RE: [Flashcoders] Loading library movie clips sequentially? Best way todo this?
I use fusekit(http://www.mosessupposes.com), it's great for animation
sequences.
-Andy Stone
Here's an example of how I might do it...
import com.mosesSupposes.fuse.*;
ZigoEngine.register(PennerEasing, Shortcuts, FuseFMP, FuseItem);
//
var numOfClips = 3;
var currentClip = 1;
//the clips/images to load
var clipsToLoad:Array = [img1.jpg, img2.jpg, img3.jpg];
//the final x y positions..
var clipPositions:Array = [[100, 100], [200, 200], [300, 300]];
//this is you callback, it will be called when the last animation finishes
function loadClips() {
if (currentClip=clipsToLoad.length) {
var created = createEmptyMovieClip(container_+currentClip,
currentClip);
mcLoader.loadClip(clipsToLoad[currentClip-1], created);
}
}
function moveClip() {
var del = .0;
var ease = easeOutBounce;
var pos1 = clipPositions[currentClip-1][0];
var pos2 = clipPositions[currentClip-1][1];
ZigoEngine.doShortcut(this[container_+currentClip], tween,
[_x, _y], [pos1, pos2], 1, ease, del, loadClips);
}
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(mclListener);
mclListener.onLoadComplete = function(mc:MovieClip) {
moveClip();
currentClip++;
};
loadClips();
//hope this helps

Subject: [Flashcoders] Loading library movie clips sequentially? Best way
todo this?
Hello,
Here is the scoop: I have 36 movie clips in my library that get placed
on stage via actionscript...
Long story short, I would like to load each clip one at a time, for
example: movie_clip-01 fully loads and animates into position, then
movie_clip-02 loads and animates into position, (...), and finally
movie_clip-36 loads and animates into position. Basically, I want to
break-up the load across time, vs. doing it all at the beginning.
Just wondering if the above idea makes sense? Is it standard to do that
type of loading from the library at runtime, or should I be working with
36 external swf files?
Anyone seen any tutorials and/or example files on the web that cover
this type of loading?
Any tips/suggestions/links/rtfm's (with page #) ya'll can send my way
would be kick-butt! :)
Sorry if noob question... I am just now getting back into Flash after a
2-year hiatus.
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Micky

RE: [Flashcoders] Loading library movie clips sequentially? Best way todo this?
I have found a major issue with the Fuse kit - it's huge and has huge
overhead. It's a great set of classes, does some neat things, don't get
me wrong, but I found that using it in code-intensive app brought it
down and made it unusable. I switched back to the built-in Tween and
Transition classes in the same application and using the
onMotionFinished event and such things went back to normal. I only
respond because you were asking for the best way to do this. - this
was just my experience.

Hi Jason, thanks for input, I really appreciate your time and insight. Merrill, Jason wrote: ... snip ... onMotionFinished event and such things went back to normal. I only respond because you were asking for the best way to do this. - this was just my experience. For sure. The best way is something I strive for in my work. Fusekit looks pretty cool, and I am sure it is time saving depending on proj. But, it may be a bit too much for what I am going for... Also, I think this would be a good situation for me to learn a few new things about AS. Although, that code Andy posted looks like exactly what I need! Lol, it is so tempting to *not* reinvent the wheel. Haha. Basically, I just want to load all 36 6-frame animations, one at a time, with a bit of easing animation (i.e. loads, then moves into position along the y-axis) and then load/animate the next. I guess that sounds pretty simple... Just need to put it all together in my head. :D Thanks Jason!
