• video clips: 'visible' vs. 'stop' to the extent of the performance of the Fla

  Hi all

  I would like to know if I should stop an FLV to play but also make invisible (MC.visible = false) as a 'best practice '. Is a film invisible clip - that has not stopped cost more as much as the performance of the processor a clip that was at once arrested and made invisible?

  Thank you

  a flv is a video file which is usually played in a flvplayback component or using the netstream class.  You can call the flvplayback component a movieclip.

  in all cases, it is more effective to remove unnecessary items from the display list (using removeChild, for example), remove their listeners (if there is) and null all references.

  stop actually play the movieclip flvplayback component or sceneline usually doesn't do much to help the performance of swf.  make an invisible object can help (usually small) video performance.

• Flash ActionScript 3.0 stop all video clips

  Hello everyone. I was hoping that someone could share some knowledge of AS3 with me

  -Situation I have several frames. Each image contains a movieclip. Each movie clip has audio and a plaintiff bar. Is there a next button to switch between the images in the main timeline and back.

  Question- When you press back or next button, movieclip audio does not stop and it overlaps the next or previous image!

  Desired result- When you click the next or back button, it will stop 'none' movieclip that plays before going to the previous or next frame.

  I think I'll be having a lot of frames (so a lot of clips), coding so individually each back/forward per image for a specific movieclip button is a bit complicated and reveals be buggy at this stage.

  
  

  Question- Is there, and if there is, what is the function to movieclips all stop playing?

  for example

  function next(Event:MouseEvent):void {}

  < stop(); all video clips >

  nextFrame();

  }

  next_btn.addEventlistener (MouseEvent.Click, Next);

  Thank you all! Your insight is most welcome and will be appreciated.

  You can use:

  function stopAllF(mc:*):void {}

  MC. Stop();

  If (mc's MovieClip) {}

  for (var i: int = 0; i<>

  If (MC.getChildAt (i) is the MovieClip) {}

  stopAllF (MovieClip (mc.getChildAt (i)));

  }

  }

  }

  }

  but I would recommend that you use the removedfromstage for flvplayback components code and leave stopAllF it was like that.

  BTW, if you have a small number of movieclips to stop on an image, and they have no child movieclips that need to be stopped, the same code removedfromstage works for them too.

  and again, please check the answers useful/correct.

• Video clips will play only for a second before stopping in Movie Maker

  I am experienced with Movie Maker, but now when I try to set up a series of video clips, the video only play for one second (literally) before coming to rest. I tried several video formats without success. I am currently on updates and have never had this problem before. WMV files are choppy and slow and sometimes stop, too.

  Hi NessaWest,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. you receive an error message?

  I suggest that you disable audio and video filters in Windows movie maker and check if it helps.

  Video and audio filters are programs that are installed on your computer that help interpret video files so that they will display and play correctly. Windows Movie Maker uses when you import a video and audio, extract your project on the table of storyboard / timeline, and when you publish a movie.

  (a) open Windows movie maker

  (b) click on Toolsand then click Options.

  (c) click on the compatibility tab.

  (d) do one of the following:

  ·        To turn off a filter, clear the check box next to the name of the video filter.

  ·        To activate a filter, select the check box next to the name of the video filter.

  ·        To restore the default list, click restore all defaults.

  When you restore the default settings, the list and the filters settings are given to the last known good setting.

• How to stop the code that adds video clips

  Hello

  I have a code simply adding video clips. Video clips are on the same time move along the stage.

  The first clip is already on the scene and the code should add three more. Clips of three film set with the instructions if are added correctly (for positions origX and origY).

  But after adding the three, he keeps adding them. And not at all defined first x and y, but x = 0 and y = 0.

  How can I stop it after you add the three?

  The code is in a separate class file.

  Thanks in advance!

  Duck/public class extends MovieClip

  {

  var origX: number;

  var origY: number;

  var i: int;

  var newDuck: party;

  public void Duck()

  {

  origX = this.x;

  origY = this.y;

  this.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveDuck);

  }

  function moveDuck(event: Event): void

  {

  This.x += 0.25;

  If (this.x is origX + 50)

  {

  addDuck();

  }

  If (this.x is origX + 75)

  {

  addDuck();

  }

  If (this.x is origX + 100)

  {

  addDuck();

  }

  }

  function addDuck(): void

  {

  newDuck = new part();

  parent.addChild (newDuck);

  newDuck.scaleX = 0.55;

  newDuck.scaleY = newDuck.scaleX;

  newDuck.x = origX;

  newDuck.y = origY;

  }

  }

  You operate Duck() instanciates an enterFrame function that actually creates instances the duck on the scene. Once started, there is nothing to say things to stop creating new ducks. You can add a loop for which counts the number of ducks you want and then kills the enterframe function. I don't know why your x and y values are reset to 0.

• Is there a way to clear all event listeners, to stop all the video clips, etc.?

  Is there a syntax for that?

  I have a movie that has 15 images. Each image has integrated video clips in video clips, tons of entertainment and event listeners. None is needed except when they are on the scene, on the frame. However, the animations continue even when the frame is left.

  For example, I have a framework that shows a rendered animation dynamically the leaves that fall from the tree. When the frame is left, the leaves continue to decline.

  There are many cases of this kind of thing happens.

  
  Ideally, I'd like to just be able to erase everything when a new image is loaded, since no animations or postponed event from one image to the other listeners.

  
  Is it possible to do it without the thousands of lines of code it would take to manually remove all single animation and event listener and sounds, etc., of the scene?

  Thank you very much!

  Amber

  You must do it manually.

  or, you can convert each image into a swf file.  load each swf when necessary and, if you're publishing to fp 10 +, you can apply unloadAndStop() to kill all the flows in the SWF loaded and ready these assets to gc.

• Difficulties and video clips

  It's really irking me.

  I am extremely new to Flash so please bear with me. I guess that it is a simple, easy to fix problem I'm having. I have Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5.

  What I'm trying to do is a sequence of images after other video clips will stop display.

  The sequence of images does what it is supposed to and working properly, and the other clips are also successful. However, whenever I try to put the clips of film for images in frames or keyframes, start video clips will only play part of the path before the images appear. This happens even if the clips of images are on images/keyframes (I tried both) after the other movie clips.

  The clips that are supposed to play first are each on a separate layer and there are two of them.

  The first layer is called 'tree' and the second is called "text".

  The tree stratum is an animated gif image 45 that I shot in a clip. I created a motion tween and changed his alpha for the gif has a fading in and out effect. I also so that he stops to play again once it reaches the last frame. I am not using stop(); for this.

  The text layer has an animated gif image 40 I also turned into a gif. This gif is also a clip and also the motion tween. His alpha was also changed.

  Trees and text play together successfully, and how I want that they.

  The sequence of images is three separate images, each a different layer, which fade into eachother. These images are PNG, so they are not gifs or they have their own frames.

  The lower layer is called level 1 and executives 1 to 50 of adjustments of interpolation and motion alpha fading the png image. The image is a clip.

  The layer on top is called floor2 and has different 51-100 of a png image fade-in frames.

  The layer is called floor3 and a frames 101-150 d'enieme png fading.

  The images are successful doing what they are supposed to.

  Text and tree layers are a fla file and floor3, floor2 and layers level 1 a fla file.

  When I copy the images of level 1, floor2 and floor3 layers in a keyframe after the text layer and trees, they yield correctly, but when I test the movie, the sequence of images appears much earlier than it's supposed to, interrupting the video clips on the text of layers and the tree. I tried to move keyframes of the ground # layers farther down the timeline, but then the other clips of movie just stop.

  In the fla file with text layers and FIR, I have imported gifs in the library and then put them on the stage.

  In the FLA with layers of ground #, I imported the pngs in the scene.

  Here's what look like text layers and the tree:

  

  The layers of soil look like: #

  

  The rest of the frames the floor #s...

  

  So, I thought that the problem was that I had to delay the image when. I looked around and found no code or anything for that...

  Later, I thought it was because I had imported the tree and text gifs to the library before putting them on the scene.

  I open a new fla and imported gif 'tree' directly to the scene.

  I thought it should work because then he would show each individual image in the video clips, which is not in the photos above. By importing the gif like this, it shows the individual images. I tested with the sequence of images and it works fine. But I have a problem with this method too...

  I select all the frames for the gif convert to symbol, so I can add a motion tween and mess with the alpha. However, only the last picture is converted to a clip. Well actually no... Only circled below executives turned in the clip. Even when all frames are selected.  Is not very useful because then I can not change the alpha for the entire gif or I can create a motion tween without getting a message saying that the motion tween could not be applied to all managers.

  Looks like this version of 'the tree '.

  

  And executives so then continue up to 135.

  Executives who are light in the video are below.

  

  If I can solve the problem I'm having with the tree displayed in the two images above this sentence, then I can view video clips and image sequence without problem. It is not quite how I intended it to be, but she would be successful and would continue to operate.

  If I can fix the problem with the sequence of images showing early up to tree and clips of text is cut, then this project would be as successful and it would be how I wanted it to be.

  If you need more information, let me know and I'll explain something better.

  I am not prepared to provide a download link in this forum for my fla files, but I can send to you if you want to look. I don't want someone to be able to find them and take them by doing a google search.

  I downloaded two sovereign wealth funds however.

  The first is the tree and text layers/clips work as they are supposed to. The second is to do what it is supposed to be the sequence of images (level 1, floor2, floor3).

  Text and tree: http://glassoliverdesigns.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/6/5/10653451/tfg1.swf

  Level 1, floor2, floor3: http://glassoliverdesigns.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/6/5/10653451/tfg2.swf

  Notice how Flash swf, when the text stops the thing in the background at the end of the text and trees. If who can Flash WHILE the images appear, then that would be great.

  TL; DR: I want the # flash ground appears after the text and tree flash, but I continue problems and nothing I try is not working properly.

  Very concise question, enjoy the screenshots. Keyframes, one thing that the motion tweens do not always show very well. I would like to clear up a few things and see if it helps.

  Return to what you wanted to do originally, which is to copy the images from one document to the other. That's perfectly fine and to clear up, it will also copy library items (images, clips, etc.) that are required to copy these images for you, you don't need to import them yourself.

  To copy images (no symbols) successfully, select the first frame of the frames that you want to copy, hold down SHIFT and select the last frame (or even double clicking anywhere in the blue motion tween should select all as well). Now do a right click and "copy managers." Now, go to your new document, select an image, right click and select Paste images. You will see the same copied frames, blue representing the keyframes and tween came with it, and finally you'll notice all your images/etc have been copied to your library.

  Now is the right time to manage the background image library that was just copied, if you're a freak like me cleaning.

  This process is the same whether you have tried, for other documents that you want to copy to. If all resources correspond to the name then Flash will ask you if you want to "crush" this library item. If you do that, you altérerez one of your previous animations. Make sure that this is not the case.

  The witch hunt common here is not knowing how to slide frames properly. If the replacement is not the problem, it's what I suspect is your problem and you expand / reduce the timeline keyframes do not go with you.

  For example if I import 2 clips with fade in/out and move the keyframes that you did, I'll have something like this:

  

  Now, by moving more I would be very careful to select all the images I want to pass through the above methods. Click on the first picture, hold down SHIFT and select the last image or double-click anywhere in the middle of the blue. The selection of executives:

  

  Now, I just slide my images selected in the view of law, keyframes remain as it should (black dots):

  

  Playback of the animation as expected.

  Finally I don't know if you've used the Panel, but you really should get used to the query editor. This gives you control over the relaxation as well as shows you a view on key images that exist in a motion tween is selected.

  Initially, this Panel may seem complex, but it simply represents the basic properties that you can animate. All the more you animate properties can be added here. I moved the X, Y and Alpha properties of my object. So you can see what I was doing on the periods of 30 to 60. You can also adjust basic relaxation here.

  

  If your animation look not correct, you can select a motion tween, open the query editor and check the keyframes appear correct. Scrub the timeline and look at the values you are interested in. For example, Alpha for you.

  If you do not see the keyframes when you scrub the timeline, you moved your bad frames and keyframes exist probably in a different place, and therefore it seems incorrect.

• How to apply to video clip where he stand?

  I have 2 pages: page1 and page2.

  I have 2 buttons to travell from page 1 to page 2 to page 1 and page 2.

  I have the video clip with the instance name nayshniki_mc.

  How I do not understand where my nayshniki_mc is now? On page 1 or page 2? As I use labels for move me from page 1 to page 2.

  Code:

  page1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goToPage1);
  page2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goToPage2);
  
  function goToPage1(event:MouseEvent):void {
       gotoAndStop('page1');

  function goToPage2(event:MouseEvent):void {
       gotoAndStop('page2');
  }
  
  trace('how i can get info where my nayshniki_mc now? on page1 or on page2? i need ask just nayshniki_mc, and i must understand what label now..');
  
  stop();
  

  also enclosed img and. Fla.

  Yes and no.  You can only claim a chronology which have labels of what label she is involved with.  If you want your child movieclip to know what image of the parent movie clip tag it is currently in, then you can use... MovieClip (parent) .currentLabel;

• Video clips play in reverse in AS 3.0

  Hey all. I change all my files in AS 3.0 because of a few new elements, I would like to use in flash CS4.
  Here: http://www.iaw-atlanta.com/IvyLeague1-13-09.html I have the bottom navigation menu with 4 buttons. When the buttons are speckled on they go up and when they are mottled the film plays in reverse so they go down. Essentially in the clip, I stopped him, and the next frame gotoAndStop when the button is wriggle on and then have a script of saying things reverse when wriggle on. I know how to do this in AS 2.0, but how can I translate the script to 3.0?

  DjPhantasy5,

  > Ok thanks, I'll see what he also has to say as well.

  In fact, NedWebs pretty much nailed. :) The approach you have taken
  is an interesting question, because it evolves all the way back to Flash Player 5.
  has not yet supported the MovieClip.onEnterFrame event. Without
  event, you need something like your "controller" - a separate symbol
  a loop of timeline - to run the code that depends on the loops of the frame.

  Available from Flash Player 6, this event allows you to
  consolidate your code a bit by putting everything in a unique setting and avoiding
  the additional movie clip symbol. This does not mean that your approach is wrong, by
  any stretching. In fact, it's good to know your options, because if you always
  need to publish for Flash Player 5, you had probably better to use the installation program
  you took.

  I'll demonstrate onEnterFrame in just a bit, in case you want to take a
  Watch this.

  > There is no mention of _root in AS3, but you can use a
  > MovieClip (this.parent) (which replaces what _parent)
  (> used to do) to find something outside the immediate
  > movieclip.

  The term "parent" in this context, is technically a property of the
  The class MovieClip, which means all the clips in AS3 have access to the
  feature 'parent', which points to the timeline that contains the video
  in question. Buttons have also a property 'parent '. In AS2,
  property has done exactly the same thing, only it was preceded by an underscore.

  In fact, the proposed codification of the NedWebs works the same in your existin file.
  Instead:

  Your existing code...
  If {(_root.animation._currentframe>1)}
  _root. Animation.prevFrame ();
  this.gotoAndPlay (2)
  }

  If (_root.animation._currentframe<=1)>
  this.gotoAndStop (1);
  }

  ... you can use this:

  Alternative code...
  If {(_parent.animation._currentframe>1)}
  _parent. Animation.prevFrame ();
  gotoAndPlay (2)
  }

  If (_parent.animation._currentframe<=1)>
  gotoAndStop (1);
  }

  ... because this range - in other words, from this point of view - this
  MovieClip._parent property points to the same scenario as _root done.
  That changes, of course, based on how deeply nested the current scope are.
  The word 'this' in the code above is optional, because Flash understand
  What place you are in. From the point of view of the present code, _parent is
  interpreted as referring to chronology parent of the current, just as scope
  gotoAndPlay() is interpreted to the timeline of the current scope.
  You might precede either of those of 'this' or not.

  Many people will say that _root is probably best to avoid, only because
  It's a slippery slope. It does not always refer to the main timeline you
  think he does, according to whether or not your file SWF is loaded in another
  SWF when running. Meanwhile, _parent * always * refers to the immediately
  relative chronology.

  Then, when you look at this way, this perfectly valid AS2:

  If {(_parent.animation._currentframe>1)}

  ... is not very different at all from its counterpart of the AS3:

  If (MovieClip (parent).animation.currentFrame > 1) {}

  It would be nicer if you need convert the parent as a reference
  Movie clip here, but if you haven't, AS3 do not realize that the scope in
  This is a clip.

  > You can string them along like...
  > MovieClip (this.parent.parent)

  Exactly.

  > Your _currentframe in becomes the controller
  > currentFrame. That's all. The rest of what I have
  > saw will fly as is.

  Not quite. AS3 does not support on() or onClipEvent(), functions
  you will not be able to reach your management code for the button. Instead,.
  you will have to put in a keyframe - you can also do with AS2. There
  a good idea, anyway, because it allows to put all your code in a
  place, making it easier to find.

  Here's a quick word on the direct attachment:

  http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/Flash/museum-pieces-on-and-onClipEvent

  To convert your existing AS3 FLA structure, you could, for example.
  follow these steps:

  animation.buttonMode = true;
  animation.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, outHandler);
  animation.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overHandler);

  function outHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {}
  controller.gotoAndPlay (2);
  };
  function overHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {}
  controller.gotoAndPlay (4);
  };

  That supports the code on (rollout) and executed in your current
  Version. The first line (buttonMode) is necessary because I got rid of
  the symbol button and, instead, handlers directly associated with
  your movie clip. (Video clips manage events of type button, too, if you)
  do not need the button.) In AS3, event handling is very simple:
  you are referencing the object (here, animation), invoke its hereditary
  addEventListener() method, then passes two parameters: a) the event to
  Listening and (b) the function to execute when the event occurs.

  You can see that noted above. In AS2, there are several ways
  to handle events, including one () /onClipEvent (), so it is harder to know when
  to use what approach. For the buttons and video clips, the principle works the
  same I just showed, but the syntax is different.

  Let's take a look to reduce all this code using the
  onEnterFrame event. First of all, check out this AS2 version:

  animation.onRollOut = outHandler;
  animation.onRollOver = overHandler;

  function outHandler (): Void {}
  this.onEnterFrame = reversePlay;
  };
  function overHandler (): Void {}
  this.onEnterFrame = null;
  This.Play ();
  };
  function reversePlay (): Void {}
  this.prevFrame ();
  };

  This code would appear in box 1. You don't need the controller
  video clip. The movie clip contains more an orb button, because
  We use the animation itself as the 'button '. (You can still see what)
  a feature that any object is looking toward the top of its class. If you are dealing
  with a clip, see the MovieClip class. See the position properties
  to find out what features of the object, see methods to know
  what the object can do and see events to find out what the object can respond
  (to).

  In the code above, it is prepared quite easily. It is AS2,
  don't forget. We have two events, we are listening to: MovieClip.onRollOut and
  MovieClip.onRollOver. these events are set up for the animated film
  clip using the name of the instance and associated to custom match
  functions. The outHandler() function associates a different function to the
  MovieClip.onEnterFrame event of the animation clip. Very simply, it
  load of animation to make the custom function reversePlay() whenever
  He meets an onEnterFrame event. The overHandler() function that kills the
  Association of suppression outside and saying animation to play, via the
  MovieClip.play () method. Finally, the reversePlay() function simply calls
  MovieClip.prevFrame () on the movie clip.

  Here's the AS3 version:

  animation.buttonMode = true;
  animation.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, outHandler);
  animation.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overHandler);

  function outHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {}
  animation.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, reversePlay);
  };
  function overHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {}
  animation.removeEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, reversePlay);
  Animation.Play ();
  };
  function reversePlay(evt:Event):void {}
  evt.target.prevFrame ();
  };

  It seems wordier, but if you look closely, you will see that there
  essentially the same thing. The main difference is the scope of operation in
  AS3. In AS2, there are many references to "it", because the event
  Manager operating in the same scope as the object to which the
  Association is formed. In AS3, the references are not to "that", but rather to
  the same movie clip by his * name *, because in AS3, the scope
  works in the same scenario in which the code is displayed (IE, in this)
  case, the main timeline).

  In the function reversePlay(), in order to emulate a 'this' kind of
  the installer, I refer to the parameter that is passed to the event handler all the
  functions in AS3. I happened to name "TTE" (for the event), but you can call
  it what you like. In the case of reversePlay(), the evt parameter refers to
  an instance of the event class, which has a property to target. The target
  property refers to the object that sent the event - is be
  animation, in this case. Then evt.target, in this context, refers to
  animation, that's what I call the MovieClip.prevFrame () method on.

  At this point, I also create a text field and add it as a child for new film clip.
  
  now my problem is I want the clip to be clickable so that a user can maniuplate it. However if the click click on the text field, I get an error saying: it cannot be converted into a clip. Yes I cast the object selected as a clip :) I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of apporaching, like its drivign me crazy slow.

• Video clip of Drag AND change of cursor

  Is there another way to change the icon of the other than for startDrag/hidecursor use cursor? I have a SWF that uses stopDrags to another clip, and of course every time that the script stopDrag is called following the judgment of the cursor. Any ideas?

  Sure thing. It, just put the cursor x and is coordinated at
  the mouse on a kind of rehearsal loop, like MovieClip.onEnterFrame
  or setInterval() in ActionScript 2.0 or Event.ENTER_FRAME or the Timer class
  in ActionScript 3.0.

  Included; makes perfect sense. Here's a short article that shows my
  above the suggestion in a slightly different way. It is certainly more complex
  that you're asking for, but the same mechanism applies.

  http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/Flash/ActionScript-20/how-to-constrain-circle

  In this article, the loop of 'slide' is based on the
  MovieClip.onMouseMove events in ActionScript 2.0. The article goes into some
  detail explaining the process, but here is a quick example. What follows
  assumes that your video clip of "cursor" contains the instance name mcCursor.

  mcCursor.onEnterFrame = function (): Void {}
  This ._x = _root._xmouse;
  This ._y = _root._ymouse;
  }

  It's a simple MovieClip.onEnterFrame approach. A function is affected
  in the event the mcCursor clip MovieClip.onEnterFrame. The
  function sets the MovieClip._x and MovieClip._y of this clip properties
  in the corresponding properties of mouse from the main timeline. The main
  timeline (here referenced by _root) is, in fact, a clip, that's why
  a reference to it is supported by the properties of the MovieClip class.

  The previous example is as good as your framerate. In
  low-framerate movies, the "cursor" will be a little jitter. The setInterval()
  approach could better meet your needs, since setInterval() allows the
  function updateAfterEvent(), which updates the screen immediately, rather
  Once each image:

  setInterval)
  function (): Void {}
  mcCursor._x = _root._xmouse;
  mcCursor._y = _root._ymouse;
  updateAfterEvent();
  }, 33
  );

  The setInterval() function takes two parameters: a) a function of
  repetition and (b) the period of time in which to repeat (in this case, 33
  milliseconds).

  setInterval (functionToPerform, whenToPerform);

  In the light of the foregoing, the housing looks:

  function (): Void {}
  mcCursor._x = _root._xmouse;
  mcCursor._y = _root._ymouse;
  updateAfterEvent();
  }

  ... While the slot gets 33.

• Video clips does not properly... Help, please.

  Please can someone help me. This may seem like a simple problem, but I am at a loss for what to do. I have a Flash file that has video in it. These video clips have buttons that are supposed to go to a particular frame on the main stage and play the clip on this image. I have attached the following code to the button, but all that happens is that the clip that plays the button plays again. I marked all the frames, but this does not seem to make a difference.
  
  on {(press)
  gotoAndPlay ("_root. Contact_Hobbies");
  }
  

  I'm really new to this, but any answer is better than no response. I will try:

  _root.gotoAndPlay ("contact_hobbies");

  as a side note, you would not use onRelease delivery. Delivery means as long as you hold the button of your mouse, the following text runs. Soon a you let it stops at the function. Which may be why your movieclip starts just above.

  I use functions for things like that, so my version should look like this.

  contact_hobbies.onRelease = upward;

  function up()}
  this.gotoAndStop (10); / * This makes MC button animate. "' It ' comes to MC * /.
  _root.gotoAndPlay ("your frame name or number");
  }

  I hope this helps.
