ActionScript 3.0 :: Make Transparent Text For Flash?
Feb 27, 2010
how to make transparent text for Flash with ActionScript 3? I have a movie clip as a background which had an embeded video. I only want the outline of the text I display in front of this movie clip to be displaye with this movie playing inside the text outline and outside of it as well.
Say, i have a text field with some text in it, and i want to make it have a backgruond with alpha value (as in partially transparent, not sure how to make it sound good ^^). This text field reacts to mouse events, such as clicks and rolls out/over, and each event changes the background color.
I've done some digging and ran across flash.text.TextField.backgroundColor and flash.text.TextField.background properties of text fields. They're cool, but not enough to solve the problem. And obviously, if I change the text field's alpha value, the text will also become transparent.
I know I can create a movieclip below the text field and alter its properties to acheive my goal, but I'm wondering if there is a simpler way.

I've created a flash to go in an html page with a colored background. When I put images with the appropriately desinated colors in flash, it changes the color ever so slightly when it runs in the page. It's JUST enough for it to be noticable. Is it possible to designate a transparent background?
I am looking for the actionscript (or the tutorial) for a transparent flash pop-up. We all know them, those annoying commercial-popups that appear in the middle of your screen after 5 seconds and that stay on top of the website untill they close itself. Well, is there anyone who can tell me how to make such a transparent popup in flash? I mean, opening a new html-window in flash is so easy, but how do I open a new flash-movie (with transparent background) that stays on top of my page???for an example, go here. (I hope it appears on your screen, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't...)

I'm working with actionscript 3 and have a trouble. I need to write player where users will see text on the front of the movie. The text is text field of type "Dynamic text". The problem is that I need to make this text object transparent for mouse move and clicks.
I tried:
.mouseEnabled=false; .selectable=false;
when I click on it - it does not pass clicks through it.
Why are text fields not catching events properly in Safari when wmode is transparent (no problems in ie/ff/chrome)? The only workarounds I've found involve sending html form field events to flash through an external interface (eg. overlaying html form on flash).
Edit: Swfobject embed code...
<script> var swfVersionStr = "10.2.0"; var xiSwfUrlStr = "playerProductInstall.swf"; var flashvars = {};
I have a flash that has a background symbol that responds to CLICK event. On top of that symbol I have a sprite that contains a Bitmap with transparent pixels. Both of them are added to the stage, so they are not related directly.
I want clicks on the transparent pixels on the sprite to go straight through to the background. I have read about mouseEnabled / mouseChildren but have not been able to make these work. The symbol ignores the mouse events when I use them, but does not pass it along as if its transparent.
Is this possible to do with flash? Or will I have to re-route mouse events?
A friend and I are working on a Flash game. He is programming it and needs the different character animations in SWF form. The problem is when he places them in-game, they are surrounded by the white block that was behind the character animation.
How do you make the background of the SWF/flash file transparent so they white block will no longer be visible. I know how to do it in HTML for the web, but this must be different.
In Flash MX, is there a way to make the background transparent? So once I have exported the .swf document into Dreamweaver I can place it on the background, blend in with it and only show the animation parts..
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.
The user uploads an image. After uploading is complete the image is displayed the screen. The user can select a particular pixel on the image. Accordingly the image should be removed of that color and made transparent. 1. i tried the getpixel and setpixel32 the image still is very blurr. 2. i also tried threshold its also of the same result - not able to see how to make the output of the image more crisp.
I am developing an app on AIR 1.5 and Flex 4. how to make a mx:DataGrid in Flex with a transparent background. All of the tutorials I have found seem to suggest adjusting the backgroundAlpha to 0 but so far as i can tell Flex 4 components do not support this property, so how can it be done?
