I have two MovieClips onscreen, and I want to apply the same mask to both. I set the the masks using
mc1.mask = mymask;
mc2.mask = mymask;
Only mc2 receives the mask. How can I set the same mask for two different MovieClips without having to resort to putting them both in a single MovieClip?
Currently i have 10 movieClips and named it as (dog0, dog1, dog2 ... dog9) I would like to appy a mask for these movieClips (dogs) ~~ by using ActionScript[code]...

View 4 RepliesI'm having a bit of a problem with a basic game I'm making where I want to have a number of animals which bounce around the stage.. I can't seem to get the code to apply to more than one of my movieclips using a loop.. if I try to apply vx and vy to the individual movieclips then nothing happens.. for now I have the ten movieclips on the stage but only one whichbounces around.. I have managed to get all of them to move but they each stay in their own area of the stage, but I'd like each to bounce around the stage and not interfere which the others movement.

this is my code I've been looking all over for an example of setting a mask using AS2I have a container MovieClip I create dynamically I've tried to attach a movieclip to the container then set mask before loading the swfI would like to know how to dynamically generate a mask or use a symbol from the library or stage if need be whatever works.This is my code.
var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container", 3);var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(this);mcLoader.loadClip("slideshow.swf", container);

there are loads of tutorials for maginfying glasses that use draggable movie clips and masks.
do you think it would be possible to have a blur filter effect on a mask. basically i will have a jpg as a background, a mask that follows the cursor, and where ever the cursor goes the jpg will be fuzzy under the mask.
How do I apply a layer mask to every layer in my movie? After I highlight all of the layers and put them in the layer mask, the layers that are in folders will not go in the layer mask.

View 9 RepliesI have gone through a nightmare trying to apply a gradient/soft mask. I know I will be dreaming it tonight.. Anyways. This is a link of my attempt: [URL] And the problem is FLASH CS3 is bugged to actually work out a simple piece of code:
[Code]...
I want to apply a gradient mask to a movieclip that contains a flv video. I'm aware that i would need to cache the movieclip as a bitmap in order to apply a mask using actionscript, but would that work even if the movieclip itself contains an flv video?
View 1 Repliesim going crazy with the simple matherfather task. i want to make a mask and applay it to a picture but i need to do it in actionsript. so what i do is create all necessery objs. at stage, acces them in class. set movie's clip mask and it's working but not the way i want. i want to have empty hole inside of mask which is a movie clip. that is not possible until i make a empty hole connected to the edge of mask with empty space. only then its showin the empty hole (and the connecting empty space aswell and) [URL]

View 2 RepliesI need to make a little animation in Flash.So I would like to make few Swf's succeed. I found, as a start, this little piece of code in the Flashkit board. (URL...)[code]This code is ok to call many Swf's, but not to place them at a special timing. I would like to have a Timing control on them, like:Mc01.swf plays X sec, then stop. Then Mc02.swf plays X sec, then stop. Then Mc03.swf plays X sec, etc.
View 5 Replieshow, to apply a property of a var to multiple vars at once. I'm making a point-n-click game where i want to apply the buttonMode property to multiple variables (of MovieClips).
I don't know if this is even possible or how simple or advanced this is, but it would be damn handy.
I have searched on Google and this site for a possible answer, with different search terms/keywords, but can't find anything close. I also tried different things with an asterisk such as *.buttonMode = true and movieClip.*.buttonMode = true but no success.
I'm trying to apply a ChangeDepths() to a bunch movieclips that I've nested inside a main movieclip which I'm using as a mask. The ChangeDepths() function worked fine when the clips were not nested, but after I placed them in a new movieclip, I get this error:

How can I use the Tween class to apply filters to movieClips?
i want to apply a DropShadow through a tween so that it applys smoothly. Actually i want it to apply on rollover and remove itself on rollout.
I am using CS3, AS2.I have a background image that I am allowing the user to select multiple layers over the top of (layer 1: new pattern, Layer 2: design) and the movieclips have the Blend: Overlay applied to them. My problem is when they select a second option (or a second overlay is applied to the background) the overlay shows the layer belows pattern in the new layer.My question is, is there a way to have the the two movieclips ignore each other and only apply the Blend:Overlay to the background movieclip?
View 3 RepliesIs there a way to use the same movieclip as a mask for 2 other movieclips??
Like this:
shadow1.setMask(shadowMask)
shadow2.setMask(shadowMask)
Ofcourse applying the above directly, will only apply the mask to shadow2. Is there a way to get around this, to have the mask for both movieclips, without duplicating the mask movieclip??
im trying to use a use a code segment that makes something avoid the mouse. My issue is the code requires that iff i have more than one object that i want to avoid the mouse than i need to make a new set of variables for the second object and pretty much copy the code than change the variable names. Thats all great and dandy but i have a couple hundred very small objects that i need to avoid the mouse. is there any way to maybe apply the code to each object with an onclipload maybe?
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.Event;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fun);
function fun(event:Event) :void {

as you can see the object i want to move requires its own variables and 2 if statements. and i REALLY dont want to have to copy/paste that code over 200 times and make a new set of variables for each object. maybe i could apply the code to the object itself ? but than what would i name the variables?
I'm kind of new to AS3 and I created a blur effect for 6 text object. I got the result I wanted, but I thought there has to be a better way of doing this. When a mouse is over a text, other texts get blur. Now, I had only 6 object what if you have 10s of objects on the stage.[code]...

This was something I looked at a while back but couldn't figure it out. Now returning to give it another go.Basically I want to find out how to check if a movieclip is visible under a mask.I've got a row of thumbs in a movieclip under a mask. Some are out with the the masked area so I've got some script to make the movieclip scroll the other thumbs into view of the masked area. Is there any code I can apply to the thumbs to check if they are in or not in view of the masked area?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to build a simple mask with 2 children mcs. The masking is almost working, but the two children only mask where they don't overlap. I've tried using a mask layer and using code, and it's the same effect either way.

sticker.mask = noteMask_mc;
Tweener.addTween(noteMask_mc.mask_1, {y:-540, scaleX:2.5, scaleY:2.5, time:10, transition:"easeIn"});

I'm trying to dynamically generate a menu for a site. I have one movieclip that i duplicate and i want all those duplicates to share a mask.
[Code]...
This causes only the first menuitem to use the mask. After some searching i found that i should combine all these generated movieclips into one container movieclip and ultimately mask that container with myMask. I tried some createEmptyMovieClip, attachMovie & setMask combo's but it doesnt seem to work.
