ActionScript 3.0 :: White Stage Area On Upload Of Slideshow?
Dec 12, 2010
I am completing a basic web design class, and have one question for this community.I uploaded several intro slide shows onto a black background. They work fine, but take awhile to load (once viewed and go back-they load much quicker). While waiting to load, the stage area is white. However when I created them, I made sure the stage area was black. Any suggestions as to what I might do to correct this? I just think it would look much better if everything was black until the show appears.The shows were created in Flash CS 4 (ActionScript 3.0), & the site was created in Dreamweaver CS 4.

I found a tutorial online to do a Image Slideshow. [URL]. But, I can not get anything to work. I am new to this and unfortunately do not have time to do any formal training right now. Probably when this project is done. When I "test movie" I just get a white screen w/ nothing on it. I should be getting a box 500x500 w/ a box that is 400x400 for my frame. I just finished step 3, and I do not get my frame box like a should.
Here is what my .xml document says: <slideshow width="400" height="400" speed="5"> <image url="images/1.jpg" /> <image url="images/2.jpg" /> <image url="images/3.jpg" /> .....
And here is the action script. var myShowXML = new XML(); myShowXML.ingoreWhite = true; myShowXML.load("slideshow.xml"); myShowXML.onLoad = function() { [Code] .....
I have a slideshow that is set up to run on an LCD screen. The problem is the slideshow turns to a white screen when left running overnight. I would like the slideshow to continuously play without having to do a browser refresh each day. I am thinking there is some build up of memory that is causing the problem. I have a loop to continually check my xml file to see if anything has been updated.
Forgetting about my last post: This code currently makes it so each picture will fade from white. What I'm trying to do is make the slideshow so that each picture transitions into each other, instead of from white.
p = 0;this.onEnterFrame = function() { filesize = picture.getBytesTotal(); loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded(); if (picture._alpha<100) { picture._alpha += 10; }};[code].....

I have developed a Flash slideshow that loads 6 images from the web server using an xml loader (the image names are in anxml file), then loads these images into an array. I have an xmlloader to read the xml file, and a Loader that loads the images from the array,and then changes the images every 4 secs or so.
My problem is that when the web page is opened from a client, the space where the flash object is located (in a table)flashes white until the images are loaded. I thought I could fix the problem by making the stage the same color as the background on the web page. No dice, I still see a white box (800x320 px) that is the size of the stage, and the size of the images.When I compile it on my computer, if I look fast I can see a quick flash of white just before the images load!I did not develop the page, but put the Flash code in the index.html page.There is quite a lot of javascript on this page, maybe developed in Dreamweaver.I can attach the action script code if desired, for more clarification. Let me know on this.Basically, the images reside in a folder on the web server, the xml file has the image names, the xml loader reads the xml file,and when it is complete, goes to a routine that takes the name of the image from an xml list I create, and then loads an array.I load the image into the loader, etc. This is clearer with the code. I am using CS4 and a document class, slides.as.
I currently have a button that triggers an event merging the movieclips on stage into one sprite, and passing it to a printer class. The printer class looks as follows:
ActionScript Code: public class Printer { private static var printJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob(); private static var printJobOptions:PrintJobOptions = new PrintJobOptions();
[Code]....
The problem is that when clicking the button, the stage gets a white rectangle in the upper left corner that can't be removed!
I've got an application which gives the viewer the capability to create a design then further customize it with their own art, i.e. a logo, which can be a .jpg, .gif or .png. I may narrow the file options down, but right now I'm finding when one prints this design (I have a "print" button as well) any transparent .png file that's in this design prints out with a white "box" that is obviously the canvas on which said .png was designed.
Using Flash CS4 trial I am trying to make a banner on one time line.I have 6 photos on one time line with a right to left motion tween, and I would like it to repeat it without the white space of the stage appearing inbetween instances.I have tried it with two time lines also, but to no avail.Basically I would like it to repeat picture 1 again from the right side of the stage directly after picture 6 has left the left hand side of the stage without white space.
Also have problems selecting the bez curve, to drag a motion, so far I find if I create a key frame at the end of the timeline and click a couple of times on the mouse (not consistant) then hold the left mouse button down for a few seconds it some times turns the white circle green, then I can move it? but as I said not very consistant.
I have my flash doc. and I used a mask to give it rounded corners but you can still see the stage color. I am new to flash so I can use the help. How do I get rid of this or can you even do this?
I currently have an small animation job that involves an enormous zoom out. To do this I need to scale the symbol containing all the animation out in the main timeline, from extremely close to quite far away.
I have two problems that are preventing me from doing this satisfactorily.
Firstly, the transform panel doesn't work. Specifically, entering scale values only seems to work beween 0 and 100%, anything larger gives unpredictable results.
Second, the symbol has become too large for the work area (I have zoomed out as far as I can go) - how can this area to spread out to the whole of the graphic editing area, instead of the third of it that is on the left side?
For example, I have used the Free Transform tool and scaled the item up 2500%, and now it's too big for the limited work area. To scale it further, or scale it back, I need to enter scale amounts into the Transform panel. After doing this, the figures I enter turn into arbitrary other values and my symbol either warps or disappears entirely.
Ideally, I should be able to look at the stage itself, click on the symbol, scale it in the Transform panel to 3000% and be done with it.
Once again i'm a bit lost XD. The deal is, that i'm making a dynamic "blog like" news viewer, so, when i got more than 2 news (sometimes even with one), all the rest of the news get out of the stage and are not seen.
I have been reading methods about changing the stage size but the question is here, if i manage to change the stage size, all the content will be scaled too, isn't it? That's exactly what i don't want.
then, how do i change the "view area" of the stage.
I have a mini-game where I have three movieclips:The player (controlled by mouse); A random object that moves around the stage (like the arkanoid ball without the paddle and the blocks); A simple power up.The game is simple: hitting the power up increases your scoreThe game ends when the object hits the player.The question is:How can I spawn the power-up (randomly) on the stage area, every time the player hits it?When that happens I want the following events to occur:1) The power-up to be removed;2) Increase the score by 1.3) Place a new power up randomly on the stage.4) Rinse and repeat.
I was at a friend's house and wanted to show him our website. When I navigated to it, about 10% of the area outside of the stage was visible. It was almost as if the swf had been shrunk by 10%, but still within the stage area (750px x 600px). I'm not sure what's causing it, but I've seen it happen once before with a computer here at our office.
It always seems to happen with Internet Explorer. When we right-clicked on the swf and choose "show all" it filled the area and looked normal. I've never encoutered the problem using Firefox and only some of the time when using Internet Explorer. Not sure if it just happens with a certain version of IE or what.[URL]..
I would like to export a specific area of the stage. So, for example. My stage is 400 x 400 and I would like to export only 100 x 100 of the stage at xy 0 pos.
I want to load some mcs randomly on the stage, except for a footer area at the bottom of the stage. Is there a way to exclude just a certain part of the stage using something like Math.random()*Stage and then specifying the bottom 300 pixels as off limits?
I'm using the whole stage because the swf is embedded 100% across the browser, so I can't restrict the dimensions.
Code: onClipEvent (load) { x = this._x=Math.random()*Stage.width; y = this._y=Math.random()*Stage.height; }
how to speed up the workspace when there happens to be a large amount of text on the stage? I have tried everything I can think of (even choosing outlines only for the layer). It seems to slow down my system even if the layer is not visible. Now doing anything is a chore. I have a pretty fast system, and it's pretty bad that after all these flash iterations I still can't have text on the stage and continue work.
I am trying to distort a bitmap, I mean, I have this bitmap in the main stage and I want to drag a section to. I don't know, maybe drag the eye of the character in the picture but I want all the bitmap to react or at least the closest region of the point I am dragging. Is that possible? I know the drawTriangles() that is been use to gave this 3D effect, but I need something different.
I know we can track when the mouse has left the stage area in AS3.
But, can it reset a button that would have stayed in its "on" state?
My swf will be embedded in a web page, there are 24 buttons all around its border, and as soon as the mouse leaves the stage, they stay "on", so I want to reset them to the initial state.
I have a Flash interaction where I exchange the cursor for a hand holding a flashlite mc. The entire stage is black. The cursor drags a mask around that illuminates a small image in another mc on the stage that the user has to find (illuminate).2 problems
1. When the mouse is rolled outside the stage, the custom cursor is still visible.
2. When imported into Captivate 3, and I move outside the stage and over buttons for navigation, the cursor is no longer visible, for the rest of the Captivate movie.
Desired functionality:Custom cursor to be visible only when on the stage area and the normal cursor to be visible outside the stage area. The stage area is 400x330.[code]
I have a custom cursor in my Flash document. Now that it is all set up, I want to specify an area that it can be in and nowhere else. Basically, I want to keep it in my navigation area on the top of the stage and not be able to go below it to the rest of the stage.I don't know if it will help or not, but I have the following as my custom cursor code:[code]
