I have a series of nested movieclips that on rollOver they come to full alpha value and on rollout they go to like 20 alpha. In one of the clips it has a scroller but when I apply the alpha effect it makes the scrollbar not functional.How can I make an alpha effect like this with making everything inside the MC functional?I was using this type of code by the way: my_mc.alphaTo(20,1);
View 7 RepliesI am using flash to create an animation where text, once converted into a movieclip or a button, fades at a certain point. To do this I am using the text tool and converting the text into a movieclip.
I am trying to make the text fade away by using the alpha property, but the preview will never adjust the movieclips alpha value. I've tried embedding the font and linking it but it still just doesn't work.
I have the code below positioned on a keyframe in the main time line which gives me a grid effect using the instance 'cube' of the MC 'cube.
gridy=30;
gridx=30;
num=0;
for (var i=0;i < 10;i++)

The effect i want though is for the reduction in alpha to stagger from instance to instance, whereas at the moment they all fade together. Is there a way of tweeking the code i already have to achieve this staggering effect or does the whole thing need re thinking.

View 7 RepliesI have set up a site I am building...real basic I know.rolling text boxes).So Here's my question...when you use the load movie command...in this case, I am using buttons on my main nav (level 0) to fire the load movie command for subpage swfs located on level 1...is there a script that I can write that would make the level 1 swf fade (dissolve) on using the _alpha command instead of just appearing (from thin air...like a cut in videospeak)???. Is there a way to create a similar transition for unloading the swf as well?

I'm creating a mask effect. i create 10 movieclip with a library class reference that appear on the screen with a random alpha effect. THe problem is that if i try the effect alone all works ok. if i mask the layer that contains the effect on an image i don't see the effect. i see directly the image masked with the boxes. i can't explain that because i've the effect first but it seems that when i test the movie the effect doesn't play and the boxes appear directly on the screen.

The playhead in Motion Editor doesn't work and I'm seeing in tutorials.I can't scrub it along the timeline.When I pick a keyframe point it doesn't appear there unless I change the value of that point. If I then click on the playhead rectangle, the playhead disappears (actually it appears to jump to the first frame where it's half visible and can't be moved).I was playing with the motion editor interface trying to better define the problem and I figured out what's wrong.
The Motion Editor values for graph size, expanded graph size, and viewable frames were unusable in their default settings. In particular, viewable frames were set to 1 by default. As I increased the value the playhead started to function. I can't set a value higher than 117. I've maxed-out the graph size setting at 180 (300" wide format display) and the expanded graph size at 200.
i want to make a sliding panel with 2 buttons on it. The panel pops up from the bottom of the screen when the mouse is hovering over the the bottom 25 pixels of the screen. The panel is set to disappear when the user hovers the mouse off of the panel. At first i just tried to put buttons on the panel and covert the whole thing to a symbol, but then i could not access the individual properties of the buttons. What i tried instead is to make invisible buttons over the area where the image of the buttons were on the panel. The problem is that when now when the user hovers over the button, flash reads it as the mouse leaving the panel and the panel disappears.
View 3 RepliesI'm setting up a functional test suite for an application that loads an external configuration file. Right now, I'm using flexunit's addAsync function to load it and then again to test if the contents point to services that exist and can be accessed.
The trouble with this is that having this kind of two (or more) stage method means that I'm running all of my tests in the context of one test with dozens of asserts, which seems like a kind of degenerate way to use the framework, and makes bugs harder to find. Is there a way to have something like an asynchronous setup? Is there another testing framework that handles this better?
We used the FLARmanager, developed a nice little app, runs find locally, runs fine on our dev Linux server.Put it on an IIS server. When we click on the 'allow webcam' prompt, the webcam control panel pops up (as usual), butthere is no camera image displayed. The camera light does not come on. The camera control panel goes awayCould it be server configuration? Settings? Security? Why would it be different on different servers, all things being equal?
View 0 RepliesI have a button on a swf that works fine (click it and it launches a html page) on its own when rendered as a swf - the code forwards to a new page on a html site.[code]but I have used a separate preloader to help load in the graphic, the trouble is this does not seem to pass on the above code, yet the rollover code (that makes the mc resize a little) that is a layer or 2 into the bttn works fine in the original swf and the preloader.[code]
I wonder if anyone could advise me as to how, in as3, I can regain the click functionality back so the swf works after being preloaded.Also, is there a quick way to get the 'finger' pointer instead of the 'arrow' one if I so wished?.

Nothing works.
View 1 RepliesI have created a drop down menu all as one movieclip. I have placed for the variable, event listener within my scripts layer in this movieclip as it should be, no errors. It works fine if I attempt to navigate from my main navigation buttons (ones that can be rolled over and clicked on (when rolling over them, it also unmasks a menu of submenu buttons. However, my issue is that if i attempt to change this navigation code to the submenu button, it no longer performs as it should (again, no errors). The only difference is that my submenu buttons are on a layer underneath the main buttons within this same movieclip, and they are masked by a shape for the rollover event.
[Code]....
if i change the home_btn back to site_btn (a submenu button), it no longer functions, but works properly when assigned to home_btn.
I found a cool menu that I'd like to be able to use but right now I don't know how to make the buttons become functional links. If its just a matter of editing the XML only? Or...does something need to be added to the actionscipt as well. I have a hunch both need to be edited and I have already tried various revisions. Below is the link where the example and files can be found. Be aware that if you try to use the actual files you will need an mc tween extension found at [URL].
Here is the XML code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

Here is piece of code:
protected function handleTriggers(raw:Object) : void {
var name:String, value:String, map:Object;
map = {
'onclick': MouseEvent.CLICK,
'ondblclick': MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK,
[Code] .....
Object is generic DisplayObject and raw object contains series of onclick, onmouseover, etc event triggers. It was meant that I could attach event listeners automatically following the properties of that raw object. And it seems like it works, as I indeed can see some listener Functions in listeners property of the DisplayObject and their number corresponds to the number of triggers. But later when everything is put on stage, only the last event handler gets triggered.
how to have a button work when it is inside a movie clip that has actions on it. for example ..i have a movie symbol that has a 'on rolloever..x-scale up to 150%..and then back down to 100 on rolloff.' when i put a button inside this, that button loses its functionality.

i'm a flash newb, wrestling with actionscript 3 and ran into a problem with a drop down menu.the menu is composed of nested movie clips that open and close, and contain buttons that control a ui loader in scene 1. it seemed to be working all right until i realized that after opening and closing and reopening a submenu, the buttons that worked the first time stopped controlling the ui loader. since there aren't any error messages i'm kind of at a loss as to what needs fixing.

[Code]....
just spotted this curious trick. If you want to flip something to go invisible on a click, and then reappear on another click (etc etc), try this:
create the sprite, setting alpha to either to 1 OR -1
mySprite.alpha=1; //OR
mySprite.aplha=-1;
[code]....
using AS, on loading a movie a solid shape is there with alpha at 100% then over a period of 5 secs its alpha is reduced to 0.
i'm new to this......please help if you want to if you don't have a good weekend but think of me struggling onwards and upwards...
