I am trying to tile a small mc instead of a bmp image and I was wondering if anyone knows what aspects of Lee's tutorial need to be changed to accomedate that?
[Code]...
I tried a couple of things and was not able to get the mc loaded onto the stage.
I'm trying to tile the background of a movieClip with a set of small squares, called grid. However, the script only attaches on instance of grid. I don't understand why this is. Below is my code exert:
[Code]...
I'm coding in actionscript 3 - the functionality is: large image loaded at runtime. The bitmapData is stored and a smaller version is created to display on the available screen area (I may end up just scaling the large image since it is in memory anyway).The user can create a rectangle hotspot on the smaller image (the functionality will be more complex: multiple rects with transparency: example a donut shape with hole, etc)
3 When the user clicks on the hotspot, the rect of the hotspot is mapped to the larger image and a new bitmap "callout" is created, using the larger bitmap data. The reason for this is so the "callout" will be better quality than just scaling up the area of the hotspot.The image below shows where I am at so far- the blue rect is the clicked hotspot. In the upper left is the "callout" - copied from the larger image. I have the aspect ratio right but I am not mapping to the larger image correctly.[code].....
Image of tile only shows once, how can I make it show more than once with my newTile MoiveClip object?

Actionscript Code:
import myPackage.GameBoard;var Map1:Array = [[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
[1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1], [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1],
[1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]];
var Game1:GameBoard = new GameBoard(30, 30);
Game1.setTile(1, waterTile); Game1.setTile(0, dirtTile);
Game1.buildMap(Map1); addChild(Game1);

I am using Flex Builder 3.0 and i want to add image in tile list dynamically then how its possible.Images are stored in Images folder of src. and my array is similar like that.
private var arrImage:Array = [
{source:"Images/1.png",tooltip:"1"},
{source:"Images/2.png",tooltip:"2"},
[code].....
an image is smaller than the stage, is it possible to tile it?
View 3 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;

If possible I would like to tile an image or MovieClip along a line using the standard moveTo() and lineTo() methods, The lines are directional so need to show something similar to >>>>>>>>>>>>>. The lines can be at any angle, so using drawRect() with beginBitmapFill() isn't an option. Also if possible I would like to have the lines animated. Is this possible or will it require a custom class?
View 1 RepliesI want to create a tile map and my fla is 600 x 400. Now I create 7x7 Sprites (Size 40x40) and I want them to be in the middle of the scene with text around (not in the map!). One way is do update the sprite containers, but this isn't "smoothly", I wanna scroll the content, when a new raw appears.
View 0 RepliesIs 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 2 RepliesI am using a horizontal tilelist in flex to display an image gallery with only one item in horiz. tilelist being shown at a time. I have next and previous buttons on both sides. The problem is I want to display a particular item/image in that list when user clicks on a thumb image from another thumbimages tilelist at bottom. I used someTilelist.selectedIndex property but it just selects that particular index in list, it does not show that particular item/image. I want the list to show that particular image, not just select it. Please take note that the horiz. tilelist shows only one image at time.

When i load images with a transparent background it gives the image a white background is there any way to get the image to be transparent? [coded]...
Do any one have idea of copying only a small portion of a image, further it could be made as mc. Or any other method to do this in as3? Not manually breaking the image and convert as mc.
View 3 Replieshow can i take a small .gif image and show it as a background image that stretched on the entire stage? how can i do this using actionscript 3.0?
View 6 RepliesI started using AS3. At the moment I'm working on a project with (small) image galleries. When you roll over a small image, there's a larger version showing up, and the thumb changes also. You can also click the image, and then a lightbox effect pops up. To achieve this, I'm using the following script, which works fine:
Code:
img1ro.visible = false;
cl1.visible = false;
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, over1);
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, out1);
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,lightbox1);
function over1(event:MouseEvent):void {
[Code] .....
But I was wondering if there's an easier way to add images. At the moment, I copy-paste the script, and have to change the numbers according to the number of images. Is it possible to put the images in an array or something like that?
I need to first express that I'm a fully self-taught Flash designer. No one has ever sat down and tried to explain to me the DOs and DONTs about Flash. I have followed tutorials, books, and anything else I can get my hands on, but never a person. People of Flash seem to be very hard to find, in my personal experience.I am the most comfortable with Photoshop, knowing very little about Illustrator or Fireworks.That said, I have been asked to create a 45KB (yikes!) max file, rotating 3 .jpg images I created from other .jpgs given to me. The images are usually large, so I am given room to compress them for a 300px x 250 px stage.
However, these images are always my biggest culprit for my huge file size. I'll import them in, making them into Graphic Symbols, but nothing seems to prevent the enourmous file size.When given the raw images, I would throw them into Photoshop, make the files the correct 300x250 size. Then I have tried: saving the image at the best resolution in .jpg and .png form, and then I tried saving the images as low-as-I-could-stomach quality. I hardly see a difference with file size when they are imported into Flash and used.I was told to use Fireworks's Optimize function, which I did, but it made my .swf even biggerWhen I have my Flash piece all set up/animted as I want, but I need to replace the bitmap(.jpg/.png) photos, I will:right click on the bitmap to get properties, "upload" the new image to be used, adjust the Quality, having "Allow smoothing" unclicked.
I understand I should make as much of the graphics in Flash as I can, instead of Import, but I am primarily given photographs to use.Seeing what my previous peers have done is mind-puzzling, but they are not around, so I cannot ask them for their advice. Their files are under 45KB and look sharp and amazing:[URL]

View 1 RepliesI have recently launched a site for a client which includes an interactive flash element on the home page but it takes a long time to load (10-30seconds). I have followed advice from others about keeping image small and link movies rather than embed but still slow, the swf file is about 7.9mb which i thought was ok for the size of flash file. Does anyway else know where I have gone wrong whether it be the embedding or some other area.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to code a click-and-point adventure game for a class, in which interactive objects glow when you mouse over them.... In the frame I have the background image (in which there is, say, a drawer), and an image of the drawer glowing placed exactly over top of that. The glow image is invisible until you mouse over it, at which point it is supposed to become visible (and disappear upon mouseout). I have the mouseover function linked to the entire glow image (which is a movieclip), but it only seems to work when you mouseover a specific portion of the image (usually a corner). The code looks something like this:
ActionScript Code:
DeskDrawer.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, drawerLightUp);
function drawerLightUp(e:MouseEvent){
DeskDrawer.alpha = 100;
}
when the glow-image is moused over, it moves upward slightly and a small amount of whitespace appears at the top of the image.
I'm making a small Flash game, which is rotating rings in an image to create a coherent picture. Think of the puzzles in Assassins Creed.I have three scenes set up, one with the puzzle, one with a fade to white transition, and one with a congratulatory screen.
I have this code to check if the orientation of the rings match, but I'm really new to actionscript so I'm not sure if it's right or not.
function orientationCheck()
{
if (center.orientation == 0 && ring1.orientation == 0 && ring2.orientation == 0 && ring3.orientation == 0 && ring4.orientation == 0)
[code]....
Unfortunately it keeps playing through the movie and not giving the player time to solve the puzzle.
when the mouse rolls over an image, text appears (in a small rectangle) and it moves with the mouse, only while it is still over the image.
Or at least, does anyone know what this is called or how to do it?
I am pulling external images, I have my main image, and five small images, I have that to make the small images when click to appear in the place of the main image, but I am not obtaining to make they to click, I am placing my archive who to want to make download
View 2 RepliesI'm making a strategy game the uses a tile map to show information about the other players! Every tile is 50*50px and when you start the map it loads about 50 tiles and puts them together (all this from a Flash->ASP->MySQL which i managed to do on my own)
What i need to do is to make the map draggable (kinda like maps.google.com) and make every tile clickable! I can't manage to do both of these things at the same time All the tiles are in a movieclip called mapMc so by creating a big button above the visible map area and write:
ActionScript Code:
on (press) {
allSize = _global.fullMapSize/2; //This gets the size of the map after all tiles have loaded[code].....
And that kinda works (except for the boundaries)Second, when you press a tile, which i stupidly constructed as another button, so every tile is a button (loaded dynamically) with as that fetches the tile information (already fixed ) But how do I combine them?
i no i will use the bitMap draw function and push each 1 into a array in order. but im unsure on how to separate 1 image into seprate 1s. can any1 just give me a quick knolage burst. as soon as im told how to ill be fine coding it just getting my head araound the math(not my strongest subject, bad i no).
View 3 RepliesI am wokring on a movie and I want to tile a movieclip instead of a bitmap in AS3. I have figured out masking and the bitmap tiling in AS3, but am still encountering trouble finding a good solution for simply tiling an MC symbol across a set width and height in AS3.
View 7 RepliesI want to put an array of objects into a grid. I know the code is simple but somehow I'm not getting what I want.
Code:
const PADDING:Number = 10:
const COL:Number = Math.floor(Math.sqrt(tiles.length);
const ROW:Number = Math.floor(Math.sqrt(tiles.length);
for(var i:int = 0; i< COL; i++) {
var tile:TileSprite = tiles[i];
tile.x = i * tile.width + PADDING;
for(var j:int = 0; j < ROW; j++) {
tile.y = j * tile.height + PADDING;
}}
Notes:
- The array is declared else where as a public variable
- This is to be part of a game engine I'm building so I want it as flexible as possible
- The tiles as reading their properties for an XML file. But I don't want to use the XML to hard code the tiles' positions.

View 4 RepliesI'm working on this little game and I want a movieclip to appear when hovered over, disappear when the mouse leaves the movieclip, and the visibility should equal false by default.
I have tried almost all the MOUSE_OVER, MOUSE_DOWN, MOUSE_OUT stuff and I already have it so when its hovered over, it appears and when its hovered out, it disappears.. I can't seem to make it invisible by default though.
Here's my code, if its needed.
Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
exit2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, manageMouseOver);
exit2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, manageMouseOut);
