ActionScript 3.0 :: Illustrator Image Import - Changing Color On Hover
Jan 10, 2011
I have imported an illustrator image into flash (both cs4). It is in vector format (vector smart object-with masks). I want to convert this into a either a button or an MC so that when people hover over it, it changes colour but I cannot edit the image in Flash. If I import as none vector I lose the image quality completely but I do not want to flatten it and lose the transparencies. How I can edit the image in Flash? Also, when people hover over the image I would like text to type itself on what that link is for e.g. HOMEPAGE etc. I have AS for it to work in MX but cannot find anything for CS4.
i cant import the image without losing a huge amount of quality. a friend made this image using Illustrator, and i am trying to incorporate it into a Flash banner.i have numerous images already being used in my Flash movie banner, and all of them have been very easily imported, resized, and animated. here is the image im attempting to use.the Flash banner is am working with can be found at the top of the page at this address.URL.. ive tried to import it to my movie as a GIF, JPG, PNG, BMP, after using Fireworks to successfully edit the image without losing any quality. but as soon as i C&P it or import it directly to the Flash stage or library, the quality goes right out the window.
When I import files from Illustrator to Flash, it seems that my entire image is grouped together and "Modify> Ungroup" is grayed out. How do I separate the different vectors so that they are editable?
This is my first post here and i'm also new with FlashCS4 and ActionScript3. I made some frames on Illustrator and exported the layers to SWF frames. When i import them to the library on FlashCS4 i get a bunch of symbols and bitmaps. I only want the movie clip and the movie clip is empty or invisible.
I've done the same with other Illustrator layers and some imports generate the symbols and bitmaps and others don't. The difference is that the ones that are imported with all the junk (symbols and bitmaps) are layers with a feather Illustrator effect.
I want to know how to import the movie clip only, or why does Flash creates all the extra items in the library.&What is the better way to animate with frames on Illustrator and use them on Flash?
I have created a vector design in Illustrator on a single layer and have imported it into my Flash library using the import layers to Flash Layers option. Because I created the design on a single layer in Illustrator, the design imports as a single layer in Flash. My problem is that I cannot distribute any of the individual graphics to a new layer, even after converting them to movie clips. When I select "Distribute to Layers", a new layer is created for each of the selected graphics but the layers are empty.
I have also tried cutting a graphic from the import layer and pasting it into a new layer but it always pastes back into the original import layer rather than the one I have selected.Is there any way around this or will I need to go back into Illustrator and create separate layers based on my needs in Flash?
I have a Adobe illustrator file which contains all design elements of my projects. I am trying to import that file into flash, i am not able to import properly(design elements are getting disturbed). So i have exported from AI to swf. How can I import this swf (contains all design elements) into my source file (Flash file) .This swf I tried to import into flash but design elements are not coming properly.
I need to change the color of an image on a website. The image is of a carport, so the texture and shadow's needs to stay consistent. If I change the color by just swapping the images with other ones in a different color I would have to have approximately 7500 images and I don't think it would be the most efficient way of doing this, so I am asking the community if there is a jQuery code that would allow me to place some sort of color filter on top of a white carport and change the color real-time on the website?This is a sample of one of the images I have to start with.The only thing that can change color is the roof part, the metal rails in the image cannot change color and the background cannot change color either.
I'm trying to come up with a convenient workflow for importing .ai Files into Flash. While the import works fine, there is one major drawback: If an artist decides to update something within the .ai file, then it is frustratingly hard to make that change in Flash as well, since it is not possible to just "update" any of the imported assets from Illustrator.
There is an "update" function available in flash for imported graphics which are linked to bitmap files (.png, .jpg, etc.), but so far it does not seem possible to kind of link imported assets to an external file and maintain that link.
Or does anyone know of a way to use Illustrator files as a basis, import into Flash, and make it possible to re-import the .ai file and actually overwrite all library items that already exist? Usually Flash creates copies of the imported ai file.
i'm trying to make something that will change a section on an image to other colors (or possibly another picture) when clicked. Something similar to this would work [URL] But, when you click on the colors, instead of the colors just filling in the wheel, i'd like it to change it to a picture, of lets just say in this example, another rim...a picture of a different actual rim instead of just a color fill.
Then, I'd like the option to have another section that will do the same, but for another location on the car. So, for example, there's a section for the rim colors like the link has. And, there is also another section with more images that can be clicked to change the headlights....then one for the background, etc...
I am looking for information on how to best import assets from Illustrator and Photoshop to get a low file size for the final swf. In particular:I have text that has been effected in Photoshop and a few images that can be brought in from Photoshop or illustrator. Right now I am exporting for web and bringing to Flash. Looks good but file size of end swf too big. I have gotten .fla files before from so-workers that have text or graphics as shape objects rather than images - is that possible and how is it done?
I LOVE this actionscript, it will be so useful to me. [URL] However I one question; Is there anyway to have a pattern(image) show with the mouse over rather than a color?
In an MC, I want it to become invisible when the mouse hovers over it. The reason I'm putting this code inside the MC and not making an instance out of it is because this MC will recur numerous times. The listener does work, as tested with trace(). For whatever reason, alpha doesn't.
I have figured out how to do most items I have needed to change in a template I purchased, but I'm stumped on this one. How do I change to hover over color of menu items? I can supply the fla and flv files if needed. I just don't know which item(s) I should be working on in the library to do what I want to do.
I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I've looked all over here and other websites and can't find the answer. Here's the situation: I have a movieClip that has an animation inside of it. When the movieClip is hovered over, it changes to the hand (indicating it's clickable). What I need to be able to do is change the hand back to the default cursor. Every single article I've read is about how to change your cursor to something else (using mouse.hide() and replacing it with an image), which is not what I want.
How do I change the background color of the item I'm currently hovering over in a list? The default is that light blue, but I would like to be able to change it to whatever I want. I've gone through the list of available options, but I didn't see anything that stuck out at me.
I'm sure this is ridiculously simple, I just can't seem to figure it out.
I'm doing a project for work and need to change the color on this file I purchased from iStockPhoto. It is a world map flash file, which highlights the country you select in green. I simply want to change it so that all highlights are done in Red instead, but am not a flash developer so not sure how to do it.
how can I change or tween the color of a dynamic rectangle's borders ? (created with LineTo)I d'like the color to change when I hover the rectangle...Right now I 've always been to change the global color of the rectangle with it changes the color of the borders too.
I am in the making of a isometric level editor, and I have about 15 movie clips with more to come. I want to let people change the color of tiles to what they want from a list of colors, so how can I let them change the color of a tile dinamicly with actionscript so that it changes a tile's color while preserving changes of "shadows"? I mean I have let's say a cube and to make it look 3D I need to change each face to make a feeling of 3D and not a flat one.
i have been doing this tutorial http:[url]..but i am stuck on PART 8, i have done everything the tutorial has said so far (although my image and the colors used are different) but the large blank box at the top of the color pallet isnt changing color when i click on any color from the pallet.
Also this tutorial doesnt say what version of flash and actionscript is best suited for this.Currently i am using CS4 & Action Script 2.0 but i don't know if this is correct. below there is a link to the fla. file that Coloring_Book.fla.
I have a few movie clips that change color when they are rolled over and rolled out of which is great and works correctly but now I have add glows to those buttons to serve as borders or a stroke and when you roll over the buttons the color and the filter color changes.
So i'm working on this website and I want to be able to switch out the entire color scheme on the website everytime a button is pressed, I've stepped away from flash for awhile and actionscript 3 is new me. Plus I haven't quite found any truely useful stuff on forums yet.
What i can't figure out is when a button is pressed the HTML background color changes to one of 5 preselected colors (that alternate ever time the button is pressed). Then for each background change the text changes too as it is part of a entire new color scheme.
What I've managed so far is to change the color of the background thats within the Flash file. What i did was to make a movie clip that plays to a next frame and stop everytime the button is pressed. Now i just need to also get to change the HTML color and the font colors.
//"homeText" being the name of dynamic text field and "Button" the name of the button and "background" being the movie clip that is the background within the flash file.
Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Button_CLICK); function Button_CLICK(e:MouseEvent):void{ background.play(); homeText.TextFormat(color "0x000000");}
I'm not sure if my code is just sloppy or if i'm completely going the wrong route here.
I have a button with an icon. I want to have the button in gray so I change the chromeColor but when I do that, the icon became darker.On the left the button without changing the color, on the right, the gray button with and darker icon.How can I have a gray button without changing the icon color?
I have two datagrids which should do everything synchronic except the data entry. I already managed to make them scroll synchronic by using the scroll event. My question is now how to select a item of a datagrid only programmatically, and how to get the mouseover effect and underlining the corresponding row with a bright blue color?
I've tried to export my vector work from Flash to Illustrator. The result is bad : colors have faded and transparent colors became opaque. It is a shame that Flash doesn't provide a correct export function to Illustrator now that Flash and Illustrator are both Adobe's softwares.
