ActionScript 2.0 :: Multiple Mask And Random Image?
Aug 24, 2004
I am doing a multiple mask where an image is being masked by multiple little squares that drop down.I created 2 layers, mask and masked for each square and image.That part works fine, however, I wanted to load a different image everytime when the page loads, I used the example on this site:
choice = Math.round(Math.random()*6);
switch (choice) {
case 0 :[code]...
Now, every little square load a random image instead of all loading the same image. Is it possible to ask all other masked layer to call on that one random image? What should I do?
From this tutorial:[URL] Pretty neat effect, I wanted to use this for a gallery transition, but I have a problem. Does anybody have an idea how to know when image has been completely revealed so I can stop the enter frame listener and remove this growing masks, otherwise this is pretty useless
I have a logo that I'd like to animate for a class presentation. The logo can be seen here: [URL]. I would like only the word LEAF to fade in, and then the blue portion to wind its way around (Starting at the gap at the top, going clockwise and finishing by revealing to two shorter lines in the center). At first I tried to mask the blue portion in segments, but couldn't figure out how to link multiple symbols together to mask the same image.
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.
It's a flash banner with a simple image, and then I want an xml of quotes that get pulled into the banner a mask scrolls in and then when it scrolls out, the words have changed to another random quote?When I mean scroll I mean the quote remains in place but a mask appears (from right to left) that covers the words, once the 'mask has got to the left side of the quote all the letters are gone - the mask the reverses (right to left) to reveal a new quote."Random Quotes from XML mask swap in Flash" isn't getting the right results!
I'm looking for a function for a random moving clip (devined x position) with lets say 5 secons interval, that is also functioning as a mask. But the clips that need to be masked should change in opacity in stead of vissible or not vissible.
I've been putting data into an array via XML, and then selecting at random an image string to load in a pic at random. But whilst doing this, I wanted to remove the String from the Array that I have just used, so I don't get repetition of the same image in the output. I initially thought that pop would remove the string I had just used - But of course it Removes the last value in the Array instead, which doesn't really help.
Ok - so how about randomizing the data once inside the Array, after it has been pulled in from XML!? That way I can load in the 'last' image, and then pop it out! Keeping a randomized selection of images each time 'it' is loaded
I have a mask and I want to take 12 images and put the same mask to it and then loop them.I can apply the mask to one image but would this be easier to do in actionscript or am I completely off base here?
I'm trying to mask multiple shape tweens for a slideshow animation I'm working on. (the transition would look just like the main animation on this page url...)
Everything works fine when I'm only masking/tweening one shape. But as soon as I add a few more dquares to the mix everything goes to hell. Can someone tell me the most efficient way to have multiple shapes tweening, while masking an image underneath them?
im trying to use a mask on multiple sprites:[code]But the mask seems only to affect the last object, that i added to mask (righttxt). Is there a way to use the same mask for multiple sprites?
my issue is this, my users import an image with FileReference and I need to mask it and then send it to server.My problem is this: I'm be able do keep the filereference event and transfer the image data into my canvas. I'm be able to send to server the result of masking.But I'm NOT be able to mask the image that my users have load in my canvas.
I have two MovieClips onscreen, and I want to apply the same mask to both. I set the the masks using
mc1.mask = mymask; mc2.mask = mymask;
Only mc2 receives the mask. How can I set the same mask for two different MovieClips without having to resort to putting them both in a single MovieClip?
I am using Flash MX2004(AS 2.0), I need to mask the attached movieclip, totally I attached 3 movieclip (all are same one), I need to display first movieclip by using mask. One more thing is moving that mask by press button, when I press the button the mask will show the second movie clip and so on.
This is my code: I have to mask box1_mc function cardcolor() { var color:Color = new Color(_root["box_mc1"+i].box1_mc); var t:Number = 0x00FF00; _root["box_mc1"+i].onPress = function():Void { [Code] .....
I am writing an application that looks into an XML file and pulls out the images within. I would like to pull out the raw images and apply a mask to them dynamically.As you can see below i create a blank movie clip and put the images into it.. At this point i want to create the mask.
var thumbLdr:Loader = new Loader(); var thumbURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(galleryDir + thumb); thumbLdr.load(thumbURLReq);
I am attaching six movies via the attachMovie method. I have put all six of these instances into an array and everything's going smoothly as all box's move around in random places and bounce around around a little. Only problem is I want to mask all 6 of these instances via setMask so they are restricted to one area but can't seem to figure out how to do that.If that's not possible I would also love to know if there is a way to do collision testing with them and then I could draw a border around the area I want them to stay in and have them bounce around that (I would actually prefer this)
I have a series of images I'm adding to stage from the library. I need them in separate movie clips for tweening. If I create a new layer... add a shape to the layer... mask the layer... finally, add a layer below that layer (with nothing on it) then all of the images I've added from the library are masked. No matter what I try with code however, I can only get one image to be masked. must you create a new mask for each image you would like to mask? I thought maybe if I could do it all in one go on a layer, there must be some code that allows one shape/mc/object to mask several clips.
I'm having a really strange problem with movieclips that use a mask for reflection. On my main timeline I'm creating two instances of a movieclip named 'item'. In item.as I'm setting buttonmode and cacheAsBitmap to true, then setting a gradient movieclip as a mask. When I run the movie I am only getting the clickable hand icon when I hover over the first clip. However, if I comment out 'this.mask = mask_mc' then both clips are selectable.
Main Timeline Code: Select allvar item_mc = new item(); item_mc.x = 0; item_mc.y = 100; addChild(item_mc); var item_mc2 = new item(); [Code] .....
I'm wondering if I can use a image as a mask. For example, a shape of a dog as a mask. I want to achieve that load in the mask as a jpg or png from disk and apply it to a image. I tried it doesn't work. I don't know if there is something I did wrong.
I recently tried using a png image from the library as a mask for a movieclip on stage. Much to my surprise, the mask is just a rectangle. I expected it to ignore the 0-alpha pixels in the image and just mask out the visible shape. I managed to come up with a work around, but I just wanted to know if it was possible to use a png image as a mask and get the shape of the visible image as the mask as opposed to the whole, rectangular image area. I totally thought it was.
I have this image over which i have a circular crop. The user can move the underlying image and when he is ok with the result hits the crop button. How can i crop only that part of the image which is under the mask?
I want to use a b/w image as a preloader and as the content loads, the image gets colored the same percent. Just like a regular preloaderbar, just that the counter is the color.
I've been playing around with the gallery in this tutorial.[url]...
I was wonderig though, if anyone knows a way to create a mask transition between each loaded image. I fiddled around with it a bit, but can't seem to come up with anything, and I was wondering if it was even possible?
