View 2 RepliesI have 2 main movieclips (mask_mc, draw_mc)I have masked these movieclip..
draw_mc.mask = mask_mc;
inside draw_mc there is a movieclip called item_mc, the above mask must not be applied to this inner movieclip item_mc.
I have made a Actions Script 3 code that fetches an image, does an addchild do it and adding a mask to it aswell.
Everything works fine, except the mask I've made is an animated MovieClip, and this MovieClip hides some spots where 2 or more objects inside that MovieClip overlaps each others.I haven't found how to remove this effect, so the mask is valid on overlaping aswell.[code]...
I realize this is a total newbie question, but it is driving me crazy. In Flash Professional I have a movie clip, say 1000px high and 50px wide. I have it contained within (under) a mask layer where the mask is 100px high and 50px wide. In my program I move the movie clip vertically and as expected it is masked such that I only see 100px vertically.
My question is: how do I remove the mask from my movie clip? When I debug inspect the movie clip in Flash Builder, its .mask property is null. But it is masked..
i made two movies clip movie named (masK_mc) and the other named (over_mc) what i need to do i need when i start drag with (over_mc) and when i moved over the (mask_mc) i need the part of mask_m which moved over by (over_mc) removed and show the bacground of (mask_mc) i made the part of drag and over but i need to know how i can remove part of movie clib when i over by over_mc

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:

what i am doing is to make something along the lines of the "scriptable mask" tutorial Inigo was kind enough to put up.My idea is to have a large mask behind the whole of my flash site, this masks a colour image with a black & white one (nothing tricky). The image I am using is actually 5 separate images combined, and each is a pic of certain parts of the site.I also have a very basic set of buttons along the bottom... each corresponding to each section.
All I want is to set it up so that when I mouse over the buttons, the _x of the mask moves to correspond with the correct image... really very basic... or so I thought .If anything it should be easier to do than what is in Inigo's tut (where he uses the _x of the mouse to move the mask)... i just cant seem to get it to work with a nice easing effect (its easy to get the mask to simply snap to each coordinate, but I need it to smoothly move).
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.
ive gotten one movie clip to mask another in the actions frame but i cant seem to be able to mask the flames which are a shape with a movieclip in this as file. im not getting any errors but the mask isnt covering anything look near the bottom at s.mask=mask_mc; there are about 20 "s" shapes spawning per second if that has anything to do with it
Code:
//this package turns an mc into a flaming button that calls a javascript function

I was wondering if its possible to mask multiple MC or Sprites under one mask, when using AS3.abc.mask = a;cba.mask = a;something like that

Just wondered if I remove a parent movieclip and then set it to null, will it remove all the child movieclips within it from the Display list and also from memory, or do I need to iterate through the parent movieclip removing all its children before removing the parent?

View 0 RepliesAS3 Movie clip does not have .setMask() method, but it has .mask property. What is the syntax to set a mask on movie clip A (mcA) using movie clip B (mcB) mith .mask parameter in AS3?
mcA.setMask(mcB); // does not work in AS3 (no setMask() method any more)
mcA.mask = mcB; //does not do the job either
Is this possible? Cause it "masks" just one shape within the mask layer.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use an irregularly shaped PNG as a mask but the mask is just coming out as a straight rectangle, not taking into account the transperancy of the image.
I've found many people complainng about this across the internet, and it is apperantly solvable, I just haven't been able to figure it out.
I've tried Trace Bitmap to vectorize the shape, since it's a single solid shape, but I'm getting weird results: [URL] I cant figure out why those lines are appearing across my mask. There's nothing there in the actual traced image, I've even ran the eraser over the affected sections to make sure.
1- is there a way to make use of any universal URL in flash ? i mean. not needing to have the full path of the target in the button since the target is in the same folder than the page where is the flash ?
2- now, thats a funny one, i can make mask to make thing appear in an animation fashion style, no probleme as with any Adobe program... however unlike all other Adobe programs, it seem i am unable to find HOW make the exact reversed result... I want to make thing disappear without using the alpha channel, because i want to make it in an animation style way. It is to use for a sub-menu, where when you click the button to open the sub-menu, you see it appear nicely and in an animated way. But when you click again the button to close it, or once you picked your choice, it close the sub-menu in the exact reverse way it was open...
I'm trying to make the image just scroll in with the current mask effect and not scroll out. You can download the source file here: [URL]. The layer to look at is "FlashAICB" there is 2 portions of code, one on the movie clip on this time line, and other on the mask inside the movie clip.

View 1 RepliesI've been making a jukebox that plays mp3s via an xml file and the playlist is doing strange things (I think it's due to using a flash decomplier, as I lost the original fla file!)

However, if I place a simple shape mask above the "snow" layer, it doesn't mask the snow below.
how I might be able to mask the "snow" layer?
I have several pngs I need to load as masks. The user will be making different selections that requires these to be external images. I've managed to get the png working as a mask just fine when I physically place it on the timeline and assign cacheAsBitmap=true to both it and the mc to be masked. But when I try to load the png using loadMovie... it no longer behaves as a mask...
