I found an awesome tutorial to create a blur button but I can't figure out how to make it go to and play consistantly. Here is the link. A sample code would be ideal. [URL]
View 4 RepliesI've put a blur effect on the hit state of a button, but the script for the button is On Release Go to and Play the scene I wan't it to skip to. So as soon as the button is clicked it does what it's told and the blur effect (16 frames long) doesn't get to play.
View 5 RepliesI am looking for some help on a specific effect. I was pretty good in the old days in flash but I have fallen behind badly and the new action script and such is making my head spin a bit. The effect I am looking to do is like the FETblur,first one on the page, [URL]...
View 1 Repliesi have a button, if i click it, the man_mc blurred. i made become blurred but form 0 (unblurred) to 4(blurred), i want to make it apply the blur gradually.
Code:
var blur:Number = 5
var myBlurFilter:BlurFilter = new BlurFilter(4,4,3);

I'm trying to achieve the same effect as the carousel on this site: [URL]. Only different thing I'm trying to do is not have it auto scroll, but to have a left and right button. I have tried using the Carousel 3 tutorial and modifying the code but I keep running into problems and I am a little lost getting the blur effect going and getting the z-index (ie items get smaller as they rotate to the back similar to the example above).
View 2 RepliesI'm building a photogallery base on this tutorial http:[url]....I'm trying to add a play button, so the gallery would play the pictures onRelease of the button at interval of 3s.It's not working. my code is:
playBTN.onPress = function() {
this._alpha = 50;
setInterval(this, "nextImage", 3000, 1);[code]....
So at the beginning when my SWF loads up it also loads up a sequence of animated clips like [code]...
And my clipLoaded function is[code]...
The clip4 file being loaded in has a stop() at the first frame. Later in the game (clip4 is the "outro") I use[code]...
However, the clip only seems to play about 25% of the time and all the other clips which I load the exact same way play fine. The only difference is that those clips get played fairly soon after they load which leads me to believe clip4 is being autoreleased at some point but I really have no clue.
url...Is there a more effective way to consistently show and hide a textfield? or is there a smarter class to use like MovieClip or Sprite?I've tried all 3.This configuration of the two functions shows the message box once, but fails to hide. [code]Alternatively if I don't set the alpha in showMsg it show once, hides once, but fails to show again.It's like alpha can only be changed once and then it fails to change after that:[code]

View 1 RepliesI modified an existing slideshow script so that it would like to a page when you clicked the image. However, the images do not always load up in the correct order, but the links and descriptions do, so if you click an image it takes you to the wrong page.
It changes when you refresh the browser and acts differently in ie to firefox - in ie it is usualy incorrect the first time, then goes ok once u refresh. The link to view is: [url]. and the actionscript is[code]...
I have several buttons in my Flash file that direct to an external URL with the openUrl command. That always works. However, in some cases I used _self to open the new URL in the same tab, and in other I used _blank to open it in a new tab, but that doesn't work consistently. Sometimes the one labeled _blank opens the URL in the same tab, and vice versa. Is there another way to define whether I want the new URL to open in a new tab or not?
View 2 RepliesI have 9 buttons on my site which I wish to increase to 100% alpha when the users mouse rolls over each one, then have the alpha reduced to the original setting of 75% on rollout.If I set the code below for 1 button it works just fine. However, if I repeat this code just changing the numbers for each button, it stops working once duplicated more than a couple of times.Why does it stop working and how can I write this efficiently so it works for all 9 buttons?
Here is the code:-
addtocart1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_O VER, fadeinaddtocart1);
function fadeinaddtocart1(event:Event):void

I had a nice graphic of a shape-tweening flame from AS2 which instantly crashes an AS3 Movie, so I tried copying frames without the tweening. No dice, same behavior. Then I traced over the original shapes, recreating them from scratch, and got rid of the AS2 graphics. Still crashes. Mind you, this isn't even tweening, it's just some still vector graphics. Finally, I tried redrawing the flames in Illustrator and copying them over. Same thing, which specifically is: no output error, just buggy behavior, all the images animating in an endless loop.
View 1 RepliesI've been working on a simple mosaic generator for a project and have been crashing Flash consistently by trying to add too many bitmaps to a Sprite. I can crash Flash every time with the following:
for(var i:int = 0; i < 10000; i++){
var d:BitmapData = new BitmapData(20,20);
addChild(new Bitmap(d));
}
I get a 2015 error - invalid BitmapData.9000 works without issue... 10000 crashes. Problem is I need 10000.Is this a known limitation? I could try using multiple sprites and adding say 5000 to each, but that wouldn't be easy with this project. But if I have to I have to...
I am trying to make a swf with one FLV playback player and 6 buttons. I've got 6 different videofiles that I want to have linked to this swf. Some of the videos are quit large.When starting the Swf, the first video has to start, after playing it, it has to stop. Then you must be able to choose which video to play by clicking one of the buttons. I don't want to have small thumbnails of the video, just plain and simple buttons.I have to have all my files, both fla, swf and xml files in the same directory (I cannot have them stored in different folders, since I have to upload this to a cms system which has limited upload properties).
I've tried to find the right script on the internet, I'm not very good at scripting myselve, actually rather poor educated there.It seems to me that I have to make an xml file with a list of all my videos, I have my default swf ready, with a FLVplayback and buttons.Now there's just the coding part....
I have created two buttons for separate audio files. Essentially if you click on the button it will play and stop. This works great! I have also injected a SoundMixer.stopAll(); to ensure if you click between both buttons that it will stop the current audio file to play the next one. My problem is when I select the 2nd button for the first time everything seems to be working...it's when I attempt to click on the first button again, that it will require 2 clicks and then it stops and plays accordingly...anyone know how I could eliminate this annoying two click process?

I have five different scenes all including three different buttons. When I test the buttons in "play scene" - all buttons sounds correctly in all scenes. But when I play movie, there is sound only with one button (the same button in every scene). I have looked for differences, but this button seem to have all the same parameters as the others.

View 2 RepliesUsing Macromedia Flash Professional 8.
I have a website banner made in Flash. I have added a music file to it and Play and Stop buttons. I also have a Replay button to replay the banner animation once it stops.
I have put the music on a separate frame so that it will not play automatically when the banner loads. I have made the Play button direct to the frame the music is located at so that when clicked, it will go to that frame and play the music file.
The problem I am currently having is that if I click the Play button more than once, it will play the music file again on top of the current play-through.
So if I click Play, the music will play. Then if I click it again, the music will play again, but on top of the first instance of the music, so two instances of it will now be playing and it sounds horrible.
I would like to make it so that if you click Play when the music is playing, it will not play the music again until the music has stopped.
