Flash :: Smooth JPG Movement

Smooth Movement
Hey everyone,
I am producing a game where a gitty little dog runs around and does cool little quests. All is grand and dandy except for the most important part, the movement. I want him to be able to run over wavy hills, but my script doesnt allow that. It's very jigged. Basically my script sais
"when the dog touches these bounds, it will be pushed away from the bounds"

here is the script attached to the hills:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
with (_root.dog) {

if (hills.hitTest(getBounds(_root).xMax, _y, true)) {
_x -= 12;
}
if (hills.hitTest(getBounds(_root).xMin, _y, true)) {
_x += 12;
}
if (hills.hitTest(_x, getBounds(_root).yMax, _x, true)) {
_y -= 6;

}

}
}

My dog also is moved with the keys, this is a simple script that works fine, but the script attached to the hills is screwy.
I feel like totally deleting script, and taking a smoother one you guys tell me. I would like the dog to be able to run along the hills and rotate with their slope.
Can someone help? Anyone have previous history with side-scrolling games?

Smooth Movement?
What I am doing is moving a movie clip around on the stage when the user presses one of the arrow keys. Since I am moving it by a number of pixels each time the user presses the key the movement looks choppy, and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a way to do this so that the movement looks more smooth. A quick example of what I'm doing (although I'm sure you've already assumed this):

if ((Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT))) {
this._x += 20;
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Smooth ._y Movement
Hello all. I have a simple problem, which I'm sure can be resolved quite easily. I have a movie clip that's viewable through a mask, acting as a window for content. There are two buttons which move the movie clip up and down through the window, moving in increments of 5, but the user has to repeatedly press the button to make it keep moving, which is quite tedious.

Is there a way I can have the action repeat continuously as the user holds the button down, creating a smooth movement of the movie clip?

Much thanks.

How You Do That Smooth Movement?
Was just wondering how a lot of sites can do that smooth movement. Everytime I do motion tween with objects I get that slow rough stiffy movement.

Thanks.

Movement Not Smooth
Hi,

I have the following script in both frame 1 and 2 to let a movieclip move from right to left on the stage:

Code:
speed =-5
name._x += speed
if (name._x<-500) {
name._x = 250;
}
And the clip is indeed moving from right to left on the stage and when it reaches _x -550 it is going back to it's starting position _x 250 only the movement isn't smooth at all.

What should I do to make the movement more smooth or should I use a completely different script?

Thanks in advance

Key Movement Not Smooth... :(
Hi.
I´m looking for a way to code keyboard movement that is smooth. I mean, constant from the moment the key gets pressed to the moment it gets released. What I have now works like typing: u press the key, u get one glyph, then if u dont release after half a second or so u start typing lots of glyphs.
It will not do for caracter animation, and that is what i need to code.

Any ideas?

How To Get Smooth Movement
i have seen movies that have motion that seems way smoother than what i can get, i am thinking that there must be some better way to move things around, including open boxes, menus and such. anybody want to fill me in on the secret? simply putting in a motion tween is always jumpy, especially on fade ins and fade outs of images, even at 35 frames.

thanks folks

Help With Smooth Movement
I want to use an effect like the one on this site: http://www.federicafontana.it/index3.html

(Settle down boys Nice work, huh?)

That is, I like the way the small windows open. Can anyone lead me to how this is done? I suspect it is scripted vs. tweened, no? It'd be great if you can lead me to a site with some source.

Anyway, have fun on the site.

Thanks,

Truly Smooth Eased Movement
i was looking for how to script the smoothest movement possible myself and had to pull it together from a few places so i'm gonna post it here real quick

the problem is the jerkiness, all scripted movement or tweening is tied to frame rates, even at its best (an absolutely empty flash with one square box drawn on it) you can jerkiness in the movement, the higher you turn your fps the better it looks but the less likely it is to look that way to the user, fps overclocking isn't the answer

the solution is to use an equation triggered by the clock to control the movement with updateAfterEvent() at the end of the function that does the movement

using updateAfterEvent() with on mouseMove clip event produces a perfect cursor (windows movement), not a jerky one

so to move a clip called box along x:

Code:
// set variables needed to whatever
seconds = 5;
duration = seconds*1000;

x_start = 100;
x_target = 400;
startTime = getTimer();

function doMover() {
// calculate easing based on how much time has passed
var elapsedTime = getTimer()-startTime;
k = elapsedTime/duration;
if (k >= 1)
{
k = 1;
clearInterval(ih);
}
k = k*k*(3-2*k);
// apply easing
block._x = x_start+(x_target-x_start)*k;
// now don't wait for next frame
updateAfterEvent();
}

// call function at intervals
ih = setInterval(doMover,10);

this is just the heart of the code you need, jbum's favorite ease equation triggered by setInterval with updateAfterEvent() to make sure it doesn't have to wait for movie, use it to do anykind of easing - color, size, alpha

help me if i'm wrong!!! or if something could be better

Smooth Movement Using Keyboard
I'm making a platformer that uses WASD for movement, and I am using the form (using d to to move left as an example):
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.getAscii()==100){
this._x +=10;
}
}
The problem is that, when the key is held down, the MC moves a tiny bit to the right, sits for a second, then scrolls smoothly (like the speed things go when you hold down a letter key in a word processor) and i need it to scroll smoothly all the time. Any tips on how this can be accomplished? I am using MX 2004.

Smooth And 'flowing' Movement
Can anyone please give me tips on how to create smooth-flowing (just like in the cartoons) animations in Flash?

My problem is, when I create a tweening animation, the graphics seem to be choppy just like a GIF animation; the frame rate seem to "skip" along the way; evidently showing jerky movement.

Thanks for looking, I use Flash MX 2004.

Smooth & Random AS Movement
Hi Guys...

Here's the script:

xPos = this._x;
randomNum = Math.round(Math.random()*(max-min+1)+(min1));
trace(randomNum);
this._x = xPos+randomNum;
}

Im trying to move an object (like a cloud), smoothly and randomly across the screen...

But this is a bit jerky, any ideas?

Smooth Game Movement
Hey all,

I'm having issues with the characters and objects moving monumentally different between the standalone player and inside a browser. Obviously, the characters are moving significantly slower in the browser.

How can you correct this? How can I make the player move at the correct speed regardless of framerate (within a limit)? I can set the FPS to something like 90, but that's just a fix on my machine and won't make things smooth on other's necessarily.

Any tips and tricks to smooth movement?

Smooth Easing Movement
hi,

i'm using flash mx 2004, and i need a simple script that's easily customizable, where a button press would trigger a movie clip to move to certain point using easing, where it zooms out, then slows down as it reaches the point.

i'm starting to move into using more actionscript and less tweens for movement.

thanks.

Smooth Movement Sometimes Not Working
Hi everybody,

I have the code below, creating movements and changes of alpha values of three mc.
When I test the animation sometimes the animation is smooth, sometimes it isn't. Is there anything wrong with this code?
Thanks a lot

mc3._alpha = 0;
//
function fvmoving() {
mc1._xscale += (50 - mc1._xscale) * 0.3;
mc1._yscale += (50 - mc1._yscale) * 0.3;
mc1._y += (300 - mc1._y) * 0.3;
if (mc1._xscale > 50 - 1 && mc1._xscale < 50 + 1 && mc1._yscale > 50 - 1 && mc1._yscale < 50 + 1 && mc1._y > 300 - 1 && mc1._y < 300 + 1) {
mc1._xscale = 50;
mc1._yscale = 50;
mc1._y = 300;

Make Smooth Movement
One more question. I tried to create a floating effect on a big image using motion tween. When it moves, the movement is very jerky no matter how slow I make it by increasing the frame.

Is there any way to make the floating effect smooth? Thanks again for all the replies.

Smooth Randomly Generated Movement
Hi,

I want to display an object as if it was up in the air. I mean in “suspension”.
To do so I need to animate this object with smooth little movements generated randomly.

I get how to make move my object randomly with this :

//create the limits for the numbers
maxNum=.1;
minNum=-.1;
range=maxNum-minNum;
//Randomize
Xplus=minNum + Math.random();
Yplus=minNum + Math.random();
//Position changes
Button1._x = 25 + Xplus
Button1._y = 75 + Yplus

The thing is that the movements are not smooth.
I have tried to play with the value of “minNum” and also to divide the value returned by “Math.random()”, but even if the generated movements are smaller, they still are not smooth.

Could anyone give me some help on this ?

Hugues.

Smooth, Dynamic Movement Idea...
Well I haven't worked with actionscript for ages... Well in all honesty... all i really knew was the goto and play( commands
--

I was wondering if anyone would be able to enlighten me as to how i would go about performing the following:

I want, oh let's say three boxes. These boxes are independant of each other, and are sized and placed using actionscript. On a certain action: "onclick" let's say that i wanted the content of the boxes (which need not be contained within the "box" symbol) to be faded out, and then the boxes to move (again, independantly) to a new position, and a new size (and shape [ex. square, rectangle (sized)]). Any ideas?

Thanks

Smooth Movement Back And Forth With Math.cos()?
I have a movie clip called myBox. I want myBox to move back and forth repeatedly - left to right to left to right, etc. Now I know I could just write some IF statements to move it a certain number of pixels left and right when it gets to a certain point, but I actually want something smoother. I want myBox to slow down when it gets all the way to the right, come to a near stop, then slowly speed up as it moves back to the left side, then slow down as it approaches the far left coming to a near stop, etc. You see the pattern here?

I am wanting this code to be in an onEnterFrame = function(){}. I presume that I need to use Math.cos() or sin() or tan() but I have tried to find tutorials using them, but they seem to be too confusing or advanced. Some of the examples I saw were using variables I never saw declared, so I just figured I'd make my own topic asking my specific question.

Assigning Smooth Movement To Mc Problems
I have problem with assigning an smooth animation to mc, in main time line I have this script:

ActionScript Code:
function move_foto() {
if (ww>194) {
_root.zdj["fot"+i].foto_a.foto_a_a._x = 194-ww;
}
}

function readme() {
for (i=1; i<(n3/2); i++) {
duplicateMovieClip(_root.zdj.fot, "fot"+i, i+200);
setProperty(_root.zdj["fot"+i], _x, i*197);
if (myFOTO.childNodes[i].nodeName == "foto_a") {
nazwa = myFOTO.childNodes[i].attributes.pict;
trace("nazwa zdjecia: "+nazwa);
loadMovie("foto/"+nazwa+".jpg", _root.zdj["fot"+i].foto_a.foto_a_a);
//ww: the width of the foto;
ww = myFOTO.childNodes[i].attributes.w;
move_foto();
}
}
}

Now the script just moves the loaded image right to the final place, but how to modify the script or the mc so that it can be seen the movement of the jpg.
Please help, it's urgent.

Re: Smooth Movement Back To Origin.
What up. I'm making a website, and it's using a drag and drop type deal for navigation. Basically the user must click and drag a module into the "dropZone" to go to that particular section.
here's the AS I'm using so far:

ActionScript Code:
<i>this.onLoad = function() { startX1 = button1._x; startY1 = button1._y;};</i>dropZone.onMouseUp = function() { //------------------------------ if (dropZone.hitTest(button1)) { button1._x = dropZone._x; button1._y = dropZone._y; button1.stopDrag(); <b>} else { button1._x = startX1; button1._y = startY1; button1.stopDrag(); }</b>};

Basically, button1 is the button that the user is dragging to the drop zone. Now, my query is about the bolded section. What that does, is when the user *unclicks* the mouse button, the module springs back to its origin which is defined during an onLoad event (in italics). Right now, it just jumps back to the origin, as opposed to smoothly animating back to the origin (which is what i want, and don't know how to code). Thanks in advance!!!!

Smooth Mouse / Scolling Movement
Hi there,

I am creating a dragging scrollbar movie of a timeline (the history kind, not the flash kind). I am using the actionscript to control the movement of the clip. The following code is placed on the dragging movie:

PHP Code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {if (dragging) { this._x = _root._xmouse; dxdrag = this._x - start_x; start_x = this._x; _root.timeline._x -= speed*dxdrag; }}

Now this all works great, and is pretty smooth. But I would like to smooth it out more and add some easing, both in and out.

Does anyone have any ideas how to do this? Do I need to use a tweening class like PennerEasing?

Thanks,

Steve

EDIT: I just realised i missed off a massive thing. Because this is a timeline, certain points on the scrolling area have to correspond exactly with points on the main content.

Had best add that "speed" is worked out as the difference between the widths of the two movieclips, the dragger and the content..

Smooth Circular Movement On Release
I have a draggable movieclip that can be dragged to anywhere on the stage and on release if it doesn't drops on the target makes a smooth movement back to the initial position. My idea is to on the drop if it doesnt' drop on target when going back th movieclip should do a smooth curved movement, like the image (a bombshock worthy image)

Could any point to this kind of effect?

Stupid Problem About Smooth Mc Movement

y_difference = current_y - new_y;
new_y = "50";
do {
current_y = _root.info.slider._y;
y_difference = current_y - new_y;
setProperty(_root.info.slider, _y, (y_difference)/2);
} while (new_y ne current_y);
}

I am getting an error that says the script is causing it to move slowly, which i guess means an infinite loop. any ideas?

Object To Mouse Position - Smooth Movement Problemo
Hi all, I've got a ruler type line where the central point of the line follows the mouse on the x co-ordinates and scrolls left or right depending on where it is.

I've accomplished this using a MC which contains the following code and works spot on. But what do I need to do so that the central point adjusts with tweening so it doesn't follow at the same pace, like when you set the easing to 100 using tweening?

Thanks in advance. Here's the code I've used so far.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :
Frame 1 of MC
:::::::::::::
if (_root._xmouse>_level0.calib._x) {
_level0.calib._x = (_level0.calib._x+1);
} else {
_level0.calib._x = (_level0.calib._x-1);
}
:::::::::::::
Frame 2 of MC
:::::::::::::
if (_root._xmouse>_level0.calib._x) {
_level0.calib._x = (_level0.calib._x+1);
} else {
_level0.calib._x = (_level0.calib._x-1);
}

MX2004: Campus Map, Smooth Scripted Movement And Other Problems
hi everyone.

I could really use some help. I am working on designing a flash map for our university campus. Using MX2004. I have a lot working so far, but I am running into some stumbling blocks. I've used flash for a while, but only for simple animations, I'm pretty new to actionscripting but so far have been able to piece together tutorials, examples and so forth to get the functionality I need so far.

However, I need some tips on a few things and I hope this thread can help with the development of this.

The map loads from an external flash file so it can be updated more easily by other people down the road.
I have the controls to move it around and zoom it in by using a slider and some nav buttons, both of which has been hacked together from different examples.

Now, I am trying to create a list of buildings that when clicked on colors the building and moves the view to where that building is located.

I am doing this in the following way:
each building in the imported map is a movie clip comprised of 2 frames, each with a stop(); command. the first frame is the normal color, the 2nd frame the building is colored orange.

in my list, which will be just a list of text buttons, a user clicks once on a building name and it advances the building movie clip frame foward to the next frame, which changes the color, and the next click on the same button moves to the previous frame setting the color back to green.

Problem is, if the user is not zoomed all the way out, they won't see which building is being highlighted. So what I would like, is despite what zoom or x/y position the map is currently at, when they click on a building it moves to a preset x/y coordinate and zoom level that is preset to center that selected building within the viewable area of the map window.

I have the movement and zoom kind of working, but it jumps to it. What i would like is some actionscripted smooth movement toward the preset x and y coordinates from whereever the viewer currently is.

here is the code i'm using right now for when a user clicks on a building name button:

Code:
on (release) {
if (Number(button) == 2) {
_root.mainMap.mainMap.alumnicenter.nextFrame();
_root.mainMap._y = 404; //vertical position
_root.mainMap._x = 457; //horizontal position
_root.mainMap._xscale = 300;
_root.mainMap._yscale = 300;
_root.slider._y = 27; //height of slider on range bar
_root.slider._x = 144.3; //dont change
button = 1;
} else {
_root.mainMap.mainMap.alumnicenter.prevFrame();
_root.mainMap._y = 204; //vertical position
_root.mainMap._x = 457; //horizontal position
_root.mainMap._xscale = 150;
_root.mainMap._yscale = 150;
_root.slider._y = 95; //height of slider on range bar
_root.slider._x = 144.3; //dont change
button = 2;
}
}
the flash file is too big to attach and like i said it pulls from external files, if needed I can package up the folder in a zip file, but here is the latest swf file to give you an idea. http://acketon.com/campus_map1.html

here's what's being replaced: http://www.selu.edu/map this is all part of a major redesign effort of the entire website. Most of which is done or underway, but I have taken this on as a project.

Tips For Tweening Large Movieclips For Smooth Movement?
Hi there!

Ive always had problems tweening big movieclips, motion isnt as smooth as I would like. I usually work in video so I am used to seeing everything precomposed! Are there any tips or best practices I can employ for smooth motion?

Here is what I normally do:

I use the Zigo tween engine from the Fusekit.
Wherever possible, I cacheAsBitmap
I also avoid using strokes, and have solid filled objects.
Set my frame rate at 30fps

For my next project im going to need to recreate a world that rotates, very similar to the Patapon website. The motion on this looks pretty good! How have the achieved that?

Thanks!

Smooth Bar Preloader - Truly Smooth...
I have been making flash movies for a long time now, and have used many different preloader that claim to be smooth or whatever.

Unfortunatly I have yet to find a truly smooth preloader. They always end up stopping for a little bit or a choppy bar animation (skipping from say 40% to 50%)

2advanced and all the big namers all seem to have perfect preloader that go through each percent perfectly and no chopping of the bar at all.

Can anyone point me in the direction of maybe a good component or preloader source you have used and are satisfied with?

Thanks a bunch fellas

I want to learn how to make an image react on my mouse-movement, so you get the effect as if you're looking around. You move the mouse to the right, and the image on the screen moves to the right, etc. I've seen an example of that on http://www.center-of-the-world.com/ - but I don't know how to find a tutorial for that on the Flashkit-site. Can anyone help?

Capturing Mouse Movement/locking Out A Direction Of Movement
does anyone have a good solution in AS 2 for simulating horizontal and vertical finger gestures like on an iPhone?

I have a Mouse listener that calculates movement in both directions and whichever one is larger in value (primary movement of mouse) then it locks out the other using a boolean value. And then once the mouseUp event is triggered, it sets the values to true again to listen for another horizontal or vertical gesture movement.

the problem I'm running into is that every once in awhile while I'm "gesturing" or moving the mouse in a particular direction, I'll get some funky results which clues me into that the other direction might not being totally locked out.

Make any sense?

Flowing Mc Movement Opposite Of Mouse Movement
I have a mc (fStrip) which looks like a piece of filmstrip with thumbnail images in it. I want this mc to move when the users mouse is positioned over it, but I only want it to move only along it's x-axis and in a direction opposite that of the mouse. And I want it to move or flow smoothly.

I've been trying to figure this out (see my lame attempt below) but without much luck. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
buffer=20 //movement buffer
mousePos=_root.fStrip._xmouse //store mouse position
if (mymouse!=_root.fStrip._xmouse){ //if the mouse has moved
diff=mymouse-_root.fStrip._xmouse; //find amount of movement
_root.fStrip._x-=diff/buffer; //buffer & set strips movement
updateAfterEvent(); //adding this makes the movement cleaner
}
}
