I need to load three swf files in the main sprite (mSprite) top to bottom. All three swfs have some sort of animation, so when the first swf is loaded, it needs to finish playing the animation before the 2nd swf is loaded and the pattern follows. I am assuming, at the end of the animation, each swf need to dispatch a signal or such. All the animations are done via code not timeline.
View 1 RepliesI created a new AS3 document (550px by 400px) and added the following code to the first frame.
However, when I run this, I see nothing painted on the screen at all, the screen remains completely white.[code]...
Being a complete beginner in AS3 (and coding in general), I'm trying to do the opposite of what's seen in this swf (I'd like to have the spinning logo filled with the background colors): [URL]. I was thinking of a very simple way with this kind of code:
ActionScript Code:
var i:int=0;
var logo_vector:MovieClip=new LOGO_VECTOR();
logo_vector.x=192;
logo_vector.y=140;
//logo_vector.cacheAsBitmap=true;
[Code] .....
But while a logo_vector.rotation makes the logo spin around the Z axis and works, the rotationX gives a black screen. AS I could see the logo appearing onone frame, I thought that caching as bimtap on each frame would do the trick but it doesn't. I tried to put the logo into another movieclip but still no chance.
I thought about drawing the logo into a new bitmap as well, and then do a work on the pixels directly to have an opaqe background and the black logo transparent but there again, I can't get the logo position to refresh properly (and can't get it to be in the center of the bitmap).
I tried to copy the sprite into a bitmap:
var masque:BitmapData=new BitmapData(384, 282,true,0x00ffffff);
var masque_bmp:Bitmap=new Bitmap(masque);
and
Masque.draw (logo_vector);
In the Enter Frame function but I'm getting an empty rectangle and if not used as mask, the graphics are not refreshed)?
I was working through some animation tutorials with plain round sprites using the following code...
Code:

I would like to use Bitmaps in my Actionscript games.For me this represents a large change in my workflow as I have always used Vector but Bitmaps are really so much faster to render in certain circumstances. As far as I can see, 90% of all my game assets can be bitmaps.Firstly, are there any good tools for working with Vector to BitmapData? Libraries or OpenSource utilities?I know you can just draw to a BitmapData, and I do that, but what about Animations? What about a MovieClip of a laughing cow? How can I render that MovieClip at runtime to some kind of Bitmap version?But more complex than that What about situations where you do not have the MovieClip in a raw form?Imagine 10000 cogs turning at the same rate which is generated with code. This is hard work for the processor, so drawing it to a Bitmap for the duration of 1 revolution, would replace 10000 cogs with a SpriteSheet. I could destroy the cogs, and keep the SpriteSheet. Can anyone offer me any resources or google keywords I can search for, not sure of the technique but it seems to make sense? Especially with Starling..
View 2 RepliesI created an animated text on the main timeline. Then I exported it as an animatd-gif with transparent check.The resulting gif is not transparent, the background is the color of the stage.
How can make a transparent gif without the stage coloring?

Taking my first steps coding in AS3. So I have my main class which extends sprite and I put new mc's on top of that. Using addEventListener on any child MC's with MouseEvent.CLICK works fine, but I can't add it to the main sprite. How can I register all clicks on the screen?

View 1 RepliesI am pulling double duty with this question as it serves two purposes. I am developing a total flash controlled ad system for myself, but also need to use the same theory for a project for work.
Concept: I have a main movie (ad rotator system) that I then want to randomly load other swf's (individual ads) into this main swf after a set period of time. The random load I got set no problem. The problem I am having is to get it to move to the new Frame label of the main movie which then loads the smaller swfs. I am using the LoadMovie with nInterval time delay command in flash to load the movies.

I want to load six seperate .swf's into the main movie while the main movie loads too. So in simpler words, i want to be able to load all of the swf's the same time i am loading the main swf.

View 5 RepliesI am following this page to create a custom preloader extending Sprite to load an animation SWF, but it is not working (the animation SWF is not displaying): [URL]. I know the Animation.swf file is okay, because if I load it into the main app it displays and runs. The preloader works if an image is loaded by the preloader instead of the animation SWF.

BTW, I typically have many more lines of ComboBox in the app to force the preloader to display, but limiting number of lines here.

View 1 RepliesI created a class, extended the sprite class, and now in the constructor I am trying to set the Sprite's width and height properties which are inherited from the DisplayObject. However, after I set this.width and this.height, and print the values, I get 0 for both.
What the heck is going on? When I view the livedocs I see that DisplayObject has width and height listed as public properties. I have been able to instantiate a Sprite directly, and set the width and height after it's been instantiated, so I don't get it.

I'm doing a simple rotation on a sprite but there's a weird behavior where the sprite does not rotate around it's top left. I think I'm rotating along the top left of the test class instead of the sprite child. I would like to rotate the rectangle around it's top left corner (kinda like a clock hand). The code is pretty short so I'll let the code + pictures explain my problem:
package

import flash.display.Sprite;

I've read a lot of stuff about rotating around a fixed point, I've tried doing it with movieclips instead of sprites, I even copy pasted a tutorial on rotation and nothing works.
