ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Selection Border Around Sprite Based Object
Oct 22, 2010
I'm trying to make a little program. It works right now by drawing the top shape to the dark gray area, where it then copies itself and changes color. The new shape can be re-dragged as well. What I want to do now is add a dynamic border when I click on the new object, I want the box to adjust to an appropriate size. And on mouse release I want the selection border to disappear on the new shape. I want the selection border to be dashed much like you find in many of Adobe's programs, if at all possible.
Attached is my .fla file

I have a custom skin applied to a Flex 4 spark datagrid. One really annoying issue I am having is finding the ability to override or change the selected row border color. I was able to set the selectionColor just fine but the border is still the default light blue color. I need it to be yellow.
Anyone know where I can find this style or override this border that is being set when selection happens within the skin itself.

I want to add a border around my mask. I don't know if I can add the border directly to the mask or if I need to create something new and position it. I imagine if the border was part of the mask it wouldnt show up? Anyway I added lineStyle to my roomMask and I get this error that doesn't make any sense to me:1061: Call to a possibly undefined method lineStyle through a reference with static type flash.display:Sprite.
ActionScript Code:
//create a mask to cover the room container
//to hide the floor outside edges

I have this [code]...
And It seems to work but this is creating a new rect. Which I do not want.
And I have tried ColorTransform, and that changes everything, even the border, which is not what I wanted. And I am not able to colortransform and then set the border color.
So how can I change the color of a sprite without changing the border color?

I'm relatively new to AS3. There's one thing that I don't quite understand about Sprites. I'm making a tile based game, and all the tile graphics for a level are inside one movie clip in each frame. Would I be able to go about creating multiple sprites based on the frames in said movieclip's timeline I would I have to go through and make a separate library graphic for each.

how I would go about to accomplish the following:
There should be 3 dropdown menus with predefined words
1. First menu has 3 predefined options
2. The second dropdown has 5 options.
3. The third dropdown has 3 options
--> Depending on which word is selected in dropdown #2, an img (of a total of 5 possibilities) is being displayed
In addition there is a dynamic textfield, where you can enter a name, which should then be displayed along with the img.

Here is what I'm trying to do. I have a sunroom product that is available with several different options. I have created images of every possible combination of options, and named the files like this:
DeckFurniture_NoVisor_ClearGlass_View1.jpg
Hot Tub_Visor_TintedGlass_View3.jpg
I want users to be able to choose their options, and have the appropriate picture be displayed. So to get the above image, they'd have to choose "Deck Furniture" "No Visor" "Clear Glass" and "View 1". Or to get the other one they'd choose "Hot Tub" "Yes Visor" "Tinted Glass" and "View 3"
It's not necessary to have it auto-update the image, so I was thinking they could choose their options and then click "Update", and that would in a sense pull up the correct filename from the options they've chosen. I'm not exactly sure how to tell Flash to change this master variable (the filename) whenever one of the sub-variables (pieces in the filename) change. Would I have to put a script on each option button telling it when it gets selected to change the master variable?

I am in the process of learning AS 3 and Flash on my own and currently using the Actionscript 3.0 Adobe Classroom in a book CS4 version. Having a problem with the Lesson Adendum if anyone has done it. This lession requires you to create two buttons. They both draw shapes on the stage. When one is clicked, it draws Rectangles on the stage following the mouse movement. When the other is clicked, it draws Ellipses instead. The problem I am having is that it just draws rectangles and not ellipses when the 2nd button is clicked. Would be greatful if someone could tell me what i am doirng wrong. Here is the code that I have so far. Apologize for the commented out code, I left it in to show what I have tried:

I'm trying to allow users to download a song based on a radio button selection. And I've succeeded in getting the "save as" box to pop up, but for some reason, the file does not actually download and save after you hit the save button.

EDIT: Someone informed me that if the variables weren't defined OUTSIDE of the function then they would be garbage collected. I moved them outside but it is still behaving the same.

So I'm working on my portfolio and I got this problem. The code posted scrolls the sprite "cellContainer" based on the position of stage.mouseY. Perfect.Problem is that I want stage.mouseY to equal the entire cellContainer height. Kind of like how a small tablet equals a huge monitor. So when stage.mouseY = 0,cellContainer.y = 0 and when stage.mouseY = stage.stageHeight, cellContainer.y = stage.stageHeight - cellContainer.height. Right now, it scrolls, but it takes a while to scroll throught the entire height of cellContainer. I want it to be proportional to stage.mouseY.

I wrote a big Actionscript project using AS3 as an "Actionscript Project" in Flash Builder 4.5. I have a bunch of solid, reusable, code, but one of the big components is a main.as file that extends Sprite and serves as the display code for my application. I now, for various reasons, need that to be a Flex application. I'm trying to get the most minimal wrapper possible, so here's what

The idea is there are two buttons(Sprites), one on the left & one on the right, when either button is moused over a the script should start setting the alpha of the relevant visible element. (i'm not worried that they both would be fading out as the mouse moves left to right at this point)

private function turnOnInterfaceHinting():void {
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, InterfaceHinting);

affect the position of a sprite using perlin noise? Looking at this flag example:
[URL]
If you imagined a sprite with say just a circle drawn in it positioned on the top right corner of the flag, is there a way to calculate the change in position to keep it in-sync with the flag corner as that animates? What I'm after is the fluid motion but not the distortion.

Canvas.addChild() insists any DisplayObject added implements IUIComponent. But I don't want my core graphics engine dependent on Flex. Is there an obvious/common way around this, to have simple graphical objects like Sprites & Shapes in a Flex application? The individual DisplayObject children I want to add as children represent objects in a game world, like a spaceship or a missile or a horse...
Not sure if Canvas is the most appropriate container, perhaps Group or another class is optimal for a game-engine... example MXML & AS3 code showing a skeleton setup is most welcome. I'm targeting Flex4 & Flash 10, but Flex3/Flash9 solutions are still of interest.

I want a class that I'm going to pass a short bit of XML data And then I want that class to create either a Sprite or Clip that consists of an image and some text based on the XML data Example my XML might look like
<root>
<image url="whatever.com/image.jpg">
<name data="Blanius">
</root>
I know how to get to the data what I'm looking for is the best way to create this Sprite on my stage.should the class create a sprite or clip?should the class called to create an instance and then I addChild in my core script?

I was working on a frame by frame scene when all of a sudden (I don't exactly remember what I did) borders show up around each brush stroke I draw like the figure shown here:
I tried turning off highlights (Ctrl + H), but the borders keep re appearing. Basically, I just want to revert back to the original selection mode as well as get rid of the borders after I draw my brushes like this figure shown below:
How do I turn off highlights / object borders permanently as well as enable regular brush selection?
