I drew a logo and made it a movie clip but I can't get the filter in the property inspector to work correctly. The logo is blue and the shadow shows up blue and the bevel won't work.

View 3 RepliesI've built a component with custom inspector and preview file. I was wondering haw can I call an embedded function in preview from inspector?
The problem I've got is when I open two new FLA files and put the component in each file the preview doesn't refresh itself while switching between active windows (I have to make a change inside the inspector to update the preview)
I'm creating a component which requires the selection of one item from a list of items in the component inspector. If you look at the checkbox component, you'll see a tag called labelPlacement which allows the selection of one of four choices. I would like to reproduce this for my component.
I do not need to display a list using my component, I just need to allow the choice from a list.
i never use compenents, and was recently asked to build one. Ha. Anyway, i have a working class that does all i expect, however, when transforming the class to a component, i am having trouble getting the inspector to actually 'set' the variables. below is a very general idea of what i am doing. All the variables show in the spector, but only the default values are working at runtime.
[Code]...
I have a created a component, and I can get the value in component inspector(code is in timeline)
But now I want that code to be in .as file.
how can I get access to the component in the stage and how to get its parameter values.
I have them appearing fine in the component definition panel, but the values entered here seem to be overridden by the component inspector and the var doesn't appear here unless I enter it manually and then there's no way to make it a list.In my class I have:
Code:
[Inspectable(defaultValue="controls", type="list", enumeration="controls,noControls")]
public var controlValue;
[code]...
I'm curious when Adobe are going to repair the performance issues inside component inspector panel in CS5? Scrolling through the properties of some components is ridiculously slow, 486 like slow...
View 2 RepliesI found that there is a setting in the Component Inspector within Schema called Formatter. I am wondering if this is what I use, and if so how to format for time such as HH:MM:SS ? Or if I have to use something else?
View 1 RepliesHere is the code:
var captionLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
captionLoader.load(new URLRequest("caption.txt"));
captionLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
var captionFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
captionFormat.font = "Helvetica";
[Code] .....
All properties under "captionField" work fine, but none of the three under "captionFormat".
Just been playing around with the tutorials, on the Set properties/Get properties. Everything is all cool, except the "instance name" aspect. I dnt really understand that too well. Is it possible to change an Mc Name dynamically? If you look at my FLA when you hit the top left red button you will get a trace of the mcName as "square". Now if you input a new mc Name on the right hand side, you will see it change on the left hand side. But i want to know why it doesnt remain as the new mc Name, it still goes back to square.
View 3 RepliesI forgot to put it in the title so I'll just place it here; I am using AS 2.0. I know that there are other ways to accomplish the goal that am after, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to access the properties of an object's properties?
Here is the code that I thought of, even though it doesn't work
var a:Object = new Object();
a.bproperty = 0; //lowerlevel properties
a.cproperty = 1; // lowerlevel properties
[Code].....
This really just boils down to how I am organizing the code(I have ideas on what do next, and i am 99% sure that I can get them to work), and if there is a way to dynamically access the properties of the objects properties, It will save me from creating yet another large block of code for my project.

There is the following bug in the gallery:Once you open up the gallery you see a container with all small thumbnails.If you start mouse over the main container you can see the following happen:
- shadow filter change
- quality of the thumbs change
There is a rotationY and rotationX on the main container. As soon as i remove that there is no bug and the shadow and quality of images is perfect.So what does flash do to children and their filters inside a container when using transform propertys before a MouseEvent happen to that maincontainer.You should use F5 a few times before you excaly can see it.
I've run into a bug where text (static or dynamic) is cut off when filters are applied. For example, I can create a static text object on the stage with a common font (Arial) and put some text into it, and it displays just fine. I'm putting a tween on it to gently fade it in from invisible (alpha=0%) to full (alpha=100%) and back to invisible. At this point, the text looks just fine. The trouble starts when I add a filter, like drop shadow for example. Once the filter is applied, the last character is cut off. For example, if the last word ends with an 'e', the 'e' character is lopped off vertically so only the left two thirds of the 'e' displays and the rightmost remaining third is not visible. I've tried quite a bit of adjusting things to fix this... adding multiple extra spaces at the end, increasing the size of the text box, several different fonts... nothing works except taking the filter back off. This is on the Mac version of Flash, by the way.

View 13 RepliesDoes anyone know a way to generate a print job that doesn't lose the movie clip filters (drop shadow, glow, etc.)
It seems to drop them regardless of whether printAsBitmap is true or false.
How Can i Add Filters to movie clips By using As3 Code?
View 2 RepliesI'm making a picture gallery. I have a thumbnail container, which contains a mask and a dynamically generated mc called "thumbnail_mc". Thumbnail_mc contains all the sprites of the thumbnails.When I click on a thumbnail, the thumbnail get's a glow filter added to it. Now, I want to remove all filters on all the other sprites before I apply that filter to the Sprite.
This is what I'm trying to do:
Code:
thumbnail_mc.children.filters = [];
How do I do that?
Im using this filter to blur a movieclip on a click event.
var filter:BlurFilter=new BlurFilter(4,4,BitmapFilterQuality.HIGH);
var filters_array:Array=new Array();
filters_array.push(filter);
mainCradle.filters = filters_array;
This runs fine when I go to control -> test But when published it doesn't apply the filter well it does but you caunt see it on screen.I created a dynamic text box and sent mainCradle.filters to it and it would appear that a filter is attached. Its just not using it.
Basically, the effect I'm going for is, you click on a button that calls an mc to the stage and blurs everything below it. When you click another button (that was also called), that mc (and button) is removed, as well as the blur filter.This is the code I have. (Also, just ignore my stupid function names. I pretty much just name them after the next word I hear in the song I'm listening to :)
Code:
hint.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,manipulation);
function manipulation(event:MouseEvent){
this.addChild(newHint);[code].........
and I don't have any compiler errors, the stuff just simply won't unblur.
According to flash documentation Filters are in PROPERTIES panal.But Filter are not available.
View 9 Repliesi have on the timeline a movie clip symbol with a blur on it. its tweened keyframed.in the stage i can see the effect. when i apple enter to do a quick .swf of my video, it doesnt show up.the image is crisp and not blurry...so i then tried to render out a .mov of the project (because thats going to be my final file type).when i exported a quicktime, there was still no blur filter

View 1 RepliesI am starting to learn how to style components in Flash/AS3.
One of the things I unable to figure out is whether or not I can apply a filter/effect on the label of a component rather than on its skin.For example I want to have a button with a drop shadow applied on the text.
how to apply filters in graphics? I'm curious cuz of this video here. It seems like the very same filters people use for text tool. How did the he use the filters in graphics?
View 3 RepliesI'm wondering if there is some library (or maybe tutorial?) which can produce Instagram-like color tweaks for Bitmap/BitmapData objects in AS3. Color Matrix/ColorMatrixFilter will not be probably able to achieve such as results or yes?
View 1 RepliesI figured out why my external, embedded player wouldn't link back to my site: I was using _self rather than _blank, which I'm sure many of you knew.
However, my next stumbling block is that any subsequent link now needs to be authorized if you are using a browser with a pop-up blocker (IE7, Firefox, etc.). What I've noticed is that YouTube has somehow completely bypassed this, and I need to figure out how.
First, check out this site for an example of my player and YouTube's player on the same page: [URL]
Note in the lower-right the YouTube clip. Click that first. Notice how the pop-up blocker doesn't ask for permission? Then, beneath that is my "Comic Wonder" player. If you click on any links, it'll work, but only if you allow your pop-up blocker to allow it.
how YouTube has bypassed that?
I've been working on an old flash project from a few years back and ran into a little trouble with filters.My program requires the ability to zoom in to any zoom level, which works perfectly fine. And now I've made it so the selected object would glow with the use of Flash's Glow Filter.The problem which has arisen, however is that I get a warning message: "Warning: Filter will not render. The DisplayObject's filtered dimensions (4154, 4154) are too large to be drawn."Now obviously I understand why this would occur, however I'm wondering if there is a way around it. My first guess was setting up a screen size mask, obviously way lower than the max resolution hoping that cull the movie clip to the size of the screen, but that was unsuccessful.
Is there a way to dynamically clip objects and if so would that work? As surely if I could clip the object in run time to the bounds of the screen, the resolution would never exceed that of the screen. If not, any other ideas as to how I can make a large object glow?URL...Also there's dl.dropbox.com/u/956557/Glow/GlowTest.fla if you want to take a gander at the source for that.
I am creating an interactive canvas where a user can click on items (movie clips) in the canvas and the movie zooms in and displays the item.
The problem is when I add filters to these items some of them disappear in a minute or so.
here is the code:

var BackValue = MovieClip(root).BackZ;
var halfChange = BackValue / 2;

if my code is
Code: Select allvar mcFilters:Array = new Array();
mcFilters = mc.filters;
mcFilters.push(new GlowFilter());
