[F8] Actionscript Effect Converted To Frames



I need to create a smooth growing shrinking effect just like the one here -http://reflektions.com/miniml/template_permalink.asp?id=372

Anyone know how to achieve this with frames and tweens rather than actionscript? What I have now looks like it's bouncing off of glass in the middle rather than being smooth. I've played around with the easing with no luck.

It's for a scrolling list of text loading from XML and the left edge needs to stay aligned the whole time. I had a freelancer get things done so far and it's done in frames and I have no idea how to change it actionscript.

Anyone have any ideas?

.qt Converted To Traced Frames?
For some reason, I can't remember how to get a quicktime animation converted into a series of traced outline frames. The trace bitmap option is greyed out when I select my .qt movie.

Also, assuming I don't trace the movie frames, I can see this quicktime movie when I hit return in my movie clip I've created, but when I export to .swf, the place where the movie should've been is blank. ???

I know this isn't hard, I've just been out of the Flash loop for a few months and now I'm rusty. Forgive me if I should be demoted back to the Newbie page. I'll be happy to post there if I can find the answer. ...maybe I'll go ahead and post there as well...

Thanks.

Loading Order Of Layers/frames And Its Effect On Actionscript
I was wondering about the Load Order of Actionscript.
I see there is an option to load Actionscript from top-down or bottom-up.
What is better/prefered?

If i always put my actionscript on a layer at top, does that mean i should do bottom-up... Cuase if my actionscript on that top layer is
_root.textbox.text = "blah;"
and on the 2nd Layer has that textbox I am modifying,

then wont the actionscript not know what to do since if Flash is loading that frame one layer at a time, then it loads the actionscript, and layer 2 wont exist (hence textbox doesnt exist) when actionscript is being parsed.

I guess I have a weak understanding of how flash/frames/Layers are loaded and effect on actionscript. Is a whole frame loaded be4 any frames/layers start being drawn?

What if on layer 3, I create another textbox but dynamically through more actionscript.
If the 1st Layer actionscript makes reference to this, what happens?
again since i am using bottom-up, then shouldnt make a difference since it is being created before 1st Layer right? but if i was using top-down, the 1st layer wont know what 'textbox2' is...


if this question warrants a longgg answer, a good tutorial on the web is appreciated.

Trying To Create A FADE EFFECT Between Frames
Hello,

Is it possible to create write some actionscript which would cause a Flash movie to fade smoothly when jumping from one frame to another?

For example, say I have a Flash movie with 10 frames with a 'stop' command on each frame with a navigation bar which allows me to jump from from frame to frame as I choose. Every time I jump to a new frame I want the content in the old frame to smoothly fade into the content of the new frame. And I want this to happen for the entire frame, not just certain elements. What would be the actionscript elements for doing that? Or is there a tutorial?

Thanks in advance.

How Do I Copy These Frames For Sephiroth Text Effect

Timed Changing Frames (screensaver Effect)
is there a way to automatically change frames when the cursor is on stadby for a specific period of time?

eg.

im on frame 10 (on an .exe application). stop();

[after, let's say, 5mins of standby (no activity on the computer/application)]

application automatically goes back to frame 1, and stays. stop();

[CS3] Fade Effect On Flash Site (between Frames)
Hi all,

sorry, bit of a n00b here....

I have just set up a flash site (well a section on my site for DJ Profiles).

What i have is a group of buttons that point to different frames on the .swf file, and each button hat is clicked goes to its corresponding frame.

But the thing i want to do is, when a button is clicked, the current frame will fade out and then the next frame will fade in...

I know it will end up being a simple thing to do, but i just cant get to grips with it. Im not really that good at the old AS section of flash.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Dust And Scratch Effect Positioning And Leaving Remnants On Next Frames
Hi,

I'm using Flash MX Pro 2004 and am working on a movie that uses BlackZer0's film effect .

I am trying to use the effect over the top of a movie clip that is smaller than my main stage and have successfully done that.

When the user clicks out of the dust and scratches movie, there are remnants of the dust on the next frame (not the lines) - it doesn't go away even though I am on another frame.

Here is the code from BlackZer0 that I'm using on an off-stage action for the circle (film grain/dot):

Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_root.line._x=random(205);

for (i=0; i<=2; i++)
{
_root.circle.duplicateMovieClip( "circle"+i, i+1);
}
if (i=2){
i=0;
}
}
And here is the code given to the circle symbol:

Code:
onClipEvent(load){
if (this._name<>"circle"){
this._x=random(300);
this._y=random(400);
deedee=random(100);
this._xscale=deedee;
this._yscale=deedee;
}
}
Why does the circle still remain on stage once we've jumped to the next frame?

Have I given enough information?

Here's a quicky example.
Thank-you,
Rob

Actionscript With Two Frames.?
Hi,
I've very basic knowledge of actionscript and I'm trying to improve on that!
any help would be very appreciated!
I have this interesting particle system that I'm trying to adapt.
I'm using the SWF inside another application (arkaos a VJ program)
While using a midi keyboard I can send realtime instructions to the flash and see it on the screen.
My problem is that I need at least 2 frames on the SWF, and a play command in order to make it work.
Having the script for the particles on frame 1, and no other frames collapses the particles system...
Anybody has an idea on how to adapt this without destroying the code ?

Thank you

How To Use Frames In ActionScript

Frames In ActionScript
I am developing my application using only the AS3 compiler from Adobe and FlashDevelop. The Flash IDE exposes frames to the developer, but without using the Flash IDE, what is a frame in AS3? For example, in some platforms you draw inside a buffer and then swap bufffer to video memory or do a page flip. The buffer you draw in is the frame.

Importing Converted MP3 ?
Hello, recently i downloaded a software that converts music from a cd to mp3.
but when i try to import the .mp3 to either MX or FLash 5, they both give me an error saying that:
"one or more files were not imported becuase there were problem reading them"
MX does however let me import every other mp3 i have except the one i have converted.
I have compared the properties and there are no differences.

Can anyone please help me or suggest what to do?

thanks in advance,

Converted Content: What Would You Do?
Background: I have a pdf document that you can fill out online and send it to an email or a database. This will become all flash.

What would you do to place that pdf into FLASH MX only and allow that converted pdf (a flash form now) to be able to print after filling it out and or email it to a specified address.

Specs: The form must be printable without having to send through email because the movie is going to be strictly on CD-Rom.

My solutions and pitfalls:
I will create a form (all flash) that will be allowed to be filled out by a user. The user will print out what he just filled out plus the form area. I dont see how I would be able to create a 10 page form to be filled out, because the scroll text bar does not take input fields inside of it. How do I fit all of that text and input onto one flash movie. 800by 600 pix

Am I going about this the wrong way? Do you have a solution?

Thank you in advance

FLA Converted Into HTML

I have CS3, Dreamweaver, Flash, etc.

SWF Converted To AVI (or Video)
Hi I'm working on a project and I need serious help!

I've made a .swf flash movie which I need to convert into regular video. Preferably something raw or uncopressed so I can do further editing and some audio in After Affects. I've tried a bunch of shareware swf > avi program things but they all suck. Some take a long time to render and then the video is only the first frame of a 2400 frame movie. Another skips frames, doesn't render movie clip symbols... I found out after I made the video that the flash export to avi ignores all action script and symbols and that everything must be placed into a gigantic, hugely layered file.

Does anyone know of a way or program to convert an swf to video? I can't publish as a .mov either because that only allows flash 5 and that sucks. If I can't find a way to export the movie clips and everything at a consistent speed then I'll have to create the movie all over again. Which will be not fun. Any help is appreciated.

The programs I have tried are listed below. If you know of any really good software for this I might be able to buy please let me know.

Thanks, goodapollo

Duplication Of Actionscript Throughout Frames
I got a good question . . . Duplication of Actionscript
Okay. . . here is the scenario.

---

I will be loading variables into a flash file from an external text file. The variables file will hold a good deal of information. The information will be comprised of a proprietary metadata format (my own of coarse) that will have to in turn be decoded and parsed by the actionscript in Flash. That being said it is a very simple concept.

The most important variable will be a frame total variable, and the second most important will be a frame number variable. The frame total variable will correspond with the total amount of frames that are to be used in the movie. The frame number variable will correspond with what number the frame is and in turn which variables to load. For instance, my data might look like this (in array format):

frame_total=2,frame_1=this.variable.text='Somethin g',frame_2=this.variables.text='Good'

(On frame 1 a textbox loads the the string 'Something' and on fram it loads 'Good')

It in turn could look like this:

array[0] = Frame Total
array[1] = Frame Number
array[2] = Frame Number

(As such, every array variable over array[0] corresponds to a frame number and variable value. )

Thie first frame actionscript will differ from the second frame actionscript. The first frame will only be interested the array[0] (Frame Total) value, while the second frame will only be interested in the additional array values, or the frame number variables values.

The trick is to have Flash, in the first frame, duplicate the contents of the second frame and populate a number of frames, actionscript and all, determined by the frame total value. So if array[0] (Frame Total) = 10, we would end up with 11 frames, and 11 array values. The first frame and array value being the frame total. The rest of the array values would be frame number variable values and the rest of the frames would load those values.

Hope this is an accurate description. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Anyway To Create/add Frames With Actionscript?
When using video converted to .swf with Squeeze, I find I need to insert an fscommand somehow on the last frame (to trigger action in my host application). I found that loading the video .swf into an empty .swfs timeline I can simulate this by placing an fscommand on the last frame of that empty .swfs timeline, this works gerat as long as the empty .swf has same number of frames as the dynamically loaded video .swf. I was wondering if there's a way to have the empty .swf read how many frames in the video .swf and then adjust it's own timeline length to match?

Or does anyone have a better way to solve this problem of needing to have an fscommand on the last frame of my converted-from-video .swfs?

Thanks for any help or advice.

Actionscript For Looping Frames Help
I am a teacher and I used to make presentations on Director using small script to navigate between markers. Now I decided to try using Flash instead but

I need to know how to loop several frames and make the script "listen" to keys while looping.

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Actionscript Instead Of 10000 Frames, Please Help
Hi

I am making a game in Flash with an artificial pet as a main character.

I would like to personalize the pet by letting the user choose between a lot of different clothing combination. Trying to keep the file size (and amount of work) low, I look for a way to let the pet have different clothing combination without me having to make every animation with every possible combination of clothes(that would result in a huge amount of frames).

Perhaps there's a way to use actionscript, e.g. having the body as an object and the choices of combinations as different values put on the object, instead of just painting every combination out for every step the pet takes (in 10000 frames)?

Does anyone (understand what I mean and know how I can accomplish this?

I am soooo grateful for any suggestions!

Using Actionscript To Disable Frames?
I have a simple actionsrcript line to enlarge a picture on rollOver, go back to original state on Rollout, and to enlarge on mouseclick; I have done this to over 7 different pictures, making a gallary.

My question is.

When the user clicks on the picture for it to enlarge and give details about it, the user can accidently hover over the other alpha 0 pictures, messing up the whole thing.

Is there anyway to also add a script disabling the other frames/pictures when the user clicks on a picture?

Right now I have only added the _alpha, making them invisible, but they can still be hovere'd over.

(I am using flash mx 2004)

Actionscript Buttons & Frames
This post is actually a couple of questions in one. I am currently building an all flash site using mainly actionscipt to handle all of the motions and actions etc. No big deal there. The root movie has 2 keyframes, in frame 1 and in frame 2.

Frame 1 of the root movie clip handles the loading of the entire movie background and stage resizing events. On the completion of the background tween the actionscript allows the root movie to gotoAndPlay the next frame, frame 2.

I have no issues within the first frame of the root move clip, so we'll move on the second frame.

The second frame contains actionscript code that actually begins to build the site, i.e. it attaches the logo and tweens it in, the navigation bars etc. Again, there's not any issues here as everything works as I would like.

Within this second frame of the main movie clip, the code also attaches all of the navigation buttons for the movie. Here is where some of the problems arise.

First: The root movie has no problems attaching the buttons in the navigation bars (which are nothing but rectangles) as follows:


ActionScript Code:
_root.attachMovie("btn_Button1", "button1", _root.getNextHighestDepth());

I can even access the button with code like the following:


ActionScript Code:
button1.onRelease = function ()...

Again, no problem as far as this is concerned and all of these buttons work fine. However, I do attach other buttons when one button is called. For example.

button1.onRelease = function(){
_root.attachMovie("btn_Button2", "button2", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
}

When I attempt to access this second button like this:


ActionScript Code:
button2.onRelease = function()...

nothing happens. It won't even trace something out; it's as if the button doesn't exist, yet I can see it when I test my movie. This has thrown me for a loop as it doesn't make any since why button2 won't work.

Second: For code readiblity, I would like to create another keyframe in frame 3 of the root movie and place all of the button handler functions in this frame. So essentially all of the buttons are created in frame 2, but are handled in frame 3 (onRelease events etc.). Whenever I move the button code (onRelease etc) to frame 3 they stop working. Any ideas? I find this weird as the code in frame 1 will resize items that aren't created until frame 2.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Concept Re: Frames & Actionscript
Hi, I have a question.

I have several layers containing different code.
I would like to know if flash "loops" when reading the actionscript, i.e. when it's done reading all the layers, does it go back and read layer 1 of code?

if there are several loops in the coding, could it cause the computer to crash?

Javascript, Actionscript, And Frames... Oh My
Bear with me while I explain my mess...

I have a button that opens up a frameset window in a new window.

The frameset has two horizontal frames. In the lower frame, i have buttons.swf, and in the upper frame i have nothing.

When the user clicks a button in the lower frame, it opens a .mov file in the upper frame, however the .mov file is much too large.

So, in order to resize it, i have a little JavaScript script for the upper frame. The problem is that the movie location is dynamically made in ActionScript, and is stored into a variable based on which buttons the user clicks.

So, this whole jumble brings me to the question:

How do I use the
ActionScript Code:
getURL("javascript:function("+link+")");
in buttons.swf (which is on the bottom frame) so that calls the function from the upper frame?

Thank you so much for your time, and please help!

ActionScript Repeating Certain Frames
Hello again.

I'm looking for some actionscript that'd let me repeat a certain layer over and over again, not stopping?

I'm atrociously clueless at ActionScript and can only do... stop();

Could someone please help me? Or at the very least point me in the right direction.

Thanks alot

New Sound On Frames (actionscript)
I have been working on a flash animation that plays different sound files on each frame. (Either in the main timeline or in a separate movie clip).

I was hoping that would work:

Code:
if (caps._currentframe == 1) {
speech.loadSound("track1.mp3", true);
}
else if (caps._currentframe == 2) {
speech.loadSound("track2.mp3", true);
}
else if (caps._currentframe == 3) {
speech.loadSound("track3.mp3", true);
}
However, only the first file plays - since it's on the first frame. When tracing _currentframe, only the first frame is traced. I got next and back buttons that user clicks to move to the different frames.

PSEUDO code of what I want (all in the 1st actionscript frame)
If this frame = 1, play sound 1;
If this frame = 2, play sound 2;
if this frame = 3, play sound 3;

By having all of these in the first frame, I can more easily (I hope) do a pause/mute button. And the code will all be in one place instead of scattered across different MCs and frames.

NOTE:
I can just attach the sound file to the different key frame and it works fine. Or use actionscript on each key frame and it works ok. However, turning allowing the user to turn the sound OFF isn't working well (it "unmutes" in every frame).
Again, my goal is to control all sounds from the 1 keyframe.

Thank you in advance.

Mp3 Import Error? Mp3 Converted To .swf?
Hey guys I only use flash mx but every time i try to import an mp3 no matter what bit rate it's at it says it can't load it... Also i found a tutorial on the site about a small little mp3 autoplayer. one that auto starts when the site starts, but the song is kept in a "data.swf" file... I t never said how to make the mp3 known as the data.swf file... I can't seem to figure it out. I figured you just import it and let that be it but i can't figure it out. All tutorials ive seen on the subject start with ones that you have to click play or load the mp3 seperate.

Any help would be much appreciated

AVI Converted To FLV Shows Up As White
I'm trying to convert a short avi file into a flash video format for use on a sign language video website, and the test video (test.avi) is showing up as white with no navigation controls. That's the same whether I view it with flash viewer, import it into flash 8 or embed it as media in dreamweaver. I can view the avi file fine normally. The avi is 1.5MB and the flv is .5MB. What could the issue be? Flash Video Encoder was able to see the file and I was able to scrub and clip it.

Thanks!

Should All Graphics Be Converted To Symbol
I am somewhat new to Flash. I drew 15 boxes for a gallery display. Should I create each of those boxes into a symbol????

I plan to place an image in each box and will convert each image into a symbol -- because when one clicks onto an image, that image will become larger for better viewing. The box will not become larger, only the image.

Am I correct in thinking that the box should not be converted to a symbol because it is not going to do anything but stay put in its position?

Hoping for a reply.

Problem With Converted Flv File
I have never run into this before so I'm not sure what to do. I had to convert all of our training videos from wmv to flv. I know, double compression and all that yuck. Unfortunately the people who originally recorded these videos didn't keep the source files so I had no choice. Anyway, what's going on is that when it loads in the player I cannot use the seek bar. If I click anywhere in the seek bar to try and move the playhead, it resets back to the beginning. These were all converted with the flash cs3 video encoder. Any ideas what would be going on? Thanks.

Protecting Swf Content Converted From Ppt
A customer has MS PowerPoint content that he wants to (a) present as an swf file and (b) prevent users from downloading the content and reposting it elsewhere.

He has obtained a third-party ppt-to-swf product (FlashPoint) and generated swfs, but apparently he can't protect the content in this format.

The files are quite long (over 100 slides apiece). Any suggestions?

FWIW, I'm running Flash CS3 on XP Professional.
