ActionScript 3.0 :: .swf File Loaded After The First One Comes In Partially Transparent?
Nov 22, 2009
I have a flash site (portfolio), and it uses buttons to load/remove different .swf file (it is an XML gallery that I did not write.) It works perfectly - the FIRST time I load/unload a .swf . . . however, every .swf file loaded after the first one comes in partially transparent (it normally fades in), but otherwise the .swf is fully functional. Each .swf has it's own unique name/images, but is otherwise identical to the original gallery. It doesn't matter which one I open first - the first one is always correct, the rest, not. Also, the degree of transparency varies randomly, but generally seems to hover somewhere around 1/2 way.
[code]...
I know that something in the XML gallery is causing this (switch to a completely different .swf and the transparency issues go away), but I also think that I am likely not unloading the .swf correctly and that some part of it is remaining in the memory and creating issues when it is used more than once.
I have a flash file which loads data from JSON and parses it. It works fine expect on one machine (specs below). On that machine it loads an image URL specified in the JSON, but nothing else. I've tested with a other machines (Dell E6400, Apple MacBook Pro) and it works just fine in all browsers. I compared Windows Updates between the Dell E6400 and the Dell Optiplex 745 and they only differ by one update (KB2525694) which isn't applicable for my Dell E6400.
One of the swf files in my project is acting strangely.The file compiles perfectly, and is functional when running stand-alone.If I try to load it into the main swf in my project, the code stops executing just prior to the first for..
loop.To find out where the code was stopping, I placed a textfield on the stage named "stageText", and assigned different strings to it at various points in the flow of actionscript.It stops executing immediately after stageText.text = "init2";, and just before the first for..loop. (see comments in code)Why is the code stopping at the for loop?Why does it only happen when the file is loaded into another swf?
Code: import gs.*; import gs.easing.*; var locationsXML:XML;
Is there any way to play my partially loaded flash movie while loading is still in progress ?like progressive video download.My app is not video based.I have only animations and interactive coding.
There are buttons on either side that scroll the dynamically loaded images left and right. The script is compiled from an external AS file which I've pasted below.
What I need to do is load a transparent png over top of the images but underneath the buttons. I've inserted a graphic below. I've tried inserting the png directly in the timeline as well as loading it dynamically in to a movie clip. The overlay always comes out on the bottom. [code]...
I want to load a PNG image using loadClip() and place it into a movieclip. After the image is loaded I set an event handler, in this case onPress. Now my problem is that the onPress event activates whereever I click on this loaded PNG image. All I want it to do is to only fire the event if I press on a non-transparent area of the PNG image. In the end, I want to load a background image and put this PNG image over it. The PNG image shall act like a mask which tells the background image where I can click and where I'm not supposed to. But before I can do that I need to recognize transparent areas of an imported PNG image.
Is it possible to make flash file with transparent background. I want to make animated buttons on transparent background, so you can see background image in wordpress under the buttons.
I've read a Flash tutorial which states in order for your published swf. to have no background you have to:
File - Publish Settings - HTML tab - Windows Mode: Transparent Windowless - Publish
I have then exported the file as a swf. and mounted it in a HTML container expecting the Flash movie to have no background.This did not happen, there was a plain white background in the container instead.
I am loading an embeded swf file with SWFLoader using actionscript 3 in Flash Builder 4.5. When I load this swf and set "wmode" to "transparent" in HTML, it works as expected and you can see the background color through the swf object in HTML.
However, when I load the swf in Air with the following code:
[Embed(source="swf/data.swf")] var data:Class; swfLoader = new SWFLoader(); swfLoader.percentWidth = 100;
I was wondering if anyone knows if you can create a flash file with a transparent background. Ultimately i would like to insert my flash file (which is a website) into dreamweaver but i want it to interact with my background image in dreamweaver (which fills the whole browser page edge to egde) so it shows through my flash file which will have an opaque backgorund?
can i have a transparent vedio file ( for example avi ) or any other accepted formats into flash ??? I'm using 3d studio to make some antimations and i need to add them on my flash movie and of course they should be transparent. if there is any way other than using a sequence of png image files (( which is a too stupid way because of the large number of frames )).
I created a .swf file for a header of a website using a logo that tweens in. I tested the .swf with the transparent properties and it works but the logo I imported from photoshop has a white box around it, how can I remove this? Do I need to import a transparent .png file instead of a .jpg?
I bought this flying birds MOV file from istockphotos and now I'm stuck trying to implement it into my webpage, I want it to run like a flash file, every few seconds but I can't seem to be able to import it into Adobe Flash, I tried using the code below but it does not allow me to do much and is not transparent:
In my project, there is a frame(png files) placed on the top of all symbols. After that, I apply mouse click event to the symbols that place underneath the frame symbol, but when I run the the game, I cannot click to the below symbols but only the frame symbol, although the frame is transparent.
The problem is, although the png picture has some transparent area, the mouse click cannot pass through it. Is there solution? Is there anyway I can disable a symbol from being clicked and mouse click event can recognize the symbol placed under it?
I've got a movieclip called img_container that holds a draggable image (img_mc) and a mask over img_mc. I can save my img_container out as a transparent png which works great but the issue I have is that the png dimensions are still the size of the original img_mc. I fairly new to AS3 so I'm at a stand still. What I would like to do is save out the bitmap as only the visible area of the masked img_mc. The mask (called myMask) is also draggable and resizable so I'm not sure how to go about saving that specific area only.
I wanted to put on the stage a png file with some transparent areas, unfortunately it weight too much.So instead I thought I'll create a shape object and use jpeg image as it's mask...
I imported a video into flash and have a transparent photoshop layer to create an iPod skin. The video works fine, but I cannot get the "stage" to be transparent so that you do not see the flash background color behind the iPod skin.
I've read in the forums and have followed the instructions here from Adobe. If you look at my code, I have
I ve uploaded flash file with transparent background to my web page. Set background transparency in html code of page. Purpose of this flash is to represent main meny, so it contains few buttons, in up and over stage everything is ok but when i press mouse some strange doted line appears around flash, on click out of flash zone line disappear i want to remove that doted line.
I'm trying to add some animation into my flex application, so I've made an animated .swf that I want to embed into the application. The problem I'm having is if I use a SWFLoader, it comes up with a solid background colour, the same as the container window, I can't seem to get rid of this,
I have searched the internet thoroughly for a resolution and spent an entire day at work unable to sort this problem out. I am using Flex 3.2 sdk and Adobe Air 1.5.0
Embedding as a symbol is also a possiblity I've tried, and would prefer to do it that way if possible as it will make it easier to add code to stop/start the animation at different positions.
The component I am adding the animation to is a TitleWindow, not sure if thats relevant but maybe it makes a difference!
I have one picture imported into flash cs4 and would like to make a rectangle box which should be transparent. Finally I will save it as .swf file for later use. But the box should be transparent (without any background). How can I do that?
I have a SWF file in my Dreamweaver site, that plays correctly. The problem is that the stage is white and we would like it to be transparent. Searching the archives the following advice was given:
in your html embedding code you need to set the wmode parameter to be "transparent" I'm wondering if this is the code in Dreamweaver or is this done in Flash. I'm working with CS5. Below is the code that matches the SWF file in Dreamweaver. I did change the wmode value from "opaque" to "transparent" and it didn't work.
Is there a way to launch a pop-up window from a transparent Flash file, without it getting blocked by the pop-up blocker? I know it's a security issue with the different browsers not to let you pop-up a window from a transparent .swf, but is there anyway around it? Like tricking the browser in anyway? I've tried everything I can think of, passing stuff to the html page with Javascript and then having the HTML page call the pop-up but that means that the page has to refresh then call the pop-up.
For example, I have a transparent png file, the shape is a car.In the png file, I only draw the white border shape.Outside and inside the border are all transparent.
I want to use actionscript3 code to show the car object with different color, it means only fill color inside the border, and for the outside of the border, keep transparent.How to do that?
So far, the simplest workaround is to prepare many images with PhotoShop, but it's not good enough for me. When I have many shapes and use many colors, I've to prepare many many images.Add more details:(Because I'm using white border, you may not see the basic png file if your background of browser is white)
Is it possible to control one loaded SWF File eg.(MOVIE-1.swf) from another loaded SWF file eg.(MOVIE-0.swf) on a different level? eg. with a syntax like:
I am creating a map in flash cs4 with all the countries on it. I used photoshop for creating the map and separated countries. Now I imported all pngs in Flash and I want to give Mouse CLICK event and Mouse Hover on all pngs, but as the transparent pixels are overlapping the other states, it is getting difficult. So, I converted all pngs in movieclips and now then I broke up pngs. Now I want to delete all pixels having alpha 0 using eraser tool, as per the borders. And I have to do it manually for individual countries. So is there a way to remove transparent pixels from the bitmap data?
