I'm working with BitmapData.getColorBoundsRect and it works so far fine for me. But what if I want to find more rectangles with the same color? For example: I got a BitmapData with 3 red rectangles. If I use getColorBoundsRect I get the whole area including the 3 rectangles. Is there a way to separate each rectangle?
View 5 RepliesFor those of you still with me, I am tasked with making some scrollable content in Flash. Load in a TextFile using LoadURL(), then display it. To get the text, we've written our own class TextFieldExtended, which is basically just there to give the textfile location to the constructor and then have the class do the various steps of getting it and loading it for you.So I needed to get a Scrollbar, which I got hereThe thing is, it works with Sprites.After trying to get it to accept TextFieldExtended, I bumped into a block, since the scrollbar relied heavily on a Sprite property that TextFieldExtended didn't have or could have.
So I tried adding the TextFieldExtended instance to a Sprite instance using addchild.A problem occurs here that I do not know how to handle. It seems that a Rectangle is drawn and the Text is drawn on that. I say this because the scrollbar moves the Rectangle up and down a bit, but the text doesn't scroll, just the Rectangle it is positioned in and the text then moves along with it.My question: can this be fixed, or is does this implementation of scrollbars need a lot of adaptations before this is possible?
I draw a rectangle i should see a little bold circle to indicate a perfect rectangle, I seemed to lost mine, can somebody please tell me how to get it back!
View 2 RepliesI am trying to convert a rectangle(actually multiple rectangles) to a curved rectangle. I think it should be pretty easy but I guess i am stupid. Basically I would have a start position and stop position (many of these), and they would be converted to curved rectangles and follow in a cicrle around.
View 0 RepliesI would like to create a rectangle inside of a rectangle, starting approximately 15% inward from the right side of the other rectangle.
I know how to create rectangles with:
Code:
var newHotRect:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
newHotRect.graphics.beginFill(0x00FF00);
newHotRect.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
addChild(newHotRect);
But how would I make another rectangle on top of that (the black one pictured) that is approximately 15% from the right?
I toyed around with .right, and .bottomright with no success. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? or even finding the x and y of the upper right or bottom right side of a rectangle?
how to respond when a rectangle hits another rectangle? I already know how to detect the collision, I just don't know how to respond to it. I'm just trying making a simple side-scrolling platform game where I have platforms I can walk on and bump against on all sides. I have searched everywhere and just can't find the tutorials I'm looking for.
View 6 RepliesWhat I need to do is assign 5 separate dynamic text fields to 5 seperate buttons and at the same time to those same five buttons i would like to add 5 images that i would be able to change merely by swapping out the images in the file theyre in on the server.I would also like to get a nice transition between the images...ALSO i want to dynamically load the images for the buttons that will be used for switching from picture to picture(which im thinking i will be able to do after i know the how to do point the aforementioned things.)
Through tutorials I've found around the net I've been able to get most of the parts together... but i get lost because what they show you for AS2 they don't for AS3 and vice versa, at least that ive seen.so... I guess my question is... would i need to set up 5 seperate dynamic text fields on the stage and then set each one of them to one of the corresponding button. If so what AS code would i need to use to do so. And if not what would i need to do?
The other part of the question would be I know about the UILoader... would i be able to use it as my buttons and images, if so would i need 5 seperate ui loaders for both the Thumbnail buttons and the images or is there a way that would be better to do it? and once i do that would i do the transitions using frames and tweens like with AS2?
If I create a new flash AS3 file and create two blank keyframes in my actions layer I can add actions to each keyframe separately no problem. I can then easily switch between the actions frames from the menu bar on the left of the actions input panel. However if I try and do this on any of my projects i've been working on for a while when I create a new blank keyframe in the actions layer and try to add actions to it, I get sent straight back to my first actions keyframe and not a nice blank page. Can I even apply seperate actions to seperate keyframes?
View 6 RepliesThis is NOT the same as my last thread as i am after three and NOT ONE as last time. In the attached movie there are three seperate movies loading into three seperate tweens. Please note that i am happy with this movie as it is, and do not want to change anything about it except for the script itself. It refurs to three seperate clips "b.a","d.c" and "f.e". What i want is for the script to incorperate all three clips under one name of "mc" And instead of have three seperate widths, "width 1","width2" and "width3" i want the script to also incorperate all three widths and heights into just one name of "width" and one name of "height".
View 9 RepliesI do know how to use the oval / rectangle and oval / rectangle primitive tools in the tool bar and find them quite useful, but one thing I find confusing is. A oval / rectangle primitive object can be edited later but the oval / rectangle can't. So the point is,how do we use them properly ? when to use ? Why does Adobe Flash still keep the oval / rectangle tool in their product instead of removing them with the oval / rectangle primitive tool ?

My question applies only when I work in 16 bit system resolution, so when I apply some text and apply 'Anti-alias for readability' with embedded chars, there is some strange filled rectangle showing around the text box. The same applies when I add any kind of filter to a text or image. You may see the exact problem by clicking on the link below: http:[url]....
- Notice the rectangle around the text boxes ('anti-alias for readability' applied, it doesn't matters is it static or dynamic text)
- Notice the rectangle around the middle dark-gray box with glowing effect applied
I will say again, this problem occurs only in 16 bit system resolution, it is not applying in 32 bit.
I know how to do general mosueover which cause cause new objects to load, or display a different frame in the timeline. What I wanted to know is how does one get it to do what looks like to be a motion tween when object is rolled over.

i have a simple rectangle. i would like to scale it to 200 but the scaling always begins from top-left corner of the rectangle. how can i scale it from the center?

I would like to have an invisible drop target so I can dropand item and have it go to another part of the training. However,if I create a rectangle as a sprite and don't fill it in, itdoesn't recognize it as an area apparently because nothing happenswithout a fill color. I tried just a regular rectangle, shape, etc.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to make a dynamic drawing tool for rectangle like this link : [URL]
I was able to make a line tool.
I would like to tween between a short rounded rectangle and a tall rounded rectangle. (I only want deal with the height - no other parameters). I am programming with ActionScript 3. My tweening engine is TweenLite.I have been tweening a sprite that contains a rounded rectangle. The tweened sprite produces distortion. I suppose that I have been scaling the original image, rather than the height of the rounded rectangle?Here is a simple example of my code:
Draw the rounded rectangle:
roundRect = new Sprite();roundRect.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);roundRect.graphics.drawRoundRect(0,0,50,15,4,4); //Original Height: 15roundRect.graphics.endFill();addChild(roundRect);
Then I listen for a mouse click event on the rounded rectangle.The mouse event triggers a function with the following code:
TweenLite.to(this.roundRect, 1, {height:120}); //Final Height: 120
I would like to tween the height of the rounded rectangle itself. I would hope that this would not produce the unwanted distortion.
In Flash CS4, when I draw a rectangle (or circle, or anything) with a color that has 0 alpha, nothing is drawn. Also, if I select a piece of drawing and change the color to 0 alpha, the drawing (e.g. rectangle) disappears!I know I can draw a non-transparent rectangle, convert it to movie clip and set the movie clip's alpha to 0, but I'd like to avoid this.
View 5 RepliesIs it possible to use scrollRect without the flash.geom.Rectangle class?I know the scrollRect can be used like this:import flash.geom.Rectangle; myMC.scrollRect = new Rectangle(10,10,100,100);I need to make a flash which doesn't extends outside the stage (bacause loading it from another flash will expose anything outside the stage area). Using a mask is an option, but scrollRect seems very interesting because it would be easier and give greater performance.But I can not import the flash.geom.Rectangle class (and it seems overkill to import a class just to set x,y,width and height)How can use scrollRect without the flash.geom.Rectangle class?
View 3 RepliesI'm making a flash game (pac-man) and i have designed a level (the walls). Now when i convert it to a symbol flash makes it a rectangle (he counts the gaps between te wall as part of the symbol). This is a huge problem because when i want to test collision between pac-man and the walls in actionscript he always "hits the wall" because he is inside the object. Is there a way to convert only the walls into a symbol.

Where template is a canvas. Its rotate nicely but the problem is the position is not in right place. i.e. it is not in (50,50) after rotate.
