I have several Sprites that are all combined in one parent Sprite. The parent Sprite then gets a Glowfilter applied and should then be masked by a Textfield.
Everythings working fine but as soon as I apply the Filter to the Sprite nothing shows... However, if I apply the Filter to every single Object that the Sprite contains, it works...
How do I clear a filter after having applied it to an object. In particular, I'm bluring an object while animating it but want to clear the blur once it's hit the destination mark.[code]
View 3 RepliesI experience some sort of a bug when trying to dynamically mask an object to which I have applied rotationY with an object which is also applied rotationY.

View 4 RepliesIs there any way to remove a filter that's been applied to a sprite?
Let's say I have a sprite named rect, and I've applied three filters to it[code]...
How can I remove those filters, and return rect to it's original unfiltered state?
I have not seen an answer for this sideeffect. I have a sprite (aka MovieClip sorta)n my stage. I am using a motion tween on the timline(keyframes, etc) that moves my sprite object from left to right. Iwould like to apply a glow filter to the object on the stage. I amusing GreenSock, TweenLiteFilter, although the same thing happensif I use the standard Flash glowfilter. If I apply the filter inactionscript, the tween ceases to play. If I apply thefilter usingthe timeline, and clicking on my sprite on the stage, the motiontween plays.Can I not mix and match effects in ActionScript and thetimeline? Does this mean if I want a filter and a motion tween atthe same time it has to be done via keyframes on the timeline OR in

View 4 RepliesTo situate things I am working on a translation utility with a datagrid having 3 columns : translation code, reference text and target text.
The DataGrid's dataProvider property is bound to an ArrayCollection instance. The user can edit the grid and on a successful edit, the underlying collection is updated using the setItemAt() method. The collection also has a filter function to make it easier to find certain texts.
When the user clicks the 'apply filter' button the filter function is updated. This works well. The problem I have is that rows are hidden as soon as the underlying collection item change in a way that doesn't comply with the filter. The row is hidden immediately, which is not very user friendly. Rows should only hide (or be shown) when the 'apply filter' button is pressed.
How do I change the CSS rules for a TextField that already has style associated with it ?
This TextField is inside a RichTextEditor.
Here's the code I'm trying:
_rSts: StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
_rSts.parseCSS('font {font-family:Verdana; font-size:12;}');
_rTextField.styleSheet = _rSts;
but when I assign the new StyleSheet to the TextField it throws an exception stating that I cannot assign a style to an element already containing a style.
I am make an input textfield via actionscript and then applying a textformat, cannot type in it.
Code:
var format = new TextFormat();
with (format) {
font = "Tahoma";
size = 8;
bold = true;
[Code] .....
It not only puts it in the box(neatly formatted the way i like), I can also erase it and type what i want in the box. Also if i comment out the embedFonts line, it works too (obviously without formatting).
I have some textfields generated from code, and if I apply a drop shadow filter on them, sometimes the right or the bottom part of the textfields' border just disappear.
Code:
_passwordField.filters = [new DropShadowFilter(1, 45, 0, .75, 3, 3, 1, BitmapFilterQuality.HIGH)];
this is the line of code, which is responsible for this bug (is it a bug?) because if I comment it out, the borders render correctly.
i've created a sprite to drag and drop around the stage. the sprite is masked and has it's mask as it's child so that it too will drag along with the sprite. everything works fine until i add a drop shadow filter to the sprite. when the drop shadow is added, i can only mousedown to drag and mouseup to drop the sprite if the mouse events occur within the original location of the sprite when it was added to the stage.
var thumbMask:Sprite = new Sprite();

In the Flash CS4 IDE, if you have Dynamic Text, you can apply a filter labeled Adjust Color which lets you change Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, and Hue. Can someone explain how to do that through Actionscript 3 instead of the IDE? I found a couple of old tutorials and followed them but can't get things working. Not sure if that filter is called ColorMatirx or ColorMatrixFilter or if those refer to something else entirely.
View 3 RepliesI have an input Text Field with the autoSize property set to true, a DropShadow filter, and with a default text value of "Your text here".When the user enters text in the Text Field, and if their entry exceeds the length of the default text, everything typed after that length is reached APPEARS to have been truncated.
However, when I turn the DropShadow off, the TextField expands to the requirements of the newly entered text. This proves that the TextField actually autosized, but just didn't show the additional characters when the DropShadow was applied. I can then turn the DropShadow back on, showing all of the text in the Text Field. how to autoSize a textfield(so that the user can actually see the expanded TextField) when a DropShadow filter has been applied?
I tried this using

worked, however this method (using extra sprite for a textfield) is just too dirty, let alone we want to apply filters to multiple textfields.. Anyone knows how to apply filter directly to TextField instance in AS3.0?
I have created a textFormat object and applied to Dynamic text field, but I do not see the effect. Am I missing something? I have a section of the code belo. fields[h] is actually a dynamic text field in the case below. As you can see I have assigned the arial as a font and red color as its color. But when I run the movie, it has no effect at all. But if I trace the textFormat as below i can see arial and 0xff0000 (in decimal) in console.

However I'm trying to make a Xray screen for all of them, so when I click and drag the Xray screen around, it will reveal the images loaded under each picture, creating a sort of Xray effect.I tried using masks, however since the images are all loaded dynamically they are its own class with its own layers, I'm trying to make a mask that will work for all of them (I load 2 picture for each image, example car.jpg and carb.jpg, b.jpg being the inside image).so I have my stage ---> [MyXray Box, and my Images

View 3 Replies1. If you have a dynamic text field and movieclip under a mask layer.
2. through actionscript you set the text of the text field, and set the frame of the movieclip.
3. You want the mask to animate, so you create a new keyframe at frame 10 in the mask layer, and change the shape of the mask. The problem is that when you play the movie and it reaches the keyframe where the mask changes, it resets both the text field and movieclip to it's initial state. I've run into this issue in both AS2 and AS3, and also using an animated movieclip as a mask. Whatever is underneath the mask gets reset. I've created a very simple fla to demonstrate this (attached).
I have made a small game in flashdevelop. I have written a filter in pixelbender to do different stuff on a football in the game. Everything works fine on my home-computer where I have developed the game- but when I try it on other machines the object on which I use the filter, does not show. It seems like the filter does not work eventhough I use flash player 10.
