A fellow advanced programmer and I have teamed up and were assigned a very difficult image transition effect for a Flash website banner. I will do my best to explain what it needs to do. First off, there will be several pictures(backgrounds) for the banner, and they will transition into each other via a sort of Grid-like flip effect. Visually, it will be as if the picture was divided into squares, and each individual square (top-bottom, column by column for now), will flip over, and on the backside of each square will be the corresponding portion of the "Next Image". To clarify, I will try to create a visual...Picture this: a puzzle, only the pieces are square (for simplicity). The puzzle is 2 sided. You take each individual square piece of the puzzle, starting left-right and flip them over. Once your done flipping over the pieces, you have a whole new picture! I have done my best to mock up a photoshop image of what the effect will do:
Does anyone know of a light flip class to flip a movieclip that is animated? Away3D is overkill for this project since this simple flip is the only 3D effect needed.
I would like an .fla which has been completely composed/coded and allows the playhead to randomly jump to frame labels in a timeline so that I can see the code in action. I have tried many, MANY, methods and have failed. With little hair left, I humbly come to you for your wisdom... Perhaps I should mention the first frame in my movie contains a loader mc/script.
creating a flip-book in flash (using AS3) . I've looked at the other flip-book programs and editors out there, and none really give the customization that my company wants.I have something working, but the page scoping seems to be off. The pages will turn back and forward with a button click but they flip out of order. However, it all runs fine with no error when the user clicks on the pages themselves. This is the code from the main timeline (where I'm getting an error).
can someone show me a simple "randomize array" function. maybe a prototype that just returns a randomized version of an array such as:
[Code]...
I started on one myself but got stuck when, in the prototype, looping through "this" also counted the function being passed, as well as the elements of the array, and i can't seem to remember why it does that.
I need to flash a series of words for 2.5 seconds with a pause for .5 seconds. The words are drawn from an array that is assigned, but I need to have these words flash in a particular order.For example, if the "words" were A, B, C, D, E (each of which I've assigned a stored value), I might need to show A C E B A A F.
I have a flash ecard that I am working on and had one of those "wouldn't it be cool if..." moments!
I would like find out if it is possible to:
1) load in an xml file that contains several names 2) Load each one of those names into a predefined movie clip which would display the name 3) randomize the placement of each name in a given shape area so that the Movie clips with names would randomly fill in to make a specific shape.
I have an AdvancedDatagrid which gets populated by an ArrayCollection. I ordered the ArrayCollection by date (one of its properties), so it shows from past to future. The thing is, if I refresh the GroupingCollection (for immediate display in the datagrid) After the Sorting of the ArrayCollection, the ordering of the dates in the ArrayCollection gets scrambled again, but displays the populated AdvancedDatagrid immediately. So in sum: from ArrayCollection > Sorting > Refresh the GroupingCollection > Populates the Adv.DataGrid, but the ArrayCollection is not sorted anymore.
I am making something flash flip like: [URL] but i want to do it in my banner 1000 width and 299 height problem is that i have few banner images i think 5 to 8 and i want to start my flip from "bottom-left" corner till "top-right"
I want to have 8 cards on the stage, each card represents an animal and if you click on that card, it will flip over and zoom to fill the screen. When it flips over it will give a fun fact about that animal and in the lower right corner it wil have a 'close' button to bring you back to the stage where the other cards are.
I have a graphics object.I want it to doa full turn all the way round.To give the impression that it's turning around.What I can do is create an object, put another instance on a key frame later, and on that instace simply flip the object horizontoally.When I play the animation...It has the effect of doing half the turn.what I want is something that flips all the way round!I've played with trying to do this...But i just cant get it to work.
One of these is, when the fish swims along and hits the end of the tank, I want it to turn around. I've tried using rotate but that only turns it upside down, but I need it to turn around, so that it is facing the other way.[code]...
study about multiple 3d flip based on[URL]..i don't have any errors for now but my problem is this. the top & the bottom movie clip rotates different from the middle, i look for the solution and i found about Flash CS4 - Vanishing Point, my vanishing point is on the center, but when i change my vanishing point to top, my middle movie clip change its rotation.
I got the page flip .fla from here: iparigrafika ...How do you resize the pages without everything getting screwed up?I want to have it as an external .swf that I can load into a emptymovieclip but I don't know how to get everything in a certain size?
I see a bunch of Coverflow clones done in flash but I was wondering if there was a simple method to rotating a flat image in flash but to still give it the effect of depth like the images that seem to be on an angle. I imagine you have to use bitmapdata but im not even sure where to start. flipping it on the _xscale just isn't going to cut it.
I have a movieclip with many frames (symbol graphics) in it.How to flip the entire characters in all the frames of the movie clip to the left?Now the sprites in the movieclip is facing to the right.
I need to make a 3D cube menu. All 6 faces should be a link to another scene (or basically just a link to anything). For rotation wise, it should turn towards the left when the user click and drag the cursor from left to right.[URL]
In my flash file, I embedded a .swf (page flip) that loads when "Clothes" button is clicked in the flash file. When I navigate away from this page, it unloads. However, when i click on "Clothes" again with the .swf, the page flip won't load.Reference: http:[url]....
Traditionally, when blitting in old 2d games, flips and 90 degree rotations could be achieved with almost no performance hit. The reason for this is that the effect an be achieved by simply changing the order that pixels are copied.
I'm using copyPixels in Flash to get maximum performance. Is there any way to do a flip or 90 degree rotation using copyPixels? (Without pre-calculating and storing the flip/rotate). I couldn't find a way to do it, but it seems like it should be possible, because it is a very common technique in 2d games (well, not so much now that modern 2d games use 3d hardware acceleration... but Flash doesn't let us do that, so we need to use the traditional 2d techniques)
Ive been messing around with the free page flip and so far so goodve added in an XML thumbnail gallery and all works fineapart from I cant get it to go to the corresponding page when clicked. I can get it to navigate to an external URL no problem but not to go to the page.Here is the AS2 script for the thumbnails...
descriptions=true;alert._visible=false;var ease = 5;thumbs = new XML();thumbs.ignoreWhite=true;thumbs.load("thumbs.xml");thumbs.onLoad=function() { root=this.firstChild; total=root.childNodes.length;
I am working on some dress pattern design tutorials. I would like to show patterns and fabric pieces flip over with a page turn type animation. I am looking for a simple method as it involves doing it to a lot of diagrams. I have been looking at After Effects as I know I can 'page turn' objects. This pretty well produces the effect I am looking for but I feel it should be easier in Flash (Shape tweening morphs the diagram and motion tweening doesn't help) or perhaps video in Photoshop. I don't mind what I use.
My patterns are drawn in Illustrator so importing them would be really convenient. Ideally I would like to fill the shapes with a textile pattern and have the reverse showing with a different texture but this is not essential - just getting the diagrams to turn over smoothly would be really nice.
I have even thought of screen recording the process of dragging the corner of the diagram and flipping it over in some way.
I am happy to experiment but if anyone can point me to the best way forward I would be very grateful. There is nothing worse than spending hours/days working on a way to do things only to find there is a preset somewhere that does it for you.
I defined a symbol and applied 9-slice guides to it. When I transform the symbol, it transforms fine (the 9-slice works the way I expect) until I flip the symbol horizontally or vertically.
I have a movieclip that I want to use as it is, but I also want a flipped version of it. I looked in methods of movieclip and there doesn't seem to be a flip method.
in the "Interactive 3D Video Flip" tutorial i take the cod and applied to my stuff I noticed that when the page was rotated the Flash player consume 40-50% from my CPU , how it's possible? the animation it's finish but the CPU it's 40-50% used . tested in mozilla and IE and from Flash ( when i test the movie) Pentium 4 and athlon 64 X2 tested!!!.. windows 7 last version of flash player 10.045.
