[code]The problem is that the mask isn't applied. Now, if I just add mask_container it adds to the stage just fine. If I mask mask_container with square, it masks just fine. They're both Sprites so both are on the display list.
View 3 RepliesI am creating a very simple mask using motion tweening. I created some text on a layer and made it a masked layer. Then I created a mask layer which consists of a circle that will span across the text. When I play the movie the circle does not show up at all in the frames the mask layer spans (it's purple on a black background) and the circle does not move across the text like I told it to with the motion tweening. I don't know why it's not working. For some reason the circle isn't showing on the stage at all and it's not moving across the text. I don't know if I have it set up wrong on the timeline or what. Here's the steps I followed to create the mask:
1.insert a new layer in which I named it mask and click frame 1 on this layer
2. select the oval tools on the tools panel and set the stroke to none
3. set the fill color to purple
4. draw a circle and click the selection tool and drag a marquee around the circle to select it.
5. click insert on the menu bar, click motion tween then click ok in dialog box about converting it to a symbol to be tweened
6. click the last frame in the mask layer and drag the circle to the end of the line of text
7.click mask on the timeline to select the mask layer, click modify on the menu bar, point to timeline then click layer properties
8. verify the show check box is selected in the name section, click the lock check box to select it, click the mask option button in he type section, then click ok.
9. play the movie in which the circle object covers the text on the masked layer as it moves across the stage.

I've read through umpteen Flash threads of frustrated users who export SWF and anything visible outside the stage appears in the SWF when opened in a browser.None of the solutions have worked for me.My file is called statement_onlineheader.fla.URL...I have my mask layer above a folder containing all other layers.I have also tried moving the mask layer above individual layers.Stuff outside the stage appears in the exported SWF.
View 5 Repliesive gotten one movie clip to mask another in the actions frame but i cant seem to be able to mask the flames which are a shape with a movieclip in this as file. im not getting any errors but the mask isnt covering anything look near the bottom at s.mask=mask_mc; there are about 20 "s" shapes spawning per second if that has anything to do with it
Code:
//this package turns an mc into a flaming button that calls a javascript function
package

View 13 RepliesI am trying to do some text effects by using a text mask but I can't get the mask to work. I can successfully mask a circle over a rectangle, and even mask a rectangle over text, but text over a gradient rectangle just doesn't work - I end up with the rectangle moving across the stage, but no text mask.
View 2 RepliesI've tried to make an alpha mask using a photo and a mask containing a alpha gradient. Using this code:
ActionScript Code:
maskee.cacheAsBitmap = true;
maskMC.cacheAsBitmap = true;
maskee.setMask("maskMC");
But it's not working? The 'blob' mask in the center should motion tween bigger. I can see the alpha mask in action, but the motion tween doesn't do anything. The image is freezing.
I have a mask with a MC with 9ss and for some reason when I resize that MC it doesnt use the 9ss. Does anyone have a fix for this?
View 12 RepliesI've hit a wall trying to get this to work: - I've created a movie clip that contains 14 layers, each layer is a 3D Y-rotation using a motion tween on a movieclip object (just a solid rectangle) - Trying to emulate a venetian blind transition effect When I put this "mask" movie clip on my timeline, it won't allow me to use this as a mask!! - I tried setting up the mask in AS3 as well, using imgMC.mask = maskMC; Does Flash allow this? Can I use 3D motion tweens as masks? it doesn't seem to allow it. I was hoping maybe I missed something.
View 2 Repliesi have the AS setting the mask, and my fonts are embedded.. but the dynamic text doesnt mask my other movieclip.my dynamic text is "fly_in" MC with the text field inside. the MC label is: "headerTxt_mask" the sheen is labeled "sheenMC" and put in a layer below "headerTxt_mask" in the same "fly_in" MC then on the first frame of my scene i have:
ActionScript Code:
fly_in.sheenMC.setMask(fly_in.headerTxt_mask);
The dynamic txt field is supposed to be the mask for the sheen, so all you see is the sheen...
So I've made a circular preloader made with some shapes and masks. Everything like this works. What I want to do now is add a movieclip of animations to the stage and make it look like this movie clip is in the progress circle of the preloader. So what I did is create a movieclip container to hold all of the shapes that animate on loading. I then used that movieclip container to mask the movieclip of animations.What happens when published is the movieclip of animations (the particles) loads over the shapes, but all of their masks are gone. So it's as if when I applied the mask to the container, all of it's children and their masks stopped working. Is there a way to correctly do this?
View 2 RepliesWhy the following doesnt work:
Code:
for (var i = 1; i < 6; i++) {
var mc = "mc"+i;
var mask = "mask"+i;
mc.mask._xscale = 50;
}
But, if I change the line mc.mask._xscale to mc1.mask1._xscale, it will work. I also put a trace(mc) and trace(mask) and it spits out mc1, mc2..mc5 and mask1 to mask5.
i have an object that that I would like to apply a mask to like:
myObject.mask = theMask
this works fine but when I alter the rotationX property like so
myObject.rotationX = 10;
the mask no longer works, any ideas
I've got some code that reveals a mask in that swooshy/wavy style, which starts of nice and smooth at the top of the reveal but as it gets further down the page it speeds up and doesn't look smooth.Here is the code. I've also attached the example of what it is doing.I've been looking at this code blankly for a couple days now and I'm still no furher forward.
Code:
//Global vars
mWidth = 600;

I have a jpg that I load dynamically into my swf. When I try to set a mask to it doesn't work?

I have a movie clip that is a motion tween with a shape with fade... Now I want to put this mc as a mask .. and showing a part of an image with lot of this mc's I know that I have to use duplicate movie clip, but the mc as mask isn't working

View 2 Replies1- is there a way to make use of any universal URL in flash ? i mean. not needing to have the full path of the target in the button since the target is in the same folder than the page where is the flash ?
2- now, thats a funny one, i can make mask to make thing appear in an animation fashion style, no probleme as with any Adobe program... however unlike all other Adobe programs, it seem i am unable to find HOW make the exact reversed result... I want to make thing disappear without using the alpha channel, because i want to make it in an animation style way. It is to use for a sub-menu, where when you click the button to open the sub-menu, you see it appear nicely and in an animated way. But when you click again the button to close it, or once you picked your choice, it close the sub-menu in the exact reverse way it was open...
I saw one video on how to use flv file in flash and mask it. It is working fine when I am using the following option while importing a video file to flash:
Load external video with playback component
But when I tried with the following option it doesn't show the background, it shows only movie which is playing nicely. But not the background which has a bill board.Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline.It seems the mask is not working with this option.Actually it should be like the above.But when I am using the option Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline while importing the flv video, getting the result like below: It is not showing the Bill board as above.See the layers created:
I have a problem which I can't resolve. The problem is that if I apply a mask to object, it shows up deformed in swf.Here is what I see in Flash CS5 (sorry for large images): And this is what I get when I compile it and run swf (or run it embedded in html):
It looks a little bit rotated and skewed to the left. If I copy and paste the movieclip with mask to a new flash document, the problem dissaperas, so I guess it has something to do with Flash settings. I tried to compile for Flash 10 and Flash 9, but the deformation remains. The problem is that creating a new flash document and copying all images to new one is not an option, because the project is ~80MB.Here are my publish settings.
Here is a picture of the mask.And here's where the mask cut off the texts.why the mask cuts off the texts when the mask is drawn close to the orange border?
View 11 RepliesI want to know how can I mask an image on one layer which should enogh for other movie clips. Like the following ...
1) First layer ........................ Actionscript
2) Mask layer ....................... Rounded rectange with some design
2) Image layer ...................... Best image (as a background for all other movie clips)
3) Movie Clips layer .............. 10 Movie clips (which are like slides and will be act like one webpage each)
What I want is the mask layer (Layer 2) should be enogh for all the movie clips in layer 3. No need to mask in each movie. I tried in the same sequence but it did not work for me.
I'm creating a UI which utilizes UILoader component to load content that I won't have control of.The "window" where I want content to appear is 950 x 420. Doing a simple test, I created a .swf with a stage size that matched, but with content bleeding over the edge of the stage.To ensure users only see what's on the stage of the loaded content - and not what's bleeding off - would the correct action be to create a mask for the UILoader instance? Are there any alternatives to using a mask? Like a property or something? (I didn't see anything.)

View 5 RepliesI have created mask layer with single MC cosisting of couple of instaces of another MC. This is a set of growing squares. The problem is that only first instance gives mask effect. Rest of instances are not used to. Does anybody knows what is wrong and how to workaround this (most likely)bug ? I would like to avoid creating one masking MC consisting of e.g. 100 layers - with teened growing sqare on each layer but in different position. Wiser is just to create one MC consisting of many instances of another single MC.Second example describing issue.Mask layer contains shape tween which consist of 3 keyframes.Masked layer contains single keyframe at first frame with one MC. This MCrestarts when middle keyframe in the mask is played. It seems that masked MC (on different layer obviously) is recreated when playhead meets keyframe in mask layer in tweened shape. In the same moment our MC stopped beeing visible for AS3 under given name as well.It seems that if mask layer contains more complex animation then basic shape move/scale then masking stops working properly. Is it bug in Flash palaer or am I doing mistake?

The ad on the bottom right of the screen (the one with lightning flashing) has an invisible button in its Flash file (CS5) linking to [URL]. This file is imported as SWF in Dreamweaver CS5.
The hyperlink works in Firefox, but not in Safari. Maybe it is just my computer.
