Would like to know is it possible to dynamically generate a range of colours. Eg. from red to green ["0xFF0000", "00FF00"]Specifying a range of 100 in between colours Final results of an array of 100 colours ["0xFF0000", .., ..., ......, ..., ..., "0x00FF00"]

I would like to have a variable transparency for a Flex UI container. The upper half of the container should be completely opaque but the lower part of it should smoothly change from completely opaque to completely transparent.
View 1 Replieshow to describe what I want, but here goes. Assume I have 3 textboxes, and I enter some colour hex code in the first one, I want to apply a black layer on top of it, and have the opacity set to 50% and get the resulting colour in the second text box. Same thing, but with white on the third one.
Let me explain: consider this image below: In Photoshop, I have the base layer which is sort of sky blue in colour. I create two layers on top of it, one with black, one with white but both have an opacity of 50%. Now, I can use the colour picker (I) to simply select the two wanted colours.
I am having to do this an insane amount of times so I was wondering if I could produce it programatically.
I know, Ideally I should have tried out something, then give out the code which isn't working.. but this has stumped me enough that I don't even know where to start. The closest thing I've seen is Kuler so I think it is possible in flash at least, but then again, I don't know where to start.
Technology is not important to me, solution is - I am most comfortable with c# (at least I like to think I am) but I am a beginner in php, flash. Jquery, I am good at it with most stuff (well, who isn't?) - Php and Flash, I learnt it as a hobby just to familiarize myself.
I'm working on a project and the deadline is near but I'm stuck at making my video presentation work. So here's the problem: it should be played linearly and non-linearly. Because the video files are long, i keep them in 9 seperate swfs. If you don't press any buttons, the presentation runs smoothly, but the problems start when you try to jump forward/backward to another part. Here's my code so far (I don't have much experience with as3, so it's mostly based on tutorials):
Code:
var clips:Array = ["swf/btn1.swf", "swf/btn2.swf", "swf/btn3.swf", "swf/btn4.swf", "swf/btn5.swf", "swf/btn6.swf", "swf/btn7.swf", "swf/btn8.swf", "swf/btn9.swf"];
var index:int = 1;
[Code]....
When I click on a button, it plays the same swf over and over... but i want to keep it in order (such as in the array). It used to work, but I had problems with sound and must've messed something up.
I'm working on generating a dynamic menu from a WDDX data set, and I'm having a little difficulty with looping through the information.
What I'm trying to do is: if this city = last city, attachMovieClip A. if this city != last city, attachMovieClip B. that works fine, but...What I need to do is figure out a way not to repeat a duplicate record... the way it is now, if this city and last city match, it will place movie clip A, which is good, but if there are three instances of the same city, it will place three movie clip As. what sort of looping I'd need to do not to repeat records, yet still place the delightful movieClip A on the stage?
I've a flash template and the variables are editable in XML files. I need to define a gradient on dynamic text, Here's the code in the flash actionscript that i think it's linking to xml:
/*
we color the item elements
*/

anyone has ideas for defining a linear gradient?? i've researched and try somethings but this is really not my field, and I seem to keep failing.
I'm building a website. The background for each of the sections of the site is a different colored linear gradient. Does anyone have any ideas on how to build a class, prototype or series of functions that will dynamically change the background gradient from one colored gradient to another over a period of time?

I'm trying to create spinning rays in actionscript to use in my website.Below is the rough idea of what i'm trying to create.Is it possible to create absolutely with 0 images.Following is the actionscript code in which i couldn't figure out how to add gradient, transperant background and little radial gradient to create glow effect.
Code:
function CreateRays():Shape {
var ray:Shape = new Shape();
ray.graphics.beginFill(0xFF9900,.5);
ray.graphics.lineStyle(1,0xFF9900,.5);
[code]....
If you paste above code in 1st frame of your scene with nothing on your scene, it will give you sweet rotating rays!
AS3 to animate dynamic xml text values to -X direction means left side of the screen. The text boxes will be holding dynamic numbers which willl be basically some amounts passed by the user and these amounts will be animated as running towards left. For getting these dynamic text values from an external XML file every n second say every 5 second the xml connection will be refreshed with a timer. Now am working on is like creating text boxes at run time as per the number of amounts coming to the flash while refreshing once. Here the issue what am facing is like first time when the flash loads then there will be some 10 values so 10 text boxes will be generated and the movieclip holding these will be moving to -x direction with a timer, so when the next time the connection refreshes its again creating new text boxes and appending the movieclip and this process repeats in every refresh, if a new value is coming to the flash may be in 6th refreshing time then to see this new values there is a big delay happening because all the old generated set of amounts has to be moved to see the new one. Here we are looking for a instant change on these amounts once the new values gets to flash.

Is there a function in AS3 where it interpolates between 2 values as if it were 0-100? For the After Effects users, it's the linear(val1, val2, 0, 100) I think, where it would "normalize" values 1 and 2 and interpolate as if it were 0-100.
I have 2 circles that are acting as the tape in a cassette tape music player, and as it plays, one spool shrinks as the other grows. It's easy to get the scaling, but I need it to start at scale = .5 and end at 1.If I just add and subtract values, it'll grow past 1 or get incorrect size results.
Code:
function changeTape(timeE:Event):void {
var percentPlayed:Number = (channel.position / sound.length);
left_tape.scaleX = 1 - percentPlayed;

Is there a place online where I can find like 16 linear gradients that match good with each other? I need them for a chart of mine and the ones generated (by Flex) aren't good enough.
So, I'm kind off searching for a library of gradients (linear in my case).

I am just starting test Flash CS4 Pro. I am trying to do my first wery simple project. I found from this site [URL] where is nice sub menu effect where menu fading from up to down. I have done text based buttons so is it easiest way do this linear alpha by Tweens or just using some how timeline?
View 6 RepliesI have my actionscripts tweens set up. I have six different movieclips that need to move/fade one after the other (in a linear sequence). When I run the movie they all move at the same time. I thought of setInterval() but does that mean I need a unique function for moving each clip?
View 1 RepliesI am gradually learning Flash and am able to play a 56 frame movie clip in frame 5 using stop(); on the main level. What I don't know is how to move onto frame 6 on the main level once the clip is finished.
View 7 RepliesI am feeling creative & think it would be cool to have a preloader that isn't just the standard bar preloader.
What I have in mind is to have a word being spelled out as the page is loaded. So the loader 'fills' from point A to point B, but not necessarily along a straight line.
It would need to follow a path. I've seen various animated preloaders but they all seem to go along a straight line, even if bubbling or moving.
I'm making changes to this website i didn't build everything was going fine with the xml. I have to make changes to this file called content.swf but i don't know how this file was created, i'm assuming it was created with a file called Main.as When I try to export Main.as a swf i get this mx.core error. I know this is a flex package. I download flex sdk 3 and 4. When I try to export Main.as in flash CS5 it tells me I need to locate the flex path, so i choosed flex sdk3 and flex sdk4 on two different occasions it still wont work.
Here is the window that pop ups:"You have used a feature that requires Flex SDK:"Embed" metadata set the Flex SDK path if necessary and add it to the library path for this file. The Flex SDK folder contains the bin, frameworks, lib and other folders:

View 6 RepliesI've built a slider which also contains an input textfield. the slider can be dragged and it's value will be updated in the textfield. a user can also enter a value in the textfield which will then be reflected in the slider. All is fine thusfar. However, I'd like to figure out how to give the slider an exponential scale instead of a linear one. Say the slider has a minimum value of 0 and a max of 100. When the slider is dragged halfway then using a linear scale it's value would ofcourse be 0.5 * 100 = 50. To calculate the value for the exponential scale I use
