Anyone has had white vertical lines along one or both sides of their masks?Looking for the lines and can't find them (Mask are made in the visual interface).The mask is a black rectangle, it moves over a 2 black rectangles, one 100% alpha, the other one 35% alpha. White lines only show on 35% alpha part.

I've created a small animation containing a few images which i have converted to graphic symbols so I can alpha-tween them. I tweened the first image then copy/pasted the frames to do the next using the swap symbol function. When swapping the symbol I selected the desired symbol and pressed okay but nothing happened - I then dragged the desired symbol out of the library and onto the stage then deleted the previous symbol. As soon as I did that the new symbol I had just dragged out switched back to the previous symbol.
View 1 RepliesI was trying some stuff with masking. I have a shape on one layer. And there is another layer which acts as mask for first one. In the mask layer, I keep adding a graphic symbol to be able to reveal first layer's portions.
This is not working.
I am attaching my fla for your reference.
Please let me know what am I doing wrong.
Interestingly, if I use just shapes instead of graphic-symbol in the mask layer, it is working fine. Why is so?
I have a drawn sprite- a sine wave to be exact, which is behind a layers of dynamic masks. i need to have this wave shown in different color ranges as per the amplitude.
this wave updates dynamically based on values so am trying to use something like blend mode or transparency to set the color range instead of computing it which will make it an expensive process.
how can i color different parts of the wave based on its height/amplitude range?
I'm trying to create a scrolling timeline using a very (horizontally) long image and a scroll thumb that can be dragged right and left. When I first open the .swf file, the position of the image is correct (the far left side is on the stage). But once I click on the thumb and release it, even if I don't drag it, the image jumps as if it was dragged and suddenly I'm looking at another part of the timeline. When I drag the thumb all the way to the left, it can't go any farther left to the beginning and it's just stuck at where it jumped, but I can drag the thumb more to the right and see more of the timeline perfectly fine. Also, when I scroll all the way to the right, the timeline goes past its end and then there's blank white space. There's obviously some space missing at the beginning that should make up for that blank space at the end.
why it jumps like that and why I can't drag it back to the beginning of the timeline. In fact, I used this exact same code for another project and the timeline worked perfectly fine. All I did was use a different image for this one. I'm completely stumped on this.
Here's the actionscript I'm using:
Quote:
stop();
var thumbLeft = thumb._x;
var thumbRight = Stage.width - thumb._width;
var thumbDistance = thumbRight - thumbLeft;

ive got a flash template, but its really difficult to edit. heres the thing: there are 4 main categories buttons, and when i click each categorie, 3 options appears. for example
[Code]...
green, blue, red and yellow are already with button codes, for when i click it, it opens their 1, 2 and 3 option buttons, but these 1 2 and 3 for each color are not links, and when i try to add a code to them, ALL of them get the same link, like their instances from the same thing. and when i try to set a button to be instance of another thing, all of them change again.
its really difficult and i've tried everything. even creating another box for these 1,2and 3, but when i create a box on this section, another 2 boxes are created at its sides.
I gave this game, kinda like doodle jump on the iphone if you know it. The objective is to jump on platforms as high as you can, you are scored on this. But I have this glitch in my game that i am currently unable to fix, as i do not know why it is happening. The glitch is, if you are like a certain distance off the ground and then you fail to hit a target to proceed then the game over screen does not appear, But it does if yu fail at a low height, well literally about 1 platforms above the start.

ill try and give as much detail as possible: im trying to teach myself and make a flash site at the same time, so far so good, i already had one, but didn't like the layout
im using Macromedia flash 8 to make this. when i use the glow effect on text, and make a new keyframe to dim the glow again theres a weird blink on that keyframe and im not sure what is wrong.

View 1 RepliesThere's a lot more going on in this script than simply loading images. First I am dynamically creating the movieclips into which the images are being loaded. I am also dynamically creating masks which are used to make a refelction movie clip (basically an identicle clip that is inverted and place below the clip that is right-side up), and all the clips and masks are added to and positioned within a movie clip on the starge. The problem is that even when verifying that each mask is in the right place and that the inverted clip has the mask as its mask (which are the last operations carried out by the script called by the image loader's Event.COMPLETE handler) I still have missing reflections. Usually the missing reflctions are the first reflections e.g. 1 and 2.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to change the way an Uploadify button looks using the solutions posted here. Instead of changing the Flash file, I want to do it with CSS.
What this involves is wrapping the file input and flash object in a div:
[Code]...
It shows a bizarre blue rectangle over the top of my background-image. Does anyone know why this is appearing? I've tried fiddling with the CSS properties of the object (visibility and hidden) - both hide the entire swf object (and so the blue rectangle), which is useless since it needs to be visible for users to click on.

I'm having an issue with a button that exists on a frame in the timeline. I have 5 instances of the same button on this frame. When I first go to this frame, everything is fine. I then go to a different frame. When I give a gotoAndStop() command and return to the original frame with the 5 button instances, 1 of my five buttons is missing. I have no removeChild() commands or anything that would make this button dissappear. why this one button (out of 5 identical instances) would be gone upon returning to this frame?
View 2 RepliesI've made this site [URL] for my music, and I've got one contentHolder which I load the different sections in to (they are all external swf's). Now, if you manage to press on a different button before the external movie clip belonging to each button has been loaded, the clip goes in to a wierd constant reload state, and it's impossible to reset unless you reload the page.
View 5 RepliesI have a simple movieclip on stage which has a circle drawn in it. Just tweening it from one side of the stage to the other causes a jumpy/glitch effect. I'm not using any easing- if I do use it, the glitch is still there. But if I do this: myMc.x-=1 on Event.ENTER_FRAME, the movement is perfectly smooth (but far too slow for what I need, even on 40fps, 60fps upwards). I used to use Flash 8 and have no problems at all (from what I remember).

View 10 RepliesI'm using AS3. I have a timeline with 12 labeled frames (page 1...page12). On frames 1 to 10, I have 3 objects that users can drag and drop onto matching places. There is a timer (60 seconds) and a counter. Users should match 15 objects correctly. If so, they go to frame 12 (congratulations!). If not, they go to frame 11 (Sorry, try again), which returns them to frame 1 (page 1).
ISSUE: When users drag an object (mouseDown) and don't release it when time is over, the dragged object remains on the screen. When users go to frame 11 and game starts over, the object remains throughout the entire game.How can I get rid of the dragged object that isn't dropped when the time is over?Here ism y code:
// TIMER
var time1:int=60;var myTimer1:Timer = new Timer(1000, time1);[code]..................
Basically it's a font called Scene Pro and it's Open Type. I have a guy working on a Mac and the font does this on his computer.But it's completely fine on my PC. It's the same font.He has Font Book and we disabled all the fonts except Scene Pro - and still this happens. We need this guy to do more work in Flash but on a Mac he's kinda held back a bit with the text behaving like this. I end up Publishing the file from my computer.
View 17 Repliesdesigner by trade & having difficulty getting my head around scripting. For most of what I'm doing, I'm managing to get by modifying snippetts that I've found online. However, one spot where I'm now stuck is making a pause button work for streaming mp3 files. I should qualify that adding the pause button was an after thought that I now realise is essential to the project working properly. The mp3 needs to start playing as soon as it starts downloading which is working fine. The mp3 needs to stop when the user goes to the next or the previous page, which is also working fine. But when the pause button is clicked first time, nothing happens. When it's clicked a second time, another instance of the mp3 starts playing. The pause and stop buttons work on this second instance, but not the first. I'm sure there's something really straight forward that I'm missing here, but I need a hand to find it. Following is the script as it now stands.

View 3 RepliesFairly new to Flash but I was wondering something. When I look at a jpg in Photoshop, the quality is fantastic and the white border is sharp.
When I import that same jpg into flash and convert it to a button, it somehow looks a tad odd around the edges, like it's been scaled by 0.1% or something, enough to make the once crisp white edge, look anti-aliased.
