I was just wondering whether or not it was possible to refer to all objects currently visible on the stage in Actionscript, be they images, text object, anything, to apply effects to.

Is it possible in as3 to code a jpeg/psd to ease into being blurred, and then ease back out. With just an un-blurred picture? With a blurred and unblurred picture? Shape tween takes too much processing power to transistion good.
View 2 RepliesAll I need is a simple example, of loading jpgs into flash as3 and a function for applying a transition effect on them. Something like:
Code:
import com.greensock.*;
TweenLite.to(image[1], 2, {alpha:1});
let's say i have this object on stage and it is called myShape and i want to manipulate it via action-script and apply a gradient color to it .. no if it is a fill color i could have used the colortransform method but i don't think that it will work ..
import flash.geom.*
import flash.display.*
var fillType:String = GradientType.LINEAR;[code]........
now when i test this i don't get any errors but i doesn't apply any thing ..
I wrote a magnifying glass application from a tutorial, but it only effects movieclips:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.filters.DisplacementMapFilter;
import flash.geom.Point;

I have a swf file and i want to give it a transparent background to the stage. I understand that it's possible to give it the transparency through the HTML publish setting using the 'transparent windowless' property.However, i wanted to know whether there's an actionscript property to give the same transparency effect to the stage. like the opactiy or something (sorry, I might be wrong) The thing is I have a external preloader which loads the content swf and when it gets loaded, the stage loses it's transparency.
View 9 RepliesI am creating one movieclip function to use filter inside it. Scenario is I have alert_win (movieClip to show alerts). By default I disable its visibility and then call on some function. Now everything works fine except one thing. I want to draw blur effect on loaded background under that movie clip "alert_win". How can I blur the whole stage except loaded movieclip? Also "alert_win" movieClip is dragable. And on close button of that movie clip I am removing its visibility off.
Here is my code.
_root.alert_win._visible = false;
if(System.capabilities.screenResolutionX > 1024){
import flash.filters.*;
var dropShadowropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter(2, 45, 0x000000, 0.3, 3, 3, 1, 10);
_root.alert_win.filters = [dropShadow];

I am looking to create an effect this this: [URL] Or even were the lines come in as a group or lines do a moment and move off the stage again. Been trying to mask it but the problem is that the line vectors have no inside too them, just a pure line.
View 1 Repliesi have a menu which has 10 items. there are sub menus for each of them. the submenus total to 40 items. and when i click on ech of these submenus, then i need an image to appear on a part of the stage. Now, I need the same effect for ech of the image. Say when i click on the 1st submenu of the 1st main menu, the image of an apple comes from the bottom the stage to the centre of the stage.
Now when I click on any other submenu - say 1st submenu of the 3rd main menu, this apple image should go off the stage from the top and an image of mango should appear from the bottom of the stage to the centre of the stage (same as how apple image appeared). So, basically, i need any image to come from the bottom of the stage to centre of the screen and whn a diff image is calld, the image on the screen shld go off frm centre to the top.
i'm looking to replicate the effect of dynamically changing the stage size based on the size of the movie that is being loaded in it.
View 14 RepliesI am trying to make a so called pixel effect in witch I want to make a shape only from pixels that are positioned in some random place on the stage.

View 2 RepliesI created a 300x250 Web banner for Google with a mouse trail effect. The banner will not upload because, according to the Google tech people, the banner contains animation that goes "out of bounds." Common sense tells me that if a mouse effect is applied to a Flash banner, then it should only be occurring when a user mouses over that banner. However, I was told that the mouse effect does indeed take place outside the 300x250 banner boundaries, which is preventing the banner from being fully uploaded live.
Does anyone know how to define the stage area so that the mouse effect only occurs in this 300x250 space? Perhaps the only way to get around this is to create a 300x250 hidden button and somehow make the mouse effect occur on rollover. If that is the case, then does anyone know how to do that?
check out: [URL] The typewriter effect here is very fast, much faster than when I use onenterframe to produce the effect. Does anyone know how this is done?
View 14 RepliesI really like the text effect Pom used in the footer contest, and would like to use the same grid-type method of creating mc letters but with a different effect. i understand how to change the parameters and shapes of the letters, but can't seem to figure out which piece of code is purely for the explosion effect. basically, i want the letters but with the 'Repel' effect from[URL] here is Pom's AS:

I have a CSS file, and an XML file. Both are loading fine, but the flash isn't applying the CSS to the XML nodes I assign.
ActionScript:
Code:
district1_BTN.onRelease = function() {

in a nut shell I have found this wicked piece of open source actionscript.
It responds to the cursor and was wondering if it is posible to modify the x_position and y_position actions and make the action respond to a moving object???? (a movieclip with a variable name)
is this to complicated to attempt or is it doable??

on a project in Flash CS4 for Windows. I have an object on a layer that moves separately at different times of the animation (all one large motion tween). I'm attempting to apply an ease to just one leg of that motion, but instead, when I choose an ease setting in the motion editor, the ease is applied to the entire tween (so it affects the stationary frames too!). Is there a way to apply an ease to a single span of motion instead of the entire motion tween?Alternatively (if it's not possible), is there an easy workflow for breaking-up a motion tween in to separate motion tweens while maintaining the position of the object in between the motion tweens? (I don't want to use the frame-by-frame animation conversion option I've seen.)

Using AS3 I am dynamically creating, sizing, positioning and formatting a textfield. I am dynamically setting the content of the textfield from the contents of an xml file. I am trying to use the bold tag and noticed that it is not working. After a bit of searching the best I could come up with is "Flash CS4 tag in with htmlText". Bottom line: I have to embed an emboldened fontface.
As an example, let's say I want to use Tahoma. In my .fla file (using Flash CS4) I embed Tahoma and export it for use in actionscript. This lets me use Tahoma as a font in my textfield. If I try to use the b tag (textfield.htmlText="not bold, <b>bold</b>";) the bold text does not get emboldened. Based on the above question I have now embedded the Bold version of Tahoma as well.
How do I link the bold version of Tahoma with the regular version of Tahoma so that when using the bold tag I get bold text in my textfield?
I am using action script 3 and need to know how to apply more than 1 action to a frame label, ie; I have 5 pages of images and have actions coded as follows:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,play1);
function play1(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("1Lrg");
[Code]....
code continues like this for all the buttons (84 thumbnail images), so they will open a larger image when clicked. So what I now need to do is connect the side navigation buttons to go to the relevant page (frame) when clicked...the problem I'm having is that it is causing duplications in the code ie; I now have, for instance thumbnail (btn4) calling frame 4, but I also need a side navigation button to call this frame.

I have a sprite called MaskSprite, and another sprite called PhotoSprite, with this relationship:
PhotoSprite.mask = MaskSprite;
Now MaskSprite contains a bunch of sprites as children...basically, what I have is a bunch of rectangles spaced apart, so that only strips of PhotoSprite are revealed. This works fine. But I want to blur each of these individual child sprites...but the revealed parts of PhotoSprite aren't blurred in any way. Isn't it as simple as:
Code:
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++){
var s = new Sprite();
MaskSprite.addChild(s);
s.graphics.drawRect(etc etc etc);
s.filters = [new BlurFilter(10,10,1)];
Is there a way in AS3 to apply a class to an instance on the stage? Or is the only way to do it through the linkage menu in the library? The reason I ask is, I have a button class that I'd like to apply to only the button instances on the stage that meet certain criteria
