I'm a very competent PHP/AS coder, but I can't seem to find a way to solve this problem. Can it be done? Possible ways I've theorised (but not been able to put into practice yet):
1) Loading AS script from external text file, much like loading CSS, or JS in HTML.
2) Writing AS to a movieclip as it is created on the fly.
Here i am looking to apply the texture to the Text and Movie Clip dynamically.
View 2 RepliesApplying tint to movieclip is just changing the color transformation of movieclip.
The easiest way is the Color class of fl.motion package.Just make the object of Color class, call setTint function and assign the object to movieClip.transfrom.colorTransform just find the attachment and do yourself. Cheers

I asked some flashers to take a look at my problem, but they did not know what happed or why it happend.If you apply a color to a movieclip within a timeline, you also destroy the animation so it seems.I enclosed the fla file for test purpuse. But what i am doing is:I have a main clip called animation and in this clip the playhead goes from frame 1 to 30Inside this animationclip i have a square called myclip that also does some animation.But when you apply a color to this square and you run the animationclip, you will notice thatthe square does not animate anymore. But the playhead still runs, so that is weird isn't itDoes anyone know the answer to this bug ?
The code i used is:
function applyColor(mc:MovieClip, col:Number) {
var tempColor:Color = new Color(mc);

I have the following code on frame1 of my movie that I want to apply to multiple instances of the same movie clip:
mainClip_mc.subClip1_mc.specifiedClip_mc.onPress = function () {
//code begins
SpecifiedClip_mc exists in subClip1 through 4. Is there a way to do this once without having to say:
mainClip_mc.subClip2_mc.specifiedClip_mc.onPress = function () {
//same code
mainClip_mc.subClip3_mc.specifiedClip_mc.onPress = function () {
//same code
mainClip_mc.subClip4_mc.specifiedClip_mc.onPress = function () {
//same code
Essentially, specifiedClip_mc's parent clip is what's throwing me here. The code to be applied to specifiedClip_mc is identical and I'm not going the correct route by doing this the long repetitive way.
How do I apply EventListener function to all objects of a MovieClip from the main Timeline?I have ball_1, ball_2.. ball_10 objects of movieClip Ball of class Ball. Is there any way I can add EventListener to all of them in a single line? Will there be a increase in performance?I have tried EventListener from inside the MovieClip , but for my purpose I need to use it from Main timeLine? or is it possible with Classes?

View 3 RepliesI have 3 movie clips (MC's) on the stage. The instance names of these objects are in an array:
var navItems:Array = new Array("nav1_mc", "nav2_mc",
"nav3_mc");
I want to loop thru these movie clips and modify them with the following:
for each (var item:String in navItems) {
item.anyMethod = asdf;
}
If I trace item at this point, I get the correct string name that matches the MC, but it won't let me do this kind of operation at compile time. It throws a "1061: Call to a possibly unidentified method ..."
How to get at a MovieClip using only a string of its name at runtime?
As the title suggests i want to apply physics (gravity mainly) to a line drawn with the curser using the createEmptyMovieClip method.Below is the code in the main frame (sorry its a bit long), what I'm trying to do is make something like crayon physics (i know it will be difficult).So far i can draw lines and make certain objects ( a ball for example) be affected by gravity, but when I try to make the drawn lines be affected by gravity it stuffs up.he first line drawn is produced in the wrong position, (it should be at mouse point but isn't) and you can't draw any subsequent lines. This problem doesnt exist when i remove the gravityBasically what i want is that each line that is drawn can have actions assigned to it... (so i can add gravity and unique properties for different line types)
//force settings
//Drawing tools

I have a MovieClip that consists of multiple layers, one of those layers is an animated background Shape. let's call this MyMovieClip with the background shape have the instance name "mcBackground";
I'm adding the MovieClip to the stage from ActionScript by:
var myMovieClip = new MyMovieClip();
addChild(myMovieClip);
This works fine and when the movie clip is added to the stage it plays as expected (background is moving).
The problem is when I try to apply a colorTransform to the background shape, it stops from moving. what I'm doing is this inside the MyMovieClip class:

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

I'm importing XML text and sticking it in a text field. The text has some <span> tags with classes. Also importing a CSS file (verifying that it is importing correctly - at least when I trace it it says [object StyleSheet] - can I trace styles within a stylesheet? Or do an "exploded" trace that shows me everything in the stylesheet?)
