I have a movieclip that I am masking dynamically. The reason for masking the movieclip is because it can be different heights depending on user feedback to some questions. I want to add a scrollbar if the movieclip exceeds the mask area that will allow the user to scroll to see the rest of the movieclip.
View 2 RepliesI'd like to scroll (with ease) my masked movie clip up/down with buttons. I do not want to use a scroll bar.
View 1 RepliesI need to print a movieclip that has a mask, the mask is there because the content will be larger than the screen, so the movieclip has a scrollThe thing is that when I print the movieclip, it only prints the visible area (the masked one), and if I remove the mask it only prints the visible area (up the the stage height).
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to mask a movieclip using a mask created with AS3 but it changes the color of the movieclip being masked. I would like the mask to not change the color of the masked movieclip. Here is my code:
mask_mc.mask=masked_mc;
drawMask();
function drawMask():void {
[Code].....
The masked movieclip becomes the same color as the color defined in beginFill. In the example above, masked_mc turns black (as defined in beginFill). Removing beginFill masked everything and revealed nothing. masking with AS3 without changing the color of the movieclips being masked.

View 2 RepliesI have a masked movieclip that has let's say a hole in it. It's called mc1. I also have another movieclip under it called mc2 that appear from under mc1 because of the hole in mc1. But when I write event handlers for them when i click mc2 from mc1's hole , just mc1 catches the event and mc2 doesn't catch any event. Here is my simple code :

I have two movie clip on the stage. The movieclip mc1 has a masked layer in it self that the movieclip seen like a ring ( like it has a hole in it ) and the movieclip2 is simple square movieclip that is under the movclip1 on the stage. So movieclip2 is seen from within the hole of the movieclip1 but it doesn't catch events when i click mc2 (the movieclip under) from within the hole of the mc1.[code]...
View 5 RepliesIs there anything to opposite of setMask. Actually I want that, when I click a button then a movieclip will be masked by some predefined shape (working as mask object). when I click another button he mask will be gone. That means the object under the mask will go out of the mask.
View 1 Repliesi have a dsgnArea----> a movieclip
dsgnArea is masked by dsgnAreaMask, which inturn is a movieclip
dsgnArea.mask=dsgnAreaMask; the width,height and position of dsgnAreaMask and dsgnArea are same.
i dynamically added multiple movieclips and labels to dsgnArea;

I'm trying to create flash app where a single jpeg (person headshot) is loaded into the masked movieclip (same size as passport photo) (using loadMovie), then user can edit the image (drag inside mask, zoom, rotate) and then after pressing a button the app duplicates the EDITED image 4 times - to make sort of headshot sheet.
While I know how to load movie, drag single clip or scale it, I have no idea how to duplicate the movieclip once is edited, to make identical copies of it (scaled, rotated...)If I use duplicateMovieClip it won't work since it won't duplicate the loaded image.

View 6 RepliesI'm creating a history timeline and I would like to make sure that when the dragger on the scrollbar is on a certain time period, the movieclip is on that time period as well. Is there a way to have the dragger to listen for when it reaches a specific time period on the scrollbar and have it align the movieclip appropriately?
View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip button with a text box within it. The text box also has a scrollbar component attached. Since the movie clip button has roll-over functionality [ btn.onRollover = function() ], I believe that's taking precedence over the inner scrollbar. I guess this goes back to the common problem of a button inside of a button.

But unable to control the behaviour of the scrollbar. when I am increasing the size of the movie clip the scrollbar should automatically disappear. But I am unable to do so.

I've removed all of the math I had done. Just trying to get the content area (_scrollable) to move up and down behind the mask in the opposite direction, just as you'd expect a scrollbar to do to a content area.
Dragging of the scrollbar is setup and this just needs some simple math coding in the thumbMouseMove function.

scroll a movieclip inside a swf with the browser scrollbar? I'm not talking about something like swfFit or so but actually controling a mc on stage while the rest of the swf stays in place? I've seen this done in a site that I don't remember the url to. Don't know though if they placed a div containing a swf on top of the "main" swf.
View 15 RepliesOur site will be built in Actionscript 3.
1. A navigation menu that, when a button is clicked, will scroll the site quickly to a specific Y position using swfaddress.
2. The entire site is controlled by a flash scroll bar, which will be scrolling a single movieclip.
2A. The movieclip will load content corresponding to the navigation categories, all which is organized into zipped files (using this to extract the contents of each section, example: about.zip for the about section of the site)
2B. The movieclip will load multiple zipped files one by one that correspond to the navigation, in order, making the site appear to be very tall.
What we are in need of is understanding how to load multiple zipped files into a movie clip, in a specific order, and having them scroll between one another through the navigation. The separate navigation categories can be in movieclips instead of zipped files if that is easier.URL...

how I would convert this vertical scrollbar into a horizontal scrollbar
heres the code:
onClipEvent (load) {
diff_y = bound_box._height-scroller._height;
bounds = bound_box.getBounds(this);
top = bounds.yMin+(scroller._height/2);
bottom = bounds.yMax-(scroller._height/2);

I have a 'puzzle' with the pieces 'scattered' haphazardly around. These pieces are all instances of my PTPuzzlePiece.as class, which works great for all intents and purposes. When the user selects a photo from the picture library, the pieces all properly display their 'masked' portion of the image. However, I have a problem in that the masked bitmap displayed in each piece is only 'masked' and not cropped.
This means that, for instance on the third piece down on the left hand side, 100 not-visible pixels of bitmap extend below the piece and out of the 'framed' area. This totally throws off my calculations when I go to scale and then print the screen using the AIR PrintJob, and when I scale that 'card' down to a 'button' on the menu where the user chooses which 'card' they wish to use. Is there a way to crop the not-visible area out, or copy only the visible pixels as BitmapData into a new Bitmap entity so that the layout is entirely contained within the 'frame'?
I'm working on a site for a client right now and the only thing I have left on it, is loading jpg's into the swf so they can browse items.I have code and it somewhat works I guess. It loads, but doesn't show until I click another option, then it shows for a split second before the mc is moved off stage, then it returns blank.I have this code on the main timeline not in any functions:[code]there's more to the code as an entirety but this just deals with loading the jpg into the source.images = "bars" whenever you click on the link "bars".it's not showing once it hits the frame thats supposed to show it. but when I click on (e.g: cabinets) it's shows the image a split second then it shows the cabinets part.I can go to the next part where images load into a loaded swf..

I am trying to create a very simple 'fruit/slot machine' effect using moving numbers, and a mask.I want the numbers to start at 0,000, spinning through to 1,700. The '1' and '7' work fine, but the two '00' disappear during the tween, then reappear at the end (I have a 'stop' in place).I have the spinning numbers as a 'movie clip', and I have tried uisng 4 different number clips (at the moment 1 clip is duplicated).
View 2 RepliesI am trying to take a snapshot of the masked region of an image... so, I load my image then perform the following functions:
private function manageLoadedImage(e:Event):void
{
_bitdata = e.currentTarget.content; // get the bitmap
_bithold.addChild( _bitdata ); // add the bitmap to a sprite on the stage
[Code]....
I have a movie, inside that movie I have a thumbnail editor name ThumbEdit.
ThumbEdit has a movieclip on its stage called "holder1". In the document class of ThumbEdit I create a sprite "_bithold" and place it on the stage at holder1.x and holder1.y. When the image loads, I add the image to _bithold and then mask _bithold with a shape. So, I want to grab a snapshot of the masked region of _bithold but I'm not sure how I should go about doing that.
