Flash :: [F8] Trying To Create Animated Elipse

Create Non-animated Equivalent Of Animated Flash 8 Animation
Hi, I'm working with a template that includes Flash. It's bad enough I've never touched Flash before this project, but I have to actually work with someone else's engineering of one (I'm retrofitting a purchased template)! LOL

Anyway, all I want to do is to save a completely non-animated version of the animated version I've managed to perfect. The plan is to use it on sub-pages of our presentation so that people only have to experience the animation when they land on the page. Not when they're navigating around. I've already tried a couple of things including saving an image map version. All that did was present me with an error message that certain components weren't included, which is tentatomount to being non-usuable to me for now.

So, is there a way to tell Flash, "Hey, this looks great, now give me a static version of it with working links and everything!".

Thanks if anyone can help!

Dave

Elipse
so this draws an elipse:

PHP Code:

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mc",1);
mc.lineStyle(1,0x000000,100);
c=0;
mc.moveTo(300,200);
_root.onEnterFrame=function(){
    x=Math.sin(Math.PI/180*-c)*200+300;
    y=Math.cos(Math.PI/180*-c)*100+200;
    if(c==0){
        mc.moveTo(x,y);
    }else if (c>360){
        _root.onEnterFrame=null;
    }else{
        mc.lineTo(x,y);
    }
    c+=4;
}

how'd i add a duplicate loop so it repeats but draws a smaller elipse each time?

thnx!!~~

Fuse Elipse?
I am pretty new to Fuse so I want to know if anyone knows if I can use Fuse to make an object travel in an eliptical path. Sort of how you can use guides to do it in a timeline animation.

Thanks, Dvl

How To Create Animated Background?
I really like the animated background in the enclosed swf created by 5Sec.com, which looks similar to the Random Lines file in Kirupa's Experimental section. Can somebody tell me how to duplicate this effect in Flash5 (or send me a .fla file that blends an animated background with objects flying at various angles behind a menu with a main body to the right)? I would really appreciate some help...Thanks!!!

How Do You Create This Animated Button?
say i have a set of 5 buttons. each button is a plain solid circle, and when you hover over it a border appears (easy so far right?), take the mouse off the button and the border disappears and once you click it the border stays.

but...

i want to be able to click on another button the same thing occurs except i want the border from the previous button to dissappear once i click on another button.

how would i get this done?

How Do I Create An Animated Button?
I can't find a tutorial (that doesn't have a broken link) or directions anywhere on the web or in flash help about how to make a button animation.

Basically what I want to do is make the button flash, or dance, move or whatever, when someone mouses over it.

Any help would be much appreciated!

On Click & Stop Along Elipse ?
I am creating a flash movie & have symbols motion tweening along an ellipse on click. There are 5 symbols in all. I want the symbol when clicked to go to & play a frame number within the movie then stop. I've got this function working OK.

The problem I am having is that if I add a command into the symbol to say

gotoAnd Play (10);

I also need to add

stop O;

to frame number 10 otherwise the movie will play to the end.

Is there a method of saying goto frame 10 & stop ? or something similar ?

I've added a screengrab of the movie to give you a better idea of what I'm talking about:

Any help much appreciated.

? - Move Objects On Elipse Via AS
So, my coworker has been challenged with rotating some objects around an elipse. Somewhat similar to moving the planets around the sun but all on the same elipse. Then, as the object comes to the foreground we will make the object bigger so it stands out.

Anyone willing to share some code or know of a new component that would do this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

How Do I Create An Animated Timeline In Flash 8?
Hello,

I think the tutorials on Kirupa.com are really great. I am looking for a specific tutorial or help creating an animated timeline.

The movie would self-run showing a photo and text for each time point. The user can choose to stop the feature, start the feature, or go back to the beginning.

I'm a Flash newbie, so if there is an existing tutorial that would address this (even if its content isn't exactly what I'm looking for) , I'd love to be directed to it.

Thanks for your help!

A Way To Apply Radial Gradent To An Elipse?
Is there a way that you can apply a radial gradient to an elipse shape and have it so the gradient is stretched horizontally to fit the shape (done automatically in flash) and have it squished so it also fits vertically. So the edge of the gradient conensides with the top and bottom of the elipse. See below for what currently happens, as soon as the shape becomes an oval rather than a circle, the gradient does not 'fit'

Truncate Dynamic Text Box With Elipse
so i've been trying to figure out how I can truncate a dynamic text box if it's longer than 90 characters and append an elipse to the end (three little dots...)

i've got a ghetto version somewhat working by having a second dynamic text box with a ... appear next to the original text box if the character count is higher than 90. Only problem is that the text is left justified and my ... is just floating out to the right becuase the edge of the text box is different evertime new text gets put in.

any other ideas?
thanks!!

How Can I Create A Button That Changes Time On Animated Clocks.
I am creating a resource for children to help them understand time zones around the world, and analogue and digital displays.

I need to have two clocks, one with an hour hand and minute hand, and one a digital clock. I want to have two buttons, one called 'back' and one called 'forward' that advance/reduce the time. So if I clicked on 'back' 3 times the clock hands/digital display will move to display the time 3 hours behind the original time.

How could I do this? I presume I would need to change the angle of the hands on the analogue clock by 30 degrees each press. Can this be done with a button press?

Even re-reading this message it strikes me as quite a complicated problem, but if anyone can help me I'm sure you are on Flashkit forum!

Thanks in advance!!

Unable To Create Working Animated Pulldown Menu
Hi, I need to create an animated pulldown menu using Flash CS3 (AS2 is fine), and my attempts have been unsuccessful. Any help here would be appreciated!

My site is http://www.twinklecouture.com
My problem is that the WOMEN button needs to have multiple URL links for each listing below it. Notice the entire thing changes to a link but does not link to the test foxnews.com as my code shows. I need each listing, including WOMEN, to link to a different page. It works PERFECTLY in TEST MOVIE for ONE link, but when loaded onto my site, it does not work at all (see link).

Further, if I add a second link to another of the menu listings, it cancels out the previous one.

Since you cannot see my Flash index file, the attached menu file (saved in v8 from CS3) is called to using loadMovieNum in the last frame of my actions layer.

My code, generously donated by another forum-ite, is as follows, and files are attached for reference.

women.onRollOver = over;

function over () {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
delete this.onRollOver;
detectRollOut(this);
women.whatsnewBtn.onRelease = released;
}

function out () {
this.gotoAndPlay(7);
}

function released() {
getURL("http://www.foxnews.com","_blank");
}

function detectRollOut(target:MovieClip) {
var bounds = target.getBounds(this);
detectInt = setInterval(checkPos,100);
function checkPos() {
if (_xmouse < bounds.xMin || _xmouse > bounds.xMax || _ymouse < bounds.yMin || _ymouse > bounds.yMax) {
target.gotoAndPlay(7);
clearInterval(detectInt);
target.onRollOver = over;
}
}
}

Very Simple Flash-type Software To Create Animated Text Gifs
Hi

I was wondering whether anyone could recommend a Swish-type package that I can use to create simple animated text gifs. Let me explain more.

I want to send out animated text messages (which also include two static gifs) on emails to my customers to promote my Company.

I presumed that Swish would let me do that but you can't seem to export to gif so I wonder whether anyone here can recommend an alternative.

The package would need to be:-

1 - VERY easy
2 - Allow to export to gif
3 - Allow fancy animated text effects
4 - & also two static gifs either side of the text.

All suggestions welcome please.

Thanks

Create Animated Text "button"
Hello Group, I saw a really cool effect on a web site (http://victor.hasselblad.com) (after you click on the large image)
This site has the usual stuff - CONTACT - TECHNIQUES - SITE MAP, etc. but the thing that is cool is when the user
mouses over one of the "words", like CONTACT, the text moves left, and the same word is displayed, but grayed out slightly, to indicate selection, and then the hyperlink associated with the text is followed, etc. i took a look at the source code via the browser, and see where the site is using *.swf files for the various animations (as well as some java)

I would love to duplicate the moving text idea. I am just starting with flash, and the learning curve is "steep".

Any tips on how I could create this effect???

thanks,

Animated SWF Is Not Animated When Included In Another Movie As A Clip
I have an SWF that, when run by itself, is an animation of a graphic equalizer display. But when I bring it into a new movie as a movie clip (I want to change the alpha, throw up some text, clear the txt, change the alpha, etc), the animation does not work, and all I get is the static images.

FLA is at http://www.black-diamond.com/flash_src/equalizer.fla if anyone wants to take a look at it. The one I am trying to bring it into is at http://www.black-diamond.com/flash_src/test3333.fla (the corresponding .swf to see what happens is at http://www.black-diamond.com/flash_src/test3333.swf ).

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Animated Rollover Using Animated Gif
Hi

I am brand spankin new to this forum

I want to make a rollover button in flash using a animated gif.....
is this possible?

i will explain

I made a simple gif that would be the button in idle position.

then i made a animated gif of same picture with edges starting to glow (the glow fades in, its only like 7-8 frames) i wanted this to come on in the originals place so it looks like the word home is glowing

i cannot figure it out. I am a photoshop guru, but am still taking baby steps in flash.

the reason i made button in photoshop is beacause you can make it look a lot cooler than with vector graphics(unless u wanna spend a lot of time making it look like metal)

can someone please help!!

I will atach my gifs so u can see if you can do it!!

Create, Delete, Create Event Handlers
Hi,

At the moment I create an onEnterFrame function to ease a movie clip into view. I then delete it. I want to be able to recreate a similar onEnterFrame function later to swoosh the movie clip out of view. At the moment weird things happen when I try and do the second onEnterFrame. Am I doing something illegal here?
I know I could put this all in the original onEnterFrame, but I don't wanna be wasting processor time doing an if statement every frame to work out if it's time to swoosh out the movieclip. Or should I not worry because that's negligible cpu time?

Animated Man
Can somebody please help with this.

http://www.btinternet.com/~lfl_powell/

The animation is created with one main MC with a static man facing left on frame 1, static man facing right on frame 2, MC of man moving left on frame 3 and another MC of the man moving right on frame 4 and all are set to stop on frame.

What i want to happen is for the main MC to intially face right (which i know i can do by swopping the static frames around) but when the man moves left I want it to then go the the left static - so he ends up facing the direction he last went.

I'm currently using this script on the main MC but is there anything else i could add to do it or an easier way??

onClipEvent (load) {
moveSpeed = 10;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
gotoAndStop (4);
this._x += moveSpeed;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
gotoAndStop (3);
this._x-=moveSpeed;
}
}

Also if anyone knows a way to stop him walking off the end of the page that'd be helpful to!!

cheers
