I've designed the background of a clients website so that images shift right and down and fade out but i'm noticing a problem involving the image animations. When the images are moving across the screen, they ripple, or pixelate and it looks really odd, can someone help understand how to fix this.
View 2 RepliesHere's what I have:
I have it setup where you can choose multiple galleries to look at. It starts with a square image that is a movieclip. Inside that, it has the words Gallery1, Gallery 2, etc. Each of those words is a movieclip. Inside each movieclip is a XML gallery setup. So by clicking on "Gallery1" for example, it loads the images for that gallery, and buttons for previous and next image appear. The gallery works fine, except that I also have a button for returning to the gallery selection part. The return button works in the sense that it does go back to the gallery selection part. The problem is that it doesnt clear out the current XML gallery image.
The different galleries are there underneath, because they can be clicked on at that point. It just doesnt clear out whatever the last image was.
I'm working on a game whose background has many layers that each scroll at different speeds.
Inside each layer I have a Sprite, I've started using graphics.beginBitmapFill, but what I've found is that the graphics.clear() function doesn't actually clear the contents set by the previous call to graphics.begin.BitmapFill. Each frame, I adjust the matrix to shift the layer as needed. Then, I call graphics.clear() and graphics.beginBitmapFill() with the adjusted matrix. Since my layers have alphas in the bitmap, I can see the contents that was drawn the previous frame.

doesnt clear the line when mc1 moved ? How solve tihs problem?
I have a flash file, which is a header for a website. I inherited it from my company's previous webmaster. I was looking through the library items & see alot of images & graphics that I don't see in the finished product on the webpage. The guy worked really sloppy so it's possible there's alot of unused items. Is there anyway to easily tell which items are not used in the final exported flash file so I can clean it up?
View 2 RepliesI'm new to the forums here and new to AS3 (I have some AS2 experience, and lots of general programming experience).nd I've made a few tweaks, including most significantly, fading out and killing particles after a certain amount of time. But I have a problem: I can't figure out why some of my particles live longer than they should.In more detail:In particles.as, for each dust particle that gets generated, the fadeOut function should get called after half a second, and when that tween is done, the killParticle function should get called. This seems to work for most particles but every now and then a few particles will stick around (i.e. the fadeOut function won't get called)Watch the animation: linkOh, and I'd love to know if there's anything I can do to increase performance as well. This is pretty cpu-heavy right now.All my .fla file does is include particles.as. See code below.particles.as

import fl.transitions.Tween;

It seems that my 4 buttons aren't linking correctly or something.I'm linking with labels, like this:
Code:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("intro");
}
The links go like this: Home, Photos, About Us, Contact Us.Here's what's wrong:
1.) If I click on About Us from the homepage, it goes to Photos instead.
2.) If I click on Photos while I'm on the Photos page, it goes to some unknown frame before the photos label, and stops where I don't even have a stop placed.
I made a drop down menu following the tutorial here. My problem is that the drop down buttons don't link to the respective scenes. Their rollover states work.
When I work on the drop down menu movie clip directly from the library, the button links work.[code]...
I am trying to make a Flash lyrics with music following this tutorial: url...I know nothing about creating Flash animation but I have been following it to the letter. So, I start up Flash CS5, press F9 to get into AS3 command box. Then, I paste the code (lyrics.xml and mp3 is already prepared). However, I am getting compiler errors:[code]What do I have to do to make this work? Is there any easier tutorial for lyrics in Flash?
View 10 RepliesI have an object (button) on frame 2 of my timeline, with the name btnMenu. When clicked, i want to return to frame 1 in the timeline. Actionscript 3 does not allow me to bind the eventlistener to the button from my code on frame 1.Layout:layer 1: Actions, only on frame 1layer 2: btnMenu, only on frame 2 (with an empty frame in front)Code:
stop(); // don't automatically go to frame 2
btnMenu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function() { gotoAndStop(1); }
(and other code to go to frame 2 obviously)The error i get is "can't find method/property of object that is null" (roughly translated).
I'm trying to compile an SWC file and everything works great until the part where it needs to add components, none of them added added to the .swc file at all.
The original file should be somewhere around 211 KB and when i compile it its only 1.64 KB, after unpacking the .swc and then the .swf inside it i can see that there is no components added at all.
BTW some components showing some errors but i dont think its a reason to not include ALL the components because the errors are like:
Description Resource Path Location Type
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before leftbrace. XXX.as /XXX/[source path] src/com/XXX line 1469 Flex Problem
What could the problem be? ask me if you need some future info cause i don't really know what to include in here cause there is no code it's only a project with a library.
What to use when 32 bit ints or even 53 bit Numbers arent large enough by far? Im thinking of just using a 256 bit array but theres prolly a better way.
View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash Pro 8 and I'm attempting to incorporate events into some of my classes and I'm having nothing but problems. After looking at lots of examples, this all seems okay, but doesn't work. First is the class code and secondly is the code on the timeline.
ActionScript Code:
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class iaicu.mycampus.ClassSchedule {[code].....
Keep in mind that these classes are more elaborate, so events are intended to be more useful.
i have 2 fields and if these fields arn't filled in and the user hits submit i need a popup window to appear and just say "sorry you must complete the form to continue"yet when i try this it just keeps going to the next frame instead of showing the popup menu :S:SThis code is on my submit button here is my code so far:
Code:
if (fname != "" && email != "") {
status = "Begin Login Process - Wait...";
loadVariablesNum("reglogin.php", 0, "POST");
//loadVariablesNum("register2.php", 0, "POST");

I have 6 variables that load into 6 different dynamic text boxes. They all load fine when I load them, but only the first one updates after 6 seconds. I have them all set to update after 6 seconds. Here is the code that is working fine followed by the code that isn't. I'm using CS5.5
1st Box that works fine:
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
myText_txt.text = this.myVariable;

Last night I was working on my flash file and I must have changed some setting that has caused all of my buttons, movie clips and graphics to disappear from my Flash CS4 stage. Instead, it shows each instance's actionscript registration on the screen with a small circle. The instances are still there and show up when exported, but I can't see them while I'm editing the file. The static text and basic grapics are fine. Does anyone have an idea what setting might be causing this? I've tried multiple .fla files and had the same problem with all of them.

I have made a very simple swf in which I have a MovieClip which I have rotated on the stage. When I try to access this rotationX and rotationY properties of this clip using the constructor of the class assigned to this MovieClip they are coming back as 0 even though they shouldn't be. If I put an on rollover event of the MovieClip and trace out these properties here I get the correct values.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code].....
I also get the correct values when I read the values from the stage timeline.
trace ("TEST "+testMC.rotationX+" "+testMC.rotationY); //returns correct value
Is there a specific event I need to be waiting for which will tell me when the 3d properties are available via ActionScript?
Recently downloaded Powerflash (FDT) to compare with Flash Builder, but it doesn't seem to cleverly colour the MXML code, nor provide me with predictive text. Is that only for action script files?
View 1 RepliesOur creative team produces SWF animations in the Flash CS5 authoring tool that we (the engineers) load at runtime into a project built using the Flex SDK. Animations that don't use the "3D rotation tool" work just fine.
Animations that use the 3D rotation tool give the following behavior:
MovieClips that have 3D tweens applied using the 3D rotation tool show up in the top-left corner of the stage as if they had no transform at all (i.e. as if their Matrix3D was being ignored, and their Matrix was identity) MovieClips that have normal 2D tweens animate properly Alpha and other non-affine properties tween properly
Both 3D and non-3D animations play fine when loaded by themselves in a browser tab or the standalone flash player. 3D is only broken when loaded into our code generated SWF.
So it seems that for MovieClips with 3D transformations applied in the CS5 authoring environment, those transformations aren't being applied / respected when the SWF is loaded by our code SWF.
This is my first foray into 3D, so I'm not sure what could be causing this, but here's what I've tested / checked / tried, all to no avail:
I've ensured that actionscript 3 and Flash Player 10 / 10.1 is selected in the authoring environment. I've tried loading animations into code SWFs built using Flex 4.1, 4.5, and 4.6 at Flash player versions 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and 11 I've applied Matrix3D to the containers that load the SWF animations, both identity and rotated. I can see the rotated containers do work with 3D in perspective, so I know that my code SWF is 3D capable.
An object has been attached. The object is then tweened starting from a large number and going to a small number. Except my tweens aren't working. From the trace statements, my objects are shown to end up being to x=-20.55 and y=-107373766.65.

Here's the actionscript.
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest()/employee_slideshow_datalayer1.txt");

I have a text input box on a site i'm currently building. Problem is, when testing it, some letters don't register as being pressed (and no, its not my keyboard before you ask hehe).
The letters which don't show up are, "B,C,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,Q,T,U,V,X,Y,Z". In fact, the only letters that are recognized and displayed when I type into it are: "A,D,O,P,R,S,W".
I have one function that for some reason, isn't calling the next function. I've been looking over this code all day and I feel like it's probably going to be something really small and stupid but I jsut really need help at this point. The function that isn't working is showUsers().
This is my code:
Code:
import fl.controls.*;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import fl.managers.StyleManager;

im using this code:
Code:
Stage.align = "BR";
var stageListener: Object = new Object();
stageListener.onResize = positionContent;

..to fix the position of my MC, but the parameter "BR" (and all others) aren't effecting. My mc always shows up in the bottom right corner.
im having a problem with my input text fields on my site. I have a contact form swf loading into my main swf and for some reason when its loaded in the text fields arent selectable. when i test the form swf by itself it works fine.
View 1 RepliesThe code works fine, but I am getting unexpected results; the array seems to be shared across multiple instances of the same class? I've coded an example to highlight what is happening:
Code:
import myClass;
var instance:Array = new Array();
instance[0] = new myClass;
[Code].....
keep all objects/arrays separate across multiple instances of the class.
I have a scrolling MC that moves L&R according to the mouse position L+R of center and I need to create a hit area using actionScript's hitTest so that it stops scrolling when you aren't over it.
