Actionscript 3.0 :: Make The Background Dark When External Swf Is Loaded?
Mar 1, 2009
I have a main stage (its a background image + buttons) and when I click a button, an external swf is loaded in the middle of the page, on the main stage.
I would like the main stage to become inactive, dark and blurry... (you know what I mean?)...every time I click a button and the the external swf appears. Then when I click on the blurry area (main Stage), the external swf disappears and the main Stage becomes normal and active again.
How could I do all that in AS 3?
All I have now is the code for the button, to open the external swf file:
Code: Select allcontacts.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Contacts);
function Contacts(e:MouseEvent):void {
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
[Code]....

I am trying to make a jigsaw puzzle where you can upload an image of a set size.Right now the only way I can think to do that would involve loading the same image for each piece, which I don't want to do for performance reasons.Is there a way I can make an instance of a movieClip the same as the instance of a different movieClip?

I have a full screen webpage with an elastic bg that is created mostly through AS, XML, and external .swf's. The main menu links to pages (other external .swf's with dynamically loaded content) that look sort of like popups over the graphic content of the main background (img2). There are two problems, 1) there are other buttons on the main page that the user can click when viewing a page and 2) the popups come down directly on the content and make the whole site look rather flat.
I am trying to create a background for each of the pages that has the same elastic qualities as the main page (so that no matter what it will cover the user's entire screen) and will disable all of the buttons beneath it. I tried adding a rectangle beneath the pages other layers, however any script I write for that mc (such as the onResize _mc.width and _mc.height or ._x and ._y) is completely ignored in the main timeline and the rectangle messes with the popup page position -- img3. Also the buttons beneath the rectangle are still active.

On one layer I have a gallery loading the content from an xml file. On the layer above I have two square blocks on either side of the screen, with a gap in the middle for where the main picture will be displayed. The two blocks are 50%percent alpha. This is because the gallery thats loaded, loads the images in a line, which is movable, whereby the user can click either the left or right image and the gallery moves along, displaying the next or previous image into the middle spot where there are no blocks shading it.

I want to make a dynamic textarea with loaded text from an external textfile, and then I want custom made arrow buttons to start scrolling the loaded text on mouseover (not click) andt stop scrolling on mouseout. Ala like in this webpage[url]...
The part with the loaded text is fine, but I can't manage to script the arrow buttons to do what I've just described. Even though I have searched the Internet for recipes I just find how to scroll loaded text on click or with a scrollbar

I've designed a Flash site in CS3 using Action Script 2.0 that has a main flash movie sorta floating in space over a gradient background. I want the gradient background to re-size with the browser, so I thought that the easiest way to do this would be to delete the gradient background in Flash and instead recreate the background in Dreamweaver using the repeat background option and then make the Flash movie's background transparent. (I hope I'm making some amount of sense here).
I've found a few tutorials on how to do this, but so far I just get a white background instead of transparent. I've tried choosing "Transparent - Windowless" under Window Mode on the HTML tab in Publish Settings. And I've tried selecting the movie from within DW and clicking the parameter button and adding a "wmode" parameter with "transparent" as its value.

how some websites you click on something, a flash window (I'm assuming it's a flash window) pops up and everything goes dark around it (and you can't click anywhere) until you close the window.

I'm tring to create a roll over effect. I have 4 Pictures: Let's Say A B C D. If I roll over A I want the other picture to have a transparent light box on top so it looks like A is the main focus. So if you roll over A the other pictures will turn dark and A will keep its color. I can do this by making A a symbol and then putting a transparent png dark box on top of B C D. That works. What doesn't work is when I go back to the original time frame and make B a button also. When I add the roll over effect, it only does it for that. Let me show you in pictures.
<---- that is the original
<---- When I roll over A
<---- When I roll over B
The last two are made using two different flash files. I can't put them together in one. If I put them together and roll over on A, It comes out like this.

I created these buttons that should do the following screen. Be dark when the mouse is not over them. Smoothly transit to a brighter colour when the mouse get's over them and then again smoothly transit to dark when the mouse get's away. To do so I created 2 animations the one that gets the button darker and the one that gets the button brighter (which is actually the normal picture of the button). The button statuses are these:
UP: Bright to Dark animation
OVER: Dark to Bright animation
DOWN: Bright picture
HIT: Bright picture
now the buttons work perfectly except for the fact that when i turn on the scene before they get dark the buttons have to go through the up animation (bright to dark) so it looks like turning all the lights off. How do i have my buttons start off being dark?

When watching a video on youtube you get a dark player But when you embed you get the standard light player
So,How can I change the embedded video to use the dark controls?
I know that I can view the source and copy the object for the video... but there has to be a more "official" way of doing this.

I've seen this being done before and I thought it would be easy, but got stumped when trying to replicate it.

I created a flash application which loads in many other little flash applications (.swf files) based on menu selections. When I change one of the little applications the changes are viewable except when I change the background color.
After the first time I view the application, the background color changes do not carry over to the main app. I run the little ones stand alone and they show the new color, then I run the main app and any other changes I have made are there but not the color change. When I remove the file and the load fails, the old backround color still displays in the container movie clip the .swf was previously loaded into.
I have tried several different options and the only thing that worked was renaming and copying and deleting and making a big mess. There has to be a way to force a refresh of this mysteriously saved color. doesn't there?

Basically what I've got is a XML loaded gallery as a background for a web page. Now the problem I can't seem to work out is, I want to be able to define which pictures in the gallery show up in different sections of the website. For example -
homepage - images 1.jpg, 2.jpg and 3.jpg are accessible.
About Us - images 4.jpg, 5.jpg and 6.jpg are accessible.
and so on.
Similar to what happens on [URL] but without the gallery popping up. It's relay bugging me now.

[URL]I have: main.swf (a menu) and I have module.swf (content)If you navigate to Subsea Wellhead Systems/SS-15 BigBore II and click on that I have it load an external swf which covers most of the parent. So far so good. My problem is unloading the loaded 'Child' swf with the button provided on the loaded 'Child' swf.below is the code I used to load the file but I cant, for the life of me, find a way to unload it.
var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();btnbb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);
function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void{var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("moduletemplate.swf"); bigboreLoader.load(bigboreRequest); stage.addChild(bigboreLoader);
I am certain it requires the Child to communicate with the parent somehow but I am at a loss. If I could get a bit of advice or a link to something deal with this, it would be a big help. I just need to have my links load my modules and the remove them when the close buttong is hit on the loaded swf. I promise I have done searches and I admit I have found asnwers but still they are not working. I found the code below:
Main FLA:
function removeF() {
removeChild(bigboreLoader);
}

I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

I want to fade in a background with a alpha tween after it's loaded in by an UILoader. Everything seems to be working great when I do a Test Movie (in Flash) or view it in IE. However, I encounter a problem when viewing in Firefox. Somehow the alpha does'nt come up to 1(100%). Sometimes my background image is barely visable and sometimes it's at ~90%. It seems to be completely random.
Quote:
//load random background (1 to 10)
var randomNumber:Number=Math.ceil(Math.random()*10);
trace(randomNumber);
[code]....
I've tried increasing the final value (Regular.easeOut,0,1,2,true) and this will change something but doesn't solve the problem. I've also tried instead of fading in the background to fade out a overlaying vectorshape, but same result.Is it possible it has something to do with other script/my background img size/??.

I have some preloader (timeline-based) content and some FLV's that I want the user to see while other content is loading in the background. The preloaded content and the FLV's are very choppy while the content is loading and run fine afterward. I initially thought this might be a RAM issue, but my other apps are running fine at the same time (YouTube, etc.) so I think it's an issue within my code or Flash Player. How do the really nice preloaders (animation on timeline OR FLV's) run so smoothly while background content is loaded? For example, are they independent SWF's? internalized classes exported for Actionscript? some other option I'm not privy to? Mine, for example, are internal classes in the main library that I have exported for AS.

I am loading in text from an XML file, and it loads in fine but I am getting a black box behind each of my letters in my text field. I tried to cancel it out by write the background = false; but it is not working. Does anyone know why this is happening? I have loaded in hundreds of .txt files and this has never happened, but this is my first time loading in XML txt, so I am not sure what to do?

I am creating a site where there is a portfolio section with icons for each piece of artwork.Regardless of which icon 1-10 is clicked, for the first time ONLY, I want to load a swf which "draws in" a portfolio "background", and another swf on a higher level which corresponds to the icon clicked (lets say a sample artwork).
However, if the user has previously clicked another portfolio icon and is currently viewing one of the portfolio pages, there is no need to load the "background" swf again (it would be tedious watching the drawing in animation over again).
I've designated a target container movieclip for each.The icons swf file with the buttons is another swf on the timeline.Is there some code which can check to see if the background swf is already loaded into its container? And in which swf would I attach the code?
