ActionScript 2.0 :: Gradient Mask In External SWF?
Dec 12, 2008
so I have the gradient mask set up going on in a external swf called "rates". In the main timeline of the main swf "cwsite" I load "rates" into a empty movie clip entitled "windowloader". Unfortunalty when I preview the whole site, everything loads but the gradient mask isnt working. If I just preview the rates swf, the mask works.This is flash player 9 with AS2. Here is my gradient mask code in the rates swf:
Code:
_mask.cacheAsBitmap = true;
main.cacheAsBitmap = true;
[code]......

Is there a way to create a gradient mask in Flash Pro CS5? I am able to get it to work in FPCS4 but apparantly the process was changed or the functionality eliminated in CS5.

In a project, I've got 2 background (one light and one dark). My main background is the dark one and when I move my mouse I wanna show in a small circle with an alpha gradient the light one.
But I don't know how can I do that...
I try and I've got white mask with the light background in my circle or I've just got the dark background and no mask.
If someone already do that and can explain it to me ?

why do my gradient color doesn't work as mask?
I thought I can use the gradient color to assign a different opacity level to my mask. isn't correct ?
It just works as a normal mask...

I have created a Sprite that contains 3 movieclips that act as masks for another movieclip. 2 of the moviclips have an alpha gradient but I cannot get the alpha to work. I have the three masks because they are separately animated.Here is my code.
var maskContainer = new Sprite();
maskContainer.addChild(WebPageMaskEndT_mc);
maskContainer.addChild(WebPageMaskEndB_mc);[code]....
NOTE: I have also tried setting cacheAsBitmap for the 3 individual masks but no results.

I have a transparent png bubble in movie clips that are being randomly sized and animation started using code. The design has a reflection and I am using a gradient mask for the effect. The issue is when the bubbles animate they are causing drawing artifacts. Please see the attached screen shot or you can see the swf here - Code: bottomMask.cacheAsBitmap = true;beaker_bottom.cacheAsBitmap = true;beaker_bottom.mask = bottomMask;

Has there been an update this weekend thats broke masking I have tried to gradient mask an object both by using a vector mask and a png mask. NONE OF THEM WORK! Last week it woeked - and nooene else here at my job can get it to work either.Gradient masks are just shows by a square. No way of of getting smooth edges (gradients on a masked object anymore).

I want to apply a gradient mask to a movieclip that contains a flv video. I'm aware that i would need to cache the movieclip as a bitmap in order to apply a mask using actionscript, but would that work even if the movieclip itself contains an flv video?

Layer 1: Linear gradient with transparency on each side.
Layer 2: Graphic symbol of an animation that runs across the entire screen.
The edges of the gradient should mask the animation on either side so it looks like it's fading in from one side while fading out on the other.Is it possible, using just the timeline, to achieve this effect? It's been awhile since I've done timeline animations but I know I've done this before I just can't, for the life of me, figure out the magic combination.I've tried changing the gradient from graphic to movieclip, I've adjusted blend mode, and bitmap caching, yet each time I run the animation the gradient is ignored completely.I read that using masks for gradients are ignored so I changing the layer back to it's original and specify the symbol as movieclip with blend alpha did nothing as well...

my first time trying to draw a multi-color gradient in actionscript 3. So I got this code from the help docs, but I can't seem to get a vertical gradient, whatever formula or number I use for rotate, it stays stuck on the default horizontal gradient :(

I'm trying to create spinning rays in actionscript to use in my website.Below is the rough idea of what i'm trying to create.Is it possible to create absolutely with 0 images.Following is the actionscript code in which i couldn't figure out how to add gradient, transperant background and little radial gradient to create glow effect.
Code:
function CreateRays():Shape {
var ray:Shape = new Shape();
ray.graphics.beginFill(0xFF9900,.5);
ray.graphics.lineStyle(1,0xFF9900,.5);
[code]....
If you paste above code in 1st frame of your scene with nothing on your scene, it will give you sweet rotating rays!

I have several pngs I need to load as masks. The user will be making different selections that requires these to be external images. I've managed to get the png working as a mask just fine when I physically place it on the timeline and assign cacheAsBitmap=true to both it and the mc to be masked. But when I try to load the png using loadMovie... it no longer behaves as a mask...

i've a problem with the datagrid component. i have a main swf with a mask. this main.swf loads the sub.swf into the mask. when my sub.swf has a datagrid object in it, it shows me the component, but the content is empty! and i can also trace the content. so the datagrid isn't the problem. the sub.swf runs perfectly in standalone mode ... but not if i load it into a mask!

I have 6 frame labels on my stage and on each one I have a mask animation, it's the same animation but on each frame label loads a different image, basicaly the image just fade's into the mask. I was hoping to try and do this with actionscript, just not sure how. Would also like to load the images externally too if possible.

I am using external .SWF movie on stage by using the following code. I want to mask some of the portion of this movie. How can I mask an external movie?
Code:

I have entered the code on on Layer2 and created a MASK (Circle shape) on Layer1 and selected the MASK option by right clicking on Layer1. But It did not work.

I have a startDrag function set up on a loader and mask that when the mouse is down on the loader it drags, when not it doesn't. There is also 2 buttons that control whether mask1 or mask2 is used. What i would like however is when the mouse is down - the area of the loader outside of the mask is visible but only by about 10/20% alpha, that way the user can see where all the image is while dragging. Is this possible? Full code can be seen below and i have attached the zip with the .fla file:

what i am doing is to make something along the lines of the "scriptable mask" tutorial Inigo was kind enough to put up.My idea is to have a large mask behind the whole of my flash site, this masks a colour image with a black & white one (nothing tricky). The image I am using is actually 5 separate images combined, and each is a pic of certain parts of the site.I also have a very basic set of buttons along the bottom... each corresponding to each section.
All I want is to set it up so that when I mouse over the buttons, the _x of the mask moves to correspond with the correct image... really very basic... or so I thought .If anything it should be easier to do than what is in Inigo's tut (where he uses the _x of the mouse to move the mask)... i just cant seem to get it to work with a nice easing effect (its easy to get the mask to simply snap to each coordinate, but I need it to smoothly move).

maybe point me towards a better way to mask. png file is way too big. I have been using the mask layer option to create my own mask around a jpg image by drawing around it on the mask layer. There has to be a fetter and faster way to do this. Is it possible to maybe have a specific color range have an alpha value of 0. Similar to green screening whereas If I put the item I want to clip on a green background flash will auto take out the green for me. and by auto I mean action script maybe. I think this can be done but im not finding it.
how are these guys clipping these images [URL] they have the movie clips set up where the black background on the 3 layers of shoes is getting masked out. When I go into the shoe movie clips I see there is a black background but it just disappears when I go back to main timeline.

ive gotten one movie clip to mask another in the actions frame but i cant seem to be able to mask the flames which are a shape with a movieclip in this as file. im not getting any errors but the mask isnt covering anything look near the bottom at s.mask=mask_mc; there are about 20 "s" shapes spawning per second if that has anything to do with it
Code:
//this package turns an mc into a flaming button that calls a javascript function

When I create a gradient and fill with it, sometimes the gradient transform tool works perfectly. Other times, I click on the gradient fill with the gradient transform tool and the gradient is selected as if I clicked it with the "Selection Tool."I can't get the gradient transform tool to give me any handles to adjust the gradient once applied.
