View 2 RepliesI made a gradient glow within the FLASH IDE on one of my textfields. I was wondering if there is a way to change the glow in as3? Apparently you can not change the glow in the flash IDE. It has to be white/black gradient.
View 2 RepliesI have a grid of DisplayObjects that when I put a glow on any of them, the glow overlap the other objects.
I was wondering if I could take the glow created by a DisplayObject and put it another, so I can attach it to a container that's behind all the objects?
Code below is fine and shows a nice eased button when you rollover it brightens and rollout and if fades back. If you change the alpha property on the glowfilter to '1', I have a nice glow around the thumbnail button that fades in and out.... so... how do I get the alpha of the glow to start at 0 and fade to full strength while the main thumbnail image works as it is at the moment???

I am creating an application for iPhone4, and one of the problems I am having is the lack of filter support. I am trying to create a "stroke" around some bitmaps... an example would be a text field that is white on a bright background - I would put a black stroke around it to contract it... there are other needs as well, but this is an example.
Before, I would just put a glow filter on the text field, tweak the settings and it looked good and did exactly what I wanted.But iPhone4 high resolution with gpu acceleration don't support filters - and I can't change those requirements... so any and all bitmap filters are out. Any way I can create a glow filter effect without using filters that would not be a major performance hit for fps and memory?

where I have a logo pulsating with glow.. I've gotten it to go from 0 to 100% and back (looping), however, I'd like to to take it a step further and have more of a random glow, for example have it go from 0% to 90% to 40% to 75% to 10% to100%.. I'm thinking that I need to set up different vars for each one of the alpha states and than pick them randomely... however I dont' know how to go about that.Here's my code so far:
var delta: Number = -0.05;
logo_glow.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_FadeSymbolOut);
logo_glow.alpha = 1;[code].....
When I pull Illustrator elements with Outer Glow into Flash, the glow looks pretty nasty...lots of artifacts and "squares" throughout the area where the glow is.
Is there a way to preserve the high quality glow I see in Illustrator once I import those graphics into Flash?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to make my own script. And simply because I suck at making actionscripts, it hasnt gone too well.What I wanna do is that I have 5 miniature buttons for my navigation.When the main timeline is between frame 115 and 128, I want the first button to glow. The second button should glow when the main timeline is between 129 to 141 etc.[code]This is what I tried to make work, which it didnt. I have pasted the Actionscript directly into the button. "miniatyr_guld" is the button name.

I have a glowFilter applied to movie clips on rollover state. When I try and publish from this computer the glow is always red no matter what I set the color to. If I publish on another computer the color publishes normally. Is there some setting in my preferences somewhere that is causing this error or do I possibly need to do a clean install? I created an example attached with the code I am using. The glow is applied with Tweener as well.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to do is to get a circle sprite to glow or highlight when the mouse is over. Using the glow filter, I set the inner boolean to true, but what happens is I get an outline, not an inner glow. It's on top of a bevel filter, which I tried removing to see if I'd get a glow, but still ended up with just the outline.
Here is my code for the function:
public function drawCircle(){
//Object
buttonCircle = new Sprite();
//Bevel Related:
var matr:Matrix = new Matrix();
[Code] .....
So I'm getting just an outline.
var navBtnGlow:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(color:uint = 0x999999,
alpha:Number = 1.0,
blurX:Number = 0,
blurY:Number = 15,
strength:Number = 1,
quality:int = 2,
inner:Boolean = true,
knockout:Boolean = false);
I even copied and pasted from a tutorial, the alpha word glows blue when I place it in my flash project, and I keep getting this error message.
Syntax error: expecting rightparent before colon.

I created a custom component in Flex 3 that contains a column chart. I also added code that will allow the user to drill down on a column when there is underlying detail data. If there is no data, clicking on the column has no effect. I want to make the column under the mouse glow when the drill down functionality is possible as a visual signal to the user. How do I make the column glow when my IF statement results in true?

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to add a glow filter to a single MovieClip out of a few I've got on my stage. This is what I've got so far but for some reason it applies the filter to absolutely every layer on stage, instead of just the one MC I want..

Come to think of it, all I'd really need would be a stroke, rather than a glow; but I don't know of any "stroke filter".. If the big picture would help at all, what I'm trying to do is "add" borders to a few (intersecting and growing) disk layer masks.. I'd like the stroke intersection to look like the "Liquid Form" found here: [URL]
