Actionscript - Apply A Transparent Circle To A Flash Movieclip?
Mar 18, 2011Is there a way to make part of a movieclip transparent? Using actionscript that is.I want to create 'holes' in a movieclip so I can see through it.If needed I guess I can change the movieclip into a sprite if that makes it easier, but I am unfamiliar with flash so I need to learn the proper way to do such a thing.
View 3 RepliesFlash :: Forward MouseEvent In Transparent Bitmap To Underlying MovieClip
Mar 24, 2011So I'm Bitmaping some heavy stuff to try bring down the [pre-render] and [render] which is quite high according to FlashBuilder's profiling. I thought this was going well until I realised that as soon as you change a MovieClip to a Bitmap, you lose the pixel based accuracy of the mouse move events (Over, Out, Move...), all your left with is the entire bounding box of the Bitmap, something which is less than desirable. I've got a game where many Bitmapped assets would be on top of each other in a scene, on the stage, arranged in various ways and need to have that pixel accuracy moving between each one and have exhausted my efforts as to how to achieve the same mouse move results with the Bitmapped guys as normal.
This, [URL], is a FLA which shows this operation, and you can see how it works here, [URL]. When it loads up, both items on stage are drawn Shapes, encapsulated in MovieClips, both that get a glow, if you hover over them. If you click the stage at all, the purple guy gets turned into a Bitmap and now, his 'hit area', when it comes to MouseEvents is his whole bounding box and you can only get through to the back green item at the edge slivers.
I'm also tracing the pixel which the mouse is over, so I can clearly tell when the mouse is over a transparent area, it's 0, but how can I tell the event to forward itself on down the chain to the green MovieClip?
Below is how it's now pretty much working for me,
var bitmap:Bitmap = this['bitmap'];
var shouldMouseOver:Boolean = bitmap.bitmapData.getPixel(event.localX - bitmap.x, event.localY - bitmap.y);
if(shouldMouseOver)
[Code].....
I shut off mouseEnabled for my item, when I know it's wrong, then I search for another item that properly fits the bill and if there is one, send an Event to that and break. If that one's also wrong, it'll do the same again, but each time taking themselves out of the loop.
This does work exactly how I want it to, but I'd always prefer to keep things like globalToLocal and looping, and reading from arrays for not frequently updated methods like listeners to MOUSE_MOVE. Is there a more efficient way to do this?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Apply A Fisheye Effect To Movieclip?
Jan 31, 2011I am trying to apply a fisheye effect to a movie clip that has a tween along its "x" axis. Currently, everything is working.. ALMOST.
The fisheye effect is applied to the movieclip and the tween is applied to an object inside that movie clip, both the fisheye and tween work here. The problem is that when the object being tweened passes too far outside the "displacer" that is making the fisheye effect, it is dragging the displacer with it and causing an unwanted look[code]...
Professional :: Apply An Existing Filter To A MovieClip?
Jul 5, 2011Flash Pro CS5 I have a plan view png made into a movieclip of a car which follows a motion guide changing direction as it travels. I select the MC in frame 1 and go to properties, filter section is currently empty and I select dropshadow from the filter choices, adjusting the angle and opacity. Looks good test movie and car runs without shadow after fr1. Methinks I need to apply it to the car in the last frame (no other keyframes between by the way), I select the car and then cannot see how to apply the filter that is now showing in the properties window. How does one apply an existing filter to a movieclip ?
Is this then what is needed to get the car to have the shadow cast north west throughout its journey ? Applying the filter to the MC at start and end of the tween ?

I have added a reflection, and it works just great. But i would like to make the right and the left side fade to transparent. I have tried to make a little demo here: [URL]
The first movie looks good, but only because I have faded from nothing to black and the background is black on the home page. And as you can see, the movie does not look that great, when the background is white.
I found this link: [URL], but I can't figure out how to implement it into my already "working" slideshow.

Jan 7, 2011i have been working on a rts game for a little while now and i am struggling to find a way to implement a game menu. I want to have a small menu at the top of the screen and a large menu on the bottom with gameplay in the middle.

Jul 9, 2011i'm breaking my head over something, and will be very grateful to any creative ideas:
I created kind of drag and drop game: i have cards that should be placed on squares.
in case the card touches any square, the square changes it's color. the problem occurs when the card touches 2 squares at their middle: they both change their color.
in fact, I need that only one of the square will change it's color, and it should be the square that the card touches it with "the most of him". i thought of using the hitpoint but i know it won't work, because in case the card touches both square in the middle it won't work..
ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Load Jpg Into MovieClip And Apply Class Instance
Aug 26, 2008I'm working on a photo-sharing demo using AS2.0, I would like to dynamically load photos (stored as jpgs in the .fla's local directory) into MovieClips, and apply a class instance to them. Currently, for debugging, I've imported jpgs to the Stage, converted them to MovieClips, and then accessed their linkage properties, setting them to the class I need them to implement. But for the final application all of this will have to be done with code.
I know how to dynamically load the jpg into a MovieClip using loadImage(), and I know how to create a MovieClip that is an instance of a class by using attachMovie() with a library symbol and the class name. How do I combine the two? Is there a way to access the linkage properties of a MovieClip dynamically?

Actionscript 3 :: Draw Transparent Graphics Onto Transparent BitmapData?
Feb 5, 2012I'm trying to draw PNGs onto BitmapData that is transparent.
I create my BitmapData like this (using ARGB for the color):
new BitmapData(width, height, true, 0x00000000);
And clean it by using the same ARGB value:
bitmapData.fillRect(bitmapData.rect, 0x00000000);
When I use copyPixels() to draw graphics onto the cleaned BitmapData, I get this result:
If I don't use ARGB for the BitmapData color, it works fine:
But I have to specify a solid fillColor, meaning I can't render what's behind the Bitmap.
How can I make my BitmapData transparent, but not have the above occur?
