create an effect that loads a fullscreen background image that changes according to the navigation selection. The background will be replaced everytime the navigation is activated
View 1 RepliesI'm working on an application in Flash CS5.5. I've been working with the code snippets, and the template that deals with keeping an accelerometer-controlled movieclip on stage. That works great. However, I'm trying to find a solution having a larger than the stage sized background be controlled by the accelerometer, but stop moving once it reaches the edges of the movieclip. So, it would move all the way to the right until the edge of the movieclip, then stop. Below is the code sample that I've been trying to manipulate (from the included template that keeps the ball movieclip from going off-stage).
import flash.events.Event;
var accelX:Number;
var accelY:Number;
var fl_Accelerometer:Accelerometer = new Accelerometer();
fl_Accelerometer.addEventListener(AccelerometerEvent.UPDATE, fl_AccelerometerUpdateHandler);
function fl_AccelerometerUpdateHandler(event:AccelerometerEvent):void {

I have a simple single main timeline for the website with 6 navigation buttons. Each button sending the playhead to a label keyframe (the site has 6 'pages'). I converted 6 photos to movie clips and added one to each of the 6 labels as a full page background. To each movieclip photo, I have added a fade in blur using one of the FLASHeff effects so when a nav button is clicked, the background fades/blurs in, I have given each background 20 frames to allow the blur to fully complete.
Now all that works as expected... but now the fun begins... what I would like to do is that when a navigation button is clicked, whichever of the 6 backgrounds is currently showing will fade/blur out first before the new background photo fades in. I could do this with 36 (the total combination of transitions with 6 photos and 6 buttons). A bit of an ugly solution!
Here is the code I have for the buttons:
teamBt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseTeamHandler);function mouseTeamHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay("team");}
My question is: Is there a more elegant and dare I say, sexy actionscript 3 way to do all this and hopfully still be able to use flasheff for the blur effect?
I had better get up to speed using actionscript 3 to save myself further forum embarrassment.
New to this forum, but was wondering if the moving background on this site [URL] is actionscript or just an animation. It looks very cool. I wanted to use the same effect for a school project I'm working on, I am using MX 2004.
View 4 RepliesI have visited the [URL]. I like the most of the things in this site but the only thing which really amazed me is the navigation bar. On mouse over the menu the background picture transition take place. I guess there are three pictures, and they are doing it with the Action script.

And above it I want to insert loop video with (i.e.) walking man.So, can I embed video (without flash and any player controls) in page?Can I decode video with transparent background? Is there any codecs which support transparent background (alpha-channel)?

View 2 RepliesI'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.
trying to print a movieclip with a white backgroundwhile keeping the stage background black.The movieclip,printResults_mc has a white rectangle in the bottom layer, 850pixels x 1100 pixels. The following function scales printResults_mcto the printers printable area but because isimpossible to predict the aspect ratio of the printable area someblack background always leaks out. I tried making the whitebackground 20 pixels larger than I need (870 x 1120) and thensetting a crop rectangle in addPage of (10,10,850,1100), no luck,the black stage background just fills in the area outside the crop.A simple solution would be to temporarily set the stage backgroundcolor property to white, print, then set it back to black, but I

View 7 RepliesI have converted a large background image (much larger than the stage) into a Movie Clip. I did this so I can make it scroll as the player traverses to the edge of the scene.This appears to make the player free to roam the entire background image.I have a tree symbol with a class attached to it that blocks player movement.Here is my problem:
When I drag and drop instances of the tree symbol onto the background, the trees are stationary and do not scroll with the background.I do not want to have to implement code to make the trees scroll when the background does.I was wondering if there was a way to simply attach the trees to the background so that if the background moves, the trees move with it and appear to be part of the background as if they were drawn into it.It is convenient for me to be able to drag and drop as many trees as i need to block certain routes on the background from the player.I tried writing code to make the trees move but it was only working for the very last tree that I added to the scene.
I really don't know much about flash or swf files but in updating my portfolio I came across Polaroid gallery. I have managed to update the background jpeg with my own picture and remove the fade effect. However in the original program the background was tileable so when seen in a full screen browser looked fine. As my picture is not tileable I would like to know if it is possible to scale the background or the whole swf object without tiling the background.
View 1 RepliesI am relatively new to Flash CS3 and i have been learning Action-script 3 over the past week. I have come quite a long way and i have made a site in flash but i just have a question.I have been using an image as my background and i am happy with the way flash automatically scales all the objects in my file but the background image does not scale. Is there a way to do this? I have found out things online which show me how to add auto-resizing to the background but this knocks off the flash auto scaling/resizing for everything else.
View 4 RepliesI have a series of background MCs, all different coloured gradients (pretty!), and a series of corresponding buttons elsewhere on the stage. On a press of each button I would like the corresponding background MC to come to the top of the pile of backgrounds, then fade in above the previous background. The background that was previously on top, needs to stay next-to-top.If the corresponding background is already at the top of the pile, then nothing needs to happen.
At the moment I am using swapDepths(1) which brings the target to the top no problem, but it may also send the previous top layer MC way down the pile.This is what I'm doing at the moment:
on (release) {
if (_root.BG.colour2.getDepth()<=0) {
_root.BG.colour2._alpha = 0;[code].....

I have a main FLA which is a flip book (the one like you click or drag the corner and will flip the page to the next one). And I have a swf background (a dynamic swf with floating bubbles which will move following your cursors).
I tried to embed the swf background in a container and then put it to my main Flash file (the flip book). It works fine but once I click the Full Screen button, the main contain (i.e. the flip book) is still aligned to the Top Left corner.
I tried many times by changing the codes such as removing the line "stage.align = "TL"" but it still doesn't work.I am trying to complete 4 tasks:
1) To align the main content (flip book) to the center of the screen no matter in "Normal" or "Full Screen" modes
2) To add the swf dynamic background to the back but still the flipbook will be aligned in the center without any changes (no matter "Normal" or "Full Screen" modes)
3) Add a button to toggle Full Screen mode but the flip book will be kept in the absolute center of the screen
4) Right click the flash and will show a pop-up menu. If I click "designed by:", the whole screen will turn black (both "Normal" and "Full Screen" modes)
I try to list out the codes I have:
Toggle Full Screen
Code:
Stage.scaleMode="noScale";

Something like the following:

I'm doing this in an effort to make viewing a product catalogue better to view on dial-up, basically the next image should load in the background while the current one is being loaded.
I was thinking of making an object for each clip, although I'm getting a little lost on this, its late and I need to get to bed, so I thought I'd throw it up on here and see if anyone has any ideas!
Basically, right now the previous/next buttons aren't dissapearing when they should be and the previous image doesn't appear to be cached (needs to be tested in a browser to see this)

View 4 Replies- From my XML file an array is created with several background images
- The first image gets randomly loaded into a BitmapData and is attached to the first movieclip for smoothing. After that the movieclip gets proportionally scaled to fit the Stage.
- After an interval (set in the XML) the second image gets randomly loaded into a BitmapData and is attached to the second movieclip with a nice fade-in effect. After that the movieclip gets proportionally scaled to fit the Stage and the movieclips swap their depths.
- The third image gets loaded into a BitmapData and is attached to the first movieclip again.
etc etc etc.

I'm trying to have a dynamic text field with a black background. I want the text to be of fixed width, but expandable height, and for the background to grow with the text field depending on the input. I looked at the "autoSize" property for TextField, but it looks like that only adjusts the width.
Some "pseudocode" for your consideration:
rolloverInfoBox.infoTextTitle.text="Title";
rolloverInfoBox.infoTextBody.text="Text body...";
rolloverInfoBox.infoTextBody.autoSize=true; // doesn't work; just for reference
rolloverInfoBox.expandableBackground.height=rollov erInfoBox.infoTextBody.height;
I am trying to style text in a dynamic text field with a background color (not the whole textfield background, but just of the text - like the effect when you select it). My textfield is on top of a photo, which might explain why I'm trying to do this.

I'm trying to avoid useing a button to send the number from A to B, and instead am trying to use an event listener that sends the number when A loads background.jpg; but the number never gets sent (I start with B open already, and then open A). I've gotten this to work with an onRelease event for a button , so i know the LocalConnection coding works, but as I said I want to avoid using a button to send the number. I'm sure it's right in front of me but i've got no clue why it isn't working, so I defer to wiser minds.
