can I mask multiple object through a loop
should be the question
ActionScript Code:
for (var m = 0; m < mylooper; m++ ) {
MovieClip(holdbox.getChildByName("mytxt" + [m] )).mask = mymask
}
it seems to only mask the last object not all of them
what is the problem of this code:
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;

I was wondering if its possible to mask multiple MC or Sprites under one mask, when using AS3.abc.mask = a;cba.mask = a;something like that
View 2 RepliesI thought this would be simple but for some reason I'm having all kinds of problems. Why won't the for loop create a new c instance each time the loop increments, like it does for sHolder and s? ...And, assuming it is possible to make it do this, how can each instance be given an identifier that can be accessed dynamically, like sHolder and s in the traceSomething function?
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;

I have a as3 class that loads a number of images from a given location, they are all loaded dynamically with imageloader. However I'm trying to make a Xray screen for all of them, so when I click and drag the Xray screen around, it will reveal the images loaded under each picture, creating a sort of Xray effect.I tried using masks, however since the images are all loaded dynamically they are its own class with its own layers, I'm trying to make a mask that will work for all of them (I load 2 picture for each image, example car.jpg and carb.jpg, b.jpg being the inside image).so I have my stage ---> [MyXray Box, and my Images
View 4 RepliesI am doing is learning flash, so what I have done is followed some tutorials and created some different images with a mask, now I trying to make them loop and I can't seem to figure out how to do it. it seems at the end of the tutorial it says I must put in a stop or the last layers do not come in to view. So I am curious as to how to get passed this problem I am having. am I doing this completely wrong?

I have a group of 16 images that I would like to load 1 of each into each movieclip. I want image1 to be inside of visual1, image 2 inside of visual2, and so on. the images are named like, 1960s_(1).png where the 1960 (year) part is coming from the rangeNum variable. The above gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type int.

i have been building a library that has thumbnails which you click to view the full image. i have built the application it works but i want to change the way the image on the actual thumbnail loads using code instead of manually adding the value to the url loader component.
var myX;var instanceN:String;trace(instanceN);var currentLoad:uint = 0;// current loader and image loadingvar thumbnailURL:String;//Thumbnail URLvar thumbReq:URLRequest;// Thumbnail url requestfor(var k:uint = 0;k < iL_btn.length; k++)[code].....
the loop runs fine without the last line of code which i've commented out.the make up of these thumbnails are a uiLoader component which are each inside there own movieClip.what i wanted this to do was every time the loop runs it currentLoad adds 1 to its value then that value is subbed into instanceN:String and thumbnailURL address that bit works the trace statements read correctly.but my issue is using the instanceN value as the instance name path which then loads the current thumbnailURL value which is the URL address for the thumbnail picture.when i try to load the url address using the commented out code above i got the error .TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.the trace statements correct values below
the first value is the currentLoad value.
the second value is the instance name path.
the third is is the URL address for the thumbnail.[code].....

I am doing a multiple mask where an image is being masked by multiple little squares that drop down.I created 2 layers, mask and masked for each square and image.That part works fine, however, I wanted to load a different image everytime when the page loads, I used the example on this site:
choice = Math.round(Math.random()*6);
switch (choice) {
case 0 :[code]...
Now, every little square load a random image instead of all loading the same image. Is it possible to ask all other masked layer to call on that one random image? What should I do?
I have a logo that I'd like to animate for a class presentation. The logo can be seen here: [URL]. I would like only the word LEAF to fade in, and then the blue portion to wind its way around (Starting at the gap at the top, going clockwise and finishing by revealing to two shorter lines in the center). At first I tried to mask the blue portion in segments, but couldn't figure out how to link multiple symbols together to mask the same image.

I am attaching six movies via the attachMovie method. I have put all six of these instances into an array and everything's going smoothly as all box's move around in random places and bounce around around a little. Only problem is I want to mask all 6 of these instances via setMask so they are restricted to one area but can't seem to figure out how to do that.If that's not possible I would also love to know if there is a way to do collision testing with them and then I could draw a border around the area I want them to stay in and have them bounce around that (I would actually prefer this)

View 4 RepliesI have a series of images I'm adding to stage from the library. I need them in separate movie clips for tweening. If I create a new layer... add a shape to the layer... mask the layer... finally, add a layer below that layer (with nothing on it) then all of the images I've added from the library are masked. No matter what I try with code however, I can only get one image to be masked. must you create a new mask for each image you would like to mask? I thought maybe if I could do it all in one go on a layer, there must be some code that allows one shape/mc/object to mask several clips.
View 3 RepliesI'm having a really strange problem with movieclips that use a mask for reflection. On my main timeline I'm creating two instances of a movieclip named 'item'. In item.as I'm setting buttonmode and cacheAsBitmap to true, then setting a gradient movieclip as a mask. When I run the movie I am only getting the clickable hand icon when I hover over the first clip. However, if I comment out 'this.mask = mask_mc' then both clips are selectable.

Code:
Select allvar item_mc = new item();
item_mc.x = 0;
item_mc.y = 100;
addChild(item_mc);
var item_mc2 = new item();

I have a problem which I can't resolve. The problem is that if I apply a mask to object, it shows up deformed in swf.Here is what I see in Flash CS5 (sorry for large images): And this is what I get when I compile it and run swf (or run it embedded in html):
It looks a little bit rotated and skewed to the left. If I copy and paste the movieclip with mask to a new flash document, the problem dissaperas, so I guess it has something to do with Flash settings. I tried to compile for Flash 10 and Flash 9, but the deformation remains. The problem is that creating a new flash document and copying all images to new one is not an option, because the project is ~80MB.Here are my publish settings.
I tried to mask a 3D Display object using some code from the AS3 reference but was unsuccessful:
var square:Sprite = new Sprite();
square.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
square.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 40, 40);
addChild(square);
myDisplayObject.mask = square;
Is it possible to mask a 3D Display Object? (Can I draw a 3D Display Object through the Flash UI or must it be done via AS3? My guess is no, otherwise more people would be doing 3D in Flash without great travail.)
