How i would go about making a sort of increasing transparency layer..
say i have a movieclip which is scrolling back and forth horizontally ..
as it reaches its extremes ( were i want it to start being hidden) i do not want it to be completly hidden right away .. but i want it to look more and more hidden the further into the extreme it goes , so it looks as if its fading when it scrolls to the side.

i know it could be done by slicing the mc up into smaller bits and changing _alpha of it as it goes further away from my center ..
I have created a swf for the header of my website. On the top layer I have an image that stays static while the rest of the header changes images. I am trying to get the static image to be fairly transparent but am not having much luck. I created the image in PS I saved it with transparency but it doesn't look right in the swf.
View 2 RepliesI ran into an odd problem a week ago that I haven't been able to fix. I'm new to Flash so sorry if this has been discussed but my research has turned up nothing. I'm using Flash Develop. I managed to duplicate the problem in a simple program: I set up one large bitmap for the background, not transparent. I then add another large bitmap on top of that, the second layer background, as a child of the main bg. This layer has transparency so you can see the bg through the trees and such. Then I stack a lot of sprites on top of each other, all with transparency. They can be children of the main bg or the second layer bg, doesn't matter. Where the transparency of the sprites overlap the second layer background disappears completely to reveal the main background (like a window around the sprite stack.) The bitmaps I'm using are from embedded png files.
I found that 23 transparent objects causes the 24th object and beyond to disappear. And it only happens when I have a mask set to the main background (a simple filled square for clipping the child sprites that move off-screen.) Also the problem goes away while the background is moving. My project features many objects near each other so the chance of this problem occurring is pretty high. Its not game-breaking but I'm new to flash and my project is nearly complete (and large) so I'm hoping there is something simple I can do to fix this.
i want to collapse a complex scene with all different layers and different transparency into a single layer (or as few as possible) to optimize the flash file for online (were experince proformance issues). I have tried the combine and manually copying pasting into one layer but it cuts the fill below and replace with transparent fill. I want to have a end file that is 100% solid.
View 1 RepliesI am using the below given code to try to make the transparency 0, but I still am unable to make the background become absolutely transparent.

modalTransparencyBlur: 0;

Don't know if the flash layer on the view stack contain only the compiled flash swf file

I'm trying to make a paper doll sort of program. I've got a bunch of PNGs of clothes cut out and I'd like to dynamically load them in with attachMovie. So I imported the PNGs into my project, but when I try to export them for ActionScript, the checkbox to do so is greyed out.
what the specific requirements are to be able to Export a symbol to ActionScript?
i know how to make an animated mask to have an image on top of another to have them transition as the mask passes thru..but this time instead of animating the mask i was wondering how to make the mask be sort of a brush on the tip of the mouse pointer.

My mainBar(movieClip type) consists of several buttons. If i don't put the codes above, the buttons would work as per normal. but if i put these codes, the buttons do not respond when i click on them. I want to make the mainBar, which is some sort of a control bar, transparent when the mouse cursor is not over it. when the mouse cursor is over it, then it will re-appear. but the buttons on the control bar doesn't seem to work when i try to use this feature.
I have an array that is structured like so.

Normally, I'd just like to sort the array alphabetically using the name field, which is easy enough using the following code. However, I'd like to create a radio button called 'loadedRadioButton' and when it's click on, I'd like to sort the array on the loaded value first(any items with loaded=true should be at the top, sorted alphabetically), then afterwards, any other items with loaded=false, sorted alphabetically should follow afterwards, how can I do it?

View 1 RepliesIm making a file data center sort of thing in flash. What's meant to happen is: You click an button on the side of the list and on the display area beside it it shows the text info on that item and the button that you click to display that item! really simple but i dont know how to do it Instance names: what ever you want
Actionscript dyscription:
1. Click button
2. [instance name: "display" MOVIECLIP] displays the frame("display2")
3. Click other button in list and goto and stop ("display3")
i need to make a sort of template for a group of files. it must contain both text and images (sort of help files where there is text and explanatory figures). i have to make this template 100% dynamic, meaning that i don't know the amount of text or number of images or where those images will be within the text. my client should be able to add text and images without having to edit the swf.
i know how to make textfields and movieclips during runtime, and how to load dynamic text and images, but the main problem is that the client wants the images inbetween paragraphs - not in a seperate place. -how do i set breakpoints in a dynamically loaded text -how do i position the images? -how do i position the rest of the text?
i want to make some sort of scroll pane that will hold my xmL loaded images ..i have looked at several samples of scrolling panes but they only hold textfield.
View 2 RepliesI'm having an issue when it comes to line thickness on movie clips, when a movieclip is flipped the line thickness vanishes due to Flash thinking I'm squishing the MovieClip. Is there any way I can make Flash not bother the line thickness when changing scale or some sort of alternative? Or is my only choice to kill line thickness altogether.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to make a layer transparent?
And is there a way to make a symbol transparent?
ok i'll try and explain this best i can, on my site i have a menu that takes up the whole of the content area.. the plan is that when the user clicks the menu button within a content page the menu would appear over the top however with a slightly transparent background so you can still see the last visible content page in the layer underneath.. i've got this to work however the buttons within the content page are still active.. is there a way i can make the menu layer 'solid' so the content below is only visible but not accessible?
View 5 RepliesI wonder how it is possible to do a working link on a .swf file to open a new URL. The link is working but it seems that the second Blue layer where the "button" is created is not transparent as this is on top of the animation. So the only thing that is seen is this blue layer when presented in the HTML. I think the problem is that the 2:nd layer isn�t transparent and I dont know how to make it transparent? I think the problem is on step 2?
1. Import the .flv file.
2. Create a new layer wich in this case is Blue (How to make it transparent ?)
3. Draw a rectangle the same size as your banner
4. Go to the Modify menu and select 'Convert to Symbol'
5. In the pop up window make sure the behaviour is set to 'button'
6. Then in your Behaviours panel click on add behaviour (+ symbol at the top) and select option web/goto web page
7. enter url of page, in this case [URL]

When I get a collection back from the service tier, I create an ArrayCollection and apply a sort. When I add an item to the collection later on, the sort is still in place? It seems to be the case. I thought I was only sorting it once, not applying a sort that will stick??Here is the method for adding an item:
private function onAddNewClick():void
{
var fileTemplate:FileTemplateDetailDTO = new FileTemplateDetailDTO();

I have a shape on a layer and I have used a bunch of motion tweens on it. I need to dynamically move that shape but I can not figure out a way to accomplish this. Have I painted myself into a corner with this one?
View 1 RepliesOn one layer I have a gallery loading the content from an xml file. On the layer above I have two square blocks on either side of the screen, with a gap in the middle for where the main picture will be displayed. The two blocks are 50%percent alpha. This is because the gallery thats loaded, loads the images in a line, which is movable, whereby the user can click either the left or right image and the gallery moves along, displaying the next or previous image into the middle spot where there are no blocks shading it.

View 15 RepliesI'm trying to make some sort of game where the player is to "escort" a color to a target. The user starts as gray and the player is painted one of four colors when he hits one of the boxes on the screen. The game is over when the player's object is the same color as the target's color and they touch. All this is realized, except a part where the target is a different color every time the game restarts. So far I have
ActionScript Code:
public function randomcolor():void

The target has a color assigned to it; winrar.color which is working. How do I get things working so the target is actually colored correctly?
I'm making an interactive map of the U.S. The layer with the outlines of the U.S. states sits on top. It has to sit on top because otherwise the outlines don't show up above the color fills for each state. I want a popup balloon to appear when you roll over each U.S. state. However, when I turn a state, say, New York, into a button, the button layer sits below the outline layer. So when I create the popup box for the button's rollover state, the popup box is *under* the US state outlines. How can I make the button rollover state exist on the highest layer?
View 2 RepliesI have created a webpage with a html menu and flash embedded underneath it.The problem is, the flash movie is in an index layer of -1 and the html menu needs to sit above it in index 1 for example.If the menu sits behind the flash the buttons are inactive, if the flash sits behind the html menu, its buttons are inactive.I have a div layer for the html menu and it not as high as the flash movie, but it doesn't make a difference, its seen as sitting behind and therefore the buttons don't work.
