ActionScript 3.0 :: Combining XML Images And Masking?
Oct 13, 2009
I am very new to AS and I'm just starting to grasp the essentials of how things are working... but I haven't got to the point to where I can write my own from scratch, so I kind of have to "Frankenstein" different examples into a working project. I found a great XML slideshow demo that I want to overlay with a masking effect, but I'm having some difficulty combining the techniques.
At the bottom is my original slideshow code. If there's anyone that can modify my code or at least guide me to what I need to do to make it work,

I have these images that will load when I input a certain string of text but I don't know how to combine functions to make a generic one that will work for all of the images. These are just two and they're basically the same thing except I have to make each function (something)1 and then (something)2 for the next image.

I have a Sprite name - thumbnailContainer which consist of following Sprites :
maskSprite @ level2
thumbnailPane @ level1
thumbnailBg @ leve0
The thing is that, I have masked the thumbnailPane with maskSprite. The issues is, whenever the external images are loaded into the thumnailPane, the mask is lost - revealing the entire horizontal stripe of the thumbnails. As well as the thumbnailBg in thumbnailContainer gets blurred even though, I have not applied any kind of filters on any sprite ! I am using TweenLite for transitions.

I wonder whether anyone could give me an idea of where I am going wrong with this.I am loading images into a sliding menu which will act as a thumbnail viewer, the structure of which is: "thumbsContainer" (movieclip) nested inside "galleryPane" (movieclip). The images are loaded into movieclips named "all_thumbs", which are added to the thumbsContainer stage.
I would like to mask the content of the thumbsContainer, so that only the images physically within the thumbsContainer border will be viewable. I have tried adding my coded mask to the thumbsContainer stage, and tying it to the thumbsContainer; and have separately tried the same with the all_thumbs movieclip - but no matter how I organise my code, I can't get this to work. If the mask is tied to the thumbsContainer mc - that element disappears; if the mask is tied to the all_thumbs mc, only the background to the thumbsContainer is visible. Either way, I cannot get thumbnails to display through the mask. No thumbnails at all will display on stage.
I've had a good look through the books I have and online, but with no joy so far.
I'd be really grateful if someone could give me a steer with this.

Basically I'm building an image gallery. Rather than thumbnails, it just loads the full size images and masks them, so they can all be scrolled through. (I made an intuative preloader for this). It all works fine. The only problem I see there being is performance, when there's quite a few images.Could anyone suggest a way to reduce the load, and make it a bit more memory friendly? I (stupidly) thought that masked out images wouldn't render. I think I'm wrong though? I thought maybe I could make the images off the screen set to 'visible = false'?

I'm making a website which consists of an intro and the main page. For all intensive purposes, let's just call em intro.fla and main.fla.I would like to combine the two somehow
1) Turn the entire intro.fla into a movieclip and place it at the beginning of main.fla PROBLEM: main.fla is substantially larger, and will bump up the load time for the intro.
2) Run the intro, and have it load the main page with a UILoader.PROBLEM: The intro doesn't Unload, causing problems with the main page. How can I unload the intro.swf from it's self?
3) Somehow combine both .fla's before I convert to a .swf. I think that I could eventually figure out how to make it work properly, but I'd rather someone tell me what the preferred method is and why.

So here's what I want to do: I have a button, and I'm adding an Event Listener to that button to call a function. Now I want the event to be triggers when someone mouses out of the button AND someone is mousing out in the direction up.
-carbotech_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, callLink); <--- does the job for Mouse Out
-carbotech_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, callLink); <---- does the job for when the mouse is moving up
So I need to make it so that both of these end up true in order for function callLink to be called. Is that possible, and if so, what would the syntax be?

I have tried on google with no luck so before I spend anymore time on this would like to know if it's possible.I have 50ish very small 1 - 2 second swf files each one is like one slide. I would like to combine them all together into one flash file.Is this possible, as a note I don't have the original source files I have just been provided with the swf files.

1) I started off with one FLA that was scripted so the mouse controlled panning (horizontal and vertical). That works fine by itself. (image_panning_as3.fla)
2) I also have another FLA that was scripted so when you click the buttons a popup window will come in and play any SWF content. (test.fla)
I have tried to combine these files multiples ways. Putting #2 into a movieclip and #1 outside the movieclip. Tried to rewrite everything together with no luck. I am trying to do is combine the AS3 into one FLA (except for the main.as) or basically get the AS3 in #1 to go into #2 and have everything work (Pan around screen with mouse and buttons still activate popup).

combine the following from Senoculars classes:
Transform.as - transform handles to rotate an mc
DashedLine.as - to draw a dashed line
ProgressiveDrawing.as - to move an mc from a - b
(Links at bottom)
I am basically trying to drag a mc onto stage. Rotate it using rotation handles, move it to another position and rotate it again. Then press play to watch it move from a - b, with a dashed line, and rotating from a - b.
Has anyone done this before or know of examples?
Senocular has combined DashedLine and ProgressiveDrawing in this example: [URL] and its been really great but now I am stuck trying to make the mc rotate. I have made my own crappy rotation handles but thought it may be better to use the transform (and convert somehow to as2) and store each rotation.

I have two movies. The first one has a button that, when clicked on, loads the second movie using loadMovieNum.

I'm using the script below to load the second movie: But it don't really work.

I know there is a way to do what I am about to ask I just can't remember how.
The problem: combining onRelease or onRollOut in a single function.
It goes something like this:
button.onRelease , button.onRollOut = function() {
// do whatever
}

1. I'm wondering if there is a way to use the loader to load in a series of pictures from disk rather than URL. If so what is the code for this?2. Is there a way to combine variables to create one single variable. Again if so how can I do this?I have included the code I am working on to give some clarity on what I'm trying to do.

So, I need to make a slideshow that displays an arrow button on either side that can allow a user to navigate between four different swf files. The only specification is that the swf slide out as the new one appears. Could I do this in AS, or would I need some type of plugin?
I'm pretty sure I can make an empty movieclip and just load the SWF into it, but could I make the previous swf slide out as the new one appeared by doing that?

I have a question on how to combine 2 OOP design patterns. First off, I created a MVC pattern that loads XML into the as3 classes. Now, I want to add another OOP design pattern which is the OBSERVER pattern. How would I call that in the MVC pattern?
To be more clear about this, I created a MVC pattern design of a widget that loads the data from the xml file. I want to input a graph bar observer pattern to the widget. How would i do that?

How to link one tween to another? I need to make a multiple tween because the movement of the object is not in one line.
Simply, this code wont do
Code:
var tween_bus_x1:Tween
var tween_bus_y1:Tween
var tween_bus_x2:Tween
var tween_bus_y2:Tween
tween_bus_x1 = new Tween(bus, "x", None.easeNone, 302.2, 304.6, 200, false);
tween_bus_y1 = new Tween(bus, "y", None.easeNone, 1.6, 62.6, 200, false);
tween_bus_x2 = new Tween(bus, "x", None.easeNone, 304.6, 316.4, 200, false);
tween_bus_y2 = new Tween(bus, "y", None.easeNone, 62.6, 103.6, 200, false);
It only display the second movement. How to trick this?

I'm trying to display a score in CS4 using AS2.0. The score is out of 14, so the display should read "1/14", "2/14" etc. I've got some code that scores correctly, but would like the text box to incorporate the "/14" which is static text. If I sit a static text box next to the dynamic text box, it doesn't align properly. I've anti-aliased the text (Bitstream Vera Sans Bold), but the alignment is still not reliable, even checking type spacing, correct Y position on page etc. The code I have currently is:
var score:Number = 0;
function addScore() {
score++;
scoreBoard.variable = score;
}
I thought by altering the last line to
scoreBoard.variable = score + "/14";
but this doesn't work, the "/14" does not display.I've also tried scoreBoard.text = score + "/14"; In this instance, the "/14" is not displayed when the score is zero, then displays "1/14" when the score is 1, but then displays "a/14" when the score increases.
