ActionScript 1/2 :: Buttons In An Overlay
Apr 28, 2010
Recently I created a simple flash text card animation with arrows allowing the user to scoll through the different cards. I wanted to go a step further and make an overlay so when the user rolls over it, it would expand showing a variety of buttons for them to click and link off to in different places this is where my problem began. I created to overlay as a movie clip and when a small arrow is rolled over the movie clip overlay_mc plays and expands to reveal the buttons and the rollout function causes it to contract. The buttons however are un-clickable and after some research i discovered this is because the overlay_mc clip acts as a layer over the buttons.Is there anyway I can create an overlay with the buttons remaining active?

I want to make some online courses in video format. I am wondering whether it is possible and what the best work flow and tools are for achieving the following. Once I have a video in Flash format (.flv) I grant users access to it via a login-in. At that point I want the user name to be overlaid to the video. This is to deter fraudulent exchange of the video (only the ones who paid for it should watch it). I am baffled by what I found in the internet. I looked at JavaFX, swfmill, SWFTools, MTASC, Ming library, haXe, FlashDevelop, Flex SDK... It is not clear to me:
- If what I want to achieve is possible (overlay the user name to the video).
- What the right work flow is.
- What the right tool is (the simplest and possibly free).

I'm coding a flash video jukebox. In this movie there will be a small box with subtitles for the flv playing at the moment. The problem is that, when I press the fullscreen button, the text overlay dissapears. I think that what is really happening is that the overlay is "hiding" at the back of the video.
Is there any way to put this overlay on top of the video so it remains even if I press the "fullscreen" button on the flvplayback component?

Does anyone know how to create an action that will allow a text overlay to appear with the source image from a UIloader? I'm considering just editing the image itself to include the text but am hoping to reduce file size.

I am trying to overlay a div on top of a flash object, embedded in a web page and viewed on android web browser. The flash object always appears on top of the div, no matter what I do. My page works fine on other OSs/browsers. Is this a known bug? Is there a bug ID and/or an ETA on a fix?

I'm having trouble displaying a overlay div saying "Please wait..." on top of a flash movie, even with absolute positioning and z-index highier than the flash movie itself. But the overlay div is still behing the flash movie. Why is that? I think it's something to do with embed/param tags but I'm not sure? Here's the code:

I've got a div over an iframe, in the iframe there's a website that contains a youtube movie. On mac firefox and safari everytyhing works fine, on windows both IE and FF put flash on top of my div.
The situation I have is really similar to google image interface, I noticed that google images manages to correctly overly an immage over a website with flash content in any browser both win and mac.
How they manage to do that? Considering they have no access to iframed page code. I tried reading their code to find solution with no success.

usually it can be solved with the "wmode transparent" param, but in firefox i have a strange problem. when i overlay a flash element with a part of a div the div renders strange (like stairs at the border of the flash element)
[URL]
the grey area (and a small transparent area above) is the flash element. the outline is the div with a border.
the error occurs only on FF (i have 3.6) chrome/safari works fine...
CODE:
its an swfobject implementation. the overlaying div/ul is positioned after the
flash-wrapper.
<div id="flash-wrapper">
<object width="740" height="500" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
[Code].....

I want to use semi transparent circles to show the intensity of the effect by altering the radius of the circle and animate it while placing them. for example it appears as a dot and then grows to the intended size in fraction of a sec.
I could see some functions in javascript API but not in Flex. Saw some examples that uses polygon. But i dont want to plot all 360 points for just one circle.

I am making a head unit "wall" for an AV store. the wall will have all the various head units they carry. When clicked, I want a small overlay to come up over the rest of the app that displays basic info about the unit. Then a simple click to make the box disappear... There are several head units, so efficiency would be ideal.

is there any way to add an overlay image dynamically over a MovieClip? Sort of like a watermark... except that I'm not trying to make a watermark.Let me explain: I'm trying to program a gallery of videos that will be loaded dynamically through XML. Each video will come with a JPG of the same size, which will be the poster frame for said video (and will also be loaded via XML). The user will see a scrollable horizontal strip of "videos" (actually the pictures), and when he clicks on one of them, the poster frame will disappear (_visible=false) and the FLV player underneath will start playing the chosen video.
So far so good. I load the pictures via XML and put each of them in a MovieClip. I distribute the MovieClips in an horizontal strip. I add to each of them an event handler so that they start playing the video when pressed. The only thing that I don't know how to do is: how do I add to each of the MovieClips a semitransparent "Play" button? They are generated dynamically, and I don't know how many of them (i.e. how many videos) will be there beforehand, so I can't simply add them in a layer on the Stage;

how we can create an overlay in flash?
I want a case where user clicks something in the flash file, I want to check if he is logged in, if he is not then give him a login screen on top of whatever he was viewing in the flash file. Once the login screen is displayed, he should not be able to do anything in the background - only when the login credentials are verified, will he be able to do anything behind this overlay.
I don't want to go to a different frame, I want to show a screen on top of the current screen being viewed by the user.

I am creating a game using flash. When the player looses the game, I need to show a message like "You lost...!!!" as an overlay to the currently displayed view. So when this message is displayed, user should not be able to click the controls (may be button or some movie clips) behind it. How can it be possible?

Overlay blending mode in flash on trasnaprent, imported images, doesn't work properly! It leaves dimmed black background instead of transparency. Same thing is in CS4 and in CS5. What is even more weird is that in Flash preview stage window everything is fine, and it works, but after publishing the SWF, you can see black background.I looked for workaround that...no success. No one answeres to this question.
-I tried with 24png, 8png, gif with different settings. No success.
-Tried also with After Effects, and then export to SWF, it works surprisingly.

There are buttons on either side that scroll the dynamically loaded images left and right. The script is compiled from an external AS file which I've pasted below.
What I need to do is load a transparent png over top of the images but underneath the buttons. I've inserted a graphic below. I've tried inserting the png directly in the timeline as well as loading it dynamically in to a movie clip. The overlay always comes out on the bottom. [code]...

How would one create a custom MXML component in flex which is based on an existing component but draws an overlay over this existing component in certain situations.
Ideally, the new component should be based on (derive from) the exiting component so that occurrences of the existing component could just be swapped out with the new one.
I tried to override updateDisplayList() in the new component and to paint the overlay using this.graphics. This resulted in the overlay being drawn underneath the children of the existing component. I also tried to do the drawing upon receiving a render-event which lead to similar results.
When the external condition which should trigger the display of the overlay changes, I call invalidateDisplayList() on my new component. That works to trigger the drawing for both cases described above. The remaining problem seems to be to figure out how to draw on top of all the other components once they are added.
The following example should illustrate what I tried to do; when overlayEnabled was set and the component's invalidateDisplayList() method was called, the red rectangle would get painted in the background.[code]...

flash, actionscript, and the class/method/static/instance paradigm. I do have one class that I use, it loads a png file and adds it to the stage, I can then manipulate it with the mouse. What I want to do is add some text on top of the png file. When the user clicks and drags the png file around, I want the text to stick with it, basically make it part of the png, overlay it, combine them, group them, whatever.Here is the class I am using to load the png.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;

I'm using a DisplacementMapFilter to created a globe-like effect on a flat map. My problem is, I also want to sync some labels to this map. I have the x/y coordinates for their locations on the flat map, but I need to map them to the now-displaced image.
I would like to be able to do this using the BitmapData that contains the displacement map, so that changing the Bitmap changes both the displacement filter and the label locations. Also, the labels will not be static, and accuracy is fairly important.

I'm trying to achieve an effect similar to the Overlay blend mode between two layers in photoshop in Flash. It sounds simple enough, but BlendMode.OVERLAY produces a distinctly different result than what is seen in photoshop using the same two images. I was wondering if anyone knows a good way to mimic Photoshop's overlay.

I have seen loads of cool sites with video that have an overlay of dots sitting over the video. I guess this is in part for a design aesthetic, and the other to reduce the visible amount of pixellation from the compression.Can anyone tell me how to create this sort of effect dynamically, or am i going to have to duplicate a million movieclips? And if i do, will this affect performance?

I am trying to close on as I am attempting to get this incorporated into my website. It came with the recommendation to try the CS5 today to see if this will meet the requirement at the moment.There is a desire to take custom SWF files (I think there is something called Swish files too?) from various sponsors for advertisement purposes and place them on my website.The implementation was straight-forward to make them work through the webserver.I tried a custom example of making a button that upon mouse click would open up a new webpage in CS5 which did work for me.My problem is since the SWF files are finalized, there is no way to put URL information into those files.After doing a lot of searching around today, it appears that the best way to redirect a user upon click of a video is to:
1) Open up a new Flash
2) Import the SWF video file into the project
3) Create a Invisible Button over top the SWF video so when the user clicks, they are redirected to a specific URL.
But for some reason, when I tried to overlay it with a sample SWF file I imported, there was all this flickering going on to where both were made transparent to one another on the screen not to mention the video wasn't even visible at all.My hope was that the SWF video could be seen clearly while the button remained invisbile to handle the click on the video.Is there someone on the forum that is able to guide me fairly quickly with a fast-path procedure so that I can try this?

I am building a SWF and the goal is to load in an external SWF file and then display that within my container. They are totally unrelated items and I do not want to modify the functionality of the item I am loading in. My SWF will briefly display a watermark overlay, but then disappear. Can anyone guide me into this best way of doing this?Also, is there anyway to get the properties from the SWF I loaded in (namely height and width) so I might be able to easily adjust the size of my SWF to match?
