Indeed, i would like to inrease the RGB values of my radial gradient of my shape every 1 or 3 frames. I did it manually, but its very long. So i would like to know if anyone can help me to make it with code, it's will be most efficient and fast. I've already created my shape with a radial gradient. Now i would like just to increase the RGB values of my radial gradient.[code]
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create spinning rays in actionscript to use in my website.Below is the rough idea of what i'm trying to create.Is it possible to create absolutely with 0 images.Following is the actionscript code in which i couldn't figure out how to add gradient, transperant background and little radial gradient to create glow effect.
Code:
function CreateRays():Shape {
var ray:Shape = new Shape();
ray.graphics.beginFill(0xFF9900,.5);
ray.graphics.lineStyle(1,0xFF9900,.5);
[code]....
If you paste above code in 1st frame of your scene with nothing on your scene, it will give you sweet rotating rays!
So it has been posed to me to create a Radial Gradient Blur on a still frame of a video. I wanted to ask the community how they would go about doing this after posing my own solution.
Here is the concept solution to me:
1. Create a bitmap from the still frame
2. Create a gradient filled shape with alpha from 0-100, center out.
3. Apply a blur filter to the bitmap made from the video still
4. Set the bitmaps mask to the gradient filled shape
5. Position and overlay the newly created/masked image over the video itself to generate the gradient blur effect.
EDIT: Here is a link to a good example for what I am trying to achieve. I know it can be done.
I have a graphic symbol of a circle that has a radial gradient fill of yellow to red. All I want to do is have it change from yellow to red to red to yellow. I tried the advanced color settings but that doesnt quite do what I want. With the color settings.. it changes the complete tint of the object. I want it to look like it is tweening the gradient not the object. So if the object had a yellow center with a red outer edge I want it to chenge to a red center with a yellow outer edge. How do I accomplish this?
View 1 RepliesI've been trying to learn just now how to dynamically create a radial gradient in a circle. All the pages that I can find use the command 'beginGradientFill', but when I use it I get the following messages:
Warning: 1060: Migration issue: The method beginGradientFill is no longer supported. For more information, see the Graphics class..
and
TypeError: Error #1006: beginGradientFill is not a function.
Unfortunately I can't seem to find the replacement, or any other pages that describe an alternative to that function. What is the way to do a radial gradient now?

View 1 RepliesI use the following code to change the color of a gradient logo:
var myColor:Color = new Color(logo_mc);
myColor.setTransform({ra:100, rb:0, ga:100, gb:0, ba:100, bb:0});
Playing around with Fireworks, however, I found out that if I were to increase HUE from 0 to 121 the logo would look much better. how to modify the object {ra:100, rb:0, ga:100, gb:0, ba:100, bb:0} to reflect a HUE increase of 121 points?

I want my movie to start out with a line which is 1 pixel long. Then I want to increase it to 500 pixels in 36 frames. I can do this without actionscript by just going down 36 frames and increasing the line then creating a motion tween, but I would like to see this done in actionscript
View 5 RepliesI have a question about shapes (i mean the flash.display.Shape class). Is it possible to import Shapes directly from the library as Shapes and not as Sprites/MovieClips? Shapes are supposed to be faster than MovieClips/Sprites, right? So why is it only possible to import MCs/Sprites from the library? I understand that generally shapes could be created solely by actionscript, but in my case the shape comprises of many points and is curved - so it's quite infeasible.
Is there maybe some sort of plugin to generate code that would draw the desired shape from a drawn shape in CS4? And a last one: Are there any benchmarks out there for performance comparison between sprites/mcs/shapes? How much performance do i loose by using a sprite instead of a shape?
my first time trying to draw a multi-color gradient in actionscript 3. So I got this code from the help docs, but I can't seem to get a vertical gradient, whatever formula or number I use for rotate, it stays stuck on the default horizontal gradient :(

How can I increase the _height property of a window without increase the height of the title and the bar at the top of the window ?
I want only to increase the part of the window where I put textFields and buttons.
Say i have a UI with check boxes, text fields etc on 1 frame, and again a different layout on another. If i type values into boxes and click radio and check boxes. is there a way to keep these values on there when i flick to another frame then back again?

View 2 RepliesI have a circle mask over a photo. I'm trying to get it so the edges fade out to black. Currently, it just is a solid white circle. It's a movie clip and has a radial blur and is motion tweened. The alpha channel on the radial blur is 100% on the first point and 0% on the last. Can a spotlight with radial blur/fade be done without adding code or actionscript?

I'm coding a game where I have a skill that has around 2 minutes of cooldown, so I'd like to have a neat cooldown animation like the one in World of Warcraft. But instead of getting an artist to draw one, and me having to put it on A LOT of frames, I was wondering, how it can be done by using AS3? The cooldown is a square kinda like rotating to a full shape.

View 8 RepliesI need to make a radial animation tween like a pie chart. I want it to start as a full pie and as the animation plays the pie gets smaller. It seems simple but I think I have to use actionscript to accomplish. Though I have no idea of how? I guess it has to do with a lot of math and using the actionscript drawing api.

I want to create a preloader that plays a certain amount of frames as it loads the rest of the frames. So, I have labels on the frames basically and need a preloader to play the "loading" frames as it is loading the "content" frames. Does that make sense? I have no idea how to even start this one... p.s. I am using AS 2.0, but if it can be done in 3.0 easier, I can switch over its no biggie
View 4 Repliesthere seems to be no accepted method of playing multiple flv using buttons. My latest attempt has me putting multiple instances of the flvPlayback component in different frames and using buttons to navigate to those frames. It works but nothing anyone has posted anywhere will result in removing the flv when you go to a different frame and instance. This was simple in AS2. Load movie to a traget and each time you load a new movie the other one goes away. REALLY goes away.

I have to place the incrementCount(): function every 12 frames so that it increments the values. Seems like it would be easier to simply modify the script to count "every 12 frames" but I can't find anything that tells me how to "count frames" in flash. Seems to be this is probably basic but I've searched unsuccessfully....so how do you do this. How do I get my script to work so it's frame based so I don't have to put incrementCount() every 12 frames?
Is it possible to have an movieclip of about 50 frames and navigate between these 50 frames? As if u put a marker on frame 10 and one at frame 30 and if u use a button it plays to frame 10 and stops and use another button to go from frame 10 to frame 30 and stop... and reverse if u use the earlier button.
