Make Subtle Adjustments To Simlar Symbols On The Stage?

Aug 13, 2009

Let's say I create a symbol of a stick figure holding a shield.Symbol 1: The Stick manSymbol 2: The ShieldSymbol 3: the Stick man holding the shield.Now, how would it be possible to place several copies of Symbol 3 on the stage while making subtle adjustments to EACH symbol 3 on the stage.Let's say I want to make each stickman slightly a different color without every single stickman taking on the same color.How could I go about making this subtle of an adjustment without effecting every instance of symbol 1 and 2 on the stage. Is this possible in flash??? It seems that flash has so much power, but I have yet to figure out how to use it all, and I sure hope something like this is possible.

ActionScript 2.0 :: XML - Make Some Adjustments With The Path To The Files

Mar 1, 2007

I'm trying to get this xml 'image_loader' (similar to kde wipes) rotation thing working for this page i'm working on. i have to make some adjustments with the path to the files according to how it is going to work on this site i'm working on. i'm not sure how or where to change the path in the actionscript to get to the path.

i've included a folder called '- example working without paths' which is to show how it is supposed to look. this works when everything is in one folder. but, when i setup the site structure the swf can't find the xml or the images to load...so i'm not really sure how to fix it. the 'root.hml' in the root folder represents the main html file that i'm using for the site.

ActionScript 3.0 :: MVC Using Swfaddress - Make Adjustments To File Based On The Change Event Listener

Jul 11, 2009

I think I had this issue before I decided to try and learn mvc, which I'm doing right now. it's not a complex problem. But I can't figure it out. First, should I add swf address to my controller? that's what I think, considering it's between the view and the update. But mainly... I feel like it's just going to loop.. for instance. I add the .setValue method on a click handler. and it changes the url and everything.. grand. but during the change it fires off the change event of course.. now how can I make adjustments to my file based on the change event listener, if it's going to fire every time something in my movie sets the value?? as you can see i'm trying to use simplemvc's classes.. i'm just trying to learn though.

Professional :: Symbols Are Appearing On My Stage When Export My Movie?

May 14, 2011

I've made a movie which has symbols waiting to come onto my stage. When I watch it, all seems to be fine until I run a test. A random symbol sits in the top left corner not moving which isn't there when I watch it.

I've looked through all the layers and none of them are duplicated. When i do a test, this following message appears:WARNING: Multiple 3D objects on the same frame have the same instance name. 3D instance names must be unique. All but one of the instances will be renamed during export.

I would like to have the AI avoid them and I just figured it would save me some time if I could do it this way instead of coding the placement of 50+ items.

Professional :: Create A JSFL Command To Select Each Of The 10 Symbols On The Stage??

Mar 6, 2011

I don't really know that much about Commands in Flash, but I was thinking this could be a possible Command to create.See, I have this puppet made up of dozens of separate pieces, all on their own layers.It's very tedious to click on 10 different symbols in order to move the character's arm, for example.I was wondering if there was a way to create a JSFL command to select each of the 10 symbols on the stage.

I tried clicking each one, and saving the "Change Selection" actions from the History Panel as a Command, but that is location-based.As soon as I move those symbols to a new location, the command I saved no longer selects them.And I can't select the objects by layer or frame, because it doesn't seem to want to save those either.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Display List - Tracing All Symbols On Stage In Timeline

Jun 23, 2009

I am having some kind of issue with the display list? I have a function that goes through various frames of my timeline and then traces all the symbols on the stage..
ActionScript Code:
for (var pm = 0; pm < this.numChildren; pm++) {
var child = this.getChildAt(pm);
trace(child.name)
}

What I am noticing is that it will return everything until it runs into a symbol that does not exist on every frame.. as soon as it does encounter a symbol that does not exist on all frames of the main time line it spits out -
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at 3_Migration_Standard_Nav_v2_fla::MainTimeline/pMovie()

Professional :: Overlaping Symbols Show Stage Color Not Background Image?

Aug 28, 2010

I have been struggling with this with CS4 and CS5. I am working on an animation with a couple of characters comprised of several pngs I converted to symbols. When one characters symbols overlap another characters the swf file shows the stage color rather than the background image I have placed in the file. I can publish it as an html with the option of playing it windowless transparent and it will remove this problem. But I would like to just be able to play the swf file without this issue.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash CS5 IDE - Symbols And Nested Symbols And The Difference Between Graphics And Movie Clips And Scoping

Oct 26, 2010

I'm working through a book called Foundation Game Design with Flash, and I'm finding the Flash IDE confusing. I've been programming for several years, so working with AS3 directly is far easier than trying to understand symbols and nested symbols and the difference between graphics and movie clips and scoping issues and all that -- when tied into the IDE.

How many of you who are making games in AS3 also use the Flash IDE? Can anyone recommend a resource that is AS3 heavy and Flash IDE light? I don't care how much time I may or may not save by using things like the timeline, I just want to understand what I'm using.

ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 : Duplicate Movie Clip Adjustments?

Mar 5, 2010

I have found a little FLA which demonstrates how the duplicate movie clip can be used.I tried to simplify and adjust the AS according to my needs. With some part i was successful but with some i wasn't.

i want to be able to set the beginning X position of the clips as "0" in X values. but when i assign "0" to the this._x , it naturally generates/duplicates all the clips at the same point. What I'm trying to achieve by doing this is, when the stage is scaled in means of width my clips should start to originate from the very left of the stage whatever the stage's width is.

my second question is how can i adjust the speed?When I stretch the stage width they(duplicated clips) all speed up in order to travel the whole stage in the same amount of time as they do with the initial/beginning stage width. I want the speed to stay constant whatever the distance is.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Get Bitmap Child - Make A Color Map Inside Certain Symbols

Feb 8, 2010

I need a Bitmap to make a color map inside certain symbols. What I do is import the png file and export it to as3. After that I drag and drop it inside the Symbols that need it in the correct position. What I need to know is how to get a Bitmap child inside a symbol that belongs to a class if I can't set the instance name of that Bitmap. for ex: a Symbol of the class MyClass has an img exported as Class MyBitmapClass and Base Class flash.display.BitmapData. I want, through as3, to get this MyBitmapClass object.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Level Adjustments On Bitmap Data Object Via PaletteMap

Jun 9, 2006

How to do level adjustments (like Photoshop levels) on a bitmapData Object using the paletteMap method. I am fine with syntax and all that, just don't understand how the channel array values are used well enough to come up with them for myself. I have read to use a palette of 0 and 1, but I am not sure what that means. The goal of this is to take a grayscale image and get sharper black and white values for it. Also, I hope to understand how to use this method better in general.

Professional :: Make The Stage Height Shorter By "cropping Out" The Bottom Portion Of The Stage?

Sep 21, 2010

Right now my stage dimensions are 980 X 800 px. I need to cut or "crop out" the bottom portion of the footer because its height is too long. So I changed the stage dimensions to 980 X 600 px (and changed the corresponding dimensions in the embed tag in the index.html file to match). Doing this seems to cut out the bottom but at the same time adds space to the top and seems to distort the overall spacing. Is there a simple way to crop out the bottom of the stage (just like cropping out a section of a photo)?
