View 4 Repliesmaybe point me towards a better way to mask. png file is way too big. I have been using the mask layer option to create my own mask around a jpg image by drawing around it on the mask layer. There has to be a fetter and faster way to do this. Is it possible to maybe have a specific color range have an alpha value of 0. Similar to green screening whereas If I put the item I want to clip on a green background flash will auto take out the green for me. and by auto I mean action script maybe. I think this can be done but im not finding it.
how are these guys clipping these images [URL] they have the movie clips set up where the black background on the 3 layers of shoes is getting masked out. When I go into the shoe movie clips I see there is a black background but it just disappears when I go back to main timeline.

how do i create a feathered edge on a mask?
View 13 RepliesI am trying to create a mask. I don't even see the mask clip. Using this code, I don't see the mask at all.
var signalBuildClip:SignalBuilderClip = new SignalBuilderClip;
signalBuildClip.buttonMode = true;
signalBuildClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, launchSignalIndicator)
signalBuildClip.y = 509;
signalBuildClip.x = 489;
addChild(signalBuildClip);
[Code] .....
If I were to add this line before the addChild it I wouldn't be able to see the signalBuildClip.
I am trying to create a slideshow of pictures, but I want to get rid of the sharp edge that is a result of a mask. I would like the movement of the slideshow pictures to be smoother, that it smooths out when it gets closer to the edge of the mask.

View 3 RepliesI'm dabbling with 3D tweens but I've hit a snag. The tween works fine on it's own and also with a simple mask on it. My issue is when I add a second keyframe to the mask layer to create a different shaped mask. When it reaches that frame my 3d tween goes crazy and flies off.

I have a startDrag function set up on a loader and mask that when the mouse is down on the loader it drags, when not it doesn't. There is also 2 buttons that control whether mask1 or mask2 is used. What i would like however is when the mouse is down - the area of the loader outside of the mask is visible but only by about 10/20% alpha, that way the user can see where all the image is while dragging. Is this possible? Full code can be seen below and i have attached the zip with the .fla file:

what i am doing is to make something along the lines of the "scriptable mask" tutorial Inigo was kind enough to put up.My idea is to have a large mask behind the whole of my flash site, this masks a colour image with a black & white one (nothing tricky). The image I am using is actually 5 separate images combined, and each is a pic of certain parts of the site.I also have a very basic set of buttons along the bottom... each corresponding to each section.
All I want is to set it up so that when I mouse over the buttons, the _x of the mask moves to correspond with the correct image... really very basic... or so I thought .If anything it should be easier to do than what is in Inigo's tut (where he uses the _x of the mouse to move the mask)... i just cant seem to get it to work with a nice easing effect (its easy to get the mask to simply snap to each coordinate, but I need it to smoothly move).
ive gotten one movie clip to mask another in the actions frame but i cant seem to be able to mask the flames which are a shape with a movieclip in this as file. im not getting any errors but the mask isnt covering anything look near the bottom at s.mask=mask_mc; there are about 20 "s" shapes spawning per second if that has anything to do with it
Code:
//this package turns an mc into a flaming button that calls a javascript function
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code].....
I was wondering if its possible to mask multiple MC or Sprites under one mask, when using AS3.abc.mask = a;cba.mask = a;something like that

View 0 RepliesAS3 Movie clip does not have .setMask() method, but it has .mask property. What is the syntax to set a mask on movie clip A (mcA) using movie clip B (mcB) mith .mask parameter in AS3?
mcA.setMask(mcB); // does not work in AS3 (no setMask() method any more)
mcA.mask = mcB; //does not do the job either
Is this possible? Cause it "masks" just one shape within the mask layer.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use an irregularly shaped PNG as a mask but the mask is just coming out as a straight rectangle, not taking into account the transperancy of the image.
I've found many people complainng about this across the internet, and it is apperantly solvable, I just haven't been able to figure it out.
I've tried Trace Bitmap to vectorize the shape, since it's a single solid shape, but I'm getting weird results: [URL] I cant figure out why those lines are appearing across my mask. There's nothing there in the actual traced image, I've even ran the eraser over the affected sections to make sure.
1- is there a way to make use of any universal URL in flash ? i mean. not needing to have the full path of the target in the button since the target is in the same folder than the page where is the flash ?
2- now, thats a funny one, i can make mask to make thing appear in an animation fashion style, no probleme as with any Adobe program... however unlike all other Adobe programs, it seem i am unable to find HOW make the exact reversed result... I want to make thing disappear without using the alpha channel, because i want to make it in an animation style way. It is to use for a sub-menu, where when you click the button to open the sub-menu, you see it appear nicely and in an animated way. But when you click again the button to close it, or once you picked your choice, it close the sub-menu in the exact reverse way it was open...
I'm trying to make the image just scroll in with the current mask effect and not scroll out. You can download the source file here: [URL]. The layer to look at is "FlashAICB" there is 2 portions of code, one on the movie clip on this time line, and other on the mask inside the movie clip.

I have several pngs I need to load as masks. The user will be making different selections that requires these to be external images.

But when I try to load the png using loadMovie... it no longer behaves as a mask...
