IDE :: Creating A Flash Map With Transparent Png's
Jan 7, 2010
I'm trying to create a rollover flash map of England. In the past I have simply got a map image, traced over each section and saved as a button with a rollover effect, job done.
However this time I have the various counties within England as individual png's with transaprent backgrounds. I have converted each of them into rollover buttons and every single button has its own layer on the timeline, but the problem arises as the mouse detects the square box around each png image, ignoring the transparency.
I want the 'hit area' for each button to just be non-transparent part of the png.
I have seen 'InteractivePNG': [URL] but am not great at actionscript and can't get it to work.

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?

I'm making a graphic button for a news app that allows the user to click on a headline.The button is composed of font and a rectangular shape in the back of the text. I want the text to be 100% transparent, and create the effect that you can see in the titles of this movie poster:

does anyone know how to do this? doing it the way you would think...which is just to make the text 100% transparant doesnt work because the the background shape of the button (about 65% transparent) is in the way.

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.

I've got a project that loads video clips and text via XML. I'm trying to add buttons but I am not sure how to code them. The problem is, I'm creating 4 transparent buttons over four dynamic text fields. In the XML doc I have 11 different sections or groups of content. Those text fields with the transparent buttons change when each video finishes and a new section is loaded.
What I want to do is get the changing value of any of those 4 buttons that I click while one of the sections is playing and load that new section. At first I thought I'd just check to see what the current section is that's playing and then if I click on the button that represents the next section I would increase the value+1. If I click on the button that's supposed to represent the third section from the current one then I would code the button, current section+3 and so on.
That would work fine but If I'm on section 9 in the XML and there's only 11 sections, I can't add "current section+3" because that would go to section 12 and there isn't a section 12. I would want it to go and load section 0.

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'm trying to draw PNGs onto BitmapData that is transparent.
I create my BitmapData like this (using ARGB for the color):
new BitmapData(width, height, true, 0x00000000);
And clean it by using the same ARGB value:
bitmapData.fillRect(bitmapData.rect, 0x00000000);
When I use copyPixels() to draw graphics onto the cleaned BitmapData, I get this result:
If I don't use ARGB for the BitmapData color, it works fine:
But I have to specify a solid fillColor, meaning I can't render what's behind the Bitmap.
How can I make my BitmapData transparent, but not have the above occur?

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 have two png's that kind of look like paint brush strokes. they have some transparency in them that lets the stage colour bleed through a bit.
I am adding two of these images to the stage in AS 3. One adds quite fine - looks as expected. The second one however doesn't have any transparency other than around its edges. What i mean is it looks more like GIF than a PNG. Rough around the edges, no transparency "inside" the image itself (where there should be)
i have tried re-creating the image (yes it IS a PNG) which did nothing. I ensured the library item is not being treated as a JPEG. I also even tried externally calling the PNG to see if that made a difference. Unfortunately it did not.
why this second PNG doesn't seem to have a transparency set?

I'm using copyPixels to copy a parts of a larger Bitmap to smaller Bitmaps to use for individual MovieClips. However, around there is still some extra space white space and corners around the Bitmaps' edges left over. How do I set the color white in the Bitmap to be transparent so I won't see these unsightly edges?

I have been trying for weeks on this project but I know it can be done. I shot a subject in front of a green screen and he wants a Flash movie of just him (the subject) and no background. I told him it could be done. I shot a 1 mintue video using the old DV rack to make the green screen fairly good. I imported the avi clip to Premiere Pro 2 and used the chromakey ( Color key on some tries) to remove the green screen whereas the background was black. I saved it and exported it as a quicktime movie, animation compressor codec, millions of colors square pix. Then I used Flash CS3 and imported the video to the library by On2 VP6 codec with the alpha channel selected. I created two layers, layer 1 a jpeg image. I highlighted layer 2, dragged the FLV playback to the stage and made sure layer 2 was about layer 1. I saved and tested it but the background is still there. I have tried several ways; saved a flash file from Premiere Pro2 and imported it with CS3 Flash encoder following the same steps. I even loaded and older version of PPro 1.0 and followed a tutorial exactly. The FLV plays well but I can't see the image from layer 1 because the background is black and not transparent. All I want is a transparent background where the subject is there without a background. I have Ultra 2, Visual Communicator, I can make a background of anything but I can't seem to make a background transparent!

In Flash CS4, when I draw a rectangle (or circle, or anything) with a color that has 0 alpha, nothing is drawn. Also, if I select a piece of drawing and change the color to 0 alpha, the drawing (e.g. rectangle) disappears!I know I can draw a non-transparent rectangle, convert it to movie clip and set the movie clip's alpha to 0, but I'd like to avoid this.

I've been getting reports from users that certain objects are invisible in my flash banner.The browser culprit is IE 8 (but someone also reported seeing this in IE 6). I have been unable to duplicate this and therefore, find it very difficult to troubleshoot. I do have the Wmode set to transparent, but I've made it opaque and still had the "invisible" reports. Here is the site:

there is only one or two threads that come up post 2006 regarding this.I have a flash banner that I am using for a website, and I'd like the stage and background to be transparent so it shows the background (webpage background) gradient.
I know about the WMODE transparency, however, I'm not actually using an HTML file, rather and going to embed this SWF at the top of a wordpress site in the header, so I don't think that the WMODE really matters anyway.I can't believe that even in 2010 (ok almost 2011!) that Flash doesn't support transparency yet, but I've been proven wrong beforeThis is a super simple SWF.....not even any real navigation in it.

I am trying to embed a flash movie (.flv) into a webpage with a transparent background.
Requirements:
- Flv runs in transparent mode - I must be able to view html contents below.
- Movie does not auto play
- Movie is contained in a div and positionend absolutely using CSS
- No video controls or overlays, you shouldn't know it's an flv
- On load Movie is hidden
- Using jQuery, I click an image link to show and play the video, clicking it again stops and hides the video - vice versa
I have tried using Longtail Video Player with swfobject.js and javascript controls but no joy. Video is not transparent and controls with a click to play still feature.
Am I overcomplicating what appears to be quite a simple task.
I happy to explore any implementation.
Adobe flash embed parameters have been set correctly and wmode = transparent.

In Flash, via the authoring environment, you can put bitmaps in your movie that are compressed with JPEG but still support full alpha transparency, something JPEG does not support out-of-the-box. Is there a way to achieve the same when embedding bitmaps via the Flex [Embed] tag?

I've managed to get myself stuck in a situation where a database full of images ( transparent images of various products ) needs to be placed on the stage, all of which need to be aligned the same by the products height. My problem is that the png's of products are 'floating' and I have no control of where about's in the png it will sit ( could be tight at the top and loads of room at the bottom, vice versa)
Does anyone know an existing way to find out the png's 'true' height ( width is an extra ). I've thought about looping through the bitmap data and checking but wondered if anyone has invented this wheel already?

I have a Flex Mobile Project with a View in it. I placed a background image on that view. Now I want to add a StageWebView on it to render an HTML file, in such a way that the contents of the HTML scroll while the View's background is visible. However, when the StageWebView gets rendered, it has a white background. I didn't find a Background property on it to modify. I tried to change the stage's alpha, but it didn't work.
