I have a movieclip which is being masked using another movieclip. In one condition I want to unmask the mc. But it seems, mask = null isn't working.can I remove mask dynamically.
a.mask = b;
a.width ++;
if(a.width > 10)

I wonder whether anyone could give me an idea of where I am going wrong with this.I am loading images into a sliding menu which will act as a thumbnail viewer, the structure of which is: "thumbsContainer" (movieclip) nested inside "galleryPane" (movieclip). The images are loaded into movieclips named "all_thumbs", which are added to the thumbsContainer stage.
I would like to mask the content of the thumbsContainer, so that only the images physically within the thumbsContainer border will be viewable. I have tried adding my coded mask to the thumbsContainer stage, and tying it to the thumbsContainer; and have separately tried the same with the all_thumbs movieclip - but no matter how I organise my code, I can't get this to work. If the mask is tied to the thumbsContainer mc - that element disappears; if the mask is tied to the all_thumbs mc, only the background to the thumbsContainer is visible. Either way, I cannot get thumbnails to display through the mask. No thumbnails at all will display on stage.
I've had a good look through the books I have and online, but with no joy so far.
I'd be really grateful if someone could give me a steer with this.

I made an xml loaded dynamic image gallery and I cannot figure out how to crop the image should it be too big. Masking appears to work only with a movieclip created outside of actionscript (which cannot be created dynamically).
View 2 RepliesI've got an object in the library that's a basic rectangle with an outline. A for loop creates a grid dynamically. I want to create a mask that goes over this grid. I'm using "my_object.mask = my_mask", but to no avail
View 1 RepliesLets say I had a rectangular sprite that could fit about 10 'list items'. However, I have like 100 list items. What I desire is adding all these 100 list items to this one rectangular sprite, so 10 will fit and the 90 should be masked, and I can scroll through this rectangular sprite (by dragging the box upwards) to view more list items. This means that only 10 list items are visible at one time but I want to scroll through all the list items dynamically.

mc2 is a movie clip that is 50% alpha. How can I mask mc1 and keep the alpha transparency? That's about it.
I have a movieclip Planet which consists out of a backround (BG) and a mask (PMask). The mask will be changed during gameplay (I add shapes, then draw this to a bitmap and replace the shapes with the bitmap).But for some reason the mask doesnt change along with the mask movieclip(as if it makes a copie of PMask and uses that as the mask instead, so that every change to PMask isnt applied to the mask of BG)This is basically my Planet.as file (I removed the stuff that isn't related):
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
I don't know why I would need the "cacheAsBitmap", but it doesn't seem to mask at all when I don't use it.
Lets say you have a bunch of similar movieclips and you want to move anyone of them dynamically. We would use:

Something like that. However, my issue is not selecting a movieclip dynamically, but selecting another movieclip dynamically within a dynamically selected movieclip.
what I'm trying to do is accessingsnapText = scrollPane.source.textSnapshot;from an external swf. I've tried:
trace("-->: "+scrollPane.source.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));
trace("-->: "+myLoader.content.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));
trace("-->: "+mc.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));

How would I then attach another movieclip to each of the newly created ones? ie thumbnail_mc.t0, thumbnail_mc.t1, thumbnail_mc.t2... is there a way to do it automaticall7y or do i have to assign it to each one individually?

Imagine a database with a table of some items. Each item has 5 images inside and some other fields. In flash I have a page that duplicates all the items and shows them by thumbnails and a view button for each item. The movieclip that does this is for convenience movieclipA. When I press on the view button of an instance of movieclipA a duplicated movieclip takes place that has all the values of the specific item except of the images.
This movieclip - movieclipB duplicates for each item. This works perfect. I also have another movieclip movieclipC The movieclipB is a slideshow and loads the 5 images for an item by a self generated xml file that a php functions produces, depending on the querystring that is the idstring in my actionscript. I mean that inside the movieclipB I do
Code:
my_xml.load("findphoto.php?id=" + idstring);
So far the movieclipB works very well standalone...and this means that if I assign the querystring value inside the movieclip (for example idstring=1 and then call the function as above, the slideshow works verywell. How to pass for each item a different idstring into movieclipB and where exactly to put the movieclipB so it can be duplicated with movieclipA and take the correct idstring to do its job. Everything I tried to pass the idstring failed.
In the flash page among other code that I don't believe it's important, I have the following actionscript in the action layer
Main page frame 1:
PHP Code:
total = showPost.total;
var id:Array = new Array();
var headline:Array = new Array();
var details:Array = new Array();
var thumbnail:Array = new Array();
showPost = new LoadVars();
[Code] .....
VisitorsDetailsClip_mc is the movieclipB I mentioned above. MovieclipA (the one with the thumbnail) and movieclipB are placed on the stage of the main flash page.
I have a map that I created to display some results of asmall town election. There is a statsBox movieClip that pops up onmouseOver on each county that displays the results pulled from anXML file. The statsBox is on the stage and I am dynamicallycreating a movieClip (named candidate) that goes inside of it thatlists the candidate, percentage and so on. As I move around themap, the info for each county gets placed on top of the info fromthe previous county. How do I remove each instance of candidate onmouseOff? This is my code:
function showBox(e:MouseEvent):void {
var raceList:XMLList = xmlData.row.(AreaNum == areaNum
