ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Add Portions To The Background?
Mar 28, 2010
I recently learned about scrollRect. Can anyone tell me how efficient it is? by this i mean i have a huge background_mc and use a stage sized rectangle as the scrollRect to scan the insides of that movie Clip. (like a vcam i guess). Since it only renders the rectangle area , is it safe to say it doesn't matter how large "background_mc" is ? or is it better to dynamically add portions to the background when its just outside the stage.

I am quite a way through creating my own game from scratch and i have smacked straight-on, head first into a triple layer brick wall.As it is I have my hitTest code(Below.) which detects a hitTest on the _x and _y positon of my car MC. The code is placed on the background, however, as the car mc is large it overlaps the wall when they are driving, until the _x and/or _y position are colliding.So, basically, I need it so it goes off the hitTest of my actual picture rather than the _x/_y postions,My code(partial) at the moment;
Code:
.....
x = Math.sin(_root.car.dude._rotation*(Math.PI/180))*_root.speed;
y = Math.cos(_root.car.dude._rotation*(Math.PI/180))*_root.speed*-1;[code]....

I'm considering taking on a new project for myself - nothing particularly major - but I've a few questions that I'm certain anyone with some serious experience with Flash might be able to answer for me or perhaps (hopefully) guide me in the right direction for alternatives.
So I have an idea for a horizontal menu that I want to design using Flash (I've only experience with AS3 - odd as that is? - so that'll be how it'll be designed). As I'm coming to understand it's difficult/impossible to have the embedded flash interact with other portions of the HTML, so for every time that a menu item is clicked, is the only way to go about moving to that page just having the entire page effected - ie each page (home, port, etc) has to also include the embedded flash as well, or can I just have it affect some subwindow or section of the page, instead?

I'm noticing that my embedded font is not properly displaying when I browse to certain portions of my site with my other office pc's. The "about me" section of [URL] in particular. What's confusing is that the other portions of the site do display the font properly!?! I've uploaded the original .fla file to the server for anyone that's really interested in helping. It can be downloaded at [URL]

I'm not a Flash developer, but I'm working on a Flash advertising issue where a Flash ad (movie/SWF file) is sometimes having portions of its animation panels or timeline (specifically some text copy) getting stuck and then they stack/layer/overlap on top of each other at the end of the final frame of animation.We were able to reproduce this only sporadically in IE7 but someone else reported the issue using IE8.A screenshot of the portions that are overlapping is pasted further below.The "Dr. Ted Lawrence" and "A pioneer in tumor radiation therapy." text copy portions are sometimes getting stuck and are sometimes overlapping onto the final frame of the animation.
URL to the Flash SWF movie file:
http://s0.2mdn.net/1608548/umhs11_specialty_cancertreatment_728x90.swf
(AS2, published as Flash 8)
I do not have the .FLA file.Would that be needed to troubleshoot this issue further?I know I'm probably not using the correct terms exactly, etc,

I'm having a slight problem with loading backgrounds dynamically. When the index page loads i need one bg.swf to load dynamically, but when the user clicks another background button, a new background will replace the default bg.swf that loaded automatically when the page opened. I understand to load the new bg's into an empty clip. I just need to know how to automatically load a .swf once the page opens. Pretty basic,

I want to load a big background-picture into my Flash, and then I want it to be resized so it fits the screen-resolution that the user has on his/her browser.[url]...
it loads perfectly, and - from what I can see - keeps it's dimensions.but it does not resize to the size of the browser as it should....if you go to the link, and then manually resize the browser-window, you'll get the resizing of the background-picture going on, though.[code]...

I have two backgrounds on different layers, and an object that can be dragged around. What I want to happen is that an area around the object should be transparent so you can see the background behind the first background, and when the object is moved, the transparent area should also move. Kind of like a "see-through" effect.

I'm having issues changing a TextInput background color after the initial onLoad using AS2. On load, I have no issues setting the background color with this code:
Code:onClipEvent (load) { this.background = true; this.backgroundColor = 0x1E1C1C;}
However, I have a form validator run when focus is lost but yet I cannot set the background color at that point. For example, I'm trying to set the background color to orange and text to white if the field's contents are invalid. Even something simple like this doesn't affect the colors.

It seems like there are various hacks out there to change the background colour of the row of a datagrid but all of them seem to happen at render time.See: http:[url]....I have a datagrid where I need to change row colours to red then back to normal frequently based on changes to the bound ArrayCollection. So I'm looking for a way to change the row colours dynamically.Obviously as the changes are happening frequently it would be nice if changing the background colour of the row wasn't an expensive process.

OK here what I'm envisioning and keep in mind ive only just started playing with flash so I really am a total novice at this point: I want to have two buttons which load different jpegs which are pretty large (about 5000 width x 600 height) to animate as the page background. so in my BG layer for the main timeline i added a container movie clip (5000x600 also) and in the container movie clip's timeline i have it classic tweening across the stage back and forth. then on the main timeline i have my two buttons which are supposed to load the backgrounds. the thing that seems to be messing it all up is the fact that i call "stop();" in my action script to stop on my 3rd frame of the main timeline after the preloader etc. in my testing i added yet another movie clip that animates and it keeps animating when i cal stop(); but the background image is not animating any more.

I've designed a Flash site in CS3 using Action Script 2.0 that has a main flash movie sorta floating in space over a gradient background. I want the gradient background to re-size with the browser, so I thought that the easiest way to do this would be to delete the gradient background in Flash and instead recreate the background in Dreamweaver using the repeat background option and then make the Flash movie's background transparent. (I hope I'm making some amount of sense here).
I've found a few tutorials on how to do this, but so far I just get a white background instead of transparent. I've tried choosing "Transparent - Windowless" under Window Mode on the HTML tab in Publish Settings. And I've tried selecting the movie from within DW and clicking the parameter button and adding a "wmode" parameter with "transparent" as its value.

trying to print a movieclip with a white backgroundwhile keeping the stage background black.The movieclip,printResults_mc has a white rectangle in the bottom layer, 850pixels x 1100 pixels. The following function scales printResults_mcto the printers printable area but because isimpossible to predict the aspect ratio of the printable area someblack background always leaks out. I tried making the whitebackground 20 pixels larger than I need (870 x 1120) and thensetting a crop rectangle in addPage of (10,10,850,1100), no luck,the black stage background just fills in the area outside the crop.A simple solution would be to temporarily set the stage backgroundcolor property to white, print, then set it back to black, but I

I have converted a large background image (much larger than the stage) into a Movie Clip. I did this so I can make it scroll as the player traverses to the edge of the scene.This appears to make the player free to roam the entire background image.I have a tree symbol with a class attached to it that blocks player movement.Here is my problem:
When I drag and drop instances of the tree symbol onto the background, the trees are stationary and do not scroll with the background.I do not want to have to implement code to make the trees scroll when the background does.I was wondering if there was a way to simply attach the trees to the background so that if the background moves, the trees move with it and appear to be part of the background as if they were drawn into it.It is convenient for me to be able to drag and drop as many trees as i need to block certain routes on the background from the player.I tried writing code to make the trees move but it was only working for the very last tree that I added to the scene.

I really don't know much about flash or swf files but in updating my portfolio I came across Polaroid gallery. I have managed to update the background jpeg with my own picture and remove the fade effect. However in the original program the background was tileable so when seen in a full screen browser looked fine. As my picture is not tileable I would like to know if it is possible to scale the background or the whole swf object without tiling the background.

I am relatively new to Flash CS3 and i have been learning Action-script 3 over the past week. I have come quite a long way and i have made a site in flash but i just have a question.I have been using an image as my background and i am happy with the way flash automatically scales all the objects in my file but the background image does not scale. Is there a way to do this? I have found out things online which show me how to add auto-resizing to the background but this knocks off the flash auto scaling/resizing for everything else.
