ActionScript 2.0 :: Relation Between The Layer Of The Masked Movie And The Mask Itself?
Apr 17, 2003
I want to mask a movie clip with another one, the mask is a dynamic square which expands to the whole scene.Anyway, I wanted to now what is the relation between the layer of the masked movie and the mask itself,(should they be at the same level or not?) I use the above script:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mask", 22);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("masked", 21);
masked.attachMovie("home_btn", "masky", 0);
_root.masked.masky.setMask("mask");
[code].....

I have a duplicated movie clip and that layer is inside a mask. I would like to mask that but it doesn't work. I have uploaded the fla so you can take a look.

I have a preloader using this script:
[Code]....
I want a mask to go over some words in relation to the percentage of the file loaded. Below it I want text that says 1%, 2%, 3%, etc. (also in relation to the percentage loaded). But when I test it and click "simulate download," the screen stays white for about 10 seconds then goes to frame 2 where my content starts.?! I get no errors, either. PS: on Flash CS5, is TLF text the same as Dynamic? For "percentage," the only two options are Classic and TLF...

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.

Say I have a flash project, with 3 layers (a, b, c). Layer C is the background, and A has a couple of shapes that masks B. Now I'm just wondering if there's a way to add my objects (MovieClips) to the stage using AS3 and still maintain the masks coming from A, seeing as merely putting my code in Layer B doesn't do the trick

I am using loadMovie to load a JPG to a MC. The MC is one of 3 layers under a mask. The mask is not a tween. The image fails to load in the MC. When I move the layer with the MC out from the mask, the JPG loads.

I'm having some problems setting _x and _y positions of a movie clip attached (into a clip on a masked layer) using attachMovie. The code should position the clips icon1-8 on the y axis (100 pixels Ipart). The destination movie clip (the one with the actions) resides in a masked layer, I remember reading that there were some problems with masked layers in version 5. (i'm using flash MX). The movie clip is _root.openwindow.files
onClipEvent (load) {
for (var counter=1; counter<9; ++counter) {
this.attachMovie("icon", "icon"+counter, counter);
this["icon"+counter]._x= 37;
this["icon"+counter]._y=counter*100;
}}
I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with the code.. as it works outside the masked layer..

I have two movie clip on the stage. The movieclip mc1 has a masked layer in it self that the movieclip seen like a ring ( like it has a hole in it ) and the movieclip2 is simple square movieclip that is under the movclip1 on the stage. So movieclip2 is seen from within the hole of the movieclip1 but it doesn't catch events when i click mc2 (the movieclip under) from within the hole of the mc1.[code]...

This is something I tried to do once long ago with Flash MX, and it did not work for me, and now with CS3, I find that the same concept is not working. What I am trying to do is make an animation where the text appears via a masked layer, but I would like the mask's gradient to be revealed in the animation. Here is what I have: And here is how it is being displayed during the animation:

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.

I've been making a jukebox that plays mp3s via an xml file and the playlist is doing strange things (I think it's due to using a flash decomplier, as I lost the original fla file!) I want it to be completely masked by the player body and just show in the lower window, but somehow it's coming out over the top of it.

I want to know how can I mask an image on one layer which should enogh for other movie clips. Like the following ...
1) First layer ........................ Actionscript
2) Mask layer ....................... Rounded rectange with some design
2) Image layer ...................... Best image (as a background for all other movie clips)
3) Movie Clips layer .............. 10 Movie clips (which are like slides and will be act like one webpage each)
What I want is the mask layer (Layer 2) should be enogh for all the movie clips in layer 3. No need to mask in each movie. I tried in the same sequence but it did not work for me.

I have created mask layer with single MC cosisting of couple of instaces of another MC. This is a set of growing squares. The problem is that only first instance gives mask effect. Rest of instances are not used to. Does anybody knows what is wrong and how to workaround this (most likely)bug ? I would like to avoid creating one masking MC consisting of e.g. 100 layers - with teened growing sqare on each layer but in different position. Wiser is just to create one MC consisting of many instances of another single MC.Second example describing issue.Mask layer contains shape tween which consist of 3 keyframes.Masked layer contains single keyframe at first frame with one MC. This MCrestarts when middle keyframe in the mask is played. It seems that masked MC (on different layer obviously) is recreated when playhead meets keyframe in mask layer in tweened shape. In the same moment our MC stopped beeing visible for AS3 under given name as well.It seems that if mask layer contains more complex animation then basic shape move/scale then masking stops working properly. Is it bug in Flash palaer or am I doing mistake?

I found a actionscript for falling snow. Problem is, I have some art that I want in front of the falling snow and can't figure out how or where to put the mask layer. Also, the more the test scene runs, the more snow gradually starts falling until I have a blizzard and can't see anything.

I have a button that when clicked is supposed to draw a rectangle behind my mask layer but when I try to run it I get this error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type flash.display:BitmapData.
Here is the related ActionScript Code:
fabric_mc.phoenixFab.addEvenetListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeFabric);
function changeFabric(event:MouseEvent):void{
this.graphics.beginBitmapFill(phoenixFabric);
this.graphics.drawRect(181, 46, 319, 319);

Im creating a program that is designed to allow the used to select 3 pictures (movie clips) and print them off on a single peace of paper.
The program works by allowing the user to select 3 graphics (the graphics are actually instructions for various exercises) and then moving the desired movieclips onto the stage. This all happens on a layer named "Content"
So far the program will allow the user to select the movieclips and will move them into place on the Content layer as well as move smaller versions of the pictures into a preview box the only thing it does not do is print. (the most important bit)

The menu works as follows: My stage is 960px wide. On the stage there is a holding MC called container_mc which is 1900px wide. Within this holding MC there are 6 buttons which fill up the entire dimensions of the MC. This container_mc sits on the stage and the sure can click and drag this container about horizontally thus revealing all of the buttons. When they click it opens up a box. When the box is closed the menu comes back. All of this works perfectly.
I am now trying to integrate a movieclip, lets call it markermc that sits underneath the container_mc on the stage. Now, as the menu is dragged i want this markermc to move relative to the container_mc. So if the container_mc is being dragged left, at the same time i want the markermc to move right or if the container_mc is being dragged right then the markermc needs to move left. The reason i want this is because it will give a visual clue as to where you are on the menu. A working example of this can be seen at [url]...
The container_mc's starting X position is 20px on the stage. This is the same starting position for the markermc. The container_mc can be dragged as far as -960px for its X position. When the container_mc is at this point, then the marker MC needs to be at 960px. Basically i am trying to get the markermc to move inversely to the container_mc.[code]...

I've read through umpteen Flash threads of frustrated users who export SWF and anything visible outside the stage appears in the SWF when opened in a browser.None of the solutions have worked for me.My file is called statement_onlineheader.fla.URL...I have my mask layer above a folder containing all other layers.I have also tried moving the mask layer above individual layers.Stuff outside the stage appears in the exported SWF.

I have a question, and I find it hard to find resources on it. I have two layers, and another layer with an image of a broom on it. I want to use the broom to move over layer2, and reveal the layer beneath it. Kind of making a sweeping game. Frankly my search efforts on google have only come up with alot of masking, but I am sure you need actionscript to make the broom move with the mouse.

when I attach an mc inside another movie clip and then during interaction with the movie change the _x of that parent clip to whatever other value than original location, the _x of the child mc does not change as it regards its position in relation to the parent - moving the parent does not move the child within it how do i find the _x of the child in relation to the _root though as opposed to the relation to its parent?

I'm using BitmapData.Draw to draw a masked movieclip to a bitmap.Flash behaves very strangely in many different ways. To give a couple examples:1) Normally, the position of the mask is relative to the masked object. Ex. if I Draw() the movie clip at 10,10 and the mask's position is 20,20, then during the Draw() the mask will effectively be at 30,30. Weird, but consistent. However, if I Draw() the mask to another surface first, and then Draw() the movie clip, the mask position will be absolute (20,20 in the example)
