How can I create a button to control the width of a certain picture by just sliding the button on a scale in Flash 8? (I've found the actionscript for the button in a sample file in Flash MX. It looks like this:
onClipEvent (load) {
initx = _x;
left = _x-50;
[code].....
What do I use to blur a sliding picture? I want it to blur gradually as the motion of the picture increases. I have BlurFilter on right now, within the btn function that evokes the picture motion, but it obviously just immediately blurs the picture upon btn activation and doesn't do it gradually. I understand that filters can not be tween'd with tween (except tween lite but I am not sure that is how I should do this).URL...
View 8 RepliesI am looking for a way to create a sliding scale, not unlike a horizontal scrollbar that changes the background colour of a page as it moves left or right. Whats the best graphics software for this?

when I compile, flash draws only half of the width of my picture, can any 1 tell me why? my fla file is bigger than 500KB so I can't attach ;(
I wanna make a border around my picture gallery and I am loading throw thing function. I wanna know the pictures scaled size is there a way for that ?
Code:
Select allPictLoader2.scaleContent=true;
var fl_Picture__2:URLRequest = new URLRequest(FolderName+"/img"+Broj2+".jpg");
PictLoader2.load(fl_Picture__2);
The idea is to make a flash object that takes data (text and images) from a mysql database and displays them. I know AS 3.0 can't talk directly to mysql but a php script will do fine. the only problem i have is that the flash file must be variable in length.I mean that if someone wants to add some more text or a picture that it can be done without changing the flv istelf.
So the flv knows what to do with a picture, or text and works in blocks, as example: each block is 20 seconds and the first block is a picture, the second is some text, ... later i want to add/remove a block.
Pretty much said it in the title. I have drawn a cartoon in flash (cs4) and because of zooming in and out my lines are different widths (thicknesses?)
Is there any way I can select the entire image (just lines) and somehow "uniform" them?

i am trying to make this xml gallery that dynamically resizes according to the picture's width & height. the function resizer() is hardcoded with fix values. i have tried to assign it from the array like below but it works wierd, the border just keep increasing in size.
Code:
menuHolder["but"+i].onRelease = function() {
imageLoader.loadClip(this.path,gallery.imageHolder);
gallery.imageBorder.tween("_width",this.width,1,"easeOutExpo");

I want to use flash slideshow for my site to make pictures change automatically after a few seconds and the possibility for the user to change it manually. I don't know about flash so much and the only thing I was able to do is changing the pictures manually by buttons..
View 1 RepliesI am creating a nav in flex that pulls in buttons dynamically from xml. THe problem i am having is setting the button width to the text width. currently the buttons are all the same width and if the text is larger then it just cuts off. I've tried a few ways of doing this:Setting button width to 100%On creation of the button try to set the width of the button to the text programmatically. Something like evt.target.width = evt.target.textWidth;
View 1 RepliesI want to make a picture gallery and use buttons that move you from picture to picture and backwards, but I don't want to tell button 1 to go to frame 2 and button 2 to got to frame 3 and so on (I hope you know what I mean)Can I use on button on a separate layer with the same action set? I tried something like that, but it didn't work:
on (release) {
thisframe =+1
}
[code]........
but it didn't work. I'm kind of new to any action script other than gotAndPlay, easy functions and all that.
Is there any possibility to change screen width and height not in Flash ( in Properties ), but in Code [ any AS3 line? ].
View 1 RepliesI'm working with a rectangle I used code to generate
hpBar.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
hpBar.graphics.drawRect(40, 40, 90, 22);
hpBar.graphics.endFill();
addChild(hpBar);
The rectangle itself works fine without any problems, but when I try to change the width of the rectangle, it's x value decreases slightly, but I'm not sure why it does this. (90 is the original width, hpPerc is another value that will for my uses always be between 0 and 1).
hpBar.width = 90* hpPerc;
Unfortunately, as I stated, changing this shape's width seems to change the x value as well, which really doesn't work at all.
How is it possible to change the width and height of the cells in a List Component in AS3? I've tried experimenting with the cells and different methods but none seem to work.For example, let's say I want to make each list button cell very narrow.
View 1 RepliesI am working on this website and I decided to add some flash to the front page in the form of a little image gallery with a nifty slide effect. The problem is this. For some reason its squishing my images. When you look in the scripting you will see that I've set the image width to the full width of the stage, but when you test the movie they are getting squished to about 3/4th's the width of the stage (ive double checked the image size as well).
View 5 RepliesI have created a line (on the stage) where the height is 10px and the width is 2px. To resize it, I have converted it into a symbol (MovieClip) and given it an instance (let's say li ).
However, when I enter...li.height = 200; or resize the MovieClip with the mouse, the line is 200px tall, but it has also grown considerably thicker! However, if I go into the MovieClip, click on the Drawing and resize it there, I the line stays nice and thin.
I want to change the height and width of an object (specifically doubling it) after an interval of 2 seconds until the height and width of the object reach over 100. I've made two different scripts to try to make this possible.

I have a movieclip that has a 1px wide line by 10px high. Im trying to resize that line with tweenlite, however when i change the height it makes it wider too... How can i do this and keep the line 1px?
View 2 RepliesI have a movieclip 'cursor' with in it two rectangles. One of them is dark and one is light, so the cursor is blinking. Now, when I want to change the width of this cursor to 150 (where it was 30 before), I do:
Code:
cursor.width = 150;
This not only changes the width of this movieclip, but also the weigth of the (whole) stroke of the two recangles. How can I prevent this strokechange from happening?
Here is some code I have.

_buttonUnderline = new Sprite();

When the Tween takes place though it not only changes the width, it changes the height as if it were scaling it up in both directions. Why does this behavior take place? And how can I get it so that only the width changes? I have also tried using scaleX as the property but it does the same thing.
how can I change the height and width of stage dynamically. I tried it with the following code:
Stage.height = 250;
Stage.width = 250;
during the run time. Initially the Stage is at a height and width of 370 and 450 respectively. Also when I tried to trace the height and width of Stage after resizing the stage width and height, its showing the old value of width and height. That means the width and height not chnaging.
I am trying to change the width and height of instances of a symbol programmatically. Basically, the symbol contains a few colored rectangles, a bitmap, and some text. I want to change the height and width of each instance of the symbol based on how low the text string is that is in the instance's text field, but the bitmap's size should always stay the same, 24x24 pixels.[code]The problem is that using this code seems to scale everything up, including the bitmap. I have tried to programmatically add the 24x24 pixel bitmap to the symbol programmatically after I changed the height, but it still seems to be scaled..
View 1 RepliesI thought I had a handle on AS3, DisplayObjectContainers, etc. but this basic thing is really confusing me: changing the width/height of a sprite does not affect it's visual contents - either graphics drawn within it or any children it may have.[code]...

View 1 RepliesI develop some components where I use movie clips as skin. In the scene I have 2 movie clips with width 200px and height 100px, one of them I change the width to 200px and height to 100px, well, it should remain the size as nothing happens but it doesn't. The movie clip that I change the size through as3 it's actually getting smaller, and more strange, it only happens when the movie clip has an Outline. The file is attached. It's Flash CS4.
View 2 RepliesI can drag a checkbox to the stage and change the width in the property inspector and it works fine. If I target the width when attaching it dynamically, the whole box and label get skewed.
View 0 RepliesI searched the forums, but couldn't really find anything that matched my specific needs. I have a movie clip symbol that is your character, I also have a movie clip symbol that is named fuel and it represents the fuel you have left. I tried this in your character:
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
yspeed -= ypower;
fuel._width -= 50;
}
as a little bit of code. fuel._width -= 50; is what I'm really interested in. yspeed-= ypower; is just my movement, which works. So why doesn't my fuel width change?
