I've bee following this site for a long time, and now I finally got a question on my own.
I'm trying (by ActionScript) to make a bunch of small circles form a complex shape e.g. a star or a windmill.
I'm planning to draw on circle and draw it to bitmap date, but I don't know how to place a lot of circles in the shape of a complex shape (or how to transform them into another complex shape).
I am drawing 12 concentric circles, and on each circle I plot dots. When I click on a dot, I need to display a text(I will be displaying usernames).
I have the circles and dots in place. But a funny thing is the mouse events work for few dots and does not for few. I am totally stuck now. Please help. Pasting my code. On running, dots on the left side of the circles show the hand pointer whereas the ones on the right donot work!

I have an array of mc's, and i need them to form smiling face on roll over event. How can i define positions of these mc's on this shape?(smiling face).
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to send small gradient circles across the stage and they somehow disappear around x 515. If I increase the size the problem goes away ( though increasing the size to 2px only make them go another 100 px x before disappearing). The problem does not exist with non gradient circles.Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
package com.xxx.classes {
import flash.display.Sprite;

I have a rectangle-shape instance in a MC, this instance functions as button with Mouse Event. ROLL_OVER / MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT.In this MC every time on roll_over it generates (addChild) a random number of small circles which appear spread around on top of the rectangle shape. After a certain duration they're removed by scripting.The problem is that while they're there, exactly THOSE areas of those small circles lose the Roll-Over triggering, only those areas not covered of the rectangle still works as roll-over.I guess it has something to do with FOCUS or something but haven't been able to figure out yet how to remove focus / circumvent those small circles from preventing roll-over.
View 5 RepliesYou should make a square like shape using 16 dots and rotate that square using geometrical functions.
ActionScript Code:
var rotationRad=0;
function markPoint(xpoint,ypoint) {
graphics.lineStyle(1,0x000000,100);
graphics.moveTo(xpoint-1,ypoint-1);
graphics.lineTo(xpoint+1,ypoint+1);

The issue I am having is how to tackle forming a logo using circles. I have done one letter manually, however it would take forever to do this with every single letter, and so I am asking here if anyone knew of a faster method. Requirements:
- Has to fill non-circular letters(i.e. does not have to be precise, but look like it has edges)
- Circles have to animate in, therefore they need to have drop shadow and seem like they are landing in place
Does anyone know of a good tool for visually making shapes and then receiving the corresponding actionscript? To put it in context, I need to make a complex shape (a styled heart) with actionscript, but rather than going through the laborious process of trial and error with curveTo's and the like, I wanted to first see if there was already a tool out there.
View 4 RepliesI´d like to know if it´s possible to find a minimum y point (where the shape ends) of a shape, in a given x coordinate.
Example: I have a complex shape like a big "S". Suppose the "S" minimum x coordinate is 0. How can I find the minimum y point of the "S" (again, where the shape ends) in the x coordinate of 14?
Here is the image: I need to find the y coordinate (or point) of the blue point in the image.
after loads of attempts trying to get my mail contact form to work ( very new to action script + php ) I finally got there! The only problem is i receive all this under the message..
[Code]...
The message is in there, but you can see this is a bit of a problem. Does anyone know how I can resolve the issue?
Okay, there is something that I don't quite understand. I built a flash contact form in Flash CS4 and embedded the swf in my webpage using Dreamweaver CS4. I upload the files in my server but why it's not working? I created a test folder in my folder and it does work... (It doesn't work here) [URL] The problem is that I'm not receiving the information when the user enters and submits the information on the contact form. I do receive the information on the test link. I'm posting the Flash AS and PHP Code to see if anyone can point out any mistake that I'm doing.
[Code]...
I'm trying to create a contact form, using a small PHP script.The PHP is working fine, the problem is in the AS.For some reason, I can't get the ActionScript to gather the information from all the fields in the contact form.For the last two fields, I get the error "Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type Number." Here's the relevant part of the code:
var email_data:String = "name=" + name_txt.text
+ "&email=" + email_txt.text
+ "&place=" + place_txt.text[code]....
All of the fields exist as input text fields on the Stage - anyone have an idea why there's a problem with the time_txt and message_txt fields?
how to randomly animate circles moving around inside a bigger circles? the small circles will have a collision effect on each other and on rollover of each individual circle, the name of it will come out in the bottom.. so the big circle will act as a wall preventing them from coming out..

What I'm trying to do is to create a fancy custom-shaped login panel. It's functions and containing components should be pretty standard, just like in regular login panel - FormItem, TextInput, Validators, etc. I did some research and found that it is possible to create skins using Fireworks, however this does not solve my problem because it does not allow me to manipulate with panel shape. What would be the best way to do it?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to make a spaceship game and in order to make it look like my spaceship is moving I need to make my circles in the background move forever. I tried using the Continuous Movement tutorail but it makes my circles get bigger when I move my mouse and when I move my mouse all the way to the right it gets faster and left gets slower does anyone know how to change the actionscript for the circle movie clip to make it not do those things?

I have a Flex application that edits a moderately complex object, and I'd like to put some client-side validation in place on multiple parts of the editor.The editor is a set of nested objects:[code]The structure echoes the data model fairly closely, and the UI is what the project requires, so I'm not going to be too quick to restructure the classes there if I don't have to -- time is an issue too. What I want to do is have validators for each of the Component* instances that:[code]Show the validation tool tips and UI hints on the relevant UI element.Disable the SubmitButton when any part of the form is not valid(Optionally) provide enough information that I can display an error message in the form.

View 1 RepliesI have a flex project and if I build a release version of the application using flash builder with RSLs on my swf is 115k. If however I build the same application using ant the swf is 342k. Without RSLs the swf is 520k.
How do I get the swf to be as small as the one built by FlashBuilder?
Here is my ant file I have another task that copies the rsls.

I am using a logo in .png form. I would like to have the logo very small at first and then get bigger frame by frame as it goes down the timeline. I created a keyframe on frame 1 and then another keyframe on frame 40. I then made the logo on frame 1 a small size, and I have the logo on frame 40 a large size. I am not sure how to tween them to produce the effect. It won't let me select the "shape" tween. I tried "classic" tween and motion tween (makes you convert to symbols), but no dice.
View 8 RepliesI have a pure Actionscript 3 project, using flash.* libraries, compiles down to about 6k (using mxmlc). Program handles about 1k shapes, a few sprites, a sockets connection, works great (tastes less filling).

I'm work with PS and AI and am a begginer with Flash and currently I'm making this clean cool looking header for a server I play on. This is what it to looks like: [URL]. However I don't know how to make the small squares motion, I want them to "spawn" around the text with alpha slowly growing, not behind the text so it's clean and to move outwards and slowly disappear.
View 2 Repliesim following some suggestions to cut my flash website into a few sections to make preloading a bit easier.
so all i want is to make a small round ring rotate as long as the file is loading. so i looked and followed a lot tutorials but all the preloaders tutorials are much more compliceted then i need. they all have persentige sowing, and a bar that is filling according to how much the file has loaded, and colors changing etc. so i tried to take from the tutorials wat i need for my simple preloader to work but i get stuck.i built the animation of the rotating ring, but i get stuck with the actions i need to make the animation work as long as the file is working. i called my ring animation "circularloader". here is a image of the page with the ring:

View 14 Repliesi sort of asked this before but never got a clear responce to it. this is sort of a two part question. one i have a dynamic gallery of images with a small picture that you click on that loads a bigger picture. I would love to be able to just have one photo that loads into the bigger mc and also the small mc. right now what i am doing is making two size photos a small 47x47 and a large141x141. does anyone know how i can use the same photo for both mc's second question. if that works will it make the small photos take forever to load since their sorce is a large photo?
