ActionScript 2.0 :: Controlling Brightness Of Movieclip?

May 1, 2007

I have Flash 8 set to Actionscript 1.0.

On the main timeline I have a graphic of a hill and tree that darkens when clicking a button. I also have a movieclip called "creature" that has a little creature walking from one end of the stage across to the other. I need a script that will control the brightness of the "creature" movieclip at the point where the main timeline animation goes dark because the "creature" movieclip sticks out like a sore thumb at that point and needs to be darkened.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Get Average Brightness Of A JPG Movieclip?

Feb 22, 2011

I was working on a project a few months ago, which I had to put on hold but am finally getting back to. One major feature I need that I wasn't able to figure out before was how to measure the average brightness of an image file loaded as a movieclip. I remember spending hours going through tutorials but I wasn't able to get it working. Now I don't even remember what or where I read before and I'm not keen on rereading all of it and still not knowing what to do.

I just want the simplest possible way to get an average brightness level of an image, I don't care which way the brightness is measured as it is only important relative to other images which will be measured the same way.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Controlling External Movieclip Using An Empty Movieclip?

Nov 11, 2004

I am loading an external swf into an empty movie clip by use of a button.The movieclip is a sort of menu that begins with an animation of the menu opening, there are multiple different movieclips I am using with this format.What I am trying to accomplish is this.When another button is pressed, I want the movieclip (regardless of which one is loaded) to either:Go to a specific frame and play a closing animation within the movieclip, BEFORE a new movieclip is loaded. OR reverse the animation BEFORE loading new movieclip.Since there are 4 or 5 buttons all loading different clips, I need all the buttons to work this way regardless of which movieclip is loaded.

I have buttons that load movie clips when you mouse over them and unload the movie clips when you mouse out.[code]the problem is that the movie clips aren't necessarily playing from the beginning when you mouse over, since their timeline is independent.How can i specify that I want to add the instance of the movie clip to play from frame 1.I've tried using the gotoAndPlay method with the frame number/ label in parenthesis afterwards and got an error message..I've looked through multiple tutorials on controlling symbols using AS, and i still can't get this to 'click' for me.[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Controlling MovieClip Of Map - New Rectangle As Var

Aug 5, 2011

I am using start drag to control an mc of a map which all works fine, this MC can be zoomed using a slider which also works fine. I have defined a bounding box in the usual way.
map_mc.startDrag (false, new Rectangle(0,0,500,500));
But when map_mc is zoomed in its size go beyond the bounding box's limit and obviously reacts unpredictably. I would like to put the rectangle size in a var which I can then scale with the map so that the mc is never bigger than the bounding box.
Code:
Select allvar rectangle;
number = (0,0,1000,1000)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Controlling Sound From Within A Movieclip

Sep 4, 2005

I am having trouble controlling sound instance on the main timeline from with a movieclip.

On the main timeline contains the following code:
root.createEmptyMovieClip("beat_mc", 100);
beat = new Sound("beat_mc");

[Code]....

The main timeline will render the sound at the volume 10 value. However, I anticipated the volume to be set at a 100 from the Jukebox's controller.

It would seem logical that the jukebox code should respond to the instance "beat", but it doesn't.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Controlling Timeline Of Parent Movieclip?

Jan 14, 2009

I've just swiched over from FL8 to FL CS4 (3 days ago). I'm learning AS3 at the moment but am on a deadline with a project (a bit over it actualy) which uses AS3

I have a movieclip (container_mc) on the main timeline which holds all the animation and a timer (timer1_mc).When container_mc reaches frame 2 it stops and a timer (timer1_mc) starts running.When the timer finishes, container_mc should continue to the next frame.The code I have to do that (from the timer1_mc) is:

if (d> 260) {
parent.container_mc.nextFrame();
trace("blabla");[code]....

This doesn't work, it gives me the error 1119: Access of possibly undefined property container_mc through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObjectContainer.

Controlling Vanishing Points For Each MovieClip Separately?

Jul 20, 2009

I'm using the new 3D tool in flash to let pictures rotate around there center. To not let it look distorted I will have to adjust the vanishing points for these images separately, however I can't find an option to control them separately. The seem linked for all my 3D movieclips. This will result in having only 1 moviclip animated right. So the question is: how do I control the vanishing points for each movieclip separately?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Controlling Nested MovieClip With Unknown Name

Jul 16, 2009

I have 3 navigation buttons and an empty movie clip on the stage. Clicking each button loads a 'page' into the empty clip, and each 'page' is a movie clip in the library. When the movie initially loads, the 'home' page movie clip automatically loads into the empty clip on the stage and plays to a frame half-way through. When a navigation button is clicked I want to finish playing the loaded movie clip, remove it, load the new 'page' into the empty clip, and play it (also to the half-way point). I have been able to accomplish everything except getting the name of the loaded 'page' clip and making it play to the end. This is what I have in frame 1 of the main timeline with the code for 1 button:

var homeMovieClip:MovieClip = new homeScene();
emptyMC.addChild(homeMovieClip);
gotoAndPlay(2);
bioButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bioClickHandler);
function bioClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{

ActionScript 3.0 :: FrameLabel Controlling MovieClip In A Variable?

Oct 28, 2009

I have four buttons currently set up to do all sorts of stuff in a flash file. What I'd like to do is have them all point to the currently displayed movie clip on my main timeline.

At the moment they're set up to test the addChild and removeChild functionality I've written and it seems ok. I would like to trigger removeChild and addChild by the last frame in a movie clip and have my buttons send a play command to my movie clip. That way the clip plays to the end before removing itself and adding a new movie clip.

The movie clip that I would like to trigger the addChild and removeChild functions is actually one of four movie clips so I need to declare play(); and send it to the current movie clip regardless of which one is on the stage. I was thinking about declaring a variable to contain my movie clip so that I can just say play(awesomeMovieClipVariable); and awesomeMovieClipVariable will be equal to the currently loaded movie Clip. I can't figure out how to declare a variable and send my movieClip in to the variable.

if(sceneTracer = 2);
variableName = mc_copy1
if(sceneTracer = 3);
variableName = mc_copy2

[Code]....

I have added frame labels to the final frame of each instance of mc_copy1 mc_copy2 and mc_copy3 to allow a conditional statement something like... if (current frame of that movie clip = frame label) but I don't know how to set that up...

ActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX]Controlling X Positions From One Movieclip With 4 Buttons

Apr 26, 2004

I have a text movieclip (service_mc) on the stage for which I need to control 4 different _xpositions (_x = 0, _x = -700, _x = -1400, x = -2100) with 4 button mc's (btn_one, btn_two, btn_three, btn_four).

For these four buttons I already declared the Over, Out, Release and Restore stage in a function:

Code]...

What I like to accomplish is to control the _x positions of "service_mc" with the same buttons. I mean when btn_one is pressed service_mc should go to _x = 0, when btn_two is pressed the _x position from service_mc should change to _x = -700 etc, etc

How to integrate this possibility in the existing function?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Controlling MovieClip On Root Timeline?

Aug 19, 2008

My stage is empty except for an MC with a simple animation and an AS 2 layer. There is not a button or user interaction that engages the MC. I want the MC to play when the timeline reaches the frame with the AS. My MC has an instance name of 'blueMC' and here's the AS I've tried:

blueMC.play();
_root.blueMC.gotoAndPlay("2");
on(load){
blueMC.play();
} onClipEvent(load) {
blueMC.gotoAndPlay("2");
}
Shouldn't it just be this?:
MCinstanceNmae.gotoAndPlay("Frame# or label");

ActionScript 2.0 :: Controlling A Movieclip's Internal Timeline W/ X+y?

May 21, 2010

Im really struggling with controlling a movieclip (frame-by-frame images w/ stop(); actions) by using the mouses horizontal position on the main stage. So basically I want to turn my stage into a showreel of images. Lets say the stage is 50 pixels; i would want some kind of code that would divide up the total length of my m/cs timeline, in order to show the first frame of the m/c when the y-axis is at 0, the last keyframe of the m/c when the y-axis = 500.

I have tried to use rollover commands on (miniscule) hit states covering the entire stage, but there must be a better way ( i plan on updating the images m/c a lot) ie. a lovely big chunk of confusing code?
