ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash : Create Gradient Fill, Transparent Background And Radial Gradient?
Dec 26, 2011I'm trying to create spinning rays in actionscript to use in my website.Below is the rough idea of what i'm trying to create.Is it possible to create absolutely with 0 images.Following is the actionscript code in which i couldn't figure out how to add gradient, transperant background and little radial gradient to create glow effect.
Code:
function CreateRays():Shape {
var ray:Shape = new Shape();
ray.graphics.beginFill(0xFF9900,.5);
ray.graphics.lineStyle(1,0xFF9900,.5);
[code]....
If you paste above code in 1st frame of your scene with nothing on your scene, it will give you sweet rotating rays!
ActionScript 3.0 :: Create Gradient Text With Text In Text Field Without Using Different Object?
Oct 13, 2009Is it possible to create gradient text with text in a text field, without using a different object?
I have three text fields sitting right next to each other, to create a row. Some times the text is longer than the width of the text field, I don't want to widen the the text field to make it fit, I just want to fade the last 20 - 50 pixels of the text out.
Is this possible to do without using an object above it, such as a gradient?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Showing Alpha / Gradient In Text
Jun 2, 2010We need to show transparency (around 70%) in the text in textarea and other components in Flex 3.5 SDK. I checked up and found these: I could use an embeded font (only ttf) and make it transparent. Now as per client requirement we have to use different sizes of Verdana only. Even If I download Verdana font in ttf format then how will I make it transparent? Using gradient boxes around the text - I found a link but this seems a heavy procedure.

View 1 RepliesActionscript :: Setting Dynamic Text In Macromedia Flash Pro 8?
Sep 19, 2010I'm missing something obvious, but after looking over the same line of code and settings over and over and not being able to find a solution, I thought it better to just ask on the off chance that it'd be an easily resolvable problem. I've tried googling it, but end up with basic tutorials on how to use dynamic text in flash, which just go over what I'm doing already.
The problem is I have a text field in a movieclip. The text field is set to dynamic text, embedding is set on the characters I need, it's instance name is set to "val", it contains the text string "100%". The text field is contained within the movieclip called "uihp". The linkage on this movie clip is turned on, and has the name "uihp". I can attach the movieclip fine, and it is visible. The problem occurs when I attempt to change the text string. I use the following line to attempt to do that:
uihp.val.text = Math.floor(hp)+"%"; I have tried changing it to the string to "one" instead, but the same problem occurs: The text field doesn't display any text, and the previously present text "100%" vanishes, leaving nothing in the text field's place.
Setting the text field's var value to "test" and using uihp.test = "test" gives the same result as using the above method. I know I'm probably missing something obvious, but it feels stupid to waste so much time over this one aspect of an almost finished project if it could be just a simple thing I'm missing.

Jul 9, 2009I want to mask an object which will contain text and images. I want the mask to be feathered at the bottom end, for a nice smooth effect when it animates into place. For my masking object, I've created a movie clip with a gradient, using a matrix fill. When I apply the mask, it works, but only as a rectangle. The feathered area (the grey bit) still masks completely. I'm stumped with this one. I've searched around for an explanation, but can't get it to work. Does anyone know of any examples of this working?

Flash :: AS3 Embedded Font In Linked SWC / Source Blanks Out When Setting Dynamic Text Field
Jul 15, 2010I've got a number of related projects set up in Flash Builder. Each project gets its graphical assets from an exported SWC file (or multiple SWC files.) This works fine, but I wanted to create a shared project that contains stuff used across all projects. The first item in there is a screen with a number of clips containing dynamic text fields on them. This screen (and associated assets) are exported to a SWC and then I have written code in the shared project to add functionality to the screen and buttons. I'm using 2 fonts, both are embedded.
Both show up just fine in my test harness, but when I link the shared SWC and src folder (which is required in order to use this code/assets in the other projects) the textfields blank out if I try to set their text properties. If I leave the default text (set in the FLA) it shows up, and the static text fields in the FLA also show up, it's only when I set the text property.
I've tried a number of combinations, including removing embedding, exporting for ActionScript, setting all textfields in the shared project to dynamic, all with no luck. The main project does have the same font embedded, and I've checked that the same glyphs are selected in both the main and shared projects. I realize this is a rather complicated setup, but I have yet to find a workflow to allow a designer and developer to work on large projects that is better (but I'd love to hear one!)

Professional :: Setting HTML Text To TLF Text With Embedded Font?
Aug 8, 2011It's what this image describes:For some reason, I cannot use bold tags to set the TLF text to bold, even though both the regular and bold fonts are embedded.so that the webpage that embeds this movie can call its function (otherwise the movie itself will be wrapped by TLF).his is not exactly a question since there is an obvious solution to this. Just set the htmlText as something like "<font face='Myriad Web Pro'><b>BOLD</b></font>" and you're done.hs issue is, why does it not render the bold text without the font tag in the first place, if I have already set the font of the TLF text in the PI?

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.
