Learnflash.com - Actionscript 3 Animation 638.5MB
In this video series, Flash guru Craig Campbell opens up Flash CS3 and discusses several different methods for animating with ActionScript 3.0. After discussing the basics, he then jumps into a few projects in which he demonstrates some practical uses for this type of animation.Detailed Video Descriptions
1 - Introduction (Running Time - 1:17)
2 - The ENTER_FRAME Event (Running Time - 9:22)In this video, Craig demonstrates how to animate an object by calling on a function repeatedly at the current frame rate.
3 - Animating With a Timer (Running Time - 9:51)Using a Timer to animate is similar in functionality to the way the ENTER_FRAME method works, except that with a Timer, you have a little more control over the speed and fluidity of the animation.
4 - ActionScript Tweens (Running Time - 9:00)You’ve heard of motion tweens, but did you know you could create motion tweens using ActionScript? In this video, Craig will demonstrate how.
5 - Animating Diagonally (Running Time - 10:07)Animating diagonally involves altering both the x and y coordinates of an object, and in this video, Craig demonstrates how to do this using the methods we’ve already discussed.
6 - Animating Size (Running Time - 13:21)In this video, Craig demonstrates how to animate the width and height of an object when it is clicked.
7 - Introduction to Slideshow Project (Running Time - 1:39)Using some of the techniques learned so far, Craig gives you a tour of your first project for the series—an animated slideshow.
8 - Slideshow – Setting the Stage (Running Time - 13:50)In this video, Craig sets up all of the visual assets for the slideshow.
9 - Slideshow – Loading Pictures (Running Time - 12:18)In this video, Craig demonstrates how to get the loader component to work when a thumbnail is clicked.
10 - Slideshow – Calculating Size (Running Time - 10:12)Retrieving the width and height of a picture that is loaded into a UILoader component isn’t quite as easy as you might think. In this video, Craig shows you how to find the right values.
11 - Slideshow – Centering the Images (Running Time - 7:09)With the width and height of our images retrieved, Craig demonstrates how to use these values to center the images in our viewing area.
12 - Slideshow – Animating the Background (Running Time - 16:45)In this video, Craig demonstrates how to animate the gray background so that it changes dimensions in order to match the size of the image that has been selected.
13 - Slideshow – Animating Transparency (Running Time - 11:30)In this video, Craig takes the slideshow one step further by fading the transparency of the images in when they’re loaded.
14 - Dragging a Movie Clip (Running Time - 15:14)In this video, Craig demonstrates how to create a draggable map using ActionScript 3.
15 - Auto-Scrolling Map (Running Time - 21:28)In this video, Craig demonstrates how to create a map that automatically moves in response to the position of the mouse cursor.
16 - The Animator Class (Running Time - 7:33)The Animator class was designed to allow users to highlight a motion tween that was created in the timeline and to copy that animation as ActionScript. In this video, Craig demonstrates the basics of this process.
17 - Animatin Multiple Objects (Running Time - 11:35)In this video, Craig demonstrates how to alter the code of the Animator class in order to apply a copied animation to multiple objects.
18 - Trigonometry (Running Time - 5:17)In this video, we’re going to begin a discussion on how to animate an object around a circular path in ActionScript. But before we get started, Craig explains a few basic trigonometric concepts.
19 - Animating in a Circle (Running Time - 12:23)In this video, Craig uses the concepts discussed in the last video in order to animate an object around a circular path.
20 - Carousel Animation (Running Time - 13:46)In this video, we take what we’ve learned so far about animating in circles, and we use it to begin building a carousel animation, with multiple objects moving in an oval.
21 - Adjusting Depths (Running Time - 15:04)We have a little bit of a problem with depths in our carousel animation, so in this video, Craig demonstrates how to fix this problem.
22 - Adjusting Sizes (Running Time - 14:36)In this video, Craig demonstrates how to dynamically adjust the sizes of the items in your carousel in order to give the animation a sense of depth.
23 - Using Multiple Movie Clips (Running Time - 9:48)When creating a carousel animation, you might not want all of the animated movie items to be different instances of the same movie clip. In this video, Craig demonstrates how to alter your code in order to insert a variety of movie clips into the animation.
24 - Altering the Speed (Running Time - 7:43)In this video, Craig explains how to alter the speed and direction of your carousel animation depending on the location of the user’s cursor.
25 - Clickable Carousel Buttons (Running Time - 9:29)In this video, Craig wraps up the carousel project by explaining how to make the items in the carousel clickable.
26 - Experimenting with Circles (Running Time - 16:19)In this video, Craig demonstrates some experimental ActionScript drawing techniques that build on our discussion of animating in circles.
27 - Conclusion (Running Time - 0:49)
