Here is my code:
var menu = new Menu ();
menu.x = 0;
menu.y = 0;[code]...........
This works, but transparency varies for each element MovieClip separately, but I would like that would have changed the whole MovieClip transparency as a single image.
Menu(); is generated from XML.

View 1 Repliesi want to collapse a complex scene with all different layers and different transparency into a single layer (or as few as possible) to optimize the flash file for online (were experince proformance issues). I have tried the combine and manually copying pasting into one layer but it cuts the fill below and replace with transparent fill. I want to have a end file that is 100% solid.

I've tried to export my vector work from Flash to Illustrator. The result is bad : colors have faded and transparent colors became opaque. It is a shame that Flash doesn't provide a correct export function to
Illustrator now that Flash and Illustrator are both Adobe's softwares.

I create a modal window with PopUpManager
_zoomImgPopUp = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, Image, true) as Image;
When the modal window is opened, all background is gray and with blur. How can i change color, blur and transparency of background.

but it is for "mx" application. I need something with "spark" components.
UPD: Solved. It must be:
_zoomImgPopUp.setStyle("modalTransparency", 0);
_zoomImgPopUp.setStyle("modalTransparencyBlur", 0);
PopUpManager.addPopUp(_zoomImgPopUp, this, true);
I have two backgrounds on different layers, and an object that can be dragged around. What I want to happen is that an area around the object should be transparent so you can see the background behind the first background, and when the object is moved, the transparent area should also move. Kind of like a "see-through" effect.

View 1 Repliescan flash take each frame and export it out as a image ? In my case, I want to create sprite images for a flashdevelop project using blitting. Of course I know there is a solution for this. like copy and paste each shape into a image editor such as photoshop and turn them into png's. But I am just seeing if there is a simpler means of doing so.
View 2 RepliesIm quite new to the ActionScript scene so apologies if thisquestion has already been answered elsewhere. I am creating a 2dshooting game, and Im loading multiple images of various enemiesfrom several jpg files, but when I display these on screen heimages have a big black square round them. Now when I amprogramming in another language such as OpenGL, if I wanted to getrid of this I would enable an alpha blending function and set 100%transparency for the black colour which I want to hide. So I loadthe jpeg file and store it in a BitmapData variable, and then Icopy this into a new BitmapData variable with transparency enabledand set to 0x00000000 (fully transparent black). I thought thiswould solve my problem butt no joy. My code is shown below:public class GraphicsLoader extends Sprite {
public var loader:Loader; // The bitmap loader
public var bmp1:Bitmap;
public function GraphicsLoader(path:String)

How to recreate an explosion effect like Flash 8 adn MX used to have. It is not in the presets. I tried to break apart but something is missing. How can I accomplish this?

View 4 RepliesI have the following package[code]...
1. The class instantiates and adds a number as text on top of the image that I created the MovieClip class from
2. As the main class of the fla rotates images it calls the loadItem() function of each corresponding button.
3. That function starts the timer and, on each tick of the timer, the background image changes.
What is happening right now with this code is that the new image (that I want to be the background image behind the text) is coming in on top of the text.
Is there a way to simply replace the image currently loaded into the MovieClip.
I am trying to change the color of an image within a MC using color matrix. What I want to do is adjust he hue, saturation, contrast, and brightness so I can create a realistic color change without affecting shadows when you click on a color box. I have played with the filters within the application and can achieve it but want to do so with actionscript.
On each button I have a code similar to...
on (release){
_root.page = "color2";
_root.myClickedBtnFunction();
}
Then within the primary timeline I have if then's under the myClickedBtnFunction to the effect of...
if (_root.btn=="color2"){
code will go here...
}
Here is a link to the file I am trying to apply the effect to [URL].
I have a movieclip and I am loading on it an external swf. The mc is just a square box basically...it is set to 69% alpha/transparent in the "Color effect: style: alpha" settings.The problem is, when I load the swf now the swf is also transparent (seems like 69%)...I basically want the mc to be transparent, but the swfs that load w/in it should not be transparent.
example code:
mc.createEmptyMovieClip("newClip", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.newClip.loadMovie("some.swf");

I'm an actionscript dude - I'm working on a papervision game.

I'm trying to create flash app where a single jpeg (person headshot) is loaded into the masked movieclip (same size as passport photo) (using loadMovie), then user can edit the image (drag inside mask, zoom, rotate) and then after pressing a button the app duplicates the EDITED image 4 times - to make sort of headshot sheet.
While I know how to load movie, drag single clip or scale it, I have no idea how to duplicate the movieclip once is edited, to make identical copies of it (scaled, rotated...)If I use duplicateMovieClip it won't work since it won't duplicate the loaded image.
I have 16 movieclips, each with different instances and linking to htmlsI owuld like to have it so that when you ROLL_OVER a movieclip, they shift position 1 along the x and 2 along y axis.I've given each MC a ROLL_OVER event listener and know I could call separate function for each but I'm sure there's an easier way.This is what I have already have
Mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, go1);
Mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, nudge);
Mc2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, go2);

I have a question about textfields and I'm wondering if it is possible to change text styles of single words or lines within a textfield with actionscript.I use an empty textfield and add my text to that field in actionscript with the following code:
myTfield.text = "insert text here"the text contains multiple lines and I want some of them to be bold, italic or a bigger font size. The reason why I am adding my text to my textfield this way is because I need the text in the textfield to change when some buttons are pressed. Text will be added or removed from the textfield if buttons are pressed by the user and the current way I'm changing the text is by simply re-using the code above with new text in it. (it makes the code quite long though, but I guess I'll have to deal with that)But because I'm adding text this way I am not sure how to change the style of different parts of the text.
On a related note, with CS5 there are now a number of options for textfields. There is TLF text and classic text. I've searched around for the differences but I don't find the awnsers very clear. What option should I use for my textfield if I want it to look sharp like the text I'm typing here (its just regular text, no headers or anything). Some options just give blurry text because of the anti-alias and some settings don't seem to change a thing. And at times embedding fonts looks nice but sometimes it makes it worse. There are so many options to choose from, but it is unclear what would work best for regular text. (my text won't animate, it does move with a scrollbar, but I only care about how it looks when the scrollbar is still)
