Flash :: Move Whole Animations Consisting Of Single Frames

Move Whole Animations Consisting Of Single Frames
hi flashies,

Should be a simple task. How can I move, twist or resize a whole
animation or several layers if it contains or consists of single
frames???

thanx in advance!

HOW Do You Move Animations?
Hi, I want to move an animation in my flash header. The problem is... when I move the text (it's supposed to fade in), it only moves the final destination point, leaving the first one where it was before.

So when my file loads... the text sort of floats into place as it fades. I can move each "point" (initial and final) independantly (btw what do you call these?) but how do you move them together?? (I select them both in the timeline, holding shift, but it doesn't help)

thanks

Getting A Sprite To Move Continuously After A Single Keypress ...
I was following a tutorial on moving clips with the keypad - I got the character moving around fine, but just using 'if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)' type statements, which means the sprite just moves while the key is down. So I tried to come up with a way to make the sprite move continuously using this code attached to an mc:

Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
step = 5;
movieWith = 300;
movieHeight = 300;
this.stop();
_root.dir = "";
}
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.UP) {
_root.dir = "up";
} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
_root.dir = "right";
} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.DOWN) {
_root.dir = "down";
} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {
_root.dir = "left";
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.dir="right" and this._x<300) {
this.attachMovie("sprite", "bug", 10);
this._x = this._x+step;
this._rotation = 45;
this._xscale = -100;
} else if (_root.dir="left" and this._x>0) {
this.attachMovie("sprite", "bug", 10);
this._x = this._x-step;
this._rotation = -45;
this._xscale = 100;
} else if (_root.dir="up" and this._y>0) {
this.attachMovie("sprite", "bug", 10);
this._y = this._y-step;
this._rotation = 0;
this._xscale = 100;
} else if (_root.dir="down" and this._y<300) {
this.attachMovie("sprite", "bug", 10);
this._y = this._y+step;
this._rotation = 180;
this._xscale = 100;
} else {
this.attachMovie("sprite", "bug", 10);
_root.dir = "";
}
}

How can I fix it? Am I on the right track? Is there a different appraoch?

Load Single Frames Inside A MC
I have two buttons and a MC that is three frames long. The first frame has 'stop ()' and the other frames have information that matches their respective buttons. I want button A, when clicked on, to show and stop on frame 2, button B to do the same for frame 3.

The thing that is throwing me off is that the buttons are not part of the MC itself. How can I get a single frame of the MC to load up and stay on the screen until the other button is pressed? Thanks in advance.

Is It Possible To Put The Actions I Have In Frames 1 And 2 Into A Single Frame?
Hello, I'm new to actionscript 3.0.
I've attached the file I need help with.
My question is: Is it possible to put the actions I have in frames 1 and 2 into a single frame ? And if so how is this possible?
Basically, I want to all my code to be on a single frame, and still be able to function properly.
Sorry if this topic has been posted before, but I couldn't find anything for my specific need.

Thank you.

How To Export Single Frames As Swf Files
Hi,

The problem is as follows:

I have a FLA file with 149 frames: text.fla

I want to have every of the149 frames be stored as single swf file like:

test001.swf
test002.swf
test003.swf
...
...
test149.swf

I know, I can do it by hand via the file/export/export image but this is
VERY hard going!

Does anybody have an elegant solution or action script?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Actions For Several Frames In Single Script?
I'm wondering, is it possible to include actions for several frames in single external script? Or do I have to make more files and insert #include directly in the desired frame?

How Do I Make And Add Movie Frames To My Animations?
How do I make and add movie frames to my website / animations?

AS 2 Single Button GotoAndPlay MovieClip Twice In Two Diff. Frames
Somewhat familiar with basic actionscripting, but ran into a road block.
have multiple buttons within one movie clip. Want each button to talk to the corresponding movie clip.
The goal is to onRelease of a button gotoAndPlay a frame in a named movie clip.
Then use onRelease again to gotoAndPlay a different frame of the same movie clip.

Basically, on each movie clip is a single layer with one timeline to, a stop of frame 1, a stop on frame 5 and a stop on frame 9.
From frame 2-5 fades the image in to visiblity, and from frames 6-9 fades the image out.

Looking to have the onRelease used twice on each button, each time playing a different frame.

Right now I have it so when you mouseOver it fades in and when you onRelease of the same button it fades out.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanx!

Animations And Loops Tutorial - Reducing Frames Question
I saw the tutorial on this site regarding Animations and Loops. I'm new to flash so I'm trying to get a feel for how to develop a flash page from scratch. I can get the animation working according to this tutorial.

I'd like to reduce the animations to just two or three frames in the main layer of the flash page (I don't know what the proper terminology is for saying this)

I was reading a tutorial but forgot to bookmark it on how to reduce the frames in the movie by using layers (my history is set for one day) . To make it easy, I created a symbol of a circle moving across the screen and another symbol of a box moving across the sreen. I would like to have the circle moving across the screen to appear after a box moves across the screen 1 time (the box should no longer be present when the circle appears).

When I put just the first symbol(the box) down in the first frame I get it repeatedly moving across the screen - even if I set the symbol loop for 1. When I put the second symbol in on the second frame I get flashing between
the two symbols but no movement. Can someone please let me know where I am going wrong.

Thanks

Main Animations Slow Down A Huge Bit When Using Internal Movie (several Frames)
To try to avoid lag in the main animations (few ones, 5 I think), instead of having all the contents load as external movie clips in a movie clip called contentsMC (for instance), I used that contentsMC clip to contain them all, in several frames.
There's no great problem in having all in one, since the contents are mainly text.
The contentsMC shows up in a masked area inside the main movie clip.

I also have a transition effect, under that masked area.

When I press a button, it uses the command loadContent = #;
And sets the transition effect movieclip play ( transitionMC.gotoAndPlay(1); ).

At the mid point of that transition effect (when it covers the actual content), it has the if conditions required to display what was asked.

if (loadContent == 1) {
_parent.contentsMC.gotoAndStop(1);

if (loadContent == 2) {
_parent.conteudos.gotoAndStop(2);

and so on.

However, when the transition effect is ocurring, all the animations in the main page become really slow, until it ends.
Also, if I use anything inside the contentsMC, such as a scroll bar, the same lag occurs.
That lag happens both with the always running animations (they are 5, I think) and with any other animation triggered during that, for instance by the onRollover effect of a movieclip.

To try to reduce that, I had set the framerate to higher values. First I set it to 50, then 60, and now it's currently at 90 (I only set it to 90 as it displays quite slower on the browser)

What can I do to solve this major slow down process?

Thanks

Move All Clips For 30 Frames ? Can't Use "copy Frames" Why ?
Hi
I have a animation with masks, movieclips loads of keyframes...all in all about 25 layers.
How can I insert at the beginning in every layer for example 30 emty frames ?
Another thing:
I tried to make a movieclip out of this animation because I don't want to handle all these layers but it doesn't work. The option "copy frames" is not active. Why ?
Thanks a lot for help.
cheers

Move Several Frames
Im trying to move several frame/keyframes on Several layers over about 5 frames to make room for a 5 frame sequence. (Or basically insert 5 frames on a layer, and getting all the other layers to move down 5 frames)

It seems very trivial but I can't figure out how. It seems I can only do it one layer at a time. Among other things, Ive tried holding downw shift and selecting the frames on mulitple layers and moving them, but once I try to move them, it only let's me do it for one layer.

Get what I mean?
Thanks for all the help

Move Specific # Of Frames
Simple question: what is the script for moving a specific number of frames. I am trying to do the following:
when the button is released we jump back five frames. regardless where I place the button, on release it will always go back 5 frames and play. Can anyone give me a simple answer?
Thanks.

Slider To Move Through Frames
Wanting to make a horizontal slider, which when you shift the handle to the right will move the playhead up 1 frame in the flash timeline. I tried a slider with rollover buttons underneath it, so when you move the slider to the right you also come across a button with an onrollOver gotoAndPlay script, but it doesn't work. Either I get the slider to work, but the buttons won't respond or the buttons respond and the slider doesn't. The width of the slider should correspond with a fixed number of frames, the statring point being frame 1, and the end (when the slider is all the way to the right) the max (last frame) of possible frames. Thanks

Using A Slider To Move Through Frames...
Hello everyone!

My name is Jon.

I'm currently working on a jukebox using FLASH MX. I'm aware of the new components in MX 2004, but I want to figure out how to be able to scan through an audio track contained within an swf file, to become more familiar with scripting.

The jukeboxes I used to create would use a base swf file to control which tracks play and then when I listener clicked on a button, the swf (audio track) would dynamically load each swf file into the base swf file.

So within each of those swf files containing the streaming audio, I would like to know where to begin with programming a scan bar so listeners could scan through the song but only as far as the song has loaded. I already have a load bar to show how much of the track has loaded. Now, I want to add a slider on top of the load bar so the listener can move through the track.

Any ideas?

Hope I explained this well enough. Thanx!

Move Sequence Of Frames
Hi, in flash MX 2004 I have imported a tga sequence of frames. Now if it is imported the animation (sequence of images) is played at de top of my document, but I want it in the middle of my document.
My question is, can you move the whole sequence to for example the middle of the document?
Because if I select all of the frames and then move it to the middle, than just the frame will be moved where the timeline is at that moment end all of the other frames won't move with it.
Maybe there is just one simple button for it. I have searched in the help and the FAQ of this forum, but no luck so maybe you just can't and have to move them one by one ??
I hope someone can help me with this.

Thanks,

Jeffrey.

JPEG Lost When I Move Between Frames
Hi,

This is what I have tried to do:
Main movie:
Frame 1: place an empty MC1
Frame 2: place an empty MC2

Button 1: load jpeg1 into MC1
Button 2: load jpeg2 into MC2
And 2 buttons that allow me to move between the two frames.

However, if I load jpeg1 into MC1 on frame 1 and then go to frame 2 and then go back to frame 1 - the jpeg has disappeared and I have to press button 1 again to load jpeg1 again.

What I am trying to do seems simple enough - but I am obviously missing something quite fundamental!!!
Any ideas?

Mass Move In Multiple Frames
I have a flash movie made in adobe flash cs3 (in actionscript 2.0 mode). It's been decided that there needs to be about 50-100 pixels of extra space on the TOP of the movie, adding space to the bottom and right is as simple as increasing the document size, but adding to the top is a bit more tricky. I imagine it would involve going to every single frame on the main timeline and moving everything down (would take a very long time with 200 frames or whatever).

Anyways what is the best way to approach this?

Mouse Move, Moving Movie Frames?
Hi all, I have a movieclip that is 100 frames long. Id like to make it that when you move the mouse over it, moving the mouse left moves the MC ahead frames, and moving the mouse right makes the MC run back frames.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Randomly Display Frames In A Move Clip?
Ok,this is probably really simple and I'm probably over thinking this. I have a movie clip with 8 frames, each frame display's a differant statement. When the viewer returns to the page that contains this movie clip, I would like the movie clip to display one of the eight frames - randomly. That way it's a differant statement each time you return to this page (provided you only return eight times, after that they would just repeat). Can someone help me code this?

Make Button Move X Amount Of Frames?

Move Coordinates Of Multiple Movies Over Frames
Ive made a movie on my main timeline with about 300 frames and 7 or 8 layers. Is there an easy to move all of the movie clips across all the frames to a different coordinate on the stage? The objects on stage are aligned to the top left of the screen and i want to have it be center aligned.

Buttons To Move Frames Forward And Reverse?
Hi,

What I'm seeking should be straightforward for those of you who have mastered ActionScript. (I'm using Flash 8 Professional.)

I have 84 photographs that progressively show one complete rotation of a photographed object (a model airplane). What I'm envisioning are a pair of buttons. When the "forward" button is pressed, the plane would rotate clockwise, and stop rotating when the button is released. Same for the "reverse" button, but the action would be counterclockwise. In that way, the viewer can control exactly what angle to look at.

I assume I'd put each of the photographs on a Flash frame and use ActionScript on the buttons to make Flash go through the frames as described above.

Please let me know what the AS code would be, or perhaps show a link to someplace where it is explained.

Thanks!
Bill

Script Single Button To Play Frames, Then Skip Some, And Continue Play?
Just as the topic says, I want to script a button to go to and play through a motion tween, but then skip some frames to then play another motion tween all in one button press. For example, play frame 1 which plays the tween and ends at frame 10 (I have that part down fine) but then for it to skip ahead to continue to play frame 20 and then of course stop once it finishes that motion tween.

Tried a few searches but its too many words to explain so I wasnt finding anything. Its probably a simple command im just not familiar with yet. Can anyone help?

How Does One Move Frames And Keep Their Relative Actionscript References Intact?
I cannot find a way to move frames and mintains the relative AS references the same. For example. If, in frames 5,10,15,20, there is a gotoAndStop(1); and I discover that I need to insert a frame infront of frame 1 (making it frame 2) is there a way not to loose all my gotoAndStop() references??

This HAS to be possible and this HAS to have be brought up before, but a search revealed nothing. Even excel can do it.

Trying To Use Navigation Buttons To Move To Frames Within A Movie Clip Symbol
Adobe CS3 and Actionscript 2.0

Let me start off by saying my brain is completely fried, as I completly lost myself and confused my brain to the point of melting

I have a flash file with navigation on the left side, and content on the right side. I have multiple pages in the flash that i would like to display depending on the navigation button clicked on.

The affect i was trying to achieve was to have the content scroll in to the right upon clicking a link for that page. Then when clicking the navigation to go to a different page, the currently displayed page scrolls to the left and disappears which would allow the new page to scroll in for viewing.

I tried doing this with scenes using variables and "else if" statements, but it just caused more problems then it solved. Maybe I wasn't doing it right, but either way it caused the flash file to increase in size alot thus increasing loading time.
------------

If anyone can help me it would be sooooo much appreciated. All i want to do is have the flash load with a home page already displayed, but when someone clicks on a navigation button, then the curent page scrolls to the left to disappear and the new page scrolls to the right to be displayed.

Here are ways i can see it being done, but I could be completely wrong which is most likely the case:

1. Have all the pages in a movie clip symbol, and use actionscript so when a navigation button is clicked on it goes to a specific frame in the movieclip which would start the animation of the page loading in. Upon clicking a different navigation button, the movieclip will reverse to cause the page to scroll left to disappear, and jump to the starting frame of the next page.

2. The same as the above, except have it so when you click a navigation button it plays specific frames which contain the page scrolling left to disapeer, and then play the new page.

If you have a better way i'm open for suggestions. However right now I'm completely lost and confused myself to the point of wanting to quit .

I've searched google, sitepoint, and the flash docs but can't seem to find something to help me achieve what I'm trying to do.

I Couldn't Able To Do Control Sound By Using Single Button In Single Frame....
Hai All,

I've developed file with sound control. But i would like to do in single frame control by using buttons.

Actually i've to place mp3 files in each frame and it should be controled by on/off button. When file loading the audio should start play and button should be in OFF state.

When user click the button to make it sound on then audio should play. Every frame will be in stop action. So user will listen audios by clicking next button to go next frame to listem next frame audio.

So If user stops the audio in frame 1 and it should be globally controlled in rest of frames and if sound on globally for next frame audio.

Right now i developed by using:
frame 1:
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
my_sound.attachSound("Audio1");

and placed one movie clip in stage. Inside movieclip two button[on and off] in two frames separately.

Inside movieclip frame1:
this._parent._parent.my_sound.start();
stop();

and for ON button:
on (release){
this._parent._parent.my_sound.start();
gotoAndStop(2);
}

Frame2:
this._parent._parent.my_sound.stop();
stop();

and for OFF button:
on (release){
this._parent._parent.my_sound.stop();
gotoAndStop(1);
}

I hope somewhere i did mistake...

Can you please help me on this and give me an idea to make it.

Thanks

[help] Single Key Press, Single Action
Hi again: i looked this up in the search before asking but with no results, but maybe it's been asked before, don't know. The following code

code:
tecla= new Object();
tecla.onKeyDown = function(){
if (Key.isDown(90) && acc != true) {
prota.gotoAndStop("izq");
acc = true;
}
}
Key.addListener(tecla);

triggers the action animation for a character, in whose last frame of movement resets the check with "_root.acc=false". But if you keep the key pressed, it will constantly perform the action (like if it had turbo or rapid fire activated), and i want the user to press the key each time. How can this be done?

Thanks in advance

Animations Playing Over Animations...
Alrighty,

First off I'm not new to flash, however when it comes to scripting, I am. Heres the issue I'm having:

I have a website entirely done in flash. When you select a side link it plays a short animation on the main animation and then loads another animation upon the main one. This way you only load what you need as you need it. When it appears it gives the illusion of all being part of one site. Now, I'm trying to set it up so that you can select a link on this 2nd animation and have it bring up another animation over part of it... I did it... Thing is, whenever I select one of the far off links to the left from the main animation it wont get rid of the tiny animation brought forth by animation 2... It just stays there and wont go away.

Anyhoo, sorry if this issue is a very simple error and the entire question void of all inteligence, but any help woud be great.
