Tween and motion help!

Hi,
So my problem is this..
I really want to create an animation where writing just appears as it is being written/drawn and leads on to draw the sketch of someones face and carries on. (hope you understand that)
I know this must be done with tweens/motion but i cannot for the life of me figure out how!!!!.
If anyone can help i would really appreciate it.

player is a symbol that is classic tweened. It has to frames. The first is a still frame with a stop action. The second has been converted as a symbol to show the player move across the screen and back. When the attack button is clicked the player moves across the screen and back but it keeps on looping. If I add a stop action to the last frame it will move and comeback and stop but it will not move anymore when the button is clicked again.

How can i use shape tweening and motion tweenin together on a movie clip?(where is looping whitch was in propertise panel in CS5?)

how can show animation (shape and motion tween) witch i was created in Scens1-MovieClip in time line?
there was an option (looping) in CS5 but how can i do it in CC and CS6?

shape tweening can only be applied to raw drawn shapes, no movieclips. IF you wanted to do a shape tween to a movieclip it would have to be done within the timeline in the movieclip.

Tween or Motion path for blank keynote with animated stars?

I create star particle effect from this tutorial: http://www.schoolofflash.com/2008/03/flash-cs3-particle-effect/ and got help from this discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5518425 in order to get what I wanted. My code is:
var starsArray:Array = new Array();
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(50);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars);
myTimer.start();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveStars);
function addStars(e:TimerEvent):void
          var star:Stars = new Stars();
          star.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;
          star.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
          star.alpha = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
          star.scaleX = star.scaleY = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
          star.xMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
          star.yMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
          starsArray.push(star);
          addChild(star);
          star.cacheAsBitmap = true;
function moveStars(e:Event):void
          for each (var star:MovieClip in starsArray)
                    star.x += star.xMovement;
                    star.y += star.yMovement;
                    star.alpha -= .01;
                    star.scaleX = star.scaleY -= .01;
                    if (star.scaleX <= 0)
                              kill(star);
function kill(star:MovieClip):void
          starsArray.splice(starsArray.indexOf(star), 1);
          removeChild(star);
However, I wanted to move the star particles around. The problem is that the star isn't on the screen, but is called in the actions in the blank keynote. I don't know what I should do next to get the result. I looked up online for tweens and motion paths but all i see is that they required the star to be right on the screen, I think? I also heard something about the compiled clip but I don't know how I should go about creating one and using it to move around the stars while it's animated with all the actionscript. All I wanted is for the star particles to float around the screen (on a path that I can draw out if possible).....

Each star is created in the addStars function. Its position is set in the first two lines:
     star.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;
     star.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
So, to move each star to a new location when it appears on the stage, you'll need to change the x and y property values for each star. One simple way to do that is to use that same Math.random() function.
Try changing those first two line to:
          star.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth;
          star.y = Math.random() * stage.stageHeight;

I am trying to experiment with Tweens and Easing Types in ActionScript 3.0, Adobe Flash CS4. help

I am using ActionScript 3.0, Adobe Flash CS4 software
I have created Tweens for some MovieClip properties and experimented with some of the easing types.
This is what I have managed to create and works okay!
grow_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, grow);
shrink_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, shrink);
rotate_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rotate);
hide_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hideClip);
show_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showClip);
fadeOut_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fadeOut);
fadeIn_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fadeIn);
function grow(e:MouseEvent):void {
var scale1:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "scaleX", Back.easeIn, 0, 1, 3, true);
var scale2:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "scaleY", Back.easeIn, 0, 1, 3, true);
function shrink(e:MouseEvent):void {
var oneSmall:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "scaleX", Back.easeInOut, 0, -.2, 3, true);
var twoSmall: Tween = new Tween(instrument, "scaleY", Back.easeInOut, 0, -.2, 3, true);
function rotate(e:MouseEvent):void {
var spin:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "rotation", Elastic.easeOut, 0, 360, 5, true)
function hideClip(e:MouseEvent):void {
instrument.visible = false;
function showClip(e:MouseEvent):void {
instrument.visible = true;
function fadeOut(e:MouseEvent):void {
var tweenfadeOut:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "alpha", None.easeOut, 1, -.1, 3, true);
function fadeIn(e:MouseEvent):void {
var tweenfadeIn:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "alpha", None.easeIn, 0, 1, 3, true);
I am having trouble creating Tweens and add easing types for the action script below!
I keep getting error message (“Access of undefined property Sine”) for example when I type
function hideClip(e:MouseEvent):void {
var noClip:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "visible", Sine.easeOut, 0, 1, 3, true);
Can anyone help???? The original script is below
hide_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hideClip);
show_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showClip);
function hideClip(e:MouseEvent):void {
instrument.visible = false;
function showClip(e:MouseEvent):void {
instrument.visible = true;

make sure you have imported the Sine class
import fl.motion.Sine;

Create shape and motion tween of a line

I am trying to create a line graph in which the line is
following a certain path over time like in a simulation. The line
starts with a point in frame 1 and ends with a smooth not straight
line in e.g. frame 50. The line has to "run" like in an
electrocardiogram.
Is it possible to create this in flash?
If so, how? I tried to combine shape and motion tweening, but
that didn't work.
Thanks for your help

This is doable
If it is a fixed set of lines you would create the lines in a
MovieClip symbol and then slide the MovieClip symbol under a mask
by changing the _x property with either onEnterFrame or
setInterval.
If you have to draw the lines from dynamic data at run time,
you use the
MovieClip.lineStyle
and the
MovieClip.lineTo
properties on a MovieClip that you then would scroll under a mask
if you are looking for the electrocardiogram rolling paper effect.

Classic and motion tween

Just wondering, if i create a tutorial on motion tweening, is it wrong to use a classic tween. Or are these two things essentially the same thing? Or should I call my tutorial classic tweening instead of motion tweening?
cheers

it depends on which method you use as both are different.
unfortunately the geniuses at adobe decided to take something that was called a "motion tween" for over 10 years and then rename it "classic tween" and create something totally new and name it "motion tween". I can't fathom the thought process over there sometimes.
now every book and tutorial out there that mentions "motion tweens" totally screws up anybody starting to learn with a different version.
they should have just called it an object tween and saved the world the trouble.

Error when creating tweens and masks

Hi Guys, i seem to be having a porblem with any sort of tweens, motion (classsic) and shape.
when i create a new motion tween for example, i get the yellow "!" error in properties and it says "Motion tweening will not occur on layers with ungrouped shapes or on layers with more than one group or symbol". Thing is, i dont have more than one symbol or thing more than one shape and that is actually being tweened.
the ! error only shows when i select the last frame in the tween. any ideas how i can get around this? i've never had this problem previously.
when i create a motion tween, i draw the object (in this case a circle), right click on the single keyframe, select create motion tween, then copy this keyframe and paste it further down the timeline, say at frame 10. At frame 10, i will move the circle to another location. the tween seems to work and it has created the symbol in the libary (tween 1) as a graphic, and when i export, it works ok, but the last frame has still the same error with the "!". Same thing happens with shape tweens.
In this case i have used a shape tween to make a circle become larger, and this which is my mask layer, with the masked later underneath, which is a static shape which i have drawn with the pencil tool. The mask works fine in flash, but when exproted, nothing shows.
I've linked to an example .fla file of the problem that i am having with the tween and also the mask layer. The main animation is in a movie clip called "Drop 10", in the libary.
Any help would be great as this is driving me mad.

does anyone have any idea what could be happening? i really need help with this.

Classic Tween VS Motion Tween - FPS

How do I set-up my memory amount for max speed for FCP and Motion

Hey all, I have a Dual 2.3 G5 with (8 Gigs) Ram. I'm working with a new client. I want to set up my memory or whatever else to provide MAXIMUM processing power for FCP and MOTION. Does anyone have any recommended settings. I've maxed-our RAM. My card is (ATI Radeon 9600-128MB of VRAM)
Is there a setting in FCP that allows more processing power to be applied to that application ?
Appreciate any replies

Most of FCP's speed in performing functions is directly related to processor speed. The only way to increase performance would be to use a Mac with faster processors. Performance is also related to data throughput, so if you're working with high data rate video formats, a fast RAID and/or SATA (or eSATA) media storage solution would help.
The exception to FCP performance is when rendering/processing FX Plugs; they are dependent on the power of the graphics card.
Motion is mostly dependent on the power of the graphics card.
There is no way that I'm aware of that you can speed up RAM. Having the extra RAM will just mean that you can successfully work with more applications open at the same time.

Why can't i access filters and motion for nested composition

i expect to be able to treat a nested composition just like a clip and double click it to access the filters and motion tabs. instead i get kicked back to the original composition. not what i would expect from reading the help section on nested compositions.
thanks!
(first time forum user -- not sure how to find reply -- send to <Edited out by hosts for your protection> if you wouldn't mind)

i expect to be able to treat a nested composition just like a clip and double click it to access the filters and motion tabs.
then you expect wrong! double-clicking an item "opens" that item ... so if you double click a "clip" then it opens into the viewer, but if you double-click a "nest" then it opens into the timeline
you can access the filters and motion tabs for that "clip" by selecting it in the timeline (single click) and then pressing Enter (or Return), or by dragging it from the timeline and dropping it onto the viewer window.
ps welcome to the forum, Inga ... if you can handle the complexities of FCP then I'm pretty sure you can figure out this forum!

Lost my Camera and motion paths

Help! I saved and closed a project, and when I re-opened it later, i can't see my camera or motion paths. The paths tracked over several photographs, and while I can see the photos in perspective view, they do not show up in any 3D angles or camera views. The wireframe image of the camera, background and motion paths are just gone.
Thanks in advance...

hi,
have you tried opening up a prject from the autosave vault. they might be in there

Color differences between FCP and Motion

Forgive me if I'm breaking any unwritten rules here as I posted this same topic on the Final Cut forum the other day..so bear with me as I hope to find some insight here from the many experienced (and extremely helpful) Motion users on the motion forum.
OK...here's my dilemma. I create a graphic/text page in Motion working with the RGB colors from a style guide provided by an agency. I then drop the motion project into the FCP timeline and the colors between the 2 applications are different.
I'm attaching a link to 2 jpegs that show the different RGB readings with the DigitalColorMeter application.
http://www.myphotos.yahoo.com/s/218qifk6fseemvbmprlw
In my Motion project the meter tells me that the dark blue color is RGB-11,44,99
In my FCP timeline the meter tells me that the dark blue color is RGB-4,30,79
I gather from some forum research that this may have something to do with gamma levels...my FCP setting has the Imported/StillRGB Video Gamma setting set at Source.
I'm hoping that someone can explain to me why the DigitalColorMeter readings would be different between Motion and FCP...and what I might do to feel confident that my Motion files would import correctly into my FCP timeline.
Thanks in advance to any insight....
Jay

After some more exploration...turning things on and off, changing sequence/gamma setting, and the like...I now realize what the issue is.
When the background setting in my canvas/edit window is set to black the colors are accurate between motion and FCP.
Once I change the background setting in the canvas/edit window to white or checkerboard there is definitely a shift in color/gamma. Not sure why that is...maybe someone can explain

Where can I found the Vision and Motion toolkit 64 bit

Hi,
I wrote an image analysis vi on Labview 2012 32bit but it is a bit too slow. I would like to test it on LabView 64bit but I am unable to download the Vision and Motion toolkit. I have the installation CDs for the academic version of LabView 2012, but only the 32bit version of it. Is there anyway to download the 64bit version of this toolkit?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Unless this have changed, much motion was not 64 bit ready. This can be a chalange since you would have to segment your code to 32 and 64bit parts. Vision works great in 64bit
