I have added a DAE element to the scene created in 3D Max as I created a MaterialsList for it, the problem is when I use any shade material the element losing its flatness!
View 6 Repliesi would like to place some backgroundelements on my chart which uses a datetimeaxis. I would like to shade a date range in the background of the chart based on start and ending dates in my dataprovider. How can I take the star and end dates and get their exact point on the chart? This way if I can get the points for the start and end dates, I can then shade the area between them.
View 1 RepliesI've been adding an MP3 player to a site as seen in the image here.
I've managed to colour the buttons etc to fit in with the colour scheme.
How do I colour the text boxes to a blue shade also?
I'm trying to write a function for the purpose of generating a gradient fill from only one passed color. How can you take a passed color (0x0066cc, a blue, for example) and calculate a much lighter (almost white) shade of blue from it?
View 3 RepliesI've successfully loaded a DAE model with its own bitmap texture material. Now I want to layer an environment map over that to give it a shiny look. I'm about ready to go out of my mind---nothing seems to work. I've created my environment map material, and added it to the DAE model, but it fails to appear at all. I've cut some holes in the original bitmap material, so that I'd be able to see if the reflection was covered over, but nothing appears to be hiding underneath

I have successfully imported a Lightwave generated Collada file into Flash using Papervision3dA material within the Lightwave file is called "Lambert4SG". How can I assign the "precise" property to eliminate the texture distortion. However, the material needs to be cast to BitmapMaterial in order set a BitmapMaterial specific property.

I have loaded a model using the 3DS parser that is already linked to a material and loads fine. I would like to make this model semi-transparent part of the time but not all of the time. I would like to just set alpha = .5 but when I target the materal that is not an option.

I have a site that is using aspects of papervision within an otherwise 2D environment...
In my papervision 3D room which is a class loaded into a movieclip holder, the walls of the room are taken from movie clips in the library. Some of these clips also have hotspot elements within the clip. For these, I wrote the code for the individual movie materials in their own file so that I can control the mouse events easier. Everything works fine, including the movie material tracing the click event. However, in the click event I am dispatching an event to be heard on the stage. I have my listener for it in my Main file but my stage isn't ever hearing it.
I know that there is no such function as getElementByName in Flex but I also now that you can do this["object_id"] to get the element of the application u're in.What about getting an element inside another element?I've tried making element["id"] ? But in my try-catch it always runs the "catch" part..how do I get an element inside another element just having it's id in dynamically created string form?

I have flash where there is a link for song download. And, at the bottom of the flash I've a count, loaded thorugh flash vars which should increment everytime donload button is hit. Please let me know what approach should i take to do that. can i call a Java method on donload button which will insert a row in the table and and then get the count and render it to the count variable in my flash?
May be this extremely confusing. Here is a very similar example on how it is done. This is actually very similar to what i want to do. [URL] on this link there is count below which increments you hit the download button.
I was recently trying to import some collada models from 3d studio max into flash. verything looks fine, but I have some kind of error which rather shouldn't appear: Quote:'MaterialObject3D: transformUV() material.bitmap not found!'I've found some answers by googling it, but I'm not sur
View 0 RepliesI have a cube with a material on the front face. I'm trying to create a magnifying glass in 2D for the 3D cube. Can anyone offer a suggestion for how to achieve this? I was thinking I might try to find the UV under the mouse in an OBJECT_OVER InteractiveScene3DEvent and somehow get the bitmap from the material, mask it, and move it around in relation to the mouse position- mimicking a magnifying effect. How to do that, I have no clue.
View 2 RepliesI've built a rather robust tooltip class recently that attaches and draws a single tooltip sprite to the root, then uses MOUSE_OVER to detect when it is over a tooltippable object, and shows the appropriate tooltip text. At the moment, I'm ensuring that any elements in my application which wants to take advantage of showing tooltips implement the ITooltippable interface, and expose a public getter, get tooltip().
[Code]...
Basically I have 14 text boxes, each box draws its content from an external txt file. Next to each text box is a button. I want the button to be either visible=true or visible=false depending on weather or not the text box has content or is "undefined" Here is what I have so far, and it's not working:[code] I would like a FOR loop to just run through the variables and check to see if any of them are undefined. if it is, then make the correct send button invisible.
View 8 RepliesI have a cube built in papervision. It has a video on each side. I want the videos to be stopped at the beginning when it appears. I thought I could just use pause on the stream. ncStream2.pause(); no luck. When I do that I just get a black box. There is no black at the beginning of the videos. I do not think the papervision part is really a big deal. It's probably just a straight forward AS3 and video problem.

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);

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.
What material did you use to learn Flex/Air itself, and with ColdFusion + BlazeDS/LCDS?
View 7 RepliesI followed a dynamic gallery scrolling thumbs tutorial and then changed it quite a bit to fit my needs.
I basically added a previous and next button and image title box.
It all works great apart from one thing.
e.g. I click on thumb 5. I then use the next button and go to say... image15. I then click on thumb 9. When I use the prev or next button again it will resume from image15, but it should then carry on from thumb 9 as that was the last change I made.
I thought this would be as simple as assigning the thumb variable value to the image number variable. i.e myID = id; but it doesn't work. my variable myID actually loses its value when I click the thumb image (I used the trace to clarify).
Here is the code.
PHP Code:
function bttnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
bttn.gotoAndStop(1);
root.logo.visible = false;
myID = id;

I've noticed recently (the last week) that when I open Flash CS4, the Tools panel and the Actions/Timeline/Compiler Errors/Output panel group are not automatically open, like they always were before. Does anyone know of anything I could have changed by accident?
At the same time this started happening, I have a file that has a moving hot spot that is set with keyframes (depending where the active button is on the bitmaped screen capture behind the button). Even though the button's onRelease handlers are advancing the timeline correctly, my button is not in the right place in the runtime version. If's still fine in the development environment. It's like the layers are out of sync with each other.
