ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Size Of Mask In Slider To Display More Items
Jul 14, 2011
I found this tutorial: [URL]. It works great but I wanted to add a little more to it. Currently it works with only one item displayed at a time. If I want to display more than one item, let say 2, I make the mask the size of the 2 items. The back button works fine because the X position is still the the same. However the next button does not account for the size of the mask and works like it did before.

Whilst I did some flash YEARS ago, I am now needing to get back into it. And whilst I have a course booked, I need to do something now. I have downloaded a flash file with a mask from an image website. I want to double the size of the file, but the masking now only highlights part of the image.

I'm trying to figure an elegant way to display a certain number of items in a grid. I have a feeling the answer lies partly with modulus, but it's a little more complicated than that. I know how to lay out items in a grid based on a set number of columns. Something like this:[code]but what I want to do is set things up such that if there is only one item (j=0), the image covers the entire available area (stage.Width and stage.Height or, for simplicity, 1000px, and 500px). If there are 2 items, there should be 2 columns, with the images taking up half the width of the stage and all of the height (500x500), 3 items - 3 columns (300x500), 4 items - 2 columns & 2 rows (500x250), and so on, keeping a balanced grid layout but decreasing the dimensions of the items and increasing the number of rows in some sort of logical and balanced manner.

I made a volume slider which works with a draggable mc to control the volume. But I want to do a bit different slider using a mask like the slider in Component box. The aria I want to drag over is a rounded rectangle. I make a rectangle which will be my bound and i use the rounded rectangle to mask it. How should i continue.

I have three images and I want change the images size based on the scene size (default size is 1024x768). After each image has completely loaded I call bindableUtils.setter to set width/height when scene size changes but I don't know how to make a pointer or something like that. I'm using a public var img, but it only works with the last complete image.
Here is my code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I'm working on a slideshow where I'm calling in photos from an xml file. How do I tell AS to resize the stage according to photo dimensions? Would I need to list the dimensions in the xml file? If so, how would I pull that into the fla file with AS?

I have a MovieClip that is just a 100x100 circle with a stroke but no fill. When I change this to 200x200 using as3 the stroke size doubles. How can I increase the diameter of the circle without changing the stroke size?

I created a graphic to simulate a volume slider. Its working, but i want a movieclip graphic (vol_switch) to follow the mask. It is only following it after i release the mouse. i cannot figure out how to have it follow on the mouse drag without taking precedence over the mask and disabling that. I tried the code in bold, but not working.

I dinamically build a menu: this menu is made up of two nested MovieClips:
externalContainer_mc;
itemsContainer_mc (inside externalContainer_mc at 0,0);
itemsContainer loads a dinamic number of MenuItems: they are library objects (extending the MovieClip class).Anything works just fine, but if, when anything is loaded, I put a mask (itemsContainer_mc.mask=my_mask) upon itemsContainer, every MenuItem disappears AND it isn't even clickable anymore. What happens?

im trying to create a grid gallery that when you rollover an item it grows larger and makes the other items a little smaller, and moves them to compensate for the larger image and on rollout it shrinks to its original size, and so does the other items. if someone could point me in the right direction (tutorials, etc.) or how i would go about build it,

I have been checking out the following tutorial:on how to adjust the volume with a slider.it's great!what I'd like to do is use that same slider to adjust the alphaof a movie clip.is that possible?or maybe adjust the alpha of a symbol.what i'm trying to do is create "mood lighting"where the user can move a slider and lighten or darken an interiorspace, by adjusting the alpha of a dark square on top of the scene.

I'm new to actionscript, I want to have a single animation and two sliders. slider1 will advance and rewind the movieclip,we'll call it "scrubbing", while slider2 will change the highest frame of the mc acheivable by the "scrub" slider1. Therefore if slider2 is at one end slider1 will not advance the mc at all, while if slider2 is maxed out then slider1 will "scrub" the whole movie.

I want to use the mouse wheel to set the value of a VSlider. By default, the slider performs this automatically. My only concern is the step interval if the mouse wheel is used. It set the properties "snapInterval" and "stepsize" to 1. But if I use the mouse wheel, the next value is always +/- 3 .
How can I set this behaviour to +/-1?
Here is the code to create the slider:
sliceSlider2 = new VSlider();
sliceSlider2.dataTipPrecision = 0;

I am using code from the site, [URL] and I would like to make my slider smaller or bigger depending on the link. I'm guessing it can be done with action script, but have no idea how to do it.

So I have a text which is saying for instance "hello". And when i press a button there is an animation which starts to erase the "hello" text and a pencil is writing a second text. So somewhere in the middle there is a blank text holder( i mean the place where the text is suppose to be)! The question is - is there a way with code when the animation have reached a certain frame to change the text because i can't do it with animation!

I am working on this website and I decided to add some flash to the front page in the form of a little image gallery with a nifty slide effect. The problem is this. For some reason its squishing my images. When you look in the scripting you will see that I've set the image width to the full width of the stage, but when you test the movie they are getting squished to about 3/4th's the width of the stage (ive double checked the image size as well).

There's a long story behind How I made it here and why I am messing with AS3 in the first place but I'll try to explain it in a shorter version. My boss seems to think that I am the equivalent of Einstein with computers and will tell me what he wants and just expect me to be able to figure it out. So he told me he wanted a website that looked like the Mercedes Benz website and left it at that.I am working with Flash CS3 Professional Version 9.0, trying my best to figure out all the ins and outs of the program, since I am a first time user. I have finished almost everything with the site. I have it all animated and working pretty well, but there's one main problem. I have 25 buttons, sorted out by 5 rows and 5 columns. These button all have pictures of golf carts on them and when you click on the golf cart it opens to show all the products that we sell for that particular cart. The first button works just fine, but all the buttons after that will not stay on top when they are selected.
I can't seem to figure out exactly what I need to do. I hvae struggled with ideas that I may need to put them in a container and then adjust their depths, but I am not sure if this is right or if there is any easier fix. Here's the code that I have so far on that particular page,Quote:
//Product1 Button
Product1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverProd1);
Product1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, mouseOutProd1);

I am attempting to reskin the AS3 Slider component to have arelatively "tall" draggable thumb graphic. However, the sliderthumb always seems to be forcibly scaled down to 13x13 regardlessof the size of the graphic. I'm currently using the drag-and-dropcomponent on workspace method, and double-clicked the livepreviewto change the skin pieces.I've tried resizing the contents of the SliderThumb_*Skin(upSkin, downSkin, ...) symbols, the Slider component itself on thestage, and even the placeholders on the double-click skin organizersheet. The height of the thumb object is not directly accessible(seems to be private). The translated position of the 13x13 thumbrelative to the symbol center is preserved correctly... but thesize seems to be stuck at 13x13.
Is there a workaround for this? I've searched and found a fewFlex solutions having to do with overriding a measure() method orextending the class to hard-code a different height, but none ofthe corresponding classes (e.g. one site recommended extendingmx.controls.sliderClasses.SliderThumb) seem to be accessible withinthe Flash AS3 implementation of the components.

I'm reletively new to flash, and am trying to modify a template and am running into a problem and I don't seem to know why Flash is acting so strange. I am going into a movie clip to edit the color of an item, and when I do so with a tint, it overrides any additional effects such as light, and text. The color appears almost as if it were just slapped on top of everything. When I edit the color in advanced mode, it is really a hit-or-miss to get the correct color, and will only modify when changing the offset RGB.
And also when doing this, the text gradually changes color, for example: there are 4 items in total that I want to edit the color of. Each item is a different colored box with text on the front (for a main Navigation of the website). --- The first item, the text will stay white. Gradually through the second and third items it starts to change, and by the fourth / last item, the text is completely blue. Is it possible for a portion of text to be connected somehow to an object within the animation in a movieclip? If so, is it possible to go inside and edit this? -the shape, animation, and text? Is there an easier way to change the color of an item inside a movie clip? I can supply additional information if needed.. files etc.

I had to create a non-component slider for a project. I am new to actionscript (and entirely self-taught so bear with my probably poor programming style) and have no idea how to display the value as the thumb moves. Is there a way to use the sliderevents outside of the slider components, or is there a way to update a text box as the slider moves outside of the sliderevents. Here is the code for one of the sliders:
function getPercentageA() {
return Math.ceil(((slidera.thumb.x-slidera.Track.x)/slidera.Track.width)*100);
}

I am trying to create a slider component where the thumb does not display until the user clicks on the bar. When the user does click on the bar the thumb would appear wherever the mouse is on the bar. I have no experience with the display package and since I am pretty new to using flash in general I cant think of any other creative way to do it. How to make objects display and display where the mouse is clicking.

I am new to Flash CS5 and I have created a slide show. I am trying to reduce the .swf file size for faster loading. I have been trying to adjust the size using the jpeg quality slider, but it doesn't seem to function whether I set it to 0 or 100 or anywhere in between. Publishing always generates the same size swf file.

I'm using UILoader to load SWF files which I have no source for. These SWF files were created in AS2. They use masks. Width and height return unmasked values.
I'm trying to find the visible width and height of the clip so I can scale it properly.
For example I want a SWF to fit within a 50x50 space. The visible SWF is 65x65 (but I don't know this) and the unmasked size is 100x100. If I set the width and height of the loaded movieclip to 50x50, Flash scales the clip based on the unmasked portion, and I get a clip scaled much too small. Keep in mind I have no control of the SWF content, so I can not override width/height, or get mask size.

I have a large swf that is embedded in Director as a sprite I now want to put it onto a web page, so file size is critical Is there a way to remove unused library items when publishing so that file size is reduced? Is there another way to compress the swf so it is much smaller?The current size is about 25 Mb.What about streaming the swf?I'm not talking about streaming video or audio, just any Flash content.In Director, there is a way to right-click on a cast member and choose "find in score".If something isn't found it means that it either is not used in the movie or is implemented through code
