View 4 RepliesI took Kirupa's tutorial on how to make a grassy field (which can be found HERE and it worked out. But now I have a different problem: I need to get all those grassy blades out of my movie at a sudden point. They just need to go, but I can't figure out how to. I tried multiple things:
- Masking the layer doesn't work
- Creating a new layer on top of them all, and putting a black square on that one, which covers everything, doesn't work either
- Changing the alpha of the first blade...nope.
Say I have a flash project, with 3 layers (a, b, c). Layer C is the background, and A has a couple of shapes that masks B. Now I'm just wondering if there's a way to add my objects (MovieClips) to the stage using AS3 and still maintain the masks coming from A, seeing as merely putting my code in Layer B doesn't do the trick

View 4 RepliesI am using loadMovie to load a JPG to a MC. The MC is one of 3 layers under a mask. The mask is not a tween. The image fails to load in the MC. When I move the layer with the MC out from the mask, the JPG loads.
View 6 RepliesI'm having some problems setting _x and _y positions of a movie clip attached (into a clip on a masked layer) using attachMovie. The code should position the clips icon1-8 on the y axis (100 pixels Ipart). The destination movie clip (the one with the actions) resides in a masked layer, I remember reading that there were some problems with masked layers in version 5. (i'm using flash MX). The movie clip is _root.openwindow.files
onClipEvent (load) {
for (var counter=1; counter<9; ++counter) {
this.attachMovie("icon", "icon"+counter, counter);
this["icon"+counter]._x= 37;
this["icon"+counter]._y=counter*100;
}}
I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with the code.. as it works outside the masked layer..
I have two movie clip on the stage. The movieclip mc1 has a masked layer in it self that the movieclip seen like a ring ( like it has a hole in it ) and the movieclip2 is simple square movieclip that is under the movclip1 on the stage. So movieclip2 is seen from within the hole of the movieclip1 but it doesn't catch events when i click mc2 (the movieclip under) from within the hole of the mc1.[code]...
View 5 RepliesI want to mask a movie clip with another one, the mask is a dynamic square which expands to the whole scene.Anyway, I wanted to now what is the relation between the layer of the masked movie and the mask itself,(should they be at the same level or not?) I use the above script:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mask", 22);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("masked", 21);
masked.attachMovie("home_btn", "masky", 0);
_root.masked.masky.setMask("mask");

This is something I tried to do once long ago with Flash MX, and it did not work for me, and now with CS3, I find that the same concept is not working. What I am trying to do is make an animation where the text appears via a masked layer, but I would like the mask's gradient to be revealed in the animation. Here is what I have: And here is how it is being displayed during the animation:
View 8 RepliesI have an empty movie clip(say A) on a layer and then I have masked it with a display object(say a rectangle). Now I have an movie clip(say B) containing a input text field and I am adding this movie clip(B) dynamically in movie Clip(A).
When I compile it, the input text field is taking input for sure, cz I have applied some traces on change event of that field. But the characters inside the field are not showing up.
I followed this tutorial (url...) in order to load text from an external file and apply css styles to it. BUT my problem is that the text is under a mask. Embedding the font results in an empty text box, not embedding a font results in the same thing.
View 2 RepliesSwf I am referring URL...I have an issue with getting my buttons to work when they are masked in the dragable mc (content_mc). Is there anyway of making these buttons work at all as is vital for me to have content in the scrolling mc?URL...It is probably a little messy but have been running around in circles trying to figure it out
View 9 RepliesUsing AS3 to create a basic number guessing game but for some reason the input text field won't accept text input. I can't figure out which piece of code is causing the problem and it's driving me nuts considering it's from a tutorial.
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;

is there a way to make it so when you are done putting something into an input field it will automaticly add/subtract from a dynamic field.Dynamic1 + Input = Dynamic2where each time you change the input text it will readd dynamic1 and input show it on dynamic2

View 3 RepliesIs it possible to login through flash using one Dynamic Text Field and one Input Text Field and no buttons? If so how? I have seen many tutorials dealing with logging in to PHP using flash but it requires you to make your own php scripts which i am not familiar with. Can some one tell me how to do this with PHPBBs existing php scripts... I want to be able to login thorugh a Input Text Field box and have it verify it in PHP and also be able to register and view other PHP info such as users online and FAQ..
View 2 RepliesI'm making a calculator using Flash MX that works the same way as the basic calculator found on windows (not the scientific one). But having the user input a number, store it as a variable, store which function the user wants to perform and clear the text field then store the new input in the same text field as a different variable and multiply or add or divide or subtract the 2 numbers and getting the equals sign to display the answer when clicked is harder than I thought it would be.

View 1 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is to write something in an input field and then it should show up in a dinamic field. I can make this happen, but the problem is that the dinamic field shows its new text in the same format as the Input field. For example, the input text is written in TimesNewRoman and the dinamic text is in Arial, but when the dinamic text shows the input, the text is still in TimesNewRoman when I want it to be in Arial.

View 4 RepliesI am working on a simple art scroller that will scroll images across the screen. It is very simple but my problem is that when I try to use NavigateToURL certain layer/instances will not work unless they are placed on top of the other layers (except AS layer). Other layers seem to work perfectly fine under the other layers. All in all I have approx. 15 layers all with one piece of art, instances at all keyframes and a actionscript layer on top.
[Code]....
IF you copy a motion tween as an AS how do you insert the code so that it still performs the motion?I created a motion tween, copied it, deleted all frames, made just 1 frame, placed the object on the frame (from the library with the same name used in the original tween) pasted the AS onto that frame of the relevant layer but it does not work

I want users to input a number into an input text field called "myNumber" which will be put into a variable.
all the rest of the code works if I just type in a number into actionscript on this line:
var theNumber = 8
But if I try to get the number from the input field my code doesn't work. So far I've tried:
var theNumber = myNumber.text
var theNumber = value(myNumber.text)
var theNumber = value("myNumber".text)
I have an input field where the result is added to a htmlText. The problem is, if the user is goofing around and types a < or a >, they can potentially stop any future additions to the htmlText.
Is there some way I can either:
a) stop the user from typing them into the input field or;
b) delete them upon submission of the entry?
I've played with flash a bit and made a few sites but never with input fields....How would i go about make a input field suchs as: name: (type name here) Job Needed: (blah blah typed in here) and a couple input fields like that......and then when they hit the <submit> button it will send a email to a specified email account........a good tutorial will work.
View 5 RepliesI know how to enter information into a field using a button or an event, but I can't find any material on how to do it with the enter key. I want it so you can just enter something into an input field and press enter, instead of using a button.
View 1 RepliesI seem to remember in an older version of Flash you could have a text field as an integer (whole number) and with a decimal point. Can someone please tell me how to do that in CS4?
