I am using the drawRect() method. The only way I know how to colour something is by using beginFill and endFill(). But if it's already drawn then how can I change it? It
View 2 RepliesI have a class called shapeC that only creates a rectangle and then addChild(rectangle);. That class is instantiated on the main timeline. Currently, the only way you can see that rectangle is to add the instantiated class to the stage via addChild(shapeC);. My question is, is there a way that the shapeC class can add the rectangle to the root stage without requireing the instantiated class to be added to the stage?

View 1 RepliesI've got an animation in Flash that's made of a number of large images - too large it turns out - flash keeps crashing and running out of memory.
I'd like to scale these down to 50% but maintain their on-stage size in Flash (or at least keep the positioned the same). I've scaled them down on disk, but this scales them in flash too (so messes up their relationships).

I have 20 odd little swfs, each of which will be loaded into a body swf at one point or another.Each of these contains anywhere between 4 and 20 single-colour buttons. What I need is for each of them to simply change colour when rolled over/out. The naming convention is just b1,b2 etc depending on how many said buttons are in each clip.

View 2 RepliesI'm learning ActionScript 3.0 and I made a small app to draw rectangles on stage. Now I want to drag&drop them around. I want to be able to click on an object, without triggering the stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickEvent); but when I click on an object, it also triggers that event. How can I save the click on object from triggering that event on stage?

how do you control the backround colour of a movie clip and the stage? i have thought about placing a mc within the mc as a backround_mc, then change the tint attribute from my main timeline, is this on the right track?
i have a movie where a user loads images into an image viewer (mc) i have craeted. If a user clicks on gallery 1, the loader appears, and load the jpg and then tells the viewer to show onceloaded. But, if a user clicks on gallery 1, then clicks on gallery 2, the movie finishes loading picture 1, before loading picture 2, is there any waqy i can force the loader to stop loading one,a dn load two immediately.
I have careted a class, now, how do i assign an mc to be an object of that class, from the main timeline or the onclipevent load event

I currently have a button that triggers an event merging the movieclips on stage into one sprite, and passing it to a printer class. The printer class looks as follows:
ActionScript Code:

private static var printJobOptions:PrintJobOptions = new PrintJobOptions();

The problem is that when clicking the button, the stage gets a white rectangle in the upper left corner that can't be removed!
I'm new to actionscript 3 but I do have a little actionscript 2, but, what I want to do is change the colour of a movie clip or the stage using local time. From what I could gather you can't change the stage colour but you can change the colour of a movie clip.[code]...
View 3 Replies've been trying to figure out how to refer to the stage from a Sprite before it is added to the stage.
I'm working on a small program in which I plan to use external classes for each "window" that comes up. I've made the window classes extensions of Sprite. I'd like to make this window add itself to the stage when its constructor is called, and then just remove it from the window class when I'm finished with it. Is this a good idea? I'll post some of my code to show you what I mean.
This code doesn't work. I get the error "type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Stage"
From my window class:
ActionScript Code:
public class PlayerSelectionWindow extends Sprite{

I'm looking for ways to use movieclips that I've added on the stage in ActionScript. I can't just adress the movieclip by its name because apparently AS3 won't recognize a movieclip name if you haven't created it within the script.
The way I'm going about it now is to check the instance names of every child on the stage (with a for-loop from 0 to numChildren) and if the name starts with a certain text, I create a movieclip in ActionScript like so[code]...
Is there a way to check if parent object is added to stage inside a class, before child is added to stage. Something like this:
PHP Code:
public class Main extends MovieClip public function Main() var test:MyClass = new MyClass();addChild(test);}}public class MyClass e

I want to create a flash document that allows me to change the colous of an image using a colour palette of my own. I am a complete beginner and have no idea where to start this, hence i would need to know what to do and how to do it. I basically want the image to be a simple 2d image that i will create using different layers in photoshop and import them into flash, the layer images will all be one colour so the colour of the whole layer changes. so the colour palette will be on the side of this and when i click on an image and then a colour the image changes to the colour i clicked.
View 3 RepliesI want to be able to mask an object that has been added to the stage using 'addChild'. This is what I have so far, but it does not seem to work.
Code:
var skyMask:mcSkyMask = new mcSkyMask();
skyMask.x = 0;
skyMask.y = 0;
addChild(skyMask);
var cloud1:mcCloud1 = new mcCloud1();
cloud1.mask = skyMask;
cloud1.x = 7.5;
cloud1.y = 57.7;
addChild(cloud1);
Basically, the cloud is going to move across the sky then get hidden by the mask so it does not appear on the background stage.
OK, I'm new to AS3, and this is the biggest thing I've tried to do. I'm simply at a loss for the right path to take to accomplish what I want to do. In a nutshell, here's what the end result will look like: The stage will contain a large (on X size) movieclip with a scrollbar (not important to this discussion). This movieclip is created using AS3. The large movieclip is populated with many smaller movieclips created from a template in the library. This template contains some dynamic text fields (let's call them text1_MC and text2_MC). The dynamic text for each smaller movieclip is provided from an XML file containing the text1 and text 2 data.

I have this slight problem with the event ADDED_TO_STAGE. The listener is launched twice so I figured the event is dispatched twice.
Here is my .fla code :
var section:SectionStructure = new SectionStructure("xml/list.xml")
addChild(section)
The Section Structure code :
[...]
mainHolder = new MovieClip;
mainHolder.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, displayObjects);
addChild(mainHolder);
} private function displayObjects(pEvent:Event):void {
mainHolder.addChild(sectionMenu);
}
[Code] .....
The output panel displays "test A" once and "test B" twice. I fixed the problem by adding this little line on the opening of the function createButtons :
menuHolder.removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, createButtons);
I read here and there that the event ADDED_TO_STAGE is dispatched when children are added but my problem remains even when I comment everything below this line :
trace("test B");
