ActionScript 2.0 :: Movieclip That Is Supposed To Mask The Background?

Mar 5, 2002

I'm very close to achieving the desired effect, however, i have been stopped dead in my tracks. I Used Pom's Real/Fake Mask Drag tutorial, so I have that set, however, my problem is getting the ripples to mask...

I have the background, and then I have the other movieclip that is supposed to mask the background (ripple).However, it either does not mask, or it only masks the first frame of the "ripple" mc...

(oh, btw...the ripple MC is dragged by the mouse, so the ripples follow the mouse. I saw an effect like this, a looooong time ago, probly in the days of Flash 3, and i was curious how to go about it, so I have been trying for the last few weeks...)

Actionscript 3 :: MovieClip Does Everything It's Supposed To And Still There Is `error 1009`

Sep 25, 2011

I'm creating game in which user is given a map and five flags. User must drag flags, one by one to the countries, so after creating MovieClips that represent flags, I started creating code for them. That worked for France, but after I copied it to Germany and changed everything using CTRL+F ('france' to 'germany' and 'France' to 'Germany') it didn't. Well, actually it did, but there is some error. That's funny, coz German flag does absolutely everything it should, and still there is an error in the output. Here, that's the code:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Variables Expanding When Not Supposed To

Jun 13, 2011

I am trying to get input from my Arduino to Flash, Flash gets signals like this: [where each number seperated by a - at the end, stands for the input of a sensor]
mux0array: 0-0-0-0-0-400-0-0-0-20-0-0-0-0-0-65-
mux1array: 0-0-800-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
mux2array: 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-10-0-0-0-0-0-50-0-

Code to convert this text to values in an array, using regular expressions [totally new for me] that would convert the data to:
0: 0,0,0,0,0,400,0,0,0,20,0,0,0,0,0,65
1: 0,0,800,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
2: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,100,0,0,0,0,50,0
which is traced by this line: trace(dataId + ': ' + dataArray);
So dataId can change from 0 to 2, and dataArray contains multiple (integer) values

Friday, this worked perfect. But for some weird reason, it stopped working properly: it looks like it merges lines when it shouldn't:
1: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,02: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,01: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 ,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,21: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
As you can see, the first line, is working fine: 16 values
the 2nd line contains 33 values: the 16 values supposed to come after the 2:, but after that 16th value, a linebreak is missing, and the 0: is displayed as a 0, and adding his 16 values behind it. The same goes for line 3: 1: 16 values,2,16 values,0,16 values
the next line only merges 1: and 2:

This is the used script:
// accumulates data coming from arduinovar sensorData:String = "";
// connects to arduino boardvar arduino:SerialPort = new SerialPort();
arduino.addEventListener(DataEvent.DATA, onArduinoData );
arduino.connect( "127.0.0.1", 5331 );
function onArduinoData( event:DataEvent ):void{

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();

ActionScript 3.0 :: Add A Mask Animation On A Movieclip?

Apr 28, 2010

I'm trying to add a mask animation on a movieclip that i have in the library. The problem is that my code add the image to the movieclip that i have created to contain the image but his mask doesn't animate.

So i have:

- the mask layer

-- a layer for the image

- 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.

Code:
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
var columns:Number;
var my_x:Number;

ActionScript 3.0 :: IF Statement Always True - Not Supposed To Execute

Sep 10, 2011

I'm new to AS3 and Flash as a whole, but a decent programmer in Java and C,C#. The problem I have is this: No matter what I do, that "IF" statement ALWAYS executes, even if it shouldn't, and musn't, as said by the trace(isfirst), which outputs a 0, which means the IF is not supposed to execute. AKA: It displays first! and 0 every time it gets to frame 61, thus bringing me to the home page no matter what.

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.

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).
