ActionScript 2.0 :: Mask Changes Textfield And Movieclip Are Reset?

Dec 10, 2009

1. If you have a dynamic text field and movieclip under a mask layer.

2. through actionscript you set the text of the text field, and set the frame of the movieclip.

3. You want the mask to animate, so you create a new keyframe at frame 10 in the mask layer, and change the shape of the mask. The problem is that when you play the movie and it reaches the keyframe where the mask changes, it resets both the text field and movieclip to it's initial state. I've run into this issue in both AS2 and AS3, and also using an animated movieclip as a mask. Whatever is underneath the mask gets reset. I've created a very simple fla to demonstrate this (attached).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Textfield Reset Horizontal Scroll?

Nov 20, 2009

I have (yet another...) TextField issue. I have an input textfield that is used both for capturing user input and displaying messages. It's around ten characters wide, single line and not resizable. I have a method that allows you to flash a brief message into the textfield for a couple of seconds before returning it to the state it was in:

ActionScript Code:
public function flashDisplay(alert:String):void
{
tempText = textField.text;

[Code]....

Usually this works fine, but when the user types a long word into the textfield, the text scrolls left and the first letters of the word scroll out of view. This isn't a problem until you try to show an alert and the alert is also scrolled out of view at the beginning - even if it's a short word.

How can I reset the horizontal scroll that the user has created when updating textField.text?

Just new in forum and just new in as3 programming. All i want to do is to make some physics simulations (i'm physics teacher...).

Flash :: Check And Reset Variable On Main Timeline From Inside A Movieclip?

Feb 11, 2010

I'm converting an old AS2 file into AS3 (and trying to learn AS3 at the same time).A movie clip contains a number of different animated sequences and buttons within the application trigger these different sequences.The buttons are functional only when an animation has completed playing.

In AS2, I achieved this with a var called _root.animating which was initially set to "false" and switched to true when the animation played and switched back to false at the end of the anim sequence. The buttons checked this var when clicked. Here is some of the AS2.[code]...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Textfield Masking With Non-dynamic Mask?

I'm creating a playlist for a music player, and I've got the song names displaying correctly in my songTitle holder MC, but there's limited space for the song names to be shown in, and I'm going to eventually have it inside a scrolling movieclip. Problem is, the text inside the textfields disappear when I try to add a mask to the movieclip they're being loaded into. I've tried adding all combos of embedFonts, antialias, and blendModes I ran into, to no avail.how to mask dynamically created textfields with a non-dynamic (Flash IDE-made) mask.

Code:

for (var i:int = 1; i <= _size; i++) {
var pl_artist:TextField = new TextField;

Actionscript 3 :: MovieClip Higher Than Set Mask?

Apr 9, 2011

I have a movieclip with a prefilled content (some simple vector graphic in a movieclip), with the height of 40. I then apply a mask to it, with the height of 30. Now i would think that the MovieClip is 30 pixel high, but it turns out to be 40 pixel high. Is there some property im not setting or does the movieclip always assume the height of ALL the content within it? or what?

Actually in another clip, too, I have predefined 2 vector graphics (in two seperate movieclips), where the highest one is applied as a mask to the second graphic. The movieclip again assumes the height of the highest element. That might be logical, as it is the mask, BUT! when i then resize my mask (programatically) the height of the movieclip remains the same.Is there some way to recalculate the height of a movie clip? Or am I missing something?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Blurfilter On Movieclip Mask?

Jun 19, 2008

I have a movieclip, "clip1", that is being masked by "mask1". the mask starts as a small circle and grows into a big one, gradually showing the screen. However, the sharp corners on the mask are bugging me and I want it to have soft corners as it goes across the screen. I've read around, and it seems like a blurfilter may be able to do the trick. However, I can't seem to tell any difference; the corners are not softened whatsoever. I can't post the actual code, but here's what the important snippet of code looks like:

ActionScript Code:
var clip1:MovieClip=new MovieClip1();
var mask1:MovieClip=new MaskClip1();

So i have:

- a layer for the movielip background

in this order. With greensock i add a scale animation to the mask layer on the mouseover event but it doesn't animate.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Attached MovieClip Under Mask Disappears

Jan 23, 2010

I posted this in Kirupa but unfortunately i did not receive any response from the community for 4 days now. I'm thinking perhaps somebody here can answer my long awaited explanation for this bug or phenomenon. I have a shape animation on the timeline from one keyframe to the next (3 keyframes). There is an orange movieclip under that mask with instance name "container". Now if i attempt to attach a movieclip to it at runtime, it will automatically get removed when it reaches the 2nd shape tween keyframe. All my code is in frame 1. Isn't that illogical? I know it works if i place it into a movieclip. I need an explanation to this (if its a bug) and a workaround other than repetitively attaching it from frame to frame.

Actionscript 3 :: Mask Changes The Color Of Masked Movieclip?

May 3, 2011

I'm trying to mask a movieclip using a mask created with AS3 but it changes the color of the movieclip being masked. I would like the mask to not change the color of the masked movieclip. Here is my code:

mask_mc.mask=masked_mc;
drawMask();
function drawMask():void {

[Code].....

The masked movieclip becomes the same color as the color defined in beginFill. In the example above, masked_mc turns black (as defined in beginFill). Removing beginFill masked everything and revealed nothing. masking with AS3 without changing the color of the movieclips being masked.
