I'm creating a game which has a healthbar. I want the health bar to blink couple of times when it goes over a certain amount or goes below a certain amount. How could I achieve this in AS3? I have a bar, which is a movie clip. Say it is called

View 9 RepliesIn a Flex 4 app (with Spark components) I have a ViewStack with various screens, and a TabBar to navigate between them. I'd like the screens to be able to "blink" their tab when something happens in them (like Windows task bar buttons).How can I do this? My idea is to hack the blinking state into the screen's label (inherited from NavigatorContent) by putting a * in it when blinking, and somehow reading that in a custom tab bar skin.
View 1 RepliesI have an image on my frame. (a circle). I need this circle to blink on the screen based on user's input. The circle display time and the hide time should be input in a input text box in the beginning. Also this has to blink for "x" number of user defined cycles. I know how to control the delay between blinks but I cannot control the amount of time the circle stays on screen.
View 4 RepliesI am developing a Paint Application is AS3. What I am trying is to basically mimick the MS Paint. I am using vector graphics to implement tools like pencil,line,curve and bitmap to implement bucket tool,spray and eraser. But I faced a problem. While its possible to draw bitmap over vector its not possible to draw vector over bitmap if every drawing is in the same layer.
So the idea that I have is to make it into two layers
Top layer where the vector drawing is done.
In the bottom layer layer after each vector drawing on MOUSE_UP a bitmap copy of the top layer is made and kept on the bottom layer. Keep the top layer fully transparent so that bottom layer is always visible.
Things like flood-fill(bucket tool), spray and eraser will be directly applied to bottom layer.
After each vector is drawn on MOUSE_UP the top layer will be cleared but everything will be visible because it has been re created in the bottom layer and the top layer is full transparent.
My questions are: Is there any flaw in my logic. How to make a bitmap copy of the movie clip on top. I tried but maybe I am stupid it does not work. The name of the MovieClips are topLayer_mc and bottomLayer_mc. What is need to have is to have a function to create a bitmap copy of topLayer_mc on every MOUSE_UP of pencil,line and add it to bottomLayer_mc. I mean create a bitmap copy of topLayer_mc on every MOUSE_UP of pencil, line and add it to bottomLayer_mc. A function will do.
I am trying to stumble my way through learning AS3 while making a game and I would like to create a movie clip from a class but I don't want it to be a boring square, I wanna use a movieclip from the library, how would I do that?

mask_mc.dragCanvas_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onStartDrag);
mask_mc.dragCanvas_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,onStopDrag);

im using Macromedia flash 8 to make this. when i use the glow effect on text, and make a new keyframe to dim the glow again theres a weird blink on that keyframe and im not sure what is wrong.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to blink a movie clip, say every 25 milliseconds. I also want "titleBlink()" function to start after a set delay and then stop blinking after, say, 2 seconds.I've tried using Tweener as the delay, then wrapping the blink code in AS3's timer class, but it didn't work properly.Here is my "blinking" code:

I have an image slide across the screen, depending on where the mouse location is. It looks great in the Flash GUI, but once I publish it, the image appears to blink or go jagged as it moves quickly across the screen. I couldn't figure out if this was a monitor issue, browser issue, or something I'm doing in Flash. It appears to show up differently, depending on what computer I'm using. (tested it on a Macbook Pro, and using a custom windows xp machine) I've tried JPEG smoothing options in the image properties, and setting the quality to "best" in the embed code. (I am not loading these images externally, they're in the .fla)Anyone seen this before? Is it because the image is too large and can't refresh fast enough? (Flash is set to 60fps) [URL](Click on "Let me Play" option, then move the mouse side-to-side)

It's basically a PNG that gets refreshed once a second.
I need to reproduce 3 such screens in flash. The code below works, but the refresh (loadClip) blanks out the previous image before loading the new one, creating a blinking effect.
Is there a way around that? can I refresh the movieclips smoothly, like it was a video?

So I'm making a Flash site that needs to have different swfs on a bunch of different html pages for easy linking purposes. The problem: Even though the swfs are small, as you navigate between pages there is what looks like a white flash just before the swf shows up. I know this is the background of the html page as the swf is loading. Is there any way to load the page in a certain way to avoid this? Would a preloader help? Here's an example of the site:

Im making a game where there are 25 tiles with corresponding questions when you click them. One of the tiles must blink at a time, once the blinking tile was selected it will be hidden and the question will appear. If he answered wrong, the game is over else we will select another blinking tile after answering correctly (but the previous tile is hidden now). So how can i make the tiles blink or change its color using AS? And how i will select the available tiles, where some tiles are already disabled/hidden (already answered)? here is my pseudocode: (im not yet familiar with AS2 OOP concepts so im will use movie clips here & array to save the selected tiles)
select unique random no. from 0 - 25
check if it is in the array1.length not 0 && generated rand. no. is not in the array1
else store generated rand. no. to array1
tell movieclip(array1[0]) goto blink frame
if movieclip(array1[0]) finished blink
goto not blink frame
else hide the tile.
An example of it is viewable here:

The .swfs that make up this website were originally made by somebody else who has asked me to help them get the site working online the way they intended. The main problem I'm having now is making this white space (that appears briefly in shape of .swf's dimensions) go away. The flash projects for the swfs do not even have a white background, neither do the HTML documents. Deadline for solving this problem is early tomorrow and I am stumped. This even happens with tiny, 40kb swfs with preloaders (I thought reducing swf sizes, adding preloaders might solve problem somehow)

Is this possible AS3? I've been searching everywhere for a way to make Movieclip Instances globally accessible and haven't had any luck.I know I can make variables global by making them public and static in the class constructor, but I can't find a resource for objects.
I hear this is typically bad form, but I have a portfolio site where the entire site and it's contents change scale and position for every thumbnail.If I could make things like the BG, border, header, footer etc. globally accessible, I could change them all with a one or two global methods.
