Im trying to create a 'neon glow effect thru a combination of both BlendModes and glow filter Problem is, they seem to cancel each other out if applied together...not having any luch doing this dynamically.
View 1 RepliesTo achieve a zoom effect in our 2D flash game, we make the background of the game much bigger than the visible stage. This becomes a problem when the background is complex or when we apply a grayscale filter to the background. Is there a better way to do zoom? Or, is there a way to apply the filter to only a specific area of a movieclip?
View 2 RepliesFlash Pro CS5 I have a plan view png made into a movieclip of a car which follows a motion guide changing direction as it travels. I select the MC in frame 1 and go to properties, filter section is currently empty and I select dropshadow from the filter choices, adjusting the angle and opacity. Looks good test movie and car runs without shadow after fr1. Methinks I need to apply it to the car in the last frame (no other keyframes between by the way), I select the car and then cannot see how to apply the filter that is now showing in the properties window. How does one apply an existing filter to a movieclip ?
Is this then what is needed to get the car to have the shadow cast north west throughout its journey ? Applying the filter to the MC at start and end of the tween ?
No idea why this really basic feature isn't working for me right now...
Why can I not apply a filter to a movie clip, only a button?? I'm in CS4, publish settings are set to Flash 8....
I have this simple class:

public class Letter extends Sprite {
private var glowFilter:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter();

I wanna apply a glow filter to a button. What I want to happen is that if for a media player the currentFrame = totalFrame i.e, if the seekBar reaches last frame, I want the next_btn to animate,...like Glow In and Glow Out.
I dont want a mouse_over / mouse_out event to handle the animation.
Possibly I think that I'll have to use a Enter_Frame event, but I cant think of a function to do so.
my glow filter is like this...
var myGlow:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0xFE4110, 4, 2, 2, 4,2, false, false);
I tried this using
Code:
[Code]....
worked, however this method (using extra sprite for a textfield) is just too dirty, let alone we want to apply filters to multiple textfields.. Anyone knows how to apply filter directly to TextField instance in AS3.0?
I am trying to erase one movieclip from another using the blendmode="erase" setting, but can only get it to work on the stage as the parent. This means it erases a hole through everything! The attachmovie also doesn't seem to work as I was expecting and I was hoping that when you drag the movieclip, the attached clip would move with it? If you check out the FLA [URL] you can see whats happening right now and what I want to achieve (diagrams provided in FLA).
View 1 RepliesIs there any way of applying a ColorMatrixFilter to one rectangular area of a DisplayObject, leaving the rest untouched? The DO is a container, and the user interacts with objects in it, so taking snapshots to change its appearance isn't an option.

View 2 RepliesPhotoshop and Fireworks both have some nice filters. When you put one bitmap over the other, the first bitmap can act as filter. For example, the white pixels of the top bitmap lighten the pixels of the bottom bitmap. Is there any way to apply this in as3? What I am trying to accomplish: I have a large single-color bitmapdata object. I want to overlay perlin noise and lighten/darken the single-color bitmap to give it some random/natural look.

I looked at the following example in the AS3 Reference: [URL] It is unclear to me looking at the package example how to apply this in standard ActionScript 3 without packages to a Movie Clip resident in my Library that gets called at RunTime. how I would push the DropShadow filter onto my Movie Clip at RunTime?
View 6 RepliesWhen I add a filter (for example drop shadow) to my movieclip on the stage (using the Flash GUI), all its children automatically has applied the filter.
Is it this a correct behavior ? How can assign the filter only to the parent movieclip?
I have a movieclip, which is having shadow and glow effect applied thru filter.
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to add a glow filter to a single MovieClip out of a few I've got on my stage. This is what I've got so far but for some reason it applies the filter to absolutely every layer on stage, instead of just the one MC I want..

Come to think of it, all I'd really need would be a stroke, rather than a glow; but I don't know of any "stroke filter".. If the big picture would help at all, what I'm trying to do is "add" borders to a few (intersecting and growing) disk layer masks.. I'd like the stroke intersection to look like the "Liquid Form" found here: [URL]
When I change color with
var blue:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
blue.color = 0xFF00B8E7;
MovieClip.transform.colorTransform = blue;
[Code]....
How can I add this bevel over or on the new color that I changed?
It seems like that the bevel takes all colors as the new color that I changed, not taking the one I specified
myBevel.highlightColor = 0xFFFFFF;
myBevel.shadowColor = 0x000000;
i have a movieclip, which is having shadow and glow effect applied thru filter.
I dont konw how to take print out thru flash.
I've seen this a couple of times on different projects, not sure if it has something to do with how I positiion things, but curious if anyone else ever sees this. Sometimes when I add a GlowFilter to a MovieClip the MovieClip seems to move just a fraction.

View 4 RepliesI'm working with a main .swf and several external .swfs that are loaded into the main timeline via a movieclip. Is it possible to add an eventListener in a main .swf's timeline that listens for when the external .swf reaches its last frame? What I would like to do is when the external .swf reaches its last frame, the next button on the main .swf's timeline would add the [glow] filter to the next button.

So you've got a transparent png. Rather than importing that png with its alpha channel, I've always assumed it's better to import it with a black or white matte, then use Flash's blend modes (lighten, darken, screen, multiply) to show the transparency.Am I right on this, or does it make no difference in terms of cpu usage?I do believe that in terms of filesize, the matte saves quite a bit over the alpha channel.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to apply a fisheye effect to a movie clip that has a tween along its "x" axis. Currently, everything is working.. ALMOST.
The fisheye effect is applied to the movieclip and the tween is applied to an object inside that movie clip, both the fisheye and tween work here. The problem is that when the object being tweened passes too far outside the "displacer" that is making the fisheye effect, it is dragging the displacer with it and causing an unwanted look[code]...
I want to create a box that has a random alpha effect over 31 frames.I'll be putting this box over top of other graphics to make it look like it's flickering.I can do this with animation but hope there is a solution using as.
