ActionScript 3.0 :: Brightest Parts Of The Image Have Rolling Over Are Also The Darkest When The Tween Begin
May 27, 2009
I was visiting this site mentioned in a book about flash we sites [URL]. and i really got curious about the effect of the picture in the background. when you roll over the area they practically have an alpha tween...but i think it's not just alpha tween...i noticed that the brightest parts of the image you have rolling over are also the darkest when the Tween begin. is kind of "selective alphaTween"?.
In this example, I'm trying to programmatically fade-in the alpha of menu items created from xml data. Using the tween object, I'm trying to start the next tween once the first or previous tween has finished. Clearly in my attempt below, the statement isn't cutting it because it's not waiting for the tween to be finished. Using the oListener.onMotionFinished method, I tried using a Boolean to return true when finished, and then to start the next tween. But clearly I haven�t figured out the proper control flow for this.
I am trying to make a banner where two colored squares roll across the screen. The first blue square does just fine, however when trying the same thing with a green square (in a different layer) it does ok the first half of the tween, but reverses direction in the second half (where I placed a keyframe)- even though I rotated the green square the same way as the first half.
I'm trying to learn Flash, and thought I had it figured out for motion tweens. I'm using CS3. I created a background and added 4 images. I created a motion tween for the first image (on it's own layer), but when I try to run it, all the other images and background dissappears. The tween works, but the rest is invisible, just turns white.
i have the logo rolling but would like it to have an elastic effect sort of bounce at the end of my motion path. how to add extra keyframes on my motion tween to achieve this effect
I'm trying to do this: When I roll over a button, an image appears. I have three buttons and 1 image per button that corresponds with it. When I roll out, the image disappears. I have most of it figured out, but the part that gets me is how to make each button correspond to one image. Right now when I roll over all three buttons, it only shows the image the first button should.
I use this smooth, nice (and simple) image gallery, and I am very happy with it. However sometimes some of the images stops when rolling in, and I have to press Fw again to jump to the next one. I can't figure out where the bug lies, as I mentioned it appears rarely but it blows up the whole thing.
Trying to build something that will tween (a variable) number of texts across a banner. Would like to start tween at random locations.Problem is I can't figure out how to restart tween at different location.I have code below which will restart tween at same location.
/* Loop for texts and tween each text */ i = 1; // Assign first text text_mc.myText.text = ["text"+i];
I have .ppm files which are the result of using a segmentation algorithm on images of things.These basically look like a jigsaw puzzle of randomly colored funny-shaped segments. I'd like for each segment to be selectable.I want them to change color on mouseover, so I can't just use bitmapData. getColorBounds (that's the best thing I could find searching for possible solutions).As far as I know, the best way to make a specific shape selectable is to draw a polygon using graphics.lineTo, etc. Assuming that that is true, is there any way to draw a polygon that roughly follows a jaggedly-shaped area of a certain color? Or is this just not something flash can handle?
I have a scrolling image. Like the speed, like everything about it except that the image keeps panning out of sight on either side never to be seen again! What to Doooo??
My MC button is now working as expected with one problem... when I click the mouse button when over a MC button then roll the mouse off the button and release the mouse button, the button stays 'hilighted' (in frame 3 of the button MC) until you roll the mouse over it again.I'd like it to stay highlighted only as long as the cursor is over the button and the mouse button is held down...when you roll the mouse cursor off the button it should release it and send it back to frame one of the button MC. Does that make sense?Here is the code:
i have a driving game with a countdown timer that will be the score.i want the countdown to begin at 20 and then if the car collects and item, the timer to add 10 seconds. here is the timer:[code]and here is the collision between the car and the object. i would like to be able to put the "add 10" code in the 'else' bit.[code]...
i need to do another one, exactly the same, but it will have a rolling picture (4) when 1 button is rolled over.
I can set it up to fade in when the mouse rolls over, but i am just wandering how to set it that i can make 4 images fade in after eachother after a space of about 3 seconds. If you need code i am more then happy to give what i have at the moment. i am assuming i will need a timer in there but i am not very good at AS3.0 so i do not know how to write it
I have develop an aplicacation with Flash CS4 and as3, in adobe air, I would like to know if adobe air have any property so that applications runs when windows starts
I've got a submit form and my script points the blank fields with a error message (movieclip). How do I make the error movieclip ._visible = false when a user begins typing in a the relevant text box?
I have a simple animation that displays some text, and swaps out for a new one using FlashEff effects. It's all very simple, with each section containing only two dynamic text boxes and a background image along one timeline. At the end, I use an AS to loop. What I'd like, to impart some sense of variety, is for when the movie starts to actually begin at any one of the following frames: 2, 137, 329, 489, 618 or 750. It plays through to the end, and then goes to frame 2 to play through them all. In effect, just choosing a random start point for the whole cycle.
I can't get a handle on what AS to put in frame 1 that will select from THAT SET of random numbers.
I have several flash based lessons that I have created that are being distributed online to several companies. Each lesson has a video that is played within the lesson through the flvplayback control. The videos were supplied by a third party and some of the videos are encoded at 384K and some are at 568K.
One company that is attempting to view the lessons is seeing the following behavior. The video plays for approximately 20 seconds then suddenly the video drops out and the audio continues to play. With the audio still playing the video scrubber rolls back and attempts to start the video again but all that comes through is the audio track again. Now there are 2 instances of the audio playing with no video. This happens a third time and finally keeps going until all the audio is played out.
The IT staff at the company has showed me a fiddler log that shows the flash player making a connection out to Akamai to retrieve the video and then rolling from port 80 to port 1935 and finally to port 443. This would explain the three audio tracks playing
I have read that the flash player will attempt to gather the stream from the stated rtmp location and then if it encounters an issue with a proxy or firewall it will attempt the other ports.So I am not sure if there is anything I can do by design or programatically to alleviate this issue. It appears to me that the company attempting to view this video has some kind of bandwidth throttling program in place that is kicking off this behavior in the flash player.
Is it possible to prevent the flash player from making the three attempts? Would a sudden cut of bandwidth prompt the player to attempt to roll to another port if a network load balancing program suddenly kicked in? If it is bandwidth is that why the audio stream continues to play because there is enough bandwidth for the audio track to get through, but not the video?
I have attached a screen shot of the sniffer output so you can see the rolling ports thing.
I want to make an e-card for a marriage in flash. The card opens from the top. How do i give an effect of the card being opened on click? or even the card being opened automatically!
My goal is to simply have the cursor swap to be a hand (pointer) when I roll over a MovieClip. Obviously I could use SimpleButton, but the situation is that I have some enemies that are obviously MovieClips, and when I select an ability to use I want the mouse to show as a pointer when I roll over them.
I assumed this would work:
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); mc.graphics.beginFill(0); mc.graphics.drawRect(0,0,50,50);
[Code].....
There are workarounds such as adding a button into the enemy MovieClip and then removing it. Just seems there's an inbuilt way I'm missing.
I have a menu with buttons at the bottom of my page, and I want to have a textfield with info about each of the buttons.When you roll over on of the buttons, the info comes up, and when you roll over the next, that info replaces the other one. Standard thing. My buttons is inside a movieclip on the page where I want the info.
I'm trying to make my movie loop, but when I enter the following code in the last movie clip (layer) of my swf movie, it only loops back to the first frame of that movie clip (layer).
gotoAnd Play (1);
When I do the code above it doesn't loop back to the beginning of my movie.
What is the proper code for making it loop to the very beginning?
I tried to do the following code, but I got an error message. I'm not sure of the proper syntax for the code.
tli_logo.gotoAndPlay(1);
tli_logo is the name of the very first movie clip (layer) of the swf movie.
I believe that making the last frame of the last movie clip (layer) loop back to the first frame of the first movie clip (layer) will be what I am trying to achieve. Is this the proper way to go about this, or there a better and more proper way to do this. If there is, then please send me the proper syntax AS cs3 code to do it.
I have a movie with two tabs that are both in the unclicked state. However, I'd like the movie to default begin with tab one already pressed down. I'm also using the hash variable to determine between both tabs (so they both don't stay clicked at the same time). [URL]
I'm trying to create a horizontal drop-down (well, sliding in actually) menu bar that expands to stage when rolling over it, and collapsing in when rolling-out. Problem is, when I roll-over one of the buttons in the menu, flash thinks I'm rolling out from the area that was supposed to trigger the menu in.I have attached the file I'm working on (hopefully the most accurate one, as I tried dozens of solutions and wasn't very careful with naming...
Is there anyway to use ActionScript (and/or Flashvars) to tell a video page to begin with the Mute button toggled to off? We are creating a page for multiple-languages, and the client wants the sound to begin muted. I have yet to figure out what kind of variable is used by muteButton in the built in skin, whether its a boolean with true/false or what.
I have been trying to create a animation with horizontal scroll to begin on mouseOver. There are a set of 8-10 swfs movie, which I am calling though a xml file into the main scroll movie clip. I would like to animate and call the swfs in such a way that they drop into the screen and stay on a 800px width movie screen, on mouseOver the horizontal scroll should begin.I have seen a lot of threads for the sroll, in all the threads the movie is scrolling and on MouseOver it stops.
