When I put some clips on different part of the scene, and modfify their rotationY I would like see them with the local global point of view. Unfortunately, if one clip on the left of scene and another on the right, the 2 clips won't have the same view. How to do to see them similar?

View 7 RepliesI am trying to deactivate Flash CS3 on my laptop so that I can install and use it it on my desktop machine. All I can find on this subject is the instruction to select "deactivate" from the "help" menu - but the help menu in my version of Flash CS3 doesn'tcontain this option. Is there another way to deactivate Flash?
The options in my menu are as follows:
- Flash Help
- Help Resources Online
- Whats new in Flash CS3
- Flash exchange
- Manage Extensions...

I have a copy of Adobe Flash CS3 Professional installed on my work desktop. I'm soon going offsite for a couple of months during which period I'd be using my work laptop instead. My laptop does not have Flash CS3 on it, so I was hoping of transferring the license to the laptop. I read somewhere that I need to deactivate the license on my desktop (using Help >> Deactivate license) before uninstalling it. Unfortunately, I don't see that option in the Help menu at all.
View 3 RepliesI'm looking for an event that tells me when the browser is refreshed, or better to say, when my flash app exits. So I tried
stage.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, onDeactivate);
but its only triggered when closing the debug window and not on refreshing or closing the browser.
I want to temporarily deactivate some movieclips that are used as buttons. Currently I don't keep track of the EventListeners that got added to these buttons. I want to be able to deactivate and reactivate them later.
myMc.mouseEnabled=false;
works, but then they are still select- and clickable using the TAB key on the keyboard.
I have a menu of 10 items. I want that the selected item be highlighted. So i have a function "highlight item", called by the item listener on MOUSE_UP event.
myItem.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, selectedOn);
how can I deactivate the previous highlighted items in the menu ?

View 1 RepliesI have a CS3 scrollpane component with a movieclip loaded into it that the user can scroll up and down and side to side. In the movieclip I have a PNG and a drawing function that essentially lets the user drag and draw a yellow highlight box on the PNG. So onMouseDown the drawing function starts, onMouseMove the box size is set based on where the user puts the cursor and onMouseUp the box is actually drawn.
My problem is that if the user clicks on the scroll pane dragger bars (for lack of a better term) it draws a box where they clicked and dragged the scroll bar. how I could disable the onMouseDown if the user is interacting with the scrollpane?
I have tried setting X&Y conditions, but if they only work if the user is at the bottom right corner of the image. I also tried making an invisible button that would change a variable on rollOver and rollOut but that messed up my scrollpane somehow.
here is my drawing code if that helps at all:
PHP Code:
//
var myClipNames:Array = ["mc0", "mc1", "mc2", "mc3", "mc4", "mc5", "mc6", "mc10", "mc11", "mc12", "mc13", "mc14", "mc15"];

I have a series of movieclips and when each one is clicked it calls a function e.g
movieclip1.onrelease = function(){

Is it possible to deactivate each one for 5 seconds when it is clicked, then reactivate it after 5 seconds using a timer or something?
For Flash websites that have background music or videos with audio, an essential piece of code I add is the DEACTIVATE and ACTIVATE event listeners...
ActionScript Code:
addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE,fadeOutSound);
addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE,fadeInSound);
These event listeners receive a message from the browser whenever the user opens another window or a program. And at that point I fade out the sounds and pause the videos. It prevents my site from making annoying noises in the background while the user is doing other things.
One limitation of ACTIVATE and DEACTIVATE is that every browser handles them differently. Worst of all, Google Chrome doesn't seem to handle them at all. I am wondering if there is something in my HTML or Javascript that I can do to make them work in Google Chrome. I can't seem to find anything on the subject.
For an example of these events in action, you can check out my personal website. URL]
If you leave my page, the music will fade out. It will fade in when you come back.
Note: You do have to click on the Flash first before you leave the window, or it won't work.
What I am looking to do is:
1. Click a button to activate (mcButton).
2. Only be able to "dot" when its over a certain area(mcCanvas).
3. When you click on the area (mcCanvas), then it places new instances of the dots(mcDots) on the canvas where your pointer is. (new instances on every click)
4. Click the button (mcButton) again to deactivate.
I am first trying to create the action with out needing the area (mcCanvas). This is what I have so far:
Code:
startDots = new Object();
startDots.onPress = function() {
var d:Number = this._parent.getNextHighestDepth();
var dup:MovieClip = mcDots.duplicateMovieClip("dup_"+d, d);
attachMovie.dup();

I am working on a portal which is built in flex. I wanted to perform some action based on my applications is in focus or out of focus. So I tried to use two Events for this purpose Event.Activate and Event.Deactivate inside my flex code.
These events fire perfectly in FF 3.0 and above, Safari, Chrome and these events get triggered till IE 7.
But when I switch to IE 8 and above versions with latest flash player plugin 10,2,152,26 the Event.deactivate is not firing, and I am not able to detect whether my Flex application is out of focus.
I tried doing some research around this issue both using Flex Events and Javascript approach using window.onfocusin and window.onfocusout, but still no luck in IE 8 and higher versions with latest Flash plugin 10,2,152,26.
As we have a large number of users viewing this portal in IE 8 with latest flash plugin.
The code is simple and I have pasted below:
package {
import flash.display.*;

I'm trying to set a common task, wich is activate/desactivate interactivity (clickability) of a button. (sometimes clickable, sometimes not). The button is a blue bowl. I use the stopPropagation() of event metod to stop propagation, then my blue bowl is not clickable anymore. (if you erase "stopPropagation()", it becomes clickable) It works.
But I want to change this statut. I've designed a ON/OFF switcher, who set the blue bowl clickability ON/OFF. And it doesn't work. I've tried everything : removeEventListener, an "if" who write "stopPropagation()" or not, but it fails, it stay on the beggining statut. Here's the very simple .fla to show you : [URL] What should be my "ON/OFF switcher" code ?
I have found that events Events.ACTIVATE and Events.DEACTIVATE do not fire in the browser when wmode = transparent or when wmode = opaque. This is found when the swf is published with or without fullscreen mode capability.However, the events do fire:In the standalone player, such as opening the publised swf locally ( not using a browser ) In the browser when wmode = window
My Goal:Is to detect Events.ACTIVATE and Events.DEACTIVATE with a swf that has been published with fullscreen capability, where the wmode = opaque. ( I have found that when in fullscreen and wmode = window, mouse interactivity events, such as clicks, do not fire. Mouse interactivity is something I need, which I get with wmode = transparent or opaque. )
FYI:I have found that when wmode = window, the DEACTIVATE event fires both when entering and leaving fullscreen mode. The event ACTIVATE does not fire when entering fullscreen mode or when returning to the browser from fullscreen ( user presses Escape, etc ). In the event the user switched to a different window, the DEACTIVATE event fires. When the user returns to the browser, the ACTIVATE fires in IE but does not fire in Firefox until the user clicks in the swf
Setup:
Flash CS4
Using the Flash published HTML ( wmode = transparent / opaque )
Firefox 3.6.6 ( Windows XP Pro )
IE 8.0.60 ( Windows XP Pro )
navigation center left, the grey boxes.click it and the content area will flip 180.how is it possible to do such FX?is there any general methods to use perspective in flash?
- with bitmaps
- with MCs
I would like to have a MovieClip that has a bit of depth. I can't use rotationX, rotationY or rotationZ because I have to use Flash CS3. The first image is what I have now, a flat movieclip. The second is what I should have.
I already tried using a matrix, but that didn't work. I posed a question about it, and there somebody sugested that I should use a 3D engine to get the result I want.

is there any way of creating the same perspective motion in AS as i've done in the below attachment using tweens?
View 4 RepliesI've tried in vein to understand displacement maps; I can find nothing on "The Internet" that teaches me what I need to learn. Now I'm looking to all you smart-types to solve my problem for me! All I want to is take an image (a rectangle) and make it look like it's going off into the distance (trapezoid-like), getting smaller from left to right. This doesn't even need to animate, I just need two states: straight-on and trapezoid-like -- think iTunes album art browser minus the bells & whistles. I know this can be accomplished with a displacement map, but I know not how to get 'er done.
View 7 Repliesso I have some buttons that, as of right now, simply trigger the scene to move on while at the same time killing some particle effect animations I have spawning when the animation is idle. What I now need to do is make these events move on to a specific scene AFTER the rest of the scene's animation has played out (about 400 more frames) I'm figuring that the gotoAndPlay command has to be tied to some sort of timer variable that I would have to figure out based on my fps. Or maybe there is a way to set up a timer directly tied to a certain amount of frames allowed to go by. I'm pretty noob at actionscript, so keep that in mind. Here is the script at the point where the animation pauses to await user input on the buttons:
