On the opening of the map where it shows a transparent red spreading would you create the growing red transparent area over the map in the Pacific with transparent shape tween. Also any tutorials on doing this.

I have this function:
public static function cloneDpObj(target:DisplayObject):Bitmap
{
var duplicate:Bitmap;
[code]....
to clone target displayObject (MovieClip or Sprite) and return Bitmap Object.
It can get bitmap from the target object, but it seem don't get all the area of the image.
By give the width and height of target object, but the target object in design was applied by Glow Effect, so my question can we get the all view of bitmapdata from a displayobject?

View 2 RepliesI am importing some graphics on the fly, and want to be ableto drag them around the stage, which all works great. My issue isthat if I add a large element, like a border around the edge of thestage, this covers up all the other items so that clicking on themis not possible. I can see them, but when I click, the large itemgets the event, even though visually, it is transparent. There arethings I could do if I was doing all the development of thegraphics in the IDE, but these items load at runtime, so it has towork with bitmap
View 1 Repliesis there a way to make a Text Area transparent?, I'm using this code:
_level0.taDescription.depthChild0._alpha = 0;
and works, but then, I'm loading that SWF in another SWF and I loose the alpha property?
So I have a BitmapData object that's 400x400, and is mostly transparent with a small area (up to 50x50) of color somewhere inside. That's drawn to a bitmap, and now I somehow need to generate a Sprite that is only the dimensions of the small colored area, and sits in the same place on the screen.The size and position of the colored area is variable, and the operation to create the new Sprite must be near-instantaneous, so no lengthy pixel comparison exercises.
View 2 Repliesi am loading a background bitmap into a sprite. after that i make this sprite draggable. now i would like to have a copy of this sprite where just the area with the non-transparent parts of the bitmap react to the click.
i know that i can determine if a pixel is transparent with the getPixel32() method, but it seems to be overkill to anylyze every pixel... or is it not?
I want to put a transparent area on my stage. When the mouse enters that area I want to be notified (so that I can do stuff).I expect to use some code like"addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseInRemote);" - but the qustion is "What do I add to my stage?"
View 8 RepliesI have a .jpg graphic in a movieclip on layer two (1024/768). This is used as a background.I have a .jpg scrolling movieclip on layer one. It is a very wide graphic used for displaying a panorama.I would like to be able to create, dynamically using actionscript, a transparent area on the layer two movieclip (create a window) to view the underlying movieclip.I believe this is possible using the Rectangle class in the flash.geom.rectangle but I can't figure out how to attach it to the layer two movieclip or how to make it transparent so shows the underlying scrolling graphic.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to make a button symbol with a transparent hit area - surounded but a dynamically drawn border. Heres what I have. I have a simple AS script that uses goTo and lineTo (plus a randomizer to make sure the buttons are skewed and differnt everytime) to create a "sketchy box" as my button. My script resides in a movie clip withing the "over" state of a button symbol. Now the active hit area is ONLY the line elements. Question : How in the world, using only actionscript an I make a second, transparent area inside of the sketchy lines to make the whole button symble clickable?
View 5 RepliesI imported a video into flash and have a transparent photoshop layer to create an iPod skin. The video works fine, but I cannot get the "stage" to be transparent so that you do not see the flash background color behind the iPod skin.
I've read in the forums and have followed the instructions here from Adobe. If you look at my code, I have

I have objects that the user can click&drag. They're PNGs, mainly rectangular, no problem till here.But I then had to put an L-shaped object (a PNG with a lot of transparency), so i've made a movieclip with an shape with the same L shape than the png, and use it as its hitArea:
shape.visible= false;
shape.mouseEnabled= false;
obj.addChild(shape);
obj.hitArea= shape;
This works PERFECT, the mouse events respond as expected, and I can click on objects that are below/above the transparent area of the png/object.All objects are inside a Sprite called playgroundLayer1. The issue comes when I take the L-shaped object and put it on another Sprite (playgroundLayer2), that is above the playgroundLayer1.I this case, I can click&drag on the L, but no object below the transparent area of the L receives mouse events.
Is there a way to make the transparent area from an png image not to register when I add with a mouse event to that image? What is happening is the rectangle around the symbol is effected by the mouse event.
View 2 RepliesI would like to make a flash movie with a picture, where when the user holds down the mouse button, part of another picture will emerge in that general area (like a magnifying glass looking into another dimension).
Technically, my idea was to make a flash file with two images, and then code the mouse to be able to make the top picture transparent in a circle-like area around the cursor, while the mouse button is down.
But how to do that? I am using Flash CS4, but I don't really care if the solution is in AS2, or AS3, as long as it works
I have imported a few animated GIF's in flash. Each has a whole lot of frames. I am running the FPS at 35, and it obviously means that the GIF frames will speed up/slow down depending on how fast the FPS is. That is great, but is there a nice little trick to spread the frames out, without having to edit the MC and highlight a bunch of frames, and spread them out? I also attached a screenshot of me highlighting all the frames, preparing to move them over by one to spread out the frames. The first few frames are spread out already as you can see
View 2 RepliesI have a black stage, and I use the following code to add images to the stage at random positions container.x = stage.stageWidth / 5 + Math.floor(Math.random() * (stage.stageWidth / 2)); container.y = stage.stageHeight / 5 + Math.floor(Math.random() * (stage.stageHeight / 3)); My maths is a bit terrible, so when I try moving the images about, I tend to just play with the numbers, not knowing what they are for. At the moment, the images all get placed roughly in the middle of my stage, which is basically what I want. However, If possible, I dont want the images so close to each other. At the moment, some images end up sitting on top of other images etc. Is there anything I can do to the code above to spread the images out a bit?
View 1 RepliesI need to make a banner in which a image appears. After some time it explodes in many many words. Because i don't know how to make the transition from the chunks of image into words so that it would look ok, i reduced it to the image disappearing and the world under it just tween to locations around the stage. My question is what do you suggest to do best to spread the objects all over the stage, except from tweening manually every one of them, regardles it's a timeline or a code tween.
View 5 RepliesI'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 am trying to export these gifs with transparency and I am still getting the background with transparency selected in publish settings. Does anyone know a way to remove the background and just have a transparent gif?
View 20 RepliesI have attached a simple test fla.I am trying to centralize my code in all my movies using dot notation instead of spreading my code all over the place. It never works, I must be doing something wrong.The test .fla has a movieclip with a timeline animation. I used the linkage identifier to name it 'reload' AND named the instance 'reload'.
_root.reload.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
The pointer doesnt even change to a hand.
I've read a Flash tutorial which states in order for your published swf. to have no background you have to:
File - Publish Settings - HTML tab - Windows Mode: Transparent Windowless - Publish
I have then exported the file as a swf. and mounted it in a HTML container expecting the Flash movie to have no background.This did not happen, there was a plain white background in the container instead.
I have a web site project created in Dreamweaver. On the home page I need a swf file that is transparent and will animate over the dreamweaver backgound.

View 1 Repliesthere is only one or two threads that come up post 2006 regarding this.I have a flash banner that I am using for a website, and I'd like the stage and background to be transparent so it shows the background (webpage background) gradient.
I know about the WMODE transparency, however, I'm not actually using an HTML file, rather and going to embed this SWF at the top of a wordpress site in the header, so I don't think that the WMODE really matters anyway.I can't believe that even in 2010 (ok almost 2011!) that Flash doesn't support transparency yet, but I've been proven wrong beforeThis is a super simple SWF.....not even any real navigation in it.
transparent gradient not importing as designed. I created a button in Illustrator and exported as SWF. When I imported into Flash, it is displaying improperly (flawed). What is the full-proof solution for this?
Really don't want to have to go the bitmap route or re-create directly in Flash.
I have a flash file with a solid colour layer over a part of my visual that I have sent to 60% opacity using the alpha colour effect. All looks great in flash, but when I publish the file as a swf - the colour block is solid. I'm assuming I'm using the wrong export options, but don't really know the difference between them all. I'm publishing under flash lite 4 as I was told I needed to use this to make my movie compatible over mobile devices as well and normal web browers.
