I am trying to make the stage background color transparent.I am working with breeze, and I want to import a .swf into the powerpoint. However, I don't want to interrupt the powerpoints slide design.Therefore, I would like to make the .swf's background transparent.Is there a script for setting the stage background alpha to 0?
View 1 Repliestrying 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
View 1 RepliesI'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.
I am wondering if it's posible to set the backgroundcolor of the stage through as3 code.i am also wondering if it's possible to set the stage height and stage width through the code. for the application i wish to develop, the values of the stage color and the stage dimensions are provided by an XML file.

View 3 RepliesRecently I've been planning out how I would run a game with an environment/map that is capable of unlimited dimensions (unlimited being a loose terms as there's obviously limitations on how much data can be stored in memory, etc). I've achieved this using a "grid" that contains level data stored as a String that can be converted to a 2D Array that would represent objects and their properties.Here's an example of two objects stored as a String:
"game.doodads.Tree#200#10#terrain$game.mobiles.Player#400#400#mobiles"
The "grid" is a 3D Array, of which the contents would represent the x/y coordinate of the grid cell. The grid cells would be, say, 600x600.An example of this "grid" Array would be as follows:
var grid:Array = [[["leveldata: 0,0"],["leveldata 0,1"]],
[["leveldata: 1,0"],["leveldata 1,1"]]];
The environment will handle loading a grid square and it's 8 surrounding squares based on a given point. ie the position of the Player. It would have a function along the lines of
function loadCells(xp:int, yp:int):void
This would also handle the unloading of the previously loaded cells that are no longer close enough to be required. In the unload process, the data at grid[x][y] would be overwritten with the new data, which is created by looping through the objects in that cell and appending each new set of data to the grid cell data.works fine in terms of when you move in a direction, cells are unloaded/saved and new cells are loaded. The problem is this:
Say this is a large city infested by zombies. If you walk three grid squares in any direction and return, everything is as you left it. I'm struggling to find a way to at least simulate all objects still moving around and doing their thing. It looks silly when you for example throw a grenade, walk away, return and the grenade still hasn't detonated.
I've considered storing a timestamp on each object when I unload the level, and when it's initialized there's a loop that runs it's "step" function amount of times. Problem here is obviously that when you come back 5 minutes later, 20 zombies are going to try and step 248932489 times and the game will crash.
I'm loading in an unlimited number of images through XML. I've got it so that it creates an MC for each image and adds each image to it. I need to position them into 2 coloumns and an unlimited number of rows.. so like :
1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8 .. etc
You'll see from my AS below i've got the code to position them along side each other, i just need the MCs to move down a row every 2..[code]My maths brain is about to explode so could anyone enlighten me as to the best way to do this?
I want to know how to build an unlimited levels xml menu. I know how to built a normal one.

View 2 RepliesAs a personal project, I'm working on a language-learning flash game.I'm looking at the information I'll need to store in various XML documents.I'm implementing a 'history' feature whereby, for any given word in the database, for any given user, a comprehensive history of data is stored. With this data, I can generate all sorts of fancy graphs to track any given user's progress.For example:You have been asked the word 'cat' 10 times. From data stored in the XML document, the game generates a graph of the time it took to answer each of those 10 times. (So in a perfect world, you see a nice downward curve. Congrats.)My question is how to organise the XML document (if that's the way to go with this) so that it is as efficient as possible.Right now, I can only see the brute force approach: have a limited number of predefined history states (say 99), and write data to these each time 'cat' comes up. Once they're full, overwrite.
Code:
<user#>
<word#321>

I'm trying to do the following to a flash banner, I'd like to know if it's possible and how I would code it/do it.
1. Unlimited amount of slide support. The banner must look for 01.jpg, 02.jpg, 03.jpg... etc. Let's say the current slidshow has 4 photos, they want to be able to just upload another image and create a new .as file to make it appear in the flash slideshow.
2. each link must be in its own independent script. For example 01link.as, 02link.as, 03link.as etc.
so much entries here about full screen flash, but i coultnt find what i wanna know. i read the tutorial about the full screen flash, but it wont work the way i wish it would. what i wann have is a swf embeded in an html. the swf size is 950 px x 550 px and is in the absolute middle from all sides of the browser. if you scale your browser, it should scale itself smaller, but not bigger than the beginning resolution. within the swf file there is a game, that opens in a seperate window in front of the main swf. that window should be dragged whereever you want in the browser.
but i just figuered out what i have to do, to give the window some freedom. but when i want to drag it above the main swf i cant do that. i figured out that when i drag it to the left, there is the same problem, but the further right i press the mouse on the window, the further i can drag the window to the left. same is on top - on the right and the bottom site there is no problem.and the html code is:

I'm new to flash in general, and wanted to try making a game using it. It's surprisingly addicting (I've gotten to the point of having an endlessly scrolling background with a moveable ship) but am having some trouble.I am currently making my first flash-based game using actionscript 3.0. However,I've come across a hurdle that I have not overcome: changing stages.I am making a SHMUP (it doesn't look very good, but I'm making it for experience) which has everything going from left-to-right ala R-Type.I have an endlessly looping background, but at the end of the stage I want to change the background, as well as all the enemies (they get upgraded per level) and enemy spawning positions.
