ActionScript 3.0 :: Papervision Alpha Property Does Not Work
Apr 7, 2011
I have a papervision project and this problem has kept me from going for days. I have Text3D object in my project and I have to reduce and increase the alpha property of this object , and I do it by changing the alpha property of the ViewportLayer that contains this Object. everything works fine but when I change it's text property due to some circumstances I can't work with it's alpha property anymore.
I change it's text like this:
var text1:String = "second string";
mytext3D.text = text1;
I don't (and I can't) use "useOwnContainer" and I use a defined ViewportLayer for this Text3D which I've defined like this:
var textLayer1:ViewportLayer = viewport.getChildLayer(mytext3D);
And I change the alpha property of this "textLayer1" in order to change the alpha of my Text3D object. Everything works fine till I change the text property and after that when I change the alpha of my "textLayer1" nothing happens!
Do you know how we can modify alpha parameters on Plane object with the new release of Papervision (2.0 alpha)? Previously, I was doing something like that : Code: Select allplane.containers.alpha = 0.5; But containers property disappeared from Plane object in version 2.0; I browsed every property of the new Plane object and couldn't figure it out.
I am trying to build a portfolio application similar to the used by Whitevoid. I am using Flex 4 and Papervision3D 2. I have everything working except for one issue. When I try to load an external SWF as a material on one of the planes, I can see any native Flex or Flash components in their correct positions, but the papervision objects are not being rendered properly. It looks like the viewport is not being set in the nested swf. I have posted my code for loading the swf below.
private function loadMovie(path:String=""):void { loader = new Loader(); request = new URLRequest(path);
[Code]....
Below I have posted two pictures. The first is a shot of the application running by itself. The second is the application as a MovieMaterial on a Plane. You can see how the button created as a spark object in the mxml stays in the correct position, but papervision sphere (which is rotating) is in the wrong location.
I've seen a few posts about this, but nothing that explains this issue concretely. Can anyone tell me how to change the alpha of a textfield in Actionscript 3?, and more importantly a textfield that uses embedded text fonts? I've heard changing blendmode.
I know how to do this in Flash IDE, but not purely in code.
i have this little display and when you click on certain items their alpha changes to 0.1, this worked fine until i added another frame with a different display on another frame. so now when you change frames and go to the new display then go back to the old display on frame 1 the alpha properties are all reset back to 1. So to fix this i thought i could simply add all the movieclips with an alpha less than one to an array when i left the frame then when you come back to the frame you could reset all the moviclips in that array back to having an alpha of 0.1. But this doesnt seem to work. here is the code i used.[code]But this code doesnt seem to work, the strange thing is even when i add some trace statements they tell me that the alpha does in fact equal 0.1 but visibally they haven't changed.
I have generated several TextFields dynamically through a for loop. I would like all the text fields to have their alpha set to 0 so that each field can eventually fade in.
When I apply the alpha property by setting it to 0, or even .5 the text appears to still be at an alpha of 1. Does anyone know how to make the text appear with a low to 0 alpha?
I have attached the code from the function which runs the for loop to generate the text fields. Please not that the value of the text fields are stored in a global array, and the text format objects are also global and are declared in the main body of the class.
I am very new to Flash and I have the following script: mouseInterval = setInterval(changeAlpha,10); function changeAlpha(){ fader_mc.alpha = Math.round(root.mouseX/550*100) } This is simply to change the Alpha of my object as I change the X value of the mouse cursor. I keep getting the following error message: 1120: Access of undefined property mouseInterval
Attempting to move from AS2 to AS3 and become OOPed! I've come to a sudden halt over the last few days with some basics.I will use a simply example to describe my query.3 movieclips, a square, circle and oval, drawn in Flash, dragged to the stage and given instance names of square, circle and oval! The square and circle sit on the main timeline, the oval movieclip sits within the circle movieclip. How can I alter the .alpha property of the square from within the oval?Each movieclip has its own class .as file (and linked to the instance on stage) but I have not been able to generate a path in the ovals AS3 class script to access outside it and up to the square on the main timeline to change the squares .alpha property.
how can i set alpha property in flash mx without using the setproperty action. when i use setproperty action to change alpha value ,the graphic doesn't animate.
I am having problems with the _alpha property of dynamic masks. For some reason they don't seem to accept it. I have a holder mc that I use as a mask and the holder is full of dynamic mcs for which I would like to set alpha properties.
My code is: _root.createEmptyMovieClip('holder',_root.getNextHighestDepth()); function init() { for (i=0; i<100; i++) { holder.attachMovie("msk","msk"+i,i,{_xscale:0, _yscale:0}); _root.holder['msk'+i]._x = (550*Math.random()); _root.holder['msk'+i]._y = (380*Math.random());
Basically I have a MC called "__root.T1" that when a button is pressed it will move to the specified location and then it's alpha property will be zero. the alpha property to the functionstartEasing(_root.T1, 50.4, 161.9, 10);
function startEasing(object, endX, endY, frames) { yourTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(object, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeInOut, object._x, endX, frames);
I have a problem that is stopping my mc.play() stopping when I try to set the .alpha property of an object. I have attached the code and have rem // out the alpha lines. can send you the fla to see the problem occuring.
I have two movieclip in stage named home,home_mc . I want when mouseover on "home" it will change some property of "home_mc".But dont know how to write this code.I am trying like this......

I've used this code to apply a gradient alpha mask: bg_mc.cacheAsBitmap=true;mask_mc.cacheAsBitmap=true;bg_mc.setMask(mask_mc); Then I applied a motion tween to the mask_mc clip. But the motion tween doesn't happen? It only shows the first frame of the motion tween. It does apply the alpha mask though. Why doesn't it show the rest of the motion tween.
i'd like to make an effect with "alpha", but when i'm using a particular class to set the scrollbar on my text, the text does not respond to my alpha. You'll see that the text does not respond to the alpha 0 at the beginning of the tween.
Here's my code in the fla that imports another class, which imports the scrollbar class ;-) :
import com.greensock.*; import com.greensock.easing.*; var loader:Loader = new Loader; var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Rhizo.swf");
I tried using this code because I need some mc to scale, others to fade, and others to move; but it won't work. It only allows the last function to work (in this case alpha).
This is really stupid.. But I can't get any DisplayObjects to take an alpha setting.. They remain full opaque no matter what- if I set alpha=.5, 0.0, etc. I'm using Sprites, but I've tried with TextFields and a couple other things.. Is there any setting, or anything about the containing object that would prevent me from setting alpha? I am really confused on this.
I installed Flash CS4 and the alpha doesn't seem to work. I follow all the instructions to the letter but get no results. I had no problems working in Flash MX
I have this actionscript which works perfectly for a little xml gallery. But What I am trying to do is get a simple alpha transition to work when you select another picture.
I have a problem with animation of TextField. I prepared an animation of MovieClip (containing TextField), that in 0.5sec gets 50% alpha. Then I used "Copy movement as ActionScript 3.0..." option.When I copied it into a class and wanted to animate TextField, nothing matters, excepting weird TF movement.Here my button class code - class works alone:
I have a clip which is basically a set of button clips. When a button is clicked it fades (i used the ._alpha property) and finally when its 0 alpha, it removes itself (by using _visible=0 property). It works perfectly. Now when another button is clicked. I wanted the button which is currently not visible to restore its visibility. But using _visible=1; just isnt doing it (pastbutton._visible=1;). I tried a lot of trouble shooting, trace shows that the correct button path of the last invisible button is stored in pastbutton. But still when the next line says pastbutton._visible=1 still it doesn't restore the target button which is stored in the pastbutton variable.
i am trying to change the position while the yoyo is working but the tween object goes to the new position and then back to the old position and continuing to yoyo.
ActionScript Code: import mx.transitions.Tween; import mx.transitions.easing.*; var swing:Tween = new Tween(swingObj, "_rotation", Regular.easeInOut, 60, -60, 2, true);
Here I create a button that when pressed opens specifies web site:
Code:var adresas:URLRequest = new URLRequest("some web site adress", _self); var item:Sprite = new Sprite(); item.graphics.beginFill(0x000000); item.graphics.drawCircle(30, 30, 20); item.graphics.endFill();
