View 6 Replieshow to make a flash background go from solid to transparent? I know how to make it transparent all of the time, but I want the SWF to play, the background is there, and when it's done I need it to fade away...
View 1 RepliesI am making a flash video game. You will have control of a spaceship that is going to go to space. I made a 550x30,000 JPG file in photoshop to use in flash as the background for the game. 30,000 pixels is about what I need to make a good scale of the earths atmosphere because earths atmosphere is about 36,000 feet high and I was goign to use a scale of 1 pixel = 1 foot.
When I import the jpg to flash and test the movie instead of my background all I see a a plain red box in the movie window. It fills the whole stage. This led me to think that there could be a pixel limitation. If so what are the limitatoions and how can I get around them?
I have a few movieclips that I am fading out alpha with actionscript
The problem is the MC is not a solid shape, it has layered shapes in it, so you can see all the shapes within it fading indivually
Is there a way of fading an MC as if it were a solid (bitmap?)
Is there an easy way of converting a vector mc into a bitmap in actionscript?
I'm trying to simply draw a solid shape consisting of various other shapes, however, when I overlap two shapes, the overlapped area becomes transparent again. For instance:
Code:
var myShape:Shape = new Shape();
myShape.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
myShape.graphics.drawCircle(10, 10, 25);
myShape.graphics.drawCircle(20, 10, 25);
myShape.graphics.endFill();
this.addChild(myShape);
The above code is AS3, but I believe the same thing happens for AS2 as well. The overlapping area between the two circles is not clack.
I am currently creating a game in which the character is stationary in the middle and the world moves in relation to the character. When the character is not moving and not touching anything, I need the world to shift upward to meet the character and stop on collision detection. The problem is I have no idea how to conceptually make this work.
making assets "fall up" and stop when colliding with an object (basically reverse gravity).
I have buttons that load SWF files. when i test the SWF they have a solid background. However, if i use a button to open the swf they have transparent/no background, yet you can still see the contents of the swf.
How do i get the SWF to have a solid background when opened by buttons?
I'm building a map editor for a project and need to draw a hexagon and fill it with a solid color. I have the shape correct but for the life of me can't figure out how to fill it. I suspect it may be due to whether the thing is a Shape, Sprite or UIComponent. Here is what I have for the polygon itself:
import com.Polygon;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
public class greenFillOne extends UIComponent {

Fairly new to ActionScript 3. I am creating a series of solid rectangles which will be acting as butttons for my site, a new rectangle is created by looping through an XML List, 1 rectangle for each title in my List. They will be displayed 1 above another down the left hand side of my screen.
What I want to do, if possible, is create a vanishing point on the right hand side of my screen which the rectangles will use to alter their perspectives.Obviously the rectangles with a far different Y position to the vanishing points, will display with a greater perspective.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to duplicate this type of mouse trail. I can't tell if it's deforming a movie clip or drawing separate objects on the stage. I can duplicate it at slow speeds, but at a fast speeds I have no idea how they're doing it.
The MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE is way to slow on the update to draw exactly where the mouse is going so I tried using curveTo to create a curve but unfortunately you still hit a point where you get a sharp angle.
I have series of Bezier curves that I want to revolve about an axis to form a solid model in Papervision3D.How would I do this? Has someone created a class for Papervision that can revolve a curve to form a solid?
View 2 RepliesI'm using Arial for my content font. I'm trying to set it up so that there's pretty solid edging.
Code:
var antiAliasEntry_1:Array = new Array({fontSize:12.0, insideCutoff:0.61, outsideCutoff:-3.43});
var arialTable:Array = new Array(antiAliasEntry_1);
TextRenderer.setAdvancedAntialiasingTable("Arial", "none", "light", arialTable);
I think it's that insideCuttOff needs to be smaller, and outsideCutOff needs to be further in the negative direction. But when I do that, there's no much of an effect. Here's what my text looks like now:
I am just starting with 3d flash concepts and I was checking this tutorial:[URL]I wonder if there is a tutorial showing the same movement but with a solid cube. I fact, what I want to achieve is this effect:[URL]
View 2 RepliesFor example, I have a transparent png file, the shape is a car.In the png file, I only draw the white border shape.Outside and inside the border are all transparent.
I want to use actionscript3 code to show the car object with different color, it means only fill color inside the border, and for the outside of the border, keep transparent.How to do that?
So far, the simplest workaround is to prepare many images with PhotoShop, but it's not good enough for me. When I have many shapes and use many colors, I've to prepare many many images.Add more details:(Because I'm using white border, you may not see the basic png file if your background of browser is white)
Is there way to use bitmap fills instead of solid colors for the Coloring Book by Zelwyn?I want to color shapes with bitmap fills. If the user changes his mind, then he could recolor the shape with a new bitmap.It would be the exact same as the coloring book, except using image bitmap fills.
View 4 RepliesI'm having an issue with solid backgrounds showing up behing transparent PNGs in Flash. I know this isn't a lot to go on, but I have no idea what is going on here, My client sent me the attached image.. This is what they are seeing (the green box behind the top of the vehicle). I am not seeing this. Apparently this box, and other similar boxes show up during image transitions.
I am using Tweens to fade between different models and colors of the vehicle. I was originally using Caurina/Tweener, and experienced similar issues myself, but since switched to using the built in tween class, and am not seeing any problems anymore, but apparently my client is.You should be able to see the attached image. You can also view the demo link, to see if you see any issues yourself with the PNGs fading in and out....(you'll have to sit through the intro, then click EXPAND on the final frame)
Is there anyone that can write a really basic physics engine including 1 ball and 1 solid object?
So it should be 1 ball and then 1 solid object like a box. The box should be completely solid, the ball shouldn't be able to go through the box, it should just stop when hitting it at any angle.
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 have several movie clips of the main character (one for each primary and secondary direction), each of which contains 7 or so layers, one for each body part, and each layer then has about 6 keyframes, each keyframe containing a different graphic of the body part.All I want to do is create a shadow of the character. Originally, I just duplicated the main character movie clip, changed the _yscale, _rotation, _alpha and applied a color via setRGB(). It sort of worked, but because I was applying the setRGB() to the collective group of graphics having multiple colors, the variances showed up in the shadow, so you could make out the character's features.

View 3 RepliesIf you go here: [URL] and click the first movie, it calls in an external swf. A dark gray overlay appears, and the text and buttons fade away.I did this using a pretty newb method: by simply fading in the background in the external swf.Makes me cringe though, 'cause it adds an extra 300kb to the file.There was to be a non-newb way to do this.

View 1 RepliesIm currently try to construct a flash presentation that will have several different buttons on the same stage, and each button when clicked will make particular objects appear on the stage. Then once each button is clicked again it will make the particular objects connected to it disappear from the stage. Each button and the objects it makes appear / disappear is seperate from all the other buttons actions.
construct the actionscript for this presentation as im finding it quite complicated to have several things going off on the same stage at the same time. Im currently working in Flash CS4 actionscript3.
The closest example i have seen to the program i would like to create can be found using the following link...[URL] However my program would be simpler, e.g. clicking the bun in the program just simply adds the bun to the screen, it doesnt scroll through different types of bun.
lets say I have animated a car entering the stage area from outside the stage. When I render the SWF at first only the content on the onstage area is visible but if I resize/enlarge the window I can also see the car(content) lying outside the stage just like in the flash file. How can I make sure that no off stage content is visible at all in the final SWF?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to develop a SWF Api that consists of a game that makes random objects fall from the top, each of them has different points, and then the points the player gets should be stored into a dinamic text called score, when the player doesn't take the ball, loses a life. Then, if the player catches it, the ball disappears and gives the points to the player.
View 3 RepliesI would like to make an Object that has key names taken from a variable. Probably this is not clear enough, so let me make an example.
I have two variables var str1:String = 'firstKey'; and str2:String = 'secondKey';
How can I make an object that would look like:
var obj:Object = {firstKey: 'some value', secondKey: 'some other value'}, note that firstKey and secondKey are values of variables str1 and str2.
Doing obj = {str1: 'some value', str2: 'some other value'} does not yield a result that I would like
