Professional :: Text Cut Off If Filters Are Used?
Jul 25, 2008
I've run into a bug where text (static or dynamic) is cut off when filters are applied. For example, I can create a static text object on the stage with a common font (Arial) and put some text into it, and it displays just fine. I'm putting a tween on it to gently fade it in from invisible (alpha=0%) to full (alpha=100%) and back to invisible. At this point, the text looks just fine. The trouble starts when I add a filter, like drop shadow for example. Once the filter is applied, the last character is cut off. For example, if the last word ends with an 'e', the 'e' character is lopped off vertically so only the left two thirds of the 'e' displays and the rightmost remaining third is not visible. I've tried quite a bit of adjusting things to fix this... adding multiple extra spaces at the end, increasing the size of the text box, several different fonts... nothing works except taking the filter back off. This is on the Mac version of Flash, by the way.

I tried to apply a filter to a video on mobile phones and had a strange effect:
When I apply the filter to a 24 FPS source video the resulting frame-rate after applying the filter drops to about 7 FPS. But if I use a 8 FPS source video the frame-rate is even lower at about 3-4 FPS. I expected an higher, or at least equal resulting framer-rate with the 8 FPS source video. What's the reason for this behavior?
I use the Flash Player 10.1 for Android 2.2 and the Google Nexus One.

i used to create buttons, and use the over state, hit state and used to use the filters that comes up.
Now all of a sudden, I am not able to get those filter settings, to apply for mouse over state, hit state and others in the properties panel.

I'm trying to lighten the load on the users' machine as much as possible. Which requires less resources: using Flash filters for Drop Shadow/Glow or creating vector shapes for the shadow/glow with the Modify > Shape > Soften Fill Edges command?

I have a question about layer effects and filters - firstly are there any way to do layer effects in flash (like in photoshop "stroke" "outter glow" etc...) also is there any sort of plug ins to do special effects - perhaps with particles, or with pretty effects that I can buy.

I've tried searching but have not succeded in finding an answer, I just hope i'm not asking something that has already been answered.ANyway , here I go.For some reason the filter option is greyed out in the motion editor ans i don't understand why, and I was hoping someone would be kind enough to enlighten me on the matter?Could it have to to with the fact that i'm apply ing the motion tween to a graphic symbol with an imbedded animation ? Should i change it to a movie clip?

Question 1: How do I add a filter to a movieclip from actionscript,More specificly, the "adjust color" filter, and I want to decrease brightness, saturation,hue, and contrast... by actionscript...If you dont know what I mean, use the circle tool to create a circle, convert to movie clip, click the "filter" tab, then click + and add a adjust color filter, you'll see what I mean...Question 2: I need to output text to 'text' documents, no I cannot use shared objects for this, as it is a program for a client, and it isn't safe enough for me.
Code:
var archive:Array = [];
archive[7] = "Hello I am the 8th archive";

When I create a TLF text area that is editable at runtime (which means that it can get a user input at runtime) I set the text direction to the 'right-to-left' definition in both the 'container and flow' and the 'paragraph' sections and set the language for Arabic or Hebrew at the 'locale' setting. I also set the text alignment to the 'align to start' mode. Now at runtime there's a stange thing. When I try to click with the mouse cursor on the editable TLF text-box, it's not displaying the text icon cursor and don't allow me to insert text inside.
But when I move my mouse cursor over the right side of the editable TLF text box, it change his appearance to the familiar text cursor which indicate that if you click here you will be able to insert text input inside. So my problem is how can I make it that only when I will hover over the TLF text box itself, the mouse cursor will be changed to text cursor icon and when I will hover beside its right side, it will remain at the normal cursor mode.

There is the following bug in the gallery:Once you open up the gallery you see a container with all small thumbnails.If you start mouse over the main container you can see the following happen:
- shadow filter change
- quality of the thumbs change
There is a rotationY and rotationX on the main container. As soon as i remove that there is no bug and the shadow and quality of images is perfect.So what does flash do to children and their filters inside a container when using transform propertys before a MouseEvent happen to that maincontainer.You should use F5 a few times before you excaly can see it.

Does anyone know a way to generate a print job that doesn't lose the movie clip filters (drop shadow, glow, etc.)
It seems to drop them regardless of whether printAsBitmap is true or false.

I'm making a picture gallery. I have a thumbnail container, which contains a mask and a dynamically generated mc called "thumbnail_mc". Thumbnail_mc contains all the sprites of the thumbnails.When I click on a thumbnail, the thumbnail get's a glow filter added to it. Now, I want to remove all filters on all the other sprites before I apply that filter to the Sprite.
This is what I'm trying to do:
Code:
thumbnail_mc.children.filters = [];
How do I do that?

Im using this filter to blur a movieclip on a click event.
var filter:BlurFilter=new BlurFilter(4,4,BitmapFilterQuality.HIGH);
var filters_array:Array=new Array();
filters_array.push(filter);
mainCradle.filters = filters_array;
This runs fine when I go to control -> test But when published it doesn't apply the filter well it does but you caunt see it on screen.I created a dynamic text box and sent mainCradle.filters to it and it would appear that a filter is attached. Its just not using it.

Basically, the effect I'm going for is, you click on a button that calls an mc to the stage and blurs everything below it. When you click another button (that was also called), that mc (and button) is removed, as well as the blur filter.This is the code I have. (Also, just ignore my stupid function names. I pretty much just name them after the next word I hear in the song I'm listening to :)
Code:
hint.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,manipulation);
function manipulation(event:MouseEvent){
this.addChild(newHint);[code].........
and I don't have any compiler errors, the stuff just simply won't unblur.

I am starting to learn how to style components in Flash/AS3.
One of the things I unable to figure out is whether or not I can apply a filter/effect on the label of a component rather than on its skin.For example I want to have a button with a drop shadow applied on the text.

I'm wondering if there is some library (or maybe tutorial?) which can produce Instagram-like color tweaks for Bitmap/BitmapData objects in AS3. Color Matrix/ColorMatrixFilter will not be probably able to achieve such as results or yes?

I figured out why my external, embedded player wouldn't link back to my site: I was using _self rather than _blank, which I'm sure many of you knew.
However, my next stumbling block is that any subsequent link now needs to be authorized if you are using a browser with a pop-up blocker (IE7, Firefox, etc.). What I've noticed is that YouTube has somehow completely bypassed this, and I need to figure out how.
First, check out this site for an example of my player and YouTube's player on the same page: [URL]
Note in the lower-right the YouTube clip. Click that first. Notice how the pop-up blocker doesn't ask for permission? Then, beneath that is my "Comic Wonder" player. If you click on any links, it'll work, but only if you allow your pop-up blocker to allow it.
how YouTube has bypassed that?

I've been working on an old flash project from a few years back and ran into a little trouble with filters.My program requires the ability to zoom in to any zoom level, which works perfectly fine. And now I've made it so the selected object would glow with the use of Flash's Glow Filter.The problem which has arisen, however is that I get a warning message: "Warning: Filter will not render. The DisplayObject's filtered dimensions (4154, 4154) are too large to be drawn."Now obviously I understand why this would occur, however I'm wondering if there is a way around it. My first guess was setting up a screen size mask, obviously way lower than the max resolution hoping that cull the movie clip to the size of the screen, but that was unsuccessful.
Is there a way to dynamically clip objects and if so would that work? As surely if I could clip the object in run time to the bounds of the screen, the resolution would never exceed that of the screen. If not, any other ideas as to how I can make a large object glow?URL...Also there's dl.dropbox.com/u/956557/Glow/GlowTest.fla if you want to take a gander at the source for that.

i just ran into something i've never thought about.I want create a bitmap from a movieclip. Nothing special by now,but when this movieclip has some filters added, then they will be ignored, and thats what i dont want.I tried to copy the movieclip into another movieclip and then make a bitmap from its parent, but no luck there either (or i made something wrong), still no filters visible.

i have a series of MCs with glow filters applied to them that grow in size when moused over. however when they are "moused over"/as the mouse crosses the "borders" of the shapes to gain focus the "growing" animation is not smooth, it like jerks around a bit as the mouse crosses the borders before the animation actually happens. i set all of the MC's to mouseChildren=false so i know it has something to do with the effect. it seems that happens with most of the effects i've tried.
does anyone know how to make the mouse NOT interact with the effect/filter?
