ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating A Magnify Glass Tool With Movieclips?
Jan 21, 2010
I'm trying to create a magnify glass tool.I am familiar with copypixels() function for Bitmaps so i've had no problem making a magnify glass on a regular bitmap image, the problem is i want to magnify a movieclip full of other movieclips, layers, videos, active links etc....is there an efficient way to do this? i really dont want to load the whole thing into another movieclip just bigger....?
The idea is that the user can scan over the content and read, view, watch in a slightly bigger view.I have a zoom function when the user goes to full screen mode but this isn't an option in this case.

I am using a magnifying glass effect in flash, but because my content and rollover buttons sit "inside" the magnifying glass, so they appear magnified, the rollovers dont work when you mouse over them because technically you aren't mousing over them, if that makes sense.

I'd like to create cool lines and bars charts dynamically, from xml data. Since I'm not an expert in Flash, I wanted to get a tool to accomplish this. So far, I've tried Flex Builder 3, but I can't figure how to draw the chart dynamically, as the xml data is constantly changing. I just see examples on the internet with xml like "Orange, Banana, Apple", when what I'd like to see is something like "......" and get each item's value and attributes to show in the chart.

There are 9 movie clips in each square (object) and the color in each movie clip can be changed by mouse click. However, if I want to magnify one of the squares by clicking on that, then I can click on each movie clips to change the color. How can I do it?? Can I create another movie clip and cover the square for clicking to magnify?

The enclosed image is a snapshot of part of my web page portfolio. At the moment it is placed jpgs into Dreamweaver. When you click on a work example it opens up a new browser window with the work example enlarged (old fashioned way). This is not really a problem but I was wondering if I put my work examples into flash CS4 how do I go about creating the effect of a work example instantly being magnified the moment someone clicks it? Like what happens when you click the enclosed image.
Is this an actionscript job or can this effect be produced without any complex scripting work? Perhaps someone knows a tutorial somewhere for a similar effect in Flash CS4. I would like the work examples to magnify quite large though. My thinking behind this was so people can't steal your work example JPGs so easily (flash portfolios seem to not allow saving of the content)

I followed this tutorial below: active[dot]tutsplus[dot]com/tutorials/effects/create-an-impressive-magnifying-effect-with-actionscript-30/ to get a magnify lens effect which works wonderfully, unfortunately the problem I'm having is I cannot click on buttons underneath the magnify lens. Is there a work around to this that I can implement? I tried mouseEnabled = false, to no avail. I'm kind of not sure what else to do.

I found that .fla files do not save in Flash CS4 when the Deco tool or Spray Brush tool is selected. Is this a bug? Or is there a workaround to this issue.

It's just a pure curiosity of mine . I'm using flash to create movie clip objects and never thought about creating them programatically. But today I came across this articlevertheless, there's no official explanation of the process.What if I have e.g. 5 images, and I wanna turn them into a short piece of animation. How can I do it using pure actionscript 3?

To illustrate what I'm trying to do I think the best point of reference would be something like the original "The Legend of Zelda" game, that is, a top-down adventure type game, with single-screen areas created using a grid of images.I'm trying to create something similar for a local charity's website, something in which the player can navigate a created area and find out about the charity by interacting with NPC staff.The environments in the above game seem to be a grid of images representing various environmental objects. Up until this point in my project I've only had to add single objects. I'd do that like this:
Code:
// add a single placeholder graphic
public var myStage:Loader = new Loader();

After a click event I want to dynamically create 2 movieclips with the sequential number in their name, e.g. mc_001 & mv_001 so that I can 'link' them together later on.How can I create a movieclip with a dynamic name?I am trying to use this at the moment:Code:var movieclip["name"+dynamicNumber]:MovieClip = new MovieClip();I can't use an array unless someone can tell me how to access it across multiple classes...

Looking for some code to make magnifying glass over 1 image (can not be 2 images one, small one large) that can be moved to specific locations off of an event like clip load, or clip end.I can find this online for as3 but not as2.so for example...when image is displayed it should load magnifying glass in certain area, then as new clip starts or some type of event happens (not a click event) it should be able to move the glass to new coordinates.we are placing this in a system that CAN NOT use as3. must be as2.

creating a traditional magnifying glass effect - as you drag the magnifying glass the image gets bigger through the glass.
i'm trying to do something different. i would like a fuzzy image as the background and then the magnifying glass would make the image clear.

I'm trying to create a container movie clip, then inside that, create several other movieclips with an image in each and display them with an offset x.It does the offsetting but only displays the last one at the last x.When i dont put the clips in a container it works fine. but i want them in the container so that i can movie the container around on a press.
Heres the code:
var itemsArray = new Array("pic1.jpg", "pic2.jpg", "pic3.jpg", "pic4.jpg");
var clipArray = new Array();
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("carousel", this.getNextHighestDepth());

I have the following code, which should display some square clickable clips over a map. This is done by calling a function (shown below) with arguments. However, when I call this function, only the last box is shown... The clips are drawn on the same level (9000) but that should not be a problem as they wont overlay...functions calls....

clipsideD=150;
city="Rome"

Alright, So i have a function which generates alot of the same MovieClip on the stage, however i need to be able to both Hitcheck this MovieClips and Remove them in other functions, so somehow ( what i have attempted here and isn't quite working yet :confused: ) is putting each MovieClip in an array slot, so if you needed to remove them it would be as simple as a For Loop to run through the Array.
Also, when i hittest them, optimally since they are all in an array, i could just reference them via MovieClip.Hittest (movieClipArray[i]) i being the instance to remove.
Background for the project, adding and removing colored MovieClips Which are all systematically distributed on the stage. When the player Pushes the # Keys color it would run the construct function creating the MovieClips on screen. After that if the player hit the same color key again, before generating a new layout it will remove the previous first.
Also a key is to be able to hittest the colors against other MovieClips on stage so it needs to be linkable. Right now im attempting that by containing all my generated colors in
ActionScript Code:
"ColorContainer"
Currently my color Remove Function has Children Being removing which aren't referenced to the Array, i realize this... But want to get the generation of the Array down before i start cutting away at it.
Here is the code i have so far: For some reason i keep getting:
ActionScript Code:
TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.

I have set up a Qwerty keyboard within a swf using duplicateMovieClip() - all works fine. If I have no tabbing whatsoever then I can use the tab key to randomly jump all over the keyboard.
But I would like it to tab in an order. Other buttons at the _root level are tabbing fine but these dynamically created ones are not doing a thing.
The keyboard buttons are created within a movieclip called mcContent which is sat at the _root level, anything within this mc is usually referenced by mcContent. or _level0.mcContent. (if it is being really fussy).
I have an instructions button - if this is NOT included in the tabIndex then the tabbing will work on the keyboard, erratically, but it at least goes there. As soon as I set _root.mcInstructionsBtn.tabIndex = 1; then nothing but the _root level buttons work
I have tried to add the tabIndex when creating the movieclips but this has not worked either. I have tried to set the tabIndex in a copy version where the keyboard buttons are created at the _root level and it functions exactly the same.
