ActionScript 2.0 :: Mask Mc Is Empty?
Nov 21, 2005
I create an empty movie clip which will be my mask. Then I create a drawing API which is in this emty movie clip. And I want that the lines which are drawn would be the mask of the specific movie clip. However, the mc which must be masked dissapears....It happens because flash still thinks that the mask mc is empty....The script on the stage(fromurl...):
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line", 1);
// 2. EVENTS IN _ROOT:
_root.onMouseDown = function() {[code].....

I have a startDrag function set up on a loader and mask that when the mouse is down on the loader it drags, when not it doesn't. There is also 2 buttons that control whether mask1 or mask2 is used. What i would like however is when the mouse is down - the area of the loader outside of the mask is visible but only by about 10/20% alpha, that way the user can see where all the image is while dragging. Is this possible? Full code can be seen below and i have attached the zip with the .fla file:

what i am doing is to make something along the lines of the "scriptable mask" tutorial Inigo was kind enough to put up.My idea is to have a large mask behind the whole of my flash site, this masks a colour image with a black & white one (nothing tricky). The image I am using is actually 5 separate images combined, and each is a pic of certain parts of the site.I also have a very basic set of buttons along the bottom... each corresponding to each section.
All I want is to set it up so that when I mouse over the buttons, the _x of the mask moves to correspond with the correct image... really very basic... or so I thought .If anything it should be easier to do than what is in Inigo's tut (where he uses the _x of the mouse to move the mask)... i just cant seem to get it to work with a nice easing effect (its easy to get the mask to simply snap to each coordinate, but I need it to smoothly move).

maybe point me towards a better way to mask. png file is way too big. I have been using the mask layer option to create my own mask around a jpg image by drawing around it on the mask layer. There has to be a fetter and faster way to do this. Is it possible to maybe have a specific color range have an alpha value of 0. Similar to green screening whereas If I put the item I want to clip on a green background flash will auto take out the green for me. and by auto I mean action script maybe. I think this can be done but im not finding it.
how are these guys clipping these images [URL] they have the movie clips set up where the black background on the 3 layers of shoes is getting masked out. When I go into the shoe movie clips I see there is a black background but it just disappears when I go back to main timeline.

ive gotten one movie clip to mask another in the actions frame but i cant seem to be able to mask the flames which are a shape with a movieclip in this as file. im not getting any errors but the mask isnt covering anything look near the bottom at s.mask=mask_mc; there are about 20 "s" shapes spawning per second if that has anything to do with it
Code:
//this package turns an mc into a flaming button that calls a javascript function
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;

AS3 Movie clip does not have .setMask() method, but it has .mask property. What is the syntax to set a mask on movie clip A (mcA) using movie clip B (mcB) mith .mask parameter in AS3?
mcA.setMask(mcB); // does not work in AS3 (no setMask() method any more)
mcA.mask = mcB; //does not do the job either

[AS]
on (release) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container2", 1);
loadMovieNum("calendar2.swf", 1);
[code].....
It puts it at (0,0) of the _root! I tried "this", I tried "_parent", I tried nothing at all in front of container2. I even changed the x and y to something ridiculous. The trace returns the correct value but the clip ain't budging. Why?!

I have a Flex 3.2 application for which I am developing a custom style. Basically the first stylesheet gets applied first, and then my custom stylesheet. I am wondering how I can completely empty a value set in the first stylesheet with a value set in the second. The value has to be blank because if the horizontal-center value is set then any other positioning values are ignored.
Example
CSS1.css
.myButton {

I have a button that each time it's being press, it will load a mc that's located in the library.
The movie clip is text that's located in a mc, that i can fade in the text when the parent mc is called (meaning, text in a mc in a mc).
How can I do this actrion, where each time the button is pressed the mc will load? tried a few things such as loadmovie, attachmovie, but some how it doesn't work for me.
I gave my parent mc an instant and tried with the butoon calling it. didn't work.

I have a problem with XML filtering. [code]If there is only one result, trace is empty. If there are 2 results or more, they will be traced fine. Is it because one result is not an XML 'list'? If so, how do I get the results if there is only one match?

I'm using flash cs4 on a mac and I need to embed some characters to support greek, and probably a lot of other languages. The problem is, my Character embedding dialogue box is empty! There's nothing in it at all... I'm using Tekton Pro as the font for that dynamic text box, I tried using something more basic, Arial and Helvitica didnt work, still nothing to embed. I know the phrase that will be in it, at least the first one, when I put it in the "Include these characters" box and reran, all the dt box would show is an apostrophe. I put the phrase into the dt filed itself and "autofilled" it did the same thing. I also tried doing the same with the % character version ie %B6, it picked up that they were characters but still wasnt displaying right. I'm diverging.

I am having the most frustrating time with htmlText in TextField.apparently, if you set the htmlText of a TextField, you always get an extra line at the end.Here is what I have found out:Below, a multiline TextField is created and the text property is set. I then grab the htmlText property, set the htmlText to "" and then reapply the htmlText I had just grabbed. This causes a new line to be added to the Textfield:
Actionscript Code:
var tf:TextField = new TextField();tf.width = tf.height = 200;tf.border = true;tf.multiline = true;tf.wordWrap = true;addChild(tf);tf.text = "this is not htmlText";

I am using Flash 8.Say I have 3 datas in the ComboBox - "one, two and three". We find that in SWF "one" is seen in the ComboBox even though the user hasn't selected the data from the ComboBox. "one" has become the default selection in the CoomboBox.I want the ComboBox component to be empty when swf is run.But I don't want the empty thing also to be shown when the dropdown is clicked.

I have a multiple choice quiz designed for a client. I have an array that works thruout the questions, that if the user answers incorrectly, it stores the question number in the array. When the user reaches the end of the quiz, I dont want this array to always display at the end, since the user could have all the asnwers correct (which means the array should be empty). I am trying to make an if else statement that will display a different message if the array is empty.[code]...
