Dec 14, 2011I am using a third party flash as3 code to load graphics using sprite. There is a class (load) that takes care of the loading of the graphics.In a new class(getname), I want to be able to1. Load the graphics (done)2. On mouseover change the color of graphics(done)3. Display name of rolled over graphic (not working). I have tried the following in
getname:var feature : load;feature.name;
I get a null object error. Now I have used the mousevent routine(e.target.name) and can display the instance #(instance149). But what I really want is the name of the graphics that the load function loads (graphics and the dbf with all the attributes including the name).
ActionScript 3 :: Direct Access To Sprite Graphics
Jul 27, 2010I"m new to AS3 and I would like to know how can I get to graphics of a Sprite so I could draw it directly from it. I mean I don"t want to use Sprite class as my concrete objects I just want Sprite to hold graphics so if my own object needs to be drawn it asks for graphics to SpriteManager which returns Sprite with required graphics and draws it exactly where I want to not where Sprite's coordinates points to.
View 1 RepliesFlash - How To Erase Part Of Sprite Graphics
May 6, 2009If I have a sprite, with which I have drawn some stuff, how do I erase part of what I have drawn? Preferably I could use drawRect with some "alpha=0" paint. However, I don't believe beginFill lets you set an rgba color (like you can in bitmapdata). Setting alpha = 0 in beginFill doesn't really do anything -- it just draws nothing. In my particular use case, masking isn't an option. Also, calling clear() isn't a good solution since it clears away everything.

Jan 26, 2012I have a program that dynamically draws a polygon wherever the user clicks on the screen.

Is there an issue with depth when drawing symbols vs. drawing with lines? How can I ensure my dynamic object will display in front?

IDE :: SWF Optimization - Heavy Graphics - Convert A MovieClip To Sprite
Jun 19, 2009I'm coding games that come with the graphics done. Unfortunately the designer has some bad practices, such as not using Sprite symbols - never. And the files have dozens (even hundreds) of symbols in the library, very few of them with any animation. I would like to re-brand such symbols as Sprite to save some CPU (and maybe even kB), but my graphics-related skills are very low. Where should I start? Check and convert the symbols at authoring time or it's possible to do this at runtime? Can I effectively convert a MovieClip to Sprite (I'm guessing casting to sprite won't help much) or another light image type?

View 3 RepliesActionscript 3 :: How Does Graphics Class Work Without Needing To Extend Sprite / Shape
Nov 21, 2010So I'm playing with a project where I want my class to be able to use the functionality of the Graphics class without needing to extend Sprite/Shape. My goal aside, I guess I'm confused as to how it works at all? It's methods don't seem to return anything, and since it's added as a child property of the Sprite/Shape classes , I can't seem to figure out what it's actually doing? It's also one of those classes that can't be instantiated.
At this point, I'm just plain curious. EDIT: I should provide more clear distinction of what I'm looking for as answer. I have read the documentation, but the documentation doesn't account for what AS3 is actually doing. I'm looking for educated guesses about the programatic relationship between Graphics and the the classes that use it.
IDE :: Unit Is XML Motion Measured In?
Sep 19, 2009I output a motion to an XML file using the Export Motion XML command. Then I applied it to a new graphic, and it came out wrong. After 323 frames of motion, the graphic is now at the wrong position, about 15 pixels to the left of where it should be.
When creating the animation, I had "snap to pixels" turned on, so every position of the source graphic is at a round number. When I look at the values in the generated XML file, it's full of sequences like this:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Make A Sprite Button With Graphics And Can't Make It Work?
Aug 22, 2011* I have a flash project called contact
* The document class is ContactClass
I am trying to make a sprite button with graphics and can't make it work. I have successfully added text fields so I know the path is correct. I suspected my code was correct and confirmed it should be, after reading several tutorials showing the process for creating sprite buttons with graphics. Anyway, I imported nearly every class on Earth, but certainly everything which needs to be. Stage is gray and 800x600.The graphics code by itself with appear, but not when linked to the sprite. Also, the sprite won't appear no matter what. Another interesting piece of the puzzle: nothing will trace, not even objects such as textfields which actually appear and function on the stage when I text the code.
public class ContactClass extends Sprite {
public function ContactClass() {
var home_btn:Sprite = new Sprite();[code]....

View 2 RepliesFlash :: Dynamically Adding Property To Sprite?
Sep 25, 2010generally, how i work involves designing all of my graphics in Flash Authoring, converting them to Sprite symbols by changing the base class to flash.display.Sprite, give my instances names and finally export them to ActionScript.the approach actually permits me to dynamically create properties in code on my Sprite instances that i've exported to ActionScript, just as if they were instances of MovieClips. i'm not entirely sure why i'm able to do this, but i can. in polling the objects to make sure of their superclass, they are indeed Sprites and not MovieClips.however, as expected, if i program a new sprite from scratch in code and try to dynamically add a property to the new programmed sprite a compile time error will result.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access The MouseChildren Property Of A Sprite?
Oct 5, 2009Through getChildByName is it possible to access the mouseChildren property of a Sprite? I'm guessing no, but before I go about changing something I want to make sure it's necessary and that I'm not just doing something wrong..
ex:
Code:
STAGE.getChildByName('container').mouseChildren = false;
Would give me an error. I see this is because getChildByName returns a DisplayObject object. So I guess my question is: Is it possible to get the actual Object (Sprite in my case)?
Flash :: Set ScaleX Property On A Sprite Without Altering The Child Inside
Mar 25, 2010My site is set up with next and prev buttons on the right and left sides respectively, and as you roll over either of the hit areas around the buttons a Sprite fades in which contains a TextField that describes the next page. Said Sprite calls the StartDrag() method, so it follows the mouse within the bounds, which is all fine and dandy on the left side of the page. Adobe, however, seems to have forgotten to put a way to dynamically alter the registration point of a Sprite, MC, whatever else, so when you roll over the right side of the page, the sprite is displayed from the top left and is mostly off the stage.
Trying to hack this problem I have tried numerous things ( classes written by others, other hacks) and the best that I have found is to use the scaleX method on the Sprite, changing the scale to -1. This, of course, makes the Sprite seem like it's reflected from its normal point, which means all its children show up backwards.
Is there anyway I can use this hack without it altering the text?
OR
Does anyone know a different way to go about displaying a Sprite from another corner? Any way to make a Sprite fade in and follow the mouse on the LEFT HAND side of the mouse pointer?
Here is a snippet to give an idea of what's happening:
naxtPage.labelBG.scaleX = -1;
nextPage.labelBG.startDrag( true, nextHitRect );
nextPage.labelBG.x = nextPage.labelBG.parent.mouseX;
nextPage.labelBG.y = nextPage.labelBG.parent.mouseY;
Flash - Accessing A MovieClip's Property Within A Sprite (and Vice-versa)?

I tried accessing the Thing.as public var thingState's property;
directly,
using something called Casting (??),
assigning an instance name,
but something that seemed so simple doesn't work,I commented the errors I got next to each way I tried,conversely how would I access the MovieClip Thing2MovieClip from Thing.as (which is a child of Test.as because that's where it's instantiated), it just doesn't recognise an object of its parent exists, here are the 2 classes:
package com.hello.test.test
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;[code]........
I think i'm missing some basic but fundemental understanding of ActionScript 3 and I have no other knowledge of other scripting /programming languages either.when I follow tutorials exactly they seem simple enough, but then start applying what I think is logical usage then it throws up errors..

Apr 9, 2005I was wondering about MC and hey can help to lag a game out. I set up an advanced class system so i don't have to use MC to simulate walls, all i use isthe x,y,width and height. Well anyway since i don't need MC anymore I was wondering if there is a way to attach Graphics instead of MC cause a Graphics file size is relatively small than that of a graphic, I think. If anyone could tell me thats true and show me a way to attach graphics that would be nice. I haven't tried it yet but maybe if I exported the graphic from the library imihgt be able to call its name, but it doesn't have an instance name so im stuck.
