Hello, I've just finished processing 10 minutes of audio and the lip sync feels... off. Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online. I don't want to sound ungrateful. If I had to lipsync 10 minutes worth of audio and had to do it in real time, my results would be much worse. Though how do I polish this? Yes, I know I should do a manual pass, but is there anything I can do before that? Is there any filters I can run the audio through to give the computer a better read? Should I re-record with a webcam, so that the computer will have more lip information? Is there a big update coming out in a couple of weeks I should wait for, before re-processing? I hope I've exported this correctly. Please forgive me if it's missing an important file. I've never exported a character project before. Also, as an aside, I welcome comments on the actual content and script of my audio if the moderators don't mind a few side comments about politics or employment as an animator. (Moderators, feel free to delete this last paragraph or the word "politics" if I was out of line by saying it.)

Thanks for that. I'm not even sure how and if I will animate the eyes, but that's a good work-around to have in my tool belt. I'll leave that task for last, hoping that a future update will solve that problem for me.

Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online. That's the latest one. As you can see, I just got in all the different jaw positions. I'm about to do the lips.

Yes, they are. I changed the names to "right socket" and "left socket". They are no longer being incorrectly tagged, yet they still have the same error. I'll post an updated file in a few minutes.

Sorry, but the file that had this error was updated and eventually became the file I'm showing in the other thread. However, once I get the pupils contained, I'll try to replicate the error. If I can't, we'll just assume that the error was on my part, not the program's.

Hello, I posted a similar topic earlier, and the problem was solved, for a bit. Everything was working fine, and then stopped. It might be the eyelashes that's causing the problem, but I really don't know. The pupils aren't staying inside the pupil range objects. They were before, but they're not now. I'm sure I've done something stupid, but I don't know what. Did I mess up the structure again? (You'll need to turn the guide layer off when opening for the first time.)

This may seem strange, but it seems that pupils follow the X behaviour of their bounding boxes correctly, but follow the Y behaviour of their alternate bounding box. An easy bug to miss, given that pupils generally mirror each other on the Y plane. To replicate this error, make a puppet with two eyes of different heights and sizes.

Today I decided to try and work around that error, making my puppet myself based on yours without invoking the error that yours did. And... whatever error I got before, I can't replicate it. Good news I guess. Maybe it was patched in an update I didn't realise I installed. I dunno. Anyway, now that that error is gone I can really admire the work you put into the example. Exactly what I needed to get unstuck and hopefully finish this puppet. Thanks.

"TypeError: Cannot read property 'getEvaulator' of undefined Error code: (engine.js:394)" I'm guessing that 'getEvaluator' was intended instead of 'getEvaulator'.

Also, while you're looking at it, could you explain to me why one eyebrow goes higher than the other? I thought I coded them identical, and the camera dots don't look that far different.

Wow, I was just watching your tutorial. Good tutorial by the way. Wouldn't have got this far without it. Here it is Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online. I'm sure it is, but it's a very odd issue that the mouse but not camera works on one eye, but the camera and not mouse works on the other. Just the fact that that error is even possible means I must've fundamentally misunderstood something critical about how this software works.

Sorry if this is not the correct location for Character Animator questions, or if discussing Beta products is strictly forbidden. Not sure how it works here. Anyway, my puppet has one eye that's half constructed and one eye that's mostly constructed. The half constructed eye can animate to the mouse, but not to the camera. The fully constructed eye can animate to the camera, but not the mouse. Could anyone please explain why they don't both animate to both? I can upload my work in progress if required.

I've been putting this off, because I know from experience that debugging is a lot easier if the error is corrected the same day it was made. So I had to be alert and prepared for the hours upon hours of debugging that would follow this. Nope, worked first time. I'm always startled when things work the way I intended them.

Ah good. Thanks. Now it's a lot more Dummies-Guide-To. I'll try it tomorrow, though if you can see anything in there that could be dumbed down further, it might be a big help.

Nice work again Colin. My brain is too sleepy right now to be able to follow those instructions, but I do think I understand. So Ctrl + A then F8 to turn everything into a movie clip?

I'm not asking how to start a project, but how to salvage one. All I want to do is create a new document class script and have the current document class script called on scene 2. I'm asking literally, what I should click and/or type to make this happen.

I started creating a game, and did a lot of work regarding handling of player controls in the document class. Now, I added a scene and a menu. Menu navigation requires a completely different control scheme, and my old script keeps calling useless functions that just waste processor time at best, or create name conflicts and bugs at worst. My first instinct is to copy/paste everything into frame 1 of the scene that isn't a menu, but isn't there a better way? How do I stop my document script from loading until the game has begun?

I've been looking for a tutorial where I could find out how to do all of the typical options-menu-type-stuff in one place, but no luck so far. This stuff includes, but is not limited to: -Volume sliders -Key rebinding -Controller support -Full screen/windowed I'm sure I'll think of more later, but that's all that springs to mind. If no tutorial is available, I'd at least like to know which actionscript commands change those things.

Ignore that last one. I figured it out. I just have to start the command with "Jimulator." because that is the name of the document class. I thought it would be more complex, because jaw is inside jim, which is inside jimulator, making the relationship grandparent-grandchild, but apparently it doesn't work like that.

The bug is actually a lot worse than that, but you're correct, that would fix the error. The solution is for the jaw's timeline to change a Boolean value in the document class. Could you please tell me the correct syntax for that? I really struggle with knowing how to get things to call each other if they're in different places.

I made progress! It comes down to: MovieClip(parent).enableRight(); MovieClip(parent).enableLeft(); vs MovieClip(parent).enableLeft(); MovieClip(parent).enableRight(); Which ever command goes second crashes. Whichever command goes first works fine. Given that clue, I think I have a few ideas as to what is causing the problem. If you don't hear back from me this week, it means that I've solved it.

I have been looking over your solutions, and I'm thinking, "why not just leave the error in?" The program otherwise functions as it should (I think) and although your solution will stop the error from appearing, will it give the final project a performance boost? I know performance isn't everything, and following conventions, avoiding error messages, and having it readable by other programmers is important too. But as things scale up, performance will become more important. That said, the thing that has really been doing my head in, is why does the error only happen when he's walking to the left? I've gone over my code so many times, and every single element of it is exactly symmetrical.

That was so helpful, and so much effort on your part, I looked up the MVP program to see what you were getting out of it. It seems you are earning points towards a $50 gift voucher. Huh. I think Adobe needs to take better care of you. I may have given up my subscription entirely if you hadn't fixed that for me. (I'm assuming it's fixed. I haven't implemented it yet.) I'll reply again in an hour or so and let you know how it went.

It's a fan game, so I'm hoping that no members of the fan community are in this forum, or even if they are, they know to keep everything secret until I'm ready to release it for free on Newgrounds.com Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Creat... ​ ​To replicate the error: ​-press and hold the left arrow ​-press and hold "z" while holding the left arrow ​-release "z" ​-close the program ​-find the error by scrolling up in the output window ​ ​Thanks for your time. ​ ​Notes: ​-the behaviour should be symmetrical, but the error only happens when moving left.

Strict mode was never off. This is what I wrote " MovieClip(parent).enableLeft(); MovieClip(parent).enableRight(); " This is code that works exactly as required in the parent enableLeft() enableRight() The only typos I see is in the code that worked, I forgot to end each line with ";" but it still works.
