Anyway, I was justing wondering what program to use when making sprites for an animation, games, or whatever on flash. Would you use bitmap programs like Photoshop or vector programs like Illustrator? Or Fireworks? Is there another program which is dedicated to making prites?

It seems that I can get working the z-Sorting on my projects.I have created 3 bubbles, which are moving following an ellipsis rotation on a 2D plan laid out in 3D on the scene. During the z-Sorting, my bubbles are blinking, as if they were constantly interchanged between them.Here is the code responsible:
private var bubbles:Vector.<Bubble> = new Vector.<Bubble>();
public function ReorderChildren()
{[code].....
However, it seems that removing the for loop (which performs root.addChild), and apply the same sorting function upon the vector, bubbles are still blinking.
var bubbles:Vector.<Bubble> = new Vector.<Bubble>();
Adding bubbles to the scene for each (var flyer:FlyerVO in flyers) {
var bubble:Bubble = new Bubble(flyer);
root.addChildAt(bubble);
bubbles.push(bubble);[code]....
The simple fact that sorting the vector (which contains only references to Bubble object) make them blink.Is there any way to attach my project folder to illustrate the bug ?

As far as I can tell, it's convinced that I'm trying to use the load() method from the scrollpane class (that's where the context help takes me). How do I specify that I want to use the loader class method?

My problem is that the client I am making a homepage for wants the site to be done in Flash, but also wants to have the ability to make changes to the website on his own. Creating the website in Flash is not the problem rather what other program or method can I use, which is easy enough for someone who is not knowledgable in Flash or any other web design program, so that this client can make random changes to the menus and photos on this website?

View 1 RepliesI have created a flash program and I would like to run a second flash program from inside the first. To explain, say I am running a program that draws a circle and fills it with a color. Then, I have designed a second program that will divide a circle into sectors by entering percentages, to turn that circle into a pie chart. Is there a way to be running the "draw a circle" program and have a button that opens the "divide the circle into sectors" program in a new window and then passes information from that program to the first program. I am sure I will have to send the information from the second program to an XML file and then have the first program recieve it from the XML file (which I can do), but I don't know if I can run the second program from inside the first program.
View 1 RepliesIf I am to import an image and I wish to use it as a sprite or something like that; How do I remove the white areas? For example, if I was going to create a custom cursor or something like that, an I was to use this image: Image - how would I remove the white areas, so that they are transparent. I would also like to know if it is possible to set where the center of rotation in an image is?I do all my image work on Photoshop, if that is of any significance.

View 2 RepliesSo created a Sprite to which I add other Sprites which are game tiles. Each tile is 60 x 60 px big. In result I've the Sprite with about 200 childs (those tiles).When I try to startDrag() the container sprite the lag when moving it is very noticeable..
Is there a way like to join the tile Sprites so the container would have only 1 child Sprite instead of 200? Because it lags so much probably cause it needs to move (change the x and y) all those 200 tiles.. Am I correct?In this case I can't use the cacheAsBitmap property, cause user can zoom in or zoom out the map..
I'm currently building a slideshow application using the MVC pattern, as it stands the application works by going to the next picture by clicking the photo or controlling the slides with a next/prev button.
i am trying to add additional navigation so that there are thumbnails of the images loaded with XML so the user can click the image and go straight to the image clicked on.
thats easy enough i could add buttons manually with thumbnails in them but it would tedious to update the photography or artwork when it comes to increasing or reducing the number of photos.
so what i plan is that ,when the application loads it reads and counts the images Thumnails in the XML file,then the AS3 generates thumbnail icons according to the amount of images counted in the XML File, then places them on the stage in a sequence next to each on the stage. as a sequence of thumnails with can then be used to navigate around the library with more control and is easy to update simply by changing the XML file.[code]...
How can insert sprites from the IDE? When I press f8 the only options are MovieClip, Buttons and Shapes. If I export to ActionScript I can change the class to Sprite, but I want to insert a Sprite directly from the IDE.

View 1 RepliesI'm making a picture gallery. I have a thumbnail container, which contains a mask and a dynamically generated mc called "thumbnail_mc". Thumbnail_mc contains all the sprites of the thumbnails.When I click on a thumbnail, the thumbnail get's a glow filter added to it.

View 3 RepliesI'm creating visual effects using TweenLite, which currently only manages the tweens for me, can I also attach a sprite at a specific time? (using "delay")
Basically I want to use TweenLite to attach/remove sprites apart from just tweening existing objects.
I have a function that adds a player to a sprite containerwhen that player is clicked a hit test is done on the tiles surrounding that player that it can move to and put into an array.all that works fine.my problem is after I add more than one player to the stage I can only move the latest addition when I use MapInfo.player.x = (hexagon_width * .25) + hexagon_x_position-90;I thought if I used getChildByName I might get around making a custom event.but I get an Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. when I use the code below
trace(MapInfo.getPlayer);// =MapInfo.player.name
var targetisplayObject = MapInfo.player.getChildByName(MapInfo.getPlayer);
target.x = (hexagon_width * .25) + hexagon_x_position-90;

How can I refer to the ith sprite when the user clicks?Suppose the user clicks yellow5,I want a reusable code that will refer to yellow5.red5
