I was wondering whether it would be possible to perform operations on Filters, specifically the DropShadow filter, such as resizing it. Are there any known ways to do it?
View 7 RepliesI looked at the following example in the AS3 Reference: [URL] It is unclear to me looking at the package example how to apply this in standard ActionScript 3 without packages to a Movie Clip resident in my Library that gets called at RunTime. how I would push the DropShadow filter onto my Movie Clip at RunTime?
View 6 RepliesI've been trying to animate a drop shadow filter and so far have been unsucessful, I tried doing it with a for loop but for some reason that didn't work, I also tried an onEnterFrame but without success either
here's what I've done

Code:
var ds: DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter(2, 35, 0x000000, 0, 5, 5, .8, 3, false, false, false);
preloader.filters = [ds];

that doesn't work either..how I can animate the BlurFilter, I just want it to go from an alpha of 0 to an alpha of 60...
I'm using this code into a mouse over and mouse out listener , to change the color of a TextField.
Code:
var ct:Color = new Color();
ct.setTint(0xFF0000, 0.5);
mc.transform.colorTransform = ct;
The problem is that the dropShadow filter associated with the TextField (applied in the flash UI) is gone when this colorTransform applies.
Should I apply the filter dynamically, is that the only solution ??

View 7 RepliesI have an input Text Field with the autoSize property set to true, a DropShadow filter, and with a default text value of "Your text here".When the user enters text in the Text Field, and if their entry exceeds the length of the default text, everything typed after that length is reached APPEARS to have been truncated.
However, when I turn the DropShadow off, the TextField expands to the requirements of the newly entered text. This proves that the TextField actually autosized, but just didn't show the additional characters when the DropShadow was applied. I can then turn the DropShadow back on, showing all of the text in the Text Field. how to autoSize a textfield(so that the user can actually see the expanded TextField) when a DropShadow filter has been applied?
I've come to learn through research that applying filters to flash webcam recording seem backend-ed. In other words, when a user pre-apply filters to their video (light brightness, blur, saturation), the filter parameters (CData, I think) are saved with the video but the actual video file is untouched (RAW) or as recorded. My questions are, Can and how are filters "baked" into a video recorded from a webcam? and Can this be done in flash / flex

View 1 RepliesTo achieve a zoom effect in our 2D flash game, we make the background of the game much bigger than the visible stage. This becomes a problem when the background is complex or when we apply a grayscale filter to the background. Is there a better way to do zoom? Or, is there a way to apply the filter to only a specific area of a movieclip?

I am wondering how I could create a dropshadow on a container that would give the appearance that the container is lower than its parent. Normally the dropshadow is applied primarily to the outside of the right and lower sides. What I want to achieve is a dropshadow to be applied to the inside of the top and left sides. The idea is to give the appearance that the container is embedded into its parent.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to set up a dynamic flash movie so i can set the color of text with a dropshadow applied using setRGB.
Here is the code i am using to set the text color (simple setRGB call):
var my_color:Color = new Color(this.tagLine_txt);
my_color.setRGB(tagLineColor);
Now here is the problem, setRGB automatically makes my dropshadow color the same as the fill color. The only solution i have found is to stack two identical text boxes on top of one another and then setting the dropshadow on the text behind to black to make it look proper.
I have tried using filter to set the dropshadow color as well with no luck:
// Makes the filter available to use in the Movie.
import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter;
// Creates a variable with info about the Filter settings

I am trying to use the same script, an image uploader (that uses PHP), twice to upload two different images into two different scroll panes using two different buttons, while displaying the current action in a text area.I would have thought this could be done by changing the names of the buttons etc and then changing them in the script to match, but I'm not entirely sure how to go about doing this (I am completely new to Flash!)

I've created a application where the viewer could change colours, add text, add logos, rotare them, etc... How do I create a reset button which resets everything to back normal in a specific FRAME? What functions do I have to use?
E.g.
Frame 5 is used to Add colours and text, etc...
Frame 10 is used to Add logos,scale them, rotate them, etc...
I need a reset button in Frame 5 to make only the things which were changed back to normal.

Today I came across this question and I now have a sudden urge to find & complete similar challenges for ActionScript 3.Are there any resources specifically targeting AS3 which offer a level of complexity similar to the above? It'd be great to start really pushing the limits of my ActionScript skills.
View 3 RepliesIs there a way I can find out all the classes that are related specifically to the iphone in CS5? (ie Accelerometer, Gestures...ec)
What I want to do specifically is try to access the camera and then if there is none (say it is an old ipod touch) then go to a photos/camera roll folder and show those. Apparently in the help files, in the Air 2.5 runtime there is a "browseForImage" function that allows you to go to said cameraRoll but it will not compile if I publish under the iphone OS option (does not have specific stuff I am importing from an example flash.media.MediaType, flash.events.MediaEvent, flash.media.MediaPromise). Upon looking up the errors, there is no mention whether it is for a specific device.
how do I translate this html code:
<a href="ch.mov" onClick="MyWindow=window.open('ch.mov','MyWindow', 'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,m enubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=360,hei ght=250'); return false;">
I want to be able to have a button open a new window specifically sized and without scroll bars or extraneous browser crap.
I'm fairly new to AS3. In AS2 I often used objects to store properties so I can creatre them dynamically and refer to them later.Sometime I use an array as a property. I am wondering if my method of doing this is the best way, or if AS3 has other methods that might be better suited.In this case I have an object that stores properties like ID no. and I also want to store an array of sub properties which are in array.[code]

If I encode all colors into one single float value (RGB) as:

How can I retrieve those color channels back in AGAL? There doesn't seem to be any bitwise operators.
