I have an MC that I'm using TweenMax to manipulate filters on. I want to alpha the clip to 0 but have the outerglow remain, almost like a stroke, how this can be done, inside the mc is a PNG, so really I'm trying to create a dynamic stroke around the non - transparent portion of the PNG.
View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip with an image that has transparency and filters applied to the movieclip.I know I can use "draw" to copy the movieclip to a bitmapdata object, but it doesn't seem to copy the filters and the transparency of the image. How can I copy these so the bitmapdata matches the original movieclip in appearance?
View 5 RepliesI'm making an interface with quite a few dynamically generated instances of the Button component. I'm trying to animate the buttons' alpha. The graphical elements in the buttons change alpha as expected, but the text label does not. I thought this issue would be fixed simply by using setStyle() to specify an embedded font, but even with an embedded font I cannot alter the alpha.
View 1 RepliesI have a button I am creating from 2 movieclips in the library. One is the button body (shape converted to MC). The 2nd is a series of button logo PNG's for an additional visual button state change.I add the logo MC with addChild to the button body. Then I add the button body to display/stage container. ll is layered correctly.If I add alpha or transform the color to the button body, it goes to the top - covering the button logo.Not applying the color or alpha to the button body and applying a color or alpha to the button logo has not effect (displays correctly).
View 4 Replies[URL] i want the object to fade out but in the object there's a lot of overlapping pictures and each becomes half transparent. how to make the movieclip to change the alpha as it was without objects?
[Code]....
just spotted this curious trick. If you want to flip something to go invisible on a click, and then reappear on another click (etc etc), try this:
create the sprite, setting alpha to either to 1 OR -1
mySprite.alpha=1; //OR
mySprite.aplha=-1;
[code]....
using AS, on loading a movie a solid shape is there with alpha at 100% then over a period of 5 secs its alpha is reduced to 0.
i'm new to this......please help if you want to if you don't have a good weekend but think of me struggling onwards and upwards...
I want to do aplpha = .5 for the whole app, but then have a MC display at full alpha, is there any way to do this?
View 6 RepliesThere is the following bug in the gallery:Once you open up the gallery you see a container with all small thumbnails.If you start mouse over the main container you can see the following happen:
- shadow filter change
- quality of the thumbs change
There is a rotationY and rotationX on the main container. As soon as i remove that there is no bug and the shadow and quality of images is perfect.So what does flash do to children and their filters inside a container when using transform propertys before a MouseEvent happen to that maincontainer.You should use F5 a few times before you excaly can see it.
I've run into a bug where text (static or dynamic) is cut off when filters are applied. For example, I can create a static text object on the stage with a common font (Arial) and put some text into it, and it displays just fine. I'm putting a tween on it to gently fade it in from invisible (alpha=0%) to full (alpha=100%) and back to invisible. At this point, the text looks just fine. The trouble starts when I add a filter, like drop shadow for example. Once the filter is applied, the last character is cut off. For example, if the last word ends with an 'e', the 'e' character is lopped off vertically so only the left two thirds of the 'e' displays and the rightmost remaining third is not visible. I've tried quite a bit of adjusting things to fix this... adding multiple extra spaces at the end, increasing the size of the text box, several different fonts... nothing works except taking the filter back off. This is on the Mac version of Flash, by the way.

View 13 RepliesDoes anyone know a way to generate a print job that doesn't lose the movie clip filters (drop shadow, glow, etc.)
It seems to drop them regardless of whether printAsBitmap is true or false.

View 2 RepliesI'm making a picture gallery. I have a thumbnail container, which contains a mask and a dynamically generated mc called "thumbnail_mc". Thumbnail_mc contains all the sprites of the thumbnails.When I click on a thumbnail, the thumbnail get's a glow filter added to it. Now, I want to remove all filters on all the other sprites before I apply that filter to the Sprite.
This is what I'm trying to do:
Code:
thumbnail_mc.children.filters = [];
How do I do that?
Im using this filter to blur a movieclip on a click event.
var filter:BlurFilter=new BlurFilter(4,4,BitmapFilterQuality.HIGH);
var filters_array:Array=new Array();
filters_array.push(filter);
mainCradle.filters = filters_array;
This runs fine when I go to control -> test But when published it doesn't apply the filter well it does but you caunt see it on screen.I created a dynamic text box and sent mainCradle.filters to it and it would appear that a filter is attached. Its just not using it.
Basically, the effect I'm going for is, you click on a button that calls an mc to the stage and blurs everything below it. When you click another button (that was also called), that mc (and button) is removed, as well as the blur filter.This is the code I have. (Also, just ignore my stupid function names. I pretty much just name them after the next word I hear in the song I'm listening to :)
Code:
hint.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,manipulation);
function manipulation(event:MouseEvent){
this.addChild(newHint);[code].........
and I don't have any compiler errors, the stuff just simply won't unblur.
According to flash documentation Filters are in PROPERTIES panal.But Filter are not available.

View 1 RepliesI am starting to learn how to style components in Flash/AS3.
One of the things I unable to figure out is whether or not I can apply a filter/effect on the label of a component rather than on its skin.For example I want to have a button with a drop shadow applied on the text.
how to apply filters in graphics? I'm curious cuz of this video here. It seems like the very same filters people use for text tool. How did the he use the filters in graphics?
View 3 RepliesI'm wondering if there is some library (or maybe tutorial?) which can produce Instagram-like color tweaks for Bitmap/BitmapData objects in AS3. Color Matrix/ColorMatrixFilter will not be probably able to achieve such as results or yes?
View 1 RepliesI figured out why my external, embedded player wouldn't link back to my site: I was using _self rather than _blank, which I'm sure many of you knew.
However, my next stumbling block is that any subsequent link now needs to be authorized if you are using a browser with a pop-up blocker (IE7, Firefox, etc.). What I've noticed is that YouTube has somehow completely bypassed this, and I need to figure out how.
First, check out this site for an example of my player and YouTube's player on the same page: [URL]
Note in the lower-right the YouTube clip. Click that first. Notice how the pop-up blocker doesn't ask for permission? Then, beneath that is my "Comic Wonder" player. If you click on any links, it'll work, but only if you allow your pop-up blocker to allow it.
how YouTube has bypassed that?
I've been working on an old flash project from a few years back and ran into a little trouble with filters.My program requires the ability to zoom in to any zoom level, which works perfectly fine. And now I've made it so the selected object would glow with the use of Flash's Glow Filter.The problem which has arisen, however is that I get a warning message: "Warning: Filter will not render. The DisplayObject's filtered dimensions (4154, 4154) are too large to be drawn."Now obviously I understand why this would occur, however I'm wondering if there is a way around it. My first guess was setting up a screen size mask, obviously way lower than the max resolution hoping that cull the movie clip to the size of the screen, but that was unsuccessful.
Is there a way to dynamically clip objects and if so would that work? As surely if I could clip the object in run time to the bounds of the screen, the resolution would never exceed that of the screen. If not, any other ideas as to how I can make a large object glow?URL...Also there's dl.dropbox.com/u/956557/Glow/GlowTest.fla if you want to take a gander at the source for that.
I am creating an interactive canvas where a user can click on items (movie clips) in the canvas and the movie zooms in and displays the item.
The problem is when I add filters to these items some of them disappear in a minute or so.
here is the code:
public function setEffects(){
var BackValue = MovieClip(root).BackZ;
var halfChange = BackValue / 2;
[Code]....
if my code is
Code: Select allvar mcFilters:Array = new Array();
mcFilters = mc.filters;
mcFilters.push(new GlowFilter());

I am trying to print a movieclip that has a colorMatrixFilter applied to it, but when I print, it comes out without the filter applied.
View 3 Repliesi just ran into something i've never thought about.I want create a bitmap from a movieclip. Nothing special by now,but when this movieclip has some filters added, then they will be ignored, and thats what i dont want.I tried to copy the movieclip into another movieclip and then make a bitmap from its parent, but no luck there either (or i made something wrong), still no filters visible.
View 2 Repliesi have a series of MCs with glow filters applied to them that grow in size when moused over. however when they are "moused over"/as the mouse crosses the "borders" of the shapes to gain focus the "growing" animation is not smooth, it like jerks around a bit as the mouse crosses the borders before the animation actually happens. i set all of the MC's to mouseChildren=false so i know it has something to do with the effect. it seems that happens with most of the effects i've tried.
does anyone know how to make the mouse NOT interact with the effect/filter?
