I am using the following code to change the alpha value of all movieclips except the rolled over one on rollover...
ActionScript Code:
on (rollOver) {
function allAlphaButOne(thisClip:MovieClip, alphaNum:Number) {
for (o in _root) {
[Code]....
But cant seem to replace the alpha in the first script with running this
I want to change a movie clip's tint once a button event occurs, and I can't seem to figure it out. I have looked at Kirupa's color changing tutorial but it does not apply to tinting. I found this through a google search but I'm not entirely sure how to use it.
Code:
//tint an object with a color just like Effect panel b between 0 and 255; amount between 0 and 100
Color.prototype.setTint = function (r, g, b, amount) {
[Code]...
I'm currently working on combining a bunch of movieclips with variating color schemes that I'd like to condense into a unified pallete. Breaking apart a movieclip reverts the graphics to the original colors but it would be super-helpful if flash repasted the current color settings onto the graphics once its broken apart. Maybe implementing a few of illustrators color palette tools would be great too. If this isn't the proper place, then I apologize but I wanted to pass the info along as an artist who is currently using flash as his primary art development tool right now.
View 5 RepliesI have set up an animation that displays icons on agrid. Right now everything is working ok.I have an array of 4movieclips that are randomly selected to display on the screen.Each has a timeline that brings it from alpha 0 - 100. So far, soood.Now I have to add the remaining 200 icons. Now of course Icould make 200 more movieclips and add them all to the array butthere must be a better way, right?I thought I could just have just one movieclip and switch thepic out from an external xml list. But if I import them they won'twork with the alpha transition because they aren't movieclips,right?
View 3 RepliesI have some movieclips on my stage that are there via timeline. I also add movieclips on stage using addChild.
What is the best way of changing the order of the movieclips because they overlap sometimes? eg.
mc_a is on the stage already
mc_b is called on stage using addChild
Can I change the order of mc_a using script even though it was already on stage?
Can I remove mc_a off stage using script?
How do add mc_b under mc_a so that mc_b does not overlap mc_a?
When i roll over the gallery buttons they light up when i roll off they go back to normal.when i click on one of them it stays lit up. My problem is when i click i need to be able to set any button that was clicked back to its original state and i cant for the life of me seem to be able to do that.
View 1 RepliesI have 20 buttons (mc's). I want to be able to select one and have it stay in the down state until another is pressed. Frame 1 is "up" frame 2 is "down". I have an array of the buttons(mc's). This piece of code works but doesn't return the button to the up state when another is selected.
function changeButtonState(a){
var i = 0;
for (i=0;i<=19;i++){
if(a=="S"){_level0.sb[b].gotoAndStop(2);isw = 1;}
}}
The array of buttons is called "sb".
Is there a way to make many movieclips change the same way, off the same line of code.. rather than having to write them all out seperatly?
eg.
If this was the original code...
clip1_mc.onRollOver = function () {
clip2_mc._visible = false;
clip3_mc._visible = false;
[Code]....
The above doesn't work... but i'm wondering if anyone knows of a method that will work... saving me from having to write so much code in future?
Using a for loop I've created a few instances of a movieclip, but I'm having trouble trying to having them appear one after the other at an increasing pace.
For example, I want the first clip to show with a delay around 2 seconds and the last with almost no delay.
So far I've only been able get Timer or setInterval to have a single delay setting.
I'm not coming up with anything other than coding on the timeline which I'm trying to avoid.
I am doing this:
[Embed(source = "../lib/hfront.swf")]
private var charfront1Class : Class;
private var charfront1:MovieClip = new charfront1Class;
in order to create a movieclip object in FlashDevelop. Because there is no option (like in CS5) to give a library object a class inherently.What I need to do is be able to switch which movie clip is being displayed as my character walks about. Do I have to create a separate class for each movieclip and call them in and out of visibility?? Or is there a better way, a way to "switch" which movie clip my current class is pointing to?
how to jump from one frame a movie clip, rot menu, to a frame of another, main, through a button in rot menu, rot menu is a movie clip in symbol 1 which is in another (cant remeber) in main. from frame 1 of main i want the button to be pressed and it takes you frame 2 of main.
View 1 RepliesI'm writing a game with Flash CS5/AS 3.0 that tries to simulate depth of field by drawing all the relevant Movie Clips based on their Y position in ascending order, i.e. things lower on the stage overlap things higher on the stage. A MovieClip with a Y position of 10 would therefore need to have a lower index compared to a MovieClip with a Y position of 20, so the second one gets drawn on top of the first.
I wrote a quick and dirty function just to test this. During the trace, I've noticed that the truck's index hits 0 when I go near the top of the stage, but if I go too far up it will completely disappear from the stage. Trace then starts generating this error:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

I am in the making of a isometric level editor, and I have about 15 movie clips with more to come. I want to let people change the color of tiles to what they want from a list of colors, so how can I let them change the color of a tile dinamicly with actionscript so that it changes a tile's color while preserving changes of "shadows"? I mean I have let's say a cube and to make it look 3D I need to change each face to make a feeling of 3D and not a flat one.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to figure out how to color the tint of a movieclip using as3.Using as2 I would do the following :
var clSymbol:Color = new Color(mcSymbol);
clSymbol.setRGB(0xFF0000);
..and the movieclip mcSymbol would turn red.Very easy using as2 but I dont know how to do the same thing using as3.

I have imported an image into Flash, turned it into a symbol, inserted a frame, then a tween, and can animate the image with tint. It works fine, but the tint is applied to the entire image. What I was hoping to do, is have a sort of 'rolling tint', where the tint starts on the left side of the image, and gradually works it's way over to the right.

View 1 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 need to know if it's possible, and if so, how, to change the tint of an object using actionscript. For instance, if one was to select a specific button, the actionscript in that button would tell the object, in this case the background, to change its tint.
View 2 RepliesThis tutorial was very good: [URL]. But is there a way to do this with tint and just as simply (3 little lines)? Because I just want to change the tint of the movieclip, not turn it into an opaque color.
View 1 RepliesI'm using flash 8 professional with AS 2. I'm trying so set a tint using actionscript on a dynamically created mc using the ColorTransform method. I'm trying to set a 50% black tint, similar to the effect one would get when doing it in the properties panel using the Color setting.
My code so far:
Code:
var colorTrans:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
colorTrans.blueOffset = -127;
colorTrans.redOffset = -127;
colorTrans.greenOffset = -127;
This is applied elsewhere in my project and is working fine. My problem is that this is pushing up the saturation of the mc's, thus all orange colors appear red etc.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to have a code-based solution to tint a movieclip.I KNOW there is the way to tint it using colortransform, problemis, ist not the same effect as if I would 100% tint a clip in flash. Meaning I want the effect that, if I 100% tint it, only a monochrome silhouette is left of the clip.
View 0 RepliesI have a menu that I want to add some actions on so that when the mouse rolls over each button symbol, a large clip that takes up all of the background changes colour. I could do that with a simple rollover this. but that changes the colour in one sudden stroke while what I'm looking for is a gradual pass from tint A to tint B. As an example, If button A is yellow and button B is blue, it should show the pass from green as I switch from button to button.
