View 4 Replieshas a embeded movie clip that contains a video, as you can see it has a good quality videoonce the site has loaded i want the embedded video to play as a background, but from the frame per second count you can see that it decreases to an average of 7/9 fps. this does not seem like a good idea,
View 6 RepliesI'm working on a project in Flash with AS 3.I'm making a application that contents a few pages.At first I have two labels: Home and Pages.Home contents 4 moviebuttons that I want to navigate to the different pages.The problem is in pages is one movieclip that contents 4 other movieclips.The reason of that is that 'pages' is a sort of slideshow that slides through the pages.So for example: when I click on the second moviebutton ! want to go to the second slide.How do I navigate to these movieclips.
View 4 RepliesI am just wondering how u make a movieclip the background to a flash page using coding from as3? Also, how would u get that movieclip, to be the perfect scale? For example, the movieclip does not stretch, distort, but yet fills the screen of a computer no matter wat the computer's set resolution is. Lastly, how do u get a pixelated / halftonish effect on ur movie clips? (the "experiences" page has an example of what I am talking about.)

I'm starting to learn actionscript 3 programming and am in the process of trying to create a simple game but am having trouble getting flash to call up various movieclip states.I have a movieclip called "Player" and inside that movieclip, I have Player_Stand,Player_Hit, and Player_Walk...
While I can get the master movieclip to move, I can't get it to play the embedded movieclips when I change states. I tried a more advanced method that did work where you stick all of the animations in one movieclip and then manually tell flash to advance each frame using gotoAndStop in a loop, but it would be easier to just have seperate movieclips that I could just call from a master movieclip file. I've tried various methods to solve this including having all of the movieclips on screen and then changing their visibility but that didn't work either.

I'm having some trouble finishing an interface i'm working on,the function indica() adds a menu listing of items (indicadores) inside a mask because its too large, and i added a scrollbar that allows to scroll through the items but now i need to add the buttons inside the movie clip indicative,i can add symbols and buttons, but i'm having trouble having them call functions inside the same class that the function indica() is running.[code]
View 2 Repliesi need help about a MC created by AS 3. This MC is Reflect class that extends MC class; when i instance it, the newer Mc is always on the foreground, even if its layer is on the backgrond. So what i have to do?
View 3 Repliesthis is a movieClip with a textField placed over it. I would like to change the movie clips color when clicked, but not the text color.
var myColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
myColorTransform.color = 0xFFFFFF;
mc.transform.colorTransform = myColorTransform;
When I try the code above it changes the whole movie clip color, text included. Is there a way to just change the background movieclip color and keep the text un changed?
I am using MX 04 and I have a rather large background for my movie 2046x396 and I made it into a mc to pan right to left... it looks ok in the designer and plays fine in the library, but with I testrun the movie it looks like the image is getting smeared on the screen... the movie speed is 60fps and the background mc I have tried from 100 to 300 frame motion tween.

View 2 RepliesI have 2 movie clips on the stage, and i need to call the 2nd movieclip from within the 1st one[code]...
View 1 RepliesI have the following package[code]...
1. The class instantiates and adds a number as text on top of the image that I created the MovieClip class from
2. As the main class of the fla rotates images it calls the loadItem() function of each corresponding button.
3. That function starts the timer and, on each tick of the timer, the background image changes.
What is happening right now with this code is that the new image (that I want to be the background image behind the text) is coming in on top of the text.
Is there a way to simply replace the image currently loaded into the MovieClip.
When the xml file of images is loaded, I place each image into an element of an Array so I can handle them individually. Problem I am having now is this. When image at element 1 is pressed, it should become one of my movie clips background. I am using some code I was using in as3, when the image wasnt in an Array and it worked fine. Now I am in AS2, and the image is in an Array, it doesnt seem to work. Additionally, I get no errors whatsoever.
The code for this is
picHolder[1].onPress = function() {
picHolder[1].width = card.width;
picHolder[1].height = card.height;
picHolder[1].x = 0;
picHolder[1].y = 0;
card.addChild(picHolder[1]);
};
Whereby picHolder[1] is an image, and card is my movie clip. If I do picHolder[1].startDrag(true), I can pick up and drag the image. So, I know I am dealing with the correct image here. Should I be doing the above differently when working with an Array?
On the stage I have a movieclip with an animation inside it, at the moment I've given to its background the same color of the stage to simulate a transparence.Now I've added some decorations to the bottom left corner of the stage and this movieclip lays a bit over the decoration showing that in truth the movieclip is not transparent because it covers part of the decoration.Is there a way to make the movieclip background really transparent?I've checked where I apply colors to elements, but there is not a "transparent" option, or at least I havent seen it.

I have created a scrolling background as per the instructions on website [url]...and I want to place objects on top of it. To get the effect that I want the instructions say to do the following:
"1. Put the Cloud ActionScript in a MovieClipCreate a new MovieClip, cut all the ActionScript from the main stage and paste it into the MovieClip. Go back to the main stage. Open the library and drag an instance of the Movieclip with the ActionScript on Stage. Now the dynamic clouds are inside a static Movieclip, which means you can now put things above it without using dynamic attachment. [code]...

I have some text placed on the 'canvas' in Flash. I also draw some stuff in an onEnterFrame function on the main timeline. The stuff I draw in the onEnterFrame gets placed behind the text I have on the canvas. I'd really like to have the stuff I draw in front, but I don't know how to accomplish this.

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...)
