Anyone know if the following things are even possible?
1. Making a movie clip flicker via ActionScript (i.e., it's alpha changes constantly between two values for a set period of time).
2. 'Flipping' a movieclip horizontally via ActionScript.
How you do flip a movieclip horizontally by script? doesn't seem to have a function for that.
View 3 RepliesMy idea is for a movieclip to flip horizontally when reaching an _x point, which is 225 (it should be half the stage). Now, I know about _root.movie_clip._xscale, and I've tried it, but it didn't work. Here's my code:
onClipEvent(load){
if(_root.poke._x=-225){
_root.poke._xscale=-100;

And I'll upload the .fla for you, so you can see what the problem is.
I've loaded a clip in my main swf and I want to flip it by using scaleX*=-1the problem is that in my clip, the animation is at the center of the stage so when I load it and flip it using scaleX instead of staying at the same place it flips by using the top left corner of the clip as a pivot instead of the center of the animation itselfI could either solve this problem by placing the center of my animation on the point (0,0) in the clip or flip then rearrange the clip's x position inside my main swf...but is there a more effective method?

I got this pretty much working, but there is a bug, when the bird is going right the trace statement says right but I get the movieclip flashing between flipping right and flipping left. So I assume its a problem with that bit of the code. Also this function is running constantly so I don't know if that might be an issue:
Code:
public function objDirection() {
trace('old' + oldX);
trace('charx' + char.x);
if (char.x>oldX) {
trace("Bird right");

I am trying to make a movie clip flicker really fast. At first I had two keyframes. The first one set the movie clips visibility to true and the secong to false. Its just not quite as fast as I wanted and I dont want to change the fps. How to do this with actionscript.
View 9 RepliesI have a image of burlap @ 500 width x 430 height. I need to tile this as my entire background for my full screen flash site. flip the image horizontally for every other placement horizontally, and then i need it to flip vertically for every other Vertical placement. So the image only looks seamless if i do this. I have a illustration below to help show what i mean.

I have a movieclip.. named contentMC which i need to be able to drag via a mouse event or touch, so it moves left and right.
View 14 RepliesI tried things like changing _width and _xscale. nothing works. flipping vertically is possible by changing _rotation. but how do i flip the clip horizontally?
View 1 RepliesI am using this simple code to startDrag()
drag.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragD);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragU);
function dragD(event:Event):void {
this.startDrag();
} function dragU(event:Event):void {
this.stopDrag();
}
I need to drag only horizontally.
is it possible to flip a (duplicated) movieclip horizontally or vertically using AS?
I don't mean rotating it 180 degrees, that's something else, I mean a flip comparable to Modify > Transform > Flip Horizontal.
I need to know how to flip a movieclip vertically / horizontally like in
modify - flip horizontal
modify - flip vertical
But in actionscript, and i've tried ._rotation, and it doesnt work properly, it messes it up
How do you make a movieclip move horizontally from the start of the stage to 3/4 of the stage. Stage size is 700 px by 600 px
i want just one row in the middle of the stage. i want that movieclip to disappear right after it reach the end of the 3/4 mark.
I am trying to make a movie clip that contains different buttons. Not all the buttons will be visible on the stage always, so I want that when the user moves the mouse arrow left, the movieclip containing the buttons updates and move along with it to the right...and vise versa. The issue I am having is that my pieces update only after I am done moving the mouse. So the movie clip is not moving along with the pointer. Attached is the code. Here is a sample of what I am trying to accomplish: [URL]
View 3 RepliesIf two movie clips instances of the same movieclip are placed on the stage and one is flipped horizontally in Flash.. Is there a way I can detect which one has been flipped horizontally in code? ScaleX seems to remain unchanged.The MovieClip has been flipped horizontally using the Flash UI (Edit->Flip Horizontal), not via code.
View 2 Replieshow to use actionscript to stretch a movieclip indefinately either horizontally or vertically? I have a swf file which I've set to resize when the browser window resizes and I want to have a background movie clip that 'stretches' or 'repeats' itself to accomodate the browser window at whatever width it is.
View 1 RepliesIs there a code that will flip a MovieClip horizontally (e.g mirror image) when the mouse moves over a certain x-coordinate.For example, we'll say the movieclip is called "man" .When the mouse is on the left side of the man, the man faces right. However when the mouse is on the right side of the man, he now faces left. Of more simply, he 'flips over' when the mouse changes sides.Is there an actionscript code to tell the movieclip to do this or do i have to manyally free transform the movieclip?
View 7 RepliesI have a problem with the way Flash handles a script I am making. What I currently have is 10 movieclips which I want to play after each other. Right now, I am using a for loop to start each clip. Naturally this will make it so that each clip starts almost immediately after the one before it. make a script that will make Flash wait with playing a clip until the one before it is done?
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a project where in I've found it necessary to mask a background object with MULTIPLE Sprites. I've tried doing this two ways: making one "parent" sprite to which all of the other masks are childed; adding them as individual masks.
The composite strategy just sort of gave up, Flash doesn't seem to like having to search through it's render tree to do these things and the result was no visible mask or masking (just the full background image). The latter strategy failed for obvious reasons: saying Sprite.mask = so-and-so implies that setting it again will overwrite the last mask.
Is there any way to use the composite strategy? Or is there a way I can copy over all of my sprites and draw them directly into one new sprite on every frame?
I'm making a game in actionscript using the FlashDevelop tool and the FlashPunk game engine. I have a designer making movie clips for me to put into this game using Flash CS3.
My problem is that when I add these movie clips into my game they are playing much quicker than they should. Is there a specific frame rate clips need to be made in within CS3 or any other export options set to enable them to play at the correct speed or is this something that I need to deal with in my code.
EDIT
Another problem that I'm having is that the command movieClip.stop() doesn't work. Is there anything special that needs doing while exporting or the programming side?
EDIT
Here is how I'm loading in my swfs:
public var movieClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
private var myLoader:Loader;
public function MyMovieClip(location:String)

Is there anyway to make this possible?
How would I go about making my own functions for objects and movie clips?

I've found some code on the net that creates a dynamic pie chart using xml.It works fine, but what I want is for it to make each slice a movie clip so that I can target the slice to show a the percentage on mouse over.At the moment all the slices is in one mc called piechart.
Code below

var titles:Array = new Array();
var values:Array = new Array();var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

On my site, i have 3 different Flash Files. Each playing a different part .eg text, content,menu. (because of the design, i can't have just 1 file, plus i want 3 seperate ones~!!!)Now what i want to try and do, is have the MENU(swf1) target a scene or frame in the CONTENT flash file(swf2)So that when you click on about us button, it will target (eg.) frame 3 of SWF2, which contains that information!!ANd also have the MENU(SWF1) be able to also target frames in TEXT(SWF3)Bassically im guesisng its passing variables to and from multiple movie clips!i have no where to start.
