Regarding the code below, when Document class is "Main" [the intended default condition] I do not get the graphics declared in class Thing (ie., in object myThing:Thing) put on stage. Why??? Whereas when I define Document class as Thing, then yes theses graphics do appear on stage. So the syntax itself is OK

I have two layers in Photoshop: 1 -- a texture, 2 -- a semi-transparent image that overlaps texture. The combination of the two looks nice in Photoshop. I export them separately from Photoshop saving them as 24 bit PNG with transparency and colors converted to sRGB. (Working color space of PS is sRGB.) The result of importing them into flash makes me cry (see images below, note what areas around crosses look like).
I tried both loading PNGs dynamically and directly importing them into fla (compression type: lossles, allow smoothing: false). Looks like semi-transparent areas are saved inaccurately on export. What's more puzzling to me is why the results differ between dynamic loading and direct importing. Here is that psd I'm stuck upon. Inside the zip you'll find transparency.psd, which has only two layers. I still have no luck in placing them into fla: transparent areas get dirty. [URL]
The documentation for the List component at[URL].. states "A list can also display graphics, including other components," but nowhere can I find an example of HOW to make this happen. Can anyone please point me to a working example, I really need to be able to leverage this functionality, but I cannot for the life of me find anywhere it's being done.

ActionScript Code:

I am using a third party flash as3 code to load graphics using sprite. There is a class (load) that takes care of the loading of the graphics.In a new class(getname), I want to be able to1. Load the graphics (done)2. On mouseover change the color of graphics(done)3. Display name of rolled over graphic (not working). I have tried the following in
getname:var feature : load;feature.name;
I get a null object error. Now I have used the mousevent routine(e.target.name) and can display the instance #(instance149). But what I really want is the name of the graphics that the load function loads (graphics and the dbf with all the attributes including the name).
I have an .as class file which creates a circle at the mouseX and Y, another .as file that acts as a getter/setter for my array and a .flv file to run to script. It's sposed to create a circle at the mouse coordinates and expand. the problem is, it creates the circle which expands but depending on how far away you click from the top left, the circles fly right off the stage towards the bottom right.
I traced the x and y coordinates of the circles but their coords aren't changing. heres the code
///// AS File /////
package com.tools.circleDraw {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Graphics;

I build games, which tend to run slowly when there are more than a dozen or so graphics being moved about the stage. I feel that my code is clean (I have researched code optimization) but not sure how I can make improvements with graphics. Currently, all graphics are created in Photoshop and imported to Flash as .png (I need semi-transparency, hence the .png format). I then set the image quality to low inside the library.
Every image usually resides within its' own sprite or movieClip. My games seem to slow down a fair deal when an image is introduced (such as a semi-transparent cloud drifting across the screen). Is there a special way to handle images when performance is an issue? I've only heard of stuff like cacheAsBitmap and other such fancy terms.
does anyone knows how to make a scalleable swf without having to scale the graphics aswell?
View 4 RepliesI have a client who wants some graphics to appear "coming onto the screen from the sides." They are flames, to be exact. She does not want them to just come in inside the "box" (stage). She wants them to appear coming in from the sides of the browser window. Is there a way to do this? That is, can you make graphics or movie clips that start off outside of the frame appear in the browser when the swf file is saved?

View 1 RepliesI have searched this forum and can't seem to find an answer. I'm loading an external movieclip inside an empty movie clip. But when the clip loads, I can see all my graphics that i have placed outside the stage area, that i want animating in.
I understand I can use a mask, but i feel like the mask is slowing my animation down because of how big it is. There must be another way.
I have a library swf (asset.swf), it's document class binded to Asset.as, and in the Constructor function of Asset,[code]as known to all, we cannot visit the stage attribute before the display object added to the stage.so, when my loader.swf try to load asset.swf, it throws exception and the loading come to failure is there some one tell me how to load the asset.swf? I cannot modify the asset.swf.

I was wondering about MC and hey can help to lag a game out. I set up an advanced class system so i don't have to use MC to simulate walls, all i use isthe x,y,width and height. Well anyway since i don't need MC anymore I was wondering if there is a way to attach Graphics instead of MC cause a Graphics file size is relatively small than that of a graphic, I think. If anyone could tell me thats true and show me a way to attach graphics that would be nice. I haven't tried it yet but maybe if I exported the graphic from the library imihgt be able to call its name, but it doesn't have an instance name so im stuck.

View 2 RepliesI'm sure you're expecting me to have forgotten to use addChild. I wish it was that easy. I will say I'm very new to AS3.0. I have a movie clip in my library that contains a small PNG file and a text label. The linkage properties are: Class: shapes.HorizontalIcon, Base class: flash.display.Sprite.[code]As far as I can tell this should work. There are no errors. The trace statement above shows up in the output. The parent sprite is also an item from the library. It shows up on the stage. I tried adding a random TextField to the parent sprite it showed up on the stage just fine.Something isn't working right, but I don't know where to start debugging this.

I like to find out what Listeners are in existence at a single moment. My code is long so it is hard to go line by line to isolate the issue. It would be faster if I knew what Listeners are were activated.
I am trying to paste a bitmap (any bitmap) onto the stage. I just get the box outline on the stage. I have imported several basic bitmaps into the library. I tried dragging and copying and pasting but I always just get the outline. I don't know if it means it can't be pasted or there is a setting to display it. If I copy the same bitmap and paste into word for instance I do see the image.

- An explanation or strategy may be enough, "I've got pretty close on this one"
- There was confusion regarding the Containers and addChildren...looked like arrays
The code "get as far as error with NumbersView and numbers undefined etc".

The methods were proved separately. "I got a earlier version of the document going, but I need to work through this to understand it."
Symbol Properties
Class ImageView
Tweener
The "caurina" folder needs to be present
Rolling Numbers "Success loading numbers and connecting to counter".
Placed the movie clip object on stage with two dynamic text fields in it. Make sure the container is placed on stage, has the two text fields in it, and everything is given a proper instance name. Also include the caurina folder.
Seconds MovieClip symbol with instance name of seconds
firstDigit Dynamic text field with instance name of firstDigit, placed in seconds
secondDigit Dynamic text field with instance name of secondDigit, placed in seconds

Un-tick 'Export for ActionScript'
Use 'Name, Class, and Instance' correctly

Here's the code for the ButtonTile class:

I think there are 2 different practices with dealing with display object on the stage.You draw all the objects on the stage and then manipulate the "visible" attribute to show or hide them.You use addChild and removeChild to manipulate the visiblity.How do you think what is the best method for this?

I need to debug after publishing and I can't replace each single "trace" functon.
i just wanna know how I display a bitmap that I exported for action scriptinially i tried this
var myBitmap:NameOfTheClass = new NameOfTheClass(40, 40);
addChild(myBitmap);
i got a error saying that is not possible to implicitly convert a BitmapData to a displayObject (or samething like that) so a changed the base class of the exported bitmap to flash.display.Sprite, but didn't work, the same error was generated.
