ActionScript 3.0 :: Tooltip Makes Movieclips Flicker Badly
Oct 15, 2009
i have been working on a project that involves 6 buttons on the stage (although they are actually movieclips with button mode set to true). Under button 6 there are actually 4 sub buttons. When you rollover the buttons they animate in a certain way. The image that is loaded into the buttons comes from a path in an XML file, and eventually so will the links for when you click on the buttons.I have all this working (although my code is a bit of a mess), but my problem is the tool tip i have displaying when you roll over the buttons. They cause the buttons to flicker really badly and it is ruining things. I thought it might be because i had the MouseEvent set on ENTER_FRAME so i changed it to MOUSE_MOVE and it still flickers really badly.I have attached my code, can anyone suggest something that would stop this flickering.

I'm having a really strange problem with movieclips that use a mask for reflection. On my main timeline i'm creating two instances of a movieclip named 'item'. In item.as i'm calling cacheAsBitmap and setting a gradient movieclip as a mask. When I run the clip I am only getting the clickable hand icon when I hover over the first clip. However, if I comment out 'this.mask = mask_mc' then both clips are selectable.
Main Timeline
Code:
var item_mc = new item();
item_mc.x = 0;
item_mc.y = 100;
addChild(item_mc);

I just received a new Dell Studio. I have the latest Flash installed. I can view Flash websites fine, and I can watch videos on all sites... except, [URL]. In fact, the video loads and a picture is displayed. The problem is that the picture is badly distorted. See the screenshot below. The top of the image is crystal clear, but the bulk of the video can not be viewed. This is different than the other threads with Flash/NHL problems. I can see something, and hear the videos fine. but... Its as if the video is in digital purgatory.

I'm making a banner in flash, and are moving some simple objects around.I mainy use vector squares, but when I tween them (classic tween) in a slow motion, the shape starts to "flicker" or "lag". Why is this?I think there has to be something with the calculations Flash is doing, but why can't it make the animation smooth?

I created my flash menu over a year ago, and need to upgrade it by adding a sub menu. I'm not very savy with flash, i usually google any actionscript that i need and guess my way through. I'm having a particularly hard time trying to figure out how to resolve the issue of my submenu flickering while the cursor is over it. I understand it's probably some problem with the layers and embedding, etc. i've attached the .fla to move things along quicker.

I need to load separate SWF files depending on different flash buttons being pressed. The problem is I see a flicker inbetween SWF's being played. I think the flicker is where it goes back one frame - but I do not know how to solve this.
The first bike should scroll along to the left then stop, buttons should then appear that allow you to load the external/separate SWF files.

Whenever I hide the mouse pointer to replace it with custom made graphic, it causes curors to flicker rapdily outside of the browser window. When you type or move across URL bar, or try to scale the browser window by dragging its corner, the mouse pointer goes crazy.

I have two button instances on the stage. I've created two functions, one for each button to handle their MOUSE_DOWN event. In both of those functions I have a trace statement to ensure the MOUSE_DOWN events trigger their respective function calls, which each do.
The Problem: When you hover over either button, the button state changes to the "OVER" state as it should. However, when you click the button, the button flickers for a split second and then goes to the "DOWN" state. The flicker appears to be the button going to the "UP" state momentarily and then to the "DOWN" state. The only thing I can think of causing this problem is the fact that there is a MovieClip on the "UP" and "OVER" states that may be inheriting button events.
I've had this happen in the past when using button instances that contain MovieClips inside of them, but never knew how to remedy the problem. As a last resort I guess I could just change all the button instances to movieclips, but I'd like to learn how to accomplish this without needing to do that first.
Here is the only code that exists in the entire file:
Code:
var _volumeUpButton:SimpleButton = btn_volume_up;
var _volumeDownButton:SimpleButton = btn_volume_down;

I'm trying to create a little slideshow with photos. I created a little animation on every photo (a really subtle zoom-in or zoom-out effect) and transition using alpha transparency.
But some photos will flicker very bad. Expecially photos containing elements like grids or straight lines. Only really blurred pictures will render well.
I already raised FPS up to 60 but flicker still occurs.
I'm using flash8. Will another flash version (which?) render the movie in a better way?

I'm justing starting to learn some actionscript. I can't figure out why my jpgs are flickering when I go from one scene to another. Do they have to reload each time? Here is a link: http:[url].....I have each animation as a separate scene, and you'll see that the buttons flicker when the new scene loads.

I have a problem with the standalone Linux Flash player. The thing is that when I have a video playing in background and over it I make some tweens, it flickers all the time and it is an annoying flicker. It happens only on Linux Flash Player (it works on Windows Flash Player). The flicker appears when I have a video on background, only when the tween is made and on the portion of the screen where the tween is made. I have Ubuntu 9.04 installed and the latest version of standalone Flash Player (from 2/24/09). I've tried this on several LCD and on all it does the same. My video card has the Intel G31 Express Chipset (the drivers for the video card are the one from Ubuntu).

My boss bought some pre-made actionscript that traces the mouse position when it's held down to display a certain frame at a certain position. He uses this for 360 product display.Then he asks me to find a way to load the jpg images each frame externaly.
I did, one jpg per frame using this:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("logo_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
logo_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc",0);

i'm trying to make a quick and easy personal flash website in a short period of time, and i've decided to use 'pictobrowser' [URL] software to create a slideshow gallery easily (my flash knowledge isn't great and my time is limited!). basically it pulls photo info from my flickr sets and creates a slideshow- but all it gives me is some html coding and i'm not sure how to incorporate this into the flash file so it loads every time the page loads.

I have run into a small graphics glitch in Flash.It seems to be both in FP9 - Exported via Flash CS3, and FP10 Exported via the Flex 4 beta SDK.The glitch /problem manifests itself as embedded text at a small point size "blooming" under certian conditions.It basically looks like the antialiasing becomes fatter at some level of text brightness. I have made a small test case below. (Obviously) You will need to embed the Arial font in your compiled SWF for the below code to work.[code]You can see an example of the problem by rolling over the graphical element here: url..It's not really an option to change to AntiAliasType.NORMAL as it makes the text way less readable at this point size.
