I have added a reflection, and it works just great. But i would like to make the right and the left side fade to transparent. I have tried to make a little demo here: [URL]
The first movie looks good, but only because I have faded from nothing to black and the background is black on the home page. And as you can see, the movie does not look that great, when the background is white.
I found this link: [URL], but I can't figure out how to implement it into my already "working" slideshow.
What have I done wrong here? I need a movieClip to fade out, pause, then a new movieClip to fade in.
[Code]....
What I've tried to do is to set the target_MC alpha to 0 and fade out the current mc. Then when the fadeOut has completed to setTimeOut. After this the mcs will swapDepths and the target_MC should fade up to alpha = 0I've attached the flash and xml files. The images were too large.
I have a background I want to fade out. It has multiple colours so as far as I can tell I can't just use Alpha to fade it out (because it changes the whole background to the same colour). Is there anyway I can fade it out to about half-transparent?
I am trying to create a tween in which an imported jpg will fade away to completely transparent. After importing the jpg image and converting to a movie clip symbol, I am able to create a motion tween where it grows and moves, but using the alpha setting, I cannot get it to become transparent. Is this not possible with an imported image?
This is probably an easy task for most of you, but how do i get a transparent image to fade to a background image in Flash? I have several transparent product images (.png or .gif) and a patterend background. I import my .png or .gif image and convert it to a symbol. I drag the symbol on my layer but as soon as i add a keyframe, the product image background turns white and loses it's transparency!
I trying to create a fade to transparent trail/follower and I'm doing this using ColorTransform.The problem is that it simply sets the alpha value of the bitmap to 0.7 al the time, it doesn't fade at all.
Code: import caurina.transitions.*; var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(550, 400, true, 0x00000000); var bm:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bmd);[code].....
I simply have one FLVPlayback component in the background and a movieclip on the layer above with an FLVPlayback component inside it. The first FLV component is constantly looping a five-second video. So all I need is for the movieclip containing the second FLV component to load the right file, fade in, and when the video ends, fade out. Absolutely all of that works... apart from the fading in. What I noticed was that my movieclip was fading in correctly, but the FLVPlayback component was empty and transparent until the fade had finished - then it played the clip. Here's my code, which gets called at random intervals:
I've got a horizontal bar on the screen following the mouse vertical motion. I would like for it to be transparent until the mouse moves, and then fade in to be 100% on mouse movement. When the mouse stops moving, I would like it to fade back to be 0% transparent after a couple of seconds. This what I have for the mouse follow on the bar MC...
I would like to make a fade in and fade out movieclip. However I want it so after it fades out, it will not loop and start over. In essence fade in and fade out and thats it.
I need to produce an image gallery which when a thumbnail is pressed it loads a new image, fades out the previous image then fades in the new one.I have it fading in but I don't know how to fade the previous image out before.Here is my code so far:
import mx.transitions.Tween;import mx.transitions.easing.*;var imageLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader() ;var imageListener:Object = new Object () ;imageLoader.addListener(imageListener); imageListener.onLoadInit = function()[code]....
Ive been using flash for years (for animation) but ive only just started properly looking at actionscript.What Im doing is making a flash site, in which when you click a menu item the current page fades out, the new one fades in.Here is what I have:
Code:
var selectedPage = "home"; //attach home page holder.attachMovie("home","selectedPage","1");[code]....
It works to the point of loading the home page, and then fading that out when i click a new item on the menu, but it doesnt seem to be loading a newpage in or fading back in.
i have been working on a rts game for a little while now and i am struggling to find a way to implement a game menu. I want to have a small menu at the top of the screen and a large menu on the bottom with gameplay in the middle.
I am trying to use 2 movieclips for the menu's and one in the background contains my game content. However when i create these movieclips i need the movieclip itself to be transparent only showing a single image in order to have a unique shape. However when i create a new movieclip without filling in a rectangle my movieclip does not seem to be visible even when i have added an image as a child to the movieclip.
I used a great tutorial posted on KIRUPA by Sam Kellett aka Sammo [URL] and i was wandering if i can make the snowflakes fade to transparent at the bottom of the movie?
On the stage I have a movieclip with an animation inside it, at the moment I've given to its background the same color of the stage to simulate a transparence.Now I've added some decorations to the bottom left corner of the stage and this movieclip lays a bit over the decoration showing that in truth the movieclip is not transparent because it covers part of the decoration.Is there a way to make the movieclip background really transparent?I've checked where I apply colors to elements, but there is not a "transparent" option, or at least I havent seen it.
I am coding in AS3 and I am using BitmapData to take a snapshot of a movieclip. Is there a way to have the end result BitmapData to support transparency?
How do I take a snapshot of a movieclip without any background?
Is there a way to make part of a movieclip transparent? Using actionscript that is.I want to create 'holes' in a movieclip so I can see through it.If needed I guess I can change the movieclip into a sprite if that makes it easier, but I am unfamiliar with flash so I need to learn the proper way to do such a thing.
I have a .jpg graphic in a movieclip on layer two (1024/768). This is used as a background.I have a .jpg scrolling movieclip on layer one. It is a very wide graphic used for displaying a panorama.I would like to be able to create, dynamically using actionscript, a transparent area on the layer two movieclip (create a window) to view the underlying movieclip.I believe this is possible using the Rectangle class in the flash.geom.rectangle but I can't figure out how to attach it to the layer two movieclip or how to make it transparent so shows the underlying scrolling graphic.
So I'm Bitmaping some heavy stuff to try bring down the [pre-render] and [render] which is quite high according to FlashBuilder's profiling. I thought this was going well until I realised that as soon as you change a MovieClip to a Bitmap, you lose the pixel based accuracy of the mouse move events (Over, Out, Move...), all your left with is the entire bounding box of the Bitmap, something which is less than desirable. I've got a game where many Bitmapped assets would be on top of each other in a scene, on the stage, arranged in various ways and need to have that pixel accuracy moving between each one and have exhausted my efforts as to how to achieve the same mouse move results with the Bitmapped guys as normal.
This, [URL], is a FLA which shows this operation, and you can see how it works here, [URL]. When it loads up, both items on stage are drawn Shapes, encapsulated in MovieClips, both that get a glow, if you hover over them. If you click the stage at all, the purple guy gets turned into a Bitmap and now, his 'hit area', when it comes to MouseEvents is his whole bounding box and you can only get through to the back green item at the edge slivers.
I'm also tracing the pixel which the mouse is over, so I can clearly tell when the mouse is over a transparent area, it's 0, but how can I tell the event to forward itself on down the chain to the green MovieClip?
Below is how it's now pretty much working for me,
var bitmap:Bitmap = this['bitmap']; var shouldMouseOver:Boolean = bitmap.bitmapData.getPixel(event.localX - bitmap.x, event.localY - bitmap.y); if(shouldMouseOver)
[Code].....
I shut off mouseEnabled for my item, when I know it's wrong, then I search for another item that properly fits the bill and if there is one, send an Event to that and break. If that one's also wrong, it'll do the same again, but each time taking themselves out of the loop.
This does work exactly how I want it to, but I'd always prefer to keep things like globalToLocal and looping, and reading from arrays for not frequently updated methods like listeners to MOUSE_MOVE. Is there a more efficient way to do this?
I imported a video into flash and have a transparent photoshop layer to create an iPod skin. The video works fine, but I cannot get the "stage" to be transparent so that you do not see the flash background color behind the iPod skin.
I've read in the forums and have followed the instructions here from Adobe. If you look at my code, I have
I am creating a map in flash cs4 with all the countries on it. I used photoshop for creating the map and separated countries. Now I imported all pngs in Flash and I want to give Mouse CLICK event and Mouse Hover on all pngs, but as the transparent pixels are overlapping the other states, it is getting difficult. So, I converted all pngs in movieclips and now then I broke up pngs. Now I want to delete all pixels having alpha 0 using eraser tool, as per the borders. And I have to do it manually for individual countries. So is there a way to remove transparent pixels from the bitmap data?
I'm struggling with something rather simple in flash at the moment. Imagine you have two movieclips ontop of eachother. Both of these movieclips have identical movieclips within them. If I fade out the top movieclip I expect to see no change at all, but for some reason I can see the fade happen. It's like actionscript is fading out the sub movieclips independently. Anyone know how to get around this? I don't want to be able to see any fade at all.[code]
i'm trying to cobble together a working website for my photography. I would like to know if there is any actionscript that when a button is pressed on layer 1 it will fade out a movieclip on layer 2 and goto and play frame 5 i have the movieclip instance name set to "ran". This movie clip loads random pictures onto my website and here is the actionscript currently for it "_root.ran.attachMovie("img"+(random(8)+1),rand,1) ;"
I have a movie clip that houses 5 text boxes. I need to fade up/down alpha of everything in it. As a test, using the movie clip that holds the text boxes seg_mc.alpha = 10 doesn't work. Zero is completely transparent or 1 is 100%.
I've written my first function the only problem...... it doesn't work properly. Here's my function: Code: function fade() { i = 1; while(i<10){ roll._alpha = roll._alpha - 10; i++ if(i>=10){ gotoAndStop(1); trace("boe"); }}}
The function is located at the second frame inside a mc called "FLASH" , even as the mc "roll". The mc "FLASH" has the next piece of code: Code: on(rollOver){ gotoAndPlay(2); }on(rollOut){ this.fade(); } So when you rollover it, you will go to frame 2 in mc "FLASH", where my function and the mc "roll" are. But when I roll out, mc "roll" won't fade out...
I have movieclip controlled by a button. by rollover on the button the movieclip transition starts working and I want that on rollout the movieclip will disappear in smooth fade. (the movieclip and the button have an instance name).
I have a movieclip called iconinterface_mc and inside of that movieclip I have another movieclip called smsinter_mc iv created a button inside smsinter_mc and I want the button to bring the user back to the iconinterface_mc.
