I built a simple 3 layer slideshow of pix and now I want it to appear to reflect below the slideshow and gradually taper off, like a reflection in a black glass table. But how?
View 6 RepliesI have used the script below to load the mp3 file, but I couldn't do what I used to when I imported the mp3file to stage and I did it there. Is there a way to place fadeout at the end of the music and make the sound lower and lower, is there a way to apply something like that via Action Script?
mySound=new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("sommeu.mp3",true);
mySound.start(0,0);
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'm trying to create spinning rays in actionscript to use in my website.Below is the rough idea of what i'm trying to create.Is it possible to create absolutely with 0 images.Following is the actionscript code in which i couldn't figure out how to add gradient, transperant background and little radial gradient to create glow effect.
Code:
function CreateRays():Shape {
var ray:Shape = new Shape();
ray.graphics.beginFill(0xFF9900,.5);
ray.graphics.lineStyle(1,0xFF9900,.5);
[code]....
If you paste above code in 1st frame of your scene with nothing on your scene, it will give you sweet rotating rays!
I have some problem with gradient fill in Flash Pro CS5 For example I want to fill some rectangle with reflected gradient. When I click on one of the buttons in ColorMixer Panel (Extend, Reflect, or Repeat) nothing is changed - Reflect and Repeat options seems to doesn't work.

View 1 Repliestransparent gradient not importing as designed. I created a button in Illustrator and exported as SWF. When I imported into Flash, it is displaying improperly (flawed). What is the full-proof solution for this?
Really don't want to have to go the bitmap route or re-create directly in Flash.
I am trying to make the background gradient change colors. I put my first gradient in one keyframe, then created another keyframe at the end with a different gradient, but when I converted it to symbol then added the tween, the transition jumps from one color to another, it is not gradual transition I wanted, it just jumps

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;
View 2 RepliesHas 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).
View 13 RepliesI have 30 values coming from an xml file, and I need to programatically find out which of them is the lowest, then I need also to find out exactly where it is located, so I can get the value that is located next. What I mean is:
Let's suppose that on the following xml, Cat2 is the lowest value, I need not only to print Cat2, but also Dog1. So, I will need to find out how to get Dog1 knowing that Cat2 is the lowest value.

I'm working with Adobe Flash CS4. designing website it's a tour guide so it has a lots of pictures in it that's making the file too large so when i test it takes awful long time or doesn't shows me anything at all.
View 1 RepliesI normally work with print design but am designing some flash banners for a client. Just have some questions about file size.My current banner is 125kb but they want it under 25kb. Is that practical for a flash banner?Also, I have done tests with import options and it looks like if I import my artwork as an .ai file and convert to symbol then it gives a lower file size than importing as a png or jpg.How can I make my file size lower? I know it's hard to answer without seeing the file but is there an option similar to 'save for web' in photoshop where I can adjust the quality to reduce file size?
View 1 RepliesI'm try to lower the contrast of a movieClip, but it seems to have no effect. contrast, saturation, brightness do nothing.
My Code:
var bobRun:MovieClip = new bobRunning(); addChild(bobRun); bobRun.scaleX = .45; bobRun.scaleY = .45; bobRun.x = 350; bobRun.y = 30; bobRun.contrast = -100;bobRun.saturation = -100;bobRun.brightness = -100;
So, I had a problem animating a movie clip on mouseover which was solved here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/496745?tstart=0 Now the problem I'm having is that I want to movie some of those clips to a lower layer so that they animate behind an object on the top layer.If I put the same code on that bottom layer as in the top layer,
leaf.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,doStartAnim);
it tells me that I have a duplicate function definition.If I cut out the second half of the code,
function doStartAnim(e:MouseEvent):void {
e.currentTarget.play();
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,doStartAnim) ;
}
and just put that other part it doesn't give me the error, but mousing over the leaf does nothing. Any thoughts?
P.S. - If I leave the entire code for the movie on the top layer (with the movie on a seperate background layer) I get the following error:
Description: 1120: Access of undefined property leaf5. Source: leaf5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,doStartAnim);I hope that all makes sense!
I was wondering is there a way that I can receive stream on my broadcast server and then republish that stream with lower quality on the same broadcast server. I was reading server side API reference but I couldnt find anything like that.Only thing I found is to use %i in FMLE Stream field and then broadcast same stream with different bitrates, but can I take live stream that is being broadcasted and republish it with lower quality/bitrate on the server side somehow?

However, I also want the bottom corners to have a radius.
I'm developing an AIR app that is receiving TUIO events from a Framework for a fiducial marker based multitouch table. Until yesterday I was faking the events by mouse to work faster, but then I connected everything to a TUIO simulator and the problems appeared.
The TUIO Simulator is a java app. By dragging markers on the simulator you can send OSC messages that I'm forwarding to my AIR app. The problem is that I'm noticing that when I drag something on the simulator, my AIR app lose the focus, and the AIR framerate suddendly drops. If I drag something on my simulator and I switch super fast to the AIR window, everything goes smooth, so it seems the problem is that if my AIR app is not the active app it's redrawn at a lower framerate (I remember reading something about this, not sure).
So my questions are: am I right about the fact that inactive windows in AIR are redrawn at lower framerate? do you have any workaround to fix it and to allow me to interactive with the java app without my AIR framerate drops?
I would like to gradualy take lower the _alpha from 100 - 0 through actionscript. I found this in the actionscript archive of Kirupa.
function disappear(){
//call onEnterFrame dynamic event handler
_root["clip1"].onEnterFrame = function(){
//decrement alpha by 5

can i use this to target an instance ? how would I do it if the instance is id_mc and it is in the _parent.
I have two layers in my flash cs4. Lower layer contains pink color random brush strokes. The upper layer contains black rectangle. I am able to see the pink color brush strokes through my black rectangle as if I have reduced the alpha of the rectangle?

I have to build an Adobe AIR application with the Namespace 2.6. The problem is, I recently downloaded Flash Builder 4.6 onto a new computer, and it requires the Namespace to be 3.1. Otherwise, it throws an error. The only solutions I can find online are to change the Namespace in the app.xml file to 3.1. This however causes issues later on when I try to Code-sign the application.The easiest fix would be to make Flash Builder build the application with Namespace 2.6.
