View 1 RepliesI 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:
public function setEffects(){
var BackValue = MovieClip(root).BackZ;
var halfChange = BackValue / 2;

I don't understand why every flash program now seems to have no blur filters anymore. I use to use them all the time and now I have nothing to use for filters.I inspected the code:
import flash.filters.BlurFilter;var blur:BlurFilter = new BlurFilter(10, 0, 4);floodlight_beam.filters = [blur]
Doesn't seem to work.Thing is that the movieclip is in another movieclip so I had the code posted there. Also posted on the first scene. Nothing works.I can say flash downgraded when filters were removed.
Is there a way to get TweenMax to tween the filters of an DisplayObject where The filters are added in the Flash IDE.
I want to Tween between two states and it would be nice if I could do it without creating the two states with bitmaps and tween between them. One state with the filters and one without the filters. [code]...
how to reproduce the Photoshop Image/Adjustments/Photo filters... in Flash with AS3. Is the same result that you get when you put a filter over the lenses of a camera. I exclude using tint and hue from the start because I think could get this from code by using color matrix class or convolution filter

View 2 RepliesBasically, the effect I'm going for is, you click on a button that calls an mc to the stage and blurs everything below it. Within that mc is a button that when clicked, should remove both the mc and 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 :)Main Timeline:
Code:
hint.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,manipulation);
function manipulation(event:MouseEvent){

Question 1: How do I add a filter to a movieclip from actionscript,More specificly, the "adjust color" filter, and I want to decrease brightness, saturation,hue, and contrast... by actionscript...If you dont know what I mean, use the circle tool to create a circle, convert to movie clip, click the "filter" tab, then click + and add a adjust color filter, you'll see what I mean...Question 2: I need to output text to 'text' documents, no I cannot use shared objects for this, as it is a program for a client, and it isn't safe enough for me.
Code:
var archive:Array = [];
archive[7] = "Hello I am the 8th archive";

I'm trying to lighten the load on the users' machine as much as possible. Which requires less resources: using Flash filters for Drop Shadow/Glow or creating vector shapes for the shadow/glow with the Modify > Shape > Soften Fill Edges command?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to visualize the results of a quiz in ActionScript 3.0.What I would like some input on is how to best link the "filters" (top right corner in attached image) to the data source in a flexible OOP way.The result array now contains both number of correct answers and meta data about the person taking the quiz. The meta data could be both discrete (sex) or continuous (age).
results = [{name: "Lisa", correct: 5, sex: 0, age: 52}, {name: "Peter", correct: 3, sex: 1, age: 32} ... ]
How do I tell the boxes to, for example, change color when I change filter?Should each box object hold its own data or should there be some sort of controller listening to the filter object to dispatch an event and thereafter call a box.setColor method?
I haven't seen many Flash games on facebook or other applications really utilize it yet (or appear to utilize it).
Are there some good professional examples of its use?
Is pixel bender just too slow for practical use on today's web hardware? I read that Flash will fallback to interpreted mode on older Macs (PowerPC), for example, but is that a deal killer?
My sample templates are missing, all that shows now are Cateregory: Advertising and different size banners. I searched my harddrive and found the rood folder where they are stored but only the folder for Advertising exist. I haven't deleted anything, so could it have been a glitch at installation, I had startup problems with Flash constantly crashing at the splash screen and finally had to uninstall and reinstall.

View 1 RepliesI've got a student doing a project, and has accounts on 2 different web servers at our school.
From server A, all the images in the swf are missing when it plays. (I believe the images are in simpleButtons, and are drawn using the drawing tools )
From server B, all the images are there.
Every time I install it it seems fine and works for a couple of days. Suddenly one day it won't open and all it says in the message is "flashresource file missing. please reinstall flash " So I say uh oh and reinstall. Works great so I think ok problem solved. Then a couple of days later it does it again. I have gone through this 5 times, each time reinstalling works for a few days or week then blammo suddenly "flashresourcefile is missing. please reinstall flash" I am completely stumped. After effects, premiere pro, soundbooth, all work great. Flash professiional is the only one doing this.

I was given a flash project to edit. I have to edit one image in Photoshop, but when I right click on it and choose Edit with -Photoshop, an error message comes up saying "The file G:Web-02Sitefilm120902.gif does not exist, unable to launch external editor". I don't understand how Flash can list the image and display the image when I click on it, yet it doesn't exist. I tried to copy the image and paste it in photoshop but it only pastes a very low resolution version of it. What do I do?

Sometimes, multiple times a day in fact, users of my web application are submitting a certain form which has about a dozen form fields, half of which are hidden fields, and half of the $_POST data is simply not present in the processing script. Note that the fields that are not present are at the very bottom of the form. I know this because this raises a fatal error, and an email is dispatched to me which includes the post data. And of course, neither I nor any of the developers on my team can reproduce the problem. Flash is involved in the process, as I'm using a library called Uploadify to display a progress meter. Here is the flow...why some of the post data would be getting wiped out?
-User visits edit screen for a page in the CMS I am using.
-Record id for the page is put into a form as a hidden value.
-User clicks the Uploadify browse button and selects a file (only single file selection is allowed).
-User clicks Submit button for my form.
-jQuery intercepts the form submit action, triggers Uploadify to start uploading, and returns false for the submit action (manually cancelling the form submit event so that Uploadify can take over).
-Uploadify uploads to a custom process script.
-Uploadify finishes uploading and triggers the Javascript completion callback.
-The Javascript callback calls $('#myForm').submit() to submit the form.
This happens on multiple browsers (Firefox 3.5, 3.6, Safari, Internet Explorer 7, 8) and multiple platforms (Mac OS 10.5, 10.6 and Windows XP, 7).

View 1 RepliesThis has me stumped and frustrated! I have some simple bitmaps that I've masked with graphics. When I use the playhead to watch the movie, it looks fine. When I preview or publish, the masked images are missing completely. What could I be doing wrong? A couple additional notes - the layer with the graphic (symbol) is rotated and the layer above it (mask) is also rotated at an angle. I don't see how that should matter at all...

However, when I run it from my HTC Incredible with Android 2.2 the app loads fine, but there is no on-screen keyboard and so I cannot log in. I can see the blinking cursor inside the username and password text fields. I can switch between them. I can even hit the login button and see an authentication error!
