ActionScript 2.0 :: Setting Movieclip Alpha From Text File?
Dec 16, 2009
I am currently trying to set a movieclips alpha property from an external text file. The movieclip is called Text_Main_Slide1
The text file:
banner_settings_468x60.txt
which contains:
&Alpha_Main_Slide1=0&
I have currently written:
loadVariables("banner_settings_468x60.txt", 0);
Text_Main_Slide1._alpha = Alpha_Main_Slide1;
which doesn't work.I can however set it manually: Text_Main_Slide1._alpha = 0;
But I need to be able to set the number from the text file.

like my movie container in my _root, how do i set it`s alpha to 0? does this work: _root.contMovie.setAlpha(0); ? or is there any other possibility to set it`s alpha to 0?
the best thing for me would be if i could fade it to alpha via AS command, i can't control it direct because the movieclip is 2 levels above....:-)

I have a MovieClip, named "thing", that's in one position and in another position on the next frame. I added an eventlistener to "thing" to advance frames. Very simple, everything works fine.I then add "thing.alpha = 0.5" in the button's event listener. Now when I publish the file, thing fades but doesn't move.
p.s. For reference, here's the entirety of my AS3 on the first frame:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();
thing.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doClick);

I have 20 frames on a timeline, and a mc in the frames. Frame 1 the mc is _alpha 0%, at frame 20 the _alpha is 100%. A tween between the frames fades up the mc alpha. How can I change the frame 20 _alpha setting from outside the swf file? Say I need the alpha to be 60% at frame 20 BUT I can't open up the FLA, can I adjust the Alpha setting (using Loadvars perhaps) without going back into the FLA? I won't have access to the FLA (when the file is online) and I want to be able to manipulate the frame 20 _alpha setting. I have tried doing this totally in actionscript and not using the timeline, but if I can't get that to work I will need to be able to adjust the alpha parameter without editing the FLA.

I have a MovieClip that has a Dynamic TextField: let's call the instance of the field txtName. I want to set the text field on the fly for txtName, so I add a little ActionScript (3!) that does it nice and easily: txtName.text = "Foo";reat. Now why isn't it working when I try the same thing from a parent MovieClip which contains the MovieClip that has the dynamic text? Example:Child MovieClip with TextField ActionScript 3 in Frame #1:
//------
function SetText(str:String):void {
txtName.text = str;

set the alpha on a loader which is inside a class Portrait. I've got 27 pictures I load through a class. I can set the alpha for 23 pictures. But when I try to set the alpha for 27 pictures the alpha for the first 4 pictures cannot be set. I can set it only to 1. They've been loaded and when I trace the alpha value it states 0.5 for example but nothing is displayed. The strange thing is that this is only so for the first 4 pictures when there are more then 23 pictures to load. I've tried replacing the pictures but that doesn't make a difference.Here is the Portrait class:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;
[code]....
When I change if(i==0) to if(i==6) that is, anything higher than 3 it works fine.

I am creating smiley faces and then copying them to a banner. I have two fla files open, one has the smiley in it and some layers of the smiley are made up of areas with a alpha setting of less then 100%.When I highlight all of the smiley and copy, then move to the other other open fla file that has a blue banner, and 'paste' the smiley pastes ok but all the areas that have an alpha setting of less than 100% have a blue shade to them from the banner. How do I prevent this and retain the colours I had?

I am having trouble setting the alpha of a movie clip (this is a bitmap, if that matters). My code is as follows:
Code:
on (change) {
if (this.getSelectedItem().data == 3) {
set (this._parent.ahouston._alpha,100)}
if (this.getSelectedItem().data <> 3) {
set (this._parent.ahouston._alpha,0)}
}
I don't believe it is a problem with my combobox actionscript, as just putting:
Code:
set (this.ahouston._alpha,100)
in the only frame of the parent movie clip doesn't work either.
EDIT: Now it shows it with 0% alpha, but won't turn to 100%. I was wrong. It is a combobox problem.

If I have a clip already on the stage. how can I go about having code to set the alpha = 0 so that the clip is default invisible. If I set the alpha in the class constructor it gets reset to what its set on the stage. I tried to use the Event.ADDED event since that gets dispatched before rendering too (I think). I mean If I don't have any choice then I'll just set it to 0 manually . Just was hoping to have the capability to set it in code. So that I can still see the clips on the stage just to make it easy for moving them around if I needed to. Where I need to set the alpha so that it takes effect 'after' the default values get applied..

I attempted to build a Flex 4 skin for a Spark button, typical practice. I adjusted the colors and other styles to my liking, including using dot selectors to specify alternate colors and such during different states. However, these are all ignored when the button is disabled. Regardless of what I do, in the disabled state, my button always has the wrong color and is alpha'd to 0.5 (even if I specifically state that alpha.disabled="1"). All the other skin states work as expected. This is my custom skin. If it were working correctly, it would appear to have no shadow or highlight, and would be a gradient grey color. Instead, it appears as a 50% alpha version of the up state (shiny green).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:SparkButtonSkin xmlns:fx="[URL]"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:fb="[URL]"
minWidth="21" minHeight="21" alpha.disabled="1">
[Code] .....
This is the code used to create and then disable the button:
_action1Button = new Action1Button();
view.actionGroup.addElement(_action1Button);
_action1Button.enabled = false;
The error was that _action1Button is not the actual button, rather, it's the container of the button. Doh! Switching it to _action1Button.actionButton.enabled = false; fixed the issue.

What I am trying to do I think is pretty simple.
Consider this code:
ActionScript Code:
var imageContainter:String;
var fileName:String;
[Code]....
This code appears to be working. I'm dynamically creating a bunch of movieclips that each contain an image. The also code stacks each clip on top of each other.
I'd like to be able to now set the alpha or visibility of all of those movieclips to 0 or false, except for the first one. I have other code that will set specific movieclips to display based on mouseEvents.
How do I refer to all of them? And should I be using arrays as well?

I want to achieve the effect on [URL]. The effect on the left on the about page in which when the mouse moves over the alpha of the object goes to 0%. I have all the layers set up with masks and all but need the action script. I tried applying the following code to a mask which I converted to a movieclip.
on(rollover){
this._alpha--;
}
But this did not work for some reason.

Folx; Does the manual document the setting of transparency in TextField.textColor or TextField.backgroundColor, not just the _alpha of the TextField altogether? If so, I cant seem to find it. In addition to the RGB/hex values, the color palette in the Properties panel allows you to set transparency in %, yes, but can this also be achieved programmatically?

If I change some value for a parent sprite, the same value will affect all of its children. So if I set alpha or width on the parent, the child will automaticly get the same value.

I simply have one FLVPlayback component in the background and a movieclip on the layer above with an FLVPlayback component inside it. The first FLV component is constantly looping a five-second video. So all I need is for the movieclip containing the second FLV component to load the right file, fade in, and when the video ends, fade out. Absolutely all of that works... apart from the fading in. What I noticed was that my movieclip was fading in correctly, but the FLVPlayback component was empty and transparent until the fade had finished - then it played the clip. Here's my code, which gets called at random intervals:

I've looked through the scripts in the scripts/ directory, but haven't seen anything obvious.
I would like to be able to specify the file name to capture the stream to. At present, the capture file is always named the same as the stream, which means if I stream for a bit, stop, then restart, the originally captured file gets overwritten. I'd like to be able to incorporate something, i.e. the stream start time, into the capture file name.

I want to assign different formatting to different segments of text in a textfield. I tried assigning a format to a string and then concatinated it to the text and it was not accepted.How would I assign different formatting in the same textfield?
code follows:

var sngTitle:TextField = new TextField(); sngTitle.text = 'Title: ';var sngTtlForm:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); sngTtlForm.font = "Stencil Std"; sngTtlForm.italic = true; sngTtlForm.color = 0xffcc00; sngTtlForm.size = 24; text I want to add to the above textfield:[code]................

It's what this image describes:For some reason, I cannot use bold tags to set the TLF text to bold, even though both the regular and bold fonts are embedded.so that the webpage that embeds this movie can call its function (otherwise the movie itself will be wrapped by TLF).his is not exactly a question since there is an obvious solution to this. Just set the htmlText as something like "<font face='Myriad Web Pro'><b>BOLD</b></font>" and you're done.hs issue is, why does it not render the bold text without the font tag in the first place, if I have already set the font of the TLF text in the PI?

I'm trying to get the letters in a word (each letter is an individual text object) to cycle through three different colors when clicked. Right now, all they do is change from their original color, blue, to black when clicked. No further "cycling" occurs. I'm appending the code. The part of interest is (probably?) in what is presently (and inaccurately) the "traceTextEvent()" function/method. It starts around line 90 of the code.

I'm having difficulty setting the text of a dynamic text field when using an if statementI have a gallery and thumbnails, which gives each image a picNum, ie 1, 2 etc;When I click on the thumbnails, it sets the picNum accordingly.What I want to do is set the caption depending upon my picNum, so I set a function to change the caption depending upon the picNum that is called when the thumbnail is clicked. Ie.
caption = function() {
if(picNum=1) {_root.caption.text = "image 1 caption"};
if(picNum=2) {_root.caption.text = "image 2 caption"};

I posted last week on the topic of getting movieclips to lock into place after you have dragged them in the correct location. Luckily I was able to figure it out by myself, love when that happens.
Anyway, I have a new issue. What I want to do is have a movieclip alpha to 0% when another movieclip is dragged over it. I want to it to happen by 25% each dragOver though. So it starts at 100% then the user drags over and the alpha is at 75% now, then another drag over and 50% etc...
The MC that is being dragged is called ragMC and the one that is alpha'd out is greaseMC.
