I'm having a problem in one of my fla files. I'm not sure if I changed the view or what I did exactly, but now all I have is colored outlines around where images are supposed to be. All of the text has turned different colors as well.

I've got a student doing a project, and has accounts on 2 different web servers at our school.
From server A, all the images in the swf are missing when it plays. (I believe the images are in simpleButtons, and are drawn using the drawing tools )
From server B, all the images are there.
random images appears but the buttons are missing
View 3 RepliesThis has me stumped and frustrated! I have some simple bitmaps that I've masked with graphics. When I use the playhead to watch the movie, it looks fine. When I preview or publish, the masked images are missing completely. What could I be doing wrong? A couple additional notes - the layer with the graphic (symbol) is rotated and the layer above it (mask) is also rotated at an angle. I don't see how that should matter at all...
View 3 RepliesI have this actionscript:
Code:
// **** Load XML ****************************
myXML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
receiverXML = new XML();
[Code].....
But how can I get these two lines to appear in red and have an url ? :
Code:
dinkost.htmlText = "DinKost" + "
";
dinkost.htmlText += "- http://www.dinkost.no";
I have a bitmap I broke into vectors and I need to select each vector that is the color red (#ff0000) with actionscript.
View 7 RepliesI'm attempting a neat little effect where I've got a fellow walking (already drawn and animated) and I'm using him as a mask over the top of a simple colored rectangle - the idea being, by changing the color of the rectangle, I can have a walking man with color effects happening. At this stage the square is just green, because the mask is not quite working correctly. The edges of the animated mask glitch up and don't work as expected

View 2 RepliesI want to keep my text editable in Flash (Classic text) and convert to outlines on publishing to swf so I don't have to worry about font embedding. Is it possible to do this? ie FLA keeps editable text but swf gets published out with outline text.
View 2 Replies all the layers are displayed as outlines.I can assure you that outline mode is NOT switced on "globally" or for each layer.I have tried toggling the icons on and off to see if that would reset it, but it did not.Every new document is doing this, even after relaunching the program and rebooting the OS, Preview and Published display correctly, it is only in the the working environment that things aren't right.None of the other workstations are doing this, just this one.I did an update, but the issue persisted.
The weirdest part about it is, when I gave him a file created on my laptop to see what would happen, everything was displayed normally,New layers added to this document also displayed normally. We have iMac workstatios running Snow Leopard if that makes a difference.This is Flash CS5 by the way.Other than doing a re-install,
When I open action script 2 or 3 in CS5, and draw a rectangle or any shape, I can only see outlines? The problem IS NOT the outlines button that is in the layers palet as I have changed this many times and it has mad no difference and the problem IS NOT because I have selected no fill or colour for the shape. If you want to see a screenshot of my computer follow this link as I have exactly the same problem [URL]
BUT interestingly, when I have opened someone elses .fla work document, I can draw and fill shapes without a problem, which makes me wonder whether I am missing some basis setting when I start with my own new document ??
I have created a movie with a text input component and it is being included in a main movie by using html <img> tags. When I view the movie on a webserver and enter text the keyboard reverts from uk english to us english(i think) and the @ symbol mysteriously changes location to above the number 2.I'm not sure what to do about this cause when I run the movie on its own it works fine. I thought about embedding font outlines as a last resort. But I can't figure out how to embed font outlines in a component.

View 1 RepliesIs there a color transform tool that lets me affect the brightness of colored pixels only? For example, if I have an image that has a lot of grays and blacks, but a colored dot in the center, is it possible to only affect the brightness of the colored portion?
The solution I'm looking for does not involve making the colored dot in the center its own movie clip, just so you know.
I am trying to draw random colored rectangles. I want to have them everywhere. Repeat them at X and Y. Its just repeating at X. Dunno why it dont want to take "for loop" at Y position

I've been trying to figure out how to disable the mouse focus that you see when you tab through a swf file. I'm getting them pop up now and then and the client doesn't want them.I've been trying to work out how to disable focus for the entire movie but I've got nowhere. Is there an easy way to do this?
View 1 RepliesIs there a setting that will allow me to see layers in outlines even though the alpha of the movieclip is set to 0%? I swear I used to be able to see an outline of my clips even though the alpha is all the way down... now if my clip is alpha down there's no outline when i 'view as outlines' in the timeline. maybe i accidently changed a setting some where?
View 12 RepliesOne thing that seems particularly easy to do in the Flash IDE but difficult to do with code is to outline an organic shape. In the IDE you can just use the inkbucket tool to draw a stroke around something. Using nothing but code it seems much trickier. One method I've seen is to add a glow filter to the shape in question and just mess with the strength. But what if i want to only show the outline?What I'd like to do is to collect all of the points that make up the edge of the shape and then just connect the dots. I've actually gotten so far as to collect all of the points with a quick and dirty edge detection script that I wrote. So now I have a Vector of all the points that makeup my shape. How do I connect them in the proper sequence so it actually looks like the original object?[code]
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if there was a way of drawing different shapes dyamically, and then somehow "join" them so that the resulting shape has only one outline, and not an outline for each shape.For examples making a random cloud with circles, and only have the outline on the cloud, and not each circle.

How can i change colored image to black and white using actionscript?
i found a tutorial a while back but i cant find it now
i load the image and then draw it as bitmap.
I have .ppm files which are the result of using a segmentation algorithm on images of things.These basically look like a jigsaw puzzle of randomly colored funny-shaped segments. I'd like for each segment to be selectable.I want them to change color on mouseover, so I can't just use bitmapData. getColorBounds (that's the best thing I could find searching for possible solutions).As far as I know, the best way to make a specific shape selectable is to draw a polygon using graphics.lineTo, etc. Assuming that that is true, is there any way to draw a polygon that roughly follows a jaggedly-shaped area of a certain color? Or is this just not something flash can handle?

I'm trying to emulate the transition effect from the site venuliving.com (I'd post the link but I don't have enough posts).
When you click through the various sections, coloured bars expand and move across the site, they hold while subtly moving and then shrink out once the section has loaded.
how this sort of thing is achieved? I've been considering creating the whole thing using coloured rectangles and TweenMax but I'm wondering if this was created dynamically in AS3? Or if it's a customization of some existing transition?
I have a project where I use several SWFs and have the fonts outlines stored into a seperate SWF. Within the .fla file's I have checked the Import for runtime sharing with the various font definitions.In the library the linkage part shows for every font the Import: classnamTo get a correct idea how things look within the IDE, I've checked several character ranges within the font properties so the preview renders correctly.In Flash CS5 everything was working correctly; no font outline was included within the SWF. The size report also shows this.When I create the SWF with Flash CS5.5 font outlines of the selected ranges still get embedded into the SWF. The file size of the SWF is much larger and the font outline information shows up in the size report.
View 8 RepliesWhen my site finishes loading, just before the animation begins, I see for a very short period of time (just a frame I guess) weird images, actually the outlines of some elements (screenshot 1) that are supposed to have alpha = 0 and visible = false, and a weird shape which I believe has something to do with a big gradient - also with alpha = 0 and visible = false (screenshot3) also the preloader is all messed up (screenshot2) .ve made a few changes and these weird images and outlines persist for a longer time.
