Jul 20, 2004
Does Nebdy know where i can find Dynamic Text Effect Tutorials. I'm trying to create a textbox that loads external text and, upon loading, displays the text like its being typed.In addition the new letters fade from white to a shade of blue, and lastly as the letters are being typed a sound clip is played per typed letter
Does anyone know where can i find tutorials or even examples for connecting to a remote web server via XML-RPC. I want to establish connection with the server and call a remote method ...
I was unable to find any good tutorials or hints on terrain scrollers that isn't random.. like a huge world, and a map that points where on the map you are.
As far as I know theres in no way to cahnge the alpha of a dynamic text box. I put one in a movie clip and when i try to change the alpha of it everything else in it changes its alpha but the not the DT box. Could someone plz verify for me that u can't change alpha and help me find a component that allows alpha control with a dynamic text box. thx in advance.
I've got a dynamic text box which imports it's content from an xml file.I now need to create an effect so it looks like that text is being written. There are many ways of doing this with static text I know but the question is: is it possible to create the effect with dynamic text?
I know how to make a type writer effect ...Im having trouble adding textFormat to it as it types though each time a new letter is added it clears the Formatting...does anyone know a way around this? I tried using htmlText = "<b>asd</b>"but then it fails to recognise the tags since its loading one letter at a time, i made and algorithm to recognize a tag and put the whole tag into the htmlTx....but that didnt work either.
I am trying to get a ' Typewritter effect ' on a dynamic text field that imports txt from external txt file. Trying to decipher some code I found in an example that created typewritter effect but text was declared in strings and not reading from external txt file. So I am trying to adapt it some. The effect works but when it runs it only displays my text field instance name and not the actual text from the txt file.
In this tutorial : [URL]...it is said about something for color effect in properties pane. I can see the property pane but I can't find Color Effect. I'm using Flash Professional CS5.5. P.S.- This was my first Flash Tutorial (and that's really first one.)
I really like the text effect Pom used in the footer contest, and would like to use the same grid-type method of creating mc letters but with a different effect. i understand how to change the parameters and shapes of the letters, but can't seem to figure out which piece of code is purely for the explosion effect. basically, i want the letters but with the 'Repel' effect from[URL] here is Pom's AS:
[AS] cellSize=3; radius=10; damp=.85;
[code]....
and here is the .fla using the repel effect using pre-made mc:
I am still using flash MX. I'm pulling random text from a textfile (array.txt) into movieclip instance textbox.[code]All is good, but now my question is if I can have a text effect as well. For example having the random quotes typed out as they appear.
I can't seem to find the "transition timeline effect" at all in flash cs 5. It was in ther previous version before by just right clicking a layer in flash.
i have a problem with the line space flash creates when a dynamic text is loaded in a dynamic text field on the stage i put a dynamic textFild with istance name "profile_text". then im loadin in it a text. my text is written in the Notepad like this
[Code]...
i already set a Textformat to my dynamic text with i tryied to play with the "Leading".. but i think it something dealing with paragraph. how i can decrease spacing between paragraphs??
All I want to do is add text from my string to dynamic text field when I click dynamic buttons. What should the as code be for this? Here is my code. Right now I just have the click returning another shape.
I am creating an upload and view function for my canvas website. The website lets you upload an image and view what it would look like on the wall. As the images are dynamically loaded I need to find the width of the image so that I can position it in the correct place.
The dynamic images are loaded into an empty movie clip called _root.canvas_preview
The code below works fine for finding the width of jpeg's when loaded into the canvas_preview movie but returns no value when the images are gif's, PNG etc. Does anyone know why this is or could suggest another way of finding the width of a dynamic movie clip. I am using Flash 8[code]...
I'm creating a number of text boxs through code. I want to space them out by determining the height (one, two, three, lines of text) and adding 24 pixels space. I highlighted the code in red thats not working the way I want.
Code: var MytextsA:Array = new Array("12345123451234512345123451234512", "secondElement", "thirdElement", "fourth"); var Args:Array = new Array("First", "second", "thirdt", "fourth4");
I am loading an XML file into several textboxes. Each group of textboxes is contained in a movieclip. There is a textbox in each group that varies in height and I want to put each movieclip underneath each other. So I need to get the height of the previous mc in my for loop so I can set the y position of the next mc. I am not quite sure how this is done, but here is my as3:
I'm trying to add some zooming functionality. The problem is that when you zoom in and out, it scales the MC up and down from where the registration point is. This means That when I'm far from the position of the registration point instead of zooming the in straight it also makes it appear as if you are travelling towards the registration point.
To offset this effect I want to calculate the amount of pixels I need to offset the Map by so that it appears as if you are zooming in directly.
So just as a test I've put a little ball inside the map(called "center") which I'm trying to keep in the center of the map.[code]...
I've created a custom component with several inline item renderers that I use as a tooltip. The height of the component is unknown, as the data contents of the component are not known until runtime.
However, when displaying the tooltip, occasionally it extends beyond the boundaries of the flash application, thus, I'd like to be able to detect this occurrence and reposition the tip.
The problem is that the height and width of the component are, apparently, not available until after being rendered by the popup manager. (i.e. they are always 0)But, I do not know any way of finding out when the popup is actually rendered and, therefore, the height/width values available.
I need to have a sprite that acts as a blur filter for whatever is below it... i.e. if its a square on top of a photo, then the photo is blurred underneath the square, but nowhere else. I've seen a few examples where displayFilters were used to create ripple or colour effects, but none that just blurred the image below
how I can replace one movie clip with another when I click on the first one. Below is my code that shows me loading the first movieClip and adding it to the stage and assigning a OnClick listener.
thumbs_button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, playVideoButton); for (var i:Number = 0; i < my_total; i++) { var playButton_url = "play_now.png";
www dot arcteryx dot com (sorry unable post the link){once u are on the site goto mens(top left) >> jackets (left menu) >> click on any jacket}i figured out the magnifying part by masking but the issues that i have are :1. Snap the position of magnifying glass part to the position of cursor.2. make the cursor invisible3. start drag on Rollover (i think i got this)4. stop the magnification as the user rolls out out the specific area (the jacket in this case)
Is there a way to create a dynamic mirror effect that will create a reflection regardless of what is placed above a set line? Meaning, we should not have to duplicate symbols, flip them and create the effect manually. The flash should be smart enough to create the reflection on the fly.
