how to use motion xml in as3

[udik]

the following is the result of exporting motion preset to xml.

<Motion duration="1" xmlns="fl.motion.*" xmlns:geom="flash.geom.*" xmlns:filters="flash.filters.*">

<source>

  <Source frameRate="24" x="449.5" y="138.55" scaleX="1" scaleY="1" rotation="0" elementType="movie clip" instanceName="ball" symbolName="ball">

  <dimensions>

  <geom:Rectangle left="-51.5" top="-51.5" width="103" height="103"/>

  </dimensions>

  <transformationPoint>

  <geom:Point x="0.5" y="0.9956310679611651"/>

  </transformationPoint>

  </Source>

</source>

<Keyframe index="0"/>

</Motion>

can some one show me how the as3 script in flash should be in order to set the motion to my "ball" mc in the fla?

i don't see any motion there but you would use the animator class to apply xml motion:

var anim:Animator=new Animator(yourxml,ball);

anim.play();

kglad please help

all i need is to apply  preset motion called multiple_bounce to movie clip "ball"  on stage using as3.

i understand that i have to export the preset motion as xml and than load it to my script.

i did the following:

var myXML:XML;

var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

myLoader.load(new URLRequest("oman3d.xml"));

myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);

function processXML(e:Event):void {
myXML = new XML(e.target.data);
trace(myXML);
}

what is my mistake?

[kglad]

use:

var myXML:XML;

var anim:Animator;

var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

myLoader.load(new URLRequest("oman3d.xml"));

myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);

function processXML(e:Event):void {
myXML = XML(e.target.data);

animr=new Animator(myXML,ball);

anim.play();

}

excellent thank you

now i have new issue:

i have several mc on stage. i need each one of them to be animated when clicking on it. for that i need var which identify the mc.

var my_animator:Animator = new Animator(my_tween_xml, required_mc);

i tried doing it by creating a var

var required_mc:String

and on clicking on each mc :

required_mc=evt.target.name 

but it does not work.

thank you

you can't use a string.  use the movieclip, evt.target not evt.target.name.

(p.s when using the adobe forums, please mark helpful/correct responses, if there are any.)

[udik]

when i use

event.target

i trace

[object MovieClip]

without the mc

[kglad]

the trace is expected and adds no significant info.  if you're having a problem with something you should probably start a new thread because it looks like the problem is unrelated to this topic.
