I literally saved the file as a swf etc and when I viewed it, there were massive random red shapes all over the dynamic areas completely ruining it.how these were formed as I changed nothing in the movie.
View 2 RepliesI use AS3's drawing api to draw filled shapes, but when they overlap, instead of filling the overlapped area, it becomes clear again, with no fill.
My question is, how can i get rid of this behavior, i need to just fill everything, is there a way to somehow "flatten" the shapes?
Im designing an 'L-System' (Lindenmayer System) in flash which generates random shapes using lines working around rewrite rules. I've got so far and my program seems to be outputting the correct rewrite rules but I just can't seem to get it to draw according. I'll post my code below

I need to cut a predefined size bitmap in to random shapes(to use later for a puzzle) but i simply out of ideas.
View 1 RepliesI know it's for sure a complex task, but does anybody out there know a package or a set of algorithms to extract shapes out of set of overlapping lines? I am looking for something in as3 that would resemble adobe illustrator's pathfinder function (most specifically, intersection). SWF here: [URL]. I know it will need some crazy geometric calculation?

View 5 RepliesI place a group of movie clips with random types (different shapes on a square) in a grid formation The code for placing the movie clips is this (this is in two for loops):
[Code]...
this goes up a single column in the grid and should remove the tiles from the stage depending on each type and it does this (sort of) until it tries to remove more than one of the same type. So if it finds and removes an lShapes it doesn't error until it tries to remove another lShapes and then it gives this error in the output: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. So I am assuming that this means it thinks all lShapes have been removed and thinks I'm trying to remove something that doesn't exist but there are other lShapes on the stage. I am at a loss as to what to do about this.
I have a question about shapes (i mean the flash.display.Shape class). Is it possible to import Shapes directly from the library as Shapes and not as Sprites/MovieClips? Shapes are supposed to be faster than MovieClips/Sprites, right? So why is it only possible to import MCs/Sprites from the library? I understand that generally shapes could be created solely by actionscript, but in my case the shape comprises of many points and is curved - so it's quite infeasible.
Is there maybe some sort of plugin to generate code that would draw the desired shape from a drawn shape in CS4? And a last one: Are there any benchmarks out there for performance comparison between sprites/mcs/shapes? How much performance do i loose by using a sprite instead of a shape?
yesterday by accident I think I pressed a combo like ALT+SHIFT+SPACEBAR, or something like that.. and all of a sudden in my actionscript editor some formatting characters appeared, like at the end of every line for every tab in the code for every space it's really annoying, I tried to restore the original settings, but nothing changed.

View 1 RepliesI have a flash website template, Fla File as well as all the source files etc, I have some questions if anyone would be kind enough to help. I am new to Fla files so not sure what to do.
There is some text I managed to edit ok, but others I could not, it appears as if they started as text and have been broken apart and made into a shape? when i click you can only highlight each letter, but not change them. There are two of these, one flies in from left, the other from right.
Flash has some serious problems with jagged edges on curved shapes. When adjusting a curve on a shape, flash shows that it is curved and then on releasing the mouse it turns into a sharp edge
View 1 RepliesSo Ive been working with Flash Pro CS5 and it seems I cant get the converting right with image formats into shape symbols. A couple days ago I did convert it correctly but now I cant remember how exactly I did it lol.
What Im trying to do is convert an image into a shape symbol then into a .gls format. When I import the working shape symbol in my SoThink Flash it would show up in the scene but now I cant recreate a working one as it would show up as a blank image.
Ive watched and read through some tutorials but Im confused on which order I should do the steps into converting an image into a symbol.
Btw.. if theres an easier way to convert an image into a .gls format I like to hear it as well
I had something wrong in Flash Pro CS5, all vector shapes and text fields are too sharp and output is very good and smooth ( Normal ) !

View 1 RepliesHow do I unregister flash6.ocx when the file does not exist on my computer? I just installed XP sp3 a couple days ago. installed the latest version of flash player. later ran a registry checker and it keeps coming up with an invalid inprocess server and lists flash6.ocx. to the best of my knowledge ( unless it somehow came on the XP install cd ) there has never been a flash6.ocx on my system and I couldn't have deleted it if it was never there. where can I get a copy of this file so that I can unregister it?

Is it possible to unload, or remove a code in an action layer after it has been loaded and run in a timeline.
What I'm trying to accomplish is twofold, one, I'm trying to reload a code on a particular frame like it is on frame one, without playing the entire swf from frame one, and two I would like to possibly be able to change a mouse event on the same button from one thing to another along a timeline, which would require the initial function be removed so it does not conflict/error with the other event.
I have selected the image I want (from a white backgound) but when I bring it into Flash is has its "bounding box" in white although I used the import to stage option to bring in just the selected image (I thought). I am sure this is a simple fix, but I am a beginner Flash person...
View 2 RepliesDoes anyone know the actionscript 3.0 parameters in removing the child within a movieclip? This is my scenario:
1. I have two (2) languages which play on the main timeline. Each languages are movieclips.
2. I have a movieclip which has buttons. These buttons are added dynamically using "stage.addChild(main_menu)"
3. I have a go back button together with the main timeline. How can remove a child on a timeline? For example when I choose the language A: it will play through by a movieclip and the buttons will be added dynamically [the dynamically added buttons are inside this movieclip; also the AS3 is inside that movieclip]. I wanted to remove the added child when the go back button is pressed and return to certain frame on the main timeline. The go back button is not included in the said movieclip--it is within the same timeline of languages and I wanted the script to be on the main timeline.

Above is the webstie in question. When you hit the Benefit button for example it takes you to a url /benefits.html/.
When I originally created the flash project I accidentally wrote in the url with the finishing slash. Now that I have gone back and removed the slash from my project, saved and uploaded .swf to my web, the project still redirects to benefits.html/

View 14 RepliesI have a .fla that contains five movieclips, and have a couple of questions regarding removing movieclips and swf size.If all the movieclips are displayed, my resulting swf is about 50k.If, in frame 1, I code conditionals that decide which of the movieclips will be displayed, will the resulting swf size become smaller if some of the clips aren't displayed?If so, what is the correct way to totally remove a movieclip from memory? Say I have a main movieclip that contains 5 other mcs, and the as code is within the main movieclip.If not, is there a way to make the swf size smaller if less than all clips are displayed (using conditionals).
