I have this actionscript program that explodes a bitmap as you run the cursor through it. What i want to be able to achieve is as the bitmap particles move to the bottom left of the screen, i want them to grow in size, and as they move to the top right i want them to get smaller and so look like a 3D effect. I am having no luck with assigning scale variables to the bitmap particles.

I'm working on a project in which I'm using a background movie playing in a Movie Object and on top of that I'm showing texts and images sort of like they are in the movie itself. The way I did this is by making the movie in After Effects and giving every frame in the movie the required position, alpha and scale parameters for each object in the flash movie.

i took a look at many menus and treid to find the right one for me. I think I've found it: http:[url]...at the bottom, theres a menu that scales in relation to the mouse position. an when you roll over it comes up. the selected item is shown also when it's closed again. how to realize this. I only worked some times withe the laco tweening class but how can i build up that really cool menu?
View 4 RepliesI am loading some thumbnails (jpgs) into some movieclips using loadmovie. Easy enough. I want to scale the movieclip to increase the size of the thumbnail on rollover. The problem is when I use loadmovie and load the external JPG it sets the the JPGs default registration point to (0,0) and when I scale the thumbnail it scales from the top left corner. I would like it to scale from the center. This is the code I am using:
onClipEvent (load) {
var thumb = "thumbtest.jpg";
loadMovie(thumb, thumb_loader);
thumb_loader._yscale = 70;
thumb_loader._xscale = 70;
} on (rollOver) {
thumb_loader._yscale = 100;
thumb_loader._xscale = 100;
} on (rollOut) {
thumb_loader._yscale = 70;
thumb_loader._xscale = 70;
}
Is there anyway to change the registration point so it scales from the center and not the top left?
I have a 50x50 fixed rectangle in the center of the stage. I am using this rectangle as a "hit area" to copy pixels of a bitmap that is draged by the user to line up an area of the image he/she would like to crop.I have preview of the hit area displayed while the bm is being dragged which works well. However, once the bitmap is scaled using the slider component the preview area no longer reflects what is in the hit area.
Code below:
function mouseDownHandler(e:MouseEvent):void
{
// Contraint #8 - Define drag bounds[code].....
I've search through all the threads with "scaling" and "resizing" and can't find the solution.
Basically I have a GUI element on a gallery that I don't want to scale, while the rest of the page is free to resize/scale.
I think I need to add a listener of some sort to the stage, but I'm not sure how to do this.
I'm building some navigation that extends all the way from left to right across my SWF. When the window resizes, I'd like the nav buttons to get wider but not have the text on the buttons get wider.
The buttons themselves are rectangles with a vertical gradient and a stroke around the outside. I'm using 9-slice scaling so the stroke doesn't scale, but the middle (gradient) gets wider or narrower.What'd be great is to be able to select an object or layer and say "don't scale, even if the rest of this movie clip scales". Is there a way to do that, or will I have to do it via actionscript?
i have a diagonal movieclip that I am trying to scale along with the background video. The background video scales perfect, I am attaching the diagonal movieclip (br in the code as bottomright) with addChild
Instead of scaling with the window, it seems to repeat such as the image is displaying. this is the main section of the code that is doing the scaling
var br:mc_bottomright = new mc_bottomright();
addChild(br);
//proportional scale
if ((stage.stageWidth / stage.stageHeight)> (owidth/oheight))

I am trying to achieve an effect of scaling a movie clip on click...very similar to [URL] When the user clicks on See, Hear, Play and Shop boxes, the boxes expand. I have created a box movieclip that has a bar on top. This bar is a movie clip inside the box movieclip. When i try to scale the main box movieclip, the internal bar movie clip scales as well. How to stop this?

I am trying to place a child swf into a parent swf via a function that is in our code library which by default places it at 0, 0. Right now it's just a matter of calling the function and in the parenthesis is the name of the swf. How can I give this swf an instance name so that I can reposition it or manipulate it however I want. I assume I need to drop it into a container but I'm getting null errors when I try that.

I want to use tweenlite to tween a navui_mc onto stage when I rollover another mc. Once navui_mc has completed the tween, I want to ad an MOUSE_OUT eventlistener to navui_mc, so that when I mouse off this mc is tweens out.The function call at the end of the tween seems to work as it is tracing that it has completed, but i dont think I can have the eventlistener in a function?

I have a scrollpane but need to put the scrollbar on the left. I've used the code:_root.scrollPane.vScroller._x = 0;This only works once the scrollpane has loaded. up a function/listener? I'm useless with listeners so I've tried on(complete) with no success.I've also heard an "added" event listener may be the answer, but I've not managed to succesfully set that up.
View 7 RepliesI am designing a game in which there are three doors on stage. The doors are each instances of the same symbol. The instances are named "door1","door2" and "door3". The symbol contains three frames-"color1","color2" and "color3"- each frame is a the same door in a different color.
I want the game to randomly select a color for each door at the start of the game. I have been trying to use variations of the following code:
var min = 1;
var max = 3;
function doorColor (event:ENTER_FRAME, getNewDoor)

I made an app (Towers of Hanoi) and i added a "demo" button that solves the problem based on a recursive function. The button is supposed to make a move one step at the time, i mean one step at every few seconds so you can actually see how the algorithm works. The problem is i haven't really used the timer event before and i have no idea how to implement it in this particular scenario.

I want to make a button with the function, adding and removing display objects. I have a button named solutions. I wrote the basic code for adding the external swf file and test the movie. When I click the button at first time, it loads the external swf file. However, when I click the button at 2nd time, it runs the external swf file again. I can't figure out how to write the code to tell the button not to load the file again when the file is already loaded.

If someone has a quick answer or can point me in some direction please reply to this question: How can I, if at all possible, modify a function from a superclass but preserving all of it's functionality?

Lets say I add a callback function to be run every frame the AS2 way.
