I've got a problem masking the snow effect by this tutorial : http:[url]...when i place the MC in my movie it runs good but when i mask it - its everything but good.
View 3 Repliesi have a simple .fla here which by using masks appears to "draw" a wavy box... (kinda choppy, just made it fast for example), what i am wondering is if there is a same way to achieve this effect through actionscript (not just draw a box, but to reveal any picture or shape, for a "drawing effect")[URL]. i'm kinda newish to AS, not much more then basics.
View 4 Repliescreate a reflection of the rounder corners rectangle. I realized thet there in no beginGradientFill method in Graphics3D and the gradientHorizontalPlain creates a basic rectangle without rounded corners. Also, I doesn't look like I can use masks in 3D (at least I failed trying it).All I could do is just create a semi-transparent rectangle under, but with no reflection (fading out) effect:[URL]

View 8 RepliesI am very new to AS and I'm just starting to grasp the essentials of how things are working... but I haven't got to the point to where I can write my own from scratch, so I kind of have to "Frankenstein" different examples into a working project. I found a great XML slideshow demo that I want to overlay with a masking effect, but I'm having some difficulty combining the techniques.
At the bottom is my original slideshow code. If there's anyone that can modify my code or at least guide me to what I need to do to make it work,

I have a Sprite name - thumbnailContainer which consist of following Sprites :
maskSprite @ level2
thumbnailPane @ level1
thumbnailBg @ leve0
The thing is that, I have masked the thumbnailPane with maskSprite. The issues is, whenever the external images are loaded into the thumnailPane, the mask is lost - revealing the entire horizontal stripe of the thumbnails. As well as the thumbnailBg in thumbnailContainer gets blurred even though, I have not applied any kind of filters on any sprite ! I am using TweenLite for transitions.
I wonder whether anyone could give me an idea of where I am going wrong with this.I am loading images into a sliding menu which will act as a thumbnail viewer, the structure of which is: "thumbsContainer" (movieclip) nested inside "galleryPane" (movieclip). The images are loaded into movieclips named "all_thumbs", which are added to the thumbsContainer stage.
I would like to mask the content of the thumbsContainer, so that only the images physically within the thumbsContainer border will be viewable. I have tried adding my coded mask to the thumbsContainer stage, and tying it to the thumbsContainer; and have separately tried the same with the all_thumbs movieclip - but no matter how I organise my code, I can't get this to work. If the mask is tied to the thumbsContainer mc - that element disappears; if the mask is tied to the all_thumbs mc, only the background to the thumbsContainer is visible. Either way, I cannot get thumbnails to display through the mask. No thumbnails at all will display on stage.
I've had a good look through the books I have and online, but with no joy so far.
I'd be really grateful if someone could give me a steer with this.

Basically I'm building an image gallery. Rather than thumbnails, it just loads the full size images and masks them, so they can all be scrolled through. (I made an intuative preloader for this). It all works fine. The only problem I see there being is performance, when there's quite a few images.Could anyone suggest a way to reduce the load, and make it a bit more memory friendly? I (stupidly) thought that masked out images wouldn't render. I think I'm wrong though? I thought maybe I could make the images off the screen set to 'visible = false'?

I want to mask an object which will contain text and images. I want the mask to be feathered at the bottom end, for a nice smooth effect when it animates into place. For my masking object, I've created a movie clip with a gradient, using a matrix fill. When I apply the mask, it works, but only as a rectangle. The feathered area (the grey bit) still masks completely. I'm stumped with this one. I've searched around for an explanation, but can't get it to work. Does anyone know of any examples of this working?

my first time trying to draw a multi-color gradient in actionscript 3. So I got this code from the help docs, but I can't seem to get a vertical gradient, whatever formula or number I use for rotate, it stays stuck on the default horizontal gradient :(

I'm trying to create spinning rays in actionscript to use in my website.Below is the rough idea of what i'm trying to create.Is it possible to create absolutely with 0 images.Following is the actionscript code in which i couldn't figure out how to add gradient, transperant background and little radial gradient to create glow effect.
Code:
function CreateRays():Shape {
var ray:Shape = new Shape();
ray.graphics.beginFill(0xFF9900,.5);
ray.graphics.lineStyle(1,0xFF9900,.5);
[code]....
If you paste above code in 1st frame of your scene with nothing on your scene, it will give you sweet rotating rays!
I have a mask and I want to take 12 images and put the same mask to it and then loop them.I can apply the mask to one image but would this be easier to do in actionscript or am I completely off base here?

I am loading the .png image files on my stage and i have mouse_over and Mouse_out effects on that, now this .pngfiles has little drop shadows on sides - when i mouse over it - it scales a little bit,but when i mouse over on edges - it acts wired, it countinuously detects mouse over aand mouse out like 100 times in 1 sec, if i move mouse from edges to little center then it works fine,
View 2 RepliesI'm a web designer, but I deal with HTML, PHP, JavaScript, not so much ActionScript. I have a new client, and they've already had a website designed completely in Flash. Now they only want certain elements of it, and the rest in HTML. See, the website uses the ripple effect to make images and text look as if you were sticking your finger in water - it follows the mouse. So, I want to take 3 different smaller Flash movies out of this huge, big one. But when I do, the ripple effect no longer works. Here is the action code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var map1:BitmapData = new BitmapData(900, 600, true, 0xFF0000);
this.createEmptyMovieClip("bmp1", 10);bmp1.attachBitmap(map1, 0, "auto", true );
var blur = new flash.filters.BlurFilter(8,8,5);
[Code] .....
I know I'll need to change L2 - the 900 to whatever width and the 600 to whatever height, but that's about all I understand.
I've been asked to incorporate a slideshow into a website that I'm working on, which is fine, except they have seen a particular tranition effect that is used between images, this can be seen on these two sites...[URL]. Its kind of a bleach effect? Which I presume is achieved using some sort of tween engine like Tweenmax or the Fusekit? The Honda site also has a nice second transition effect which is pretty cool, where dots kind of fall away? Has this just been done on the timeline?

how would one go about replicating it or something similar. I like the way the images transition between each other and the hover over zoom effect. [URL] Is there any tutorial on how to achieve something like this or close to it?
View 3 RepliesI have build a gallery but its very simple. It takes images from xml file. I have attached all files in zip. First when I press next button it goes to next image but with no effect. It just displays next image. I want to incorporate a sliding effect when the image is changed to another. And second I want to use autoplay feature. As soon as swf starts the images came one by one with difference of few seconds.

View 1 RepliesI followed the tutorial concerning the "Photo Gallery using XML and Flash", and everything works great. The only problem is that I have to make some alterations in the initial code, and I just can't get it right.
Here's what I have to do:
1. Introduce a fade out that intertwines with the fade in of the nextImage;
2. Add a link to the xml, so that when the user clicks the images, each leads to a different page.
To achieve this, I've tried to play around with the alpha values on prevImage, slideshow, and nextImage functions, but as for the results either the pictures don't appear, or simply flash intermittently when they do. As for the Link part, I've trying to introduce a <link> line on the xml file, and put a 'href' value on the <image> line. None worked.
This is my first post and wanted to say what a great site, i found the above tutorial and wanted to know how i would go about adding different images to the panes instead of having the same image repeated.I've added the below bit of actionScript from the page that i think i have to alter but don't know how to..
"// attach each pane in a loop and arrange them in a
// circle based on the circumference of the circle
// divided into steps[code]....
where i can find a panandzoom class?I like to read a folder containing images with a pan and zoom effect.
