still didn't work.
I saw some cool vibrations on a Flash site (forgot the URL) when you click on a button how do you do that in Flash?
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a SWF animation, something I could place on my webpage and input images via an admin section.So I would put the SWF in place, and then he would feed himself via an XML file I would do (or something like this) that I would construct with a PHP script from a MySQL database. The script would take randomly images from the DB.All I want is the SWF, I can organize myself with the XML/PHP/MySQL thing.
The animation (the SWF) has to be extensible, I mean, I want to specify the width and height of the animation and I want it to scroll from right to left continuously, at an average speed. This implies that the animation could be, let's say 900 pixels wide, there could be numerous images at the same time scrolling from right to left, all images would have to keep aspect ratio (the maximum height specified).
I just started learning Flash as part of a project, consisting of a spider-like figure which is supposed to vibrate every 20 seconds. I've basically got the vibrating to work but am having more trouble learning about getting it to vibrate at different intervals. I was hoping that someone here could point me in the right direction as to where to find this information, even an applicable tutorial or something.

In other words, I'd like to see transitions between the following: We've tried several of the jQuery slideshow plug-ins, but the Flash animation doesn't play well -- for example, if we use a simple dissolve transition, the Flash never disappears
View 1 RepliesI have a png image which has been converted to an MS and used as a button. When I mouse over the button, I _xscale and _yscale it so that it's smaller and on roll out the opposite needs to happen. However, when I move my mouse just over the edge of the button the xscale and yscale vibrate erratically and I am not sure what is causing this. I have already put a transparent vector rectangle behind the image thinking this will sort out the problem but it seem it still happens.
View 1 RepliesI have MX and MX 2004. I'm building myself a website and I have a logo that's displayed in the center of the stage. I have 6 different colored logos. I would like the grey logo(main logo) to blur and jitter a little while blurred when it's moused-over. I would also like to create a transition so that when people view a different section (lets say the teal colored section) of my site, the grey logo will blur and jitter while blurred, but also fade/transition into the teal logo. purple for the purple section, etc... I know how to do fading tweens, however I don't know actionscript very well at all. part of it even if it all can't be done together. I'd like some version of this effect if possible.
View 13 Repliesim making a button and on the rollover animation I want to have it splatter paint, only thing is I dont know how to get an image into flash that doesnt look crappy. I know that I need a vector image, but im not familiar with vectors as I usually use photoshop. I tried using a photoshop brush image, a simple paint splatter in which I was just going to tween to a larger splatter but like I said the image looks blurred because itsa bitmap.
another newbie question, but when you make an animated button, is the background included in the animation? Like lets say I import a button, give it an animation to glow on rollover or something, if i went to use that .swf would the background that it was placed on show? or would it just be the animation that shows on the default web browser background.
I have to load several images and then do 3D image animation. For this if I use Flash CS4 platform,do I have to use Papervision 3D or other 3D open source classes. Further,I have to create a movie file which contains all the image animation and allow user to view it. It is similar to [URL] website concept. So,is it possible to make .mp4 files with actionscript or I have to rely on AIR platform.

View 1 RepliesI'm very new at Flash and while Ive picked up the basics of tweening and creating animations. I'm trying to create an image of a post it note that is revelaed via a mask when a user rolls over a seperate image. I have created the animation of the mask and it revelas the note fine. My question is how do I create an invisible button and code it in action script so when I roll over image 1 my mask tween begins playing to reveal the post it.

View 7 RepliesI am not new to flash. I am making an image transition animation. But when i move an image from one point to another point that in x or y position it gets shaky and image animation is not smooth at all. I am just trapped that what do? i have tried the image in different qualities and resolutions but dont know how to do it.
I am attaching the shaky.zip file. Im using motion tween to animate the image.
I'm basically making a animation of someone breathing, with multiple layers. What I want to happen when a user clicks the animation is for it to switch to the next layer seamlessly (skin>muscles>skeleton). Each layer has the same 60 frames. For example, if the skin layer's currentframe was '37' i'd want the muscle layer to start at '38' when clicked.Below is some of the code I already have. I can trace the currentframe of the original mc, however the attached movieclip refuses to gotoAndPlay to that number?[code]
View 1 RepliesI am making an animation that tweens two different objects at different speeds dependent on the position of the mouse. This is working fine, however, when the user takes the cursor outside the flash box and enters the frame it jumps to that position.
I have created a tween for this first instance however, if the user continues to move there cursor before this tween has finished it continues to jump.
Here is the code I have written
Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, CheckDirection);

This is something I tried to do once long ago with Flash MX, and it did not work for me, and now with CS3, I find that the same concept is not working. What I am trying to do is make an animation where the text appears via a masked layer, but I would like the mask's gradient to be revealed in the animation. Here is what I have: And here is how it is being displayed during the animation:

View 3 RepliesRecently I've been developing in a certain way that i'm not sure is wise, so I thought I would ask the guru's here for guidance. Let's say I'm developing a game with an "Enemy" class. Recently I've been making references to all the subclips in the Enemy animation and holding them in my class as variables, so for an Enemy called "Troll" i might have variables in the class saved as:
private var _walkAnimation:MovieClip;
private var _runAnimation:MovieClip;
private var _attackAnimation:MovieClip;
and then reference these whenever I need to flip between the animation states for that Enemy instead of using getChildAt() or getChildByName() to find the relevant subclip every time I wanted to reference it. I was once told saving CPU was more important than conserving memory in cases such as this, but I wanted to make sure this was true. Your thoughts?
(I call a dispose() or destroy() function when I remove enemies so the references can be Garbage Collected)
