I'm working on a project right now, where I need to simulate a "scratch-effect" with Flash, however, the setMask method just doesn't seem to work for me. examine my code and tell me what the *beep* I'm doing wrong?

Source-file: scratchtest.fla (rightclick and save)
It's a bit of decoration to go behind a logo. When the dMove var is commented out I get the appropriate line of squares fading in and out at random spots along the x = 78 axis, but when introduced nothing appears at all...

I'm trying to create a cursor that follows the mouse around and leaves a fading trail behind it, and know I would never put something so "1998" on my site, but I thought it would be fun to try and recreate one anyway for my own enjoyment. Okay this is the issue that I'm running into the fading ball cursor does actually work but for some odd reason after about 4 or 5 seconds it leaves a small trail behind it that does not fade all the way, it's almost as if code was resetting and starting all over by dropping the current execution of the code and starting over????
Here's my code. I'm using FLASH CS4 with all current updates
IMPORTED FILES
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, moveBall);
function moveBall(e:MouseEvent):void{
var ball:Ball = new Ball();
ball.x = mouseX;
ball.y = mouseY;
addChild(ball);
var fadAway:Tween = new Tween(ball, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 1, 0, .5, true);
}
How can I refresh the textfield to effect stylesheet on it. My problem is, I have to assign a StyleSheet after assigned a htmlText assignment. I mean, if you set a stylesheet after htmlText assignment it is work, but if you assign stylesheet before assignment a html text it is not effect.
HTML Code:
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.StyleSheet;
var myLabel:TextField = new TextField();
var labelText:String="<span class='defStyle'>Hello world.</span>";
var newStyle:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();

I cant get a spotlight effect with gradientfill to work right i create an object that represents the gradient and then i tween it from small to huge... and draw a box the size of the screen and fill it and on each updateMovement I redraw the gradient with a alpha 0 center and a 255 edge...but it doesnt center right at all...no matter what i do. It always is off Center...(oh Im using Stage.width/height since it needs to be dynamically resized based on browser...)

i dont understand why the easing effect doesnt work on my movieclip_mc ? I see so much fantastic effects we can do but tutorials are not really clear about easing : too much theory and not so much practical demos I m sure something like a basis position and an end position are missing?.

i found this nice Mac OS X Dock Menu effect on [URL] (the second link from the top), the thing is, it only works when it is published for flash player 6 or lower... why it doesn't work when it is published for flash player 7...
View 14 Replieshow the actionscript in this works. i want to be able to make the effect work on different objects and at different sizes..
View 5 RepliesOn the stage I have 3 objects on the stage which are on top of each other:
top: transparent button (which controls the mc underneath)
under this button: an image which is a mc
under this image: a graphic background with text that describes the image, and a new trans button which will send the users to a separate url.
Problem:The button to go to the url does not work.
To make things simply, I have the top button setting the alpha of the mc to 0% onRollover, in order to view the text. And reset it to 100% on RollOut.
how I can still get this effect with the rollovers, and get my url button to work too?
I've created three keyframes on the main timeline, the first is empty, and so is the third. In the second I have a movieclip that contains a classic tween. The movieclip has an alpha of 0 at frame 1, and 100 at frame 15, then at 45 it does the same in reverse until frame 60. On the last frame (60) of my movie clip I have the code:
ActionScript Code:
_root.gotoAndStop(3);
For some reason when I test the movie, the fade effect will not work, and the screen will just be blank. I have the
ActionScript Code:
stop();
Code on frame 2 but none on the other frames.
I googled this online, and almost all of them start with dragging the scrollpane from the component toolbar.
I don't like the way this scrollpane looks. How to change the color, shapes, etc. Can I do this through altering the code, or do I need to start from scratch?
I need help building a site entirely on Flash from scratch. I am a beginner at the software, I know what most tools do, I know how to create basic tweens and stuff, but well, all in all, I'm a beginner. I know absolutely nothing on Action Script (be it 2 or 3), and I want very much to learn Flash now. To do so, I want to put online a portfolio site for me. I already know Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects quite well, so I think now's the time to give it a shoot. On to business:
1. So, first, what size should it be? I wanted it to be something around 1024 x 768 maybe? Is it possible to set an adapative resolution for the site? (I don't know if that's the correct term, what I meant is that the site changes resolution according to the users who are accessing it.)
2. I heard that if you don't use ActionScript to animate things, the site gets mega heavy. Is that true? What should I use ActionScript for when building this website?
3. Is it possible to organize the loading priorities? As in, the order in which things load, so that the site gets a bit more dynamic allocating the user's connection?
4. Are there global standards for Flash-based websites?
For now, I guess this is it. I'm starting this project today, so I'm still not quite sure what other doubts may pop up.
Is it possible to make a Tilecomponent from scratch only wiith AS3 ?I want to make a xml driven dynamic video playlist with thumbs and text description but without a premade flash componenent.The thing I can't understand is how-to to manage the "cellrenderer" from scratch
View 2 RepliesI was wondering what would be the most optimal way of coding something that work this way: There's 10 buttons, you click button 5 (for example) which causes button 5 to gotoAndStop(2) while at the same time it tells all the buttons which aren't button 5 to gotoAndStop(1)

anyways, what i want, is to make the coin only show up when the coin is like... over a "scratchable" box..
Does anyone have any tips for how to approach building a two level accordion menu from scratch? ...or better yet a tutorial? I haven't been able to find anything online other than references to the accordion component which I do not want to use.
Right now I got as far as loading in all the 1st level menu items and their child items from an XML file, when you click one of the 1st level items a function is called which moves all of the 1st level items below the one you click on down far enough so that all of that item's sub items have space, they then attach to that item.
I'm using a for loop within a for loop, is there a better way?
Does anyone know of any good tutorials that will walk me through building an as3 player from the ground up including: clickable seek/progress bar, volume control, and fullscreen support?
Lee Brimelow has a great series of tutorials at gotoandlearn.com, but they are for actionscript 2. He has one new tutorial for as3 video basics but he hasn't gone further yet.
I'm not so good at backwards engineering existing players so I think I'd rather just walk though it. I'd also really like to avoid components and pre-cooked stuff.
I would like to write a very simple 3d engine just to learn it. I have some knowledge about 3d in as3 and perspective concept but I would like to see some tutorial about where to start to build it.
View 3 RepliesIm trying to do a "Pano" 360 flash app from scratch. Using Away3D I should apply an stereographic image very well, everything is working well.But looking in some apps on web (like Panorama), they load only 6 images and somehow they "merge" this 6 images and, I suppose, apply this merge into the sphere 3D. Or it doesnt use a sphere and make kinda illusion of sphere?Could you help me find out how can I merge the images and "apply" those flat, separate images, in my Sphere primitive or, if this isnt the right way, how can I "emulate" those panorama?

View 1 RepliesI have started learning about flash about 3 years ago, I had a shot at making a small application for my boss' website and that went down well... but since this first feeling of flash, this technology has evolved rather quickly. I used to write my scripts in AS 2.0, now AS 3.0 has come with a bunch of new stuff like event listeners and such. I have tried to catch up for the past two weeks but I kind of lack some training on all the new stuff added to or changed in AS 3.0.
So to come to the problem, I have tried to make a pretty simple menu from scratch, I wanted it dynamic so I took advantage of reading data in an xml file. I have created buttons but figured that movie clips were actually more flexible so I went down this way and it kind of works except that when i click one of my buttons, the button_down state works once but not twice, it stays as the button_over state even if i click repeatedly. My script is quite ugly as I could not figure out how to loop the creation of my menu buttons from a single set of movie clips (one for the up state, one for the over state and one for the down/clicked state).
I want to create an online q-bank with questions pertaining to a specific medical board examination. This is similar to the way kaplan and other companies creates Q-banks for standardized exams. The reason: No banks exist for these board examinations
what tools would you use to create a Question bank that has the ability to sort questions by user settings, implement timers, keep track of overall performace, display explanations for each questions, and have the options for video explanations. Is ActionScript up to this task?
