Issue With Walk Cycles
This one barely belongs in the AS thread.
I'm working on a Flash file in which I need to have an object switch between different sets of animation. To do this, I have the end of each set of frames gotoAndPlay() back to the first one in the set. My issue is that using goToAndPlay seems to cause Flash to play the previous frame over the last one (causing an ugly pause effect). I've fooled around with a few things (doing it in AS2 skips a frame all together, which I never remembered being a problem) but I've come up completely empty. Playing it on loop without any AS results in a perfect loop.
You're help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Sandy
Is There Any Tutorial To Walk You Through Flash?
I'm using Flash 5, and I did all the lessons that come with Flash, and I took one of the beginners tutorials that are featured here at Flash Kit.
I want to learn, but these tutorials aren't thorough enough, or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. I've learned to add sound and export/publish (or something kind of like it) on my own but I'm desperate to learn action scripting which I assume is mandatory in building a site with Flash and interactivity. How/where can I learn this? Are there examples anywhere with codes that I can look at as a guide?
Where did all of the mods and people who know Flash learn it?
Thanks in advance
Walk Cycle Tutorial
I'm starting working on a small flash game (my first actually) and the first thing I want to tackle is a walk cycle for my character. I want the game to have an old side scroller feel (think Mario). Is there a tutorial out there for how to do that? Or can someone give me some quick tips?
One of my questions is, to get that old 8-bit feel should I create my artwork in a graphics program as pixels and bring it into flash as gifs or make them in flash as vector art?
[MX] Platform Game: Object Character Can Walk On+not Walk Through. Hittest?
I'm making an art-based ( hence me not minding where I get the code) game in Flash MX. (non tile, side view)
I need a bit of actionscript to add to the character/object so it can't walk throught the object, and can walk on it. To be applied to stairs, blocks, etc.
This is the actionscript for the character( I used a open source fla from this site to make it, and I changed all the images to a different character) The code works, but I want to add some code to it to make it stop when it hits an object, and be able to walk on the object. Or code to add to the object itself.
onClipEvent (load) {
move = 0;
lock = true;
}
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
this.mario.play();
}
onClipEvent (keyUp) {
this.mario.gotoAndStop(1);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (move == 0) {
if (lock) {
this._x += Xstep;
Ystep = 0;
Xstep = 0;
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
Xstep = -10;
Ystep = 0;
this.gotoAndStop("left");
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
Xstep = 10;
Ystep = 0;
this.gotoAndStop("right");
}
}
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
render();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
for (i in _root) {
if (i.substring(0, 4) == "coin") {
if (this.hitTest(_root[i])) {
_root[i].gotoAndStop(2);
_root.score += 1;
}
}
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
for (i in _root) {
if (i.substring(0, 0) == "bad") {
if (this.hitTest(_root[i])) {
_root.lives -= 1;
if (_root.lives == 0) {
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
}
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
for (i in _root) {
if (i.substring(0, 4) == "save") {
if (this.hitTest(_root[i])) {
_root[i].gotoAndStop(2);
_root.score += 10;
}
}
}
}
So You Can Walk The Walk But Can You Trace The Walk
Hi fellow Flashers,
WOW I believe this is my first time here on this beloved message board where I am not asking a scripting question.
What I would like to know is how I can go about tracing a sequence from a video import. To explain further say I import a video of a person walking and I want to create a vector copy of that so in fact the vector is walking.
Can this be done easily aand how.I saw it in a magazine but there descriptiinb was vague. If anyone knows of a tute or has a good easy and effective way of doing this then please relpy.
Cheers Pixelmagikau

Looking For A Good Tutorial
I'm trying to learn about getting data in and out of flash and accessing a database. Unfortunately the book I'm using is old and is using ASP and Windows server for uploading the database and the scripted page. I don't have a Windows server and the only place I can store these files is my online webhost @ powweb.com which doesn't run ASP.
My question is, does anyone know any good tutorials that make use of a database, a scripted page (PHP would be my guess) and Flash MX? If you do I'd appreciate the link and will send you virtual chocolate. Thanks.

Looking For A Good Tutorial
I am trying to make a website kind of like JK Rowlings Harry Potter site. Not necessarily as complex, but I would like to be able to turn lights and stuff on/off, a radio you can turn on and off and plays music, a clock that shows the users local time and the local time of some other location, have a hidden message appear when i turn on a lamp, etc. Also, animation when items are moused over or clicked and be able to link to other parts of the site. I am trying to find an easy to understand/follow tutorial. I am willing to learn whatever, but I am totally new. If I need to follow a few tutorials thats cool, I'm not intimidated just new. Please if anyone can link a beginner's tutorial and any other tutorials to help me accomplish these things let me know. Thanks!!
Need A Good PHP - AS3 Tutorial
I am stuck guys. I am trying to find a good step by step procedure to set up a simple PHP connection in Flash CS3.
I just need a simple mySQL set up. A simple PHP setup. and the ActionScript Code to make the connections. I have tried Flash Gods, Adobe, all my tutorials and nothing is working. Even the ActionScript Bible has errors in the code in the book.
I am very good with Flash AS2 and I am trying to learn AS3 but this is very frustrating. I cannot get a connection between the Flash -- PHP -- and MySQL.
Does anyone know of any good step by steps to take me through it. Anything simple will do from there, once I get it working I can move forward.
I really appreciate it. Thanks for the help in advance.

Need A Good Bar Preloader Tutorial
hi,
i need to get my hands on a good tutorial for a bar preloader, i've searched flashkit and the tutorials are either not what i'm looking for, or they skip steps and automatically assume you know what they did, so if someone could give me a good descriptive tutorial that goes through all the steps of creating a bar preloader it would be great. i'm not exactly stupid when it comes to action scripting but i'm not a genius either...
thanx
Good Tutorial For Cgi/forms?
hi,
i've been looking for a good tutorial on creating a form in flash and sending variables to a cgi script. last time i tried this, i could not, for the life of me, get it to work, so i ended up just making a contact page with an email link. but this is a different client, and i really want to be able to get it to work this time. does anyone know of a really good tutorial out there, one that shows how to send variables to the cgi script, and also doesn't require editing of the cgi script? (i found what seemed like a good one, but they made you edit the cgi script!)
thanks so much,
heather
A Good Xml/flash Tutorial
Hey everyone, and sorry for bothering you - I rarely ask for help, but i just can't figure this out!
I always hear of dynamically updating flash sites. I know that you can do it through a text file... but i want to be able to parse links, add images...
well i dont know what i want to do, but i know that i'll definitely have an easier time if i knew XML.
so does anyone know of a good tutorial for XML?
basically, i'm a 3d artist who's trying to develop his portfolio. for my news/main portion, i want to be able to add links in my dynamic updating.
i also possibly want to be able to update my gallery with the use of XML - if its possible.
see, i dont know what XML can do for me... but i know it can at least solve my links problem. i think.
heh, anyway, if anyone can help me out, that'd be great.
thanks

Looking For A Good Basic Tutorial...
I'm an actionscripting newbie, and I'm working on a pretty simple little animation that I'd like to practice on. There are about a dozen events that make up the animation - things sliding in, fading up, etc - and I've successfully managed to get pretty close to what I want with each element. But now I want to put it together, and have one event happen after another. Does anyone know of a simple tutorial that would outline how to make this happen?
Oops, that would be for Flash 8 Actionscript 2.0
Thanks!
Looking For A Good Tutorial Or Hint....
I think the movie I want to make is somewhat easy....just looking for a little guidance.....the basic premise is a square with four flaps. One at a time each of the four flaps opens. When the movie is done the backside of each flap is opened and the center square (picture a box taken apart type thing.
The effect I want is....as the first flap (for example) opens you begin to see the backside of it....obviousely when its opened all the way you will see the entire backside of the flap.
Any hints?
Thank you!

Kirupa Tutorial Good?
Any comments abt Kirupa tutorials??
I had tried few of Kirupa tutorials and I found the tutorial is not tht complete or not user friendly.
I prefer more tutorial on the picture tht enable us to follow step by step rather than looking at lots of explanation tht can't help us to see the outcome.
I did follow the instructions, but in the end the output is totally difffent frm the tutorial one because it lacks of guideline.
I am very happy with the provided tutorials but I am very disappointed when I can't make it workable.
And, sometimes the ready made flash file enabled us to download also made me confuse. Don't knw how they make it n jz blindly follow the instructions in order to get the output.
When ppl ask you how to do this/tht part n your answer is "I dunno, I downloaded it frm Kirupa tutorial". ...
May b it's my problems to understand the tutorials but I jz want to share with you all my opinion abt the Kirupa tutorials.
Pls do not hesitate to rp and share with us ur comments, thanks!!

Looking For A Good Mp3 Player Tutorial Or Example
I would like to create an mp3 player but my history with flash has almost no audio experience. Can anyone point me to a useful tutorial or example to work from?
The flash player needs load mp3's dynamically via .txt or xml and use the ID3 info to get the necessary information: artist, title, etc. I need the basic functionality of an mp3 player: play, stop, pause, fast forward, rewind, next/previous track, and would like it to have the option of playing continuously (like a playlist) except instead of selecting a group of songs to play, just start from the first selected mp3 then continue through the txt or xml list.
Any help would be great!
Thanks
