I am trying to create an effect that when someone clicks a button it opens a movieclip. I want everything behind that movieclip to get dark so that the only option is to click on a button in the open movieclip.

I have a main stage (its a background image + buttons) and when I click a button, an external swf is loaded in the middle of the page, on the main stage.
I would like the main stage to become inactive, dark and blurry... (you know what I mean?)...every time I click a button and the the external swf appears. Then when I click on the blurry area (main Stage), the external swf disappears and the main Stage becomes normal and active again.
How could I do all that in AS 3?
All I have now is the code for the button, to open the external swf file:
Code: Select allcontacts.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Contacts);
function Contacts(e:MouseEvent):void {
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
[Code]....
What is the code to make a movie clip button....when pressed...open or plays another movieclip...example.i have a button..and its a movie clip with roll over and rollout effect..once pressed...how do i make it link to an outside movieclip.
View 6 RepliesHow do you make a movieclip move horizontally from the start of the stage to 3/4 of the stage. Stage size is 700 px by 600 px i want just one row in the middle of the stage. i want that movieclip to disappear right after it reach the end of the 3/4 mark.
View 1 RepliesI got a website that has different buttons that each open a different movieclip (a window with content).
But some buttons will have to open the same movieclip as the other button...
So, to make it bit better to understand than my weird explanation above:
Button1
}---- Open Movieclip (content window) 1
Button2
[Code]....
I'm using flash 8/actionscript 2, I'm trying to load or make an existing movie clip appear on the stage.
Here's my script:
var shopBT:movieClip;
shop_btn.onRollOver = function(){
shopSUB.attachMovie("shopSUB", "shopSUB", getNextHighestDepth());
shopSUB._x = shop_btn._x + 5;
shopSUB._y = shop_btn._y;
}
I'm trying to make a movieclip push out from the center of the stage, but I'm having a problem with the math.I made an function, but it pushes out in a diamond shape.
Code:
function newCords(newX:Number, newY:Number, distance){
var centerX = Stage.width/2;
var centerY = Stage.height/2;[code].....
I would like to take a straight line/rectangle that is already created on stage and tween it with as3 so that when mouse is down, i can drag and bend it into an ark shape, and when i release the shape snaps back to its originally form?
View 2 Replieshow some websites you click on something, a flash window (I'm assuming it's a flash window) pops up and everything goes dark around it (and you can't click anywhere) until you close the window.
View 5 RepliesI'm tring to create a roll over effect. I have 4 Pictures: Let's Say A B C D. If I roll over A I want the other picture to have a transparent light box on top so it looks like A is the main focus. So if you roll over A the other pictures will turn dark and A will keep its color. I can do this by making A a symbol and then putting a transparent png dark box on top of B C D. That works. What doesn't work is when I go back to the original time frame and make B a button also. When I add the roll over effect, it only does it for that. Let me show you in pictures.
<---- that is the original
<---- When I roll over A
<---- When I roll over B
The last two are made using two different flash files. I can't put them together in one. If I put them together and roll over on A, It comes out like this.
I get a weird bug only on Mac, only on Safari. On Pc, on Safari it's ok:
when I click to allow the camera the text, that is contained in a movieclip, the xmas ball and the snow fail the transparency on the video!
I created these buttons that should do the following screen. Be dark when the mouse is not over them. Smoothly transit to a brighter colour when the mouse get's over them and then again smoothly transit to dark when the mouse get's away. To do so I created 2 animations the one that gets the button darker and the one that gets the button brighter (which is actually the normal picture of the button). The button statuses are these:
UP: Bright to Dark animation
OVER: Dark to Bright animation
DOWN: Bright picture
HIT: Bright picture
now the buttons work perfectly except for the fact that when i turn on the scene before they get dark the buttons have to go through the up animation (bright to dark) so it looks like turning all the lights off. How do i have my buttons start off being dark?
In the first button i am not able to remove the dark border from the button. I want exactly like 2nd button.
I am using the following CSS for button:
fillAlphas: 1, 1, 1, 1;
fillColors: #FCB913, #FC8613, #D4652D, #B34A2A;
themeColor: #FABA0A;

When watching a video on youtube you get a dark player But when you embed you get the standard light player
So,How can I change the embedded video to use the dark controls?
I know that I can view the source and copy the object for the video... but there has to be a more "official" way of doing this.
I've seen this being done before and I thought it would be easy, but got stumped when trying to replicate it. I'm trying to create a function in flash which will take dark pixels of an image of hair and lighten it and maybe add colour too... Is that really tough to do or does anyone have an easy way around it? Example: [URL]
View 2 RepliesI am a super noob at actionscript. And I want my button to open a movieclip and then close the movieclip when clicked on again. I have no idea what to add after that here is the code I have for the button so far.....this button opens it.
on(release){
this.linemc5.gotoAndPlay("ear");
}
and this is another button I made that can close it, but I want it to be in the same button rather than seperate.
on(release){
this.linemc5.gotoAndPlay("earclose");
}
I am just starting to use CS3 and ActionScript 3.0 and running into a few minor problems. I have my "home" button in my main menu. When I click that button, I want my opening animation which is my index.swf file to load on the stage. I used to be able to do this with a simple LoadMovie ("index.swf", 0). How would I go about doing that?

View 9 RepliesAnyone else has experienced weird behaviors and unexpected values when checking for stage.stageHeight while you have Bandwith Profiler open in Flash IDE?
I have been using this for testing Perlin Noise stuff:
[Code]...
As you see here, the swf is set to a height of 400 When executed with test movie, control-enter, the trace returns 400 .. now, if you try this with the Bandwidth Profiler open, it would return 300, and the Sprite would only extend to 300 height.
i saw a thread while ago .. that always position a movieclip in the middle of the stage even if the stage or window resize any1 can point me to it

If you press "s" repeatly it continues to open the window over and over without it finish fully playing, is there a way to add a timer to the "s" so it can only work once every few seconds or possibly a way to make the url completly open before you can press the "s" again??

I have a bunch of flv files and at the momment when a user clicks on the link to each of the files on my site, they are prompted to download each FLV file or asked how to open the video. Is it possible so that when the user clicks on the link the file opens and plays in a flv player( not embedded though), without asking to be downloaded or how to open the video ? Do i have to somehow add the player code to the flv file ?

View 1 RepliesI'm building a kind of dynamic level generator, at the moment I have it draw a grid of alternating coloured squares/plots (for visual debug), currently set at 1 pixel which I then scale up so they are easier to see. I make a list of all these open 'plots' in an array(maybe a dictionary would be better?)... Next I draw a random selection of roads on top of my grid in another sprite. Ranging in width from 2 to 8 plots. First drawing all the horizontal, and then the vertical ones. Now I'm wondering what would be the best way of finding all the plots/pixels that these roads occupy?I thought perhaps I could draw the roads into bitmap data, and then find the x,y values of all the black pixels? something like:
PHP Code:
var bData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(roads.width, roads.height, false);
bData.draw(roads)

How on earth do I get the HTML links inside a flash movie open up in the same browser window where said movie is embedded in (As opposed to opening up as a new pop-up windows)? Here is the code I have inside each of the buttons I have inside my flash movie:
var link7:URLRequest=new URLRequest("videos/december.html");
videos_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClicked7);
function buttonClicked7(event:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(link7);
}
Im guessing this is linked to actionscript,Ive made 2 buttons, One named Home, And another Exit,When home is clicked i want it to open a certain scene in this case called S Home,And when exit is clicked i want it to open the scene S Exit,How to do this?I will explain my problem more if needed,You could maybe call this linking a button,Only it opens a new scene rather than .html or an website
