ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating MovieClip From TextField Object On Stage?
Aug 16, 2010I'm just creating a movieclip from a text field object on the stage, giving it an instance name and setting some timeline animated over and out states for it. I'm then setting it up in AS3 to work like a button, so nothing complicated at all. But I am getting errors I have never seen before. Code is very simple basically I have a button called 'hair' contained within the mc 'menu', here it is:
Code:
menu.hair.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER , itemOver);
function itemOver(e:Event):void {
trace(e.target);
e.target.gotoAndPlay('over');
}
So I noticed there are some new text options in CS5, but none of them give the result I want. If I leave this as the (now default) TLF text, it gives a couple of errors related to this no longer being a movieclip;
Code:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property gotoAndPlay not found on flash.text.engine.TextLine and there is no default value.
at CL022_fla::MainTimeline/itemOver()
[object SimpleButton]
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property gotoAndPlay not found on flash.display.SimpleButton and there is no default value.
at CL022_fla::MainTimeline/itemOver()
[object TextLine]
If I change it to classic, there are no errors, but the gotoAndPlay does not work. If I change the text to outlines, it works as per normal.
ActionScript 1/2 :: Any Way To Transform TextField To Vectors?
Oct 11, 2009I very often use animated text (rather for menu titles than paragraphs) in my flash works and the render of fonts is usually quite irregular. What I now do is convert the alphabet + figures of the font I am using to vectors (Ctrl + B) on the scene and then make movieclips with each letter, which I store in the library ready for AS to call them. The rendering quality is comparably better. The truth is I've never had to make more than, say 50 clips "by hand", but it would still make my life easier and save me dull time/work if there was a way with AS to transform a text field to vectors...
View 5 RepliesCreating Shape Tween Using Envelop Transform
Jun 4, 2009I'm trying to create a shape tween, in which I use the envelop transform. Somehow, when I change the position of the points on the left side of the object, the object rotates during the shape tween; if I change the position of the points on the left side, everything goes the way it should be. I recorded the screen while displaying the problem, I hope it is clear this way: [URL]

ActionScript 1/2 :: Creating A Movieclip That Functions Like A Button
Aug 16, 2010This has served me well, but I've been designing a new sight and wanted to get more into Action Script to control functions to help improve both my programming and keep my file size down.
So I decided to create an instance of a block (rectangle shape as another movieclip) and have multiple layers. One which controls the actions of two other blocks. The upper most block would not be visable until I ran the cursor over it (increase its Alpha property from 0 to 100 one step at a time in a loop). This would reverse when the cursor ran off (reduce Alpha property from 100 [or less] back to 0 in a loop).
I've read and re-read every flash book I own on the subject and cannot understand why I can't control another instance of a different movieclip.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Movieclip's Children Disappear On Color Transform
Jan 4, 2009I have a movieclip where I create a child display object (another MovieClip) in the constructor and show it with addChild();. However, later on in the code I modify the tint of the parent MovieClip using colorTransform. The child object then vanishes. Even if I do a removeChild/addChild after the tinting, it does not show. I don't understand why this is happening.. tint should just modify the color of everything, not hide children, right? See attached code for the way I am showing the child and changing the tint.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating A Hyperlink In TextField W/o Htmltext?
Feb 15, 2009I'm trying to create hyperlinks within TextFields by using a combination of plain text and the getCharIndexAtPoint method of the TextField object.
I've got everything nailed down except for the handCursor. To solve this problem I decided to place the TextField within a Sprite container and have the MOUSE_MOVE event attached to the TextField signal to its parent [Sprite container] that it should modify its buttonMode, useHandCursor, and mouseChildren properties to allow the hand cursor to be displayed, which I'm happy to say does work.
Unfortunately when I set the mouseChildren to false and the buttonMode and useHandCursor to true. The TextField within the Sprite container stops tracking the mouse...which I understand why but was wondering if there's some other combination that would allow me to do what I need to do?

textfield1.y = 300;
textfield1.height = 150;
