I want to tile a pattern across the stage, but I want to load it with loader (png file).I used to do it like that, Tile being bitmap in the library with export name Tile
Code:
var pattern:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(pattern);
var g:Graphics = pattern.graphics;
function resizeHandler(event:Event=null):void
[code]....
what do i need to do actually to send this to beginBitmapFill ?
Is it possible to create a bitmap tile pattern in the non rectangular movie clip using actionscript 2.0. If possible how can i do it.
View 0 RepliesI'm loading an external logo (.swf) into a movieclip. The user would actually select what logo to load from a list. After loading the selected logo into the empty movieclip, the user can than apply certain changes such as changing the logo colors, the size, the rotation and the position of the logo over a certain product.What I want to do is to expand on this by allowing the user to select whether they want the logo tiled across the product
View 3 RepliesMy app uses a MVC pattern to display images - obviously they need to get loaded first, so...
I have two states ContentFull and ContentEmpty these are both typed as ContentState.
both implement IContentState which has the following function:
function getContent(model:ISIModel):Sprite
In the view, VContentView I have the following:
override public function update(event:Event = null):void
{
if(icontent!=null){this.removeContentChild()}; //not really necessary, but there to make sure
icontent = model.getContent();
[Code].....
So the problem is - When the image is loaded - everything is perfect, when the image is loading, and ContentEmpty.getContent() is called the percentage value calculated from bytesLoaded/bytesTotal is initially set at 0 and displays just fine, but... it never changes to 5%, 10% etc...
I have put trace statements to track it incrementing, which it does just fine, I have followed it around in debug (using the Flash CS4 IDE), I have nuked the entire display list and then added everything back, I have instantiated a new counter text object as a sprite in a separate class, but it stubbornly refuses to do anything other than sit at 0 until the image loads and then the ContentState is set to ContentFull and the image displays.
When i try to load an external swf file using Loader.Load(); The swf starts playing even before the init event is fired. Is there any way to stop the swf from playing atleast until the init event or complete event is fired?
View 1 Repliesfor some reason escapes me: using AS3 how can a swf load another swf to replace itself in the same loader on the stage, while simultaneously calling a randomizing function in the first frame of the main timeline, to randomize the next swf?At the end of each swf (called "koan_#.swf") there is the following old AS2 code...it was used to randomly select and then play a swf from koan array:
_root.index++
if(_root.index>_root.koan.length-1){
_root.index=0;

I'm making a loader.swf to load a menu.swf file. I'm done this dozens of times the same way and it has worked perfect. But this time...when I load my menu and trace it out, the loader keeps loading and reloading the menu.swf infinitley and I don't know why.
The only thing I've discovered is that my menu.swf file will load just fine IF I delete all of the actionscript from it. If there is even a comment in there the infinite loop starts again.

I'm very new to flash - I'm trying to use a pre-loader that loads an external SWF file. Its working except the percentage in the bar is actually reflecting how much of the entire page is loaded, not how much of just the flash banner is loaded. The result is that the percentage bar is still visible over the top of the flash banner when it begins to play and the percentage bar continues to load until the whole page is loaded.

I try to load a file over the local network with Loader Class but I get the error "URL Not Found". I use a path like this "file://///myPCnetID/pubilcFolder/pictures/mypic.jpg" which refers to a folder on the same PC I compile and run the Air flash file.
When I copy the adress into the browser the jpg-file ist displayed corretly.
I have an as3 preloader on the main timeline of my project1.swf It works ok if I test the swf by itself, but when I try to load it into my portfolio file through component loader, the preloader doesn't do anything, it acts as if everything is loaded. What do I need to change to get it to work inside another movie?

I started 2 days ago programming in as3, so I'm building a website and I want to create a pattern for my background.The pattern is a bitmap image 300px X 300px and I want to repeat it along the x axis and y axis of my document.My stage is 1280 x 800)And I want also to have the pattern to fill all the screen in case of the user's screen become larger than the resolution of the stage that I'm building the website on.

View 2 RepliesI'm making a game where you place tiles on a grid. When placing a tile, I need to check the existance of another tile to the left, right, or above and below, otherwise the tile should not be placed.. Here is a function I thought would work, that accepts one variable (the position of the tile just as it is about to be placed) :-
private function checkSurroundingTiles(gridPosition:uint) { var t1 = gridPosition - 12; var t2 = gridPosition - 1; var t3 = gridPosition + 1; var t4 = gridPosition + 12; for(i = 0; i < gridRefArray.length; i++) { var checkTile = gridRefArray[i]; if(checkTile == t1) { return true;

i'm trying to search a string for a particular pattern, and replace it with elements from within the pattern... for example..here's the given string...if you want to learn how to use regexp, {url===http://somesite.com, text===click here}.
the pattern...
{url===http://somesite.com, text===replacement text}
and the intended result...
if you want to learn how to use regexp, click here.
of course, i'll extract the url and do something else with it... i'm just wondering what the regexp is for that pattern, and how i can extract things from the results returned.

All I'm trying to do is load an external .swf file into a precise location on the stage of my existing Flash file. I've spent an hour and a half on this site search and found nothing. What do I add to my loadMovie command to place the file at specific x,y coordinates?
View 3 RepliesI only changed the size from 34 x 34 to 10 x 10. Everything else remained the same. I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen, but it literally takes almost a minute to load/publish preview. One other thing. I have it on the very first layer.

View 1 RepliesI got this very strange behavior from FlashPlayer debugger 10.1 r82. When I call loader.load method, no ADDED event is dispatched to the loader object. But if I open the file and call loader.loadBytes instead, an ADDED event is dispatched to the loader object. I suspect the ADDED event is dispatched because the content is being set as the child of Loader object, but why in the other case it is not dispatched?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to load a bunch of external swfs into a tile list. Once the swfs have been loaded I'm adding them to a dataprovider which I then sort and add to the tilelist. Like so:
dp.addItem({label:e.currentTarget.content.getLabel(), path:e.currentTarget.content.getPath(), source:e.currentTarget.content, cost:e.currentTarget.content.getCost(), category:e.currentTarget.content.getCategory()});
It works fine except that the way I'm doing it I have to add a bunch of functions to each swf to know which one is loaded and pass the correct info to the dataprovider.Is there another way to tell which swf has been loaded? Something like this.URLRequest. If I could tell something about it I could compare that to my original xml and find out all the other information I need for my dataprovider.

Is there any way to animate from a tile based .png image file? I have multiple images in 1 png file having slight changes in each image, which if cropped and put into layers one over the other, will give the feel of animation or a character moving or walking etc.I want to know can we do that kind of animation in flash as we do it in C++ or Java and how can we do it.
View 4 RepliesI've got a properties file with two distinct key-value pair patters like the following;name.name.name.key = valuename.name.fullname.key = valueAccessing them one by one is fine if the key is known.What I need now, though, is to access ALL values from say name.name.name without knowing the keys (integers to be exact). The values then have to be added to an ArrayList to be displayed in a List.The keys are completely random, so I don't know the range beforehand (I can't and don't want to hardcode the range of range of keys for each single properties file), so simply looping through a previously defined range isn't what I need here. Also, the keys are not successive.
How can I do this with AS3?Just for clarification as this seems to be a little confusing;I do not want to parse the properties file. I rather want to solve this using the methods AS and Flex already provide.The ResourceBundle class already has a method that outputs the content of the specified bundle. However, it contains all values. What I need is just a subset of values that match a given key pattern.Edit:To make this easier, I can drop the key pattern matching and create a new resource file with a distinct pattern. Now I only need to get all key-value pairs (I need both the integers from the keys and the value) from that resource.
I'm trying to load all the images to display on the stage from an xml file.I am also trying to add them onto the stage using the Bitmap class. This is where I am having trouble. I am using the Bitmap class so I can use their width and height.Right now I'm only able to see one image on stage when I use the Bitmap class. If I don't use the Bitmap class and just addChild(iconLoader) inside the loop in the xmlLoaded function I can see all of the images. But I want to use the Bitmap class.
Here is the code
