In this tutorial : [URL]...it is said about something for color effect in properties pane. I can see the property pane but I can't find Color Effect. I'm using Flash Professional CS5.5. P.S.- This was my first Flash Tutorial (and that's really first one.)

View 3 Repliesgrab colors using the 'draw' function of a BitmapData object. But these are somewhat limiting, I'm trying to implement an eyedropper-type utility and need to be able to know what color the user is seeing at a certain pixel.
I've tried using draw() on the stage, but that doesn't include anything that's a child of the stage. Next, it occurred to me that I could just look at the children of the stage to find the foremost one that's under the mouse, and draw() that, but then we suddenly get into a possibly time consuming recursive search. The simplest/fastest/best way to find what color is being displayed under the mouse in Actionscript 3.
In another scripting language I have used for other purposes (AutoIt Script) there was a function called pixelSearch where you could find pixel locations based on a color. What I would like to do is develop a SWF that "reads" the colors of an image and applies a sparkle effect to the areas that are deemed bright enough (close enough to #ffffff). Ultimately, it would be really cool if I could make it figure out how large the bright area was to make a larger sparkle effect (increase size of sparkle MC) or that if it was too bright, it would assume it was background and not use the effect in that location.
This effect would be used to load various thumbnails from a database and render them in the browser, each with the same SWF but different image parameters, to make the images sparkle appropriately.
Does Nebdy know where i can find Dynamic Text Effect Tutorials. I'm trying to create a textbox that loads external text and, upon loading, displays the text like its being typed.In addition the new letters fade from white to a shade of blue, and lastly as the letters are being typed a sound clip is played per typed letter

I have a list of 98 countries. I have a world map that I have animated by storing all the movieClip names in an array. Below the world map I have the country names listed out in a few text boxes. I know I can turn these names into movieClips and then change their color that way. But I was wondering if there was a way for ActionScript 3 to "read" my paragraph and find the text name then change its color?

View 2 RepliesUp until CS4 the Colour effects dialog box was incredibly powerful. These 8 little fields were never the most intuitive, and it took a lot of fiddling before I realised their true power: the first column basically controls the contrast of an asset - and the 2nd column controls the brightness.Using these experimentally, you can acheive inverted colours, high contrast effects and colourising effect far superior to tints(see image).Well, you USED to be able to - when you could put high numbers in those fields.But the CS4 version of these controls caps any entered values to 100% and 255 respectively.It seems that it is only an effect of the interface - as I can cut and paste clips with the old settings from CS3 into CS4 and they display correctly.Is this an oversight on Adobe's part, or is there another explanation for the loss of a great design feature?
View 5 RepliesI have an array of buttons that are just text and I would like to change the color effect to a blueish color when clicked/active. I can obviously do this in the property inspector, but I would like to change it programatically. Is there a class I can use to accomplish this?

My question is now how to select a item of a datagrid only programmatically, and how to get the mouseover effect and underlining the corresponding row with a bright blue color?

This probably a stupid question, but I really can't figure it out.But I'm creating a XML Flash site. I can easily edit text and such with the XML file, but I'm trying to imbed a youtube video on the second page of the site, but for the life of me I cannot locate the second page in the .fla file.How can I locate allt he pages within the site? I've tried moving the 'playhead' but that didn't work.I found what I think is the menu that contains the links to the differnet pages in the site. But how do I go into the different items to view/edit the contents.
View 1 RepliesYesterday I was working in an exhaustive animation when the computer turned off. When I turned the PC on again there was a message about a recovery file. I opened the recovery file: it was the animation I was working with. I finished my work and closed the recovery file. Today I was looking for the file I was working with and I can't find it: Flash gives me just the original file not the recovery file.
View 3 Replieswhen I use the Edit/Find and Replace function, the results portion at the bottom doesn't reveal enough information under Location. I can see "Scene 'Scene 1' -> Layer ' " and that's all. I know if I click on that line the relevant window will open but when doing a "Find All" it's useful to know more information about the Location instead of clicking on every line. That Location column of the window will not widen with the drag icon. I can move the dividers from the other columns to the left but not to the right.
[Code]...
- I create a photo slideshow in AE
- I export from AE to an FLV file
- I put the FLV file in the root folder of my website
- I use the 'import video' command in Flash
- I choose 'none' for the skin.
- Then I drag a pause/play button to the stage and customize it a bit.
- I export or publish to create a swf file.
- In the component inspector I have tried now several things for the source link: /mysitename/photoslideshow.flv and /users/myname/sites/mysitename/photoslideshow.flv
- In dreamweaver I choose insert SWF and select the SWF file that is next to the FLV file in the root folder of my website. I have tried both options relative to: document and site root.
- I check to make sure the webpage, flv and swf files are published to the server.
- The FLV MIME type is indeed enabled on my server.
- When going online get an error that it cannot find the FLV!
I tried a test with a FLV file I created and using just a regular skin. The same thing happens
I have solved this problem before the first time it happened to 'put' the ENTIRE site in dremweaver vs only the individual files. But this time I have also tried that to no avail.

View 1 RepliesI'm presently working with the trial version of CS5 while my work sorts out my new laptop and licence.One thing, hopefully simple, that is confusing me is that I can't find the animation panel. I would like to be able to apply motion presets while changing the properties of the preset. E.g. have a bounce over a longer time, with a shorter vertical drop, etc. Help files say to use the animation panel, Window > Interactive > Animation.But I can't find this. If I look in my Windows menu, I can't find a submenu called "Interactive". How can I find this panel?
View 3 RepliesI bought a web template and have been working my way through the included FLA file (using adobe flash professional css). I have figured out how to do most things but am stumped with one of the movies clips. If you go to the site you will see the image slideshow. The text I am trying to modify is the bottom right box. I was able to change the first round of text which I found in a movie clip called obj 12. The problem is the I cannot find the text after that "Perfect solutions for every space" and so on. I have all the layers visable for obj 12 (everything under the eye is unchecked) and everything under the lock is unchecked. I see layer for the two lines of images which I was able to change but then there are no other layers for the other text. I went through every image/clip in the library

i have a button, with instance name lightblue_color. I am assigning a color to its color field like this: lightblue_color.transform.colorTransform.color = 0x65ffff; then i am adding an eventlistener to the button like this: lightblue_color.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ChangeColor); Then, in the function: public function ChangeColor(evnt:MouseEvent):void {trace(evnt.target.transform.colorTransform.color);} It prints 0. Why is that? Shouldn't it print 0x65ffff or do i need to do some type conversions?
View 2 RepliesHere's an unexplainable problem, at least for me... I'm trying to use Edit --> Find and Replace in Flash CS3 to replace a line of code that occurs in many frame scripts throughout the FLA, but when I click "Replace All", it says "No items found". I'm sure everything is set up correctly in the Find and Replace window:Search in: Current Document, for: Text, and I'm sure I'm typing everything correctly. I have "Frames/Layers/Parameters" and "Actionscript" checked below, and everything else unchecked.
View 7 RepliesI am trying to build a .xml image scroller using the scroll pane component in CS4.I choose Actionscript3. Drag the component to the stage. Give it an instance name.Then I look for the Parameters that used to be in the properties panel in CS3. Not there anymore.I find that the Components Inspector has Parameters in there now.OK.I need to use ContentPath to tell the component where the .xml file is so it can find the images for the scroller.Can't find 'ContentPath'.How can I point the component to a .xml file?Is there a way of getting Parameters back in with properties - it was so much easier.
