I am struggling to find a way to animate a fill of text in Flash CS4. The concept I am looking for is that over a time period have the color rise from the bottom to the top. My initial attempt was to have 2 objects, one filled with the color and the other filled with white. I was hoping to just adjust the borders of the object or text to have it disappear, but that just reshapes the object, not cropping it. If you know how to crop into objects and reveal the object beneath, let me know.
I am very new to Flash so hopefully it is a simple answer, but I am not seeing it yet.
I've created a colour palette and given each colour a unique number and name (E.g. V123 Plum, V456 Ruby). Also the colour names is being loaded from a mysql database.
When the name of the colour is loaded in to a dynamic box , I want to fill an object in that colour.
var mycol1 = V123 Plum;V123 Plum = "0xFF6600"colorchange.setRGB(mycol1); var mycol2 = V456 Ruby; V123 Plum = "0xFFCC00"colorchange.setRGB(mycol2);
Is there a simple way to animate the color of an object using actionscript in Flash?I found a simple way in Flex,it uses the spark.effects.AnimateColor class.I try to find something similar to Flash,is there a way or a library that i can use,or can i somehow use the Flex libraries?[code]...
I have a movieclip containing a vector drawing, can I dynamically change the color of the fill and line in AS2, or do I need to use setRGB and divide the movieclip?
I'm trying to make a preloader in which a grayscale logo fills with color based on the number of frames loaded. What I've done is make a static grayscale version of the logo named border and a colored in version on top of it named LoadBar.I have this code in frame 1,
I am new to flash, trying to do some animation character. I have 2 queries
1. What is lock fill; whenever I am trying to fill a color, it shows lock fill....
2. If I am creating a non regular figure like say with pencil, if I draw some part of it & do other part by later; these will be assumed different objects & I am not able to fill the whole figure with a selected color.
I am trying to make a timer and I want a circle that is always shown.It starts out green.As time progress' a growing red pie slice begins to occupy more and more of the circle until the entire circle is red.The restrictions are that I can't use sprite, so it would have to be done with UIComponent or some other format. Additionally, I can't use degrafa. The SDK I am using does not support these methodsMy only hold back is that the SDK I am using does not support rotation, but I think I can make this all work.For others that can't use sprite, just substitute UIComponent where sprite is.I am pretty sure rotate is the only way, but is it possible to make it start at the 12 o'clock position without rotate?
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction with this. Instead of creating a button and nesting movie clips for each state, I'm trying to script an animated button of a square (no fill) where on rollover the stroke color changes from one color to another (tweening the tint). I want to do this to the button symbol so it's the same for all instances. Is this possible or do I have to go the button > nested MC route? Sorry if this is lame...it's been awhile since I've used Flash and I've forgotten quite a bit.
I have a contact us form (I got with a pre built template)However when posting form data to PHP all the fields in the form show as undefined.When I run the file with trace mode on [code]I have ensured my input text has an instance name (ss)I have tried setting a var for ss This allows me to set the data ok but it is still undefined when I try to load it.I have added a keyframe to this frame as this is on frame 4 of a 4 page/frame timeline.
I am looking for a way to change stroke color via AS3. The objects I would like to change are created with flash professional. They do have a fill. I just want to change the stroke color and not the fill color... is this possible? ... or am I stuck removing all fills and using a filter?
I'm trying to get the letters in a word (each letter is an individual text object) to cycle through three different colors when clicked. Right now, all they do is change from their original color, blue, to black when clicked. No further "cycling" occurs. I'm appending the code. The part of interest is (probably?) in what is presently (and inaccurately) the "traceTextEvent()" function/method. It starts around line 90 of the code.
I am currently learning to use flash and i am following the ebook guide. On lesson 2 at the end, it requests you to select a complex shape, go to the bucket option and change the fill colour to dark brown. I tried that but the fill option has a red line across it and it cannot be selected. I need to complete this step if i want to finish lesson 2. I tried different things but it seems like the shape cannot be edited. I looked and it is not locked.[url]...
I've been working in flash for an independent studies course and I've come across an issue that is halting my class's progression. My Fill Color swatch is stuck as a transparent color and when i attempt to change it by clicking a color or typing in the color's code it doesn't change. Update:
-The issue is still there, but I've found that if I click the "black and white" option it enables the ability to change the fill color again, but only after that.-
-Another issue is that the color of text is also stuck on transparent unless I go into the color window, the box that allows you to select custom colors, and select a color from there.
I'm building a map editor for a project and need to draw a hexagon and fill it with a solid color. I have the shape correct but for the life of me can't figure out how to fill it. I suspect it may be due to whether the thing is a Shape, Sprite or UIComponent. Here is what I have for the polygon itself:
import com.Polygon; import mx.core.UIComponent; public class greenFillOne extends UIComponent {
I have a normal rectangle shape in flash. Id like to change the fill color of it using code, so I can use flashvars and be able to change the color of the shape with a few HTML adjustments.All I need to know is how to change the fill color of the shape. I've got the flashvars sorted.
How can I dynamically change the color of fill for something created like this:[code]I'd like to change the fill color onRollOver, onRollOut, onRelease, etc., but I don't know which property to refer to.[code]
I'm trying to get a movieclip fill color to change once clicked. I'm able to get the mouseover and mouseout working. But the click state isn't working properly.
When I use the above code, nothing happens once clicked. I tried using the color property, but, although that made a color change (black), it wasn't the color I had indicated (white).What I have is a movieclip ("my_mc"). Inside the movieclip are other movieclips. When one is clicked, only that movieclip ("my_mc.movieclip01"), is highlighted.
I am trying to dynamically draw a circle and fill it up with some color. Drawing a circle is pretty easy job for me, but fill it up with some color seems not happening today.
PHP Code: Circle function starts function fnDrawArc(mc,x,y,r,angle){ mc.beginFill(0xFF0000); // this is not working.... mc.moveTo(x+r,y); for(i=1;i<=angle;i++){ [Code] .....
I am writing a custom item renderer to render a column series in my application. Its a stacked chart and i want to use the same item renderer for both the column series. The color for each series in the stack is different and am setting that in the 'fill' property of the two series. My doubt is how can i get the color specified in the fill property of the column series from the item renderer. if this works then i can very well use the same renderer for both series.
When I use begin/endFill it work only for sprite dynamicaly drawed. So I use colorTransform to color a Sprite which is already on the stage. However all is colored. Is it possible to select what you want to color (line or fill)? I want to change only the fill color.
How to attach a graphic to the slider (slider component flash cs3) drag-handle so that when the slider moves up and down it fills with a color? All the solution I find are all about flex. But I need to do it in Flash...
I have another small question regarding dynamic color in movieclips. Essentially, I am looking for a way to find a color within a movieclip (like #999999 in the below sample) and replace that color with something else (like #ffd223).
But, I want the stroke around the circle to remain untouched. So, the script would only find a certain fill, and color only that area.
I tinkered with the beginFill method but couldn't get it working.
i have found a beautiful water effect made in as3. The effect is available to download on the website below.I am trying to change the fill of the water (that is blue or any color that you pick).The original code fills the water like this:
Code: public function renderWater():void { shape.grapics.clear(); shape.graphics.beginFill(0x006699); shape.graphics.lineStyle(0, 0x000000, 0);
[code].....
I tried to follow the instructions on the beginBitmapFill help, but i am receiving the water with no fill.
I'm a student currently trying to learn Flash CS3. However I've encountered a problem with the paint bucket. In my assignment I've created a simple rocket, each part with it's corresponding layer. Now I need to go back in and fill the body in a light gray color. I did so successfully with the nose cone. The problem now is that the bucket won't fill any other area no matter what I do, or which layer is selected.
Detail: I am reading some data from SVG and getting them as Sprite objects; now I need to change the fill color of these sprite objects dynamically without affection the outline color. I gave it a try with ColorTransform but that changes everything in the object.
PS: I already tried searching the forum for the same thing but search seems to have some technical issues... therefore had to
