I am trying to tile a small mc instead of a bmp image and I was wondering if anyone knows what aspects of Lee's tutorial need to be changed to accomedate that?
[Code]...
I tried a couple of things and was not able to get the mc loaded onto the stage.
I'm making a game where you place tiles on a grid. When placing a tile, I need to check the existance of another tile to the left, right, or above and below, otherwise the tile should not be placed.. Here is a function I thought would work, that accepts one variable (the position of the tile just as it is about to be placed) :-
private function checkSurroundingTiles(gridPosition:uint) { var t1 = gridPosition - 12; var t2 = gridPosition - 1; var t3 = gridPosition + 1; var t4 = gridPosition + 12; for(i = 0; i < gridRefArray.length; i++) { var checkTile = gridRefArray[i]; if(checkTile == t1) { return true;

If possible I would like to tile an image or MovieClip along a line using the standard moveTo() and lineTo() methods, The lines are directional so need to show something similar to >>>>>>>>>>>>>. The lines can be at any angle, so using drawRect() with beginBitmapFill() isn't an option. Also if possible I would like to have the lines animated. Is this possible or will it require a custom class?
View 1 RepliesI want to create a tile map and my fla is 600 x 400. Now I create 7x7 Sprites (Size 40x40) and I want them to be in the middle of the scene with text around (not in the map!). One way is do update the sprite containers, but this isn't "smoothly", I wanna scroll the content, when a new raw appears.
View 0 RepliesIs there any way to animate from a tile based .png image file? I have multiple images in 1 png file having slight changes in each image, which if cropped and put into layers one over the other, will give the feel of animation or a character moving or walking etc.I want to know can we do that kind of animation in flash as we do it in C++ or Java and how can we do it.

View 2 RepliesI am using a horizontal tilelist in flex to display an image gallery with only one item in horiz. tilelist being shown at a time. I have next and previous buttons on both sides. The problem is I want to display a particular item/image in that list when user clicks on a thumb image from another thumbimages tilelist at bottom. I used someTilelist.selectedIndex property but it just selects that particular index in list, it does not show that particular item/image. I want the list to show that particular image, not just select it. Please take note that the horiz. tilelist shows only one image at time.

When i load images with a transparent background it gives the image a white background is there any way to get the image to be transparent? [coded]...
Okay, since my stage doesn't take up the whole window when viewing it on the Internet, is there a way to tile a picture in the background? So no matter how big someone's screen is, in the background they will see a tiled picture.
View 4 RepliesHere is an odd question, can I tile a graphic symbol in my library along a path or apply it as a stroke somehow? In Illustrator you can select an item, go to the brushes palette, select new brush, new brush pattern. Is the same functionality available in flash (even programmatically)?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to load a bunch of external swfs into a tile list. Once the swfs have been loaded I'm adding them to a dataprovider which I then sort and add to the tilelist. Like so:
dp.addItem({label:e.currentTarget.content.getLabel(), path:e.currentTarget.content.getPath(), source:e.currentTarget.content, cost:e.currentTarget.content.getCost(), category:e.currentTarget.content.getCategory()});
It works fine except that the way I'm doing it I have to add a bunch of functions to each swf to know which one is loaded and pass the correct info to the dataprovider.Is there another way to tell which swf has been loaded? Something like this.URLRequest. If I could tell something about it I could compare that to my original xml and find out all the other information I need for my dataprovider.
Is it possible to publish my .fla file to .exe without the File menu and the default Flash icon and Flash tile appearing.
View 1 RepliesI'm creating flash site which will have different backgrounds for each page. I'll load the individual pages with "MovieClipLoader." My understanding about MovieClipLoaders is that, it doesn't matter the background of your mc, the page to which you are loading will maintain it's background.
View 3 RepliesIm building a website fully with flash and there is the typical navigation bar to get to the other parts of the site..
each part of the site has a different background photo and I would like to fade out/In each background of the site...
if it would be linear on the time line its obviously just a matter of motion tweens and alpha values.. .but how to do it if one wants to jump say from section 6 to 1 and have background 6 blend with background 1 ?
I guess there is a way to create an if statement in ActionScript ?
If there is anyone out there, and im sure there are, who has any good methods for creating clean looking seamless pattern looking backgrounds for the web?!
View 1 RepliesI have been trying to find a way to color the backgrounds of different words in a single textfield with different colors.
For an example, lets imagine the whole text is a story which has nouns and verbs...etc Now I want to show the full text which is my story and highlight the background of nouns in blue, verbs in red.
Then I have dedicated toggle buttons for each types. The use of those buttons is removing or showing those backgrounds. For an example and when user clicks on noun button it will remove or show the background of all the nouns. Same for the button for verbs.
Then you may ask why I can't achieve this by using separate textfield for each word in the story and line them like a paragraph. The problem is user should be able to edit those text. So those are INPUT typed textfields. So all the words should move within the boundaries of paragraph when user keep changing one word. see the second attachment and you may see that I have changed the first word by typing "abcde", so as I type all other words should move like you type inside a textfield. So thats why I think if we can achieve it using single textfield rearranging words as user types is taken care of the textfiled so we don't need to place all the words manually.
When I was trying to think of a way to do it, I found that background is only a property of TextField, but not TextFormat. If it was a property of textformat then I could have set different formats for different words in same textfield. So that option is out.
Also I thought of using CSS with htmlText. But unfortunately text-background is not supported by actionscript stylesheet class.
I'm building a game that is relatively heavy. I load the essential assets before rendering the game, such as sounds, classes, movieclips and bitmaps. Now my question is... There are some none essential assets that I want to load in the background and not in the main load to speed things up for the user. But, apart from consuming the user's bandwidth...I have the feeling the animations slow down if they are running while the assets are loading in the background.
View 2 RepliesI've successfully created a class which extends List to create a List with different coloured backgrounds depending on a colour property of the ArrayCollection used as a dataProvider. Technique is described here:

I'm now trying to do the same thing in a ComboBox. I know it's possible with either a classFactory or extending the ComboBox but I really can't work out how - there is so little information on things like the classFactory around.
I've been tasked by a client to make a scaling flashsite that changes background through the various pages. In addition some of the other objects need to scale to page as well.
[URL]
This is the page in its current form. The background and the buttons on that layer scale with the size of the browser window. But if you click "who is the Rabblerouser" the box with text opens and I'd rather that not scale or atleast scale to a smaller size. I realize its scaling because its on the movie that the action script is set to scale... so I don't know what the best practice is here. All of the example sites with scaling pages had one background
I still need to code a PHP mailer and put in a video when the client supplies it.

i have seen floating flash movies and also flash movies with transparent backs to them

View 1 RepliesI'm making a flash banner for a client, it has a button to switch between backgrounds, however, how do I say something like
[Code]...
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)
As part of a much, much larger project, a client has asked me to take an existing flash banner, change the graphic, text, and link to make 4 more that are almost identical. Though I haven't worked extensively with Flash, I am familiar with it and thought this should be fairly easy, right? (Unfortunately, easy isn't exactly the word I'd use.)
I'm trying to take an existing fla, and change just the graphic, text, and button link to make a nearly identical banner. However, when I import a new image to replace the old image, the button disappears. I've tried overwriting the current image as well, and while I have a new image to show on the banner, and the text still works just fine, AND I have the outline of the box that should house the button (it even shows in the library),
Additionally, I will need to change the link, and since I'm having this much problem with a button, maybe you could understand how that works as well, because I can't even change it on the original.
What i want is: A slider that can be pulled by the user across an image to reveal a second one underneath. The same as this example, only I want a vertical scroll button not a horizontal. [URL]
