How to shift color randomly by a small amount in some direction?does this makes sense?
so moving randomly in the color wheel in either direction little by little.
how do I get this code to repeat itself continually, because it just executes once. Im not that good with listeners, i know functions and variable etc though im not that bad.
Code:
if (health<=0) { gotoAndStop("mainDead");}
Its on a frame, not a MC.
[code].....
I need to add a small amount of physics to some moving elements.I found flade, but it looks like overkill for what I'm looking for. Also, all the examples are side-views with gravity.
Basicaly, I have a top-down view, and have square shapes that I want to be able to slide along a wall when they hit it at an angle. They don't even need to rotate when they make impact. I tried comming up with my own solution, based on the relative rotations and quarants they collide on, but it is very clunky. I can't help but feel there is a better way to do this. Heck, there might even be some usefull ActionScript function that I don't know about.
I'm trying to code a click-and-point adventure game for a class, in which interactive objects glow when you mouse over them.... In the frame I have the background image (in which there is, say, a drawer), and an image of the drawer glowing placed exactly over top of that. The glow image is invisible until you mouse over it, at which point it is supposed to become visible (and disappear upon mouseout). I have the mouseover function linked to the entire glow image (which is a movieclip), but it only seems to work when you mouseover a specific portion of the image (usually a corner). The code looks something like this:
ActionScript Code:
DeskDrawer.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, drawerLightUp);
function drawerLightUp(e:MouseEvent){
DeskDrawer.alpha = 100;
}
when the glow-image is moused over, it moves upward slightly and a small amount of whitespace appears at the top of the image.
Say I have a video tutorial. This tutorial is one MovieClip we'll call oneMC (with text, movieclips, and sprites within it).I have a color picker that allows the viewer to change the background color.Any ideas on how to shift the color(s) of all the nested objects once this happens? I need everything to contrast with the background color. (hence black text wouldn't disappear on a black background).Changing the blend mode of oneMC to Invert. This works except ALL nested clips then have the same color. No good.I changed the .color attribute of oneMC to a tint of the background color's opposite (for anyone curious as to how you get it, subtract the user's selected hexadecimal color from 0xFFFFFF). This is ok, but not ideal. Colors appear washed out.Changing the hue. This works on everything but black objects/text.I don't want to resort to colorTransforming each individual child because the EnterFrame requisite is too cumbersome. I really need an elegant solution to keep processes down.

View 9 RepliesI have a clip in my movie that changes colors randomly every timre it is loaded.hers the code:
MovieClip.prototype.randomColor = function() {
var r = Math.floor(Math.random()*255)+1;
var g = Math.floor(Math.random()*255)+1;[code]....
The problem is there are other movieclips I need to change to the same color.Heres the script I'm trying to do:
MovieClip.prototype.allSameColor = function() {
getcolor = myColor.getRGB(the_mc)[code].....
I'm trying to change a movieclip's color randomly every second using actionscript 2. Additionally, I like to use fading as the transition between the colors.

Now I can get 10 animating circles in different places of the stage after every second. And every circles will leave the stage after completing the animation. Though I have given 'pink' color in that circle, that's why its generating with 'pink' color always. How do I change the color of each circle while it will generate?
I've got a really bad *** idea for a design but I want to implement having a movie clip randomly change color.
How can I make my movie clip randomly switch colors with a push of a button??
By the way I'm using flash MX and I am still intermediate when it comes to coding.
I have been having a serious issue with custom video where flash is saying that the amount of the video so far played is MORE than the amount that it has downloaded, which is clearly impossible. This results in various problems, such as the playhead (scrubber) moving past the end of the loader bar. I posted a simple demo that displays the amount loaded and the amount played in text fields. You can see it at: [URL][Code]...
View 5 RepliesSo I have been having a serious issue with custom video where flash is saying that the amount of the video so far played is MORE than the amount that it has downloaded, which is clearly impossible. This results in various problems, such as the playhead (scrubber) moving past the end of the loader bar.I posted a simple demo that displays the amount loaded and the amount played in text fields. You can see it at: URL...[code]I encoded the video at a high rate so that it would download slowly. It may not playback smoothly, which I am not concerned about. What I am concerned about is the numbers below the video what are derived from ns.bytesLoaded and ns.time. If you watch it for a bit, the amount played should exceed the amount loaded.
I double checked the video duration and the bytestotal that flash is reporting and they are correct. I don't know of any way to check the accuracy of bytesloaded.If your internet connection is super fast, you may not see the issue - it only occurs when it is playing back faster than it is downloading - if this is the case, you may need to throttle your speed down, or start downloading a large file while you are watching this demo in order to see the issue.But this is a serious issue and means that building custom video interfaces with loadbars and playheads is impossible!
i have a scroller developed in as2. it basically scrolls continuously in a direction until the direction of the mouse is changed. the images of course loop in the continuous scroll. now the problem is that for 10-15 photos its ok. but when i feed it with 180 photos, it seems to show only 11. why would this be? any restriction on flash ??
View 1 Replieshave a ball with the name of mc which can be moved using the keyboard .. when you press the left mouse button shoots the ball, this ball and the other flies in the face where the cursor was in the shot .. but if you move the cursor to another location and shoot a second time then the second ball is also flying in the direction of the cursor and the first ball change direction toward a second shot ..
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

how to make that first ball did not change its direction and continued to fly in the direction of the shot?
Onmy stage I have a MC, and when I click it a random MC from the Library should appear and move around randomly.

i have a button, with instance name lightblue_color. I am assigning a color to its color field like this: lightblue_color.transform.colorTransform.color = 0x65ffff; then i am adding an eventlistener to the button like this: lightblue_color.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ChangeColor); Then, in the function: public function ChangeColor(evnt:MouseEvent):void {trace(evnt.target.transform.colorTransform.color);} It prints 0. Why is that? Shouldn't it print 0x65ffff or do i need to do some type conversions?
View 2 RepliesI have a psd that is to be the background of a flash site that i'm working on. I've tried every combination of exporting from photoshop and flash but the end result (in the browser) is always significantly brighter.Does anyone know what the best prossess for keeping the colour of imported raster content accurate in swf while keeping the size moderate?
View 1 RepliesI have a simple movie of a person - torso, arms, legs, each on a separate layer. I'm adding a walk cycle and use tweens to move the arms and legs. This works fine when I export to an swf. But when I group and try to export to a movieclip, the arms jump way up. This seems like a simple problem of adjusting coordinates, origins, etc. But I'm kind of a newbie, so does someone have a suggestion for me? How do I export to a movieclip and have it playback the same as when exporting to a swf?

View 1 RepliesI have an issue with links in a text box which are pulled in from a xml file.The problem is that when I have the antialias setting set to Advanced the links will shift their position to the left when you hover over them. If i turn the antialias setting off or to Normal the problem is fixed, but the text doesn't look as nice.
Here are the settings for my textbox.

Is there any fix to determine which shift key is pressed on a Mac?
I was just wondering is there a way to say like if BOTH shift and space are down gotoAndStop(3);?
View 1 Replieswhen a moive clip is clicked in my program it's instance is saved in a var _root.dis_one. My code makes the movie clip move when the shift key isn't down according to the arrow keys, and it is supposed to resize the clip if the shift key is down _root.dis_one is storing the proper var, but i am having a trouble with the resizing part. It will rezise a pre-maid movie clip, but it won't resize my dynamic movie clips. is there a certain way to rezise a dynamic MC?

So i am building a site for a client, and in it i have incorporated an automatically cross-fading background made of large photos.Wheneve they cross fade programatically my CPU gets WORKED!
I am using
Code:
if (this.photo1.imageholder1._alpha<100-this.fadeSpeed) {
this.photo1.imageholder1._alpha += this.fadeSpeed;
}
as the fading command. Is it just a characteristic of flash that it HATES to do ALPHA changes?
I broke apart all JPGs and converted them to symbols.And they all have correct X & Y coordinates.But while tweening the JPGs shift a tiny bit. Anyone know how to stop the JPGs doing the jiggle shift error?(I've seen it before, and thought I could fix it by breaking apart the JPGs and making symbols out of them, but the JPGs still have that quiver bug now)

How can I pop or shift more than one element of an array in the same time? I have been searching, and I can't find the answer anywhere. My new project is to pop or shift 3 element of an array of let's say of 100 elements, and with a click of a button display them into a textfield having in mind the date factor. If today I click the button, it'll give me the same numbers, all the day; but when tomorow i'll click the button, it will give me another set of numbers all the day long, and so on. Do I make sense and continue, or I just forget about it ? I have the button, the array, how to acces the date, and flash CS 5.5. All I need I believe, is How to pop or to shift more than one element.

differencePercentage = Math.round(((Pay.init / Pay.current) * 100) - 100);
and that gives me the difference in percent between initial and current pay, but it's reversed. When it's positive i.e. pay is above the initial value it says -X%, and when it's below it says X%.
