I have wrtitten some code that draws a couple of lines with changing alpha and width whenever the mouse is moved. I need to convert this code to AS3 so that I can use it in conjunction with some video tracking.
Code:
var speed:Number = 100;
var myNumber:Number;
var myMax:Number = 50;[code]...
I am drawing a flash sprite on a BitmapData using its draw() method. This sprite has some nested objects with 0 alpha, yet the draw() method draws them on the bitmap data.
I think it has to do with the color transform I am using, but I have no idea how to change it to achieve the effect I want.
The color transform is the following:
Code:
new ColorTransform(1, 1, 1, 1, 255, 255, 255, 255);
I am using these values in order for the Bitmap to have white pixels wherever the object was, and black where there is nothing. The draw() also draws my alpha = 0 objects in white as well.
Code:
//p is movieClip
var p:pic = new pic;
var bmpData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(p.width, p.height);
[Code].....
when I compile, flash draws only half of the width of my picture, can any 1 tell me why? my fla file is bigger than 500KB so I can't attach ;(
I have a very simple piece of code but it has one very annoying bug. When I press the button a second time, the code doesn't work. The only way to get the code to work is by moving the mouse a tiny bit, or moving the mouse off the button and back on. make a button that can be clicked many times without moving the mouse?
Code:

I am having a nightmare getting text to display as the font and size I select?I select text tool, I click on MC and start typing, it displays correcly in edit mode.I change the size of the text box (not via transform) and move the text box to where I want the text to display.However, when the application is published the font is showing as though it has been bolded or made a different size.It is not the font size and format I created it in.I have ensured I have no "anti-alias Bitmap" selected, but it's behaving as though it has "animation anti-alias" applied?
View 6 RepliesI've got a horizontal bar on the screen following the mouse vertical motion. I would like for it to be transparent until the mouse moves, and then fade in to be 100% on mouse movement. When the mouse stops moving, I would like it to fade back to be 0% transparent after a couple of seconds. This what I have for the mouse follow on the bar MC...

Im using the code bellow to draw a line:
Code:
createEmptyMovieClip("line",1);
line.lineStyle(2,0xFFFFFF,100);
line.moveTo(0,0);
line.lineTo(100,100);
How can I make the line to tween, from alpha 0 to 100 using AS2? I Tried TweenMax on "line" movieclip but it does not work.
I want to dynamically create and put some Image (mx.controls.Image) objects on a Canvas and I want them then to be able to be repositioned by the user via the mouse. Can this be done? Note, I am not looking for drag and drop. I just want to change the X and Y coordinates of Images with the mouse.
View 3 RepliesIs there any way to detect when the mouse has moved upwards or downwards?
I currently have a mouse listener with an onMouseMove function that uses the _ymouse to detect any movement within a restricted distance.
But I want the mouse to detect up and down movements in any distance.
Is it possible to persist the look of a 'hovered' hyperlink even after the mouse has moved away from it? I want to keep the user's attention on the hyperlink -- or at least have them able to see what it was, standing out from the rest of the text -- for a few seconds after they've left it. Ideally it would fade slowly back to normal
View 1 RepliesI have a simple flight simulator animation. When the mouse is moved over a movieclip (mcHitArea) on the stage the code below moves 2 indicator lines as well as 2 jet images and the background. The problem is that when the mouse runs off, say, the left side of mcHitArea, that mouse location is recorded. Then if the mouse is brought back in from the other side of mcHitArea the images are rotated way off course. These images never come back to center.

I'm basically looking to create a screensaver within the flash file i'm using. So if the person doesn't move the mouse for say a minute, actionscript will detect this and play a movie ( screensaver type one )It's within a digital application and the client wants a built in one rather than making a proper one.

I would like to make a portion of a site that is stimulated from the mouse being moved. So, as the user moves their mouse I want the timeline to change (for an image will load on each new timeline). So, it will be kind of like a flip book that is activated by the mouse moving. Hopefully that makes sense. Each scene a person will be moving (new picture in a new frame) as the mouse moves up or down.

Pretty much said it in the title. I have drawn a cartoon in flash (cs4) and because of zooming in and out my lines are different widths (thicknesses?)
Is there any way I can select the entire image (just lines) and somehow "uniform" them?
I'm trying to create a tab system on my website. I have a small 25 pixel tall swf file at the top of the page that acts as the tabs. It uses PHP to communicate with the rest of the site. I have a larger swf below that acts as a directory to my files. When the user finds a file, he or she can open it in a new tab by clicking a certain button. And then switch between tabs using the top swf. I've got all of this down using AS3, but I'm not as good at the basic web design elements. How do I communicate to have every lower layer except for the one that the viewer wants to look at go to 0% alpha? Also, I cannot just have the tab system be all in one swf because some of the files that I want the user to open will be in AS2, which won't run inside an AS3 host.

In an MC, I want it to become invisible when the mouse hovers over it. The reason I'm putting this code inside the MC and not making an instance out of it is because this MC will recur numerous times. The listener does work, as tested with trace(). For whatever reason, alpha doesn't.
I have been checking out the following tutorial:on how to adjust the volume with a slider.it's great!what I'd like to do is use that same slider to adjust the alphaof a movie clip.is that possible?or maybe adjust the alpha of a symbol.what i'm trying to do is create "mood lighting"where the user can move a slider and lighten or darken an interiorspace, by adjusting the alpha of a dark square on top of the scene.

The alpha is going down.I think, because the text isnt there. What i'm having trouble with is getting it to go back and forth. Increasing and decreasing the alpha when it gets to it's maximum or minimum. I hope I'm making some sense.Does anyone have any ideas? And no I cannot do this with a simple motion tween because there are things happening in the background.
I'm blitting a map onto the screen with tiles.. and the source of these tiles are BitmapData objects.I know you can change the alpha of a bitmap.. but I'm not too sure if it can be done on the BitmapData object itself.I want some tiles to have less alpha than others. Applying the alpha to the Bitmap.. makes everything on the current screen have an alpha.. but I only need one tile of it..

I am changing colors of an mc dynamically, in this way: I have an mc of the color green for example. What I want is it to turn to a specific color in time. I have in that mc a sprite, that is that specific color (red in this case). iIset it's alpha to 0 and put it in the layer above the green part. Now when I set its alpha to 1, it will be that colour. When I set it to 0.5 ofcourse it'll be a mix between those colours. Is it faster to do it, but changing 0xFFFFFF? I wouldn't know how to do it though. i want to be able to tell it to go 3/4 of color nr 1 and 1/4 of color nr 2, for example. i also want to be able to choose those colours specificly, for the sake of art. so just choosing 0xFF0000 for red, wont do, for artistic reasons.
View 3 RepliesThe thing should work like this: theres a movie clip in frame 10 of the timeline with two buttons inside, by clicking one of them the movie should jump to frame 15 and take the alpha of two Mc there (they are inside a different movie clip) to 0.

on (release) {
McScene2.lettuce._alpha = 0;

i really can't belive i'm asking this, but i've been about an hour trying to look after a solution for this but I couldnt find nothing. i'm trying to change a movieclip's alpha when the swf loads and when I press an existing button. the problem is that that movieclip is inside a button and as3 has a problem with it.

View 1 RepliesI know how to change the alpha of one movie clip at a time on rollover, rollout, and release. But I'm a bit stuck trying to figure out how I would change the alpha of multiple movie clips, when one is clicked. It's for a simple photo gallery and I want all the thumbnails to darken once one has been clicked & the image is loading. I can't just fake it by having a somewhat transparent black movie clip appear over everything, because I need the alpha of each thumbnail to be able to change again once people roll over a new thumbnail.(a section of my code is included for reference but there are like 30 thumbnails so I didn't include it all, the code is the same for everything)
Code:
thumb_001.onRollOver = over;
thumb_001.onPress = down;
thumb_001.onRollOut = out;
thumb_001.onRelease () {

i have this little display and when you click on certain items their alpha changes to 0.1, this worked fine until i added another frame with a different display on another frame. so now when you change frames and go to the new display then go back to the old display on frame 1 the alpha properties are all reset back to 1. So to fix this i thought i could simply add all the movieclips with an alpha less than one to an array when i left the frame then when you come back to the frame you could reset all the moviclips in that array back to having an alpha of 0.1. But this doesnt seem to work. here is the code i used.[code]But this code doesnt seem to work, the strange thing is even when i add some trace statements they tell me that the alpha does in fact equal 0.1 but visibally they haven't changed.
