Hi, In a frame script I have an event listener that should call the 'onFinish' function when the tween motion is finished. (See pertinent parts in red below.) I never see that 'done tweening' output. It fails silently. I've tried the addEventListener in different places.. to no avail. What am I missing? Thanks! import fl.transitions.*; import fl.transitions.easing.*; import fl.transitions.Tween; import fl.transitions.TweenEvent; var currentFrameMC = animImg; var scaleXTween:Tween=new Tween(animImg,"scaleX",Bounce.easeOut, 1,2,2.4,true); var scaleYTween:Tween=new Tween(animImg,"scaleY",Bounce.easeOut, 1,2,2.4,true); var alphaTween:Tween = new Tween(animImg, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, .5, 1, 11, true); //Put a listener on the MC so I can tell when it's done tweening the scale. currentFrameMC.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, onFinish); //This is another event listner put on a button: //(The button, when clicked, will trigger the shrinking of the animImg MC) reverseTween1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,shrinkFrameMC); //Shrink/scale down the anImg by tweening function shrinkFrameMC(e:MouseEvent)  //This scales down the playing movie clip {  scaleXTween=new Tween(currentFrameMC,"scaleX",None.easeNone, currentFrameMC.scaleX,1,3,true); scaleYTween=new Tween(currentFrameMC,"scaleY",None.easeNone, currentFrameMC.scaleY,1,3,true); //Tween the alpha state of the movie clip again, this time in reverse alphaTween=new Tween(currentFrameMC, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 1, .5, 11, true); } function onFinish(e:TweenEvent):void //This does an action when the frame MC is done tweening {    trace ("done tweening" );    //NEVER SEE THIS OUTPUT } ...

Hi All, I'm new to AC3 so maybe I'm mistaken... but I've tried to follow the steps in this Adobe AC3 tutorial: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/creating_animation_as3.html ..very closely and I'm getting a 1093 syntax error for the code below. Does anyone have an idea what the problem is..and what the fix would be? The line in red is the one that is indicated in the error message. (It's a tutorial about making a code snippet for tweening.) Thanks much! import fl.transitions.*; import fl.transitions.easing.*; /** * This Tween sample shows a fade-in effect * by default. Change the prop, to, from, and duration * values to change the animation. You can add code * in the event handler functions to respond to animation * event timing. */ function onTweenProgress(event:TweenEvent):void {     // do something as the tween progresses... } function onTweenEnd(event:TweenEvent):void {    // do something when the tween ends... } var prop:String = “alpha”; var from:Number = 0; var to:Number = 1; var duration:Number = 1; var tween:Tween = new Tween(rect_mc, alpha, Strong.easeOut, from, to, duration, true); tween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_CHANGE, onTweenProgress); tween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, onTweenEnd); ...

Hi, I'm learning AC3. I'm using the script in an AS file to read cue points in milliseconds. These cue points are set by code in a frame script in the main timeline like this: // Create an instance of SoundSync var ss:SoundSync = new SoundSync(); // Use instance to add cue points to sound file //puts a cuePoint in the soundtrack at the millisecond location indicated after the comma ss.addCuePoint("someString1",01969); Here is the AS file script that reads these cue points: package net.quip.sound { import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.TimerEvent; import flash.media.Sound; import flash.media.SoundChannel; import flash.media.SoundLoaderContext; import flash.media.SoundTransform; import flash.net.URLRequest; import flash.utils.Timer; public class SoundSync extends Sound { // PROPERTIES private var _cuePoints:Array; private var _currentCuePoint:uint; private var _timer:Timer; private var _timerInterval:uint; private var _startTime:Number; private var _loops:uint; private var _soundChannel:SoundChannel; // CONSTRUCTOR public function SoundSync(stream:URLRequest = null, context:SoundLoaderContext = null) { super(stream, context); init(); } // METHODS // init private function init():void { _cuePoints = new Array(); _currentCuePoint = 0; _timerInterval = 50; _startTime = 0.0; } // Add Cue Point public function addCuePoint(cuePointName:String, cuePointTime:uint):void { _cuePoints.push(new CuePointEvent(CuePointEvent.CUE_POINT, cuePointName, cuePointTime)); _cuePoints.sortOn("time", Array.NUMERIC); } // Get Cue Point public function getCuePoint(nameOrTime:Object):Object { var counter:uint = 0; while (counter < _cuePoints.length) { if (typeof(nameOrTime) == "string") { if (_cuePoints[counter].name == nameOrTime) { return _cuePoints[counter]; } } else if (typeof(nameOrTime) == "number") { if (_cuePoints[counter].time == nameOrTime) { return _cuePoints[counter]; } } counter++; } return null; } // Get Current Cue Point Index private function getCurrentCuePointIndex(cuePoint:CuePointEvent):uint { var counter:uint = 0; while (counter < _cuePoints.length) { if (_cuePoints[counter].name == cuePoint.name) { return counter; } counter++; } return null; } // Get Next Cue Point Index private function getNextCuePointIndex(milliseconds:Number):uint { if (isNaN(milliseconds)) { milliseconds = 0; } var counter:uint = 0; while (counter < _cuePoints.length) { if (_cuePoints[counter].time >= milliseconds) { return counter; } counter++; } return null; } ... Here's my problem: When I set a cue point that is a minute or more (in milliseconds) as in: ss.addCuePoint("someString1", 107055); //this isn't processed by the AS script ...the cue points aren't read (nothing happens). Probably it's because I need to allow for that possibility in that AS file above. (It's not my script so I don't know how to adjust it. It's from a great tutorial by David Stiller on the Adobe site: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/actionscript/articles/cue_points_audio.html). Can anyone tell me how to adjust the AS script so I can read a cue point that goes beyond 5 places? Thanks much! ... View more

Hi All, I'm banging my head here: I have sound cues in a sound file that make tweened movie clips play. (They change alpha state so they fade up.) When I fade up one I also fade down the previous image using 'playbackwards()'. However, I need to repeat images and it looks like  if I use 'playbackwards()' on an movie clip, I don't see it when I try to play()' it again (play it forwards again). If I just make the previous image invisible when showing the next image, that previous image will show next time I need to play it...I just can't use 'playbackwards()' on it if I need to play that movie clip again. Here's some of my code: // On Cue Point function onCuePoint(event:CuePointEvent):void { //find the movie clip asociated with the string name of the cue in the soundtrack for ( var faceImg : * in faceImgs ) //run thru all mdImgs {   //if the sound cue string name = the faceImg string name   //then dissolve up the faceImg MC and dissolve down the current faceImg, if there is one   var newFaceName : String = faceImgs[ faceImg ]; if (event.name == newFaceName) //Find the faceImg MC that matches the cue point name   {      //dissolve up the new faceImg    faceImg.visible = true;    faceImg.play(); //face dissolves up    trace ("faceShowing :" + faceImg);       //dissolve down the current faceImg    currentFaceImg.playBackwards();    //currentFaceImg.stop();    //currentFaceImg.visible = false;    trace ("previous Img:  " + currentFaceImg);       //The new faceImg becomes the 'current faceImg'    currentFaceImg = faceImg;   } } } I've posted the folder with the fla file in question (and sound cue files, etc) here: http://home.comcast.net/~samiri/director/TEST_soundCues.zip Any help is greatly appreciated. ...

Hi, I'm a beginner. I have a tweened movie clip (it has a changing alpha state that makes it fade up from invisible). I hide this movie clip when the movie starts (with "myMovieClip__MC.visible = false" at the top of the frame script. My question is this: Is this movie clip still tweening while it's hidden (and using processor resources)? IOW: should I hide it AND stop it at the movie start...or is that unnecessary because when it's hidden it's stopped? Thanks ... View more

Hi All, I'm newer to Flash so don't take much for granted. I have big gaps in my understanding. I've created a motion tween (by right clickingon a movieClip on the timeline and choosing 'create motion tween'). Now I want to reverse it (using the 'yoyo' term) when the sound file is done playing. I know how to do this with a tween (using tween class) that was created with actionscript in the first place. How can I cause it to reverse if the tween isn't already (named and included) my actionscript? Thanks ... View more

I'm a novice Flash Pro user. I have a voice over sound track recorded in Adobe Audition. I inserted markers at various points (words) in the sound file. I need to make events happen in Flash when the words are spoken. Can anyone refer me to a method for reading markers (sound cues) in Flash? I just need some keywords so I can research this.  I'd greatly appreciate a tutorial on this as well. Thanks very much. Message was edited by: paul_james123 ... View more
