I've seen this being done before and I thought it would be easy, but got stumped when trying to replicate it. I'm trying to create a function in flash which will take dark pixels of an image of hair and lighten it and maybe add colour too... Is that really tough to do or does anyone have an easy way around it? Example: [URL]
View 2 RepliesSome images I load dynamically are too big so I would like to scale them to fit the stage.

this returns 0. Why does it return 0 when the image loaded is obviously much larger then 0 pixels. How do I change the width and height of imgCont to a specified dimension.

if i wanted to add a little bounce effect that when scrolled it went a hair past the destination but came back how would that look?
I want to know how to highlight any image blue, but just the image, not the square its in if you know what i mean.
View 2 RepliesI've completed the tutorial to create a photo gallery using flash and xml, and have gone on to add the thumbnails. Everything works as intended, but now I would like to add another feature... I'd like to highlight the thumbnail that coordinates with the current image (maybe at 100% alpha while the others are only at 50% or something along those lines). Any suggestions, building off of this:[URL] ?
View 1 RepliesI imported and .png (bitmap) and converted it to symbol however when I place it on stage and look at it the corners (marker with red, edit: basically all the corners are somewhat incorrect) appear somewhat ugly, however when I zoom in to 200% I see that everything is correct. I'm also sure that when importing the .png image the pixels were correct. Why is it so and how to fix it?
View 2 RepliesI actually try to do the following: I have loaded an external image in a bitmapdata object and create a bitmap from it which i attach it to a sprite/MovieClip in order to have mouse events on it. Now under the previous logic i loaded two images (let's say circles) of the same size one that has a particular color and is covered by its black foreground circle. When i press left mouse button and hold it down i want while the mouse is moved to erase the foreground circle's pixels and so the background image starting to appear.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI thought this was going to be easy, and hopefully for someone it is, but I'm having a tough time so thought I'd ask here...
I have an image - say 50 x 30 - 1500 pixels.
I need to scale it so that it keeps it proportion, and takes n pixels - say 20 for example.
so instead of the pixels being dissolved, the pixels being added? :
ActionScript Code:
var Anim:TransitionManager = new TransitionManager(blackbox);
Anim.startTransition({type:PixelDissolve, direction:Transition.OUT, duration:1, easing:None.easeOut, xSections:35, ySections:35});
basically what i would like is the end point to be the start point and the start point the end point.
I have a swf file that loads into my main movie, and within that swf there is a masked image that i would like to scale using zoom in and out buttons and also by using a slider bar.However i cant find any tutorials that will allow me to combine the two.I have used the following code for the buttons. Which seems to work ok but i would like it to be a little smoother. (using speed or some sort of easing??)
ActionScript Code:
zoomPlus.onRelease = function(zoomIn) {
if (test_shirt.shirt._xscale == 400 && test_shirt.shirt._yscale == 400) {[code]....
but for this code it keeps shrinking my initial object down to 10 pixels by 10 pixels..
I have a movie clip called column1_mc. when I click a button I need to move the movie clip in incremental moves consisting of 30 pixels.
column1_mc._y = 30;
Does not work because that is giving a _y coordinate.For example.I need to make the movie clip jump to _y 300 but make 10x30 pixel incremental jumps. Moving 10 times 30 pixel jumps.
Any way to copy the pixels or handle the image from URL "[URL]" in Flash? It will work fine in FLASH IDE but when I look this in browser, then it crashed. I know that its crossdomain Issue. I always get childAllowParent=false after loading. It always crashed when I want to get event.target.content or
addMC.getChildByName(mcName);
I am loading this image from Google Image search API in Flash CS3 Professional and AS3.
I have a Flash fla file that contains a whole lot of images. The majority of each image is composed of transparent pixels with a visual object in there somewhere. Each image at the moment is at {x:0, y:0}.I want to trim away the transparent pixels of the image down to a minimum bounding box, but keep the object at the same global position. This requires shifting the trimmed image to the global position of the object in the untrimmed image.This is not so much a problem, but the fact that the images are all contained in a fla is the problem. The options I see at the moment are:
investigate JSFL, the Bitmap object has a getPixels, this in combination with a selection and delete operation could work save the fla to xfl and enumerate the images and associated xml with something like Ruby + image processing lib
Questions: Does anyone know upfront if this operation is possible in JSFL? Have anyone done much automated processing of xfl files? Is there an off the shelf image processor that can perform this trimming operation?
I'm trying to copy pixels from a loaded image. This code generates no errors but there is a missing link between the bitmapData object and the loaded image.
ActionScript Code:
package

I load my thumbnail into flash this way:
Code:
material.holder.loadMovie("material.png")
material.holder._xscale = 75;
material.holder._yscale = 75;
how can i make it so when the user rollsover the image loaded, it darkens to appear highlighted?
Is it possible to detect (dynamically) the white pixels of an image and delete them? Actually i have some images that i load on stage but they are square without the actual image be a square sized. So i want to make the hit area exactly the shape of the image and not the whit border they have.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to load an image of size 6000 × 8192 pixels which cleary exceeds flash platform limitation for an image.
I am trying which doesn't seem to work.
I have had search around the internet and found few components like BitmapDataUnlimited, and BigAssCanvas but I amn't sure if I can use them for displaying a remote image as none of them seem to have a working implemented example and just the class itself.
I want to do a distortion on a image. Something simple, i searched the web for a tutorial but I couldn't find one. What i need to do is to re-arrange the pixels in a video element or in a bitmap element.
View 4 Replieshow some websites you click on something, a flash window (I'm assuming it's a flash window) pops up and everything goes dark around it (and you can't click anywhere) until you close the window.
View 5 RepliesI'm tring to create a roll over effect. I have 4 Pictures: Let's Say A B C D. If I roll over A I want the other picture to have a transparent light box on top so it looks like A is the main focus. So if you roll over A the other pictures will turn dark and A will keep its color. I can do this by making A a symbol and then putting a transparent png dark box on top of B C D. That works. What doesn't work is when I go back to the original time frame and make B a button also. When I add the roll over effect, it only does it for that. Let me show you in pictures.
<---- that is the original
<---- When I roll over A
<---- When I roll over B
The last two are made using two different flash files. I can't put them together in one. If I put them together and roll over on A, It comes out like this.
I get a weird bug only on Mac, only on Safari. On Pc, on Safari it's ok:
when I click to allow the camera the text, that is contained in a movieclip, the xmas ball and the snow fail the transparency on the video!
I am trying to create an effect that when someone clicks a button it opens a movieclip. I want everything behind that movieclip to get dark so that the only option is to click on a button in the open movieclip.
View 1 RepliesI created these buttons that should do the following screen. Be dark when the mouse is not over them. Smoothly transit to a brighter colour when the mouse get's over them and then again smoothly transit to dark when the mouse get's away. To do so I created 2 animations the one that gets the button darker and the one that gets the button brighter (which is actually the normal picture of the button). The button statuses are these:
UP: Bright to Dark animation
OVER: Dark to Bright animation
DOWN: Bright picture
HIT: Bright picture
now the buttons work perfectly except for the fact that when i turn on the scene before they get dark the buttons have to go through the up animation (bright to dark) so it looks like turning all the lights off. How do i have my buttons start off being dark?
In the first button i am not able to remove the dark border from the button. I want exactly like 2nd button.
I am using the following CSS for button:
fillAlphas: 1, 1, 1, 1;
fillColors: #FCB913, #FC8613, #D4652D, #B34A2A;
themeColor: #FABA0A;

When watching a video on youtube you get a dark player But when you embed you get the standard light player
So,How can I change the embedded video to use the dark controls?
I know that I can view the source and copy the object for the video... but there has to be a more "official" way of doing this.
I have a main stage (its a background image + buttons) and when I click a button, an external swf is loaded in the middle of the page, on the main stage.
I would like the main stage to become inactive, dark and blurry... (you know what I mean?)...every time I click a button and the the external swf appears. Then when I click on the blurry area (main Stage), the external swf disappears and the main Stage becomes normal and active again.
How could I do all that in AS 3?
All I have now is the code for the button, to open the external swf file:
Code: Select allcontacts.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Contacts);
function Contacts(e:MouseEvent):void {
var loader:Loader = new Loader();

I'm trying to do some animation in Flash, and for some reason, just out of the blue, I managed to switch on the highlight box that turns up around all marks you make with the paintbrush. I found the option in the preferences window to change the colour, so I swapped it to the background colour so the box is slightly less intrusive, but it's still pretty distracting when im trying to draw. How do I turn it off?
EDIT: Also I have noticed i can only 'fill' a shape with the fill tool if it was a complete shape made with a single line. So for example if i were to draw a circle and then in my second brushstroke i were to draw a line across the centre and then apply the fill/paintbucket tool to the circle, it would fill the entire circle rather than the section before where the line crossed it. Is this related to the 'box' issue?
I have a simple shape, e.g. rect, circle, polygon, in a movie clip that I want to highlight, via AS3, when it is clicked. I thought I could just turn off the stroke using alpha of 0 and then turn it back up to act as the highlight but have been unable to find any way to do this. I was able to change the alpha for the entire mc but can't find a way to access the strokes of the shape.If it is just a rectangle or circle I can use the info from the shape to draw the highlight but when it gets more complicated I don't know how to find the borders of the shape.
View 3 RepliesIn my code, when a user clicks on a button, I set the alpha of the button to 50 and set enabled=0. This works to essentially disable and grey out the button. The problem is that even though the button has been disabled, it still sits in the over state until the user moves the cursor off the hit area... Funny, no?
Since you can't tell a button what frame to go to, how do I get it to go back to its up state (without recreating all my buttons as movieclips and doing the whole thing manually)?
In flex, how can I highlight text/label? I have text and a small image that I want to highlight.
