IDE :: Alpha Transparency Upon Loading Swf In Movieclip?
Nov 11, 2009I have a movieclip and I am loading on it an external swf. The mc is just a square box basically...it is set to 69% alpha/transparent in the "Color effect: style: alpha" settings.The problem is, when I load the swf now the swf is also transparent (seems like 69%)...I basically want the mc to be transparent, but the swfs that load w/in it should not be transparent.
example code:
mc.createEmptyMovieClip("newClip", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.newClip.loadMovie("some.swf");
Flash :: Copy A Masked Bitmap Maintaining Masking Transparency In Actionscript?
Jan 6, 2010I need to find a way to copy a masked bitmap. I have a bitmap on stage, and a user drawn sprite that acts as a mask. I need to capture/copy the masked area bitmap, maintaining the transparency created by the masking to eventually encode as a png.
I could find no documentation on how to accomplish this using copyPixels(), or any other directions.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Alpha Transparency Bitmaps?
Aug 28, 2009I haven't worked with AS3 for a few months, and even when I did I never took the time to learn it to extensively ..
I'm creating an isometric map editor, the bitmap that I'm using to take the tiles from has a transparent background, but when I draw the tiles to the main bitmap it displays as white, so it messes up the overlapping (since they're isometric).. How can I make the background of it transparent?

View 3 RepliesIDE :: Alpha Masking Insanity?
Jan 31, 2010I have gimp. I have flash cs4.I have a picture of a dog that is 200 by 200 pixels with alpha transparency (you only see the dog no background, it's a png).Now I want to make only the dog listen for a mouseclick event. I saw some way of doing this by looking at the point where the mouse click event occured, and then stopping or continuing the event propogation based on if the pixel clicked was transparent or not. This seems sort of hackish. The "Clean" way I propose is by using a mask over the 200 by 200 image, but the mask should be shaped like everything that is NOT the dog. So it's a mask with a hole in the middle. the hole in the middle being nothing. not even alpha. Or the other way if this isn't possible, is to create a 200 by 200 image with just alpha value 0, and then stamp the dog on top as a mask... It appears there is nothing out there that describes how to do this.All I see are "bitmapfill" on squares and circles, which is utterly basic.
View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Alpha Transparency Not Working On PNGs?
Jun 17, 2011I'm currently constructing a scrollbar as part of a website using as3 and png images. I've got loaders for each image inside of an array, and when loading on each image finishes, it's added as a child to a sprite on the stage. I've got a background image with no transparency, which loads fine. On top of that, I've got the actual slider, which loads the RGB data, and appears to be using the alpha as a 1-bit mask. So anywhere that I have partial transparency, it just shows up as black, where it should be showing the background underneath. I can't find any attribute that will change the way loaded images process alpha transparency.

Sep 10, 2011I have a game and the user clicks on a button (a_btn), they are brought to frame 2 and they have to answer a question. If they get the question correct the alpha transparency of the a_btn is set to zero.
What I would like to be able to do is see if a number of buttons have zero alpha transparency then the user gets a complete message. This is what I have so far:
ActionScript Code:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Create The Proper Code That Will Control The Alpha Transparency Of A MC?
Mar 7, 2005how to create the proper Actionscript code that will control the Alpha Transparency of a MC I want as a preloader. I want the MC to start of at 100% alpha-transparency, and then decrease to 0% alpha-transparency when the whole Scene is loaded. Also, it should show the precentage of the Scene loaded. I have the code that I thought would work to control the alpha transparency of the mc and loading it. But, I get confused with the perloader code to incorporate into the alpha transparency code? Does this make sense; is it possible?In Leaman's Terms, As the scene loads, the mc goes from invisible to visible at completion of the scene load.
Here is the code:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
[code]....
Now, I have no idea if and where you'd include the poper code to control the mc's alpha transparency based on the percentage of the scene loaded? Can someome maybe rework the code to make this work. And use a working example, that way I see it working to fully understand the concept? The mc's instance name is "sm_logo". Where would I use the instance name in this code, or better yet the proper code alltogether?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Grab The Transparency (or Alpha Value) Of Individual Pixels In An Embedded Or Loaded Video?
Jun 27, 2010how to grab the transparency (or alpha value) of individual pixels in an embedded or loaded video? We tried copying over a frame of video into a bitmapdata object with transparency enabled. However, even though we can "see through" the video at certain spots (indicating alpha = 0 there), the alpha value comes back as 0xFF for every single pixel in the BitmapData object.Obviously alpha data is being stored inside the embedded video, but how can I actually get that value?

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Masking Dynamically Loaded Images With Movieclip?
Dec 10, 2011I wonder whether anyone could give me an idea of where I am going wrong with this.I am loading images into a sliding menu which will act as a thumbnail viewer, the structure of which is: "thumbsContainer" (movieclip) nested inside "galleryPane" (movieclip). The images are loaded into movieclips named "all_thumbs", which are added to the thumbsContainer stage.
I would like to mask the content of the thumbsContainer, so that only the images physically within the thumbsContainer border will be viewable. I have tried adding my coded mask to the thumbsContainer stage, and tying it to the thumbsContainer; and have separately tried the same with the all_thumbs movieclip - but no matter how I organise my code, I can't get this to work. If the mask is tied to the thumbsContainer mc - that element disappears; if the mask is tied to the all_thumbs mc, only the background to the thumbsContainer is visible. Either way, I cannot get thumbnails to display through the mask. No thumbnails at all will display on stage.
I've had a good look through the books I have and online, but with no joy so far.
I'd be really grateful if someone could give me a steer with this.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Masking Doesn't Change When The Mask Movieclip Changes?
Sep 13, 2009I have a movieclip Planet which consists out of a backround (BG) and a mask (PMask). The mask will be changed during gameplay (I add shapes, then draw this to a bitmap and replace the shapes with the bitmap).But for some reason the mask doesnt change along with the mask movieclip(as if it makes a copie of PMask and uses that as the mask instead, so that every change to PMask isnt applied to the mask of BG)This is basically my Planet.as file (I removed the stuff that isn't related):
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
I don't know why I would need the "cacheAsBitmap", but it doesn't seem to mask at all when I don't use it.

View 2 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 How To Alpha Out Movieclip On DragOver
Aug 24, 2009I posted last week on the topic of getting movieclips to lock into place after you have dragged them in the correct location. Luckily I was able to figure it out by myself, love when that happens.
Anyway, I have a new issue. What I want to do is have a movieclip alpha to 0% when another movieclip is dragged over it. I want to it to happen by 25% each dragOver though. So it starts at 100% then the user drags over and the alpha is at 75% now, then another drag over and 50% etc...
The MC that is being dragged is called ragMC and the one that is alpha'd out is greaseMC.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Alpha Not Working On MovieClip
May 28, 2009I created a symbol (Movie Clip) for my library, and I can manipulate all of its properties except for one—alpha. Here is a sample of the code:
var range:Range = new Range(); // Range is the symbol in my library, and has been exported for ActionScript
range.alpha = .1; // Doesn't seem to work as the symbol is still at 100% opacity.
_buffer.draw(range, range.transform.matrix); // This is where I draw the symbol to the buffer
Everything draws fine, but it is as if the alpha property is not working.
P.S. - If anyone knows, should I use a Graphic for my symbol instead of a Movie Clip if I only have one frame?

I have tried
