Re: [Flashcoders] event that is not working
Gustavo, I would ditch using the tween engine in flash and use TweenLite for your tweens. Although, this wouldn't have corrected your issue, TweenLite is a lot smaller and more efficient than the tween engine in the Flash IDE. --Original Message-- From: Henrik Andersson Sender: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com To: Flash Coders List ReplyTo: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] event that is not working Sent: Jan 27, 2010 4:12 PM Karl DeSaulniers wrote: > not sure if you need the underscore in as3.

The issue was two instances with the same name. Tween in flash got confused and didn't want to advance.

Re: [Flashcoders] event that is not working
then maybe _root.gotoAndPlay or _parent.gotoAndPlay
not sure if you need the underscore in as3.

Hi Coders I have this code, apparently it triggers the trace
but it
doesn't move with the next frame in the time line, any ideas, I
will
appreciate your input
here is my code
var ballXTween:Tween = new Tween(logoMafle, "y",Bounce.easeInOut,
logoMafle.y,
216, 1.5, true);
ballXTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_STOP, completo);
function completo(e:TweenEvent){
if(logoMafle.y>=216){
gotoAndPlay(2);
trace("arranca");
}
}
probably is a dumb question, but it is strange you know?
I'm doing everything I did before, but this is strange, weird, I

Re: [Flashcoders] Ideas, Please
Hi Beno, It's on the way over to the list, but I've just posted the part that does the actual explosion, it assumes you've got your plane set up in PV3D already, so I'd get that bit done first if you want to try integrating my code with it. I'd give more than just the explosion part, but it's all quite heavily integrated with the rest of my site, and I don't have time right now to just pull out the relevant parts and put it into a separate project.

Re: [Flashcoders] Ideas, Please
The code doesn't make your stuff pretty. Trying blurring each item as it explodes away. Might give a "depth" feeling to the explosion. Looking good or crap is all in who creates the images.

Re: [Flashcoders] Rotation
That is the book I was going to get you. You should be good with that one. One last thing, no one is saying not to do what is in your head or to stray from your ideas. Its just that everyone can see that your not qualified to do the projects your seeking out except you. Trust me, I have been their myself. I quickly learned that there was a certain way (a code of design if you will) to do flash. Certain things are common knowledge (like the trace) and some are more in-depth. If you cant even implement the basics on your own, you shouldn't be promising the in-depth. You need to read more. You will figure this out when you have finally learned flash (and you will frown on these postings yourself) or when you get sued for a project you couldn't compete correctly or on time. Can't eat if your getting sued. If you had taken the direction given all this time, some 100 posts ago, you'd be done and eating lobster already.. But alas after you move on and get better there will be someone else with your same mindset of "I know best" (that stubborn thing) posting erroneous questions trying to get ahead by asking everything and studying nothing, and you'll be the one letting them know how to get their questions answered the right way.. :) Best of luck beno..

[Flashcoders] Ideas, Please
Hi; I have two graphics. I want to explode one and then immediately thereafter reverse explode the other. I can do the reverse with TweenLite or Max, that should be easy. But what about the explosion itself? Can y'all just point me in the right direction, tutorials, what to search? Searching explosions per se was futile.

Actually, my first project is coming very well and I think I'll have it done within a week. I don't believe in shortcuts. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. That's why I took 4 months to build that fully automated python shopping cart, not knowing how I'd eat through that period. I ate ;) I'll eat through this period, or not, but I *will* build my Flash projects the way I see them in my head, PERIOD. Stubborn, aren't I? As far as getting the switch to flip on in my head, like I said, for whatever reason this stuff doesn't come as quickly for me as it does for the rest of you. But it *does* come...eventually. It did with Python. It will with Flash. Thanks for sending your email address. I've sent off a problem to Gustavo...see if he can help me with it. Regarding the book, I had my client buy me ActionScript 3.0 Essentials by Colin Moock. If you think I absolutely have to have another, well another would be welcomed and read. If not, thank you for the thought and effort ;) beno ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Browser levels??
Hi, I am guessing that might work, but you would possibly have problems with www. vs non-www. urls. Also, my email/text seems to have been formatted funny from pasting - it should read: (or samedomain, etc.) Glen Karl DeSaulniers wrote: What about ?

Your JavaScript would essentially be calling methods in Flash. Remember if you do this, you will need to allow JS<->Flash communication with the in your SWF embedding code. Glen Karl DeSaulniers wrote: Had a feeling Javascript would be a way. Is there a JSFL out there that would do that? Flash Javascript? Or would JSFL not be necessary? Or am I confusing the two? Just curious. I am looking to have my swf figure out if it's window is in focus and if not, clear any listeners, timers and pause any animations. Things that use system resources. I have noticed that flash tends to run hard in the background and slows my computer. Makes the fan spin hard. With fairly light graphics and code. Not sure if it is my code, but I am leaning towards not. I have been being very careful to clear listeners and timers so far.
