I would like to recreate the flash selection tool's functionality. To clarify, I created a drawing program that uses the drawing api. Now if a user draws a circle, I would like them to have the ability to stretch and mold it like you can in flash by hovering close to the edge so the ) cursor shows up.
View 3 RepliesCan I use jQuery or something else to re-create this flash app's functionality?I haven't messed around with jQuery much, but I feel like the same functionality can be achieved as Flash can.Are there any other languages or combinations of languages that I could use to replicate the functionality of this site?

You have to click the start button on the bottom of the first screen in the top left of the page in order to start interacting with the timeline. If you click the X in the top corner, the timeline data won't load.After clicking start clicking on a picture will bring up a caption. If desired, a link is placed under the caption that opens to a new window. You can scroll through time and get details on events when they are clicked.There isn't a lot more to this site, but I want to be able to do something similar using jQuery or another capable language.Is this possible? If so, what languages do I need to use in order to replicate the functionality of the flash app on this site?
I've been looking all over with no luck for a way to code the pen tool in AS3. What i want is, in the flash application, the pen tool as it functions in Flash itself. So, for example, i push Ctrl + Enter and test my program, then can use the mouse to click and create a point, click again and it connects with a straight line, or click and drag to create a curve. I don't need anything like hinges where you can go back and edit curves, i just want the click/click drag line functionality.

View 1 RepliesThis is the most frustrating program ever. No where can I find an answer. I've tried everything I've read on how to change text but I can never get the selection tool to select the text. Some say use the T tool but all that does is create a new white box over top of it to type new text in
The layer isn't locked and the closest I can get is a blue box around the button. Well it's not a button and in the library the icon is a movie clip. Its also in my "bitmaps" folder as and image? (tree icon) Does that matter? I'm begining to think this is a whole image?
well i tried to make a selection tool just for the heck of it, so when you click and drag a box apear and selects multiple things you drag over, i got it 80% done but im stuck in a rut, here is my fla please give me advice on improving, youll see what i mean when you run it[URL]...

I found out there are some challenges on it: The program is available on Flash and I don't know how any Script (I am planning to use JavaScript) could use virtually its UI, it means to send the appropriate key strokes to the game UI. I know Java Script is not the easiest language to master and especially there are challenges on such a complicated coding aim as Artificial Intelligence.

Im trying to convert my company's logo from a jpg to a flash movieclip...I need to do this because the jpg has a static background of white...but I need the background to be transparent so that only the text graphix show up above everything else...assuming I can get a hold of the font used for the logo...how would I do all the fancy shading/lighting with the "bent horizon" look across it? I am by no means a designer...merely a wannabe developer...so I know nothing as far as the pretty part of flash is concerned...here is the logo I am trying to duplicate..
View 2 RepliesIm working on a project where i have 5 buttons on one side and a blank window in the middle of the screen. when a button is clicked an external swf is loaded with movieclips of text based on each catergory. 2 of these movieclips of text are long and a request for an index at the top of the page has been made. everything in the movie is working so far except the page index. i wanted to create this similiar to the way an html index works with page anchors.
i have made all the letters and converted them to movieclips. ive added event listeners to those buttons so that the main window's y position is moved when they are clicked. the main swf window will jump down to the desired position but the scroll button remains at the top and theres no way to scoll back up to the top of the page.

View 2 RepliesI want to load in external swfs into an mc on the root called 'holder'.In As2, I would just do loadMovie("whatever.swf", this.holder); And if I loaded another swf into that same holder it would replace the contents with the new swf.
But now, I'm trying As3 and doing..var i =new Loader();i.load(new URLRequest("contact.swf"));this.holder.addChild(i)
When I repeat this code, for another external swf, I want it to replace the first one, but it appears to not be doing that. I fear that this addChild, is simply adding more mc's within my main holder mc.
So I don't know how to match the functionality that I liked from As2.
I'm trying to recreate the sky with a rotating clip in the shape of an arc. I've tried the built-in timer that changes the rotation, I've tried the TweenMax class, and I've tried hand-building the animation with a motion tween. In all cases, the movement is jerky--smooth for about five frames, then a sudden jerk of motion. What can I do to make this animation smoother? Clip is about 2400px wide, 400px high, with a reg point about 3000px away that it rotates around.

View 3 RepliesI have been trying to recreate the rollOver swapdepth effect (above). Works OK but slow using mc's on the main timeline using the swapDepth behaviors.It appears (on the [URL]) that each swf is loaded independently on top of the main with their own preloaders.This seems vastly more complicated than just swapping depths on a single timeline.
View 1 RepliesSo I'm using PixelFume's Active Blur class to recreate the effect, though somewhat simpler so I rewrote some of it and it seem screwed up to me. I have it on the first frame of an .swf that gets loaded into and container clip in the main .swf via loadMovie. It does what I want it to do, but everytime you load the page it comes up slower and slower. If you click the button to load it like 15 times, it's pretty much 1fps.
The code is as below:
Code:
import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Point;
var bottom = bg.getDepth();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("bgBlur", bottom+1);
