ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Create Glow Without Using Filter
May 12, 2011
I am creating an application for iPhone4, and one of the problems I am having is the lack of filter support. I am trying to create a "stroke" around some bitmaps... an example would be a text field that is white on a bright background - I would put a black stroke around it to contract it... there are other needs as well, but this is an example.
Before, I would just put a glow filter on the text field, tweak the settings and it looked good and did exactly what I wanted.But iPhone4 high resolution with gpu acceleration don't support filters - and I can't change those requirements... so any and all bitmap filters are out. Any way I can create a glow filter effect without using filters that would not be a major performance hit for fps and memory?

I need to highlight a button's border, so I have created a glow filter like this:
<s:GlowFilter id="GlowFilter1"
color="0xD9D919"
blurX="30" blurY="40"
alpha="1"
/>
The problem is that I don't know to remove the effect. The effect remains in the opction as it was highlighted. Thus, I'd like to set a duration, or something that removes the effect I create.

I'm trying to apply/remove a glow filter to a movie clip on a MOUSE_OVER/MOUSE_OUT event. Basically when I hover over a movie clip I want the glow to animate on, and then animate back off when I mouse out.

I'm trying to add a glow filter to a single MovieClip out of a few I've got on my stage. This is what I've got so far but for some reason it applies the filter to absolutely every layer on stage, instead of just the one MC I want..
[Code]...
Come to think of it, all I'd really need would be a stroke, rather than a glow; but I don't know of any "stroke filter".. If the big picture would help at all, what I'm trying to do is "add" borders to a few (intersecting and growing) disk layer masks.. I'd like the stroke intersection to look like the "Liquid Form" found here: [URL]

I am trying to apply the glow filter to a dynamic text box when the text is clicked on. However this seems to be canceling the rest of my animations. The text glows for a moment or two when clicked upon, but then it disappears and the url address it is linked to does not appear. Below is the code I'm currently trying to use.
Code:
text1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, MouseDown);
var color:Number = 0x003366;
var alphas:Number = .8;
var blurX:Number = 5;
var blurY:Number = 2.5;
[Code] .....

I've seen this a couple of times on different projects, not sure if it has something to do with how I positiion things, but curious if anyone else ever sees this. Sometimes when I add a GlowFilter to a MovieClip the MovieClip seems to move just a fraction.

[URL] This is the link of my project. I embedded a kind of pixlated customfont say "font.tff". As you can see the clock in the right corner uses this font, but the glow behind it, doesn't (on my other computer it is). How do I fix this? I already manually embedded the characters at the dynamic textfield. If you hover over the "city" in middle left, you'll see a stats window. The font there works fine.

I'm working with a main .swf and several external .swfs that are loaded into the main timeline via a movieclip. Is it possible to add an eventListener in a main .swf's timeline that listens for when the external .swf reaches its last frame? What I would like to do is when the external .swf reaches its last frame, the next button on the main .swf's timeline would add the [glow] filter to the next button.

I was given the following code to establish a motion tween for five different movie clips. The code also ensures that a glow filter is applied at 5-second intervals. My user has now requested that the code be changed to ensure the following occurs:
Once glow filter has been applied to the darkBlue_mc and when the glow filter is beginning to be applied to the red_mc, then the glow needs to disappear from the darkBlue_mc, and so on through all five movie clips, so only the current movie clip should have the glow filter shown. When the glow filter is applied to the last movie clip, which is lightBlue_mc, then he wants all movie clips to have the glow filter applied after a five second delay.
ActionScript Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import flash.filters.GlowFilter;
var textCount:int = 0;

I made a gradient glow within the FLASH IDE on one of my textfields. I was wondering if there is a way to change the glow in as3? Apparently you can not change the glow in the flash IDE. It has to be white/black gradient.

Trying to create a profanity filter for an AS2 application. Working with code found on this site on another post that doesn't seem to work. Anyone see the issue here?
test.onPress=function (){
badWords = ["this", "wont", "work"];
var lc_content = formContent.toLowerCase();
for (j=0; j<badWords.length; j++){
[Code].....
The form field is called "formContent". This returns both traces no matter the input so it must be a problem with the structure but I can't see it.

To achieve a zoom effect in our 2D flash game, we make the background of the game much bigger than the visible stage. This becomes a problem when the background is complex or when we apply a grayscale filter to the background. Is there a better way to do zoom? Or, is there a way to apply the filter to only a specific area of a movieclip?

I have a grid of DisplayObjects that when I put a glow on any of them, the glow overlap the other objects.
I was wondering if I could take the glow created by a DisplayObject and put it another, so I can attach it to a container that's behind all the objects?

Code below is fine and shows a nice eased button when you rollover it brightens and rollout and if fades back. If you change the alpha property on the glowfilter to '1', I have a nice glow around the thumbnail button that fades in and out.... so... how do I get the alpha of the glow to start at 0 and fade to full strength while the main thumbnail image works as it is at the moment???

where I have a logo pulsating with glow.. I've gotten it to go from 0 to 100% and back (looping), however, I'd like to to take it a step further and have more of a random glow, for example have it go from 0% to 90% to 40% to 75% to 10% to100%.. I'm thinking that I need to set up different vars for each one of the alpha states and than pick them randomely... however I dont' know how to go about that.Here's my code so far:
var delta: Number = -0.05;
logo_glow.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_FadeSymbolOut);
logo_glow.alpha = 1;[code].....
