Flash - Dealing With A Transparent Png File Symbol?
Oct 5, 2011
In my project, there is a frame(png files) placed on the top of all symbols. After that, I apply mouse click event to the symbols that place underneath the frame symbol, but when I run the the game, I cannot click to the below symbols but only the frame symbol, although the frame is transparent.
The problem is, although the png picture has some transparent area, the mouse click cannot pass through it. Is there solution? Is there anyway I can disable a symbol from being clicked and mouse click event can recognize the symbol placed under it?

I have a Flash web app which displays user submitted PNG files. Files are uploaded to the server via some API prior to being displayed. I'd like to make sure no "bad" files are served to Flash, where "bad" is entirely unspecific. Is there a way to validate PNG files against the PNG specs (this would catch corrupted files)? Or any best pratice on dealing with untrusted image files? I only need to handle PNG, so JPG, GIF etc. support is necessary. Language mostly does not matter, though I'd prefer Python solutions. This is on a Unix webserver.

I have a flash that has a background symbol that responds to CLICK event. On top of that symbol I have a sprite that contains a Bitmap with transparent pixels. Both of them are added to the stage, so they are not related directly.
I want clicks on the transparent pixels on the sprite to go straight through to the background. I have read about mouseEnabled / mouseChildren but have not been able to make these work. The symbol ignores the mouse events when I use them, but does not pass it along as if its transparent.
Is this possible to do with flash? Or will I have to re-route mouse events?

I need to load in a large CSV file (>1MB) and parse it. Generally this is quite easy to do by splitting first on linebreaks and then commas. The problem is though that some entries contain Strings that include their own commas. When this spreadsheet is converted to CSV, the lines containing commas are wrapped in quotes.
I've written a parser that first escapes all the commas in these strings, then splits it on linebreaks and then commas, and then unescapes the values again.
This is quite a slow process for such a long string, as I need to iterate through the whole string. Does anyone know a faster or more optimised method of dealing with this?

I am very new to ActionScript. I have a .fla file which contains the AS2 code for the frames. What I need to do is that I have to export this code as a separate file. There may be a separate file(or class file) for each frame code. Is it possible to me do it automatically without losing animation interactivity and functionality? Or is there any other way?

Ultimately i would like to insert my flash file (which is a website) into dreamweaver but i want it to interact with my background image in dreamweaver (which fills the whole browser page edge to egde) so it shows through my flash file which will have an opaque backgorund?

can i have a transparent vedio file ( for example avi ) or any other accepted formats into flash ??? I'm using 3d studio to make some antimations and i need to add them on my flash movie and of course they should be transparent. if there is any way other than using a sequence of png image files (( which is a too stupid way because of the large number of frames )).

Is there a way to launch a pop-up window from a transparent Flash file, without it getting blocked by the pop-up blocker? I know it's a security issue with the different browsers not to let you pop-up a window from a transparent .swf, but is there anyway around it? Like tricking the browser in anyway? I've tried everything I can think of, passing stuff to the html page with Javascript and then having the HTML page call the pop-up but that means that the page has to refresh then call the pop-up.

I have some stock footage of smoke on a black background (.mov format) that I would like to convert to a flash file with a transparent background, which I will be overlaying over a PNG image on a webpage.
I have managed to remove the black background in After Effects using a plugin called UnMult, but when I try to render as a FLV file in AE, even though I check the option to preserve the alpha channel and encode using the On2 VP6 codec, I still get a black background.
So I am wondering what else to try, whether it be with AE or Flash CS4. Is there a way of achieving this effect by directly importing the MOV file into Flash CS4 and removing the black background there, or do I have to use AE, and if so, how to achieve the effect I am looking for?

Seeing as I don't have too much formal education Flash/OOP in general, this is just one of those thing I can't seem to quite deal with gracefully. All I'm trying to do is to be able to load/reset my an instance of my game's main class (not the first class that gets pulled up by Flash, but the one that actually has games logic in it), which of course extends MovieClip. It took me a while before I could even make an instance in it, because it would silently crashed when I would try to do so, and what didn't help was that the output window stopped working, and I had to completely reinstall flash. As far as I remember I simply fixed it by taking out the "stage." from any of the lines of codes that had it.

I have a project in Flash Professional CS5 and ActionScript 3.
I have a movieclip symbol (referred herein as "background" with scripts on various keyframes inside of that symbol. I need to hide or show another symbol (referred herein as "object") sharing a stage with "background".
To put it another way, I need "object" to be hidden when "background" reaches a certain internal keyframe. However, as "object" and "background" are both children of the same stage, how do I do this?

I've read a Flash tutorial which states in order for your published swf. to have no background you have to:
File - Publish Settings - HTML tab - Windows Mode: Transparent Windowless - Publish
I have then exported the file as a swf. and mounted it in a HTML container expecting the Flash movie to have no background.This did not happen, there was a plain white background in the container instead.

I am loading an embeded swf file with SWFLoader using actionscript 3 in Flash Builder 4.5. When I load this swf and set "wmode" to "transparent" in HTML, it works as expected and you can see the background color through the swf object in HTML.
However, when I load the swf in Air with the following code:
[Embed(source="swf/data.swf")] var data:Class;
swfLoader = new SWFLoader();
swfLoader.percentWidth = 100;
[Code]....
It always has a white background.
What can I do to make the background transparent?
Note: This is for a mobile android device.

I've got a movieclip called img_container that holds a draggable image (img_mc) and a mask over img_mc. I can save my img_container out as a transparent png which works great but the issue I have is that the png dimensions are still the size of the original img_mc. I fairly new to AS3 so I'm at a stand still. What I would like to do is save out the bitmap as only the visible area of the masked img_mc. The mask (called myMask) is also draggable and resizable so I'm not sure how to go about saving that specific area only.

I have a flash site (portfolio), and it uses buttons to load/remove different .swf file (it is an XML gallery that I did not write.) It works perfectly - the FIRST time I load/unload a .swf . . . however, every .swf file loaded after the first one comes in partially transparent (it normally fades in), but otherwise the .swf is fully functional. Each .swf has it's own unique name/images, but is otherwise identical to the original gallery. It doesn't matter which one I open first - the first one is always correct, the rest, not. Also, the degree of transparency varies randomly, but generally seems to hover somewhere around 1/2 way.
[code]...
I know that something in the XML gallery is causing this (switch to a completely different .swf and the transparency issues go away), but I also think that I am likely not unloading the .swf correctly and that some part of it is remaining in the memory and creating issues when it is used more than once.

I wanted to put on the stage a png file with some transparent areas, unfortunately it weight too much.So instead I thought I'll create a shape object and use jpeg image as it's mask...
This is my code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.Shape;
[code]....
And it doesn't work, can I use jpeg images to mask the shape at all?

I'm trying to get data from a namespaced xml file in a flex app. There is a root namespace (xmlns="blah") and another namespace (xmlns:i="blah"), and I'm able to access most tags using the following:
var ns:Namespace = doc.namespace();
var result:XMLList = doc.ns::element;
However, there are several tags that are subject to change in the application, and i'd like to not hardcode them, possibly using the elements method:
var result:XMLList = doc.elements(configuredField);
Is there a way to get elements with namespaces using the elements method, or a similar way to get XML elements in flex using a parameter?

I'm making a small memory game that is XML driven (users can upload images into the game). I've come to the point where I need to check if the user has filled out certain nodes or not, and if so; check that the input is valid - int when int is expected and whatnot.
What are the ways to check this, and which is best? So far I've only tried checking if a node is == "" or not, but I imagine there must be better ways. I will include lots of switches for the user which should all be optional. This calls for a neat way to validate it.

I'm trying to draw PNGs onto BitmapData that is transparent.
I create my BitmapData like this (using ARGB for the color):
new BitmapData(width, height, true, 0x00000000);
And clean it by using the same ARGB value:
bitmapData.fillRect(bitmapData.rect, 0x00000000);
When I use copyPixels() to draw graphics onto the cleaned BitmapData, I get this result:
If I don't use ARGB for the BitmapData color, it works fine:
But I have to specify a solid fillColor, meaning I can't render what's behind the Bitmap.
How can I make my BitmapData transparent, but not have the above occur?

I'm trying to add some animation into my flex application, so I've made an animated .swf that I want to embed into the application. The problem I'm having is if I use a SWFLoader, it comes up with a solid background colour, the same as the container window, I can't seem to get rid of this,
I have searched the internet thoroughly for a resolution and spent an entire day at work unable to sort this problem out. I am using Flex 3.2 sdk and Adobe Air 1.5.0
Embedding as a symbol is also a possiblity I've tried, and would prefer to do it that way if possible as it will make it easier to add code to stop/start the animation at different positions.
The component I am adding the animation to is a TitleWindow, not sure if thats relevant but maybe it makes a difference!
