I would like to perform a hit test on a movie clip which contains a closed outline, but no fill colour.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work in my code. Is it possible or do I have to work around this?
I have a list of 99 item (something like a phone book) and I will like to sort them in different method. Part of the 99 item might be empty, so the requirement is to move the empty field behind the sorted data in every sorting behavior, here the code we have so far:

i just would like to know how to create an "hitTest" script inside a movieclip that is actually part of that hitTest code?I mean... I have mc A, and mc B. and the current hitTest code im using (that is on the timeline) makes mc A, destroy mc B when collide with it... but there are many mc B on the stage (with the same instance name) so, when mc A collide with one mc B, it destroys ALL mc's B... but i want it to destroy only the mc B that he collides, not all the others... maybe an hitTest script inside a movieclip B would work (somethig like "if MC A hitTest ME = i die" (not all the others)).
View 1 RepliesIt has me perplexed. Okay, when you draw a shape in Flash, let's say a circle, it draws a 'fill' and adds an 'outline' automatically. Now let's say I deleted the 'outline' part of it, and am left with just the 'fill'. Is there a way to add the 'outline' part back to the shape afterwards? I have a non-standard shape that I need to add an outline to, but can't seem to figure out how to do it

View 1 RepliesI have created 4 buttons so far and when pressed they change the color of a box on the screen. I will be putting more buttons on the page. When a button is pressed, how can i get a black outline to show around the button to let the person know that was the button they selected--it would then go off when the next button is selected.
red_btn.onRelease = function() {
var boxColor_color = new Color(box_mc);
boxColor_color.setRGB(0xFF0000);

View 1 RepliesI have a circle on top of an image that's fading in and out. When I tween the image, a white border appears around the circles on top of the image. This doesn't happen when the circle is below the image layer, and it doesn't happen with a square. Any idea what's going on?
Below is an image of the hairline white border around the black and blue circle.

Why is it that now if I've got an alpha 0 movie clip on a layer and set the layer to outline, I can't see the movie clip? Outline mode used to ignore alpha!

I'm trying to learn Flash CS5, but having a bit of trouble with the basics. I start a new actionscript3 project and, whenever I try to draw anything, no matter what I select, it always comes out as a plain, green outline. For example, say I want to draw a red, dotted circle It should look something like this, but it will always come out like this
View 3 RepliesI run a school lab with a few users on each machine. One students came up with a problem. She is always in outline view, even when the outline button in the layers panels is not punched. When I log in to the same machine, I do not have the problem. I assume the problem is in the user preferences file. We are on Windows 7. I went into AppData and deleted what I thought was the preferences file, but it continues to return. Anyone have any ideas why I can't get her out of outline view? Adobe Flash CS5

View 2 RepliesI've added some movieclips using addChild and it was working perfectly, and then the next day I loaded it back up and now only an outline, which I guess is the stroke part of the movieclip, is loaded and my collision detection using hitTestPoint also quit working on them.If I instead use gotoAndStop in place of stop and use frame 3 or later then it shows the proper frame and the collision detection starts working again.

I thought that in the past I had seen a tutorial on this site teaching how to have a outlined box scale smaller and larger when a button is clicked, and the size of the box scales to a certain size depending on what loads inside the box. When this happens the outline does not change either. This all being done in most likely actionscript?
Well I have searched extensively and have not found it on this site, which I thought is where I had seen it. Anyway I was wondering if anyone knew of the tutorial or if they could tell me how to do what I have exlained above that would be really awesome!

View 1 RepliesFor a project I wanted to create something, that resembles something like this:- a very detailed waterdrop- some kind of ooze- some kind of amoebaSomething like that. A roughly round organically animated thing, with a darker outline. Now I wondered how to realize this. I basically had three ideas so far.a) I draw the outline with actionscript, using drawing function to create dynamically a shape out of curves, fill it with a fitting color and make the outline more distinct using the linestyle. The problem: I'm not sure if there is any realistic chance to also animate this without using thousands of lines of code.
b) I create several round shapes that are close to each other. All of them have the same color, and I move them slowly around, so that they look like a single shape with a curved border slowly animated. Then I add an outline by creating a thin but very strong glow effect. Problem: These filters take up a lot of processing power, and the Glowfilter will be slightly blurry (beeing a glow filter after all), which is not the effect I want.c) I draw the shapes by hand, give them manually an outline and animate the thing using tweens and stuff. Problem: I don't think I can animate them fluently enough that way.

View 3 RepliesI want to have a different coloured stroke (outline) used on the pie wedge under the mouse from the outline used on the other wedges.

Is there any way of specifying the stroke parameter on a specific wedge?
I develop some components where I use movie clips as skin. In the scene I have 2 movie clips with width 200px and height 100px, one of them I change the width to 200px and height to 100px, well, it should remain the size as nothing happens but it doesn't. The movie clip that I change the size through as3 it's actually getting smaller, and more strange, it only happens when the movie clip has an Outline. The file is attached. It's Flash CS4.
