Re: [Flashcoders] Best way to control game character animations
Well I figured out the problem, it once more was caused by modifications in the display list during an input event... calling updateAfterEvent() solved all the blinking issues. I'm still getting used to that... seems like it's easy to mess things up if you forget to call it. But I'm glad I can still get to control the animations adding and removing MovieClips as needed. I took a look at the scrollRect stuff, but that's for optimizing... I'm not that far yet :) Just have to get the animations to work first. Thanks for the feedback!

can you set their visability? (AS3 noob i am) B.

[Flashcoders] Best way to control game character animations
Hello list, I've been fiddling around with character animations for use in AS3 flash games. What's not clear to me is the animation control. What's the best way to switch the current animation of the character? I tried having each animation in its own MovieClip, and add/remove and play/stop them as necessary, but this causes blinking problems in slower machines (you can sometimes see the character disappearing and appearing when the animation switches), which's not a good thing. I believe this is related to the asyncronous nature of the flash player. What I'm doing now is have a master MovieClip that contains one character animation in each frame, and switch between them as needed. This looks a little clumsy to me, as objects get created/destroyed unnecessarily, and it's hard to manage them. Is this the only way to go, or is there a better solution? Any hints on this would be really appreciated.
