I wonder how you can get text in input textfields that dissappear when you click in them to write something. Something similar to what's on [URL] I understand how you get the text there with variables but not how you make it dissappear when you highlight them.
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to add a stroke to text in flash and if so could you explain how? I am still on flash 8.
View 2 RepliesHow do I add a stroke to text in Flex 4? Specifically I'd like to add it to a Label (the text will change in it).
The closest solution suggested has been to add a drop shadow filter as shown below. I've added a rectangle with a stroke for comparison. If the stroke weight is between 2 to 3 it's acceptable. If it's above or below that then it's too blurry or rough. In my case I need to support 2 to 6 weight.
A follow up question would be is it possible to create a stroke filter through Pixel Bender.

Is there any way to add stroke to a text? I'm quite surprised to have not found anything about this yet.
View 1 RepliesApparently you can add stroke to text dynamically. Therefore how can I produce a score text with stroke around the numbers. Would I have to create the ten numbers in photoshop or in flash breaking apart and using the ink bottle and simply call them as required. ie: 10 seconds calls in the 1 and the 0 shape mimicking a real timer. Adds more for the cpu to do but looks wonderful. What do angry birds or anything similar do.

I've recently been trying to rebuild a project we did at work so that we'd have a better and more flexible architecture for future projects. So far all is done, and work great, but I've been wanting to make the text we use (and we use a lot) easier to modify, so I thought having it outside my Flash/ActionScript files would do it. That way, I can change the text and have it working without having to recompile.
Unfortunatly, I've noticed that having the text in a .txt file puts random linebreaks which I really don't like, but XML severely limits what characters we can put in our text (no " < and so on, unless I'm missing something). Not to mention linebreaks would/could be a pain in an XML.
So, I'm wondering if you guys would have any ideas on how to do this, or even tips on how to do it in an XML or txt file that would work.
I am using Vectors in Flash 10 for the first time, and I want to create it in the same way I used to do with Arrays, e.g:var urlList : Array = [url1, url2, url3];I have tried various different methods but none seem to work, and I have settled on the following as a solution:
var urlList : Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>();
urlList.push(url1, url2, url3);
i have the following code:
[AS]
MovieClip.prototype.blattkopie = function(bildpfad, bildanzahl, bildbreite, bildhoehe, spalten, abstand) {
y = 0;
[Code]....
But: getBounds always returns that the MC has no dimension (x,y), also with _height or _width, the MC is always taking up zero space. is there any solution to return the dimensions for the state after it was filled dynamically by the createEmptyMovieClip and loadMovie functions?
I have a form that uses PHP to check to see if all variables are filled in. I have a button with
on (release) {
formcheck();
}
that checks the formcheck function and then sends the form or gives a popup that tells what part of the form needs to be filled in.
My problem is that I have a movie that I'd loike to act as a button. I've done this before with any other command (gotoAndPlay, getURL, etc), but the
on (release) {
formcheck();
}
does not work with a mc button, only with a regular button. Does anyone know a way around this, or why it does not work?
As far as I know theres in no way to cahnge the alpha of a dynamic text box. I put one in a movie clip and when i try to change the alpha of it everything else in it changes its alpha but the not the DT box. Could someone plz verify for me that u can't change alpha and help me find a component that allows alpha control with a dynamic text box. thx in advance.
View 5 RepliesWith brush_mc you can brush over a mask, wich turns the pixels to transparent in brush strokes.So visually it erases the mask and the masked movieclip appears. I want to trace, if the mask is completely turned transparent. Is it possible to check if the mask is turned completely transparant without bitmapdata?
// this creates a mask that hides the movieclip on top
var mask_mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

I'm trying to draw a filled rectangle with no border. Here's the code for my test project:
ActionScript Code:
myMC = this.createEmptyMovieClip("", this.getNexthighestDepth()-1);
myMC._x = 0;
[Code].....
If you take a look at the coordinates, this was suppose to draw a 180x22. Well, it looks lika it draws a 180x22 rectangle, but only if the zoom is at 100%. If I zoom in on the flash player, there are two problems:
1) the line, as it is scaled, goes over the shape edge. Basically, as the border line has 1 pixel, Flash starts do draw it half pixel up and half pixel left; 2) the rectangle is in fact a 179x21 pixels, instead of the 180x22.
I'm sending an example project on an attachment. In this example I have 2 vertical rectangles which act as buttons:
1) the first button draws the rectangle step-by-step;
2) the second button cycles through 3 different styles:
2.1) line with 1 pixel, normal border rescale. This is the style at start;
2.2) no line;
2.3) line with 1 pixel, no border rescale.
The background is a checker texture, with 1 pixel per square. This gives you a perfect look on how the line is drawn.
The drawing instructions are executed on the yellow movieclip, which serves as reference, considering that it has the desired dimensions (180x22). *
If you zoom a couple of times you'll be able to see the problems I'm experiencing.
All you have to do is to click the first vertical button several times to draw the lines, to press the second vertical button to reset the draw and to change the border style, and finally to look at the draw with some zoom in, in order to see it in detail.
So, what can I do in order to draw a perfect rectangle, meaning that the border will not go outside the shape (it would be nice that when the border is rescaled, it does it inside the boundaries of the shape) and the rectangle has right dimensions (why am I missing one pixel in each direction?).
* By the way, is there a way to draw in a movieclip using the lineTo in such a way that the drawing is on the topside instead of the bottomside? I had to make the yellow rectangle partially transparent in order to see my drawing.
i can set color of shape easily via shape.transform.colorTransform..... etc its unbeleiveable, what color is already filled in a shape??
i know, i can draw a bitmap on top of it and get pixel data from that... but
1- it seems lengthy approach ( lazy enough, don't want to write few more lines)
2- it confuses, because if i don't want to get color from pixel but i know one flat color is filled?? but shape is strange / arbitrary / random... how can i confirm that specific pixel has some color or not??
i just wanted to know what flat color is filled inside a shape(very edgy...)
I have a form that calculates totals. What I want to do is send the results by email.
I tested a simple email form with success (name, email and body message, all input txt fields). The form also works fine (thanks again bamb0006). My problem is getting the resulting data of the filled form in the email body message.
In the attached (Flash MX 2004 professional) .fla you'll find a reasonably basic scroller that i can't get to work properly. The advanced part of it is that the content of the MC clip that is to be scrolled up and down is filled dynamically based on the number of items it needs to display. In this demo the number is set but this will eventually be data from an XML file. the trouble is that altough the MC scrolls one screen at a time (using setinterval and an easing function) it loses track of the correct start and end positions after one or two screens. Please take a look and see what the trouble could be. Don't mind the design (there isn't any) it's just a test of the functionality. This little code snippet shows how i did the down button for instance:

i have 2 fields and if these fields arn't filled in and the user hits submit i need a popup window to appear and just say "sorry you must complete the form to continue"yet when i try this it just keeps going to the next frame instead of showing the popup menu :S:SThis code is on my submit button here is my code so far:
Code:
if (fname != "" && email != "") {
status = "Begin Login Process - Wait...";
loadVariablesNum("reglogin.php", 0, "POST");
//loadVariablesNum("register2.php", 0, "POST");

View 7 RepliesI'm relatively new to Actionscript, in fact, I just figured out today how to load text from an external source. I have another issue that I'm not sure how to handle. I have buttons for my main nav, a main text box, and a mini text box (both text boxes are loaded dynamically from external files). I want to have the mini text box load new external text files in the main text box. For instance, I have a button for music, which loads a list of songs in the mini text box. I want to be able to click on the name of one of the songs and have it load the lyrics in the main text box. I'm sure it's simple, I'm just new.

I have created a empty movie clip . And i,m brushing on that .(i.e)Filling(Begin Fill) it with ellipse for every click .
How do I check whether it is filled at particular place .(say 400 x 400 from x=0,y=0)?
This code here works if the src is filled with my videolink
<object width="620" height="348">
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/>
<embed src="myvideolink...." type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="620" height="348"/>
</object>
Now my next step is to fill it via javascript
$('a.videolink, a.videobutton, a.articlevideobutton').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$('.video object embed').attr('src', $(this).attr('href'));
});
But this isn't working... empty flash is displayed. But the generated source code seems ok. The href of the link is in the src attribute of the ebmed tag. Source code is correct again but still not playing my video
$('a.videolink, a.videobutton, a.articlevideobutton').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$('.video').append('<object width="620" height="348"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/>
<embed src="'+$(this).attr('href')+'" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="620" height="348"/></object>');
});
