View 6 RepliesIf I have a piece of a function that is telling Flash to:
// show a hover color

How do I tell Flash to call a MovieClip as opposed to setRGB for the background MovieClip?
I am just wondering how u make a movieclip the background to a flash page using coding from as3? Also, how would u get that movieclip, to be the perfect scale? For example, the movieclip does not stretch, distort, but yet fills the screen of a computer no matter wat the computer's set resolution is. Lastly, how do u get a pixelated / halftonish effect on ur movie clips? (the "experiences" page has an example of what I am talking about.) The site below has an example of everything I am describing: [URL]

View 1 RepliesI've designed a Flash site in CS3 using Action Script 2.0 that has a main flash movie sorta floating in space over a gradient background. I want the gradient background to re-size with the browser, so I thought that the easiest way to do this would be to delete the gradient background in Flash and instead recreate the background in Dreamweaver using the repeat background option and then make the Flash movie's background transparent. (I hope I'm making some amount of sense here).
I've found a few tutorials on how to do this, but so far I just get a white background instead of transparent. I've tried choosing "Transparent - Windowless" under Window Mode on the HTML tab in Publish Settings. And I've tried selecting the movie from within DW and clicking the parameter button and adding a "wmode" parameter with "transparent" as its value.
i need help about a MC created by AS 3. This MC is Reflect class that extends MC class; when i instance it, the newer Mc is always on the foreground, even if its layer is on the backgrond. So what i have to do?
View 3 Repliesthis is a movieClip with a textField placed over it. I would like to change the movie clips color when clicked, but not the text color.
var myColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
myColorTransform.color = 0xFFFFFF;
mc.transform.colorTransform = myColorTransform;
When I try the code above it changes the whole movie clip color, text included. Is there a way to just change the background movieclip color and keep the text un changed?
I am using MX 04 and I have a rather large background for my movie 2046x396 and I made it into a mc to pan right to left... it looks ok in the designer and plays fine in the library, but with I testrun the movie it looks like the image is getting smeared on the screen... the movie speed is 60fps and the background mc I have tried from 100 to 300 frame motion tween.

View 2 RepliesI have the following package[code]...
1. The class instantiates and adds a number as text on top of the image that I created the MovieClip class from
2. As the main class of the fla rotates images it calls the loadItem() function of each corresponding button.
3. That function starts the timer and, on each tick of the timer, the background image changes.
What is happening right now with this code is that the new image (that I want to be the background image behind the text) is coming in on top of the text.
Is there a way to simply replace the image currently loaded into the MovieClip.
When the xml file of images is loaded, I place each image into an element of an Array so I can handle them individually. Problem I am having now is this. When image at element 1 is pressed, it should become one of my movie clips background. I am using some code I was using in as3, when the image wasnt in an Array and it worked fine. Now I am in AS2, and the image is in an Array, it doesnt seem to work. Additionally, I get no errors whatsoever.
The code for this is
picHolder[1].onPress = function() {
picHolder[1].width = card.width;
picHolder[1].height = card.height;
picHolder[1].x = 0;
picHolder[1].y = 0;
card.addChild(picHolder[1]);
};
Whereby picHolder[1] is an image, and card is my movie clip. If I do picHolder[1].startDrag(true), I can pick up and drag the image. So, I know I am dealing with the correct image here. Should I be doing the above differently when working with an Array?
On the stage I have a movieclip with an animation inside it, at the moment I've given to its background the same color of the stage to simulate a transparence.Now I've added some decorations to the bottom left corner of the stage and this movieclip lays a bit over the decoration showing that in truth the movieclip is not transparent because it covers part of the decoration.Is there a way to make the movieclip background really transparent?I've checked where I apply colors to elements, but there is not a "transparent" option, or at least I havent seen it.

I have created a scrolling background as per the instructions on website [url]...and I want to place objects on top of it. To get the effect that I want the instructions say to do the following:
"1. Put the Cloud ActionScript in a MovieClipCreate a new MovieClip, cut all the ActionScript from the main stage and paste it into the MovieClip. Go back to the main stage. Open the library and drag an instance of the Movieclip with the ActionScript on Stage.

I have some text placed on the 'canvas' in Flash. I also draw some stuff in an onEnterFrame function on the main timeline. The stuff I draw in the onEnterFrame gets placed behind the text I have on the canvas. I'd really like to have the stuff I draw in front, but I don't know how to accomplish this.
View 1 RepliesI'm very close to achieving the desired effect, however, i have been stopped dead in my tracks. I Used Pom's Real/Fake Mask Drag tutorial, so I have that set, however, my problem is getting the ripples to mask...
I have the background, and then I have the other movieclip that is supposed to mask the background (ripple).However, it either does not mask, or it only masks the first frame of the "ripple" mc...
(oh, btw...the ripple MC is dragged by the mouse, so the ripples follow the mouse. I saw an effect like this, a looooong time ago, probly in the days of Flash 3, and i was curious how to go about it, so I have been trying for the last few weeks...)
I want a MovieClip to play as its loading the content in the background, I already have the MC animated, the "loader", how do I do this! I tried this way
frame1
ifFrameLoaded ("end") {
gotoAndPlay ("Start");
}
frame 2
gotoAndPlay(1);
layer 2
loader
Thats all it works the only problem is, that I realized is that its dependent of connection speed, what I mean is that if you have a 200KB/s connection it will load so fast that it doesnt play the complete animation and I set the simulate download speed to like 50KB/s and it does play completely. So my question is will this happen when it's online?
I am downloading an external swf file, which contains a library movieclip which I want to go through and extract bitmapdata of each frame. to do this I am using a for loop on this bit of code:
Code:
var tmpBMData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(baseObj.width, baseObj.height);
tmpBMData.draw(baseObj);
Problem is, when I stick that bitmapdata in a new bitmap and put it on the stage, the bit of the mc I am interested in is surrounded by a white square. Not sure if this is something I need to handle in the Flex AS3 or the Flash CS5 used to create the swf.

How do I tell Flash to call a MovieClip as opposed to setRGB for the background MovieClip?
How do you control the background color of a movie clip and the stage? i have thought about placing a mc within the mc as a backround_mc, then change the tint attribute from my main timeline, is this on the right track?
i have a movie where a user loads images into an image viewer (mc) i have craeted. If a user clicks on gallery 1, the loader appears, and load the jpg and then tells the viewer to show onceloaded. But, if a user clicks on gallery 1, then clicks on gallery 2, the movie finishes loading picture 1, before loading picture 2, is there any waqy i can force the loader to stop loading one,a dn load two immediately.
I am trying to create a website. The main timeline has graphics, movie clip buttons and a movie clip which is the background of the content. Within the background I have another movie clip which has the text and fades in. What I am trying to do here is make the movie clip button trigger the content movie clip that its within the background movie clip. I tried everything but keeps going in loops.
View 1 RepliesI am using CS3, AS2.I have a background image that I am allowing the user to select multiple layers over the top of (layer 1: new pattern, Layer 2: design) and the movieclips have the Blend: Overlay applied to them. My problem is when they select a second option (or a second overlay is applied to the background) the overlay shows the layer belows pattern in the new layer.My question is, is there a way to have the the two movieclips ignore each other and only apply the Blend:Overlay to the background movieclip?
