I need to allow the user to modify this mask. They need to be able to use a 'brush', to either add to or subtract from the mask.basically add or remove red.I have tried the mask as both vector and bitmap and haven't had much success with either.
View 4 Repliesi'm using this dynamic mask, originally coded by the canadian in an old thread, and i'm trying to get it to work in reverse (start with a full image and end with blank).

i have a situation whereby the user can upload an an image to my application. Then they can manipulate it by scaling etc. What I want to do now is allow them to change the tint/colour of their image, for the purpose of getting it to suit the other elements of the page better. Is there any simple/third party code to do this does anyone know? I'm picturing maybe a slider or something to tweak it.
View 1 RepliesEventually I would like it to show our projects along a horizontal axis, when the user clicks an image additional images and text is revealed. At the moment I have got the horizontal axis working with images loading in and separating into each project. Now I am trying to code it so that for every project a mask is loaded in with the height of the mask equaling the length of the pictures (which I think may need me to restructure my code). So that only the first image is shown.
The important code for this is:
function processXML(e:Event):void{
var myXML:XML = new XML(e.target.data);
xPos = 0;
yPos = myXML.@YPOSITION;
thumbWidth = myXML.@WIDTH;
thumbHeight = myXML.@HEIGHT;

I'm not sure if i need to restructure the code so that for every project in the xml file it inserts the images of that project into a new movieclip, not sure how to do that though.
I have a startDrag function set up on a loader and mask that when the mouse is down on the loader it drags, when not it doesn't. There is also 2 buttons that control whether mask1 or mask2 is used. What i would like however is when the mouse is down - the area of the loader outside of the mask is visible but only by about 10/20% alpha, that way the user can see where all the image is while dragging. Is this possible? Full code can be seen below and i have attached the zip with the .fla file:

what i am doing is to make something along the lines of the "scriptable mask" tutorial Inigo was kind enough to put up.My idea is to have a large mask behind the whole of my flash site, this masks a colour image with a black & white one (nothing tricky). The image I am using is actually 5 separate images combined, and each is a pic of certain parts of the site.I also have a very basic set of buttons along the bottom... each corresponding to each section.
All I want is to set it up so that when I mouse over the buttons, the _x of the mask moves to correspond with the correct image... really very basic... or so I thought .If anything it should be easier to do than what is in Inigo's tut (where he uses the _x of the mouse to move the mask)... i just cant seem to get it to work with a nice easing effect (its easy to get the mask to simply snap to each coordinate, but I need it to smoothly move).
maybe point me towards a better way to mask. png file is way too big. I have been using the mask layer option to create my own mask around a jpg image by drawing around it on the mask layer. There has to be a fetter and faster way to do this. Is it possible to maybe have a specific color range have an alpha value of 0. Similar to green screening whereas If I put the item I want to clip on a green background flash will auto take out the green for me. and by auto I mean action script maybe. I think this can be done but im not finding it.
how are these guys clipping these images [URL] they have the movie clips set up where the black background on the 3 layers of shoes is getting masked out. When I go into the shoe movie clips I see there is a black background but it just disappears when I go back to main timeline.
ive gotten one movie clip to mask another in the actions frame but i cant seem to be able to mask the flames which are a shape with a movieclip in this as file. im not getting any errors but the mask isnt covering anything look near the bottom at s.mask=mask_mc; there are about 20 "s" shapes spawning per second if that has anything to do with it
Code:
//this package turns an mc into a flaming button that calls a javascript function
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code].....
I was wondering if its possible to mask multiple MC or Sprites under one mask, when using AS3.abc.mask = a;cba.mask = a;something like that
View 2 RepliesIt is possible to make file transfer from air application via server?I think need to create like byte array streaming or somethink like this from sender and write the destination file on receiver user pc.
View 2 RepliesI wonder wether on a website like chatroulette for example, the streaming video is going directly from user to user or wether it is going through a server.
In other words I wonder wether it is possible to offer a webcam service on a website, so that the streaming video goes directly from user to user, without overloading the system.
is it possible in actionscript for the user to type in a box from a keyboard like a user input text box..
View 3 RepliesWe have a sort of game, generated with Flash in AS3, on our website where the reader is invited to eliminate the California Budget Deficit. It's connected to a database where we keep track of the responses and print them in chart form and post the results on the website so everyone can see the most popular budget items the readers want to cut.
See the interactive in question here:

We've had many, many requests to have an option where the reader can get a copy of his/her choices that he/she can print out. I've thought about having a movieclip pop up that shows those choices (and that would be simple enough), but in addition to that, what I'd really like to do is have a way to download those choices to the reader's computer as a text file or maybe have a "Print" button on the movieclip showing the choices that would print just that movieclip. The database we have wouldn't really be suitable because it's set up to simply show which were chosen and which not, and the names of the submissions and choices are variables that don't really mean anything except to us when we put it all in an excel file.
I have some text that says go to page with a input textfield box and a go button.

View 1 RepliesFor one of my projects I need users to be able to communicate with each other in an audio mode. The thing I'm concerned about is the scalability of the project if it even gets big in terms of bandwidth consumption.
What are the alternatives to passing the audio through my server to the users?Is it possible to create a link between two users so they can exchange their stream of data (audio in this case) so that it doesn't pass through me, while still being able to control the time they've been connected to each other and some other information?
As for now it's just an idea I have in mind but I don't really know what to look into. I think it will probably need to be some plugin dependant solution so that's why I tagged the question like that.
I'm not looking for a concrete solution, just a little push in the right direction from someone who has been through something similar.

View 14 RepliesI notice in flash the Modify > Arrange option seems to be buggy and work only sometimes. I have a few shapes on the same layer and wanted to arrange them on top of each other in different order and it doesn't work... The shapes were created with shape tool and pen too as drawing objects.
I would have to go the extreme, either I would have recreate the shape to be recognized by the program or cut and paste into a new layer and transfer back down to the single layered that was needed. illustrator has the exact same option with no problems.

I have a form that is written in MXML that allows a user to create/add a User.I need to add a form that allows a user to modify SOME but NOT ALL of the fields for this user.The forms are so similar, I don't want to have to create two separate forms, one for Add and one for Modify.For example, in the Add form, the user specifies a user id. In the Modify form, the "user id" field is not editable.I'm wondering how I can initialize the MXML form (i.e. pass in a parameter?) so that it knows whether it is in the Add state or the Modif state.I know I can't do the following but this is what I would like to do (pseudocode):[code]
