ActionScript 3.0 :: Make The Irregular Shape Of The Silo The Hit Area?
Jun 18, 2009
I'm using actionscript to place a bitmap into an empty movieclip like so:
var bitmap_mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip;
addChild( bitmap_mc );
bitmap_mc.addChild( bitmapPNG );
bitmapPNG is an irregular shaped png of a person, but when I use the movieclip as a button, the hit area is the square shape of the movieclip, not the silo. How do I make the irregular shape of the silo the hit area, and not the surrounding square of the moviclip?

How can I attachBitmap to an irregular shape?I load a pattern into my movie (pattern.jpg), it is a square image 500x500. I want to draw that image onto an irregular shape. If I do the following it simply shows the large square overtop of my shape. The pattern isn't actually applied to my shape.
Code:
var bitmap:BitmapData = new BitmapData(500, 500, true, 0x00000000);
myShape.attachBitmap(bitmap,1,"auto",true);
bitmap.draw(pattern);

In my app, a user must drag and release a rectangular mc object (rectx) over an irregular shape within another mc object (irregx). There are 13 rect/irreg pairs. Each obj shares an AS2 file that checks whether rectx is over irregx, and proceeds _only_ if the check is true. The script uses hitTest, on mouse release, to grab the number (x) of the rectx being dragged and checks whether it's over irregx. Right now, the check comes back true when rectx is _anywhere_ inside irregx's bounding box whether it's over the actual image or not.
I've noticed that, when the (unpressed) mouse rolls over any irregx, it's oblivious to irregx's rectangular bounding box. It only reacts when it reaches the edge of the irregular shape inside, toggling from arrow to hand at the image edges. Since the mouse knows where the irregx image boundary is, is there a simple way to tap the mouse's 'eyesight' to verify whether rectx is over the correct irregx shape (meaning not just within the bounding box, within the shape inside it)? This can't be that hard.

I am trying to draw a line that goes from point A to Point B. Along the way there are objects (of any shape) that force the line to go around them in order to reach point B. It cant go through them. This is like directing someone using a map. You can only draw a line between the blocks / along the streets.
I tried that using collision tests. Fine, I can now find the coordinates at that instance, but I still cant get the line to go around the object before proceeding to point B.

I'm a novice to Flash and I've been trying unsuccessfully to display video with defined irregular dimensions (practically a quadrilateral with various edge size). Would that be possible? I see that there are only several customization options:
1. Positioning in a plane defined by (x,y) that corresponds to the position of the top left corner of the video.
2. Width and height.
If it's not possible in flash, are there any other options with programmable features like that of flash?

In my design I've got a button which is styled in a unique shape. It ties in directly with another button. The simplest way to describe the button is a regular square split into two diagonal shapes (except the hypotenuse is curved).Well, I said Button, I've actually created the button as a MovieClip.Inside the movieclip I use code resembling the following:
ActionScript Code:
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, myFunction);
function myFunction(event:MouseEvent) {
[code]......

i have a drop down menu am working on and each button tab (although they are not button instances !) when clicked opens up the "drop down" section which you can mouse over to choose another specific button etc - if you mouse out of that drop down area then it pulls back up to the original tab state .. what do i change to the code below to decrease the area that you mouse out of to make the drop down area pull back .....at the moment it at least two inches on the screen below and to the right of boundaries of the drop down box before it pulls up - i want to it pull up as the mouse leaves the boundary box .... hope this makes sense .... there is some part of the actionscipt below that controls this but can work out which bit and how to change it !!! (am guessing the x mouse and y mouse bits - but how to change it ???)

I've never used the drawing function on Flash and I followed the fairly simple tute on it just recently. Is there any way to confine the drawing area to a specific shape. Mine's a rectangluar shape that's rotated. You can download my FLA with the background image here > [URL]. I'd like to try and keep it confined to the notepad area. I think it might be a hitTest thing with if/else. My other thing would be to just rotate the notepad so that it's straight. Even still I'd like it confined to the area beginning with the corner of the notepad, not the corner of my movie.

I am trying to make a random shape, I want each different point to draw a line to every other point, which I know this won't do yet even if it worked the way that I wanted. But, at the moment, my code does nothing. It is supposed to draw a line from from the first value in the point array to the second value in it to the third value in it.
Here's my code:
Code:
onLoad = function() {
drawIt(10);
}
function drawIt(numberOfPoints) {

I currently got a movieclip. On the timeline of the movieclip i've put a keyframe on frame 100, so that my movieclip is 100 frames long.On the stage I got a 100px wide red square as BG and on top of that a copy of the 100px square just in blue (my shape tween).What im basically trying to do is having the 100px blue square act as a percentagebar. So when I do something like:
ActionScript Code:
percentagebar.gotoAndStop(50);
The shape tweener should tween from frame 1 to frame 50 (with 50 representing 50%).

I have a flash ecard that I am working on and had one of those "wouldn't it be cool if..." moments!
I would like find out if it is possible to:
1) load in an xml file that contains several names
2) Load each one of those names into a predefined movie clip which would display the name
3) randomize the placement of each name in a given shape area so that the Movie clips with names would randomly fill in to make a specific shape.

I am getting familiar with the Flash animations I am trying to make a simple animation within the text input area i.e.
1.FAN BASE
2.FA NBASE
What I want is the letter N to move slowly towards letter B.I have done motion tweening but it doesn't work -either the whole text is moving left right or the letter N is simply skipping to the second position without smooth animation.( there's no error on motion tween by the way)

Of course, when the mouse rolls over the graphic, the button beneath it is not clickable.Without going into all the reasons why I can't incorporate the graphic into the button itself... is there a way in AS3 to programmatically make that graphic virtually "transparent" - so that it doesn't interfere with the button's rollover and hit states?

I've bee following this site for a long time, and now I finally got a question on my own.
I'm trying (by ActionScript) to make a bunch of small circles form a complex shape e.g. a star or a windmill.
I'm planning to draw on circle and draw it to bitmap date, but I don't know how to place a lot of circles in the shape of a complex shape (or how to transform them into another complex shape).
