I would like to have a variable transparency for a Flex UI container. The upper half of the container should be completely opaque but the lower part of it should smoothly change from completely opaque to completely transparent.
View 1 RepliesWould like to know is it possible to dynamically generate a range of colours. Eg. from red to green ["0xFF0000", "00FF00"]Specifying a range of 100 in between colours Final results of an array of 100 colours ["0xFF0000", .., ..., ......, ..., ..., "0x00FF00"]
View 5 RepliesI'm working on a project and the deadline is near but I'm stuck at making my video presentation work. So here's the problem: it should be played linearly and non-linearly. Because the video files are long, i keep them in 9 seperate swfs. If you don't press any buttons, the presentation runs smoothly, but the problems start when you try to jump forward/backward to another part. Here's my code so far (I don't have much experience with as3, so it's mostly based on tutorials):
Code:
var clips:Array = ["swf/btn1.swf", "swf/btn2.swf", "swf/btn3.swf", "swf/btn4.swf", "swf/btn5.swf", "swf/btn6.swf", "swf/btn7.swf", "swf/btn8.swf", "swf/btn9.swf"];
var index:int = 1;
[Code]....
When I click on a button, it plays the same swf over and over... but i want to keep it in order (such as in the array). It used to work, but I had problems with sound and must've messed something up.
Im using a movie clip to mask out another movieclip(layer).This works fine with below code:
maskee.cacheAsBitmap = true;
maskMC.cacheAsBitmap = true;
maskee.setMask("maskMC");
but when that swf is imported into a container in my main movie the masking does not work.
I need to place an image into a container. The problem is that I will not know the size of the image or the container beforehand, so it all has to be dynamic.this is how I started (have not gotten to stage(or container) changing size yet. No matter what I try, either all the images are the same width, or they are all the same height. If some images are portrait and other landscape, I don't want all the images to be X pixels high. In this variation of the code, all the images turn out the same height, regardless of portrait or landscape.
ActionScript Code:
var ratio:Number = container.width/container.height;//get the ratio, if width is bigger than height then ratio is greater than 1, else ratio is smaller than 1

Is there a place online where I can find like 16 linear gradients that match good with each other? I need them for a chart of mine and the ones generated (by Flex) aren't good enough.
So, I'm kind off searching for a library of gradients (linear in my case).

I intend to apply a linear gradient via actionscript to an image (.png) with transparent areas. Of course, I previously converted this image to a movieclip. So I actually want to apply the gradient fill to the container movieclip, which has the instance name of "flower". Here's the code:

In a Flex Mobile project I have a simple itemRenderer where I'm trying to create an "bubble" texting effect, similar to ichat or iphone (just so you get what im going for). But if the text is longer than the screen it runs off, rather than just going down a line.
If I set Group thats holding the rectangle(to create the bubble effect) and the label to 100% it works and keeps it from exceeding the list containers bounds, BUT the group is always at 100% and looks bad, I'm trying to keep the "bubble" JUST AROUND the text.
Anyway so, at the top of my itemRenderer I tried specifying:
<s:ItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" width="100%" height="100%">
And here's my layout I figured since msg_container has a width of 100% I was hoping bubble_lable_group would just not exceed that but...it doesnt...it just runs off. I tried setting a max width but that does not allow you to input percents. And just to say it 1 more time. I know if i set bubble_lable_group width to 100% it works, and keeps it from going off the edge, but then the rectangle "bubble" stretches all the way across and just looks bad.
<s:VGroup id="main_container" horizontalAlign="left" paddingBottom="10" paddingTop="10"
verticalAlign="top" width="100%">

I have a loop that goes through data from a book and displays it. The book is not consistent in it's layout so I am trying to display it in two different ways. First way(works fine) is to load the text from that section in to a panel and display it. The second way is to create a new panel (panel creates fine) and then add collapsable panels(nested) to that panel. Here is the code from the else loop.
else if (newPanel == false){
// simpleData is just for the title bar of the new panel
// otherwise the panel has no content

I'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);

If you paste above code in 1st frame of your scene with nothing on your scene, it will give you sweet rotating rays!

I am creating an flex Air project,so mxml file will run. I have circles in one Big circle at one side and will be same on other side.
Now how to drag any circle from any Big circle to other side. Or it could be like any two container having circles, then how to drag and drop circle?
For one circle i am able to do drag and drop.But I want one Big circle on left hand side and one big circle on right hand side .And small circles with class names will be in these big circles.Now i want to drag and drop those small circles in big circles.Big cicles should not move. Even i have tried this code in actionscript
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code].....
But in this i want big circles should not move and small circles should only be dragged.
I'm currently working on a custom component which extends Canvas (let's call it SuperCanvas) ; it's basically a container that let you zoom & pan its contents. It would be too long to explain why, but I can't use scrollRect, so I was forced to declare a Canvas object (called innerCanvas)... inside my SuperCanvas (I know, not very nice =/) I would like to know if there's a proper way to "redirect" the creation of my component's children in this canvas.

I create a modal window with PopUpManager
_zoomImgPopUp = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, Image, true) as Image;
When the modal window is opened, all background is gray and with blur. How can i change color, blur and transparency of background.
[URL]
but it is for "mx" application. I need something with "spark" components.
UPD: Solved. It must be:
_zoomImgPopUp.setStyle("modalTransparency", 0);
_zoomImgPopUp.setStyle("modalTransparencyBlur", 0);
PopUpManager.addPopUp(_zoomImgPopUp, this, true);
I have embedded a font type in my application. Its working fine inside a text area. Now i need to add 60% transparency to it. In fact I need multiple transparency levels. Like -
60 % transparency for TextARea
70% for WindowShade Header etc.
How do I add alpha values to it?
How to create vertical gradient in flex. What i currently have is a horizontal color gradient. And its working fine. But I am unable to figure out how should I make it vertical (which ofcourse is the requirement)I use styleName = "chatWindowLeftGradient".[code]This give a gradient from top to bottom. How i can make from left to right??
View 3 RepliesIn my original Flash/AS3 application I had a Sprite acting as a background. I put it underneath all other DisplayObjects and fill it with a linear gradient of random color. It looked good and seemed to work well with Flash Components (Buttons, Checkboxes, TexFields), because they are transparent.
So in my new Flex program (with BasicLayout), I've tried creating a Rect too:
<s:Rect left="0" top="0" right="0" bottom="0">
<s:stroke>
<s:LinearGradientStroke id="_bgcolor" rotation="90" weight="1">

But this doesn't work well, the Rect is obscured by the other Flex components:
Is there a quick way of adding a backround gradient to a Flex application (something as simple as backgroundColor="#CCCCCC") or do I have to study "skinning docs" (and will skinning of an Application help here, since the problem seems to be that the Flex components are opaque?)
When using the PopUpManager in Flex with modal = true, the background application is blurred. Is it possible to keep this blur for most of the background application but set certain components to not be blurred?

I'm trying to programmatically(yep, must be this way) style/skin a VBox so that its top right corner is rounded, and it gets a two colors gradient brackground.
Modifying examples I found around I was able to accomplish both effects(corner and background) but only separately:
VBox with not all rounded corners: [URL]
VBox with gradient background: [URL]
But what I need to do is to apply both at the same time. And all my coding attempts so far have failed silently.
