I have a menu that is driven by AS3 and XML, I am trying to simply put a background image behind the menu but when I import a jpg and place onto the stage the background is always in front of the menu? The menu is an external AS file and is not on the timeline. What I can do to get the image to sir behind the menu?

View 2 Replieseverything is working well with the exception of the background image/stage. Whenever I preview it in a browser, the site gets stuck in the upper left corner. I need it to automatically resize according the to viewers browser size. How do I do this? From what I've seen online, it involves possibly putting everything in a movieclip, which I can do, I just don't know how to proceed from there.
View 2 RepliesI'm wondering if I can lower the transparency of any skin in QuickBox2D, I have searched the documentation but I can't find it. Transparency value or filters(Multiply/Overlay). Example: If I create a movieclip, and make it overlayed and then call it through a QuickBox2D, it will become invisible. I want to blend skins with the stage background image. [URL]
View 1 RepliesI have been struggling with this with CS4 and CS5. I am working on an animation with a couple of characters comprised of several pngs I converted to symbols. When one characters symbols overlap another characters the swf file shows the stage color rather than the background image I have placed in the file. I can publish it as an html with the option of playing it windowless transparent and it will remove this problem. But I would like to just be able to play the swf file without this issue.

View 1 Repliesi have a menu which has 10 items. there are sub menus for each of them. the submenus total to 40 items. and when i click on ech of these submenus, then i need an image to appear on a part of the stage. Now, I need the same effect for ech of the image. Say when i click on the 1st submenu of the 1st main menu, the image of an apple comes from the bottom the stage to the centre of the stage.
Now when I click on any other submenu - say 1st submenu of the 3rd main menu, this apple image should go off the stage from the top and an image of mango should appear from the bottom of the stage to the centre of the stage (same as how apple image appeared). So, basically, i need any image to come from the bottom of the stage to centre of the screen and whn a diff image is calld, the image on the screen shld go off frm centre to the top.
I did a website using actionscript 2 where the content was centered on the browser window both vertically and horizontally.
e.g. [URL]
all that took was a small piece of actionscript code that i can't remember now.
Now using actionscript 3, I can't find such code anywhere, instead I am guided towards using dreamweaver and css which seems like a nightmare for me to achieve. Such a fundamental thing should be possible with minimum effort surely?
Also, I have a similar problem where I'm trying to repeat tile or just add a textured background behind the stage. This also seems like I'm having to use html/css to achieve. I'd rather just use flash if possible??
trying to print a movieclip with a white backgroundwhile keeping the stage background black.The movieclip,printResults_mc has a white rectangle in the bottom layer, 850pixels x 1100 pixels. The following function scales printResults_mcto the printers printable area but because isimpossible to predict the aspect ratio of the printable area someblack background always leaks out. I tried making the whitebackground 20 pixels larger than I need (870 x 1120) and thensetting a crop rectangle in addPage of (10,10,850,1100), no luck,the black stage background just fills in the area outside the crop.A simple solution would be to temporarily set the stage backgroundcolor property to white, print, then set it back to black, but I

View 1 RepliesI am relatively new to Flash CS3 and i have been learning Action-script 3 over the past week. I have come quite a long way and i have made a site in flash but i just have a question.I have been using an image as my background and i am happy with the way flash automatically scales all the objects in my file but the background image does not scale. Is there a way to do this? I have found out things online which show me how to add auto-resizing to the background but this knocks off the flash auto scaling/resizing for everything else.

View 8 RepliesI have designed a menu that When you mouse over it, a custom cursor appears. When you mouse down it disappears and when you mouse up it returns. If you happen to mouse down and then drag the mouse off of the menu (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up outside the menu, the custom cursor disappears. All good. The only issue is: If you happen to mouse down on the menu and then drag the mouse off of the menu AND off of the stage, i.e the SWF (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up completely off of the stage, the custom cursor appears at the point it left the menu. I have tried to fix this using MOUSE_LEAVE but this dosnt work when the mouse button is pressed down. I have attached an FLA, SWF and the AS below.
Code:
stop();
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;

I am developing a website in flex. And in that, i am trying to set the background image of my application. like this: parentApplication.setStyle("backgroundImage", data.image_src);
From a different location.
My issue is that, the images that i have are small and hence they are being stretched when used as background images. I want to avoid that from happening. How can i do it?
was wondering if anyone could assist me with some actionscript. I am working on a project similar to this (thehideout.org.uk/refuge/) and making the background image move around as if it the scene is a POV.
