Why the pause?

**cbutton69** · 14 December 2006, 07:38 PM

This is my first attempt at Xtreme Pro Flash. It does exactly what I expect, but there's a pause before it starts over. If I add frames to it, it doesn't seem to help. What am I doing wrong?

Also the animation on my computer moves smoothly but when I preview what I uploaded, it just jumps between frames.

I guess that's because it doesn't automatically come up in PRO.

When you name objects that you may go back and edit, sometimes in the editing you have changed the original, you need to click on "redefine". Then you need to check that the redefinition still tweens between frames. It is a good idea to preview it but then again open it just with the browser where you have the file saved as a .swf as it can be different. Adjusting the frames per second may help.

The pause can be caused in returning to the first frame, the last frame if set to 0.0 seconds will return to frame one without a hiccough. You may need to duplicate the last frame to add a 0.0 second frame depending upon your animation.

Hi Charlie,

The first frame will display for the 0.5 seconds before the tweening begins. By changing the display time per frame of the last frame to 0 that will make it tween to the first frame during the first frames display time. Or something to that effect

. It seems to work

Thank you, Sally, and thank you, Bill.

I thought, from the subject line, that you meant something like the attached...

(Preview the animation to see what I mean)

Ha Ha ;-)
