I need a very special component written in ActionScript 3. It is a rectangle filled with a bitmap. The bitmap is loaded from an external URL based on some programmed rules. The textured rectangle is then animated using Flash CS. Animation is performed using rotate/translate/scale/skew tools. How to create such a component and add it to Flash CS library?
View 1 Repliesmy problem is that if i scale, rotate or translate a display object using its transform.matrix i am not getting the value in the display object but the transform is happening like displayObject.scaleX or displayObject.scaleY etc. i get this new transform value using the dislayobject? as i am using a matrix transform manager which actually changing the transform matrix of the display object.
View 8 RepliesI'm trying to apply a GlowFilter (border) to a image and then rotate+skew it. Unfortunately, doing this makes the filter look bad (jagged edges) even though the image itself is smooth. I've tried a few things, including using different filters (like the DropShadowFilter). Here's a rough example of what I'm doing...

I am having some dificulty making a path for this enemy i'm trying to create... cause i want him to rotate + move, then stop, then shoot, then rotate back and move off screen... Its easier if you see it.. you can download the swf file in the zipped archive to demonstrate what i mean. I did it there with tweens. Anyway.. i tried and make it but i'm a little stuck on the stopping part... you can also see what i did in the fla file attatched...
View 1 RepliesTHere are 3d carousels in Web Sites for displaying image galleries which require that images are rotated in the z axis. My requirement is to do the same but for a complete flash animation so that the flash animation is displayed slightly tilted in the z-axis
The kind of tilt I am talking about is similar to the tilted images in [url]...
My requirement is to play a flash animation inside the image of a mobile phone which is tilted hence to fit the animation inside the screen of the mobile phone image, the animation also needs to be tilted
I want when the user click and dragg (Mouse_DOWN) the rotate button, the image will be rotatedAlso, when the user click and drag the scale button, the image will be scaled.Here is my code, but it dosen't work as I need:
btn_rotate.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, on_btn_rotate_down);
btn_rotate.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, on_btn_rotate_up);
function on_btn_rotate_down(e:MouseEvent):void

I have 2 movieclips (btn_rotate, btn_scale) that are attached to a movieclip (view_mc) that holds an image.
These 2 movieclips are used to rotate and scale the Other movieclip as in the attached picture
I want when the user click and dragg the btn_rotate, btn_scale, the view_mc will be rotated and scaled respectively, in smooth way.
But I can't achieve that.
Here is my code which is wrong:
ActionScript Code:
btn_rotate.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, on_btn_rotate_down);
btn_rotate.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, on_btn_rotate_up);
function on_btn_rotate_down(e:MouseEvent):void

I know it's possible to scale and rotate an object by using some actionscript. Is it also possible to distort an image?
For example; keep the topleft corner and the bottomleft corner of an object at the same position and put the topright and bottomright corner of the same object 25 pixels down.
I am trying to create my Flash Animation to scale to page, as in this example - [URL]
View 1 RepliesI am basically trying to create a display object transformation manager which will allow me to scale/rotate objects. I am currently trying to figure out how to rotate an object so its corner follows the current x and y of the mouse. I always get confused on the math of things like this. I know how to listen for the events and everything, I just am unsure of how to calculate the amount of rotation to apply. I will probably be rotating via a Matrix so I can rotate the object around its center, rather than the upper-left corner of it. My question here is: how do I get values when I don't want them constrained, like scaleX and scaleY?
View 1 RepliesI'm implementing a frame class that builds a graphical frame around children using 9 bitmaps (4 corners and 5 middle pieces).The frame extends sprite, and the 9 frame bitmaps are attached as children. They are repositioned as necessary to encompass any other children on the sprite.
This works fine, normally, but as soon as I rotate or scale the frame, the children split apart, showing what appears to be a one pixel or partial pixel gap between the pieces.
I've tried setting pixelSnapping = PixelSnapping.NEVER on the 9 bitmaps. I've tried turning smoothing=true. The children bitmaps are always positioned at integer x, y's, never fractional. I've tried setting the scale of the children bitmap to 1.01 and PixelSnapping to AUTO. None of it works.
I am learning AS3 and trying to get an object to be able to move / rotate / scale and drag and drop. I found 2 seperate tutorials one does button clicks to move and rotate code.[code]When I add the second lot of code to the first app (ie add a layer and insert the script ) change myPoint to rocket . I get the following errors:'{' expected
View 1 RepliesI've got a MovieClip containing several child clips (images and text). I'm trying to scale this parent clip very slowly - from 102% down to 98% - this works, however the child movie clips are all scaling a bit jerkily - like they're trying to stick to pixels or something. What's the cure for this? The scaling is done by using a motion tween on the timeline by the way. I've tried to tick "Cache Bitmap" but that makes no difference. If I used the 3D motion tween, there is no jerkyness. But I need to publish to flash 9, so can't use that!
View 1 RepliesI have a VLC player streaming my webcam video through RTSP on 5544 port, the video is encapsulated with MPEG-TS and compressed with MPEG-4 for both audio and video (as is VLC's default I suppose)You can access the streaming video with the following URL:[URL] All is working till here.

View 1 RepliesI built a prototype in Adobe Flex, they (customers) liked it. Everything was fine until they later told me that iPads / iOS needs to be supported too.I checked out Adobe's Packager for iPhone. We're evaluating that and we will know if it works out in a couple of days. (We need to get through Apple's red tape and certificates raj so this angle is delayed by a few days!)
There is a growing voice for using HTML5/Canvas as a technology platform itself. And despite being quite proficient in Flex, I think this makes sense.
I'm in need of a HTML5 library that can:
Render "widgets" i.e. containers with forms and components(this should be easy and possible using POHJC - Plain old HTML,JavaScript and CSS )Provide a Tree like control for laying out some data Provide a Canvas where data structures can be represented as basic shapes Provide drag and drop capabilities between Trees, Buttons and Canvas Provide some sort of Tab Navigator container (I guess JQuery works here) Interact with back-end services (JSON/XML calls will be okay, but mapping directly with back-end entities will be awesome!)Renders on latest versions of major browsers, Android OS and iOS (WebKit for mobile?)
I'm ready to give JQuery & JQuery UI a try. I looked at Sencha / ExtJS but it seems we need to maintain two code bases one for normal browsers and the other for mobiles (is that correct?)Single code base, I don't want to suggest to them that multiple code bases for the client need to be maintained. That's a last resort option and would lead to complete ruling out of HTML5 with Flash apps and native apps being developed.Canvas capabilities - I don't want to work with raw canvas and shape tags. This too is a last resort option. Is there any abstraction available?
I want to skew the combo box in flash as2. Is it possible to do so?
View 8 RepliesI'm trying to rotate a symbol while keeping the shape and proportions locked, but even when using Free Transform, my shapes skew (from rectangles to rhombuses to squares).I'd like to keep the lines straight and parallel.Locking the height and width with the link tool doesn't seem to make a difference.Does anyone know how to rotate shapes without the automatic re-proportioning?
View 4 RepliesI would like to know how to set the skew value of a movieclip as -180. If i try to set, it is setting in positive as 180.
View 3 RepliesPlace a 100px by 100px box on the stage (not a movieclip, just a simple shape).
Now apply a vertical skew of 30 degrees. You should get this...
Click outside of the shape to release the transformation data. The degrees for skew resets to 0 (this is expected), see image below
But What skew would you apply to the shape to return it to its original shape. Initially I would've thought it was -30 in the vertical skew, but this seems to return a weird hybrid shape.. See below:
I have an animated logo for a site. I want to rotate the logo, so that the entire animation takes place, so to speak, on its side.
In short, I want to rotate every single frame of the animation in exactly the same way.Basically, if there is some way I can change it so it takes length as width and width as height I am sorted.
I have a simple Flash animation of an object spinning around it's centre with no x, y movement nor scaling.
It plays fine in Flash but when I convert the symbol to a Flex component and instantiate it in mxml, the animation scales up and down as it spins.
im using flash professional cs5.5 Here's my issue: I'm trying to translate my flash site with a .txt (loadvariable)
Here's my code so far:
It loads automatically the english at start so..
Code: Select allloadVariables("english.txt", "_level0");
and then, on button160 I have this
Code: Select allon (release)
{
loadVariables("french.txt", "_level0");

So I can only translate it one time... then I cannot revert back. How do I do it ?
I tried doing:
Code: Select allon (release)

Why is it that when you animate a photograph (especially animating scaleX or scaleY), it looks so crappy? I've tried caching as a bitmap, turning off compression, etc, but not What's the story here?
View 5 RepliesLets make it simple. Lets say I have the stage with a combo box. I will have 100 frames with the combo box tweening from position to another. I easily can do it and see the animation of the combobox over the timeline. But when I create the swf file, the animation doesn't work. This also happens to all the other components. They don't accept any type of animation except if they are embeded in another movie clip.
View 6 RepliesI have a flash file for a website section. I inserted a Loader component component to load a .swf file, and set the "scaleContent" property (in the Component Inspector) to True, but the .swf loads tiny, like a thumbnail. I also set the minimum dimensions (400x300), but this seems to have zero effect. I also have the size of the loader component set to 424x350. I have played with both sets of these numbers to no effect.
Here is where I've uploaded the file for testing: [URL] If you click any 1 of the 4 images, it will load 1 of 4 .swf files within (but very small).
Furthermore...the size of the embedded videos is not always consistent. Sometimes, after re-uploading the main file, Some of the 4 videos will be correctly sized, but if visited more than once, they return to being small. Very weird.
P.S. I have attached a screen capture of the Flash program, showing the component inspector and properties.

If I create an animation in Flash CS5 that is 600 by 400 pixals and I publish the SWF file, on execution it plays fine at that size.
If I maximise the window, the animation stays the same size and I can see the spillage pieces etc, that I do not want to be seen.
how do I set it so that the animation scales when the window is maximised?
I am trying to rotate a symbol on the x axis mulitple times for an animation I am doing. The problem is everytime I try to do a complete rotation, the symbol rotates fine until I hit 180 degrees, but once I go past that mark, the symbol just starts rotating backwards. Is there a certain way I have to do this in order to get a complete rotation in one direction?
