AS3 tween not working in Cp5

I have a mc named image_mc on the first frame of the file.
on the first frame i also have:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.*;
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(10, 1); // 1 second
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, zoomBack);
myTimer.start();
function zoomBack(e:Event) {
    var xscale:Tween = new Tween(image_mc, "scaleX", Bounce.easeOut, 1, .765, .5, true);
    var yscale:Tween = new Tween(image_mc, "scaleY", Bounce.easeOut, 1, .765, .5, true);
    //trace("back to 1st size");
and it still doesn't work right. when i test it within Cp5 (Live Preview) and it works right so apparently it is still running when the entire projects starts instead of waiting until the particular slide that it is placed shows up. I don't know what is happening.

Please take a look at this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3606274#3606274

AS3 swf not working in Cp5

Hi,
I have created a swf that has a motion tween created in AS3.
Basically it is a timer that starts a function that adds a 'springy' effect to a movieClip. It works in flash, and it works everywhere i use it but Cp5. I call the file in at 0 seconds, and another time at 4 seconds. Those swf's pop up at the correct time, but they don't animate.
Any suggestions?

That's probably because they've already run their animation by the time they get to the slide where you want them to play.
This behaviour is well known if your animations are buried in a symbol that sits on the main timeline of your Flash movie.
If you have the animation playing on the main timeline (instead of being encapsulated inside a symbol) your animation should play properly in Cp5.

Motion tween- arrows not appearing, tween not working! please help?

I select where I want my motion tween to be, ctrl-click and select 'create motion tween'. It appears blue, and does not come up with an error message but no arrows appear like in the video's and the motion tween has not worked. Any ideas why? Also, I opened up a file that already had a motion tween in it (made by somebody else) to test it. I selected the motion tween and clicked 'remove tween' and straight away clicked 'create motion tween' again- to put exactly the same motion back into it, but the same thing happens- the selected area appears blue but no motion tween. Then, if I select it again, the option is 'remove motion' not 'remove tween' as before. A little complicated and could really use some help! Thanks!

Thanks very much for the help. Classic tween has worked, the arrows have appeared and the figure moves but the shapes do not move around their anchor points and go all over the place before suddenly appearin in the right position on the very last frame.This is a screenshot of what i see on the second to last frame:
And this is the last frame:
I made sure all the anchor points were in the right place beforehand, any ideas why the shapes wont move right?
Thanks.

Motion tween not working - CS5

I created a symbol, placed it on the timeline, made a copy and moved it to another place on the timeline, clicked in the middle and selected motion tween. It shows a motion tween on my timeline, but when I move the playhead, there is no animation, just a start state and an end state. Help, please!

should only be the symbol on that layer, there should be no other object, be careful, a single point can do not work
If you copy the symbol in the time line then use "Create Classic Tween"
to use "Create Motion Tween" just right click on the frame in the timeline (without copying anything in the timeline) and select "Create Motion Tween", position the playhead at the frame you want and move the position of symbol

Motion Tween not working

What would cause a motion tween not to work. I am using
graphics for both keyframes and it is showing an arrow on my
timeline, but its not gradually making it bigger. Just small,
small, small, and then big all of the sudden. I tried doing the
same tween earlier on the timeline and it worked fine, so it is
something with this frame. I have all other layers hidden and I
don't see anything else on this layer. But if I did have something
I think Flash would give an error message and a dotted line on the
timeline, so I don't think that's it. Any other ideas?

AS3 stop(); not working w/ Multi URLRequest

When I place one link in AS3 with a stop everything works great!
     stop();
     import flash.events.MouseEvent;
     //---link1
     var getLink1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.com");
     link1btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
     function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
         navigateToURL(getLink1, "_self");
but when I add more links my stop(); fails to work - like the example below.
          stop();
          import flash.events.MouseEvent;
          //---link1
          var getLink1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.com");
          link1btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
          function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
              navigateToURL(getLink1, "_self");
          //---link2
          var getLink2:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.yahoo.com");
          link2btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
          function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
         navigateToURL(getLink2, "_self");
link1btn and link2btn are instance names.
Any ideas?

stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var getLink1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.com");
var getLink2:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.yahoo.com");
   link1btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
link2btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
if (event.target.name=="link1btn")
         navigateToURL(getLink1, "_self");
else (event.target.name=="link2btn")
         navigateToURL(getLink2, "_self");
IF NOT WORKS, change event.target.name to event.currentTarget.name

Alpha Tween not working on ScrollPane gallery?

Hello i have a problem with my as3 working on normal movieclips, but not on the gallery, the site works by loading an external swf file with the UILoader, the swf that is loaded is a ScrollPane that loads a Movieclip.
The script i use:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var myTweenAlphaRoskilde:Tween = new Tween(roskildemc, "alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 1, 40, false);
1. frame is the preloader
2. frame is the Scrollpane and Movieclip that loads, the action is added here.
The file if it makes it easier:
[Link removed by moderator at OP's request]
Thank you very much! =)

As i wrote, the timeout stuff was added because the preloader wasnt loading the scrollpane the second time one visited the gallery, it just stuck because it was already loaded, see the other forum questioin i posted a link to. If you think it should be removed, exactly what parts should be removed? Could you post the script without the lines that are not needed, im not really a as3 pro.
There is a main index file with different uiloaders on various keyframes which loads the external swf files
[link removed at poster's request]
The external swf's have a preloader in frame 1 and in frame 2 it has the ScrollPane component that loads a movieclip.
[link removed at poster's request]
There is no uiloader code, im using the built in one, it loads the externals fine but i cant add the alpha tweening so they fade in.
There are 3 external swf's with the preload script i posted, the main index file has the folowing preload script:
stop();
var loadCompleteBool:Boolean;
trace("preloader frame");
if(loadCompleteBool){
trace("loadcomplete")
loaderInfo.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);
nextFrame();
//Preloader
loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);
function updatePreloader(evtObj:ProgressEvent):void
    //container for the progress of the site (download)
    var percent:Number = Math.floor((evtObj.bytesLoaded*100)/evtObj.bytesTotal);
     preloader_txt.text = percent+"%";
    if (percent==100){
trace("preloader")
loadCompleteBool=true;
         nextFrame();

Basic Motion Tween not working?

I created a graphic symbol in Illustrator and copied-and-pasted it into Flash. I placed a keyframe further in the Timeline and scaled the symbol down on that frame. I went back to the first frame and right clicked on it and chose to create motion tween, though nothing visually happened between the first frame and last one like it did in previous versions, and the the symbol did not not animate. What did I do wrong?
Thanks.

Adobe has made it a wild goose chase. For me, it only works if I don't have a second keyframe. Baffling, why should it behave so differently than classic tweening?!
People like me have been hitting their heads against the wall for years trying to get this to work. Absolutely asinine.
For the record and to repeat my huge gripe, it behaves nothing like classic tweening, where you define an end point and then "tween" between them. You can end up doing that, but you can't create the tween between two existing keyframes (even if they have the exact same single object in them).
So this is what's working for me now:
1 - Create a timeline layer with one single object in an initial keyframe (black dot indicates a keyframe). No more than one object can be tweened in one layer, but Adobe will not give you any userful feedback about this while you're working.
2 - On that layer, farther out in the timeline where there are no frames (what is the name for these "non-frames"?), right click where you want the tween to end, and select "Insert frame". (You'll have a black dot keyframe, a row of grey empty frames, and white box as a blank keyframe.
3 - Right click anywhere on the active part of that timeline and choose "Create Motion Tween", even though there is nothing to tween yet. After you do this, the span of frames should turn blue and the blank keyframe white box should disappear. Congratulations, you've created your first motion tween, but Adobe doesn't want you to know that. You need to actually go to individual frames and move the object around to get tweening to happen, as I outline in steps 4 and 5. Assuming your object is where you want it in the starting position, I would recommend going to the last frame to determine the final position next. Then you can do any number of middle positions (each frame can have a new position).
4 - (optional step, helps with positioning on the timeline) Scrub the timeline and find a frame where you want the trajectory of your object to change (at the very minimum, you'll want to move the object for one frame, otherwise there will be no motion)
5 - Move the object on the stage.
6 - Repeat 4 and 5 for as many frames as you want.
If you're not seeing motion paths that chart the motion, play with the little buttons on the bottom of the timeline, such as Onion Skinning. Lastly, just move the playhead left and right. If you're not seeing your object move, then blame Adobe some more, because this is far from immediately intuitive.

Scrolling Marquee created in Flash 5.5 Pro not working in CP5.5

Hi all.
I've created a scrolling marquee .swf within Flash 5.5 Pro which has the dimensions of 30x205.
This works perfectly both testing the scene in Flash as well as when you view the .swf on it's own.
However, when I import the .swf into Captivate 5.5 and run the project, the scrolling text starts perfectly but then doesn't stop, i.e. it is not bounded by the original size of the Flash project so I end up with the message sscrolling right across the screen till all the text is visible, when it disappears.
I'm not sure if this is a Flash problem where I have missed something or done something wrong, or a Captivate problem.
I'm really VERY new to Flash so I'm guessing it is something I haven't done.
I understand that you can force Flash projects to be bounded to an area of the screen by using AS3, but I have no coding experience and am stuck.
Can anyone help?
I'm happy to share the relevant files if anyone wants to see what I've done.
Thanks all.
P.S. I've also posted this in the Flash forum in case it is that.

Col, it's just one of the quirks in the way that Flash works. Even though youv'e set your Flash document size to be only 30 pixels by 205 pixels, if you have the text starting off stage and scrolling onto the stage, then the REAL stage area (including the scrap area around the stage) MUST be larger than 30x205 right?
So what happens is that unless you mask the stage area to hide the bits you don't want to see, if you place that SWF into another SWF that has a larger stage area, then the scrolling text will be visible even before it gets to what you thought to be the visible stage area.
So you need to get your head around the concept of Masking in Flash to pull off what you want to do here. With masking, you're actually looking through a window the same size as the mask to see the scrolling text. Then even when you bring it into a larger SWF like the Captivate movie, all you're going to see is the area covered by the mask.
I tried to get to your FLA file but couldn't find it in Acrobat.com for some reason. Message said the file could not be found.

Position Tweening Not Working

Photoshop CS3. When I tween between frames in an animation with Position selected, the program dupes the first selected frame the number of times specified but does not tween the object's position. So if I specify five frames, I get five dupes of the first frame with no movement of the object towards its position in the target frame.
The program does tween the Opaque option when that is selected.
Oddly, the same problem occurs in both my Photoshop CS3 and my ImageReady CS.
Could there be something in my computer that's preventing the Position tweening feature from working?
Mac G4 866, 1GB RAM, OS 10.4.11.

I did some position tweening in 2007 on Windows PS CS3 and had no problem. Now for the first time I'm trying it in Windows PS CS4 and I'm having exactly the problem you are!!!! I restarted PS and problem continued. I have no idea what else to try besides go find CS3 running somewhere. I'm using current rev, 11.0.2.

Tween not working... what is it??

Hi I have done tweens before and in the same swf! but now i
have one that
doenst work.
It loads it reaches the point going inside the tween
functions but it doesnt
do anything... O_o
If u can help me i will apreciate it, thanks!
I have this short of structure inside mi program:
function a(){
slideshow();
function slideShow() {
_movimiento = Regular.easeInOut;
_empieza = 0;
_acaba = 100;
_duracion =
Number(_root.Diapositiva[_root.diapositivaElegidaPos].espera);
var __moverP:Object = new Tween(_root.loading_mc,
"_rotation", _movimiento,
0, 1080, 10, true);
__moverP.onTweenUpdate = function() {
if (_root.pausado == 1) {
_root.__moverPresentacion.stop();
__moverP.onMotionFinished = function() {
_root.diapositivaElegida = diapositiva_info(+1,
_root.idDiapositiva);

Well all of that is missing cause i didnt want to write all
the code (which
is a lot)...
So I have done the import lines..
And the slideShow is a misspelling when i copied it to here.
Thanks for pointing that out , but it is not that ....:)

Tween not working

edit - i realized that i did not show a crucial part of my
code.....
import mx.transitions.Tween;
what am i doing wrong? the movie clip "dynaText" is attached,
it gets the string inserted into it, but it doesn't fade in like i
want it to using the Tween class.
also, although the script doesn't get this far, the next part
below looks like it's not going to work either. i would expect
onMotionFinished to change color in my actionscript editor, since
it's an identifier... but it doesn't. i have to get the first part
working to see if the yoyo function is going to work, but it
doesn't look like it will.
can someone square this away for me?

ok, i found my problem, but still don't know how to fix it.
my code is working fine, it is fading out the attached movie clip,
the problem is that it's not fading out the dynamic text field
inside that movie clip? how's that work?
if i were to go into the dynaText movie clip and add a new
layer to the bottom of it (underneath the dynamic text field) with
a red square in it, and then run this code... it would fade out the
red square, but not the dynamic text field. the text "All fields
are required, please complete this entire form!" still stays at
100% alpha. why? how do i control the alpha of the dynamic text
field?

Adobe Flash CS5 - Blur effect & tween not working

When I try to create a tween for the blur, so it will blur into focus, the tween just wont work. I go to frame 130, keyframe, add blur filter, create clasic tween. But when i go to frame 131 it instantly pops into focus instead of going along the tween time span to blur in gradually(I have the next keyframe at 160). Anyone have any ideas?! This boggles my mind!
Any help or suggestions would be deeply appreciated
Thanks in advance...

What type of textfield are you using? What type of symbol have you created it as? If you can show a screenshot of the stage and timeline for what you have it might help to identify the problem.

Adobe AIR for Android as3 codes not working for this one project

I'm trying to use Accelerometer in my flash game, which works for every other project I'm working on, but for some reason on this one project if I try using it I get errors, using the same code i've used before, such as this.
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Accelerometer.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Accelerometer.
This is a fairly old file, not that old, so are there files I need to add to it to get it to work, or settings I need to change? This is very frustrating, I don't know what the problem possibly could be. Can anybody help me?

The error message is indicating it cannot find the class. Make sure you are importing it:
import flash.sensors.Accelerometer;
