I am trying to build a stickman in Flex who will
a) move across the screen with speed- based on slider value
b) do something different (jump/ sit down) when he reaches end of screen
I presume will need to switch between 3-4 images to simulate illusion of movement with parts of body moving. would this approach be right? Are there any similar examples I can learn from?
I am awful at Flash, but have the new ver. Flash CS5. I use to be able to make a stickman.
Turn Onion Skin on
Draw stickman

Draw his next movement

I turned on onions
What is the code for ,aking a stickman run along the screen with flash mx
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to make an application in cs4 that allows the user to move a stickman into various positions and then play back the sequence of moves. Despite the fact that I haven't even gotten that far yet I also would need an undo and redo button. I have a few ideas regarding this i.e. logging each body part's coordinates as the user moves them and editing the timeline through some sort of 'record' button and undoing by having some sort of array...none of which I know how to implement into actionscript yet.
View 1 RepliesI made an animation in Flash which I want to embed in Flex using SWFloader.
I've imported the tweener class (caurina.transitions.*) to tween a rotation. The animation runs perfectly in Flash.
However, when I embed the animation in Flex, the tweening is gone.
Do I need to import the tweener class in Flex?
I use Flash Player 10 (latest version), Flash CS4 Professional version 10.0.02, IE8 and Flex Builder 3.
I have a movieclip that shows an animation onRollOver and an animation on RollOut but onRelease the animation enlarge itselfs but now when I'll roll out when the animation isn't open (so i didn't release) the animation plays the animation for the minimizing of the animation. Here's my code (I know its a bit amateuristic but I'm not a programmer )

I have a simple Flash animation of an object spinning around it's centre with no x, y movement nor scaling.
It plays fine in Flash but when I convert the symbol to a Flex component and instantiate it in mxml, the animation scales up and down as it spins.
i would like to add nice animations and other graphics to my application. do i need to use flash to create partial swf files and to load them or is there another way?
View 2 RepliesI have spent 2 hours on this simple state to state transition with simply resize and move animation. I can get the element to move and fade...but there is no resize animation at all. The panel element stay the same width whole time. If I copy the code to a brand new test mxml file, it works, but not in my main application file.

I need to create an animation and provide some results of the move function at the END of the animation. However, i am not able to control the output till the move function is completed
I tried the isPlaying- that doesn't seem to detect that the animation is completed... so continues to output resukts before the animation is complete
sample code I tried
private function mvbut():void{
var mv:Move= new Move;
mv.xFrom=Math.random()*300;

I have two panels that have a click event on them. However, both call the same function for some reason. When I have only one panel visible the animation works correctly. However if I add another to the stage on the click event both panels animate at the same time. I just dont get what I'm doing wrong. My function is looking for only the current target but apparently I must not be doing that correctly because it's animating both panels and not just the panel the I clicked. My expected result is to animate only the clicked panel.

We are building a project in Flash Builder 4(flex) and to optimize on screen space, looking to move some display content to a separate window, while the animation runs
We cannot use a pop-up as it takes control and will not allow anything else to be viewed till it is closed. Any way we can create a"read only" window that can be moved around but does not prevent the base animation from running.
This is a fairly simple question I would think.here is the code (I cut it down for an easy read)
<fx:Declarations>
<s:AnimateColor id="rw"
target="{targetRatioCol}"

I have a list which displays votes cast on things in a descending order (=the dataprovider has a sort assigned). The elements have variable height, but there are not so many elements, so i do not need to use a virtual layout
My problem is that this list needs to be updated real-time and i want to make this happen with a nice animation. (e.g. if an item overtakes another by votes, then they swap places.) Anyone knows how to make this animation with Flex 4.5 (spark list)? Do i need to write a custom layout?
I am using SWFLoader to load a little animation into my flex environment but for some reason the animation is sped up a lot. This is the case with all of the animations I tried. Is there a way to slow it down or fix this?

I also need to know how to use a 2D hand with bones in flex.
View 1 RepliesI just started developing in "Flash Builder 4" (flex framework) and I just can't figure out what the development process of animating characters should look like. My goal is to animate (standing - walking - jumping ...) a simple character like the stick figures in the game "Stick War" [URL]. I know there is a technique to do so by shape tweening in the Adobe Flash tool by using keyframes. But what I can't figure out is how to do it in Flex. Also it would be nice to get a description of a workflow from drawings to animation to code. Especially how to encapsulate the animated character in a class that manages the transition from e.g. running to jumping.

View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip created of a wheel that needs to roll on the ground. The speed of lateral movement of the wheel, is provided by the user and the wheel needs to rotate such that, it looks like rolling vs slipping on the ground I essentially need the wheel to rotate faster/ slower based on user input- how can this be achieved.
View 2 RepliesCan transitions be added to a source code that uses includeIn and excludeFrom to show/hide elements? It seems that elements are hidden immediately not allowing enough time for the transition to be played.
In this documentation article, a method with visible and includeInLayout properties is used but that would mean I would need to rewrite my MXML code which I'd rather avoid.
[URL]..the animated glowing effect on the buttons. One, I can't get any mouse events to respond in the skin. I can't seem to find others with this problem. In the below code, startAnimation is never getting called when a mouse over occurs, but the event is apparently getting registered. To test this code, simply add skinClass="ButtonSkin" to a button declaration in your main application, the code below being the ButtonSkin.mxml file.
[Code]...
EDIT I found out why mouse events weren't firing. The button apparently has mouseChildren false by default, which specifically prevents events from firing lower than itself. Using parent.mouseChildren = true; in the constructor fixes this issue. On to the next part of the question: continuous animation.
