Help with animation

hello guys,
i need help on creating a animation. a have a curved image
and i want to display it growing. i tried with mask but it didn't
worked...how can i do it

Search for handwriting tutorials in Flash, this is
essentially what you're
doing. Basically, you erase a mask backwards, frame by frame
- so that when
played forward it covers the area you want to reveal. It's a
simple process,
just a little tedious.

I need help with animation with progress bar.

Hi,
I need some help with creating something similar to this site (window opening animation with scrub bar):
http://www.drutex.pl/pl/oferta/okna/okna-pvc/okna-pvc-iglo-5.html
I'm kinda new to flash and all so some tutorials for such thing would be helpful.
Thanks in advance
Oscar

What this will involve is a movieclip/timeline containing images showing the sequence of the motion (like the frames of a movie film) and a Slider component that changes the frame of that movieclip/timeline based on its position.
Here is a link to an Actionscript 3 sample file that demonstrates a Slider providing the control of the timeline...
http://www.nedwebs.com/Flash/AS3_Slider.fla
You could edit the looks of the Slider component if you like by doubleclicking it and the inner parts you want to modify, or you could create one of your own if you have enough know-how to code it to work.

[need help with animated gif - shows up fuzzy on IE]

Hi,
I created an animated gif in photoshop cs3 with combination of text and images in Mac. For some reason, the text on the banner looks fuzzy on Internet Explorer. Do any of you know what is wrong with the banner? Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks

How does it look in Firefox on Windows? By only testing one browser on Windows, you cannot determine if it is a matter of the browser or the overall settings for the computer.
Do you have a page to share so that we can see the fuzziness or can you post the GIF file here?

Help With Animating Over an AVI File!

I have imported a 30 second avi clip into Flash and I am
trying to create an animation over it. I've gathered that I need to
create a new layer for the animation and I have drawn the object to
animate but now when I press play, the timeline moves but the movie
does not play so I don't know where to animate to. If anyone can
offer any help it would be very much appreciated.

First, you need to learn the basics of using After Effects. Start here to learn After Effects.
Then you'll be able to ask specific questions as you run into specific problems with what you're trying to accomplish.
There are instructions here and in the pages that it points to related to importing and using elements from PSD files.

Problems/help with animated GIF exports

I am an experienced Photoshop user. I recently upgraded to CS5 (Windows) and have been attempting to produce animated gif files.
After reading a few tutorials on the topic, I have been able to:
Create a PSD with a few jpg images as layers;
Move the layers to the animation window;
Set the cycle times and optimize the animation window; and,
Use the Save for Web Devices dialog to create the GIF file.
Everything appears to be normal throughout this process. However, the exported GIF file appears as a dark gray frame when I open it in IE, or upload it to my image hosting site.
Anybody else experiencing this type of problem?
Thanks

No, my Photoshop CS5 saves animated GIFs just fine, and I did just what you said. For example (you have to click on an image here to see it animate):
Can you post your image here? Maybe it could be a problem with your browser not animating the image properly? What version of IE do you use?

Help with animated gif messages

I can't seem to get animated GIFS with music as a SMS or a MMS to play. They are sent from people with phones like the Razor, LG, Envy etc. on the same network as mine ( Verizon ). When I get the message it will show the GIF for about 1 second then it dissapears, then the music plays. It will also give me the option to open the attachments or slides but the GIFS don't open . I can get Video messages from anyone and the videos plays fine. In the past when I opened one of these messages it would kill the audio on my phone and I would have to do a hard reboot for my phone to work even though I could still receive SMS and MMS messages, just the audio on the phone died. I was told the new OS 4.5 would correct this. The only thing it fixed was now if I get a animated GIF message it still does not play but my phone does work and I don't have to reboot. Is there a setting I need to change or is this not supported? I have 2 Curves 8330 OS 4.5.0.77 BIS on Verizon with the unlimted BB plan.
Thanks,
Leo

Help with animated gif please!

Can you embed an animated gif into emails as a signature? i
have tried it in entourage and outlook, but the gif seems to stick
on the first frame. The animation works fine if viewed in a browser
etc. I have also made the email html format.
any ideas?

Open your browser and browse to and select the animated GIF
image. Do you
see the animation? If not, then you have not properly
exported your GIF as
an animated one. What graphics program are you using?

Hello friends,
I need help in creating animation for my snake and ladder game(C#,XAML). I have completed the game logic, but can't understand how to animate my UI.

2. I want the player disc to move one step at a time (animation) on the game board.
Please help me I am new to animation. Kindly give a reply

[cs3][as2] Help with Animation Displacement

I've been trying to piece together a way to have an image
with a flag wave fade in as soon as the movie loads. Once the image
is faded in almost all the way, I want the waving to slow to a stop
so at the end, it's a static image. I've gotten most of this
accomplished, however, once the flag wave slows and stops, the
entire image shifts up and to the right. I'm sure it has something
to do with some displacement variable, but since I'm no coder I
can't seem to figure out how to stop this. Anyone have any ideas?

Help with Animation Resize on Tablet devices

Hi,
I would appreciate any help to fix this problem. I have this edge animation that doesn't resize correctly on tablet devices.
http://www.lab2x.com/guest/Jaime/lab2x-1/
It happens especially on vertical view of tablets.
When I publish from edge directly it works perfect on tablets, but when I insert it to the html page I get the problem.
Here is the animation alone and how I want it to work on tablets.

Thanks,
Rodrigo

Rodrigo-
I checked on a first gen. iPad and you are right, it does not resize. Funny thing is, it does re-size when you close your browser to between 750px - 775px :-)
My first thought is your script to check for tablet usage:

          <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1" />
          <script type="text/javascript">
                    var browser                              = navigator.userAgent;
                    var browserRegex          = /(Android|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Nokia|iP(ad|hone|od)|Opera M(obi|ini))/;
                    var isMobile                    = false;
                    if(browser.match(browserRegex)) {
                              isMobile                              = true;
                              addEventListener("load", function() { setTimeout(hideURLbar, 0); }, false);
                              function hideURLbar(){
                                        window.scrollTo(0,1);
          </script>
I'm rather new to Edge and havent gotten to making a "Tablet" sized animation yet, so I don't know if Edge created the script or you added it it.
Since it re-sizes in a regular browser, coun ld you try switching the size based on the browser size by adding these div's to your CSS, just to see if it affects it?
Tablet:
@media only screen and (min-width: 481px) {
.tablet_div {
add around your Edge animation.
Desktop:
@media only screen and (min-width: 769px) {
.desktop_div {
add around your Edge animation.

I need help with animating a walk cycle

I have a person created and have a script that helps everything move right I am just having trouble getting the walk cycle to look and act properly. I want to use the loopOut expression to use this composition in another movie. Any help offerend would be greatly appreciated.

Mylenium is correct, I've animated quite a few walk cycles in various different techniques and all I can say is that each technique is so radically different it really just depends on how and what you're trying to achieve. Not only that, the quality of the movement in the animation itself so much depends on the feeling and story you're trying to get across. What looks wrong to someone, might look right to someone else. You might want a totally weird walk cycle for your character becuase that might tell the audience something completely different about who and what they are. Without seeing anything there's no possible way to advise. In the meantime, I highly recommend looking at a hand-drawn film from 1978 called "Satiemania" by Zdenko Gasparovic. The beginning is all walk cycles of different types and I think it could be inspiring for any character animator who's interested in animating walk cycles.

I need help with animation, PLEASE help!

I am trying to create pacman animation by using a series of filled arcs that I create by coding in java. I know how to create the arcs, but I don't know how to use them to create animation. In other words I don't know how to put them in sequence to create animation.
I have searched the web, and all I find is animation that use a series of GIF or JPEG images.
can you please help me or point me to the right direction.
by the way, which of these two animation would run faster? The one that uses GIF images, or the one that would use shapes created in java?
Thanx

Perhaps you could do this two ways
One way, (im not sure if this will work), is to create a .gif file that is already animated. An open mouth animated to a closed mouth. But i don't know if Java will accept this.
The second way would be to create a Thread. And to create however many images you want to display the open to closed mouth. Then continuously change the image so it appears the mouth is opening and closing.
Put in a delay so it doens't go too fast, and there ya have it.
Public void run()
int i =0;
while(true)
myThread.sleep(10);
image = difImage;
}something like that. Might used a bufferedImage and make just use subImage to pull off each picture you need to change.

Help with animated gif

I am making an animated gif that is 35 sec long. When I try to Save for the Web it looks like everything is fine but it only saves 22 secs of the gif. I believe there are 1034 frames but it only save 500. Any ideas on why this would be happening would be greatly appreciated.
