ActionScript 2.0 :: Applying SetMask To One Level But Not Other Ones Below?
Dec 1, 2004
I am using the following code to generate a television unit that will load in various SWF files and obviously, I want to mask the viewing area of the television ONLY. The SWF is loaded on level 4, while the panel and buttons appear on lower levels. Problem is when I attach a mask from the library to the movieclip containing the SWF, nothing happens.
Here is my code...whats wrong with my final section (MASK)?
//create empty movieclips to hold contents:
//***** DYNAMIC PANEL - Level 1 *****
myExpanded = this.createEmptyMovieClip("expandedContainer", 1);
expandedContainer.attachMovie("expandedPanel", "expanded_mc", 1)
[code]....

I have two layers in my FLA both with empty movie clips as follows:In mc_Empty1, I attach a faded background movieclip as I wait for mc_Empty2 to load a SWF. Once the SWF is loaded into mc_Empty2, I want to remove the faded background movieclip from mc_Empty1. When I load the SWF from the main timeline, the onLoad() function works and removes the faded background from mc_Empty1. However, when I load the SWF from mc_target, the SWF loads, but the onLoad() function does not. Here's my AS2 code:
//Loading SWF from main timeline
mc_Empty1.attachMovie("mcFadedBg", "mc_FadedBg", 1);
mc_Empty2.loadMovie("My.swf");mc_Empty2.onLoad = function():Void{ trace("loaded"); //This works removeMovieClip(mc_Empty1.mc_FadedBg); //This works}
[code]....
I know I'm targeting properly because the SWF loads as it should, but the onLoad() function does not.

This is making me a little kooky today. I thought I could defined a library path in PREFERENCES > ACTIONSCRIPT > ACTIONSCRIPT 3.0 SETTINGS then that library would be available to all AS3 FLA files, but that doesn't seem to work for me. If I use the PUBLISH SETTINGS and define the library path everything is fine.
Is there something that I could have done to disable the application level class path functionality? I guess I'm trying avoid having to set the library path for every new FLA I'm making.

I'm doing a bigger aplication in flash (as2).Image, there is a main "home" flash with several menu buttons.Clicking these buttons, I load external swf into an empty container in this "home" flash.[code]clicking buttons in this second level, will load external movies into an empty container in this SECOND LEVEL swf.This works fine, but now, coming to the THIRD LEVEL (don't think there will be more in the future) problems come up, some scripts won't work.Now (I'm a as2-beginner) I think, loading external swf ALLWAYS into containers in the first "Home" flash should solve the problem.But I don't know, how to load an swf from the third level into a container in the first "home" level.In the "home" level, I have a "close" button, that will unload the container content.I need to go to a certain scene "content_2" in the home swf, too.

I have called main.swf into a container in index.swf.
myMCL.loadClip("main.swf","container"); is an action on my Index.fla timeline.
I have my navigation on index. (i wanted it to go on main, but the nature of the animation meant it had to go on index)
I need to call "home.swf" into "main.swf" from the navigation button in Index.swf.
When I had the navigation on "main.swf" this was my code to call "home.swf" into the page.
on (release) {
Preloader_mc.gotoAndStop("home");
}
("home") is the label name where the preloader is for home.swf
how to call the preloader for home into main.swf from "INDEX.SWF INSTEAD OF MAIN.SWF"

Is there a way to link to one level below the current level? Instead of saying _root.level1.level2.level3, something like: ../level3 ?

I am using Flash CS3 with ActionScript 2.0. I am trying to load a jpg in and display it in an existing movieClip. I have created a movieClip on the stage with an instance name of maskMovieClip. I then create a new/empty clip within maskMovieClip, and then load the new clip with the jpg and then try to use the setMask to switch them. I did read that it won't work if jpg's have not finished loading, so I put a for/next loop in my example just to make sure the clips are loaded.
Here is my test code:
//How to reproduce problem...
//Create one movie clip on the stage with an instance name of maskMovieClip.
//Create two small jpg pics called pic1.jpg and pic2.jpg.
//This correctly loads and displays a jpg into maskMovieClip
maskMovieClip.loadMovie("pic1.jpg", 1);

I've got a movieclip of a rectangle in my library which I place on stage to attachMovie. Then I create an empty movieclip which I want to use as a mask on that rectangle clip through setMask. Users kan draw into that empty movieclip. My intention is that only those areas of the rectangle clip become visible where the user is drawing a line. So I used this:

I'm working on an AS2 website that uses some alpha gradient masks in its header's looping animation. If I put this animation on the main timeline my masks work perfectly [setMask()], but, because the header needs to be a movieclip, my masks don't work at all.?

Got a movieclip masked by another one with onLoadInit and setMask. Everything works correctly on local but when I use the same swfs hosted on my "server" the mask simply doesn't work, losts its function and shows over the other movieclip as a box.

It doesn't matter whether I tick the cacheAsBitmap property in the properties panel or I set it to true with AS for both the mask and masked mc's. I even tried with both, ticking and AS at the same time, but as long as my masks are inside the header mc, they're not working.

I've tried to be very descriptive on title, cause i have found around loads of "setmask does not work on dynamicly created mcs'. My case quite differs. =x
I've got 2 mcs, one holds an gradient and the other is the loader. The image is loaded using the loadmovieclip class.
First I've tried to set the code in the mc that holds both. Failed. Also tried setting on parents, and onLoadInit. All failed.
Ps: Surelly I've done double testing for each time I've tried. Firstly I would try placin an image inside the loader mc, to be sure the code was working without the load, and only then check with loading.

I have a movie with some dynamic text, which is embedded and has aliasing turned on -- it is crisp. This text field is behind a mask that I created using setMask so the text appears. The problem happens when I publish my movie as player version 6. When I do this, the text looks as if the field was on an odd pixel, for example x = 60.4. But it's not.

I've attached two files that are exactly the same except in Mask_symbol.fla I copied the frames from the _root and put them in a symbol.When you open the files you'll see the mask on the _root gets applied at runtime like it should but once you take the exact same frames and put them inside a symbol it no longer works.

I have a long linear flash presentation with many scenes. Besides web playback my clients asked for a standalone projector file as well. Upon making it full screen with FS command during playback, initial off stage area elements are visible when they animate into the stage on widescreen monitors...for example text moving in from left. I don't want to mask every layer in over thirty something scenes...is there an easier way by applying a mask in actionscript to the movie itself? I know setMask() works for movieclips but is there a way to apply the setMask() method to the entire presentation in AS2 because the following did not seem to work:[code]

Is there anything to opposite of setMask. Actually I want that, when I click a button then a movieclip will be masked by some predefined shape (working as mask object). when I click another button he mask will be gone. That means the object under the mask will go out of the mask.

Situation:
- We have a Flash application located on a SAP EP (let's say ep.x.com)
- We have a SAP ABAP Application (Webservices) on a SAP WebAS
server (abap.x.com)
- Clarification: This is not about Flash islands / but a normal Flash application communicating with WebAS ABAP via WebServices
Problem: Due to the changed security policy in Flash 10 this scenario does no longer work.
- A crossdomain policy file on root level cannot be deployed on root level
- The WebServices http/s headers cannot be modified, since the WebServices are generated by the WebAS IDE.
Comment: Technically there is a way to patch a WebAS ABAP,but this is not a practical / acceptable way in a normal SAP WebAS infrastructure.
Conclusion:- The above scenario (Flash from EP content / WebAS ABAP as backend) is a quite normal scenario in the SAP world.
- SAP / Adobe always features the close relationship between their technologies.
Question:- What could we do?
- How does the Visual Composer works around that problem?
