Flash :: Flash Move Judders - Not Smooth At All

Ever Get The Judders?
I wonder if anyone can help with what is a tiny bug. it is smewhere in the few lines below but I've been hunting all night and cant find it.

Essentially I have a layer that runs the length of my main time line.
It contain four keyframes "keyframe1", "keyframe2", "keyframe3", "keyframe4".
I have one movie clip on each of the last three of these keyframes, they are:
moveUP_mc, moveLEFT_mc, moveDOWN_mc.
each movieclip contains a slimilar piece of code to move the main screen around the stage.

Code:
///////////// this on "moveUP_mc" in "keyframe2" ////////////
moveUp = function() {
if (_root.mainScreen01._y >= -180) {
_root.mainScreen01._y -= 1;
_root.mainScreen01.hello._y += 1;
}
}
canvasMoveUp = setInterval(moveUp,1);

///////////// this on "moveLEFT_mc" in "keyframe3" //////////
moveLeft = function() {
if (_root.mainScreen01._x >= -55) {
_root.mainScreen01._x -= 10;
}
}
canvasMoveLeft = setInterval(moveLeft,20);

///////////// this on "moveDOWN_mc" in "keyframe4" /////////
moveDown = function() {
if (_root.mainScreen01._y <= 100) {
_root.mainScreen01._y += 1;
_root.mainScreen01.hello._y -= 1;
}
}
canvasMoveDown = setInterval(moveDown,1);
When I play the movie, "moveUP_mc" and "moveLEFT_mc" do exactly what they should do. "moveDOWN_mc" however is causing problems. It moves down to its new position as it should and then judders up and down by a pixel or so.

Can you see what is going wrong here?:yes:
Thank you
Tim.

PNG Smooth Move
Hello,

I'm wondering how to make SMOOTH movement of some object that contains PNG file. My PNG object is about 100x100pxl size.

The problem is that when PNG moves in the scene it's blinking. It doesn't look smoothly.
I have tried different FPS and different speed of motion but can't make smooth motion.

Smooth Move Using Keypress
Is there an easy way to get an object to smoothly move on the stage via keypresses in AS3? When I set it up, the object moves slightly, then hesitates before moving again. Seems to be lagging a little as well. I've come across some scripts that resolve this but they seem to be quite lengthy and complex just to move an object. Any advice would be appreciated.

HOW They Make Things Move SO SMOOTH?
yes, right, i don't get it! For example, 2advanced.. Lines, buttons, splashscreens move very smooth there, but when i try to make something move (insert->motion tween), line or bground.. it moves like.. like i don't know what... I don't get it! Please, ppl, explain, I'm beggin you!

Smooth Scrolling Background Mouse Move
Hi,

I have been stuck on this for ages, using laco tween I have been attempting to create a background image that scrolls like this site: http://www.kingbrownmag.com and many other use.

However I am only able to create something that is clunky and moves with the mouse, there is no inertia and the movement is not great. Any hints, tips, or ideas where to look for some code that might help me achieve this effect wouldbe much appreciated.

Thanks,

Smooth Flash
Hi wondering if anyone can help... there are loads of sites around that seem to implement ultra smooth tweens and transitions.. usually most are found on the FWA.. I use actionscript to tween animations and set the fps to 60.. but it never seems to emulate the slickness that I am talking about... One nice example of flawless tweening is

http://www.arsthanea.com

There are many more, but this one jumps to mind for its lovely transitions..

Anyone know how this level of slickness is achieved?

Allowing The User To Move Move An Object (graphic Asset)
I'm working on a Flash presentation that will be an instructional tutorial. I'm teaching users how to navigate a map and I'd like to have them move a ruler or legend to measure distances between two points. Can anyone direct me to a reference source that can help me set this up?

I'm a fairly new Flash user but very eager to learn this technique.

Thanks,

Smooth Fades In Flash
Greetings,

I am making a slide show and was wondering if it is possible to fade from one image to another using action scripting. How is it done?

I have tried fading using transparency (take a symbol, and fade it from 0% to 100%, hold for qa few frames and fade back down from 100% to 0%) but it doesn'l look as smooth as I would like, even at high frame rates like 24fps.

If anyone has seen http://anfyflash.com/gallery/imagefader/index.html they have applets that will produce a very smooth trasition between images, see url above.

I would like to do this in Flash but I don't think they are just using transparncy to fade between images, So, I'm wondering if there is a way to do it though action scripting.

Smooth Preloader & Flash 9...
Hi everyone,

I've done this tutorial (http://www.actionscript.org/resource...der/Page1.html) to build my preloader, which was working great on the older version of my website... I also used for its newer version (http://www.drduckling.com/) and worked perfectly offline but DOESN'T work online (???) !!! Does anybody know what's wrong ? Does it have to do with me recently using Flash 9 ? Some ActionScript compatibility issue or something ?

Smooth Images In Flash 8
Macromedia took away the "BEST" quality setting that made rotated and scaled images smooth.

I found a workaround and made a simple to use function so the rest of you guys don't spend as much time as I did banging your heads against the wall for this:

Hope it comes in handy

Flash Animation Not Smooth
The animation I am currently working on is at a rate of 30 fps and when I test the movie and export it out to test it my animation becomes jumpy and doesn't run at the specified frames per second. I would like to know what can be done to improve/ fix this situation.

Flash Not Smooth - Framerate?
hei,

take a look at this flash at the upper right corner
http://www.clubprive.ee - there is a series of them, press F5 to see others. As you can see, they're smooth

now look at my flash: http://www.jess.ee - 1 is a popup, 2nd one is the top banner on the opening site. You can see its not smooth. I use 30fps, what should i do? should i go higher? Wont that slow down other webelements? It often looks like my banners have a scroll in them, but pro-ones run smooth, even when played simultaneously.

what is the problem?
thnx

Flash Animation, Not Really Smooth
Hello everybody,

I am working on an application that allows the user to generate flash banners. The user includes his own images in the animation, and can change a few parameters. An example can be seen here: http://www.macgeneration.com/labo/voir/126992/test-du-iomega-ultramax-pro-1.5-to/3 (scroll down to the middle of the page, the banner is titled "Une petite galerie pour finirâ€¦ " .)

As you can see on this example, the animation isn't really smooth. The images movemement isn't really regular. The animation framerate is 24 fps, so I expected it to move better.

At first, I thought the problem came from my actionscript code, or from the number of size of images. So I tried somethig much simpler: I opened Flash CS3, started a new animation at 24 fps. drew a 100*100px rectangle at (0,0) on the first frame. Added a keyframe at frame 60 and moved the rectangle to (450,0) added a motion tween.
I then tested the animation and could see the same fault: the flash animation isn't fluid.

I am a bit disappointed by Flash, shouldn't Flash do such a simple movement in a smoother way ?
On the other hand, I've seen wonderful things made with Flash - like papervision 3d for example - that seemed really smooth. So, have I missed something ? Is there an option to activate to improve animation or something like that ?

For the moment, the only parameter that improves my simple animation is to increase framerate, but I don't think this should be necessary: 24 fps is plenty for such a simple motion.

Anyway, I'm really confused right now, and I'd like to have your opinion about it.

Thanks

Flash 8 Noob - Smooth Looping
Hi all,

I'm brand spanking new to Flash (Version 8), and trying to grasp the fundamentals - so this may sound like a pre-school question.

I made a spinning square with a circle/spiral rotating the other direction inside it (just to familiarize myself with the basics.)

It all spins smoothly, but when the spiral gets to the end, it stops before starting again on frame 1. How do you get it to continue without interruption?

FLASH WORLD MAP Smooth Zooming
Hey Guys,

I am going crazy here, I am trying to make a map of the world that zooms in. So I have most of it working fine but the only bit I cant get going is the part where you zoom in on an exact spot.

I want the user to click and drag the map around as much as they want and finish on a point (lets say a red dot) now when over the red with the cross hairs I want the zoom to zoom in on what ever is under the cross hairs and not move back to the center of the map.

I have uploaded a test map to http:www.davidbyrne.net.au/map/index.html
you can also download the construction file there if you want to have a go.

Cheers

Smooth Photo Transition With Flash
Hello,

I am just starting using Flash 8.
I just succeeded to create a first simple Flash movie. This movie is located at the following url ( http://www.perros-guirec.eu/ ).
I just used the first training of the Flash help to create it.
Now my goal would be to create a movie where the pictures are progressively replaced one by the other without any left-right scrolling ( like at the following url : http://www.montbareil.com/).
I put a first photo on the timeline starting at 0, then a second photo at 80 going to 160.
I put a 'move' transition from 40 to 80. Then I tested the movie.
But the transition is not smooth. The second photo appears suddently. I think I missed something.
Can anybody help me to find a solution to do this?
Thanks a lot.

Smooth Color Change In Flash 8
Hi all,

I'm as of today a new user of this site.

I found a script on Kirupa to randomly change colors smoothly with actionscript. Problem is it doesn't work for Flash 8 as it was written for Flash 5. Here is the script:

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/randomcolor.htm

Does anyone know how to do this in Flash 8? I have been searching and can't find anything. It doesn't matter if it is changing randomly as it's the smooth changing I'm interested in.

Thanks a lot and thanks for the site.

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

How Do I Make Flash Movies Super Smooth?
I've seen some really smooth animations on the web and I was wondering what I need to do to make my movies animate smoothly too. Do I only need to bump up the framerate? I know scene complexity is something to consider. I guess what I'm looking for are some guidelines to making animations smooth. I have flash MX by the way.

In Flash It Runs SMOOTH But In HTML It's SLOW ?
peepz,

i've created a flash movie (full browser window) that run's very smooth in my flash player when i published it with (the ctrl + enter command).

My problem is that when i view it in HTML (i tried a lot of different HTML codes) it is stuttering (i don't understand why).

im using macromedia flash mx 2004 (version 7.2) with the custom easing tool (http://laco.wz.cz/tween)

i also tried to let flash make the HTML code itself but whitout any result .

can somebody make it clear why flash publishes it very smooth and in HTML it's slow? (and maybe a solution?)

thanks already peepz!

added the FLA and HTML...

watch the menu buttons stuttering in HTML, but in FLASH its perfect!

Smooth Transition Of Flash Between HTML Pages
