ActionScript 2.0 :: Grassy Field Tut - Masking The Layer Doesn't Work
Dec 23, 2003
I took Kirupa's tutorial on how to make a grassy field (which can be found HERE and it worked out. But now I have a different problem: I need to get all those grassy blades out of my movie at a sudden point. They just need to go, but I can't figure out how to. I tried multiple things:
- Masking the layer doesn't work
- Creating a new layer on top of them all, and putting a black square on that one, which covers everything, doesn't work either
- Changing the alpha of the first blade...nope.
4) add another text field to the stage, this one should be a static text field; put some text in it and test the movie again.
5) if you delete the static field and add another dynamic field, all is well again. Simply changing the static field doesn't work. It needs to be deleted and re-added.
How to import sound with AS? Cuz i have tried it and my sound just wount play. Can you explain me where my sound should be and what is the as code for importing cuz i use
mysound = new Sound(); mysound.attachSound("SoundOn"); mysound.start();
and this SoundON from where i get it, i try to add linkage to the sound file but in CS4 i cant find the option;. I do it from the library, adding text into the linkage field but still my sound doesn't want to play?
I have a movieclip Planet which consists out of a backround (BG) and a mask (PMask). The mask will be changed during gameplay (I add shapes, then draw this to a bitmap and replace the shapes with the bitmap).But for some reason the mask doesnt change along with the mask movieclip(as if it makes a copie of PMask and uses that as the mask instead, so that every change to PMask isnt applied to the mask of BG)This is basically my Planet.as file (I removed the stuff that isn't related):
I have an image 300 x 400 and want to reveal it 100 x 100 at a time in a cascading flow. I can create a 300 x 400 triangle & tween it to fade the image in, but I want to reveal small portions at a time like puzzle pieces coming together. Since masking only works for the layer below it, I apparently can't make 12 layers that each reveal only 100 x 100 segments.how I can get this effect?
The attachment contains two screen shots of a movie clip timeline. The images consist of a text mask symbol sliding diagonally other a text layer, and a picture button sliding to the left under an aqua blue mask. When I scrub the timeline -- things work great. But when I view the movie via the control menu, the dynamic text is not displayed. The images illustrate the masking layers in unlocked and locked mode. I'm using CS4.

The problem is simple all the field work except the Phone field. I am sure it is somethign to do with the variables, as i don;t know if i am missing a chunk of code or not. [URL] THis contain a php file n flash file
I decided to try to use setInterval for myanimation, which is just a mouse trail.However, I'm trying to get teh mouse trail to be a dynamic mask.In my previous swf this was achieved by using a holder mc with the animation inside and then using this as the mask. But this time I just canpt seem to hit on the right way to get it to work. The code I am using for the mouse trail is:
Code: var i:Number = 0; var myInt:Number; var t:MovieClip;[code].....
in the function, but now the trail doesn't resize and the mask still doesn't work.
I have a button object that I need to scale to align with the variable width of an array of images.However, when I set the width in code, the button does not actually become that width. Tracing out the width gives me the correct value, but on screen.. it's off.
I've proved it to myself by scaling the same button object manually in the properties pane and visually comparing. Both of the buttons below have a width of 410.
I'm making videos for an instructional program. This involves importing audio, images, animating those images, etc. I'll be exporting to flv format at the end, and then converting them to MP4 for downloads online.H
1.) Should I be using ActionScript 3.0 or ActionScript 2.0 for this?
2.) When I try to import audio, the whole audio file doesn't show up immediately in a new layer that I've created. It only goes in the blank keyframe that I've inserted. How do I import the audio so that the entirety of it shows up?
i CAN'T CLICK on any button, movieclip layer and have actionscript work, it just says "CURRENT SELECTION CANNOT HAVE ACTIONS APPLIED TO IT" what do i have to do so that i can click on my button's and go in action pannel and be able to input my actions without it saying "CURRENT SELECTION CANNOT HAVE ACTIONS APPLIED TO IT"
I am working on a simple art scroller that will scroll images across the screen. It is very simple but my problem is that when I try to use NavigateToURL certain layer/instances will not work unless they are placed on top of the other layers (except AS layer). Other layers seem to work perfectly fine under the other layers. All in all I have approx. 15 layers all with one piece of art, instances at all keyframes and a actionscript layer on top.
IF you copy a motion tween as an AS how do you insert the code so that it still performs the motion?I created a motion tween, copied it, deleted all frames, made just 1 frame, placed the object on the frame (from the library with the same name used in the original tween) pasted the AS onto that frame of the relevant layer but it does not work
I'm using an editable datagrid where the user is typing in their data. When they click outside the datagrid it doesn't show the last value they entered. The value is there and if you click on that field again it will show up. If you click outside the field for a second time, this time the value stays displayed. How can I get the value to show up the first time the datagrid looses focus?[code]
I have a swf that is pretty complicated, you can interact with the page and go to different keyframes and it stops and/or starts depending on buttons, but I want to put it in a fla or something so I can put other swfs next to it and build it up and put several of them together as one.
I don't care about making it too complicated, I just want one interactive swf to go to the next compiled swf when that movie ends, but when I try importing it or loading it it just runs straight through without stopping or paying any attention to the scripting.
I am having trouble getting my dynamic text field to populate based on a countdown ActionScript. My dynamic text field's attribute name is time_txt and is set to Dynamic Text in the Properties panel. Here is my code:
I've created this loop to fill some data from a XML file...I can access the data but it doesn't work on my look.I have several movie clip on the stage such as thumb01, thumb03...then I whant to set a dynamic field called thumb01.numero.text with the var imageNumero myImage[i]. attributes.numero; attribute from my XML file but the loop doesn't recognize it...here is my code...
Code: var xmlData=new XML(); xmlData.ignoreWhite=true;[code]....
I am trying to more between frames using the data returned from a node n_EventID in an xml, when the node returns "1408" I want to move to frame 1 but if it returns anything else I want to move to frame 2. The part where the code moves to frame 2 seems to work perfectly but I can't seem to move to frame 1 when "1408" is returned.
xmlResultFinish = new XML(); xmlResultFinish.ignoreWhite = true xmlResultFinish.onLoad = loadXmlResultFinish;
I'm having a problem, where random IE's are not able to display my .swf file. All the IE's are IE8 with the latest flash pluggins and all security's are set at Medium, however some IE's get just a grey box and other's get the full flash file. What's going on? It works fine in Safari and Firefox of course, but why so much difficulty with AS3 Flash9 in IE? here is a link to the site, and it's the big image changer at the bottom of the front page.
But my proublem is that I have a flash presentation.The defalt for moving the slide screens back and forth are left and right arrows.It works fine when tested or even the .swf fileBut then the left and right buttons don't respond when I go to fullscreen.
Is it common for AS3 apps to not work in IE? Is there a way to make them work? I have a movie clip in my library linked to a custom class Main and I have nothing on stage. Just one frame. Everything is built inside that movie clip. I add that movie clip to stage through a document class and everything works perfectly in Firefox and Chrome but when I open it in IE, it's just a blank page.
i followed the instructions oh how to make a centered pop up window here :i'm using a mac..nd it works in Safari... but when i try to use explore to open it, the pop up window doesn't come up...why is that.......? did i do something wrong?here is my website:and please click on 'message' to see for yourself.
