I am using TweenMax to animate a PNG with some transparency. With TweenMax, I add a tint to the animation.
When the tint is applied, it obviously only tints the non-transparent part of the bitmap.
Is there any way to force the tint to cover the entire image, including the transparency?
I have imported an image into Flash, turned it into a symbol, inserted a frame, then a tween, and can animate the image with tint. It works fine, but the tint is applied to the entire image. What I was hoping to do, is have a sort of 'rolling tint', where the tint starts on the left side of the image, and gradually works it's way over to the right.
View 5 RepliesI have a white stage and my background is non-solid/non-uniform. My flash project will be my whole website, therefore when a browser window is larger than my stage, the stage color (white) shows in the background. Its basically a white border on the left and right. I wish I could continue my background image to cover the whole browser window. What I want to do is: if needed (if the browser window is larger than my stage) continue my background on both sides by taking a copy of my background image, flipping it horizontally, and placing it on both sides of my background. If you can imagine it, this will give a more uniform continuation of the background. I'm guessing actionscript would be the best bet?
View 2 RepliesI'm struggling with something that is supposed to be so simple! I would like to add an image to an input text box. I have a guestbook where the visitors can leave their comments. Under the message box I have a line of different smilies. The user types in the text and clicks one smiley to insert it into the box. I'm doing it like this:
sm_01.onRelease = function() {
mcData.txtComment.htmlText += "<img src="images/sm_01.jpg">";
}
The smiley appeares but it breaks the line and the subsequent text will be placed before the smiley and not after it as it would be normal. If I'm inserting text on mouse release instead of the image everything seems fine.
What's the best way to bring in an image with transparency in Flash CS4?I have a logo in Photoshop that looks great on a black background. But when I bring it in as a GIF or PNG in Flash, the edges get really jagged.Is there a preferred way to import this so the edges are smooth?

View 1 RepliesIm quite new to the ActionScript scene so apologies if thisquestion has already been answered elsewhere. I am creating a 2dshooting game, and Im loading multiple images of various enemiesfrom several jpg files, but when I display these on screen heimages have a big black square round them. Now when I amprogramming in another language such as OpenGL, if I wanted to getrid of this I would enable an alpha blending function and set 100%transparency for the black colour which I want to hide. So I loadthe jpeg file and store it in a BitmapData variable, and then Icopy this into a new BitmapData variable with transparency enabledand set to 0x00000000 (fully transparent black). I thought thiswould solve my problem butt no joy. My code is shown below:public class GraphicsLoader extends Sprite {
public var loader:Loader; // The bitmap loader
public var bmp1:Bitmap;
public function GraphicsLoader(path:String)

I've tried to export my vector work from Flash to Illustrator. The result is bad : colors have faded and transparent colors became opaque. It is a shame that Flash doesn't provide a correct export function to
Illustrator now that Flash and Illustrator are both Adobe's softwares.
Here is my code:
var menu = new Menu ();
menu.x = 0;
menu.y = 0;[code]...........
This works, but transparency varies for each element MovieClip separately, but I would like that would have changed the whole MovieClip transparency as a single image.
Menu(); is generated from XML.
When I load an image into a dynamic textfield using the img tag, the text flows around that image. Which is ok for me. The text wraps to the right of the left aligned image. But is there some trick to only have it wrap about halve of the images height? So halfway down I would like to be able to force the rest of the text to continue below the image. Is there some trick to that? Or could/should I only add some break tags until the text is below the image?

Here's some code I created as an answer to another question. It pulls a library item out of the library and puts it on stage programmatically. No big deal, except that in order to get the image displayed on the screen to actually update, I had to removeChild() and then addChild() it back. Is there another way to force the screen to redraw?
[Code]....
Note that in this example, this code is on frame 1 of the timeline. It _feels_ like imageClip is not a direct reference to the thing that's actually on the display list. However, when I modified my code to replace the reference to the AS variable imageClip with a more direct reference to the element on the stage (imageClip = getChildAt(1)), that made no difference either.

I have this world map (.swf file) that I want on my home page(black background). It's up and working fine, but it flashes a white blank map for about 2 seconds when it first loads and then it goes away. It looks very ugly on a black background and gives off a sense of "cheapness". Anyway, it has got to go. I purchased the world map and they don't offer access to the original .fla file. So basically I want to know how to cover up the first few seconds of the video with black and then have the black cover disappear and let the flash file do its thing.

View 2 RepliesSomething that is similar to the Cover Flow in iTunes.
I can use Adobe Flash, Flex, or pure html/javascript.
HOWEVER, I need a pointed to production ready code. I've looked at plenty of examples in both Flex and HTML that aren't ready for prime time. No demo code needed.
Here's my requirements for production ready:
1) Memory leaks are under control.
2) Works like a river with larger data sets, paging in sub-sets in some set number. The component/code needs to be able to handle 100+ items to flow through, preferable up to 500.
i know this can be done by changing wmode to "transparent or opaque". But is there any way to show the div over the flash file using wmode "gpu" ..
View 1 RepliesI want to show a full 24 hours along the datetimeaxis wherever the values fed into it happen to fall. I thought that setting the minimum and maximum of a datetime axis on the chart would have that effect.
so I have private function loadDayComplete():void{ //called when data is reloaded. also includes reassigning the dataprovider of the chart.

When I load up the function though it doesn't plot any points when the min and max are set. If I take out the minimum and maximum they show up fine! I double checked in debug mode that the minChartDate and maxChartDate are what they should be.. but maybe I'm misunderstanding how minimum and maximum are supposed to function... I also tried widening the min/max to include several days and still no luck. I also tried assigning the min/max when the chart data changes like so:
I have created a Carousel with CoverFlow where images are imported from Flickr. Now I would like to import images from an XML file so I replaced the relevant code with code from a past project that consisted of designing a Papervision 3D Carousel. The problem is that my CoverFlow Carousel consisted of a Cover with Bitmap images while my Papervision 3D Carousel consists of a plane that loads/saves images through BitmapFileMaterial. Flash does not seem to accept that I insert a BitmapFileMaterial into a cover.
It gives me error 1067 (translated from German to): Implicit change of a value of type org.papervision3d.materials:BitmapFileMaterial into an unrelated type flash.displayisplayObject. In my code below I commented next to the function that causes the problem.

I'm having a bit of a problem with - what I assume to be - a masking issue. Apparently I can't post images. This may hinder my ability to explain the problem. Oh well, I'll try to make do with just words.
I have four "ground" sprites, each one shorter than the last, that are layered on top of each other. References to them are stored in an array groundLayers[], for easy reference. When a new [not ground] sprite is created - it's given a number which tells it which layers it is between. Herein lies the problem: how do I conceal the new sprites properly?
Without doing anything, they wind up all in front, not layered. My initial solution was to just change their indexes with setChildIndex(), but this proved to be disastrous when I tried to add mouseEvents to the objects. I tried to set the objects' masks to these objects, but that didn't seem to work. I also created separate layers which just contained the "sky" parts of each ground layer and setting the object masks to shoe sky layers, but that didn't work, either.
I am playing a video and created a button which displays video area in fullscreen but video doesn't cover whole screen area, there are blanks left and right of the video. I searched a bit and every flash player i found with full screen option in fact resizes the video the same way, it just doesn't cover whole area. Why is that? Can video in full screen mode be resized to cover whole screen area without those blanks at sides?
View 6 RepliesI'm making a flash game for practice and I have my stage set up so there are 9 boxes. When the game is started, one of the boxes is randomized as the one with the start underneath, if you pick the box with the star underneath, you win.
The randomizing code is
var star = 1 + Math.Round(Math.Random()*8.0)//generate a number between 1 and 9
What i dont know is how to attach this code so that it assigns the star to one of my 9 boxes made as buttons. How can I hide the star underneath the box as a cover.
I want to make a MC called bgFade cover a percentage of the flash movie. So the MC starts at the bottom and covers 80% of the vertical space of the Flash movie. So theres 20% at the top that isn't covered. At the moment i have:
ActionScript Code:
bgFade._y = Stage.height;
bgFade._x = 0;
bgFade._width = Stage.width;
...Which places the MC at the botton of the movie, and makes it fill all the horizontal space. So what can i add to that to make it fill 80% vertically?
I've got 4 button images that drop in when the movie starts, and when you click on an image it loads in an XML image flow. Problem is, when I click the "go back" button, it goes to frame 2 to start over, but the XML gallery/image-flow won't leave the stage.
