I have imported a JPG in to my library, converted it to a button, and then I animate the button in from frames 1-30. I then stop() the animation.If I hover over the button in the preview, the cursor changes to the hand as you might expect.Now, if I double click on the instance of the button, I get to the "edit in place" screen, with the 4 frames - Up, Over, Down Hit.I'm unable to apply any filters to this button. It says the "button" is a "bitmap" in the properties.How can it be both? And what is the recommended way of doing this.It seems I can create a new instance of the button on the "up" frame and the "over" frame etc, but this seems wrong plus they all need different names so that makes no sense.
I looked at the following example in the AS3 Reference: [URL] It is unclear to me looking at the package example how to apply this in standard ActionScript 3 without packages to a Movie Clip resident in my Library that gets called at RunTime. how I would push the DropShadow filter onto my Movie Clip at RunTime?
To achieve a zoom effect in our 2D flash game, we make the background of the game much bigger than the visible stage. This becomes a problem when the background is complex or when we apply a grayscale filter to the background. Is there a better way to do zoom? Or, is there a way to apply the filter to only a specific area of a movieclip?
I'm working with a main .swf and several external .swfs that are loaded into the main timeline via a movieclip. Is it possible to add an eventListener in a main .swf's timeline that listens for when the external .swf reaches its last frame? What I would like to do is when the external .swf reaches its last frame, the next button on the main .swf's timeline would add the [glow] filter to the next button.
how use a button (or movieclip) to filter information out of a datagrid based on an external XML document. For example, say, the data were types of fruit along with their corresponding prices, but the user was only interested in the price of apples. To see only those records or rows with apples and the corresponding apple prices, the user would press the "Apples" button.
Creating the datagrid seems pretty straight forward, it's just the second part that's stumped me. Whatever the answer is would seem to go at the end where the "trace" is now. There seems to be many, many Web sites that sort of touch on this subject.I typed of the following from memory (I'm at work now), but I think this is pretty much what I have so far.
import fl.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;import fl.data.DataProvider; var food:XML;var urlLoader:URLLoader;var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("food_list.xml");urlLoader = new URLLoader();urlLoader.load(urlRequest);[code].............
I have a filter applied programmatically to a screen-size movie clip (a displacement map filter). However, I can't seem to place anything above it unaffected. Even textfields defined in the .fla are affected...
When I rotate an external loaded image it gets a different filter than the other embedded images. Like this: What can I do to change the filter from "squares"/gitter to bi-linear?
I needed to convert a simple graphic symbol into a movie because I wanted to give it depth using the (gradient bevel) filter effect. The movie has to appear at different sizes in my animation but the filter effect does not scale with the symbol. Is there a way to make this filter effect (gradient bevel) scale when I scale the symbol it is applied to?
The attached piece of code produces strange results. When first run we get this result -- why does the first trace output include the XML elements, and the second only the text?
I've created an interactive map with filters for the map points using if/else visible statements.
The problem is that some of the points belong to more than one filter (i.e., health, education related, etc.). So the filters act properly when selected and deselected one at a time but don't show the proper map points if more than one filter is selected.
here's a painfully easy one I bet -- I'm aware of how to use EX4 to filter most pieces of the xml I need however how can I filter an XML list such as the one below to check say --- if a dog is a beagle? preferably as a Boolean.
ive attached a drop shadow filter to a mc.... but when i roll out of it i want to remove the filter effect.. ive searched livedocs and found document.removeFilter(), but i dont really understand how it works =( so here�s my code:
import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter; var myDropFilterropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter(35, 90, 0x9A9A9A, 5, 30, 30, 1, 50, false, false, false);
This function is added to several MC:S with a loop the result that it slows down everything
When i roll over it several times it just adds one more drop shadow object to the instance, but i suppose i can control that with some function, i will look into that next..
I was wondering if there is a simple way to control the "Adjust Color: hue" - filter of a MovieClip?. Is it possible to adjust it with a single variable(with AS2)?
I drew my log in flash and made it a movie clip but when I try to use the filter in properties panel the shadow comes out the color of the logo and the bevels don't seem to work
I have a flash project that involves using glow filters on several mcs all over the site, the problem is, the current way I'm doing it requires me to declare and assign the filter on every MC's container.
Is there a way where I can just declare the glow filter once on the maintime line, and then simply apply the filter on the MCs where needed?
this is what I use for every MC, and it's really tedious and hard to keep track of/change.
Code: var Glow1:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(); Glow1.color = 0xFFFFFF; Glow1.inner = false;
I created a movie with the blur filter applied via Actionscript which works great. If I try and load that movie into another movie via loadMovie, the filter is lost. Can a parent movie load a child movie and apply a filter to it? My test case is pretty simply, the child movie contains a text movie clip with no actions or filters. My parent movie loads the child movie and applies the blur filter to the child movie (and fails). If I use the Actionscript to apply the blur filter from the parent movie in the child movie by itself it works fine.
This is the simplified version of the code I use to apply the filter which works when I use it directly on the child movie:
Trying to create a profanity filter for an AS2 application. Working with code found on this site on another post that doesn't seem to work. Anyone see the issue here?
test.onPress=function (){ badWords = ["this", "wont", "work"]; var lc_content = formContent.toLowerCase(); for (j=0; j<badWords.length; j++){
[Code].....
The form field is called "formContent". This returns both traces no matter the input so it must be a problem with the structure but I can't see it.
I get this error in Flash player 9 (10 works fine).The image I'm trying to distort is 2203 x 250, so I don't know why it's saying the maximum is 3334 ?
Actionscript Code: Warning: Filter will not render.[code]............
I'm currently producing my first website in Flash CS3 and have just encountered a problem with a transitional effect I'm experimenting with: Transitional effect uses the Flash Blur filter set to 10 (X andY) on the first frame to 0 on the last frame (Medium quality). This is used with an alpha setting of 50% on the first frame to 100% on the last frame.
The .fla is using the default setting of 12fps. When I preview the transitional effect, various multi-coloured horizontal lines appear randomly on the images during the tween, and some remain visible once the tween is complete. Would this be because the blur filter cannot be used effectively together with different alpha settings?
Maybe the frame rate for the animation is set too low?
I have set up my code to filter my xml attributes but need to be able to filter by a var that is dynamically set elsewhere. I can get the code to work if I set: var birthyear = "1980";
How do I get var birthyear to use the var yob that is set elsewhere in my code?
I commented out the alpha line in my script but I would like to use the blur filter property.My animation seams a bit abrupt an easing effect can that be doe or not
Is there any way of using bitmapdata or any other method to take a persons webcam and output it with a filter that for example looks like the graphic pen filter in photoshop? Or should I just stop this thought and crawl back in the cave?
I am creating an application for iPhone4, and one of the problems I am having is the lack of filter support. I am trying to create a "stroke" around some bitmaps... an example would be a text field that is white on a bright background - I would put a black stroke around it to contract it... there are other needs as well, but this is an example.
Before, I would just put a glow filter on the text field, tweak the settings and it looked good and did exactly what I wanted.But iPhone4 high resolution with gpu acceleration don't support filters - and I can't change those requirements... so any and all bitmap filters are out. Any way I can create a glow filter effect without using filters that would not be a major performance hit for fps and memory?
