Flash :: Invert A Mask In It?
Feb 9, 2010I've been looking for a simple way to invert a mask in flash. Its just amazing how it doesn't have this feature.
I just really need to paint shape and whatever is below (in layers) wont show up.

Flash 9 :: Invert Mask - For Complex Camera Moving Animation?
Aug 26, 2008I'm wanting to render this character as a flash animation (which i will create with swift 3d), could I make the walls of this corridor mask him so that only his head would only be seen as he walked through it, as below?I would later render the animation of walls as normal like so ..lkThrough.html (so that i would have a vector character walking through a bitmap corridor, you may ask why i want to do that, and that's because later on the character will be mainly animating on a still background and i'm trying to conserve download time for the Flash file).

View 9 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: How To "invert" A Mask
Feb 21, 2009Normally a mask reveals whatever is within the layer below that is overlapped by whatever is on the mask layer. I'm trying to do the opposite. What I'm working on starts with a city street grid. I have an irregularly shaped mask that "grows" from the center, revealing some wireframe city buildings. At the same time I need to remove the portion of the street grid that is underneath the buildings, using the same irregular mask (well, a copy of it, but identical motion/position, growing out from the center). The relevant portion of the street grid is its own movieclip/layer - easy to mask or otherwise manage by itself.
It looks like there is no easy "invert mask" function (and why not, I ask - seems like it'd be pretty straightforward and certainly useful).I'm thinking I could start with a big rectangle and use my mask (at tiny "starting size") to punch a hole in it. Then I could scale the mask until the hole overlapped the street grid completely.
But the problem with that is, then I have this huge mask, and the street grid/city movieclip (which contains all the clips and masks that make up the buildings and street grid) resizes and repositions dynamically to fit the browser window size. The huge mask will change the size of the grid/city movieclip, which will change the way it resizes (basically, Actioscript will now think it's huge so it'll shrink it way down). Is there a way to have Actionscript "ignore" the size of the mask when determining the size and position of the movieclip?Or, perhaps there is a way to resize just the punched-out hole in the middle of the mask, and keep the outer rectangle the same size?How do people usually do this sort of thing - when they need to make something disappear via a "growing" mask?
ActionScript 2.0 :: Scriptable Mask - Large Mask Behind The Whole Of Flash Site?
Aug 19, 2003 what i am doing is to make something along the lines of the "scriptable mask" tutorial Inigo was kind enough to put up.My idea is to have a large mask behind the whole of my flash site, this masks a colour image with a black & white one (nothing tricky). The image I am using is actually 5 separate images combined, and each is a pic of certain parts of the site.I also have a very basic set of buttons along the bottom... each corresponding to each section.
All I want is to set it up so that when I mouse over the buttons, the _x of the mask moves to correspond with the correct image... really very basic... or so I thought .If anything it should be easier to do than what is in Inigo's tut (where he uses the _x of the mouse to move the mask)... i just cant seem to get it to work with a nice easing effect (its easy to get the mask to simply snap to each coordinate, but I need it to smoothly move).
ActionScript 3.0 :: Invert Mouse X And Y?
Jun 24, 2010Im trying to make the cursor invert so when you go left on your mouse the mouse pointer goes right, basically the cursor goes the opposite way to your mouse. I have no idea where to start or even if its possible. I assume it be a case of hiding the original mouse pointer then using a MC of a pointer which has the inverted movement applied to it?? The inverted cursor also needs to be able to click a button that would put the cursor back to normal. Im using CS5 so either AS2 or 3

Aug 1, 2007reason is i'm copying this grayscale Perlinnoise smoke image and makig it such that the darker the color, the more transparent it is. (I'musingcopyChannel.RED/GREEN/BLUE->CopyChannel.ALPHA). But right now, it's the other way round at the moment (ie. the brighter the pixel, the more opaque it is.). I want it to be more transparent instead (inversely proportional), so if i could find simple & fast way invert the alpha channel, it would do me so much more good. (I need a fast method...performance is critical!)

There is also 2 buttons that control whether mask1 or mask2 is used. What i would like however is when the mouse is down - the area of the loader outside of the mask is visible but only by about 10/20% alpha, that way the user can see where all the image is while dragging. Is this possible? Full code can be seen below and i have attached the zip with the .fla file:

Create Own Mask Around A Jpg Image By Drawing Around It On The Mask Layer
Dec 4, 2009maybe point me towards a better way to mask. png file is way too big. I have been using the mask layer option to create my own mask around a jpg image by drawing around it on the mask layer. There has to be a fetter and faster way to do this. Is it possible to maybe have a specific color range have an alpha value of 0. Similar to green screening whereas If I put the item I want to clip on a green background flash will auto take out the green for me. and by auto I mean action script maybe. I think this can be done but im not finding it.
how are these guys clipping these images [URL] they have the movie clips set up where the black background on the 3 layers of shoes is getting masked out. When I go into the shoe movie clips I see there is a black background but it just disappears when I go back to main timeline.

Professional :: Flash CS3 Bug In Mask Layer?
Apr 10, 2008I have created mask layer with single MC cosisting of couple of instaces of another MC. This is a set of growing squares. The problem is that only first instance gives mask effect. Rest of instances are not used to. Does anybody knows what is wrong and how to workaround this (most likely)bug ? I would like to avoid creating one masking MC consisting of e.g. 100 layers - with teened growing sqare on each layer but in different position. Wiser is just to create one MC consisting of many instances of another single MC.Second example describing issue.Mask layer contains shape tween which consist of 3 keyframes.Masked layer contains single keyframe at first frame with one MC. This MCrestarts when middle keyframe in the mask is played. It seems that masked MC (on different layer obviously) is recreated when playhead meets keyframe in mask layer in tweened shape. In the same moment our MC stopped beeing visible for AS3 under given name as well.It seems that if mask layer contains more complex animation then basic shape move/scale then masking stops working properly. Is it bug in Flash palaer or am I doing mistake?

View 1 RepliesFlash - Setting Mask For Sprite?
Sep 12, 2010So i have this sprite that is say arbitrarily 100 x 100 which is added to the stage. Now when content is added to this sprite the sprite expands automatically as it should. I dont want this to happen, what i want is to set a defined boundary i.e. 100 x 100, if too much content is added i can be able to scroll it. My problem is i cannot add a mask to the stage like the conventional way because i have many other boxes like this that vary in dimensions and number. I found a way i can do this but its very inefficient, what i did is i created a movieclip filled it say 100x100 with some color then instantiated it. Next i added the sprite and if content overlaps it wont be visible, only 100x100. I sort of stumbled on this and dont know exactly why this works. Any help is well appreciated, thank you.
