How to make this smoke effect work without mouse input. I am trying to have it spill from the end of a cannon, & my attempts to modify the position have resulted in all my bitmaps shifting. I changed this
doTrail(_root, _xmouse, _ymouse, currentBitmap);
To this
doTrail(_root, _x=80, _y=100, currentBitmap);
[Code] .....
I've used .x = and .y = with the position I want and the pane continues to show up in the top left corner instead. What am I doing wrong?

how should i code the placement of all the money?
i would go:
_root.attachMovie(
_root.attachMovie(
_root.attachMovie(
but that's not the good solution is it?
there must be a code to do that without hundreds of lines of code.
I know how to place a fullscreen bitmap background using the BitmapData class but i have yet to find a tutorial about how to place a fullscreen flash animation in the background while keeping the aspect ratio.I've looked around the web to find a tutorial about this but i did not find anything except a few threads with no responses.
View 1 RepliesI want the navigation_mc to be in a specific place. How can i do that with actionscript? How can i place the mc? This is the code i used so far.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("navigation_mc", 10);
loadMovie("navigation.swf", navigation_mc);
I've come accross loadMovieNum and loadMovie, I can use them to have the swf load up in to the top left hand corner but I can't seem to find out how to script it to the area I want it to load to.

View 1 RepliesI am currently working on a platformer, and I have a bunch of different tiles I use to form my maps with. These tiles are very different in the looks, and placed besides eachother, they give a very sharp change, which is not very visually appealing. I've been trying to fix this in the following way:
I have four layers, two for each block I'm fading. The first layer is where the actual tile, the graphic, is located. The second layer is the mask. In the mask layer, I have a gradient, which is the exact opposite of the other tiles mask layer (Mask layer 1 goes down, mask layer 2 goes up). However, I need to be able to alter those dynamically, place new gradients in the appropriate mask layer, and new tiles in the appropriate graphics layer.
I've been googling around for the last hour or so, attempting to find a way to define which layer a new MovieClip is placed on, but all I've found is setChildIndex, which, since one layer acts as a mask, I can't use. Is there any such function in Actionscript, or am I to make all combinations of tiles by hand?
I used below scripts for drawing on stage. but I want draw on specific place of stage not all of them.How can I define that zone ?

View 2 RepliesI'm aware of the .click() method but the click must be on a prezi loaded (flash) so don't really have a html element to use.
What I have instead are the exactly coordinates of the place I want to simulate click on. Is there any way I can do that?
The click must activate a flash element. (A play button)
Note: There is a similar question around that have an answer witch require swf control. I don't have that so that method is not applicable.
One other quick question... what happens if I simulate a click on an element that has display: none. It click on the elements "under" it? (as a normal click would do; and yes I know this sounds funny but I don't know how to explain it otherwise). If yes I was thinking of making a position absolute div, put it on top of flash and use .click(). The problem is that i have a feeling that the click won't be applied on flash.
This is somehow a combination of javascript simulate mouse click on specific position and mouse click somewhere else on page (not on a specific div).
I want to have a centralized place where I put text and when you click on any one of the animated movies it displays the specific text.

I have an object that moves around, and once it is pressed, I want it to move to a specific place and then continue to the next frame in the movie clip. This is what I have : a movie clip, the first frame has the stop(); command and contains approx 12 frames. The MC has this script attached to it :
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(_x >= 0){
_x = _x - 10
}if(_y >= 0){
_y = _y -10
}if(_x == 0 && _y == 0){
gotoAndPlay("/ball",2) // ball being the instance name of the mc
}}
The first two parts do move the object to where I want it but the third part will not work and I cant get it to move past frame 1. (Note : 0,0 is not the place I want it to move to, it is there because I was experimenting with the code and this was an easy place to assign to the movement).
i am creating a very simple particle system. My only issue is trying to create a blurry trail effect on the particles in motion. I started by creating a large bitmap container, and applying a colormatrix filter and a blur filter . It seems to do the trick , but the issue now, is i have to make this container cover the stage, which has a two unwanted a effects:
-it's slower
-it covers all the content beneath. Perhaps my approach to creating trails is wrong?
i can post the whole class, but before i litter this post with long lines of code, is there a way to place a bitmapdata drawing over content and still get the desired effect. NOTE, if make transparency false in the bmdata, i loose the effect

I'm trying to create a smoke effect that will run in background of a microsite portal. I needs to be pretty big compared to the use we see everywhere of particle smoke effects usign PNG or flash 8 filters.Here's what I came with so far playing with some flash 8 filters but the solution still doesn't perform well enough, especially when we add the other div layers over the animation. I car emore about style that realism, that's why I like this approach, witch let me used a prerendered image for my smoke textureAnyone have some techniques or approach to suggest that could make this project possible? The way it is right now, almost no computer will be able to run it at a decent framerate.
