Flash :: [flash 8] As Tweening Reversal Problem

Reversal Of Menu
Hi Folks,

Hope I can get a little coding help...

I have the following AS for a dropdown menu (see attached text file), which I got from the forums a while ago, that works just fine, but I've been trying to make it work so that when you rollOver it, it opens UP not down.

(I've also modified the btnsMenu MC so that the embedded buttons, which were one above the other in the original example, are now side-by-side from right to left.)

I've tried changing a few things around like exchanging the btnsMenu_top and _bottom values, the btnsMenu_left and _right values, and making the y_stop a negative number and so forth but I'm not getting the results I want.

Am I going in the right direction here?

A little advise, please.

Peace
Jose Antonio

Buttons Reversal On Rollout?
does anyone know where i can find a tutorial or a chapter in a book that shows how to reverse a button animation on rollout?

right now, i have a button animation. it works fine on rollover. what i want to do is have it reverse on rollout. i tried setting it up so that when it rolls out it goes to a frame i set that has the same animation, but backwards. the problem is that when the mouse rolls out of the button the animation stops and the button immediately goes back to how it was before. i want it to keep playing the reversal animation until the animation sequence is finished, even if they are rolling over other buttons.

i'm so-so with writing actionscrpt at this point but i definitely understand it when i see it. so if anyone knows how to do it in with actionscript or can point me in the right direction that'd be cool!

thanks for any help

Reversal Random Fading Grid
Hello. I played around with Voetsjoeba's modified random fading grid (http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/sh...hreadid=47220&) as code and the
results were just what I was looking for. What changes would I have to
make in order to achieve the reversal of it? For example, let's say I
have an image and I want to 'fade it out' with this random fading grid
effect. Each box would fade into a 'white box' until the whole
background is white. I tried playing around with the alphas but
couldn't find any luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
so much!

Code:
// Array to store the number of the movieclips
var mcs_array:Array = new Array();

// Prototype to randomize an array
Array.prototype.randomize = function() {
return this.sort(function (a, b) {
return (Math.floor(Math.random()*2) == 0) ? 1 : -1;
});
};

/*** DECLARE VARIABLES ***/

// Sets the height and width of the box
box._width = box._height = 196;

// The amount of horizontal and vertical space between each box in the grid
xspacing = box._width;
yspacing = box._height;

// The initial depth of the boxes
depth = 0;

// Sets the original box's visible property to false, making it invisible
box._visible = 0;

// Sets the border's visible property to false, making it invisible
border._visible = 0;

// The number that a box must reach before the following one starts to fade. The higher this number, the faster they will start fading and the smoother the effect will be
smoothness = 90;

/*** CALCULATE POSITIONS AND VALUES ***/

// Divides the width of the image by the width of the box, and rounds it upwards
amH = Math.ceil(image._width/box._width);

// Divides the height of the image by the height of the box, and rounds it upwards
amV = Math.ceil(image._height/box._height);

// Sets the height of the border, which is the height of the image + 1, to make sure that it would be nice and clear
border._height = (image._height+1);

// Sets the width of the border, which is the width of the image + 1, to make sure that it would be nice and clear
border._width = (image._width+1);

// Sets the x position of the border to the x position of the image. Since we added 1 to the width of the border, we will now move it half that value (1) to the left, so 0.5, to have the same space left and right between the border and the image
border._x = (image._x-0.5);

// Does the same but for the heights
border._y = (image._y-0.5);

/*** CREATE GRID ***/

for (i=0; i<amH; i++) {
for (var k = 0; k<amV; k++) {
box.duplicateMovieClip("box"+depth, depth);
cur = this["box"+depth];
cur._x = image._x+(xspacing*i);
cur._y = image._y+(yspacing*k);
mcs_array.push(depth);
depth++;
}
mcs_array.randomize(); // Randomize array
}

/*** FUNCTIONS ***/

function fadeOut(startboxnr, speed) {
fadeMC(startboxnr, speed);
}

function fadeMC(mcnr, speed) {
this["box"+mcnr].onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha -= speed;
if (this._alpha<=smoothness) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
continueFade(this, speed);
fadeOut(mcs_array.pop(), speed); // Fade out the last element from the array
}
};
}

function continueFade(mc, speed) {
mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha -= speed;
if (this._alpha<=0) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}

fadeOut(mcs_array.pop(), 5); // Start fading the last element fof the array

Script Check For Timeline Reversal
Okay...

I've read some other threads on this but I still can't get it to work.

I have a movie called MC_message, that I need to play in reverse

on (release)

I have created another mC called rev_cliploop, the instance name on the stage and level of MC_message is called revloop. I have tried both exporting and not exporting the mC.

In the rev_cliploop mC I went with the three frame method described in another thread:

Frame 1
stop();

Frame 2
MC_message.prevFrame();

Frame 3
gotoAndPlay(2);

In the MC_message mC I have a button with the following code

on (release) {
revloop.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

Now...According to my understanding this should call my instance of revloop that resides on my stage and play it starting at frame 2. This means I should immediately see the loop from that mC making MC_message go backwards. However, when I click on my button...nothing happens...

I'm feeling frustrated because I haven't been able to get anything correct it seems. It's discouraging...

Tweening Alpha Fade Without Tweening?
can this be done in one frame with a loop?

i have tried searching for anything like this in the movies and on the board.. guess i am just not asking the right question to the search engine....

anyway,
i have a button. onRollOver i would like to get the current _alpha of a moveclip (MC) and increase the _aplha of that clip by an increment to 100.

onRollOut this process would reverse.

i would like this to all happen in one frame if possible with the ability to set the speed of the fade through a variable.

definately not asking anyone to do this for me (unless you are feeling generous, haha) but at least point me in the right direction.

thanks.

Tweening In Flash 6
How can I make a tweening in flash?

Although I work with flash for 3 years.
I can't make a tweening.

Flash tutorial doesn't help me.
As I follows the tutorial, it shows a dotted line instead
of solid line.

Whenver I make a tweening in a time line,
It shows a dotted line instead of solid line.
That has been my problem for 3 years.

I think that now is the time I have to solve the problem.

Will you help me?
I want the simplest example procedure of making tweening in detail.

Thanks in advance

Can I Do AS Tweening In Flash MX V6.0 ?
hi guys - I'm just trying to do some moves using AS. Pretty simple moves, just a menu where the buttons move to the side when pressed. I found a write up on using Tween classes in flash MX 2004, but I don't think my Flash is 2004 :-(

Is my only option to do something like "_x +=10" every frame until a point?

I'd really like to be able to use something like those tween classes,,,, so much easier :-)

Thanks once again

Flash MX - Tweening Help
Hi everyone.

I am having a problem with a motion tween in Flash MX (not 2004).

I have one keyframe with a very small image in the center, and another keyframe about 20 frames ahead that has the same image, much larger.

Now, ONCE yesterday I got it to work, but what I want is to create a tween that makes the small image transform into the larger one. I did it once, and now I can't figure out how to do it. All it does is rotate the little one and then go straight into the large, it doesn't gradually move to the large image.

Anyone help me???

Flash CS4 Tweening
My agency is using Flash CS4 and i want to create an animation.

Its very hard to use the new functions for tweening. especially movements with acceleration. in the past i create in 10 minutes a tween with all i need, fast start, slow mid and fast end. (reverse acceleration)
now... its also possible... but takes so long. even 1 hour.

an alternative seem to be the "classic tweening" ...but there are less options as in CS3. ->no acceleration possible in the CS3-manner.

i think i didnt understand the new functions completely... is there a mentioned (by adobe) benefit for tweening...?
why is it as it is?

thanks!

Edit: Sorry for the 3 Posts! My Browser was it... :-)

[F8] Flash 8 Tweening Problem...
Hi All,

Hopefully someone can help. I just d/l'ed the Flash 8 testdrive version and am trying to fade in/fade out images. I can't figure what I'm doing wrong:

1. I import the import the image to the stage then keyframe.
2. I F8 it to convert to MC.
3. I click to highlight the frame to where I want it to tween (fade in or fade out) then touch the image

When I touch the image, the highlighted frame then jumps to a previous image/MC that's already been tweened. It's random on which image/MC it seems to jump to. I've tried saving, exiting, and restarting, same result.

Anyone have a fix for this?

Thanks much!

Motion Tweening: CS4 Vs Flash 8
Hello,

I've been using flash 8 all my life and decided to try CS4 for a change. Everything is still roughly the same but I found it hard to create motion tweens. In flash 8, I could somehow slide the keyframes of a motion tween along the timeline but in CS4, I can't!

Anybody know how I can accomplish that? thanks.

Flash 8 Tweening Prototypes?
Does anyone know where I can find some Tweening Prototypes that work in Flash 8? I was trying to use my old ones ( http://laco.wz.cz/tween/?page=download ) but they dont work in 8.

It sort of works, but it will only allow me to move somehting one time. If I try to slideTo or tween() anything more than once, the seccond and third and so on doesnt work.

Any know how to fix that? Or of some other tweening prototypes compatible with Flash 8?

Thanks!

Tweening Text On Flash
Hi Everyone
As some of you might guess I’m working on a website…
Unfortunately, and due to the fact that I’m not really a flash pro

I came into some problems…

And this time my problem is as follows:

I’m adding to a "contact" flash page a text (which was edited on freehand – and was exported as swf). The text is 12 lines long… and it’s heavy on the flash engine… (even though the swf file weights 8k) I combined the text with tweening somewhat like 10 frames fade in… now, it moved so, so slowly… it’s embarrassing… is there some sort of a solution to this problem?

Is there some sort of script that will enable a faster tweening movement?

Any help/ideas will be much appreciated

Flash 8 Pro AS Tweening Problem
Hi there.

I am creating a banner and am fairly new to ActionScript. I want the user to the banner to scroll over a ball, ActionScript to tween it to center stage and then when the user scrolls away from the ball, it then moves back to it's original position.

At the moment, I experimented with a Boolean to stop the tween being actioned twice while it is in motion, but i can't quite get it straight.

Do i need to use a listener to change a boolean when it is in motion? I'm just so stuck.

Can anyone help me with this?

I hope you can help.

Flash Tweening Sources
Is there a place where you can download different shapes and things for tweening? What I mean is the different kinds of effects that appear while tweening.

In particular I'm looking for effects that will be used for transitioning from one photo to another.

Flash MX Motion Tweening Problem
Hey,

I just converted over to Flash MX from Flash 5 and whenever I try to make a motion tween in an animated symbol (the symbol animate in its own timeline) It makes the little line on the time line all broken and it doesnt animate right. All it does is show the first key frame til it hits the last. Is Flash MXs way of making animated symbols different from Flash 5 or is there glitch in my software?

Thanks

How Problematic Is Tweening Gradients In Flash?
I have a symbol of a gradient faded from white to zero alpha.
I have a bunch of copies of it, and they are motion tweened on the main timeline.

I'm worried that this will slow everything down and be taxing on processors. Is this true?

Any way around this?

Thanks.

Shape Tweening With Flash MX 2004
I'm trying to create a shape tween. I want a (1) jpg picture to transform to the other (2) jpg picture...and its not working!!

This is what I'm doing (by the way I tried the tutorials and they don't work for me):

1. The tween is in a movie clip. So I've created the Movie Clip and i've double clicked it so I'm in its Frame 1.

2. I put the 1st jpg picture in the stage ((Key) Frame 1) and break apart.

3. Go to Frame 24, insert keyframe and delete the 1st jpg and put the 2nd jpg. Again break apart 2nd jpg.

4. I select all frames create shape tween. Distributive.

5. The long arrow appears going from frame 1 to 23 and 24 having the black dot.

But the 1st jpg doesnt morph into the other! The 2nd jpg just appears at frame 24!! I fiddle about with Distributive or Angluar and the ease settings but nothing happens to fix this problem!

Can anyone please help????

Thanks!

I have extension manager 1.7, and the documentation that is available says it needs 1.6 with mx2004. I have read that that people have been using it with Flash 8.

Flash 8, SwapDepths() Tweening Problem
Hi all,
I am working on a slide show where the slides overlap. When a new slide is accessed, it slightly overlaps the previously accessed one (which is scaled down and moved slightly to give the illusion that it is being pushed back). The problem occurs when I try to use swapDepths() to make the new active slide appear over the old active one, the 2 movie clips that this function is applied on pause and continually swap depths with each other for the remainder of the movie. I read in the documentation that all tweening stops when this function is called. Is there anyway to bypass this and achieve the effect that I am looking for? Below is my code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

function SwapMovie(movie1:MovieClip, movie2:MovieClip)
{
movie1.swapDepths(movie2);
}

SwapMovie(owl, robin);

Easy Flash Deeplinking With Tweening
Hi Guys, I've been using this forum for ages now, and I've been meaning to contribute something here, but aside from not having time I usually feel pretty lame compared to some of the geniuses on here! Anyway I've finally found something I thought people might find useful, as I know when I was trying to figure out how to impliment it in a client project I'd have loved to have found something like this... Anyhow, enough talking! It's basically just an easy way to incoorperate deeplinking into flash projects if you're using tweens to move your pages around, it's based on Ex Animo's statemanager and uses the Fuse tween engine to tween things...

Hope it helps anyone !

Liam

Download it here

UPDATED:

Now It uses SwfAddress 2 to power the deeplinking - I've not had a good look at the new features, but it's updated to what the old one could do.

Flash: Shape Tweening Between Two JPEG's?
Hi,

I'm working with Flash 5 (soon upgrading to Flash MX).

I'm hoping a Flash Master out there can explain why I can't shape tween between two JPEG's converted to Symbols? In fact, no matter what the objects are on the stage (SWF's, bmp's "broken apart", etc) or what method (motion tween, shape tween) I simply can't get a tween from one image to another image (images are same dimensions and both JPEG's).

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,

Text Motion Blur Tweening In Flash
Hi guys,

I know that this has been asked alot of time and i do search the forum but non of the effects is really what i am looking for.

I do already have the 2 images(motion blur and normal).
Now, how do I create a motion blur tweening in flash mx?

I have tried the following using movie symbol:
TIMELINE
|111111|22222|33333|

1. motion blur picture with ease 100 in
2. normal picture
3. motion blur picture with ease 100 out

but the effect is not what I am looking for.
Its kind of difficult to put in words what i am looking for.

What I want is a non-moving motion blur tweening from motion blur to normal and stay as it is.

Would appreciate if anyone can help or provide any kind of links/resources.
Pardon me if this might sound lame, cos I am still new to flash.
Thanks.

Tweening Illustrator Graphics In Flash MX 2004
Is it possible to tween Adobe Illustrator (CS) graphics that have been imported into Flash? Without altering them *in* Flash, that is.

I can select the graphic and apply color changes, and tween those, but that's not what I'm after.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Limitations Of Flash, But Specifically Of Tweening Along A Path
I find that a lot of my time learning Flash is wasted because I'm headed down a dead-end street. In other words, the Flash documentation mainly tells you what you can do with movieclips, layers, tweens, etc. but often I find it omits things that you cannot do. Pardon me while I digress into a tirade...

For example, I kept trying to use removemovieclip without setting the depth of the mc to a positive number first. But this little bit of info wasn't on the removeMovieClip function help page (LiveDocs ) but after many unsuccessful attempts I finally found that information on the removeMovieClip (MovieClip.removeMovieClip method) help page (LiveDocs).

I find it irritating that I have to go on a little scavenger hunt every time something's not working out when the code looks A-OK. I mean, I think this particular morsel of information should have been included on the removeMovieClip function help page. One sentence. It's not adding all that much more length to the help documentation.

Or perhaps an appendix, filled with things you cannot do in Flash. Like draw one continuous scribbly line that crosses over and over itself without joining the lines together with anchor points, into one big mess of a shape.

So, here's my question(s) about Tweening along a path:

Can I draw a scribbly path that crosses back over itself and have my movie clip meander along? Or is it because Flash combines shapes/paths automatically (unlike Illustrator) which is ruining my little plan for having my mc meander? So what's happening here? Is the anchor point that Flash automatically throws in there when a line crosses over another line basically creating a "fork in the road" that's confusing the tween as to which way to go?

Second question of what it seems I can't do...

Inside my movieclip (mc_1) I've created a tween (with ball_mc) along a path. Works great. But when I drag mc_1 to the stage, the motion tween does not appear when I test movie.

SO. I'm assuming I can't have tweening along a path within a movieclip? I have to specifically create the motion tween along a path on the stage, creating multiple frames, when I only want one?

Does Tweening run faster / better when the Tweened MovieClip object is kept as a tweened object,...or when it is 'Broken' back to MovieClip ?

[Flash 8] Tweening Transitions With Dynamic Text
Hiya,

I am back to working on a site that was put on hold for some time, and now I have forgotten everything I learned to build it in the first place, so I apologize in advance if this question seems a little confused.

The site has three pages -- Home, Work, and About. The transitions between the pages are animated using imported tween and easing transitions (hope that vocabulary works).

My transitions work using if/then statements such as:

if (about_txt._alpha!=0) {
aboutTxtFade = new Tween (about_txt, "_alpha", Regular.easeIn, about_txt._alpha, 0, .5, true);
}

It works for the most part, but I have run into a problem with a dynamic text box (about_txt, see above example) on the About page, which is meant to fade (alpha) in when you transition to the page, and fade out when you transition away from the page. The problem comes up if you click on the About link, and then click on another link before the About page has fully loaded -- the About text will fade to alpha=0, but then it will pop back to alpha=100 and stay there sitting on top of the Home or Work page until you click to About, let it load fully, and then click away.

I would greatly greatly appreciate any help with understanding how to avoid this issue.

Thank you so much,

Kate

Tweening From Outside Browser In Full Screen Flash
Last edited by Gam : 2006-03-08 at 07:19.

Here is a perfect example of what i mean... http://www.dopeawards.com/

The tween would always be a different position based on whatever the browser/resolution size was.

How do i load a mc symbol from in the library onto the screen with actionscript or do i have to create a seperate swf with the mc symbol in and then load that in with loadMovie at a negitve value.

If the mc symbol was already on the pasteboard i could probably do it but i want to LOAD it in off the pasteboard/browser so the user cannot see it THEN tween it in to view. I'd like it so that no matter what the full screened flash browser size is its always tweening in from just off the screen.

P.S: Im using the laco/robert penner tweens, i dont know if this makes a difference, sorry i am n00bish.

I hope that makes scense. Thanks
