Onion Skin Animation
My current project is of a basic slider that slides it's x positon by chasing a marker. I think it would be cool if the slider had an onion skin effect when it moves. (trails behind it when it moves) The thing is I'm not sure how to go about duplicating the slider so it gets this effect.

slider code:------------
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
slider = getProperty ("_root.slider",_x);
marker = getProperty ("_root.marker",_x);
dif1x = marker - slider;
step1 = dif1x / 3;
setProperty ("_root.slider", _x, slider + step1);
}
------------------

Thanks ahead of time for any help or suggestions.

[CS3] Changes To FLVPlayback Skin Not Taking Effect
This is really strange. I have a custom FLVPlayback skin that I modified after loading the fla file. I published the .swf and placed it in the relative directory. I double checked to ensure that the assignment of the customeSkin.swf is the same as the actual customeSkin.swf.

When I load the customeSkin.swf from my directory, is shows the changes. When I test the .fla that is using the customeSkin.swf, I still see the default colors. This leads me to believe that there is something wrong with the code in the .fla that is loading the customeSkin.swf.

Code:
video.skin = "customeSkin.swf"; // assignment of the custom skin
any ideas?

Onion Skins? Help
ok,

ive seen lots of this stuff. i know that everyone knows what i mean when i say onion skins, and i could probabaly figure it out if i wanted to sit on my computer for the rest of the day, unfortunatley, im at school, and im too lazy so, what i want to do, is make a ball move across the screen followed by 15 more balls, each being a little bit more transparent. then, have the ball stop, and all the balls gather behind it. im pretty sure i would have to use the duplicateMovie action along with a variable set up to make each clip with more alpha, but ive never dealt with the duplicate Movie action. please help me out.

Onion Skinning?
Can someone tell me the basics of onion skinning?

Onion Skinning Getting In The Way.
I have 100 frames, made in 3ds max 7 and imported into flash as a .png sequence. I then converted each frame into a trace bitmap, pretty high quality ones. now, as to make the sequence all the right size, I attempt to use the 'edit multiple frames' tool next to the onion skin button only to find that my computer lags like no other after selecting about 30 frames. each one of these images is too high quality for flash to handle when all selected at once, and all i want to do is scale all 10 layers down a little bit at the same time.

Is there a way to turn the onion skinning effect off completely, so I don't have this problem?

Help With Skin
Is there any way that the swf file can load variables from the HTML page it is in? I need the flash to retrieve the variables from the page which it is placed in, and I cannot use the param name tags, instead I can only use the &variablename=blahblahblah technique as it is more user-friendly. The filename of the HTML page will also change, anyone knows how to transfer the variables in an easier way without server-side scripting?
