Actionscript 3 :: Create Masks In It?
Mar 18, 2011I can SEE the maskObject unless I set its alpha to 0 and then it doesn't let clicks through to objectToBeMasked
And every single tutorial that I've seen fails to mention this and how to solve it, as if it should be obvious.
How do I mask objects through AS3 so that the masks act like masks act like the ones added in the IDE?
Create Movie Clips With Masks?
Oct 5, 2010I have an animation I've created of a rotating Earth. I want to turn it into a movie clip, so I can easily use it in other files. The problem is, I can't make it into a movie clip because there are some layers that are masks and they are locked.

Nov 12, 2003I'm trying to create the effect where it seems as if a picture is cut up in a number of pieces that slowly ease to their location where eventually they all form one image again. There must be an onEnterFrame handler somewhere in which the easing is done. I'm not sure exactly how to set it up though. Could somebody please have a look?

Dec 12, 2002I'm trying to create three circles on the stage, one red one green, one blue. When Red overlaps blue, I want the overlapped area to be magenta. When blue overlaps green, the overlapped area should by Cyan. When red&green, it should be yellow, and when all 3 mix it should be white. How do I create the color effect. Right now I have the overlap constraints working and a simple TRACE outputting the color. I need to know how to create the color effect when they mix.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Movieclips Under Masks
Jan 9, 2009So I have a MovieClip, A, and inside of it is a layer that has shapes on it for a mask, this layer does have some keyframe animation (the masks move). Then I have MovieClips on other layers that are masked by the masking layer. When the movie loads, I load in an external jpeg and draw it onto a bitmap object, and then use that bitmap object and attach it to the moviecilps that are masked. This works fine, until the animation hits the part where the masks actually animated, then it reverts back to whatever i had in it before i attached the bitmaps. Is this a bug? or am i missing something? the only way i can get it to work is to run a function every single frame that the mask changes to reattach the bitmap. but that seems quite unefficient to have to do

View 3 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Multiple Masks For 1 Mc?
Apr 2, 2005I have this problem that has been makin me crazy. I want to make an erasor for the drawing api basically. Since I wasn't able to accomplish it, i looked everywhere!!! no luck So far I have been able to "erase" with shapes. For instance, I can drag a circle out and see the masked item underneath. The very next shape I drag out cancels the mask from the previous shape as if you can only have 1 mask per maskee. Also, I cant get a line drawing to become a mask.
//creating the shape
_level3.drawingPlane.createEmptyMovieClip("layer"+ _level3.layer+"_"+i, _level3.layer);
// dynamically setting the mask_level3.water.setMask(_level3.drawingplane["layer"+_level3.layer+"_"+i]);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Masks From BitmapData
Oct 17, 2009I'm trying to modify the alpha layer of a bitmapData by taking a source iamge and masking out areas that don't have the correct channel. ATM I'm using copyChannel to achieve the effect, but I'd liek more than 3 channels (use alpha kills the other channels it seems). 255, 0, 255 should be able to act as another mask.
This is what I'm doing now...
Code:
bitmap.bitmapData.copyChannel(tempMask, new Rectangle(0, 0, tempMask.width, tempMask.height), new Point(0, 0), BitmapDataChannel.RED, BitmapDataChannel.ALPHA);
So the red parts of the image mask out the source image. All I want is to be able to mask out things basic on multiple channels (the lesser of the 2).
1) How does copyChannel work? Can I just test each pixel manually and achieve relatively similar speeds? and 2) if the Flash inline functions are infact faster, is there a function that can do what I want, or would it be better to use a shader?
Code:
var tempBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(tempMask.width, tempMask.height);
var matrix:Array = [];
matrix = matrix.concat([0, 0, 0, 0, 0]); // red
matrix = matrix.concat([0, 0, 0, 0, 0]); // green

View 1 RepliesGetting Error When Creating Tweens And Masks
Oct 22, 2009When i create a new motion tween for example, i get the yellow "!" error in properties and it says "Motion tweening will not occur on layers with ungrouped shapes or on layers with more than one group or symbol". Thing is, i dont have more than one symbol or thing more than one shape and that is actually being tweened.the ! error only shows when i select the last frame in the tween. any ideas how i can get around this? i've never had this problem previously.
when i create a motion tween, i draw the object (in this case a circle), right click on the single keyframe, select create motion tween, then copy this keyframe and paste it further down the timeline, say at frame 10. At frame 10, i will move the circle to another location. the tween seems to work and it has created the symbol in the libary (tween 1) as a graphic, and when i export, it works ok, but the last frame has still the same error with the "!". Same thing happens with shape tweens.
Actionscript 3 :: Working With Masks In Flash?
Jan 12, 2010I'm having a hell of a time trying to get a custom mask to work on a project I'm creating.The mask I'm trying to use is applied as a pixel mask on a layer in the photoshop doc I'm working off, but I can't seem to figure out the proper way to get that layer mask imported into flash, to then compile into my .swc and be called from actionscript. (I'm coding in Flex)Whats the proper workflow for getting a pixel mask imported from photoshop so that when I call:
container.mask = myMask;
It'll show up as the shape I want, and not just a square box the size of my shape?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Finding Masks In MovieClips?
Nov 7, 2009I'm trying "get" the masked objects in my MovieClip object using something like:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:uint=0; i<myMC.numChildren; i++){
if(myMC.getChildAt(i).mask!=null){
maskedObject = myMC.getChildAt(i);
break;
}

It goes through myMC's children and never finds a masked object even though myMC does have a mask in it. I made myMC in flash, so is that the problem? And how would i access the masked object otherwise?
