ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Text To A Draggable Mask?

Apr 5, 2010

I want to add a line of text to a small mask - the mask reveals a portion of an image underneath - the user drags the mask around the stage

2 movie clips

1. an image that fills the 900x700 stage

2. a 200x200 rect with blur that acts as a "window" to the image

The code below works fine (almost - see comment) but how do I add text to the mask?
 
img_mc.mask = mask_mc;mask_mc.buttonMode = true;img_mc.cacheAsBitmap = true; // for the blur
mask_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dF);
mask_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,

[Code].....

ActionScript 2.0 :: Input Text Box Inside Draggable MC?

May 2, 2004

I wanted a input text box and a submit button inside a draggable movieclip.

I created a base MC which has the necessary graphic. Then I created an input text box and a button. Then made all these components into single MC(final) and associated the following code with the combined MC.

on (press)
{
startdrag (this.final)

[Code]....

The problem here is I am able to drag the MC (final) but unable to input text in the input text box associated with the MC.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Draggable Buttons - Moving Dynamic Text

Dec 7, 2002

Basically I have button contained in a movie clip (scroller), I want to be able to drag the button up and down and get this to move some dynamic text. If you want to have a look at the fla: [URL].

Code:
on(press){
_root.nFlag = true
}on(release){
_root.nFlag = false
}

And this code for the mc:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(_root.nFlag){
if(_root._ymouse <= 400 && _root._ymouse >= 0){
this._y = _root._ymouse
}}}

My problem is that this only moves the button up and down, and doesn't move the dynamic text. Plus when the mc is named scroller it seems to conflict with code and moving the button doesn't work.

Mar 27, 2007

I'm working on making a news scrollpane thingamagig. I have a movieclip called "entry" with textfileds (basically it's just a header bar and a bottom border bar with two textfields). These are dynamically attached based on the number of xml nodes into a holder clip and I have that holder clip masked and for some reason the entry movieclips will show, but the actual text doesn't. when I get rid of the mask then the text shows.

I've been trying to dynamically change some text for a titlebar that is behind a mask

However, I find that when I change the text of the dynamic text field (whose containing movieclip is masked by a graphic), the text no longer appears at all.

When i remove the masking, the text changes properly when asked, but when it it masked, the text does not show at all.

My Text Mask Doesn't Preview Properly

Mar 14, 2009

I'm relatively new to Flash, and I�m in the process of creating a flash intro to my website. The problem is, whenever I preview one of my Mask layers by pressing Ctrl+Enter, the mask effect doesn�t work � it merely shows the masking object. The puzzling thing for me, which leads me to suggest that the mask should work is that in the normal timeline view, when I lock both the mask and masked layers and press Enter or slide through the frames � the effect works perfectly. On Ctrl+Enter all of my other Masks work fine as well - the one in question has text as the mask content.

It only stops working when I view it as an .swf file or play the movie with Ctrl+Enter. Does anyone know why this is happening, how I can get around it, or whether it will be a problem when published?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Text Not Showing Up Under A Mask

Dec 9, 2010

I've discovered the joy that you cannot display dynamic text boxes if they are masked.After browsing the internet I found a few things to try, first embedding the font, which I have done, and that didn't work.The other solution involves setting the mask to a display object, which I've done, sort of.I create a Sprite() in code (I use Flex Develop, and never code on the time line), then use the Sprite.graphics to draw the mask, then set my main stage movieClip's .mask property to equal this layer.

Mask causing text under it to appear to move...I have a mask that scrolls to the right over text.Before the mask comes on stage the same text is on a different frame before it in the exact same coordinates. But when the mask appears it makes the text under it seem to slightly move to the left. I've realized it is the mask that makes this seem to happen.I'm probably not doing something right with the mask, but I'm not sure.
