I have a series of movieclips containing strokes on my timeline in Flash. I need to change the colour of these strokes dynamically in Flash when various actions are performed on said movieclips. I'm able to change fills successfully with colorTransform, but it doesn't seem to work on strokes
View 0 RepliesI have a movie clip with a graphic. I want to copy the clip and change its colour. How do I create a copy of the movie clip change its properties without the other movieclip's properties changing as well. I have it now. I was copying the instance not the graphics themselves.

View 9 RepliesI have a movieclip simply animated with motion tween. On each keyframe, I made sure to name it introPhoto_mc.Now, before the movieclip first appears, I would like to change its content (just a picture change, dynamically loaded with loadMovie). But if I do so, then the next keyframe will obviously reset the instance to the original content.So I suppose I should modify the actual symbol so that every instance will have the desired content. What is the correct approach? OOP ?
View 4 RepliesI have been wondering for a long time, if there is an easy way to convert Trapcodes 3d strokes, created in AE, to vectors for use in Flash. I need to use the strokes for masking other objects in Flash, so its not enough to just import them as a flash movie with an alpha channel.
Right now I am exporting my 3d stroke-animation from AE as an image sequence, importing each frame into Illustrator, where I live-trace them to vector objects. Then I must paste and position each object on the stage (and timeline) in Flash, sort of rebuilding the animation, and then finally use this animation as a mask. A very time consuming and tedious process.
I created a movie clip which loops some text, i would like to populate the stage with instances of it but also with some in a different colour. When I copy frames from my clip and paste them into a new symbol(movie clip) the colour of the other instances changes as well.
View 1 RepliesFor the first stage, I was able to build a walk-through demo in flash pro by creating buttons that when clicked caused the flash to change to different frames. easy enough. Now for the final part of this project, I need to make the interface fully interactive, as I was trying before. ie: you can click any button and lights go on and off or a loop counter increments, etc. Since there is logic involved and too many permutations to do a frame for each possible state, I'm back to trying to do this in an object oriented way. I've got some test code here.

debugger has some errors, so i don't know what exactly it will do. the errors are at the last two if statements where i'm trying to change the object property setting of the label. there is another error at the last curly bracket.
the idea is that there are two labels and a button. the first label starts out visible. when the button is clicked, a counter is checked, and incremented, then the counter is again checked and the appropriate label has it's visible property set to true. the intent is that in a list of several labels, pressing the button scrolls down them, until you press while on the last, which resets the counter and the first label becomes the visible one.
I have a css that defines de skin-class for a custom component, like this :
view|PlaceHolderView {
skin-class:ClassReference('view.skin.PlaceHolderSkin');
}
Is there a way to change that value at runtime, so that all instances of the component switch skin?
i'm following a tutorial but modifying it to suit what i'm trying to do, basically the tutorial sets the X of each image upon loading but what i need is for the X of the image to change according to the position of mouseX
since cvItemLoader is a variable inside of the cfAddItems function i can't change the image's X from outside the function, at the same time i can't possibly define the variables outside because the total number of images will vary
here's my codes :
var cvTotalThumbs:Number;
var cvXMLList:XMLList;
var cvMenu:MovieClip;

I want to parse a hex color value into a movie and use it to dynamically change the color of a movie within called "border"
I can do this if I hard code it in using:

border.transform.colorTransform = colorTransform;

I am implementing a scrollbar using a custom embedded image using my CSS stylesheet. This is a very simple, thin scrollbar. I would like to configure this scrollbar using CSS properties at runtime, but so far I have been unable to do so. I know it can be done because I've seen examples of it in the net, but no code to review.

so, a blendMode seems to break on a nested movieclip in FP10 when you change a 3d propery of the parent clip? rotationY, rotationZ, etc...Example here (sorry, not enough posts to actually link):

If you load an external swf and after it is totally loaded give it as to change size properties. the file jumps from his size exactly to the pretended.
View 1 RepliesI have developed a flash app in AS3 that allows you to drag objects around on stage, save,and load them. When the "save" button is pressed, it then loops through each item on the stage and gets the coordinates (x and y) for the bottom left corner and the top right corner. Code:
Code:

var bottomLeft:Point = new Point(-50, -50);

I'm trying to get familiar with the whole keyboard event detection thing.Here's my sample code.
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
[code].....
I am trying to encode certain values that I receive from keyboard event. Basically I want to check if a certain key combination has been pressed or not, so for that I am converting the key codes into sequence/pattern and store it in an object and a value(function) against each code sequence. Now I have to use four bytes and in first byte(MSB) I've to store shift, alt, ctrl respectively and in the last(LSB) I have to store the keycode of the key pressed.
Here is the code:
private function m_encodeValue(key:String, Ctrl:Boolean = true, Alt:Boolean = true, Shift:Boolean = false):uint {
var encodedValue:uint;
encodedValue = uint(Shift) << 2 | uint(Alt) << 1 | uint(Ctrl);
encodedValue = encodedValue | (uint(key.toUpperCase().charCodeAt(0)) << 24);
return encodedValue;
}
i'm using a custom cellrenderer set the styles of the grid cells (ie. selectedUpSkin, overSkin, etc.)I've also set up some mouse events to set a mouseover flag, however this is cell-specific and only allows me to change the text color in a single cell instead of the entire row as shown here:[code]how can i alternatively change the text color of an entire row of cells?

I did small flash where i exported layers from Photoshop and converted them into movieclips. currently i need to change they image source to other when i click on button. this one is required to make swf file smaller to load files after loading swf file itself. i found how to do it but in this case i cant change size of picture.

you'll notice on their main page, when you roll over section "living" all movie clips below which are "living" projects are highlighted, while others are faded out.I have a vague notion that this is done by creating a series of arrays, one for living, one for learning, one for working, etc etc etc... and then changing whole sale all MC's contained in those arrays upon roll over.First of all, am i correct in this assumption? If so, i really need some pointers to get started. Say i want to define these arrays, and on the press of a button, one directs its movie clips to change alpha to 50, and the other to 100. All of these movie clips by the way are visible on the stage.
Code:
var High = new Array();
High[0]=mc_pAICM;

In my example below I have several objects. I want to change the label of all objects in one go, without calling each element by id. I know how to do this in HTML, but not in Flex.

This is how I would usually set the color of 3 objects to grey in one line.

Is there any way I can change the labels of all 3 buttons with a single line of code similar to the jQuery example?
Just been playing around with the tutorials, on the Set properties/Get properties. Everything is all cool, except the "instance name" aspect. I dnt really understand that too well. Is it possible to change an Mc Name dynamically? If you look at my FLA when you hit the top left red button you will get a trace of the mcName as "square". Now if you input a new mc Name on the right hand side, you will see it change on the left hand side. But i want to know why it doesnt remain as the new mc Name, it still goes back to square.
View 3 RepliesI forgot to put it in the title so I'll just place it here; I am using AS 2.0. I know that there are other ways to accomplish the goal that am after, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to access the properties of an object's properties?
Here is the code that I thought of, even though it doesn't work
var a:Object = new Object();
a.bproperty = 0; //lowerlevel properties
a.cproperty = 1; // lowerlevel properties
[Code].....
This really just boils down to how I am organizing the code(I have ideas on what do next, and i am 99% sure that I can get them to work), and if there is a way to dynamically access the properties of the objects properties, It will save me from creating yet another large block of code for my project.

View 4 RepliesI want to create another button on the main menu of my flash site. I want to take one of the existing buttons (which are set as movie clips) and modify it to show a different menu name and page link. BUT when I go into my library and "duplicate" my movie clip, change the instance name, drag it to the stage and attempt to modify it, the original changes as well. I need to keep the original the same and create a new one with the same code, frames, etc but with different static text. I keep going in circles
