I am trying to implement a house painting application. I've done it so far that I can draw a shape(creates a movie clip) and fill it with any color. But now I don't know how to "make holes"/transparent areas into a certain movie clip for windows or anything that should not be colored so taht the backgorund will be displayed. [URL]

View 1 RepliesI am making a game. And this time trying to implement menu (-->tutorial) -> game-> scoreboard -> game over screens.
These screens themselves are quite different in terms of structure. So i am not sure if states is a 100% correct approach here (as I understand states are good for similar layouts) From the other hand many of them has back button to return to previous state, e.g. in tutorial I will have start game and back to menu buttons, etc.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a scene which has an image of a house. The image zooms and the stage area contains just the door (giving effect of getting closer to the door. initially you see the entire house and as you move closer, you see only the door).
I have placed an image of a house on the stage (which fills the complete area), converted to symbol and created a motion tween. In the last frame, I am scaling the image so that stage area contains just the door. The problem is that once enlarged, the image is not cropped, but the entire image is there. When playing in the flash player, If I maximize the flash player, I can see the rest of the house too, enlarged.The other problem is that since after enlarging the image, it takes too much space on screen, it makes difficult to work with other symbols on the stage. Also, it is difficult to position the image since I can't see the stage area under the enlarged image.

Is there a way to publish and end up with a .ipa that can be used for "In House" distribution?

I just want to create an in-house app for pricing and inventory. It's a unique business, so selling it isn't even an issue, but I don't want to have to spend another $99 just to try it out and see if this would be something we'd use long-term.So, can I make an iPad app just for myself without anything extra?
As a best practice should trace statements be removed form all AS once we're on the final files? Or does it not matter and therefore best for future reference to leave them be?

I am dynamically creating moviclips.. when I create a movieclip(mc1) this movieclip present a wall(for painting).. On this wall I create several windows(holes) which a present as mask for a wall, so that only the color of the wall is viewed, but the window is transparent..
when I am done with this I have for example 3 walls(mc1, mc2, mc3) with masks included..now on a button action I want to enable each movie clip for painting->painting is done so that you pick a color in a palllete and then click the wall you want to paint.. I do this with this code:
btn_color.onRelease = function(){
for(i=1; i<=stMC; i++) //stMC is nubmer of created mc's
{
[code]....
The code works great for the last movieclip created.. but when painting others it paints the entire wall in chosen color, so it colors the transparent windows(were set as masks as well)..

View 8 RepliesI'm developing a word game for mobile and I'm trying to solve a bug:I have many squares with letters and when the user mouses down (or touches) a letter, the app starts to put together a word. Every letter that is moused over is added to the word and I have a textfield that shows the current word the user is trying to put together.Every letter added to the word (text.change event) I check if this is a word that is available in my dictionary (array of words). If this word is correct and exists, I want to paint the color of the textfield showing the word so the user would know that this is a valid word, even if he doesn't know the word.
My problem is that this code runs and traces correct and in the right moment (the trace "word exists" is being called when I add a letter that makes the word valid. But the painting of the word just happens when the text changes again. This causes the app to make the word blue after adding or removing a letter from a "valid" word, but in this case I want it to happen immediately when the user reaches a valid word.Can the problem be happening because the mouse is down?
Code:
if (dict.wordExists(word))

I've recently decided to trace over an animation from a cartoon as a reference for my own animation that I am making. Now, my hang up is that I use the line tool for the tracing, and then convert the lines to paint so that I can shape them better to match how the characters from the show look. Where the legs connect to the body the line get gradually thinner from where it started.
I don't have a tablet and trying to do it with the mouse leaves too many lumps. The results are not acceptable, nor efficient. In all, I have about forty frames to optimize my traced lines, to the good looking tapered paint. The show was done in flash, so I know it must be possible in CS5. Aside from the subselection tool (Which horribly warps my lines and is extremely tedious for a frame by frame animation), does anybody know a more efficient way to do this?
I'm currently working on a few small paint programs designed to emulate certain famous painters. I'm using a pretty basic AS2 painting program and simply manipulating it to my needs, but have run into a few problems that trial and error have not been able to fix.For two of the programs I would like the up and down arrows of the keyboard to change the size of the brush, which is currently set by the variable ranWidth (one of the other programs uses random widths for the brush).For one of the programs, the left and right arrows will increase or decrease the paint opacity.One of the programs will be a pointillism style drawing program, so instead of drawing a line as it does currently, I'm trying to have it draw a series of dots, without having to click down every time.Third, my color selection right now changes randomly each time the user clicks down. This works fine for some of the programs, but others it really is neccesary to choose a color. I've tried creating buttons with on release functions that would change the color variable but havn't got them to work properly.I know its a bit of a list but I think most of the coding is fairly simple, I'm just new to actionscript and trying to learn the ropes. I've used keys to change items before but am not having any luck.Here is my basic script for one of the painting programs. This one simply draws lines in different colors at random sizes.[code]
View 10 RepliesIf I create a simple Textfield and place it on the stage, it looks good.
If I take the same Textfield, and paint it into a BitmapData (first putting the Textfield into a Sprite so I can paint it), the resulting BitmapData is not the same, pixel for pixel, as the original textfield on the stage.
refer to the attached image for a zoomed in view on the differences in the aliasing.
What can I do to keep the two pixel-for-pixel identical?

I'm new ActionScript, and programming in general, however I've been doing a lot of tutorials and reading my Flash CS4 Bible, and cruising the forums like crazy trying to figure out how to go about scripting for my project.
Situation: I need to make an interactive flash movie that explains a painting.when you rollover different sections of the painting, I would like the rest of the painting to dim, and for that section to grow. if you are to roll out, it goes back to the first frame and the same thing happens for all of the sections.
If you are to click on any given section, there will be a voiceover, and possibly a little animation that goes along with it. if you either watch the whole thing or click anywhere on the painting, it should go back to frame.I've thought of a few ways to do it, but can't seem to get the scripting right.for now, I'm only worried about the first part because the rest is going to be similar.Frame 1 I have the painting and an invisible button over a section. frames 2-7 is that section growing and the rest of the painting getting dim there is a stop(); on frames 1 and 7

I am making a flash website and I am implementing a fluid layout. In the website I made a drawing program that is supposed to move along with the rest of the elements of the website when the window is resized. Now the problem is not the drawing program itself, ive got that working very well, the problem is when the canvas movieClip onto which the painting is being done is moved when the window is resized, the movie clip does not stay on centre, and the drawing is displaced outside the canvas movieClip and no longer happens on the mouse X and Y.For the sake of simplicity I made a simplified version of the drawing program with the fluid layout code and drawing code. No point in going through 200 lines of code when the problem lies within 10 lines of code.[code]The pink box is the canvas the user is able to draw on. The grey box is used to test the fluid layout code and to give coordinates for the pink box. When the file first loads both the pink and grey boxes are side by side, during the resize event they should stay side by side, however they do not.

I have just started learning AS3 (2-3 weeks) and I have to say its very enjoyable. I am trying to make a function that pulls in values to save me writing 15 separate functions!
I have a "street mc" which has 15 "house mc's" inside. When the user hovers over a house I want the resident to appear above the house.
The house instance name is house1 and there is a mc in the library linked using the MrsRoy() class.
