I am currently loading png files dynamically onto different movieClips one on top of the other, to create a turn. I have another set of png files that are loaded onto the other movieclips. When I press on the button to run the turn, certain frames turn blank. I found it had to do something with the next PNG file does not have the alpha channels processed correctly.
View 3 RepliesI`m currently working on a website in flash which is going to be kinda like a blog. The swf loads in in two files for each "post", one image and one text file. I already know how to do that. But the website has to be update able without using flash. How would you do this? I thought i maybe could have one folder named "posts" and in that folder i could have folders named something like "post1", "post2" etc. And the post with the highest number would be the newest one. Something like this:
Can flash read directories on the server? (but i cant get the search to work. Neither in Chrome nor IE. I just get HTTP error 500)
how I could re-size my stage?As well as, I would like to know how I could pan my moving animation horizontally/vertically? And is it possible to make an image fade to the next scene without a whiteout or blackout? How can I do this?
View 4 RepliesI am using Flash 8 - trying to get started by simply fading in/out using Alpha. I totally get on the first layer converting image to movie, inserting key frame and motion tween, selecting clip and changing alphato 0%. Where I am absolutely lost - is when it comes the second, third, fourth and fifth image. I have tried inserting new layers and repeating the steps - but for some reason 2-5 images do not transition like image one.
View 2 RepliesI have the code below which rotates a MC and fades it in to 100alpha and then fades it out again to 0 alpha. bearing in mind that all this happens on one frame, is there a way to get rid of the ghost image of the MC once the alpha gets down to 0?
I've tried to achieve this at the foot of this code with the removeMovieClip() but it doesn't seem to work.I know i could just let the timeline play to another frame once the animation is over to get rid of the ghost image but i'd really like to keep the animation to just the one frame...

amount = 5;
count = 0[code]..........
I have a .PNG image with almost 50% of the image as transparent pixels.I am using this image for a Mouse_Over event but the problem is the Mouse_Over event works even on the transparent area.
View 3 RepliesTrying to do some work with the following code which I got from "Levitated.net". It displays a series of random words floating in Space. It works perfect, however, no matter what I try it wont recognise spaces between words. So for exmaple if I want "Marketing Manager", it will show them as two seperate words, as oppossed to a phrase. I've tried seperating out with commas, but it's just rendering the commas in and displaying them! [code]...
View 1 RepliesI have this FLA with animation and when played, the animation has alpha channel. I cant understand why when I look in the library I see the frames without the alpha channel and also when I try to export/extract the image again the image dont have alpha channel. How is it that in flash this image has alpha channel and how to get it out like that into PNG? Here is the link to download the FLA:[URL]..
View 1 Replieswhat is it called when you have a image say 50x500 but is shown as a 50x50 and every so many seconds it changes its x by +50 making it play like a filmstrip. Also is it possible to color-to-alpha images imported VIA .load ?
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a portfolio which has tiny square buttons (one for each image) and arrows buttons to navigate through the portfolio. Everything is working just great, but I need the square buttons, when pushed, to change alpha or turn to dk grey instead of lt grey, and remain this way until the next image is shown. They should act as indicators as to where you are in the portfolio. The code I'm using is as follows:
picture._x=24;
picture._y=31;

This code isnt working to fade in my loaded images. am i missing something?
It has been years since I have used flash so I am probably a beginner again. I have just got CS3 but most of what I remember I think is action script 1.I have a website that I want to make the images load from external into swf file. I want to then control the alpha with the rollover. I got so far but... alpha works only if jpg is inside. when I have it outside it just flashes on and off on load.I need to make the my_mc to load from outside then fade in. After which I have the rollover fade in/out code below...
Button.prototype.fadeIn = MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function () {
this.onEnterFrame = function () {
if (this._alpha<100) { [code].....
What im trying to achieve is an alpha effect with image transitions. I have some links that I want to make an alpha fade for images when the users passes over the buttons. The effect that im searching for is like this one:
[URL]
But only, they should be triggered by rollovers not mousemovement. In addition i have some images connected to the buttons. for instance on productslink the product image should be "alpha 100%" and the previous image should animate from 100 to 0 % alpha.
I've got something very strange happening with the alpha of some loaded pictures. I load 27 images dynamically from within a class:
PHP Code:
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.*;
public class Portrait extends Sprite{
[Code] .....
However the first 4 portraits won't change alpha to a float number, I can only set the alpha to 1.
Code:
test_portrait = new Portrait(i, 0.8, (film_width/2)-(240), white_bg_square.y);
Results in a blank screen for the first 4 portraits... All the other portraits change transparency fine. There's nothing wrong with the loaded pictures because I swapped 1 for 10 and the problem remained while image 10 in an other position changes alpha just fine.
I'm in the middle of building a simple flash slideshow, using alpha fades between images. I have three layers, the first one being text, on the timeline for each layer/image. The other two layers are images, small footprint (sized and optimized in photoshop, each less than 100k). When I hit the Enter key it will play on timeline but the preview and fla file just won't start, hung up on the first frame.

the problems is that the alpha fade that I created, does not reset when a new images is loaded.Here is the script.
start of script
onClipEvent (load) {
photos = new Array("images/mel_1.jpg", "images/mel_2.jpg", "images/mel_3.jpg", "images/mel_4.jpg", "images/mel_5.jpg");[code].....
All the images have to be in timeline 1 on different layers(they all have to be in timeline one........).I have a frame, it has a lot of images on it, with them all set to _alpha = 0;
on a button press the required image has its alpha set to 100;
however this means there will be a lot of images on the screen at once....
If alpha is set to 0 does flash have to still draw the object, is there a better way ?

I want to mask an object which will contain text and images. I want the mask to be feathered at the bottom end, for a nice smooth effect when it animates into place. For my masking object, I've created a movie clip with a gradient, using a matrix fill. When I apply the mask, it works, but only as a rectangle. The feathered area (the grey bit) still masks completely. I'm stumped with this one. I've searched around for an explanation, but can't get it to work. Does anyone know of any examples of this working?

I'm trying to take a png and create two images, one that represents the color data and the other a grayscale version of the alpha channel.
Extracting the correct data was no problem, i'm just embedding the png, creating a new instance (as a Bitmap) and then extracting the relevent channels of it's bitmapData to two new bitmapData instances.
ActionScript Code:
[Embed(source='/../deploy/images/alpha_test.png')]
public var image : Class;
[code]....
The problem that i'm having, is that when i assign the colors bitmapData to a bitmap instance to display it, the background color is showing as black, even though the default fillColor of a bitmapData instance is white. how i can use the alpha channel data to create an 8 bit, grayscale image, that's the reverse of the channel?

I have loaded a model using the 3DS parser that is already linked to a material and loads fine. I would like to make this model semi-transparent part of the time but not all of the time. I would like to just set alpha = .5 but when I target the materal that is not an option.

var slingLoader:Loader3D = new Loader3D();

I'm having trouble with this code. My external swf is loading fine, it's the alpha tween that does not seem to be responding. I thought if I tween the holder movie clip that would affect the imported swf but it's not working.

I am currently trying to set a movieclips alpha property from an external text file. The movieclip is called Text_Main_Slide1
The text file:
banner_settings_468x60.txt
which contains:
&Alpha_Main_Slide1=0&
I have currently written:
loadVariables("banner_settings_468x60.txt", 0);
Text_Main_Slide1._alpha = Alpha_Main_Slide1;
which doesn't work.I can however set it manually: Text_Main_Slide1._alpha = 0;
But I need to be able to set the number from the text file.
I have 20 frames on a timeline, and a mc in the frames. Frame 1 the mc is _alpha 0%, at frame 20 the _alpha is 100%. A tween between the frames fades up the mc alpha. How can I change the frame 20 _alpha setting from outside the swf file? Say I need the alpha to be 60% at frame 20 BUT I can't open up the FLA, can I adjust the Alpha setting (using Loadvars perhaps) without going back into the FLA? I won't have access to the FLA (when the file is online) and I want to be able to manipulate the frame 20 _alpha setting. I have tried doing this totally in actionscript and not using the timeline, but if I can't get that to work I will need to be able to adjust the alpha parameter without editing the FLA.
View 2 RepliesI have a strange issue with the FLV files i imported to my site.These FLVs were imported with Alpha channels.In my site there is a button, that when its pressed for each FLV it starts playing.The Problem is after its been playing for awhile there is a strange Noise at the background that starts appearing slowly. (Please see attached file)The only code i have on each FLV is for transparety and a Loop (Plaese see below):
onClipEvent (load) {

[URL] i want the object to fade out but in the object there's a lot of overlapping pictures and each becomes half transparent. how to make the movieclip to change the alpha as it was without objects?
[Code]....
just spotted this curious trick. If you want to flip something to go invisible on a click, and then reappear on another click (etc etc), try this:
create the sprite, setting alpha to either to 1 OR -1
mySprite.alpha=1; //OR
mySprite.aplha=-1;
[code]....
using AS, on loading a movie a solid shape is there with alpha at 100% then over a period of 5 secs its alpha is reduced to 0.
i'm new to this......please help if you want to if you don't have a good weekend but think of me struggling onwards and upwards...
