ActionScript 2.0 :: Turn A Dinamically Attached MC Into Mask?
May 9, 2005How do you turn a dinamically attached MC into a mask? I know it works if I actually draw the mask with AS, but is it possible using a library MC (animated)?.

View 1 RepliesHello Flash World, Ok, I may have posted this question before but I am still confused. I have a Master Movie Clip that has a Mask over it. By having that mask I can't view my dynamic text box that is scrollable. How do I embed a font so I can view my dynamic text box? (Im using AS2) attach is a file that explains my problem.

View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 2 RepliesI need to mask a text or mc by the attached mc from the library. I used this code, but it doesn't work to me:
i = 0;
function makeMask() {
_root.attachMovie("mc", "mc"+i, i);
_root["mc"+i].i = i;
[Code].....
I am using Flash MX2004(AS 2.0), I need to mask the attached movieclip, totally I attached 3 movieclip (all are same one), I need to display first movieclip by using mask. One more thing is moving that mask by press button, when I press the button the mask will show the second movie clip and so on.
This is my code: I have to mask box1_mc
function cardcolor() {
var color:Color = new Color(_root["box_mc1"+i].box1_mc);
var t:Number = 0x00FF00;
_root["box_mc1"+i].onPress = function():Void {
[Code] .....
I'm dynamically attaching a movieclip linkage to my root timeline. The linkage has two layers inside -- a graphic shape mask and an empty movieclip for loading images. The empty movieclip is masked by the graphic shape mask.I'm using a MovieClipLoader object to load and manage the preloader for the empty movieclip when it loads images.Why does the mask sometimes work and sometimes not? Would the image type have anything to do with it? Or is it something to do with the act of attaching the linkage and then loading images into the empty movieclip contained therein?

View 2 Repliesthis simple table has some few columns: id, buttonlabel, dir, filesBut I need to have these buttons created automatically on flash. I mean, when I insert a new line into "buttons" table, a new button is created on flashSaw something related to XML, but I dont think it would be necessary since flash can get the mysql results with PHP.

the idea it's to have a textfield of 200px width where the username gets loaded. The thing is that i need the font size to be as big as possible to fit in that textfield. So if the username is shorter the font size should increase if the username is longer the font size should decrease. So I am guessing i should be counting character and knowing how big each character is and then according to that make a mad algorithm to set the font size to make the text fit.
View 1 RepliesI'll start off by saying I'm a newbie, just putting that out there. How do you make a turn by turn multiplayer flash game? I don't know if an engine is made in AS3, PHP, Javascript, or whatever,I made my game already, it's just that it isn'tmultiplayer yet. Basically, there are lines, and each player crosses out a number of lines, and the last player to cross out a line is the loser. I want it where one user crosses out some lines, then presses End Turn, then the other does their turn and then presses End Turn to allow the other player to move his cursor. But how can I get both players to see the same frame and only have one player have the ability to move the cursor during a turn? Is there some easily adaptable multiplayer engine for flash for newbies out there
View 2 RepliesI 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

import flash.display.MovieClip;

I was wondering if its possible to mask multiple MC or Sprites under one mask, when using AS3.abc.mask = a;cba.mask = a;something like that

View 1 RepliesIs there any way to turn off the autodocking panels. I just want my panels to be free floating and not stick together. The way they dock and stick together is the worst.
View 2 RepliesHow do you turn off the sound in a game only? I ask because I have two buttons in my settings: turn music on/off and sound on/off. turning music on and off is really easy because it uses a specific sound channel. But How do you turn off the volume the sound only (e.g. music is still playing but not the sound of the game)?
When I mute the sound via SoundMixer.soundtransform you can't hear anything so that's not what I wanted to have. In my game all sounds are thrown into an array. My first idea was that I go through all sounds listed in the array and turn off the volume but that's not working.
Code:
//not working
private var sounds:Array;
private var soundChannels:Array = [];

How do you turn a date of bith into months. im doing this:
var dobDate: Date = child.CHILD_DOB; //10th Feb 2008var daysSince:uint = Math.floor((nowDate.time - dobDate.time) / DateTime.DAY); var monthsSince:uint = Math.floor( daysSince / AppConst.DAYS_IN_MONTH);
trace(daysSince) //603 - correct
trace(monthsSince) //20 - incorrect (it should be 19)
note:
AppConst.DAYS_IN_MONTH = 30
DateTime.DAY = 86400000

View 4 RepliesI know virtually nothing about Flash so I'm kind of casting about in the dark.
I have the misfortune of being a BT customer, and whilst I have reasonable bandwidth (can view streaming high res video fine) I always have problems listening to radio programmes from the BBC. I think it could be buffering due to traffic shaping, or it could be the Flash applet used to play the content, or something else.
Is it possible to bring up some kind of debugging console, or view some kind of error log to see if there is some diagnostic information that could be useful in finding the problem?
How would I turn something like this...
