I am trying to use apply setMask to a movieclip which loaded external jpg's.
The set mask doesnt work and returns the following error:
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
SecurityDomain 'domain@demoImageName.jpg'
tried to access incompatible context 'file:///C|/DOCUME%7E1/jay/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/Untitled%2D1.swf'
if it's possible to apply mask over images loaded with loadMovie(), be it physical or through setMask.
View 6 RepliesGot a movieclip masked by another one with onLoadInit and setMask. Everything works correctly on local but when I use the same swfs hosted on my "server" the mask simply doesn't work, losts its function and shows over the other movieclip as a box.
View 2 RepliesI've read about 15 threads on this topic, my apologies for another, but am still stuck. I have loaded a .swf into a mc, placed it, scaled it and it works fine. Now I need to mask it with setMask(). I read that the .swf must be fully loaded to mask it and am having trouble with this part. I tried 'onLoaded' and a couple of other ways with no success. Here's my code:

I've tried to be very descriptive on title, cause i have found around loads of "setmask does not work on dynamicly created mcs'. My case quite differs. =x
I've got 2 mcs, one holds an gradient and the other is the loader. The image is loaded using the loadmovieclip class.
First I've tried to set the code in the mc that holds both. Failed. Also tried setting on parents, and onLoadInit. All failed.
Ps: Surelly I've done double testing for each time I've tried. Firstly I would try placin an image inside the loader mc, to be sure the code was working without the load, and only then check with loading.

I know that is the right way to do it, but no luck! Whats wrong with it?
I have a "photo" gallery that loads numerous SWFs through xml, one by one on click. All works fine. All my SWF work fine stand alone. But when I load them into the player, many swf dont work properly.in example, I have textinput textfields in many of the swfs, which work fine on their own but not when loaded into the player. Then I have a word search game that works fine when alone, not when in player. I can see there is something as my mouse cursor changes into the "button finger", but nothing visual.
All drag and drop assigments work fine etc. I have no idea whats up. I have receantly switched to as3 and in as2 there was _lockroot declaration that solved similar problems, but now in as3 (where it supposedly should be automatic) it doesnt work. As it seems that it cannot recognise it own stage value, or selection_focus when loadedinside another swf through xml.Using cs4, as3.
I am using Flash CS3 with ActionScript 2.0. I am trying to load a jpg in and display it in an existing movieClip. I have created a movieClip on the stage with an instance name of maskMovieClip. I then create a new/empty clip within maskMovieClip, and then load the new clip with the jpg and then try to use the setMask to switch them. I did read that it won't work if jpg's have not finished loading, so I put a for/next loop in my example just to make sure the clips are loaded.
Here is my test code:
//How to reproduce problem...
//Create one movie clip on the stage with an instance name of maskMovieClip.
//Create two small jpg pics called pic1.jpg and pic2.jpg.
//This correctly loads and displays a jpg into maskMovieClip
maskMovieClip.loadMovie("pic1.jpg", 1);

I've got a movieclip of a rectangle in my library which I place on stage to attachMovie. Then I create an empty movieclip which I want to use as a mask on that rectangle clip through setMask. Users kan draw into that empty movieclip. My intention is that only those areas of the rectangle clip become visible where the user is drawing a line. So I used this:

I'm working on an AS2 website that uses some alpha gradient masks in its header's looping animation. If I put this animation on the main timeline my masks work perfectly [setMask()], but, because the header needs to be a movieclip, my masks don't work at all.?
View 2 Repliesi have had this file sitting around a while and what i would like to do is make the blob/bubbles mouse trailer actually set as a mask for an image or mc. all the code sits on a small control clip just outside the stage.
here be the fla - blob.fla
also any hints on how to get this little thing to work in MX 2004 ?
I am using the following code to generate a television unit that will load in various SWF files and obviously, I want to mask the viewing area of the television ONLY. The SWF is loaded on level 4, while the panel and buttons appear on lower levels. Problem is when I attach a mask from the library to the movieclip containing the SWF, nothing happens.
Here is my code...whats wrong with my final section (MASK)?
//create empty movieclips to hold contents:
//***** DYNAMIC PANEL - Level 1 *****
myExpanded = this.createEmptyMovieClip("expandedContainer", 1);
expandedContainer.attachMovie("expandedPanel", "expanded_mc", 1)

It doesn't matter whether I tick the cacheAsBitmap property in the properties panel or I set it to true with AS for both the mask and masked mc's. I even tried with both, ticking and AS at the same time, but as long as my masks are inside the header mc, they're not working.
I have a movie with some dynamic text, which is embedded and has aliasing turned on -- it is crisp. This text field is behind a mask that I created using setMask so the text appears. The problem happens when I publish my movie as player version 6. When I do this, the text looks as if the field was on an odd pixel, for example x = 60.4. But it's not.
View 8 RepliesI've attached two files that are exactly the same except in Mask_symbol.fla I copied the frames from the _root and put them in a symbol.When you open the files you'll see the mask on the _root gets applied at runtime like it should but once you take the exact same frames and put them inside a symbol it no longer works.
View 1 RepliesTrying to use the setMask method and having trouble. I have it working on my dynamic text, but I am trying to mask the movieclip that is loading my image from the server. I have a moviclip called Comments. And in it I have movieclips called textbox and image
I have one setMask AS like this for the textbox
this.textbox.setMask(this.mc_mask2); - this one works
But for image I have the same thing and it doesn't work. I have
this.image.setMask(this.mc_mask);
I have a long linear flash presentation with many scenes. Besides web playback my clients asked for a standalone projector file as well. Upon making it full screen with FS command during playback, initial off stage area elements are visible when they animate into the stage on widescreen monitors...for example text moving in from left. I don't want to mask every layer in over thirty something scenes...is there an easier way by applying a mask in actionscript to the movie itself? I know setMask() works for movieclips but is there a way to apply the setMask() method to the entire presentation in AS2 because the following did not seem to work:[code]
View 3 Repliesi am loading movies into a container that is masked off using setMask(), however when i apply a filter (blur) the blur is visible outside the masked area..
View 2 RepliesIs there anything to opposite of setMask. Actually I want that, when I click a button then a movieclip will be masked by some predefined shape (working as mask object). when I click another button he mask will be gone. That means the object under the mask will go out of the mask.
View 1 RepliesI've got a movieclip of a rectangle in my library which I place on stage to attachMovie. Then I create an empty movieclip which I want to use as a mask on that rectangle clip through setMask. Users kan draw into that empty movieclip. My intention is that only those areas of the rectangle clip become visible where the user is drawing a line. So I used this:
Actionscript Code:
_root.attachMovie("clip", "clip", 0);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line", 1);
clip.setMask(line);_root.onMouseDown = function() {
line.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
line.lineStyle(10, 0x00FF00, 100);
this.onMouseMove = function() {
line.lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
updateAfterEvent();};};
_root.onMouseUp = function() {
this.onMouseMove = null;};
But that doesn't work: both the line drawn and the rectangle clip become invisible. I know it works because without the setMask part the line is drawn. The other way around does work (line.setMask(clip)): the rectangle clip is now masking the drawn line so only the line becomes visible within the rectangle region. But I want it the other way around: the rectangle should become visible through the lines that are drawn!
I have created an image gallery for a client using actionscript 2 and xml. I have the gallery pulling in the images and text from the xml file and displaying correctly. The problem is the rollover/rollout affect I need to do. The image need an itunes affect flip, so the image looks like it flips to display a description then when you roll out it should flip back to show the image. The flash so far can be seen here [URL]
The flash works by pulling the image in from xml and putting it inside a place holder MC inside another movieclip. This movie clip contains a mask which creates the flip affect and shows a white box containing text over the image. When you rollover this works fine, but when I roll out the image, and title have disappeared when the white box is removed.
At the moment I have left the rollover affect out (as you can see on the link) but for my own sanity I would love to know why I can't get this to work. I probably havent explained this very well so I have attached a demo of how I am trying to get the rollover affect to work.
I have a folder containing some images named 01_image_name.jpg, 02_image_name.jpg, 03_image_name.jpg, ... wich I read with a PHP script. Then I loop loading each image and waiting until all are loaded to display them

Here is the website: [URL]. If you visit the gallery, the images are sliding TOO fast and i have no idea why, They work fine if I test in the Flash.
View 1 RepliesWhat I have to do is upload some images to a server, which is OK, but before uploading I must downsize this images by reducing their quality and width/height. I've found many information about the class JPGEncoder, but I couldn't make it work.
