Is it possible to have a single jpg (1024x768) scale up & down with the browser window (no matter the aspect ratio, stretched to 100% browser width/height), while keeping the foreground content (most likely added via loadMovie) in a fixed scale and centered on the screen? An example can be seen on the Second Story home page.
View 9 RepliesI have created a Flash application running in a browser (Firefox 3 on Windows XP). When I move this application from foreground to background and (after some time) viceversa, I notice a considerable slowdown, i.e. for about thirty seconds the application becomes unusable.
My swf is very small (~200 KB), but this swf creates *many* buttons and *many* other graphical widget (with statical images), so the RAM occupied is considerable (~150 MB).
I initially assumed that was caused by the swap mechanism of the operating system or of the browser. This was *not* true, and it was confirmed by the fact that, by default, Mozilla Firefox prevent Windows from swapping out memory when the program is minimized (see config.trim_on_minimize option). Nothing has changed even disabling the paging system of Windows.[code]...

I want to move "riproduzioneDetails" MC on foreground, but when i attempt to launch application, it give me this error: TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null
it is possible to have a foreground when using getNextHighestDepth? The problem i have is that unless the foreground is the highest depth then anything else attached after that will appear over it rather than under.

I am searching for a way to have my spritevisualelement have round corners so that it is displayed in a circular shape.The SpriteVisualElement contains a Video Stream from FMS to display but I do not want it to be rectangular.[code] But the Container keeps being in the background and the whole remote Video which is displayed in the "vid" (=id) is in the foreground.How can I set the Container to be in Foreground? then just setting whole application background would do the job.

View 5 RepliesIs there an event dispatched when a modal is brought to the front in Flex? Basically there are two times when I would want to listen for this event: When the modal is first created (although in theory creationComplete / show / etc.. could suffice here). When the user brings a modal that is not in the front to the front by clicking on it. In my case the popups I am working with are descendants of TitleWindow and listening for focusIn does not seem to work reliably.
View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip showing party streamers animating upwords, and another movieclip that has letters falling into place. What I want is for the streamers to be in the background and the letters to be in the foreground.
The AS for the streamers is -
import com.effects.BackgroundEffect;
var effect:BackgroundEffect = new BackgroundEffect ();
effect.bgEffect ("effect28","up",0.3,{zigZag:z = new Array (1, 30)});
[Code].....
I have tried giving the attachmovie click various depths, but that makes no difference. how to make sure the new BackgroundEffect movie clip appears in the background?
If I have a piece of a function that is telling Flash to:
// show a hover color
var col = new Color(this.background);
col.setRGB(0xf4faff);
How do I tell Flash to call a MovieClip as opposed to setRGB for the background MovieClip?
this 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. Now the dynamic clouds are inside a static Movieclip, which means you can now put things above it without using dynamic attachment. [code]...
Im trying to use a Flv video effect like a movie clip in As3...
I want this Flv effect to work like my background on my WebSite... i already imported the flv and convert it to a movieclip... but i dont dont the code to make it work like my background always in loop.. and when i enter a certain frame...
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.)

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?

View 1 RepliesI 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.
