ActionScript 2.0 :: Xml Images Not Working Properly With Masks?
Sep 8, 2009
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.

So I made a drag and drop app where I can drop in an image, it get's resized and saved automatically on the desktop.
But now I want to do the same when there are multiple images dragged in. This is where I'm stuck...
private function onDrop(e:NativeDragEvent):void
{
trace("Dropped!");
var dropfiles:Array = e.clipboard.getData(ClipboardFormats.FILE_LIST_FORMAT) as Array;
[Code]....
The problem is that I want the completeHandler() to run after every ldr.load() but in my code it only runs once right after the for each loop.

I'm having a hell of a time trying to get a custom mask to work on a project I'm creating.The mask I'm trying to use is applied as a pixel mask on a layer in the photoshop doc I'm working off, but I can't seem to figure out the proper way to get that layer mask imported into flash, to then compile into my .swc and be called from actionscript. (I'm coding in Flex)Whats the proper workflow for getting a pixel mask imported from photoshop so that when I call:
container.mask = myMask;
It'll show up as the shape I want, and not just a square box the size of my shape?

I have a bunch of images that im pulling in dynamically from my library. I am looking to create masks on those images everytime they are pulled onto the stage. the issue is how can i name my mask's using a predefined name in the function and or attach it correctly to the object that came from the library. for example:
/// on the stage i have a movieclip named "mContainer"
Code:
var sw = stage.stageWidth;

I want to mask an object which will contain text and images. I want the mask to be feathered at the bottom end, for a nice smooth effect when it animates into place. For my masking object, I've created a movie clip with a gradient, using a matrix fill. When I apply the mask, it works, but only as a rectangle. The feathered area (the grey bit) still masks completely. I'm stumped with this one. I've searched around for an explanation, but can't get it to work. Does anyone know of any examples of this working?

i tried following the duplicate mc tutorial, however the part on putting the code in a frame to get it to duplicate on load doesn't seem to work for me
here's my code in the frame:
stop();
amount = 5;
while(amount>0) {
[Code]....
apparently the clip only gets duplicated once where's the problem?

I'm working on a flash piece with buttons that display images when you rollover them. When I publish the fla the thin lines are blurry and look out of alignment even though they are perfectly aligned when I zoom in on the fla.

I'm trying to do in this case is populate a List UIComponent that I created with information that I get back from the PHP file. For some reason the loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, userOnLoad) isn't working and my program never gets any farther than that.
Here is my code:
import fl.controls.*;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import fl.managers.StyleManager;
DECLARATIONS
var backgroundArea:Sprite = new Sprite();
var loginArea:Sprite = new Sprite();
var userArea:Sprite = new Sprite();

I've noticed that by using isNaN(number), it doesn't always return true when needed. In fact, by using:
var bool:Boolean = isNaN(parseFloat(numberStr));trace(bool);
It will return true with:
-sdfda
$%&$
asdf
BUT, false (when it should be true) with:
230asdfs
230sdfasd.50
It seems like the letters between the numbers aren't even considered and it returns false when it should in fact return true... If it starts with a letter, it returns true, otherwise, with a number, it's false...I need to check whether or not there are any non-numeric (except "dot") in the parameter "numberStr" (a String).

I've implemented an internal preloader in my project but it's not working properly. I use Simulate Download but the preloader only shows after something like 80% is completed, which sort of destroys the purpose of the whole thing.
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
stop();
function preloader(progressEvt:ProgressEvent):void{
var totalBytes:Number = progressEvt.bytesTotal;
var loadedBytes:Number = progressEvt.bytesLoaded;

The stop() is not working properly as if it were being ignored. I have even recreated a dummy flash document the stop() did work, however, it is still not working on the original design.

i've been going over this code all day and I have no idea what's wrong with it. I'm doing a similiar operation a little higher and that one works so I have no idea why this one doesn't. All I'm trying to do in this case is populate a List UIComponent that I created with information that I get back from the PHP file.

I have had this problem for a long time and have not been able to fix it. I am using ActionScript 1, although if you can help me using AS2 I should be able to change it. I have a static movie clip with no code referring to it called "ship". Its center point is 275, 324.9. I have a series of planets coming down from the top of the screen and I need to check whether you "died" or not. The planets movie clips are contained inside blank movie clips that are there so thre registration point does not change. I was using the code
Code:
if(this.hitTest(275, 324.9, true)){
gotoAndPlay("gameover");
}

the code which works over stage, is not working properly over a movieclip..sample, i have many objects to stay at different indexes at flash..with that code block below. I add 300 mc's to stage,
Code:
for (var j:Number = 0; j<300; j++) {
var mc2:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
stage.addChildAt(mc2, j);
}
TO be able to change indexes with different items.. i have random movieclips which have to be placed indexes between 5 and 300.. And everything goes great when i do this directly at stage..But when i do this with a movieclip.. example;
Code:
for (var i:Number = 0; i<300; i++) {
var mc3:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
my_mc.addChildAt(mc3, i);
}
i can't see the movieclips inside.. but i know they are at their right indexes..but somehow they are getting behind those fake movieclips..

So I have built a contact form out of AS2 and PHP. PHP 5 is enabled on my server, so that's not a problem. I think there is a slight error within my code somewhere. What happens is once online, you fill out the form and hit post, it goes to the "error sending email!".

I'm putting together a pretty basic website/portfolio. The buttons/code that go from page to page work great. The code I'm using to access larger images from thumbnails is basically the same, however it's not working.I have the site setup so that each larger image is it's own separate page, so basically the thumbnails act as buttons to access a specifically labeled page. Ex- Thumbnail/button "Character1_btn" goes to the page labeled as "Character1" to display the larger image. I hope this makes sense.Below is the code I'm using. As I said- all functions but the character1 function are working properly.. I really need the character 1 function to work.Quote:
stop ();
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playhom e);
function playhome(event:MouseEvent):void{

gotoAndStop() doesn't work. I am using Flash CS3. My code is simple:
on(release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("menu");
}
I put that code into a button. The menu frame is three frames behind the frame that I put the button on. If I replace the "menu" with "game", it works. The game frame is one frame behind the frame the button is on. What happens is instead of going to the menu frame, it flickers to the menu frame, then reloads the lose frame, which is where the button is. I know that it reloads because I have a dynamic text field that throws a random insult when you enter that frame. I can assure you. I have already double checked and triple checked that the frame label is correct. And the menu frame has stop() in it. I'm not that stupid, alright?

I used the tutorial found here. The 3 frames of my button are in a movie clip, within a keyframe in the main timeline. I used the code at the end in the tutorial for the first keyframe, so that the clip begins with music playing. However; I cannot get the buttons to work. I cannot stop the sound.
