How to set bitmap image in canvas background?
I've got a canvas in my app which I want to be backgrounded with a grid. I suppose, I need to create a DisplayObject with a single grid cell drawn on it and set it as a repeated bitmap fill for the canvas, but I can't figure out how to do that.
View 2 RepliesI need the exact simple application but the ability to choose a background image from a file on the server as the canvas and I want to save the created image on a server file instead of on the client machine. The ability to change the pencil drawing size would be an additional plus. I work with php and mysql so I would like to use them to store the file parameters, even as a blob in mysql, along with some additional user (server) defined variables (I can do the php/mysql side if I can get the file there, I understand there is an swf to png ByteArray class that might be able to save on server. The project is for an opensource group so the final product would need to remain as such, I would be able to pay for the modifications mentioned above. The source files are available at the links below. [URL]
View 1 RepliesI have a canvas which I want to accept drags on. I have added a dragOver and dragEnter event listeners to the canvas, but they only work if I drag over something inside the canvas (another child element). I realised that if I set the canvas' background colour to black it works. So I have set it's background transparency to 0, which works... buy is there a better way to work around this apparent need for the canvas to have something inside it to accept dragEvents.

Or is that beyond the bounds of flash? I know it can be done in other languages but its been years since I've done any programming.
View 2 RepliesI've bought a component on flashden. This is a text component that makes it possible to load CSS & Html on your flash project. Check the included zip for the source. What I want is that the background of the component is transparant. Now it has a linear gradient. I've tried to set the drawing in the component to zero alpha but that didn't do the trick. How to edit the background (if nescessary by actionscript)?

I want to fade in a background with a alpha tween after it's loaded in by an UILoader. Everything seems to be working great when I do a Test Movie (in Flash) or view it in IE. However, I encounter a problem when viewing in Firefox. Somehow the alpha does'nt come up to 1(100%). Sometimes my background image is barely visable and sometimes it's at ~90%. It seems to be completely random.

//load random background (1 to 10)
var randomNumber:Number=Math.ceil(Math.random()*10);

I've tried increasing the final value (Regular.easeOut,0,1,2,true) and this will change something but doesn't solve the problem. I've also tried instead of fading in the background to fade out a overlaying vectorshape, but same result.Is it possible it has something to do with other script/my background img size/??.

View 3 RepliesI tried to playing around with the augmented reality. Therefore I watched the tutorial (http:url....) and all works like a charme to me. I replaced the kramer.m4v with my own video. It works perfectly.But I want to have my own video on a transparent layer.So that I can see myself not within the background of my video.Therefore I did a video on a greenscreen and keyed the background. All seems to be ok!I exported the video in an .mov with the alpha channel. It works so far, but the black background is still there if i hold the marker to the camera.so my question is: Is it not possible to export a mov with the alpha channel to let the background go away?
Any hints or workaround? I just want to have a video with me speaking on a transparent background and not with teh black background. I changed the kramer.m4v in the HELLOFlar.as to kramer.mov (its with my own video, just the name is the same) but the background isnīt gone

View 2 RepliesBasically I want to go to frame2 when the cursor leaves the canvas. The code below contains no errors when tested but it still does not work.
[Code]...
We know that the function gotoAndStop(frame2); works in multiple situations which means the first 3 line is fine. I don't know if the problem is the MOUSE_LEAVE event or this.stage which i suppose is the identifier for the canvas. I sure that there must be an alternative code for the identifier this.stage or the whole code. Any solution on how to fire the given function in the event when the cursor leaves the canvas?

just spotted this curious trick. If you want to flip something to go invisible on a click, and then reappear on another click (etc etc), try this:
create the sprite, setting alpha to either to 1 OR -1
mySprite.alpha=1; //OR
mySprite.aplha=-1;

View 2 RepliesI've designed a Flash site in CS3 using Action Script 2.0 that has a main flash movie sorta floating in space over a gradient background. I want the gradient background to re-size with the browser, so I thought that the easiest way to do this would be to delete the gradient background in Flash and instead recreate the background in Dreamweaver using the repeat background option and then make the Flash movie's background transparent. (I hope I'm making some amount of sense here).
I've found a few tutorials on how to do this, but so far I just get a white background instead of transparent. I've tried choosing "Transparent - Windowless" under Window Mode on the HTML tab in Publish Settings. And I've tried selecting the movie from within DW and clicking the parameter button and adding a "wmode" parameter with "transparent" as its value.

View 7 RepliesI have converted a large background image (much larger than the stage) into a Movie Clip. I did this so I can make it scroll as the player traverses to the edge of the scene.This appears to make the player free to roam the entire background image.I have a tree symbol with a class attached to it that blocks player movement.Here is my problem:
When I drag and drop instances of the tree symbol onto the background, the trees are stationary and do not scroll with the background.I do not want to have to implement code to make the trees scroll when the background does.I was wondering if there was a way to simply attach the trees to the background so that if the background moves, the trees move with it and appear to be part of the background as if they were drawn into it.It is convenient for me to be able to drag and drop as many trees as i need to block certain routes on the background from the player.I tried writing code to make the trees move but it was only working for the very last tree that I added to the scene.
As far as I know theres in no way to cahnge the alpha of a dynamic text box. I put one in a movie clip and when i try to change the alpha of it everything else in it changes its alpha but the not the DT box. Could someone plz verify for me that u can't change alpha and help me find a component that allows alpha control with a dynamic text box. thx in advance.
View 5 RepliesI really don't know much about flash or swf files but in updating my portfolio I came across Polaroid gallery. I have managed to update the background jpeg with my own picture and remove the fade effect. However in the original program the background was tileable so when seen in a full screen browser looked fine. As my picture is not tileable I would like to know if it is possible to scale the background or the whole swf object without tiling the background.
View 1 RepliesI am relatively new to Flash CS3 and i have been learning Action-script 3 over the past week. I have come quite a long way and i have made a site in flash but i just have a question.I have been using an image as my background and i am happy with the way flash automatically scales all the objects in my file but the background image does not scale. Is there a way to do this? I have found out things online which show me how to add auto-resizing to the background but this knocks off the flash auto scaling/resizing for everything else.
