I looked at the following example in the AS3 Reference: [URL] It is unclear to me looking at the package example how to apply this in standard ActionScript 3 without packages to a Movie Clip resident in my Library that gets called at RunTime. how I would push the DropShadow filter onto my Movie Clip at RunTime?
View 6 RepliesI've been trying to animate a drop shadow filter and so far have been unsucessful, I tried doing it with a for loop but for some reason that didn't work, I also tried an onEnterFrame but without success either
here's what I've done

Code:
var ds: DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter(2, 35, 0x000000, 0, 5, 5, .8, 3, false, false, false);
preloader.filters = [ds];

that doesn't work either..how I can animate the BlurFilter, I just want it to go from an alpha of 0 to an alpha of 60...
I'm using this code into a mouse over and mouse out listener , to change the color of a TextField.
Code:
var ct:Color = new Color();
ct.setTint(0xFF0000, 0.5);
mc.transform.colorTransform = ct;
The problem is that the dropShadow filter associated with the TextField (applied in the flash UI) is gone when this colorTransform applies.
Should I apply the filter dynamically, is that the only solution ??
I was wondering whether it would be possible to perform operations on Filters, specifically the DropShadow filter, such as resizing it (scaleX scaleY).
View 7 RepliesI have an input Text Field with the autoSize property set to true, a DropShadow filter, and with a default text value of "Your text here".When the user enters text in the Text Field, and if their entry exceeds the length of the default text, everything typed after that length is reached APPEARS to have been truncated.
However, when I turn the DropShadow off, the TextField expands to the requirements of the newly entered text. This proves that the TextField actually autosized, but just didn't show the additional characters when the DropShadow was applied. I can then turn the DropShadow back on, showing all of the text in the Text Field. how to autoSize a textfield(so that the user can actually see the expanded TextField) when a DropShadow filter has been applied?
I was wondering whether it would be possible to perform operations on Filters, specifically the DropShadow filter, such as resizing it. Are there any known ways to do it?

I want to put a gradient glow on an object that is offset by 147px (I want the glow, not the object)
How do I apply action script to an item on the stage?
My attempts yield: "1120: Access of undefined property myMovieClip".
Linkage is set to "export for AS" and I clicked yes on create class.
My animation with glow occurs 2 times inside a Movie Clip that is repeated six times in the movie. I want the glow to dim when the mouse hovers over it.
To achieve a zoom effect in our 2D flash game, we make the background of the game much bigger than the visible stage. This becomes a problem when the background is complex or when we apply a grayscale filter to the background. Is there a better way to do zoom? Or, is there a way to apply the filter to only a specific area of a movieclip?

View 2 RepliesI've been scouring the internet for the past hour or so in search of how to do this. It's very simple, but every example seem to want me to bring a loaded movie clip, or trace mouse position. I don't need that! Basically I have a button that when clicked comes to the front (using behaviours), moves to a new position, scales and then I want every other button behind it to blur. Obviously I want them to blur gradually to keep the flow going. Here's my current code so you can see where its going:

Does anyone know of any existing actionscript code (as2 or as3, functions or classes) that performs a median filter on a bitmap? Seems like it's kind of a common image processing filter, but I couldn't find anything online in my google searching.
Additionally, if you know of any collections of as2 or as3 code for image processing filters in general, it would be much appreciated. An efficient Mosaic filter would be useful to me as well.
I want to know how to write "Intercepting Filter Pattern" like Java's servlet filter in Flex.
And I want to insert it into the classes which have a role of server communicating.
I found a tutorial on how to make a cool water effect in as3 using bitmap data and a displacement filter. It works great but it is very heavy on the computer.
here is my code
Code:
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(700, 398);
var dmf:DisplacementMapFilter = new DisplacementMapFilter(bmd, new Point(0,0), 1, 2, 10, 30);
var p1:Point = new Point(0, 0);
var p2:Point = new Point(0, 0);

i stored 8 mc's in an array an i put them on the stage. now I want to apply to these mc's a blur effect. My problem is that i don't know how to apply for every mc the blur effect by clicking on it. So for example I have all the mc's on the stage and if I click on one of them the clicked one should have the blur effect and so on. How to apply the filter to the mc's?
View 2 RepliesI am relatively new to Flash but learning it quickly. I have a simple image transition (motion tween) and after the transition is complete, I want it to flash blur a couple of times before stopping. It would basically be the landing page to a website. So it fades from Black to Gold and then flashes all blurry twice and then stops. I got the tween but now just need the blur.
View 1 RepliesI am currently using an onEnterFrame to animate a filter which is being applied to several different animated movie clips. This filter is triggered by an onRollover, which also pauses the main movie clip (that doesn't have a filter applied to it).
The problem is, the main movie clip in the background pauses but the layer that has the filter attached (and holds the movie clips that need to be affected by this filter) isn't pausing.
So, it's going:
onRollover
Pause movie (which has an embedded flv)
OnEnterFrame filter animation
I want it to pause all the movies on the current fram and then apply the animated filter.
I've tried adding a goToAndStop but this doesn't seem to work.
i do flash at university and im pretty good with it. all im trying to do is push a movie clip when a button is pressed. pretty basic right? but it just doesnt appear the round in the movie clip plays just tha actual movie clip doesnt appear, its not hiding bejind the scene cos i have moved the whole scene and it still doesnt appear where it should. here is the code
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.Event;
onButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,turnON);

i bet it it something so simple im just missing it but when i replace the loadup with another movieclip it works.
P.S the movieclip is made to be exported with AS so thats not the problem

I have an empty movie clip:
Code:
public var master:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
I'm trying to push items into this movieclip in a for loop:
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < panels.length(); i++)
{
var box:NavBox = new NavBox(800, 450);
box.x = box.width * i;
master.addChild(box);
}
It's not working. If I add the box to the stage, it'll work fine. But it won't go into the blank movie clip. No errors, just doesn't run.

I have imported a JPG in to my library, converted it to a button, and then I animate the button in from frames 1-30. I then stop() the animation.If I hover over the button in the preview, the cursor changes to the hand as you might expect.Now, if I double click on the instance of the button, I get to the "edit in place" screen, with the 4 frames - Up, Over, Down Hit.I'm unable to apply any filters to this button. It says the "button" is a "bitmap" in the properties.How can it be both? And what is the recommended way of doing this.It seems I can create a new instance of the button on the "up" frame and the "over" frame etc, but this seems wrong plus they all need different names so that makes no sense.

I've created an interactive map with filters for the map points using if/else visible statements.
The problem is that some of the points belong to more than one filter (i.e., health, education related, etc.). So the filters act properly when selected and deselected one at a time but don't show the proper map points if more than one filter is selected.
here's a painfully easy one I bet -- I'm aware of how to use EX4 to filter most pieces of the xml I need however how can I filter an XML list such as the one below to check say --- if a dog is a beagle? preferably as a Boolean.
