ActionScript 3.0 :: Drawing Rectangle Behind Mask Layer
Jun 28, 2010
I have a button that when clicked is supposed to draw a rectangle behind my mask layer but when I try to run it I get this error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type flash.display:BitmapData.
Here is the related ActionScript Code:
fabric_mc.phoenixFab.addEvenetListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeFabric);
function changeFabric(event:MouseEvent):void{
this.graphics.beginBitmapFill(phoenixFabric);
this.graphics.drawRect(181, 46, 319, 319);
this.graphics.endFill
}

maybe 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.

I've created a rectangular box with actionscript (code follows) and I need to make sure this stays in the background - so all other movieclips and symbols are visible when they are positioned over the top of it. I guess it's using the swapDepths function although not sure?
this.createEmptyMovieClip("rectangle_mc", 10);
rectangle_mc._x = 15;
rectangle_mc._y = 285;
drawRoundedRectangle(rectangle_mc, 520, 100, 15, 0x2C79BE, 100);

I'm attempting a neat little effect where I've got a fellow walking (already drawn and animated) and I'm using him as a mask over the top of a simple colored rectangle - the idea being, by changing the color of the rectangle, I can have a walking man with color effects happening. At this stage the square is just green, because the mask is not quite working correctly. The edges of the animated mask glitch up and don't work as expected

I would like to have an invisible drop target so I can dropand item and have it go to another part of the training. However,if I create a rectangle as a sprite and don't fill it in, itdoesn't recognize it as an area apparently because nothing happenswithout a fill color. I tried just a regular rectangle, shape, etc.

I'm trying to create a rectangular mask - located at x:0, y:173 (1 pixel high ) - that will be stretched (_yscale) to the bottom of the image using the Flash Tween Class. Trouble is, the entire rectangle moves as if if were using "_y" instead of "_yscale". Tweening "_height" doesn't work any better. Can someone spot the problem with this file? If you comment out this line
var mask_tween:Object = new Tween(maskClip, "_yscale", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 1, true);
then you will see the correct placement of the mask rectangle. It just doesn't tween/scale properly.

I am drawing a rectangle with the above code in as3 inside a area. Problem is that, when i try to acees the drawn rectangle x and y position it is showing 0,0. if i drag the drawn rectangle and try to access the x and y position then also it is calculating from the 0,0 position. first time when i draw the rectangle it is drawing well by dragging the mouse but why the x and y axis is 0,0; if i try to set the x and y position manually then when i try to draw by dragging , it is not drawing relative with the mouse.

I have two options and I want to know whats faster. I have a pool of 1000 sprites objects in as3 on screen. When its needed each sprite has to resize itself. I can
1- Make each sprite a simple container to use graphics to draw a rectangle, that is, call a 'spriteInstance.graphics.' ,draw the rectangle and on each 'refresh', I do graphics.clear and redraw the rectangle but with the new size, this for each sprite.
or
2- Create each sprite with a border and on each refresh, resize it
Whats better?

I've seen a few tutorials on this site that discuss the Drawing API, What I'm wanting to do is draw a rounded rectangle at runtime to a particular size.I initially tried resizing an already-created rectangle, but as the movie clip resized, the radius on the corners got distorted.

I am drawing a rectangle at 0,0 with a line-style-thickness of 4px. It has height 100% and width 50%. The right-hand edge has a border 4px wide, but all 3 other sides are only 2px, suggesting the mid-point of the edge is classed as the border. Why isn't the edge drawn 'inside' the rectangle?

I've been making a jukebox that plays mp3s via an xml file and the playlist is doing strange things (I think it's due to using a flash decomplier, as I lost the original fla file!) I want it to be completely masked by the player body and just show in the lower window, but somehow it's coming out over the top of it.

How can I make sure I draw over (not under) mc's that are on the same layer as I'm drawing to?
I have attached several movieclips to "layer1", and now I'm using layer1.lineTo to draw several lines, but they all appear under the mc's. I need to draw over them, is there any way to do this without creating another layer on op of it?

I need to to incorporate a functionality where the user can use his mouse to draw a rectangle by dragging his mouse over the canvas - much like the Rectangle Drawing Tool in the Flash Authoring environment. The requirement is something like a rubberband tool where the user can define a portion of a map by drawing a rectangle over it. The coordinates needs to be captured.

If I draw a rectangle or trapezium, how might I go about drawing bitmap data into that shape? I need to give a slight perspective to a loaded photo. Native 3D rotations seem to leave the bitmap really blurry, and a full 3D engine is too heavy for this project.

I want to know how can I mask an image on one layer which should enogh for other movie clips. Like the following ...
1) First layer ........................ Actionscript
2) Mask layer ....................... Rounded rectange with some design
2) Image layer ...................... Best image (as a background for all other movie clips)
3) Movie Clips layer .............. 10 Movie clips (which are like slides and will be act like one webpage each)
What I want is the mask layer (Layer 2) should be enogh for all the movie clips in layer 3. No need to mask in each movie. I tried in the same sequence but it did not work for me.

I have created mask layer with single MC cosisting of couple of instaces of another MC. This is a set of growing squares. The problem is that only first instance gives mask effect. Rest of instances are not used to. Does anybody knows what is wrong and how to workaround this (most likely)bug ? I would like to avoid creating one masking MC consisting of e.g. 100 layers - with teened growing sqare on each layer but in different position. Wiser is just to create one MC consisting of many instances of another single MC.Second example describing issue.Mask layer contains shape tween which consist of 3 keyframes.Masked layer contains single keyframe at first frame with one MC. This MCrestarts when middle keyframe in the mask is played. It seems that masked MC (on different layer obviously) is recreated when playhead meets keyframe in mask layer in tweened shape. In the same moment our MC stopped beeing visible for AS3 under given name as well.It seems that if mask layer contains more complex animation then basic shape move/scale then masking stops working properly. Is it bug in Flash palaer or am I doing mistake?

I'm trying to get a better handle on creating dynamic content, so I made a little experimental Flash file to test out programming with more robust and portable code to accomplish it (). I have two functions, one creates rounded rectangles and the other regular rectangles. I'm planning on using the regular rectangle to hold an image (which it does), and the rounded rectangle as a mask to give the appearance of a rectangle with uh, rounded corners. I've run into a couple problems with this:
1. The mask doesn't apply to the image. The regular rectangle (pictureHolder_mc) will appear and the picture (a .JPG file) will load into it; the rounded rectangle (pictureHolderMask_mc) will even appear on top of the picture. But as soon as I use the setMask() method, the mask disappears and not in the cool applying-to-the-movie way.
2. Both the rounded rectangle function and regular rectangle function have parameters for X and Y coordinates that worked fine when I was testing without trying to load an image. As soon as I did, it'd put the image at (0,0) for some reason, even with 300 passed for X and 50 for Y.
3. I've set up an onRelease() function for the image-holding movieclip that calls a tweening function, just to test out functionality. It doesn't work so hot; the mouse doesn't even turn into the clicky button cursor when the movieclip's rolled over.
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
stop();

I found a actionscript for falling snow. Problem is, I have some art that I want in front of the falling snow and can't figure out how or where to put the mask layer. Also, the more the test scene runs, the more snow gradually starts falling until I have a blizzard and can't see anything.
