What is the relationship between the main timeline and timelines of symbol in Adobe Flash Professional CC?

I am new to Adobe flash and tried to create an E-card for a class. My teacher said that it is better just to have a keyframe for each layer in the main timeline and do all the clips of animation and film on the deadlines of each symbol. I'm having a hard time to understand how it works. To illustrate my confusion, let's start with an example.  I have a kite I want to start flying to frame 20. The kite is a symbol, so I create movement to 20 image interpolation in chronology of the wing. 20 on the symbol Timeline frame occurs at the same time as frame 20 of the MAIN scenario, or are they completely separate instances of time?

Part of my mission, is should I use code snippets to add an element of interactivity to the Ecard. My confusion about the timeline affects my ability to do so. My teacher said that you need a stop on the first keyframe code to make sure that things will not start before you click the play button. Can I put the stop action on the main timeline or in the timeline of each symbol, or both?  Let's say I want to create a button that makes the kite flies when I click it. Where to play action 'go to and play', in the Assembly of the wing?

I would greatly appreciate any help from the community. I'm the kind of person who needs to understand how things work. I searched for days, watch videos and read articles, but I still need to find a resource that effectively dissolved my confusion on this subject. So if anyone knows of any tutorials that explain how the main timeline and symbol timelines coincide, please share them with me. Thank you very much for your time.

(P.S. are CC Animate Adobe and Adobe Flash Professional CC the same?)

Thank you both for responding. Yes, your answers were useful, but a bit Advanced. I hope that you don't mind me asking a few follow-up questions.

For Pete47-

So I put my stop() in the main timeline. How the actionscript in the main timeline code works on the chronology of the wing if the two are separate?  Why not put the ActionScript on chronology of the wing? Clearly, there must be an interaction between the main timeline and symbols, right?  When you say "you can drag the symbol on the main timeline and it will run when you start", what do you mean by that? Like GETTING started, in the main timeline or in the scenario of the symbol? As you can see I am very confused by there!

For Colin.

I thought that Pete said you want to only have a keyframe in the main timeline. Then, when you said... "you can do it with an interpolation of the main timeline... from the beginning to the final position," why would you animate the motion on the main timeline? Why not in the chronology of the wing, can create another symbol of the tail in this period?

And if the schedules of chronology and main symbol are separated, how SYNCHRONIZE you together different symbols to their movement to work together? And why should it be like that anyway?

I am new to the community here, the last thing I want to say because you two sounds very knowledgeable on the Flash. How did you get your start? Did you start by watching the tutorials, read the manual, or something else?

Once more, you have my abundant thanks for taking the time to help.

  • Problem with Play Pause AS3 button on the main timeline

    I was wondering if someone can help with this? Have tried to create a play/pause for the main timeline button in my flash movie.

    Created a clip with 1 frame - a chart of the break, and then on the 2nd frame - game graphics, labeled 'pause' and executives 'play' consecutively and put a stop action on the first frame of the movieclip.

    Then put the following code in the layer actions on the main timeline (and gave the name of "ppBtn" instance of movieclip):

    var pp:Boolean = true;


    function ppState(event:MouseEvent) {}

    {if (pp)}

    Stop();

    event.target.gotoAndStop ('pause');

    pp = false;

    } else {}

    Play();

    event.target.gotoAndStop ('play');

    pp = true;

    }

    }

    ppBtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, ppState);

    He works at the stopping and starting of the film but the real movieclip is not switch between the break and the game graphics (a few stays on the framework - 1st of 'pause' State). Any help in this very appreciated!

    Thank you

  • Exchange of data between the main VI and sub - VI

    It is my first attempt to build a comprehensive program and hope you can help me.

    The idea is to load a set of data and to perform several calculations and operations on them, find themselves in the creation of a report file.

    What I want to do is to build a main VI which contains the data, and several sub - vi to do the math, dynamically loaded in a subgroup of experts (for the simple user interface). I thought about this architecture because I'm sure I'll have to change the calculation of VI, and I don't know how I'm going to need, so I can just add an another calc VI to the plugin dir and load it. The thing is, I have to keep moving data back from the main VI to the Subvi and maybe even between sub - vi. Is there an easy (or not so hard) how? I thought about queues, but sometimes the data is to be sent to more than a subvi, and I can't have a queue for each. The idea that I get is like a network producer-consumer mode BOX: the main VI produce some data and all those interested in this data use. Then they send the results back (as a "producer") and all stakeholders in the response it consumes.

    Attached, is a "skeleton" of what I intend to do.

    There are several ways you can accomplish this. First of all, you can use the Start Asychronous Call, which will provide a component of connector for you. So, it is easy to wire the reference to it. You could also implement a global functional (also known as a motor of action) to access the event reference. It is the approach we use for our shared events. If you have lines between the main VI and ths Subvi you to format a particular message reference. However, I don't think that this approach would correspond to what you are doing.

  • messages between the main thread and the FX application thread

    I run a thread of the Application of FX for a main thread using Application.launch [described here: {: identifier of the thread = 2530636}]

    I try to have the application thread return information on the main thread, but Application.launch returns void. Is there an easy way to communicate between the main thread and the thread of the Application?

    So far, I googled and found:
    -MOM (Message Oriented Middleware)
    -Sockets

    Thoughts/ideas/examples are appreciated--especially examples ;)--now I try to use Sockets to show/hide the application and data transmission.

    What is the preferred method? Are there others that I did not find (gasp) via Google?

    Is there an easy way to get a reference to these objects to both the main thread and the thread of Application FX - called via Application.launch () since the main thread? Or what I need to use Sockets or MOM?

    Not much to do with the concurrent programming is what I would call easy. It looks easy - but it's not.
    You can do kind of what you're describing using Java concurrency constructs without using sockets or a package of Message Oriented Middleware (MOM).
    With the Java concurrency stuff you really implement your own form or MOM light.
    If you have quite an application is complex with many messages of comes and goes, then a sort of package for MOM such as the camel and ActiveMQ (http://camel.apache.org) is useful.
    ---------
    You can find a sample of the various interactions of thread with JavaFX here:
    https://gist.github.com/jewelsea/5500981 "Simulation of dwarf dragons using multiple threads to eat."
    Related code is just demo-ware to try different competitive access facilities and not necessarily a recommended strategy.
    If your curiosity, you can take a look and try to work out what it is, what it does and how it does.
    The main reason followed is that of a blocking queue:
    http://docs.Oracle.com/javase/6/docs/API/Java/util/concurrent/BlockingQueue.html
    ---------
    Note that once you call launch of the main thread, no subsequent statement in the main method will be different until the JavaFX application terminates. If you can't start from the main thread and communicate with the main thread JavaFX application. Instead, you need to spawn another thread (or a set of threads) for communication with the JavaFX application.
    ---------
    But really, in most cases, the best solution with the simultaneity is not care at all (or at least as little as possible). Write everything in JavaFX, use the animation of JavaFX framework to time related things and the simultaneity of JavaFX utilities for when you really need multiple interaction of wire.
    http://docs.Oracle.com/JavaFX/2/threads/jfxpub-threads.htm

    For additional assistance, you may be better off describing exactly (i.e. really specific) what you're trying to make in a new question, perhaps with a solution of the sample in a http://sscce.org NBS

  • Coding of text within a symbol to invite "play to" on the main timeline

    Using a symbol to prepare my full menu (so it can maintain its own settings/independence, problem solved by your support :)).

    Is it possible for me to code, the text in the prompt symbol buttons to "play to" on the main timeline?

    Thanks for your time!

    Teo

    Hi Kratistoss,

    Thanks for posting. Here's what you need to do:

    (1) go to your Menu called symbol.

    (2) for any text that you want to have a link with a label on the main stage, add an action click by pressing the brackets to the left of the element.

    (3) this should pull up with a bunch of actions, a dialog box, press the click one.

    (4) in the white space, add the following code: () .getStage () sym.getComposition ("whatever_your_label_name_is") .play;

    (5) repeat for each item you want to link to the main timeline.

    It's her!

  • Goto frame within a movieclip on the main timeline button

    So what I have is a button (then named) on the main timeline. I have a clip on this framework (on the main timeline) and the clip has 3 images I want to be able to scroll using the "Next" button located on the main timeline. How can I do this?

    Thank you

    assign the movieclip an instance name (in the properties panel - for example, mc) and use:

    Next.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, f);

    function f(e:MouseEvent):void {}

    mc.nextFrame ();

    }

  • in actionscript 3.0 how do a nested movie clip button go to a section on the main timeline

    I do a site based in flash actionscript 3.0, I have a button nested in its own clip, because I have the button bigger to be able to read what I realized the only way to do it is by creating it as a film clipa nd inside the clip in a button

    I've added an event listener for the button of blog, saying:

    blog.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, gotoblog);

    function gotoblog(evtobj:MouseEvent) {}

    gotoAndStop (2)

    }

    This part of the code it goes to 2nd part of the scenario that it is and stop wich is a version of the origanal symbol breath

    I added a second order on structure 2

    blog.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK.gotoblogpage);

    function gotoblogpage(evtobj:MouseEvent) {}

    gotoAndStop ("blogframe")

    trace ("the blog button has been clicked")

    }

    I have named the blog of symbol and use the name from where will the blog page to be "blogframe" this line of code at the bottom is where I run trouble the window output in Flash says "blog button has been clicked" I like it. no errors are accouring why that which is at the playhead does not attend the image "blogframe"? If the button does not work when I click on it the code is correct, I think the problem here is he does not want the read head go to the section I want it. So I gues, my question is, how can we make a button less, a clip interact with the main timeline?

    One way to do this is to target the root timeline...

    MovieClip (root) .gotoAndStop ("blogframe");

  • return to the main timeline of the movie clip

    well on my main script, I have an intro, and then a main menu. in this menu, it goes to a clip, I want to create a "back to main menu" button inside the movieclip that will return a certain group in the main timeline.

    can someone help me in this encoding to use?

    see you soon

    What about the fact that you have a problem with?  Do you know how to code a button? If Yes, you can program the button in the main timeline so that all you have to do a gotoAndStop() command is used...  In the main scenario where there is the mc...

    yourMC.theMCButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoMenu);

    function gotoMenu(evt:MouseEvent):void {}

    gotoAndStop (menuframe);

    }

  • Trajectory using 3D - OK to the main timeline broken into symbol

    I spent many hours of frustration trying to figure why this is happening. It is totally broken. I need to use a path using 3d in a symbol. Because of the way in which the project is being implemented (flexible), there are several FLAs that must be converted to symbols.

    So when I convert the FLA that contains a path with 3D, the object moves away from the path in the symbol (the 1st framework remains in place, but everything else is off the beaten), even if it remains correct in the main timeline.

    And once I have start to edit the object in the symbol, the object refers to the way ok, as if it had been a weird display problem, but 3D is all wrong - the vanishing from the object point has changed. The same thing if I create the 3D path using the parameters of the tool "global" or "local".


    What is happening is, of course, the registration point in the symbol, but I was confused by what I saw.

    The reg in the main scenario is at the top left, and he is a symbol. So when executives are pasted into the symbol the reg point moves toward the Center from the position of objects on the stage. So if the scene is 400 x 600, then the reg point moves 200 + and + 300.

    What is happening is that the 3D vanishing point remains numerically identical, so he also moved the reg point. The confusion occurs because objects on the 3D trajectory also move and appear in the wrong place, but the road and the first object remain in the same place. But once any object on the path is published (eg. click an object and it up and down again with an arrow key) they all break the path again. Right now, compared to other objects, but incorrect to the point of leakage.

    If the vanishing point must be reset for the symbol-200 and -300 of its current values. Easy, isn't it?

    Well, no. Because that redefines the vanishing point in the world, and all 3D in the main storyline is the new point of flight, which is different from the scene. And if this symbol is reproduced in the main storyline, the vanishing point will be according to the main scenario and it wll look all wrong again.

    So what you really have to, is to move the point of reg of the symbol to to - 200 and -300. Easy if it is a simple symbol with a couple of short times, but if it is complex, it is not easy.

    You need select several images and drag the end of the selection range to the end of the timeline, and then select all and move + 200 and 300 + to have the reg point at the top left of the area of 'scene '. This can be a real drag when you have a long timeline and you miss a little in the selection range or realize that you have some layers locked, hidden in folders or below the fold.

    WHAT WOULD BE REALLY USEFUL would be to have the ability to simply change the point of a symbol reg digitally. A new extension, perhaps?
