Although I put _x = player._x etc. code in an onEnterFrame function the masking mc is moving without the player
You see...the player is held within some borders. When cornered and then hit, the mask moves according to how it would move normally, but without the player (because he is held in place by some borders)...
Also, if I don't have a problem but I'm missing a crucial piece of code,
I wish to stop my mask being dragged outside the bounds of the image. The current set up I have is as follows. I created a circle and added a blur; I then exported it for action script setting its class as a sprite with the class name "Circle". I also made my image i was going to mask a Movie clip with the isntance name "mc_bee". In the actionscript I added it to the stage, positioned it and cached it. I tried to add in actioscript to create the bounds the image the mask is making with the code below:
I have a startDrag function set up on a loader and mask that when the mouse is down on the loader it drags, when not it doesn't. There is also 2 buttons that control whether mask1 or mask2 is used. What i would like however is when the mouse is down - the area of the loader outside of the mask is visible but only by about 10/20% alpha, that way the user can see where all the image is while dragging. Is this possible? Full code can be seen below and i have attached the zip with the .fla file:
what i am doing is to make something along the lines of the "scriptable mask" tutorial Inigo was kind enough to put up.My idea is to have a large mask behind the whole of my flash site, this masks a colour image with a black & white one (nothing tricky). The image I am using is actually 5 separate images combined, and each is a pic of certain parts of the site.I also have a very basic set of buttons along the bottom... each corresponding to each section.
All I want is to set it up so that when I mouse over the buttons, the _x of the mask moves to correspond with the correct image... really very basic... or so I thought .If anything it should be easier to do than what is in Inigo's tut (where he uses the _x of the mouse to move the mask)... i just cant seem to get it to work with a nice easing effect (its easy to get the mask to simply snap to each coordinate, but I need it to smoothly move).
maybe point me towards a better way to mask. png file is way too big. I have been using the mask layer option to create my own mask around a jpg image by drawing around it on the mask layer. There has to be a fetter and faster way to do this. Is it possible to maybe have a specific color range have an alpha value of 0. Similar to green screening whereas If I put the item I want to clip on a green background flash will auto take out the green for me. and by auto I mean action script maybe. I think this can be done but im not finding it.
how are these guys clipping these images [URL] they have the movie clips set up where the black background on the 3 layers of shoes is getting masked out. When I go into the shoe movie clips I see there is a black background but it just disappears when I go back to main timeline.
ive gotten one movie clip to mask another in the actions frame but i cant seem to be able to mask the flames which are a shape with a movieclip in this as file. im not getting any errors but the mask isnt covering anything look near the bottom at s.mask=mask_mc; there are about 20 "s" shapes spawning per second if that has anything to do with it
Code: //this package turns an mc into a flaming button that calls a javascript function package { import flash.display.MovieClip;
I opened up the NY Times homepage, and they have this giant Apple addvertisement that has animations over the entire top half of the page, outside the area occupied by the swf.
I have a bunch of images going on all at once, some on the stage, and some off, and i would like to find a way of telling whether or not they are currently on the stage or not....
I know i can do the whole
checkStage = function () { if ((mc._x>=0) && (mc._x<=Stage.width) && (mc._y >= 0)&&(mc._y >=Stage.height)) { //have mc do whatever here
[Code].....
that way i can satisfy my laziness AND achieve what i'm trying to do without having to deal with long winded paths and a bunch of else if's
for some reason this flex 4 code gives me an error but I can't figure out why. In my WindowedApplication I have:[code]That seems like a bogus error since I can assign pref.bounds to rect without an error. I don't know why this isn't working. It works under flex 3 compatibility mode but that also breaks a lot of my spark components so I can't use it.
I have a script that produces random motion along the y axis, however, I want that motion to occur within the movie clip that is centered on the stage, or I should say within the bounds of that movie clip. The movie clip has a height of 335 px
I am wondering if there is an easy way of monitoring whether or not an mc is within the boundaries of another mc while it is being dragged. Currently I am using different equations to determine the leftmost, rightmost, topmost and bottommost points of each mc and then when they are being dragged comparing their x,y coordinates. Is there an easier way... I ask because this seems to be quite a lot of code to get through for such a simple operation, especially when the function containing the code is being called each time the mouse moves..
I"m getting this error with these two bits of AS3:
ActionScript Code: public function tmFlashPlay():void { //Play TubMates Flash tmClip.y = 0; galleryMask.y = 0;

If I'm reading it right it is saying that the index supplied for the child is out of bounds. Yet it is the index captured earler, and I add or remove no children in between these functions being called.
I have a simple MC on the stage. I want to create a simple conditional statement that would check if the mouse is on the rectangle using get bounds. something like [code]Basicaly...how do I properly use the getBounds in a situation like this?
I am trying to make this an kinda interactive map in flash. I will try to explain it for better explanation. Here is an image of the output I have a jpg image(converted to movieclip) which is way larger than the stage.
[code]...
Then I have a mask in the center of the stage and user sees a portion of the map and is allowed to scroll to move mouse around to see areas around the focused city.
[code]...
I put this numbers in by playing around but where are these values exactly coming from. I have tried everything(every possible way) but cant figure out what are these values. I need to numbers to be dynamic so I can change the focus to different cities(for example when a user click A city A should be seen inside the mask and so on).How can I make these values dynamic instead of hard coding them.
So I am trying to save a screenshot using JPGEncoder while in full screen mode. The document size is 100x700, and the stage is aligned to bottom. I've been able to capture the right size, however it always seems to capturing the image from the wrong start x,y position. There is some elements out of bound but I am just trying to clip them.
I am creating an app that has to load a image or swf on to the stage and dynamically place and position it on either sides of the stage i.e. (top, left, bottom or right).how can I dynamically calculate the remaining bounds of the stage using the bounds of the dynamically placed loaded image/swf. ?e.g if the bounds of the loaded clip isRectangle(x=10, y=10, w=250, h=800);What is the remaining Rectangle() to use ofRectangle(0,0,1024,800); ?
e.g if the bounds of the loaded clip is Rectangle(x=0, y=0, w=800, h=50); What is the remaining Rectangle() to use of
DisplayObject.getBounds in actionscript returns the bounds of the object with the strokes included. The left, top, width, height properties of a SymbolInstance in JSFL don't seem to include the strokes. That's the only way I've found to get the bounds of a symbol from JSFL.
I'm trying to remove children from a movie clip upon user interaction but it's saying "the supplied index is out of bounds" - however, I must be missing something because it doesn't seem like anything is out of bounds. This is my code:
Circle.as: for (var i=0; i<3;i++){ //this number should be based on the number of children found in the XML
I'm working with the Flash Api for Google Maps in my Actionscript/Air project. I now need the latLngBounds (the top left, top right, bottom right and bottom left) values of the current view of the map. The function map.getLatLngBounds should do that, but it always gives me a really low lat/lng bounds back. Always somewhere around:
so I tried getting this custom scrollbar to work, but the bounds must be screwed up.Whenever I click on the scroller, it shoots halfway down the screen...it then thinks that the middle of the screen is the top bound and the bottom of the screen is the lower bound

It happens when you drag the scroll slider out of bounds and you release - even when mouse is up the slider still moves. I consider it a glitch. What does somebody has to do to fix it?the code I use for the slider:
Code: Select allscroll_btn.buttonMode = true; var dragging:Boolean = false; var bounds:Rectangle = new Rectangle(-10,-13,0,138);
i have a container that is 100 x 100 and i have various symbols of different shapes and sizes (states for a U.S. map) that i am loading into that box and need to resizesome are bigger, some are smallerow to scale them proportionately larger or smaller depending on their size relative to the container.here's what i have so far
I'm adding a bunch of movieclips to a container clip. I then add that to the scrollpane. When I run scrollpane.update() it gives me the error "The supplied index is out of bounds". From the full error message it looks like it's happening on the DisplayObjectContainer/getChildAt() which is run in the update() method. I thought I had it going once but now it's not again and I can't figure out what I was doing differently.
i'm trying to addChild with an interval, using this piece of code, but I allways get an error saiyng the suplied index is out of bounds.what should I do to have mc1 added then wait lets say a second and add m2 2 and so on?
