IDE :: Gradient Color Doesn't Work As Mask?
Mar 16, 2009
why do my gradient color doesn't work as mask?
I thought I can use the gradient color to assign a different opacity level to my mask. isn't correct ?
It just works as a normal mask...

I decided to try to use setInterval for myanimation, which is just a mouse trail.However, I'm trying to get teh mouse trail to be a dynamic mask.In my previous swf this was achieved by using a holder mc with the animation inside and then using this as the mask. But this time I just canpt seem to hit on the right way to get it to work. The code I am using for the mouse trail is:
Code:
var i:Number = 0;
var myInt:Number;
var t:MovieClip;[code].....
in the function, but now the trail doesn't resize and the mask still doesn't work.

my first time trying to draw a multi-color gradient in actionscript 3. So I got this code from the help docs, but I can't seem to get a vertical gradient, whatever formula or number I use for rotate, it stays stuck on the default horizontal gradient :(

I've used this code to apply a gradient alpha mask: bg_mc.cacheAsBitmap=true;mask_mc.cacheAsBitmap=true;bg_mc.setMask(mask_mc); Then I applied a motion tween to the mask_mc clip. But the motion tween doesn't happen? It only shows the first frame of the motion tween. It does apply the alpha mask though. Why doesn't it show the rest of the motion tween.

I have an animation that has mask in it. I'm using actionscript to set the mask.The problem I am having is all the mask after frame 1 doesn't work. When I trace the movie clip name it says null. I know it's because flash can't access movie clip's name because hasn't loaded yet.I have the AS in a .as. I have tried putting the as on the first frame, same thing.

I'm dynamically attaching a movieclip linkage to my root timeline. The linkage has two layers inside -- a graphic shape mask and an empty movieclip for loading images. The empty movieclip is masked by the graphic shape mask.I'm using a MovieClipLoader object to load and manage the preloader for the empty movieclip when it loads images.Why does the mask sometimes work and sometimes not? Would the image type have anything to do with it? Or is it something to do with the act of attaching the linkage and then loading images into the empty movieclip contained therein?

I have a MC with a text form with several input and combo boxes (flash <=> php) it as a scroll and it works fine, except when I put the MC under a mask. It still scroll's but nothing shows inside the input boxes when I type on it. Is this "normal" procedure for flash or It's a bug of some kind?

In a project, I've got 2 background (one light and one dark). My main background is the dark one and when I move my mouse I wanna show in a small circle with an alpha gradient the light one.
But I don't know how can I do that...
I try and I've got white mask with the light background in my circle or I've just got the dark background and no mask.
If someone already do that and can explain it to me ?

so I have the gradient mask set up going on in a external swf called "rates". In the main timeline of the main swf "cwsite" I load "rates" into a empty movie clip entitled "windowloader". Unfortunalty when I preview the whole site, everything loads but the gradient mask isnt working. If I just preview the rates swf, the mask works.This is flash player 9 with AS2. Here is my gradient mask code in the rates swf:
Code:
_mask.cacheAsBitmap = true;
main.cacheAsBitmap = true;

I have created a Sprite that contains 3 movieclips that act as masks for another movieclip. 2 of the moviclips have an alpha gradient but I cannot get the alpha to work. I have the three masks because they are separately animated.Here is my code.
var maskContainer = new Sprite();
maskContainer.addChild(WebPageMaskEndT_mc);
maskContainer.addChild(WebPageMaskEndB_mc);[code]....
NOTE: I have also tried setting cacheAsBitmap for the 3 individual masks but no results.

I have a transparent png bubble in movie clips that are being randomly sized and animation started using code. The design has a reflection and I am using a gradient mask for the effect. The issue is when the bubbles animate they are causing drawing artifacts. Please see the attached screen shot or you can see the swf here - Code: bottomMask.cacheAsBitmap = true;beaker_bottom.cacheAsBitmap = true;beaker_bottom.mask = bottomMask;

Has there been an update this weekend thats broke masking I have tried to gradient mask an object both by using a vector mask and a png mask. NONE OF THEM WORK! Last week it woeked - and nooene else here at my job can get it to work either.Gradient masks are just shows by a square. No way of of getting smooth edges (gradients on a masked object anymore).

I want to apply a gradient mask to a movieclip that contains a flv video. I'm aware that i would need to cache the movieclip as a bitmap in order to apply a mask using actionscript, but would that work even if the movieclip itself contains an flv video?

Layer 1: Linear gradient with transparency on each side.
Layer 2: Graphic symbol of an animation that runs across the entire screen.
The edges of the gradient should mask the animation on either side so it looks like it's fading in from one side while fading out on the other.Is it possible, using just the timeline, to achieve this effect? It's been awhile since I've done timeline animations but I know I've done this before I just can't, for the life of me, figure out the magic combination.I've tried changing the gradient from graphic to movieclip, I've adjusted blend mode, and bitmap caching, yet each time I run the animation the gradient is ignored completely.I read that using masks for gradients are ignored so I changing the layer back to it's original and specify the symbol as movieclip with blend alpha did nothing as well...

I have a movicelip that has a cirlce with a gradient fill. When I rollover I use a color transform to change the color. I'm not sure how to get the color transform to return to its original gradient fill once I roll out of the movieclip
var overColor:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform;overColor.color = 0xffcc00;
mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, buttonOver);
function buttonOver(e:MouseEvent):void{ mc1.transform.colorTransform = overColor;}

I use the following code to change the color of a gradient logo:
var myColor:Color = new Color(logo_mc);
myColor.setTransform({ra:100, rb:0, ga:100, gb:0, ba:100, bb:0});
Playing around with Fireworks, however, I found out that if I were to increase HUE from 0 to 121 the logo would look much better. how to modify the object {ra:100, rb:0, ga:100, gb:0, ba:100, bb:0} to reflect a HUE increase of 121 points?

For a project I'm working on I'm trying to create a Flash file with a constantly color-shifting gradient that fills up the entire browser window. For a better explanation please see the following link:
View the Example
Don't worry about the moving balls, those are just there to challenge the frameRate of the movie, which has a maximum of 60. If you look at the background you can see the gradient effect I'm referring to.
The method I'm currently using to create the gradient animation is a simple shape tween on the Flash timeline that tweens between shapes with different gradient colors. I'm definitely not achieving the performance I want using this technique.
I've also tried creating a static gradient and shifting its color over time using ColorTransform, but this doesn't offer any better performance.
So that's a long-winded way of asking what people think would be a better way to create such a color-shifting gradient while getting better performance? Some examples might be through bitmapData or using PixelBender, but I'm not versed enough in these techniques to know which would get me the best performance.
