Simple Motion Tween to play once

Can someone tell me how to go about playing a simple graphic
that has been tweened to fade in and out once. I have tried by
unmarking the loop option (play once) in the properties and it
keeps looping and flying in from the upper left corner. I have even
tried changing the sync to stop and repeat 0. I need for the
wording to fade from out to in and the just stay there (not
repeat). I am new to flash and this is due tomorrow (today). I
thought this would be easy and I for some reason, I am having a
hard time.
Thanking all in advance!

Hi,
Select the last frame in your animation, open your actions
panel (F9) and type stop();
this should do it.
Hope this helps

  • Motion tween to continue once mouse off ???

    hi all , i have a movie clip that occurs when a button is
    moused over - when you mouse off the mc stops in mid flow if it
    hasnt already finished itself. is there a piece of code perhaps
    that will allow the mc to continue and finish even if the button is
    moused off ?
    regards
    bwclan

    cheers nickels. have kinda solved it now - had the mc on the
    over state in the button rather than on the timeline .. works now !
    taaaa
    although would be interesting if there was some code that
    made a button inactive until the mc that has been triggered by
    mouseover has finished !!! i have the button now activating the mc
    on the main timeline so that when you mouse off the mc continues to
    playout but if you then mouse back over the button whilst the mc is
    still playing then it stops that mc and starts a new one !! ahhh
    well ...

  • Play motion tween until other button gets clicked

    I want to make an animation where a person dances: there are 4 buttons and when one button gets clicked, the person starts and loops a specific motion tween. I already have everything, until now only a picture is shown on click:
    function clickSpecialMove(event:Event):void {
    ! trace("SpecialMove");
    ! gotoAndStop("SpecialMove");
    BeHappy.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickBeHappy);
    function clickBeHappy(event:Event):void {
    trace("BeHappy");
    gotoAndStop("BeHappy");
    Twinkle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickTwinkle);
    function clickTwinkle(event:Event):void {
    ! trace("Twinkle");
    ! gotoAndStop("Twinkle");
    HandsUp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandsUp);
    function clickHandsUp(event:Event):void {
    ! trace("HandsUp");
    ! gotoAndStop("HandsUp");
    but I wan't a motion tween to play:
    gotoAndPlay("motionTwinkle"); does not work, then all motion tweens just walkr through like in a film :...can anybody help me? that would be so nice thank you!

    How do you implement the animations?  What makes the animation loop?  For all of the code you show you only have gotoAndStop() commands.  What do those have to do with the gotoAndPlay() you mention?  Why do you have exclamation marks leading several lines - remove those if they are actually in your code?

  • Simple tutor for motion tween in AS3

    i am searching one simple tutor for motion tween in AS3. Does any body know website ?

    Assuming you are creating your tweens using actionscript I would highly recommend using the external animation engine TweenLite, developed by greensock. You can download it and read a tutorial on it here: http://blog.greensock.com/get-started-tweening/
    If you are just creating tweens using the timeline then try this one: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-flash-professional-cs4/getting-started-13-creating-motion- tweens/ I've not watched this one in a while but I seem to remember that the tutorials in this series were quite helpful to me.
    Hope they help you out!

  • Motion plays once then stops responding

    Have all upgrades, run on quad 2.5, 8 gigs ram. Motion would continiously play (stop button would not work), then stop responding. Now, it will play once then not respond. Have not reinstalled software, but did trash pref files. Suggestions?

    Thanks Patrick... on all projects... but did re-install Motion, and not responding has not happened. But many times, it still will not stop playing. I have to wait unitl it plays to the end mark. Ideas?

  • Motion tweening a frame-by-frame animation

    Hello,
    I am an experienced animator who is new to using Flash. I need to know how to add a motion tween to an animation that I already made frame-by-frame. The animation will be of a fish blinking as it swims across the stage. I already created the frame animation of the fish blinking, but now I want to motion tween the whole animation (not just one frame) across the stage. However, I cannot figure out how to do this. Is there a way to create a simple animation that uses frame-by-frame animation and motion tweens simultaneously?

    Unfortunately, Adobe let (character) animators down by not developing any of Flash's animation tools since v8 - quite the contrary, the latest incarnation, CC, removed a lot of (quite essential) animation functionality. No more bones (yikes!) or motion curves control.
    A shame, because once Flash was the industry standard app for tv show animation. Not so anymore, though: Adobe dropped the ball in that regard, and mostly focuses on web/mobile apps and games development currently.
    There are two options:
    1) use animator-oriented alternatives like Toonboom and/or Anime Studio Pro (both of which export to flash movies);
    2) download a bunch of plugins, and extend Flash so that its workflow becomes more animator friendly.
    If you are just starting out, I would probably advise you to have at least a cursory look at the alternatives. However, having said all that, Flash can still be an enjoyable environment to animate in, IF you extend it a bit. Unfortunately some workflow may not be CC friendly anymore at this point due to the missing (almost essential) functionality compared to CS6 - you may prefer to work in CS6, depending.
    These will help you extend Flash to become a bit more animator friendly:
    http://cloudkid.com/tools
    http://flash-powertools.com/
    For example, Keyframe Caddy would solve your problem animating an eye by keyframing it in a symbol.
    The guys at flash-powertools created a character animation workflow you may like, which addresses the deficiences of Flash for professional level character animation. They have some nice templates and example character files for you to examine.
    A word of warning: character animation in Flash can become somewhat technical and daunting - in that case a tool like Anime Studio with excellent and easy to use bone tools and proper real(!) animation curves can be truly helpful. These can then be imported into Flash, and edited. Also, both AS and TB have a "real" virtual 3d camera of the scene that makes it easy to create parallax scrolling backgrounds and zoom in/out panning effects.
    Anyway, this is how you would do it in Flash:
    1) install Keyframe Caddy
    2) draw your fish in a cutout-fashion (seperate eye).
    3) convert all the fish elements to a graphic symbol (F8)
    4) double-click the fish symbol
    5) select the eye, and convert to a graphic symbol again
    6) add different drawings for the eye blinking
    7) return to the main stage
    Now you can start animating the fish:
    1) first animate the entire character moving
    2) then after you finish the overall movement, move to the frame you wish to change the eye
    3) double-click the fish character, and select the eye
    4) in KeyFrame Caddy click "load thumbnails". This should load up all the different frames (drawings/states) for that graphic symbol and display them all in the KeyFrame Caddy window
    5) now simply click on the required eye state, and KeyFrame Caddy will automatically create a keyframe for that state.
    6) move the timeline scrubber to the next frame you wish to keyframe eye movement
    7) click on the required eye state in the KeyFrame Caddy window.
    ...and so on! You may have to switch between the main scene and the fish symbol
    Make certain the lengths of both timelines are identical, otherwise the eye animation will start to repeat if it is shorter than the main timeline. Inversely, if the main timeline is shorter than the eye animation, the eye animation will obviously not be able to run completely through.
    One more thing: keep an eye out on the graphic symbol's looping in the properties - you may want to set it to either play once or looping (or even single frame).
    For more info on graphic symbols, read this:
    http://dev.tutsplus.com/articles/flashs-underrated-graphic-symbol--active-9964

  • Moving multiple symbols "breaks" motion tweens

    I'm working on a character rotation in Flash CS 5.5 that leads into a basic walk cycle using all motion tweens. The tutorial I'm following (which only uses classic tweens) says to grab all the upper body symbols with free transform and rotate them forward a little. This works fine with classic tweens, but with motion tweens, the parts pop strangely out of place and the more frames I try to move the upper body symbols on, the worse the symbols start randomly sliding around. You can see a simple before/after example posted below. Moving the profile view upper body symbols displaces the arms on the first frame.
    Is there any way to move multiple symbols without ruining them? Someone else described at length a problem like this on an old thread, but no one answered: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1084800
    I've tried taking all the upper body layers and sticking them in a symbol, but that won't work because the left hand will pass over the left leg instead of under due to layering.
    EDIT - Whatever change is made to the arms during the walk  changes the key frames at the beginning, but only if selected with other symbols. If I move the upper body parts down instead of rotating them, the first frame arms will be retroactively be moved down.

    If you are interested in getting decent results at some point youwill have to looke into the Bone-Tool or use a extension like DragonBones
    The reason why you are having "Displacement"-problems lies in the "Math" behind how AnimatorFactory (the system behind Motion Tweens) handles transformations different from Tweens (Its outright misleading to call them Tweens, and Adobe did a poor naming job).
    Right click one of the Motion tweens and chosy "copy as Actionscript 3.0" from the context menu then paste the code in any available textEditor and you will see sth like:
    import fl.motion.AnimatorFactory;
    import fl.motion.MotionBase;
    import fl.motion.Motion;
    import flash.filters.*;
    import flash.geom.Point;
    var __motion_Symbol1_9:MotionBase;
    if(__motion_Symbol1_9 == null) {
        __motion_Symbol1_9 = new Motion();
        __motion_Symbol1_9.duration = 24;
        // Call overrideTargetTransform to prevent the scale, skew,
        // or rotation values from being made relative to the target
        // object's original transform.
        // __motion_Symbol1_9.overrideTargetTransform();
        // The following calls to addPropertyArray assign data values
        // for each tweened property. There is one value in the Array
        // for every frame in the tween, or fewer if the last value
        // remains the same for the rest of the frames.
        __motion_Symbol1_9.addPropertyArray("x", [0]);
        __motion_Symbol1_9.addPropertyArray("y", [0]);
        __motion_Symbol1_9.addPropertyArray("scaleX", [1.000000]);
        __motion_Symbol1_9.addPropertyArray("scaleY", [1.000000]);
        __motion_Symbol1_9.addPropertyArray("skewX", [0]);
        __motion_Symbol1_9.addPropertyArray("skewY", [0]);
        __motion_Symbol1_9.addPropertyArray("rotationConcat", [0,3.91304,7.82609,11.7391,15.6522,19.5652,23.4783,27.3913,31.3043,35.2174,39.1304,43.043 5,46.9565,50.8696,54.7826,58.6957,62.6087,66.5217,70.4348,74.3478,78.2609,82.1739,86.087,9 0]);

        __motion_Symbol1_9.addPropertyArray("opaqueBackground", [null]);
        __motion_Symbol1_9.addPropertyArray("visible", [true]);
        // Create an AnimatorFactory instance, which will manage
        // targets for its corresponding Motion.
        var __animFactory_Symbol1_9:AnimatorFactory = new AnimatorFactory(__motion_Symbol1_9);
        __animFactory_Symbol1_9.transformationPoint = new Point(0.499943, 0.500000);
        // Call the addTarget function on the AnimatorFactory
        // instance to target a DisplayObject with this Motion.
        // The second parameter is the number of times the animation
        // will play - the default value of 0 means it will loop.
        // __animFactory_Symbol1_9.addTarget(<instance name goes here>, 0);
        // Call the addTarget function on the AnimatorFactory
        // instance to target a DisplayObject with this Motion.
        // The second parameter is the number of times the animation
        // will play - the default value of 0 means it will loop.
        // __animFactory_Symbol1_9.addTarget(<instance name goes here>, 0);
    This is only the code for simply rotating a rectangle over the duration of 24 frames.
    You notice 2 two problems right away: while having the registration point in the center, Flash distorts the values:
        __animFactory_Symbol1_9.transformationPoint = new Point(0.499943, 0.500000); //should be (0.5, 0.5)
    you can imagine that this "error" gets worse when inherited from nested symbol to nested symbol, it "exponentially" grows with each nesting, and it will soon reach a point were it gets visible.

  • How to move a keyframe from a Motion Tween in Flash CS4

    I understand that motion tween is a new form of tween in CS 4 however  I am unable to move a keyframe within the time line? am I missing something? I would hope I could select the keyframe (diamond  shape) and move it around the timeline but apprently Im missing something.. I am not able to do a cut and copy either... is this normal behavior?
    thanks
    cheers
    stephan

    Thank you so much for getting back to me so quick. Work is chaotic right now or I would have replied sooner.
    Anyway, my lines aren't actually 3D at all. Everything, including the box, are 2D. But that does give me an idea, once I'm more proficient in Flash if I decide to make this animation even better in the future.
    I attached a screenshot of my homepage. You'll see a set of lines on the left side that surround a square with Sarah Knouse LeCroy inside. (That square is what I was referring to as a 'box'...probably not a good description.) I want that square to move down to the bottom left corner when you click on Portfolio, Contact or Resume. As it moves, I want the lines to collapse and fold together so that it looks like they're all neatly getting 'packed away' so that all that's left when viewing, say Portfolio, is an empty page with the square down in the lower left corner.
    What is the best way to animate those lines in CS4? Most of the lines do not need to stay connected to the square as it's moving so I think I can just do a Classic tween for those. But the 3 diagonal ones DO need to stay connected to the box as it's moving. I was doing a motion tween and rotating/elongating each line in sections but they still didn't match up exactly in some places during the move. When I would try to go back and adjust a position I had set, it would just pop right back to the original position.
    The last problem I'm having is an issue with getting this animation to play only when you leave the homepage and click to Portfolio, Contact or Resume.
    But don't want to overwhelm so just answer what you have time for! Later, I could attach my main timeline so that you could see what I already have set up.
    Thanks so much!

  • Combine multiple animations/moving a motion tween path location

    I have three similar animations that are stalling on preload as it's referencing the data from dropbox. We thought that it might be faster if it loaded only once, so I am now trying to combine the animations into a single scene. I'm having trouble copying and pasting the animation. I'm not quite sure where the problem originates from. I did, originally, successfully reproduce the animation and apply it to the separate elements when making them on separate stages, but now I see one of the elements (I'll call it GREEN) has a motion tween, and I'm not sure why the others (ORANGE and BLUE) are set to X, Y motion. I specifically recall having created them via motion tween, but at least they are still moving the way I created them to.
    When I copy and paste > All, GREEN (with its motion tween) is placed on the stage at X=45 coordinate, and i need the whole path to be moved over to X=643. When I drag, it only affects the current location, plus there are a couple of "points" on the line that don't have keyframes associated with them, so it has been nerving to try and set them this way. Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks

    No problem!
    So do you notice how your blueballoonCopy has those chevron marks on the timeline? That's an indication of duration in a container such as a symbol or audio element. In your case, it's a total 30 sec. of transitions, and it's a symbol. When you want to loop things differently, they should be in their own timelines, i.e. in their own symbols.
    You should do two things to get this set up:
    Convert blueballoonCopy and GREEN_KIDS_BALLOONCopy3 into a single symbol, since they will both loop endlessly from the loopGrn label to the end. Put the playhead over the loopGrn label, then select it and the trigger at the end and cut them (Edit > Cut), and then double-click on the symbol on Stage to edit it and with the playhead at the same place, paste the label and trigger. You should now have the label at 26 sec., and the trigger at the end of the timeline. Navigate back to the Stage timeline, and these two elements will now loop endlessly in the brower.
    Now convert your orange_balloon element into a symbol - that will put all of its animation inside the symbol. If you want the entire animation loop twice, add a single play action to the end of the chevron (duration indicator). If you want only a part of it to loop, use a single play from action instead, and enter the timecode or label to which you want to loop back.
    And now you'll have those two elements looping continuously, and the orange_balloon symbol looping just once.

  • Motion tween created not works after exporting,but works in TEST MOVIE(ctrl+enter)

    I am using adobe flash cs4 and actionscript3
    my project consists several different layers using classic motion tween option available in flash cs4
    my project works fine when I test the movie using Ctrl+Enter
    but after exporting my animation remains stationary
    If any one knows how to solve this please do reply me. It will be very helpful to me
    Even it is a simple setting please do reply me .
    It is very urgent.
    thank u in advance

    Are you using any ActionScript at all or is it all just motion on the timeline?
    If you're not using any AS then you can try to add a little to force it to play. Just add a new layer at the very top. Click on the first frame (which shoudl be a keyframe - if it's not make it one) and press F9. This will open your Actions window. In the window type "play();" (without the quotes). Not sure if that will work or not but it's worth a try!
    If you are using AS make sure you don't have a stop(); action anywhere that's not being controlled.
    Good luck!

  • Problem with motion tweening in Flash CS4

    Hi !
    I tried to refresh my little flash knowledge -- but I stumbled upon a problem with the new Flash CS4!
    When I try to make different blur or alpha effect on one keyframe I got after making the motion tween -- Flash adjust the other keyframe as well (got the same reaction on both keyframes as if it was the same instance of movie clip -- and not as in old flash; the keyframes created separated or independent instances)
    The only thing working for me is when I move the movie clip out of the stage on the first keyframe -- and it correctly move its position.
    What's wrong?
    Kind Regards
    Maria Olsen

    Hello Maria,
    You sort of answered your own question:)
    "got the same reaction on both keyframes as if it was the same instance of movie clip"
    That is exactly right and is the proper way of looking at new motion tweens. It is one instance of the movieclip for the duration of the tween. It takes awhile to get used to this.
    New motion tweens allow you to set up a a very simple tween initially without keyframing ending values / position. Once you start making changes after the tween is set, you are going to have to get familiar with adding "property keyframes". Property keyframes are displayed with those little diamond icons in the timeline. Poperty keyframes allow you to "lock in" certain specific properties at key points in your animation without affecting other properties. With the old classic keyframes, a keyframe placed mid-tween would create a whole new instance of a symbol with all properties (rotation, scale, alpha etc) set in stone for that point in time. The benefit was that you could easily have all properties tween TO and FROM that keyframe if that's what you wanted. Now you can make adjustments to a symbol mid-tween and only specifically adjust a single property. So you can adjust the alpha of an object mid-tween without interrupting say a rotation that you wanted to happen all the way through.
    If you simply want an object to move left to right and then you decide it should fade in
    CLASSIC TWEEN
    -place symbol on frame 1
    -keyframe frame 10
    -in frame 10 move the symbol to the right
    -add classice tween
    Ok, that works, now add alpha fade in
    -go back to frame 1 and set alpha to 0
    -classice tween automatically adjusts alpha from 0 in frame 1 to 100 in frame 10.
    -done
    MOTION TWEEN
    -place symbol on stage
    -create motion tween
    -playhead jumps to last frame
    -move symbol to the right (no need to f6 / keyframe)
         Flash automatically adds something called a "position" keyframe (notice the little black diamond)
    Ok, that works, now add alpha fade in
    -go to frame 1 and set alpha to 0
    -test movie
    -oops - wrong. As you noted the alpha will stay at 0 throughout the whole tween.
    -you need to additionally go to the last frame and set the alpha back to 100
         -this will automtically create a "color" property keyframe on the last frame
    When just doing this now I noticed something odd as well
    As soon as I do the position change and move the symbol to the right, if I try to add the "color keyframe" on the last frame of the tween, I am not allowed to do so. "color" and "filter" are greyed out. I would prefer to lock the alpha at 100 in the last frame while the playhead is in position before setting it down to 0 in frame 1. Oh well.
    Seems you are forced to
    -go back to the beginning of the tween
    -adjust the alpha
    -then go to the end and manually bring the alpha back up.
    hmm maybe i'm missing something too:)
    the best way to do this would be to have the foresight ahead of time to do the alpha
    -place the symbol
    -alpha 0
    -add motion tween
    -in last frame move the symbol  set alpha to 100 (alpha and position keyframes are automatically set)
    So if you do it right the first time, its easy. If not, well.
    Keep in mind an object will maintain the properties it has set in frame 1 unless a subsequent property keyframe enforces some adjustment.
    If you have have an object that is moving from point a to b to c to d:
    If you alter the alpha at point b, the alpha will tween from point a to b, but will maintain the new alpha to c, to d.
    If you scale the clip by 200% at point, its scale will tween from point a all the way to point d, NOT just from c to d
    To scale from point c to d only, set a "scale" property keyframe at point c (this will lock the objects scale at 100) THEN scale to 200% at point d
    It takes a good deal of practice. I found the hard way that you just can't "wing" it. It isn't very intuitive coming from a classic tween approach.
    These articles really helped me:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/motion_migration_guide.html
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/learning_guide/animation/
    Take note of the tips on "cntr-clicking" frames and "shift-dragging". You have to really get used to a few keyboard modifiers when editing the timeline.
    Stick around the forums. A lot of good info comes through daily.

  • How can i let a move clip complete his motion tween movement after dragging and dropping it

    hi how can i let a move clip complete his motion tween movement after dragging and dropping it
    i am using this code and there is a motion tween applies to the movie clip r_mc
    r_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,fun); r_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,fun2); function fun(event:MouseEvent):void { stop(); r_mc.startDrag();
    function fun2(event:MouseEvent):void {
    play(); r_mc.stopDrag();

    i have a simple .fla file wich contains MC that has
    a motion tween(its moving from the left to the right of the stage)
    this motion tween covers the whole time line (  there is only 50 frames in the time line)
    i mean in the frame 1 the MC appears in the left of the stage
    and in the frame 50 the MC appears in the right of the stage and there is a motion tween between them
    every thing till now working well
    i want to make that MC dragabble
    so when i drag the MC i will use stop()
    and when i drop it i will use play()
    but the problem is that the mc doesnt move and complete
    his motion tween movement when i drop it
    for example the MC will be in the middle of the stage in frame 25
    in this frame (25) i am draging the MC ,stoping the timeline,dropping the MC and resum playing the timeline again
    but the MC freezes in the middle of the stage and doesnt go to the right of the stageo until the flash loops and start from the frame 1 again
    here is the example wich i am worikng on

  • Motion tweens in animations for handsets

    I have an animation that's headed for mobile handsets and
    Flash Lite. In it are motion tweens. I've been advised that a tween
    will slow down the playback on a handset. Is the solution to
    convert each of the tweens to individual frames?
    Thanks

    We see this issue weekly if not daily - make sure the text
    fields are set to Static (default is
    Dynamic and dynamic text needs the font outlines embedded to

  • Shape/motion tween together

    I am trying to copy a Pac man game. I am using flash mx. I
    know how to use the motion tween to make the circle go from one
    side of the screen to the next. I also know how to use the shape
    tween to make his mouth open and close but how do i make it work
    together. I want my "pacman" to move across the screen while
    opening and closing his mouth. Do i have to create a second layer
    or something. I apologize for the simple question but I am a Final
    Cut/After effects wizard and this application keeps stumping me on
    the simple things. My pacman character either sits still and opens
    his mouth and then closes it constantly or he moves across the
    screen and his mouth stays closed. I see in the options that you
    can only pick one tween at a time. This is killing me. I just dont
    get it. Please help!

    Hi,
    This is quite simple to do.
    Make a new symbol on the stage, insert - new symbol. call it
    what you want and make it a Movie Clip.
    You will now be inside the movie clip. So make your pac man
    with your shape tween mouth.
    Once you have done that you need to return to the main
    timeline - select Scene1 from above the stage.
    Now open your library and drag a copy of your pac man movie
    clip out onto the stage.
    Now you can get it moving with the motion tween.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers
    Alan
