Thanks JC. Simpler than I'd expected. The only remaining question would be - is it possible to access the 'maintain size' option via scripting? Couldn't see that in the console. I'd like to prevent objects scaling when I change layer depth.* regards Paul * Strangely, object are now not scaling when I change depth. Not sure if that's due to my coding...

Hi Wondering if anyone has a method for accessing the new Layer Depth feature via Javascript (in HTML Canvas mode). Essentially, I'd like to be able to change layer depth based on mouse interactions.

Slight cringe factor with the manual tweaks as you say, but pretty amazing none the less! I'm in the process of creating an animated short where we need 'realistic' people to be doing regular stuff - cycling, walking, using a wheelchair etc., so this is going to be useful. Hopefully CA will develop in this direction...

Very nice. I'm wondering if it would make sense for the pedals to be literally attached to the rider's feet, as they essentially remain flat. It's the joining strut part of the pedals that rotates around a center point.

Thanks - I was thinking along similar lines, but still finding my way around the software. Presumably, cycle layers are a solution, but then rely to a large extent on drawing individual positions (which then requires more skill), rather than automating movement - i.e walk cycles.

I'm wondering whether anyone has any ideas regarding animating a character riding a bike. I know this can be done in After Effects (or Animate even...), but seems like it would be a nice thing to do in Character Animator. I'm thinking about bringing in a puppet for the bike, and applying walk behaviour to a character to get the leg movement.

Well, my intention was to be able to track the current frame, so as to send the playback head to a corresponding frame on mouse out. I don't think frame labels would solve the problem. I'm basically trying to emulate a simple CSS transition on hover style effect. Anyway thanks for your input with the tween library, that's obviously a much better approach.

One question: Assuming other properties can be tweened - i.e alpha, color, position etc., is there a particular syntax for that? For example would this work: createjs.Tween.get(button, {override:true}).to({alpha:0.5}, 1000 * transitionTime, createjs.Ease.quadOut);

Ok, that's a much more concise solution. I've just tried it and it works perfectly. I'll have to learn create.js... Thanks!

Thanks for the response, much appreciated. As you say, it's a lot more code, but I can certainly see the advantages of doing this using a completely different approach. Having said that, I'm still hoping for an explanation as to why my code doesn't work.

I'm attempting to create a self-contained animated button. I.e, the scripting is within the movie clip, rather than on the main timeline, so I can use multiple instances of the button. The visual effect is mouseover to play 'in' (for example, circle becomes bigger), stop, then mouseover to play 'out' (circle becomes smaller again). My mc has 20 frames, with a simple a/b/a tween. My main script is on frame 1, and there's a this.stop() on frame 10. Mouse over should play the next frame. On mouse out it should go to the corresponding 'out' frame - i.e. if you move the mouse out while you are on frame 5, it should play frame 16: (20 - (5+1)). The code seems to work on mouse over, but is very flaky for mouse out. When I place the code on the main timeline and reference a specific instance name, it works better, but still the occasional glitch. Not sure if this is an error in my logic (probably), or something else. Any help would be appreciated. this.stop(); stage.enableMouseOver(10); this.addEventListener("mouseover", over.bind(this)); function over() { this.gotoAndPlay(this.currentFrame+1); } this.addEventListener("mouseout", out.bind(this)); function out() { this.gotoAndPlay(this.totalFrames-(this.currentFrame)+1); }
