I've finished a site that has a listener with no scaling. Basically its the typical /2 deal to keep the movie clip centered. On a few images I have a 1 pixel black frame so the images need to remain on whole pixel locations to remain crisp. Generally everything works well but sometimes when you resize the browser just right it somehow puts them in between pixels.
View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip and I wanted to play until a specific frame for 1 time and I want a loop sequence for the rest of the frames. I managed to do it in flash combining 2 movie clips but I was wondering if and How I could do it with a code!
View 3 RepliesHaving trouble trying to scroll BitmapData on a half pixel here is my original code
var speed:Number = 1;
_bitmapData.copyPixels(_backgroundParallax, _screenRect, _zeroPoint, null, null, true);
_backgroundParallax.copyPixels(_backgroundParallax, new Rectangle(0, 0, speed, _backgroundParallax.height), new Point(_backgroundParallax.width-speed,0), null, null, false);
_backgroundParallax.scroll( (speed*-1) , 0);
which works until i change the var speed to .5, which is because .scroll method is expecting int's so i replicated what scroll is doing to try and allow .5 pixels

Building a flash website in CS3. I've made every button the exact same way, draw a rectangle, convert to symbol, type as either button or movie clip (doesn't seem to matter and I'm not using rollover stuff), alpha 0% and stick it on its own layer above everything else.Action scrip is as follows:
main1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoMain);
main2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoMain);
function gotoMain(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
that's with 2 buttons for main. I have the exact same code multiple times for many different buttons. It works everywhere except the last two buttons on my page will work the first time you click them from the main page, but then don't work after that until you click on the main page again. Then it works.These two:
babout3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoAboutb1);
bcontact3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoBcontact1);
the function is described on an earlier action keyframe:
bcontact1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoBcontact1);
function gotoBcontact1(event:MouseEvent):void[code]...
Of course I've tried just having one button do this and copy/pasting the button on different areas of the movie, but nothing I've done fixes. I've even gone through and deleted every button and AS and redone it. I've put every button on its own layer (shouldn't matter but I'm trying everything I can think of).if there is an easier way of using AS to navigate a flash movie let me know. The other options I've seen seem a bit too complex at the moment.
Been reading the tutorial on centred pop ups by Kirupa and I am wondering how to execute the javascript from an externally loaded movie?
I have a button on a clip that is loaded externally and I want this button to open a centred, non resizable pop-up window. Do I simply publish the external clip as both flash and as htm, place the javascript code on the htm file and then play the root movie clip as normal?
I would like to use a movie clip such as a rim from a car and rotate it on its x axis centered and then move it along the screen according to how much of the screen has loaded.here is what I have so far sorry it may be a little messy:
stop();
//rotate the rim
rim_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, rotateRim);
[code]....
NOTES: the function rotateRim works correctly rotating the rim the var xpos provides me with the correct position i would like my X position to be and traces it out perfect upon test if trace is coded for it.
I hav movieclips in a flash document that i have autocenter when the stage is scaled code is something like this:
clients_mc.y = Math.round((stage.stageHeight/2)-15);
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeClients);
function resizeClients(event = null){
clients_mc.y = Math.round((stage.stageHeight/2)-15);
};
any way to make it esae in to position or bounce, something?
some browser sizes it looks fine but at others because the mc uses the browser window width and heigth/2 to find the middle of the stage.But at some sizes the half of the browser windows becomes an uneven number, which is blurring the pixel fontthe pixel font is in the mcSite mc) How can I solve this?
My code:
Stage.scaleMode = 'noScale';
Stage.align = 'TL';

i am trying to scale a movie clip to certain pixel dimensions with easing. I have four buttons on the stage and one mc( a square). when a button is pressed i want to scale the mc to a certain size. i.e button 1 scales the mc to 200 pixels by 500 pixels.

View 9 RepliesI have a movieclip with an image fading in and out (using an actionscript tween class set to yoyo). This movieclip is loaded into a dummy movieclip when a button is pressed. The first time you click the button the fading movieclip plays as it should, fading in and out continuously. However, the second or subsequent times the button is clicked the fading movieclip goes crazy, half fading in/out and half jumping from one alpha value to another.
View 7 RepliesThe first half of the tween doesn't work but the second half does. It only does this when I add the code link._visible = 0;. This is to make the alpha completly disappear.
View 1 RepliesI have a preloader which loads an external swf (an animation I created in flash) This works fine, except that when the movie plays, it's already halfway through. Here's the code..
[Code]...
I think I must be missing something fairly basic...I've searched but can't find the answer. I just want my animation to play from the start, once loaded. The swf is about 4 meg.
i am working on an intro for a friend of mine and it includes a lot of individual photos. the preloader takes forever but i can figure out how to only load half of the movie instead of the entire thing before it plays. here's the code i have for the preloader itself:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
[code]...
here's a link to the current test page so you can see the entire intro and how long it takes now with that code to load. i just want it to load part of the file instead of waiting for all of it.[URL]
I'm using as2 and i'm making a photogallery. I have a preloader but its taking too long to load, so is there a way where i can pick how much i want it to be loaded before it starts so the viewer doesnt sit there forever? Maybe a quarter loaded or half?. Here's the code im using now to do this. if (_framesloaded>=_totalframes) { gotoAndPlay (14);} else { gotoAndPlay (1);}

View 2 RepliesI am looking for a fairly simple image comparison method in AS3. I have taken an image from a web cam (with no subject) passed it in to bitmap data, then a second image is taken (this time with a subject) to compare this data, from these two images I would like to create a mask from the pixels that match on both bitmaps. I have been scratching my head for a while, and I am not really making any progress. Could any one point me in the right direction for pixel comparison method, something like getPixel32()

View 7 RepliesI have a problem with a flash movie, that is initated below a div element with z-index: 2000;. I have a onMouseDown event, on the div - which is triggering fine, and I have $(divelement).hover(functionIn(),functionOut()) attached. (The onClick event is captured by the underlying flash regardless of z-index)
In FF and IE9 this is all working as expected, but in IE8 the functionOut() and functionIn() is triggered on every pixel! What's a good way to fix this?
Possible to add some sort of pixel boundaries based on the element size and position to aid .hover() ?
I have published my movie to take up 100% of the width and height of the screen.It takes up the entire height of the screen, but there is about a 10 pixel gap on the left and right side of the movie.

View 17 RepliesI am pretty new to ActionScript 3 and Flash. I don't want my movie clip to play unless the person's mouse curser is on the movie clip for more than a second. If the person just runs their curser over the movie clips really quickly, then it should do nothing. It must be more than a second. How do I code that?

I'm creating a small drag & drop activity, and I want to be able to check and see if the dragged movie clip is completely within the bounds of another movie clip (or at least in the bounds of a certain x/y zone on the main stage. I can't use dropTest because it returns true if any tiny bit of the movie clip overlaps with the dropTest movie clip.
I also thought of something that just checks the x/y coordinates of the dragged movie clip, but I'd need this to reflect a range of values rather than one coordinate. For instance, I'd want to return true if the movie clip's x is between 50-60 AND the y is between 50-60. I'm attaching a small graphic to illustrate in case my explanation isn't clear enough [URL]
