ActionScript 2.0 :: ScrollPan - Bounding Box With Mask Over Text
Mar 14, 2004
See the scrollpan with the news on the main page? [URL]. I have tried tons of things, but haven't gotten something I want.. I have made something just now that works like that, except the text doesn't work completely... Basically, I have a bounding box with a mask over the text I want...Code I use (and this is applied to an MC with the whole "container" pan")
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
diff_y = bound_box._height-scroller._height;
bounds = bound_box.getBounds(this);
top = bounds.yMin+(scroller._height/2);
bottom = bounds.yMax-(scroller._height/2);
function updateScrollbar() {
[Code] .....
My problem is basically I place my content box in the mask and it will start the whole thing at half way... the box will scroll and everything works. it's just that the content starts half way, so half the box will be empty towards the bottom.

Is it possible to make a bounding circle instead of a bounding box?The objects should bounce INSIDE the circle.I have now a bounding box outside the circle, but the objects exceeds the circle at the corners.
I was thinking of making an array of Points on the edge of a circle and when the object is < or > then do something... but that would be a lots of if/else statements.

I am trying to do some text effects by using a text mask but I can't get the mask to work. I can successfully mask a circle over a rectangle, and even mask a rectangle over text, but text over a gradient rectangle just doesn't work - I end up with the rectangle moving across the stage, but no text mask.

I want to add a line of text to a small mask - the mask reveals a portion of an image underneath - the user drags the mask around the stage
2 movie clips
1. an image that fills the 900x700 stage
2. a 200x200 rect with blur that acts as a "window" to the image
The code below works fine (almost - see comment) but how do I add text to the mask?
img_mc.mask = mask_mc;mask_mc.buttonMode = true;img_mc.cacheAsBitmap = true; // for the blur
mask_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dF);
mask_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,

I'm working on making a news scrollpane thingamagig. I have a movieclip called "entry" with textfileds (basically it's just a header bar and a bottom border bar with two textfields). These are dynamically attached based on the number of xml nodes into a holder clip and I have that holder clip masked and for some reason the entry movieclips will show, but the actual text doesn't. when I get rid of the mask then the text shows.

Hello Flash World, Ok, I may have posted this question before but I am still confused. I have a Master Movie Clip that has a Mask over it. By having that mask I can't view my dynamic text box that is scrollable. How do I embed a font so I can view my dynamic text box? (Im using AS2) attach is a file that explains my problem.

I'm trying to set a mask on a mc containing dynamic text. But, the only thing that are visible, are graphics, not text.
When i remove the mask, the text comes back.
i heard that i have to embed my fonts for that, but how can i do it?

I've been trying to dynamically change some text for a titlebar that is behind a mask
However, I find that when I change the text of the dynamic text field (whose containing movieclip is masked by a graphic), the text no longer appears at all.
When i remove the masking, the text changes properly when asked, but when it it masked, the text does not show at all.

I'm relatively new to Flash, and I�m in the process of creating a flash intro to my website. The problem is, whenever I preview one of my Mask layers by pressing Ctrl+Enter, the mask effect doesn�t work � it merely shows the masking object. The puzzling thing for me, which leads me to suggest that the mask should work is that in the normal timeline view, when I lock both the mask and masked layers and press Enter or slide through the frames � the effect works perfectly. On Ctrl+Enter all of my other Masks work fine as well - the one in question has text as the mask content.
It only stops working when I view it as an .swf file or play the movie with Ctrl+Enter. Does anyone know why this is happening, how I can get around it, or whether it will be a problem when published?

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've discovered the joy that you cannot display dynamic text boxes if they are masked.After browsing the internet I found a few things to try, first embedding the font, which I have done, and that didn't work.The other solution involves setting the mask to a display object, which I've done, sort of.I create a Sprite() in code (I use Flex Develop, and never code on the time line), then use the Sprite.graphics to draw the mask, then set my main stage movieClip's .mask property to equal this layer.

I am trying to make a gradient mask over my text. It looks great the gradient fills the shape of my text. When I publish the flash video the text and gradient switch. The text is no longer masked and I cannot seem to figureThe top half is what it looks like inside the IDE, the bottom half is when it's published.

i have the AS setting the mask, and my fonts are embedded.. but the dynamic text doesnt mask my other movieclip.my dynamic text is "fly_in" MC with the text field inside. the MC label is: "headerTxt_mask" the sheen is labeled "sheenMC" and put in a layer below "headerTxt_mask" in the same "fly_in" MC then on the first frame of my scene i have:
ActionScript Code:
fly_in.sheenMC.setMask(fly_in.headerTxt_mask);
The dynamic txt field is supposed to be the mask for the sheen, so all you see is the sheen...

So I have a text which is saying for instance "hello". And when i press a button there is an animation which starts to erase the "hello" text and a pencil is writing a second text. So somewhere in the middle there is a blank text holder( i mean the place where the text is suppose to be)! The question is - is there a way with code when the animation have reached a certain frame to change the text because i can't do it with animation!

Mask causing text under it to appear to move...I have a mask that scrolls to the right over text.Before the mask comes on stage the same text is on a different frame before it in the exact same coordinates. But when the mask appears it makes the text under it seem to slightly move to the left. I've realized it is the mask that makes this seem to happen.I'm probably not doing something right with the mask, but I'm not sure.

I have a dynamic text box and i want to mask it but its not working. i remember once someone was showing me something that had to be done to a dynamic text box to get _alpha effects on them and I wonder if its the same thing. Problem is, I don't know what that "thing" is.

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:

I have noticed when setting a bounding box on a drag object, if you go outside the bounds of the box you have set, the mouse won't let go of the object unless you go back inside the bounds and click on it again. Is there any way to force the stopDrag if you go outside the bounds while dragging? I have tried this bit of code:
