View 1 RepliesHere 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.
I have a movieclip that contains two frames, each frame contains a different set of buttons.
it seems that i cannot add the event listeners to buttons that are not in my current viewed frame.
so.. problem one: is there a way to add event listeners to all the elements in the movieclip even if the elements are in a different frame.
problem two: after I added an event listener to some elements in current frame and then I move forward to the next frame and go back to the same frame, all the event listeners are removed and i need to initialize them again. is there a way to resolve the issue without the need to re-initialize the event listeners ?
how i could change the movieclip border around a circular object/movieclip.cuz know my my hitTestObject will also test on the corner of the movieClip and not the actual see able object like i show down here how coud i change this border to the second image?
View 3 RepliesI 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.
[URL]
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 2 RepliesURL..they rocky frame you see is a PNG and it's converted in MovieClip to be able to change it's index so it's always in front of the other objects.Problem: once I get what I want (MC+png is in front of everything) I'm not able to interact with anything under the MC anymore.I know the problem it's that the png extends for all the MC space but I really need to make those object under the frame interactable.
View 2 RepliesI have a page which displays dynamic flash content from issuu.com. I need to add wmode="transparent" because otherwise navigation menu shows under flash. Is there a short way to do this with jQuery or simple java-script?I don't want to change embed code every time a flash is added.
View 4 RepliesWhen I use Bitmap.draw() to copy a displayObject do I lose the transparency? In one case I might be copying a .png file that had transparency and in another case I'm copying a composite image made up of multiple DisplayObjects. It seems as though the resulting images are bitmaps with no transparency.
Is it possible to duplicate .png files in memory, preserving the transparency and having unique objects for using in different places in the display?
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 have a collection of animated sprites with a brown background and I want to know how to make the brown transparent. Is there some kind of color keying in flash? The brown is #5E4229 by the way.

mc1.mask = mc2
mc2 is a movie clip that is 50% alpha. How can I mask mc1 and keep the alpha transparency? That's about it.
I'm an actionscript dude - I'm working on a papervision game.
I have an asset of which is 127 pngs in a sequence for an animation.
I can happily project this onto my papervision plane. Problem is, there is no transparency. I Can't use a BitmapFileMaterial as I have many pngs -
I have a PSD with about 30 layered transparencies. I exported each individual layer as a PNG 24 with the transparent background in tact. I then made identical layers in Flash just like I had in Photoshop, and imported each PNG to it's corresponding layer at which point I converted the graphic to a movie clip for future scripting animations. Once I got to the 24th layer Flash quit recognizing my transparencies and my first Flash layer masked anything else I brought in from layer 24 on....but the layers above remained OK!! I checked and double checked my Photoshop exports and had several Flash "gurus" check my work. Nobody can figure out what is wrong! Is there a limit to the number of PNG tranparencies allowed on seperate layers in a Flash document?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to build an MXML application with Flash Builder 4.5, and I am integrating an API that requires the root of a display object to be a MovieClip. Personally I think this is bad design but I have to go with it. The root object always seems to end up as the stage, because of course I have to add the object to the stage for it to be added to the display list. Is there some way that I can either change the stage type in an MXML application to a MovieClip or is there some way to force a MovieClip wrapper to become the root of a display object?

View 1 RepliesI have created an animation using illustrator files in AE CS3 and now want to convert this to flash so it will play on my website.The problem I am having (or rather my web designer) is getting the transparency in flash.
1. How should I export out of AE
2. Do I need to bring the video into Flash and export out of there to get the transparency?
3. Can this workflow even be done?
4. What is the best way for me to deliver the files to my web designer?
I have attached a movie file of the look I am going for. The birds were done in AE and I want them to move across my home page.

Overlay blending mode in flash on trasnaprent, imported images, doesn't work properly! It leaves dimmed black background instead of transparency. Same thing is in CS4 and in CS5. What is even more weird is that in Flash preview stage window everything is fine, and it works, but after publishing the SWF, you can see black background.I looked for workaround that...no success. No one answeres to this question.
-I tried with 24png, 8png, gif with different settings. No success.
-Tried also with After Effects, and then export to SWF, it works surprisingly.
In Flash, I have a container with several overlapping children. When I give this container an alpha value of .5, some of the children can be seen behind others that overlap them. I would rather be able to take the whole thing as a composite image and blend it that way.
View 2 RepliesFor a class project I'm working on "Pissed Off Pigs" (I think you get the idea, the pigs get revenge, don't worry, I'm not going to release it!) and I want to create circles with a fill from a bitmap (circles because the collision math is easier). Here is how they look now.
Of course, the white is the problem. Below is my "pigs" class. I've tried gif's, pngs, 8-bit pngs, etc and it seems to make no difference. The image itself is 20px square and the radius of the circle is 10px (so a 20px diameter). Here is the image I'm using:
And I know I should probably load the image outside the class and just pass the BitmapData when I make a new pig so I don't have to load the image every time I create a new pig but for now it works! (Sorta).
Oh, and I have checked bmpImage.transparent and it returns true (even when I don't specify true in the constructor).

My Flash animation is basically similar to this link provided by Adobe Developers.The Flash is about star moving in depth space to makes the star looks alike in 3D.I am going to implement the button to change the color of that object (star).I'm creating 3 new symbols and draw each a rounded-square button filled with red, green and blue respectively.So, I wish to click that button when running, and when I select red button, the star will changing to red color for all.
