ActionScript 2.0 :: Movie Clip Filters Not Showing Up In SWF Preview
Jul 11, 2011
So I'm making a game and I want the background to be blurred. I did that, and I see it blurred, but when testing the movie in SWF form, there's no blur effect on it... this never happened before.
The only thing I can possibly think of is that the background, along with everything else, is programmed to move when you press the arrow keys... could filters possibly just be removed if you program it to move?? I'm using Flash 8 with AS2.

I have a movie clip that is simply a rectangle with no stroke color and a fill color of red. I applied a glow filter with a green color and it glows. So far so good. I pulled another instance of the same MC and changed the instance's color to blue by changing the tint. Then I applied the green glow filter but the glow is blue and not green!
I pulled another instance of the MC and changed the instance's color to yellow by adjusting the Advanced effect from the properties of this instance. Then I applied the green glow filter but the glow is yellow and not green! Somehow when I change the instance's color through tint or advanced the glow filter does not work as expected. What is the proper way to change a MC's instance color and apply a filter to it?

In frame one of "Scene 1" i have a movie clip that acts as a scrolling image banner, scene 1 is only 1 frame long and there is no scene 2 yet, or any other frames, But, when i preview, or publish, the scrolling image movie clip disappears, for like, no reason. theres no actionscript in any of the frames at all so that wouldnt be causing it somehow.

I'm having a problem with component live previews. If I just create a movie clip and set the live preview, all instances of the clip i put on stage update separatly from each other (their live preview that is). As soon as I change the clip to a component (export .swc or compiled clip) all the instances update together. eg if i set the component parameter 'title' - all titles of the all the instances on the stage will change. This didn't happen when it was just a movieclip - all instances changed separatly as i set them.

I'm trying to display an image in a movie clip where the location of the image is derived from an xml document. I'm creating a menu from XML nodes and when the user selects that menu item a separate movie clip is updated with the XML information which corresponds to the menu items nodevalue. In my xml i have an image location defined and I want this to happen... when the user selects the menu item the node value for the image location dynamically loads the image into the movie clip.

I have a movie clip that has an image on it.
I want to dynically open this movie clip and move it to a specific location (x,y) on the main timeline on top of everything else.
Then I want to draw lines on that new movie clip that display on top of the image on that movie clip.
how to draw the lines, (well at least I think I do)
Code:
_root.audiogram.lineStyle(2, 0xFF0000, 100);
_root.audiogram.moveTo(0, 0);
_root.audiogram.lineTo(200, 150);
_root.audiogram.lineTo(100, 50);
I also need to be able to clear the lines that are drawn.

Here is what i want to do contextually. I am making an interactive skeletal diagram of a back, each vertebrae is an independent button. As each button is rolled over, i want a box next to the button to show with the name of the vertebrae inside it.
How I am trying to do it:Each button is independent, as inside it is a bitmap picture of the skeletal section. All of the boxes are instances of a single movie clip located on the same timeline level as the buttons.. instances named BBox1, BBox2... through BBox26. Inside each movie clip i have a symbol that is the box named 'sbox' which is the graphic box that pops up and in the layer above a dynamic text box, named 'ttext' which is populated at runtime with the proper text to reference the button.
I am easily able to reference each sbox symbol individually from outside the movie clip... i.e._root.skel.BBox1.sbox._alpha = 0;.
I am not having the same luck with the ttext dynamic text. I am wanting to set the text inside each instance of BBox progmatically, but the text will not show unless i set it to static and type it manually before compile(in which case the text for all 26 boxes is the same). I have tried all methods of reference, even prepopulating the dynamic text box with text before compiling and it still shows nothing. This does not seem like a coding issue but a use of dynamic text inside a replicated movie clip with unique instance names.

I'm using CS3 with ActionScript 3. I'm a designer by training and have been tossed into coding by happenstance. My perfect scenario: User sees an easily navigable list of colors, each with swatch (like a small square) and name (text). (I basically want something like the InDesign color swatch list, in dropdown or list form.) She selects a color. Appropriate movie clip is filled with said color. First of all I'm not even sure what component to use. I had a ComboBox that was working great except for only showing color names, not swatches. I could use a custom data provider with the ColorPicker, but the user needs to see our assigned color names.
Is a TileList my best bet? If so, how do I set up a TileList with color swatches and names to then change the color of a movie clip when the user selects a color? I can make it work (except for swatches showing) with my data provider set up with color name in the label spot and hex value in the data spot, with simple code of this sort:

Whenever I open a new movieclip in Flash, the stage size is distorted (should be a 600 x 450). It should be a rectangle and be placed in the middle of the screen. Instead, when I open a new movie clip, the stage is placed all the way to the left of the screen and I only have pasteboard on the right hand side. Because of this, I can't see the entire stage

I am creating an interactive canvas where a user can click on items (movie clips) in the canvas and the movie zooms in and displays the item.
The problem is when I add filters to these items some of them disappear in a minute or so.
here is the code:
public function setEffects(){
var BackValue = MovieClip(root).BackZ;
var halfChange = BackValue / 2;

I'm having some trouble with getURL (I think). It works fine when I preview with Flash's html preview but it's not working on my server. It's pretty simple. [URL].selected1 is a user-defined variable pointing to a page: ie, when the user selects variable page1 the page to be opened is [URL]. Like I said, it works with Flash's preview, but not on my server(no 404 or any response). Does there seem to be a problem with my code or might I be overlooking a server error? Here's my code:

My searches have led me into some overcomplicated solutions. I'm using Flash to create a simple .swf that contains a movie with subtitles. I'm sure there are better ways but this is the easiest and I have been too long gone from developing in Flash and uBer rusty.
I used the movie importer, added captions exported my movie. All works great. The movie is set to NOT auto-play though and fades in from black so when the user first sees it they just see the skin and a black box. What I would like to do is have a preview image appear instead of the black first frame until the user plays the movie.

Working in Flash CS4. When I publish my flash movie it opens fine on my computer but when I copy the folder with all the contents to another computer the skin show up fine but I get a white box where the movie should be. The same goes if we try to place it on a website.
When I'm in flash should I be going to
File Publish or
File Export SWF
To be placed in a website.

I have a project with a bunch of movie clips. Each movie clip has it's own animation. The problem is I can't see the movie clips on the stage, I have to test the movie. Live preview is checked, but greyed out. Is there anyway to live preview working on main stage?

I have created many flash video over the years so I definitely know how to embed an flv into flash. Also, it is very hard to screw up the import video wizard in flash so I have eliminated that as a potential problem. I haven't created a movie in quite a few months and yesterday I tried to create one. I used the wizard in flash to import the working flv and when i hit ctrl+enter to preview, a blank white screen showed up. When I right clicked, it said movie not loaded. So I tried to use AS3 and netconnection to embed the movie. When I previewed it, the same thing happened. I then went to view one of my existing swf's that did not have a video and that did not work either. I searched and found the adobe flash player security preferences and changed settings and NOW I can view swf's that do not have video. I can ALSO view old swf's that have video embedded BUT as soon as I open the original fla file and press ctrl+enter to preview, the swf's DO NOT preview anymore

I have a flash project that I have been working on for a while, today its stopped functioning properly. To be clear. It still runs JUST FINE when I preview it (CTRL+ENTER), but when I publish the file and run the SWF file, or the HTML file the movie no longer functions properly. Specifically any ActionScript from the main timeline seems to no longer be functioning. ActionScript contained within movie clips continues to function properly, but nothing else.There is about 400 lines of code right now (variables, functions etc.)

The only thing that has me puzzled is the preview field. Basically i have a background which is a movie clip, it basically transforms from the loader to the background (over 70 frames).
is there a way to have the preview field for the root movie display a child movie at a frame other than frame 1? At the moment it looks like this: [URL]
But i'm wanting it to look like this: [URL]
It would help or positioning other items if i had the background displayed how it will actually be?

when i Control > Test Movie with an animation, the preview is not cropped to the stage size.i see eveything out in the grey, which i don't want to see. i just can't find the right settings, if they exist.i'm assuming the stage is akin to the page bounding box in illustrator, so test movie should behave like 'print preview'?

I am pretty new to ActionScript 3 and Flash. I don't want my movie clip to play unless the person's mouse curser is on the movie clip for more than a second. If the person just runs their curser over the movie clips really quickly, then it should do nothing. It must be more than a second. How do I code that?

I'm creating a small drag & drop activity, and I want to be able to check and see if the dragged movie clip is completely within the bounds of another movie clip (or at least in the bounds of a certain x/y zone on the main stage. I can't use dropTest because it returns true if any tiny bit of the movie clip overlaps with the dropTest movie clip.
I also thought of something that just checks the x/y coordinates of the dragged movie clip, but I'd need this to reflect a range of values rather than one coordinate. For instance, I'd want to return true if the movie clip's x is between 50-60 AND the y is between 50-60. I'm attaching a small graphic to illustrate in case my explanation isn't clear enough [URL]
