I am using masks to create a flashlight effect. I have managed to mask the floor of the room but cant seem to mask the aliens as im unsure what code will mask the aliens.
here is the engine.as
Code:
private var thelight:light;
private var theplayer:player;
private var theroom:room;
//private var thebug:bug;

I'm trying to make a flashlight effect that automatically (not mouse controlled) goes over the text and image (all on the image) and then have the flashlight beam fade then open completely to the 900x400 image and stay visible...
View 7 RepliesI'm attempting to create a dry erase board style animation effect in my flash movie where I'm erasing the text, like a dry erase board type effect. I've tried doing a frame by frame mask animation and it's not turning out very well. Has anyone attempted this before? Are there any tutorials or maybe after effects > flash tricks?
View 2 RepliesI can SEE the maskObject unless I set its alpha to 0 and then it doesn't let clicks through to objectToBeMasked
And every single tutorial that I've seen fails to mention this and how to solve it, as if it should be obvious.
How do I mask objects through AS3 so that the masks act like masks act like the ones added in the IDE?
I have an animation I've created of a rotating Earth. I want to turn it into a movie clip, so I can easily use it in other files. The problem is, I can't make it into a movie clip because there are some layers that are masks and they are locked.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create the effect where it seems as if a picture is cut up in a number of pieces that slowly ease to their location where eventually they all form one image again. There must be an onEnterFrame handler somewhere in which the easing is done. I'm not sure exactly how to set it up though. Could somebody please have a look?
View 9 Repliesalso think it has been asked before. I searched but couldn't find it so here goes:I'm trying to create the effect where it seems as if a picture is cut up in a number of pieces that slowly ease to their location where eventually they all form one image again.

View 9 RepliesI'm trying to create three circles on the stage, one red one green, one blue. When Red overlaps blue, I want the overlapped area to be magenta. When blue overlaps green, the overlapped area should by Cyan. When red&green, it should be yellow, and when all 3 mix it should be white. How do I create the color effect. Right now I have the overlap constraints working and a simple TRACE outputting the color. I need to know how to create the color effect when they mix.

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to create multiple layer masks over a single layer using Actionscript3?Below is the flash effect I wanted to create with masks.First it starts from A and goes to B and C simultaneously.Then from B it goes to H and D simultaneously (the same applies to C).This is how the end result will look like.ps. I need my background to be transparent. I'm embedding it into a web page later.
View 2 RepliesI have a circle mask over a photo. I'm trying to get it so the edges fade out to black. Currently, it just is a solid white circle. It's a movie clip and has a radial blur and is motion tweened. The alpha channel on the radial blur is 100% on the first point and 0% on the last. Can a spotlight with radial blur/fade be done without adding code or actionscript?
I've attached a photo of what I have now along with what the movieclip I'm using.
I'm on CS5, but can only use AS2, if actionscript is necessary.
Just that: is there any possibility to control the iPhone's flashlight using any class in ActionScript 3?

I posted a bit earlier about some problems I had with a game I'm trying to do.[URL].. My first and main problem is that the ennemies are going through the walls. I can do a hiTest like with the player so that the collision is detected, but I don't know how to make the ennemy change direction. I thought it would be quite simpler if the ennemies could not move simultaneously on the x and y axis, but don't know how to do it. (then they would only need to make a 90 degrees turn)
Second problem is the hitTest for detecting collisions with the ennemies. It seems like I'm not able to do it. There is the part which I thought would be good at the end of the script in commentary. Third problem, which is the least important in my eyes is that we see the ennemies even if the "flashlight" is not aimed towards them.

View 1 Repliesbest way to create an effect as if text was being 'typed' onto the screen (i.e. text appears 1 letter at a time, not as a single block)?I was considering creating an array containing each letter that needed to be typed, then using a timer to display each letter in turn... but this seems rather inefficient, is there a better way to go about this?
View 4 RepliesI was just wondering what the best way to distort an object using AS3 is? I am creating a game which involves a ball-like object bouncing off several hard surfaces, ideally I'd like the ball to squash on impact (think of a soft rubber ball 'squashing' as it hits off something) and I wasn't sure what the best way to do this was? It may hit off of surfaces at any angle, so it won't simply be hitting off a horizontal plane from above otherwise I'd just use the scale function.
View 1 RepliesI would like to create a scrolling effect on one of my MovieClips. In Javascript I'd simply create two divs, one positioned absolutely in the other, and have the surrounding one have the style 'overflow: none'. Now I want to achieve the same in ActionScript, as shown in the following picture:
When I try to set the size of the surrounding MovieClip the contents just get 'squashed'. I want it to stay the same and the parts outside of the 'rectangle to be hidden outside of the MovieClip.
