animating UIImageView

[stirkles17]

Hi...

I have this animation image... and I have no idea on how to animate it...

however I don't just want it to animate when the application begins as it is a feature of a button being pressed directly above it...

Also I want the animation to reapeat but only a few times...

Then after I get the animation working I need the button to work with 2 labels on a ratio basis... soooo the way I want it is that one label will be the concluding answer for about 80% of the button pushes where as the 20% would pop up more rarely to give my application an edge...

can someone please help as I am desperate and cannot find anywhere in my apress book and the posts on the forums just stress me out and confuse me...

*cries*

I use this code for the animation in my app 'My Blue Screen'

bsTitleAnimation.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe01.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe01.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe02.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe03.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe04.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe05.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe05.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe05.png"],

[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe06.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe07.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe08.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe06.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe07.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe08.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe06.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe07.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe08.png"],

[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframeB.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframeB.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe09.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe09.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe09.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe09.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe09.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe09.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe10.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe10.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe10.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe10.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframeB.png"],

[UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe11.png"], nil];
bsTitleAnimation.animationDuration=6;
bsTitleAnimation.animationRepeatCount=1;
bsTitleAnimation.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"bootframe11.png"];
[bsTitleAnimation startAnimating];

replace bsTitleAnimation with whatever your UIImageView is named. animationDuration is the number of seconds in total that the animation will last, and animationRepeatCount is the number of times it will loop, you can also set this to 0 to loop forever.

Generate a random number between 0 and 9.

you can use
int x = arc4random()%10
if(x < 8)
use the label that you want for 80% pushes
else
use other label

Thank you guys!!

ill try them out tomorrow and write back on how it goes

errm shad123456... ur post has confused me slightly...

also... ill have to connect all this up right...

the button with the UIImage so that the animation starts wen the user holds the button... and then connect the button to the 2 labels with the code for the percentage differences??

confusing... as i am neeew n iv only made one independent app so far and it was a simple viewfield, background click t make the keyboard go away and save text when done...

You had a question that on button push you want a couple of actions to be triggered. One of the action should happen 80% of the times and the action happens 20% of the times.

In the code for button push

-(IBAction) pressButtonid) sender {
int x = arc4random() % 10;
if( x < 8) //80% probability of this happening
{
//perform the action which needs to occur 80% times
//[self actionwithgreaterprobability];
}
else //20% probability of this happening
{
//other action
//[self otherAction];
}
}

hey shad1236

Where is the code??

iv added the .h code and it all looks very promising

me = very happy

but im wondering if by the .m code... if its what the other guy has posted ??

errrm comes up with 2 errors...

one in delegate.m which is method definition not in @implementation context

and another in the .m file which says the same as in the delegate file...
