I am making a flash video game. You will have control of a spaceship that is going to go to space. I made a 550x30,000 JPG file in photoshop to use in flash as the background for the game. 30,000 pixels is about what I need to make a good scale of the earths atmosphere because earths atmosphere is about 36,000 feet high and I was goign to use a scale of 1 pixel = 1 foot.
When I import the jpg to flash and test the movie instead of my background all I see a a plain red box in the movie window. It fills the whole stage. This led me to think that there could be a pixel limitation. If so what are the limitatoions and how can I get around them?
I have buttons that load SWF files. when i test the SWF they have a solid background. However, if i use a button to open the swf they have transparent/no background, yet you can still see the contents of the swf.
How do i get the SWF to have a solid background when opened by buttons?
i want to collapse a complex scene with all different layers and different transparency into a single layer (or as few as possible) to optimize the flash file for online (were experince proformance issues). I have tried the combine and manually copying pasting into one layer but it cuts the fill below and replace with transparent fill. I want to have a end file that is 100% solid.
I've trying to make blocks solid so my character can walk across the blocks and not go straight through it ive looked around for around 12-13 hrs at the moment and im still stuck.
I'm trying to simply draw a solid shape consisting of various other shapes, however, when I overlap two shapes, the overlapped area becomes transparent again. For instance:
Code: var myShape:Shape = new Shape(); myShape.graphics.beginFill(0x000000); myShape.graphics.drawCircle(10, 10, 25); myShape.graphics.drawCircle(20, 10, 25); myShape.graphics.endFill(); this.addChild(myShape);
The above code is AS3, but I believe the same thing happens for AS2 as well. The overlapping area between the two circles is not clack.
I am currently creating a game in which the character is stationary in the middle and the world moves in relation to the character. When the character is not moving and not touching anything, I need the world to shift upward to meet the character and stop on collision detection. The problem is I have no idea how to conceptually make this work.
making assets "fall up" and stop when colliding with an object (basically reverse gravity).
I'm building a map editor for a project and need to draw a hexagon and fill it with a solid color. I have the shape correct but for the life of me can't figure out how to fill it. I suspect it may be due to whether the thing is a Shape, Sprite or UIComponent. Here is what I have for the polygon itself:
import com.Polygon; import mx.core.UIComponent; public class greenFillOne extends UIComponent {
Fairly new to ActionScript 3. I am creating a series of solid rectangles which will be acting as butttons for my site, a new rectangle is created by looping through an XML List, 1 rectangle for each title in my List. They will be displayed 1 above another down the left hand side of my screen.
What I want to do, if possible, is create a vanishing point on the right hand side of my screen which the rectangles will use to alter their perspectives.Obviously the rectangles with a far different Y position to the vanishing points, will display with a greater perspective.
how to make a flash background go from solid to transparent? I know how to make it transparent all of the time, but I want the SWF to play, the background is there, and when it's done I need it to fade away...
I'm trying to duplicate this type of mouse trail. I can't tell if it's deforming a movie clip or drawing separate objects on the stage. I can duplicate it at slow speeds, but at a fast speeds I have no idea how they're doing it.
The MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE is way to slow on the update to draw exactly where the mouse is going so I tried using curveTo to create a curve but unfortunately you still hit a point where you get a sharp angle.
I have series of Bezier curves that I want to revolve about an axis to form a solid model in Papervision3D.How would I do this? Has someone created a class for Papervision that can revolve a curve to form a solid?
I'm using Arial for my content font. I'm trying to set it up so that there's pretty solid edging.
Code: var antiAliasEntry_1:Array = new Array({fontSize:12.0, insideCutoff:0.61, outsideCutoff:-3.43}); var arialTable:Array = new Array(antiAliasEntry_1); TextRenderer.setAdvancedAntialiasingTable("Arial", "none", "light", arialTable);
I think it's that insideCuttOff needs to be smaller, and outsideCutOff needs to be further in the negative direction. But when I do that, there's no much of an effect. Here's what my text looks like now:
I am just starting with 3d flash concepts and I was checking this tutorial:[URL]I wonder if there is a tutorial showing the same movement but with a solid cube. I fact, what I want to achieve is this effect:[URL]
For example, I have a transparent png file, the shape is a car.In the png file, I only draw the white border shape.Outside and inside the border are all transparent.
I want to use actionscript3 code to show the car object with different color, it means only fill color inside the border, and for the outside of the border, keep transparent.How to do that?
So far, the simplest workaround is to prepare many images with PhotoShop, but it's not good enough for me. When I have many shapes and use many colors, I've to prepare many many images.Add more details:(Because I'm using white border, you may not see the basic png file if your background of browser is white)
Is there way to use bitmap fills instead of solid colors for the Coloring Book by Zelwyn?I want to color shapes with bitmap fills. If the user changes his mind, then he could recolor the shape with a new bitmap.It would be the exact same as the coloring book, except using image bitmap fills.
I'm having an issue with solid backgrounds showing up behing transparent PNGs in Flash. I know this isn't a lot to go on, but I have no idea what is going on here, My client sent me the attached image.. This is what they are seeing (the green box behind the top of the vehicle). I am not seeing this. Apparently this box, and other similar boxes show up during image transitions.
I am using Tweens to fade between different models and colors of the vehicle. I was originally using Caurina/Tweener, and experienced similar issues myself, but since switched to using the built in tween class, and am not seeing any problems anymore, but apparently my client is.You should be able to see the attached image. You can also view the demo link, to see if you see any issues yourself with the PNGs fading in and out....(you'll have to sit through the intro, then click EXPAND on the final frame)
Is there anyone that can write a really basic physics engine including 1 ball and 1 solid object?
So it should be 1 ball and then 1 solid object like a box. The box should be completely solid, the ball shouldn't be able to go through the box, it should just stop when hitting it at any angle.
I have several movie clips of the main character (one for each primary and secondary direction), each of which contains 7 or so layers, one for each body part, and each layer then has about 6 keyframes, each keyframe containing a different graphic of the body part.All I want to do is create a shadow of the character. Originally, I just duplicated the main character movie clip, changed the _yscale, _rotation, _alpha and applied a color via setRGB(). It sort of worked, but because I was applying the setRGB() to the collective group of graphics having multiple colors, the variances showed up in the shadow, so you could make out the character's features.
I'm wanting to create a moving object that will be exported into a tv commercial. Object has already been created in Adobe Illustrator, and now will be dropped into flash for adding movement. The destination commercial will be created in Sony Vegas, with the settings of (Australian) PAL television (25 fps, 576x720 pixels, lower field first).Thus keeping it simple, I want to set Adobe flash with the same output format, meaning that the canvas will have to be 576x720 pixels at 25 fps. So far this seems to have worked okay.Now I'm wanting to get rid of the canvas colour, just like I have here in this photoshop screen shot.
Judging by the colour palette in Flash Professional, it looks like it can't be done. I've checked "transparent palette" through yahoo and google, and had no results. The adobe documentation only details how to remove a background in Photoshop.
I have created drawings in Adobe Flash and saved them as .fla files. However, when I try to save the files as JPEGs beyond a certain resolution (such as 4000x4000 pixels), the image gets altered. Essentially, it get's cropped, but some background is left in the remaining pixels. Original image (.fla) Jpeg image (with the saving problem):
I'm a bit confused with the purpose of these programs. For example if I want to create a game or utility app that runs on air. Can I design it in Flash Professional and later open in Builder for more heavy coding? Or is Catalyst supposed to be used as the design program?
I used to think that you design stuff in Flash Professional and then open the project up in Builder to do more deep coding.
i am trying to install a copy of Flash macromeadia 2004 mx profesional. the software installs fine when i go to open it it apears in the dock and nothing happens. right clicking on the icon in the dock the program says it's not reasponding.
on the box on my flash it syas made for mac osx 10.2.6 and my mac is running mac osx 10.6.7
I downloaded the trial version so I could work on the final project for class but for some reason when I tried to save it my computer froze up. Is this because the save feature is turned off for the trial version or was it just my computer? If I can't save using the trial version than I wasted memory on my computer and a lot of my time downloading the trial version that isn't going to be very useful to me.
I recently purchased and installed Flash CS4 Professional on my home computer (HP Windows XP Media Center Edition). AS2 works as a Publish Setting, but AS3 does not function in any way.After my initial installation, I ran a CS4 update of all programs, including updating Flash CS4 to 10.0.2.I have uninstalled the software and re-installed it in the "simplified" mode. Updated to v10.0.2; no change in AS3 failure. I have run the Adobe Support Analyzer, and an error has been found in the installation log file (for both the initial installation and the re-installation). But use of the Package for Support button (repeatedly, over 4 days) fails to upload and fails to produce a "key", yielding this message: "The storage server is unavailable! Please try again later."Here is what I mean by ActionScript 3 failure:With any script in the Actions-Frame panel, clicking Check Syntax produces this message: "This script contains errors. The errors encountered are listed in the Compiler Errors Panel." The Compiler Errors Panel is always blank. When I am working in AS2, an intentional script error immediately is identified correctly in the Compiler Errors Panel.With any script in the Actions-Frame panel, clicking Auto Format produces this message: "This script contains syntax errors, so it cannot be Auto Formatted. Fix the errors and try again."Any .swf produced with CTRL+Enter sits in its initial state and does not run or otherwise have interactivity..
fla files I have found the failure with include: AS3 examples from the Adobe Flash website; AS3 files I produced with Flash CS3 Professional on a previous employer's computer; a simple "stop();" in the Actions-Frame panel for the first frame of a movie clip.I have also made sure that my computer has updated versions of the Flash 10, 9, and 8 players. A .swf file (AS3, Player 9) I made with my employer's Flash CS3 software runs fine on my computer. But producing a new .swf from the same .fla file on my home computer with CS4 yields an inactive file.Adobe technical support is unable to deal with ActionScript problems and referred me to the community of Adobe expert users.
