AS3 :: Scaling - Clips Text And Distorts Diagonal Line On Photographs
Feb 11, 2010
I used some code that I found, I think even from you guys the scale an external swf being loaded onto a background movie clip. Works great with the exception that it clips some text and creates some funny diagonal lines and some poor picture quality. I have a feeling that this is down to a slight difference in sizing some where along the line. The stage size is 2560 x 1440 being scaled down to any size, but as I mentioned I don't think the height and width are quite in sync for the widescreen format.
In my movie I have a few products that I resize dynamically based on which one is selected. the selected product is shown full scale while the other are scaled back. However the scaled back ones lose image quality and look pixelated. the products are currently movieclips in my presentation. Is there a way to use scale w/o it distorting the image? I'm currently using TweenLite for my tweening/scaling.
I'm working on a volume slider for a type of jukebox and what I'm using is an actual drawing that is on an angle, therefore the volume slider and handle aren't in a straight horizontal line.I've done the basic code to keep the handle within the distance of my slider "line" (left to right), but what I have obviously just constrains it to a rectangle.
The slider and handle are both at actual size, that's why it's only 32 pixels wide that I need it to go across and 9 pixels down. I do realize that for what I want, it's much more involved than this simple startDrag code with 4 sets of numbers in it.I'm including the source file in Flash 8/Actionscript 2.0.
Currently, I am using the code below. But it is telling me that the circle is starting to hit the line when it's y position is 40. But since the circle actually isn't crossing the line itself (virtually) until it's y position is at about 205, I don't want the trace-action called so early.
Code: var circle: Sprite = new Sprite(); circle.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000); circle.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 10); circle.x = 170;
i have a textField wherein i uses embedded fonts, the problem is when i change its size and i do not set the SAME scaleX and scaleY value, it seems to compress the letters inside it when i make it smaller, and stretch the text when i make it bigger... i tried using width and height values (instead of scaleX and scaleY but its the same result)... it seems that the embedded fonts are maintaining some kind of aspect ratio or whatever, and again this only happens when embedFonts is set to true
How would I go about making diagonal link like this one.I drew a retangle so that my text would fit in, select both text and rectangle, F8 turn into button,then I turn them 45degree. When hover the text change color the way I want, but the problem is that the button enters the hover state way too soon when my mouse isnt over the rectangle yet.Seems like as long as my mouse falls within x and y coordinates of the text then it goes into hover state.For example my mouse is under the diagonal box, not in yet, but right under the text and it would go into hover state.
I'm building some navigation that extends all the way from left to right across my SWF. When the window resizes, I'd like the nav buttons to get wider but not have the text on the buttons get wider.
The buttons themselves are rectangles with a vertical gradient and a stroke around the outside. I'm using 9-slice scaling so the stroke doesn't scale, but the middle (gradient) gets wider or narrower.What'd be great is to be able to select an object or layer and say "don't scale, even if the rest of this movie clip scales". Is there a way to do that, or will I have to do it via actionscript?
I want to 9 scale the line in the shape of 'U' so that i can increase the width in a manner that the rounded corner of the line not got spoiled and I also want to resize (in proportion) it without spoiling it's rounded corner. Right now I have done it in the distinct files but I want to do these both properties in a single file.
starting a new AS 3 website and (dont hit me) i must admit this is the first AS 3 site i am doing - it's going rather well but i do have a question. I woudl like to create a class that will draw a simple box outline based on dimensions i pass it. But i want the actual drawing of the box to be tweened. So the lines would start out as 1px lines and then tween to be say 100 px wide by 100px high. I have played around with several tweens on both boxes and lines and nothing has worked to my satisfaction. Problem is the lines get fatter as the width scales out. I am thinking that perhaps the only way to do this is to actually draw lines with line to in some loop on onEnterFrame but have not succeeded. So if anyone has an example of this please do share it.
I have a few movie clips which all have specific registration points set I need to scale them down in proportion according to the registration point. If am looking at the stage, hold down the shift key and resize the movieclip it works exactly how I would like it to.
However, I need to do this dynamically using AS3. I have been scaling the movie clips etc but I cannot figure out how to emulate holding down the shift key in AS3, so that the movie clips are re-sized in proportion according to the registration point.
There are a lots of HOWTOs about shooting and stitching 360 photographs, but I didnt find any tutorial about uploading those photographs on my web. How should I do this? What do I need for it?
I have a flash document with movie clips in it that i want to scale depending on the monitor or window size. it looks great on 1024 x 768.....but not on small laptops
'i am doing a game for children where users can drag and drop resize and scale movie clips on stage! The drag and drop is not an issue...however im not quite sure how to do all the rest... is there a way or a tutorial to do this?
I recently stumbled upon a site called 'The Influence Project' which allows the user to control a infinite wall of photographs in space with the keyboard.You can check out the site here http:[URL]....
So I inherited a website which uses actionscript to present a series of photographs in a slideshow. I do not have any sort of grasp on actionscript.where in the following script the SPEED of the slideshow is controled? I need to slow it down.this._lockroot = true;
stop(); _root.pathToPics = "advertising_big/"; // fill this array with your pics
make a button to load an input text field for email addresses
I've loaded an image with a loader, and if I add the loader to the stage, all is well, the image looks fine. Although if I add the loader inside a display object container, then the image gets distorted- and on top of that, trying to change the width and height once its in the container doesn't work either.
in Flash CS4 I have static text like: Line1 and line2 It's in 9 point Arial Regular as a device font. If I set the line spacing below 3.9 the second line dissappears from the compiled SWF file. It still shows in the FLA file. The same thing happens at 6pt but NOT at 5pt or less.
Is it possible to load a text file using line breaks as a delimeter rather than having a &var= at the beginning of each line? Like by a for instance? I have a text file with about 1000 lines that I need to load/display.
When a Dynamic Multiple line text field is used in Flash CS3, it has a very annoying feature that auto inserts a line break at the end of inserted text. It also auto inserts a line break if no text is entered too.
I'm having a problem with this because the text is being saved from flash to a text file on the desktop. With every multi-line text field there's a nasty looking line break.
Any way of "turning off" this auto-line-break-at-the-end feature?
I'm attempting to add line breaks after the code I've included below. I know that I need to add a " " after the line of text, but I haven't had any success.
I've got two movie clips; right_hip and left_hip. How can I make it so a line is drawn between the two?And, as a precaution, how can I make one point offset? By that I mean if right_hip was a square, and it's registration point was on the left side, how do I make the line go to the centre of it?
Im trying to make something Here it is. Its going to be 2 movie clips that are going to be dragged up and down(Only vertical movment!!!). And when u have then in the position u want, u can push a button and draw a line thrugh the 2 clips. Or if there could be a line that is always on the 2 clips.
I know its kinda badly explained, therefore im gonna put up a little schetch.The only thing i have manage to make is the drag

I have made a top 10 module for my site that loads variables dynamicly in text fields, it works pretty fine, but i have a problem. The text inside the text fields is scaling on move.I don't want the text inside to scale.Here you have the link:xample of text field creation in my as:
Code: private function createTextField(x:Number, y:Number, width:Number, height:Number):TextField {
