View 2 RepliesI have gone through a nightmare trying to apply a gradient/soft mask. I know I will be dreaming it tonight.. Anyways. This is a link of my attempt: [URL] And the problem is FLASH CS3 is bugged to actually work out a simple piece of code:
[Code]...
I want to apply a gradient mask to a movieclip that contains a flv video. I'm aware that i would need to cache the movieclip as a bitmap in order to apply a mask using actionscript, but would that work even if the movieclip itself contains an flv video?
View 1 Repliesin FlashBuilder I want to dynamically generate approximately 1200 rectangles from a CSV file (these are all different colours) which will perform an action on Click.
What is the best way to go about doing this? I've read that the drawing API on Air and Android is not a good idea, and am thinking about using the Spark Rectangle class, but I can't seem to work out how to apply a colour to it if I'm generating them dynamically using AS?
I would like to know how to apply gradient and corner radius in flex. Is css the only way? I mean I want to use more of flex properties to make this happen give a sample class or code for it?
View 1 RepliesNow, i want to display the anim for the particular area. I used the following code, but that is not working. How can I do that?
for (var i:uint = 0; i < noOfBubbles; i++) {
var bubble:Bubble = new Bubble();
bubbles.push(bubble);
[code].....
The following for loop dynamically creates 4 instances of the same button. Each button is then populated with its own textfield.I have given the textfield(s) an instance name of option0, option1,etc, etc. I want to populate the text in each field with something different (Home, Contact, etc, etc). I am trying to call the textField by its created instance name "option0", but I get an error saying it's not recognized.
View 3 Repliesi can create a textfield, show my percentage loaded in it, but when it hits 100%, i want to get rid of the textfield... doing all my stuff in actionscript so moving to the next frame not a possibility. unless i create the textfield in another movie..
View 2 RepliesI want to rotate a dynamically created textfield, i opened "flash help" and took the sample code i found below (i changed the font with "Verdana"). But it seems that the font cant be embed and it dissapears.
Code:
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = "Verdana";
this.createTextField("my_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 160, 120);
[Code]....
here is the code:
// Create new textFormat object-----
var myTF:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myTF.font = "Verdana";
[Code].....
how do I address only the texField named t3 ?
how to address a string from loadvars object to a dynamically created textfiled,
my code looks like this so far -
Code:
_root.din_fmt = new TextFormat();
_root.din_fmt.size = 10;
_root.din_fmt.font = "DIN";

i can create a textfield, show my percentage loaded in it, no problem.but when it hits 100%, i want to get rid of the textfield....doing all my stuff in actionscript so moving to the next frame not a possibility...
View 2 RepliesWe have a for loop creating text fields from arrays.
We have four arrays.
First three arrays create dynamic textfields getting their data values from a xml file.
The last array creates empty input textfields where the user enters the data.
What I'm trying to do is to send the values of these textfields to a PHP file.
The problem here is that I'm not being able to get the updated data of dynamically created input fields,which is the data that the user(visitor) enters.
P.S. : I'm using flash CS4 with action script 2.
i'm creating a completely dynamic form. i want to assign a variable name to a textfield and then pass that variable with a LoadVars() object.
here's a small piece of code i can't get working:
//create movieclip (used like a form)
_root.createEmptyMovieClip( 'dialog_body', 0 );
//create textfield input
[Code].....
bottomline: if i create a textfield using the traditional method and assign the 'var' it works fine. if i create a textfield dynamically at run time, and use the *.variable property, the variable is NOT sent..
Is there any way to apply gradient for a textbox.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if abybody knows how to apply gradient fill using ActionScript (I need to change it when some event accrues). Is it possible at all?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to use actionscript to apply a gradient to a movie clip. I've tried looking up examples but they all seem hideously complicated, with tons of colors and weird angles. Or they inlove using the Draw API to draw a rectangle and then apply it! All I need to do is apply a linear gradient with three colors to a movie clip that's already on the stage? Does anyone know how I would go about this or a tutorial where I could find it? It seems so simple in theory! I've tried using bevel and glow filters but they're not really what I'm looking for.

Is there a way to create a gradient mask in Flash Pro CS5? I am able to get it to work in FPCS4 but apparantly the process was changed or the functionality eliminated in CS5.
View 1 RepliesIn a project, I've got 2 background (one light and one dark). My main background is the dark one and when I move my mouse I wanna show in a small circle with an alpha gradient the light one.
But I don't know how can I do that...
I try and I've got white mask with the light background in my circle or I've just got the dark background and no mask.
If someone already do that and can explain it to me ?
I was trying to set up a gradient mask in cs4 yesterday but I cant seem to figure it out, its not the same code as in cs 3 and I cant seem to find anything online? (URL...)So can anyone please tell me in short how I can do that?Url...
View 1 Repliesso I have the gradient mask set up going on in a external swf called "rates". In the main timeline of the main swf "cwsite" I load "rates" into a empty movie clip entitled "windowloader". Unfortunalty when I preview the whole site, everything loads but the gradient mask isnt working. If I just preview the rates swf, the mask works.This is flash player 9 with AS2. Here is my gradient mask code in the rates swf:
Code:
_mask.cacheAsBitmap = true;
main.cacheAsBitmap = true;
[code]......
why do my gradient color doesn't work as mask?
I thought I can use the gradient color to assign a different opacity level to my mask. isn't correct ?
It just works as a normal mask...
I have created a Sprite that contains 3 movieclips that act as masks for another movieclip. 2 of the moviclips have an alpha gradient but I cannot get the alpha to work. I have the three masks because they are separately animated.Here is my code.
var maskContainer = new Sprite();
maskContainer.addChild(WebPageMaskEndT_mc);
maskContainer.addChild(WebPageMaskEndB_mc);[code]....
NOTE: I have also tried setting cacheAsBitmap for the 3 individual masks but no results.
I have a transparent png bubble in movie clips that are being randomly sized and animation started using code. The design has a reflection and I am using a gradient mask for the effect. The issue is when the bubbles animate they are causing drawing artifacts. Please see the attached screen shot or you can see the swf here - Code: bottomMask.cacheAsBitmap = true;beaker_bottom.cacheAsBitmap = true;beaker_bottom.mask = bottomMask;
View 2 RepliesHas there been an update this weekend thats broke masking I have tried to gradient mask an object both by using a vector mask and a png mask. NONE OF THEM WORK! Last week it woeked - and nooene else here at my job can get it to work either.Gradient masks are just shows by a square. No way of of getting smooth edges (gradients on a masked object anymore).

I have created a sprite gradient box as my background in my flash as3 file (using tweenmax). As i'm trying to make this a full screen swf on the browser window, i set the width and height according to the stage.
My trouble is that when I resize my browser, the gradient box does not resize with it... it only does when i refresh the window with the new width/height.
Is there a way I can put a redraw function in an event handler that will recognize the window resize? If this is hard to understand... can my background become bigger at the same time as the window is being dragged to a new size?

I'm dynamically creating movieclips with dynamically created movieclips inside them and am having trouble with targeting them.Below is a simplified example of what I'm trying to achieve, in the real file there are a lot more movieclips and I'm creating and naming them with a for loop.
This one is just one Sprite created inside another sprite. I can target the top level sprite named "testname". However when i try target the nested MC it throws an error.The bottom couple of traces are just test MCs I've made to make sure i got the syntax right, on targeting nested movieclips.
PHP Code:
var holder:Sprite = new test1();holder.name = "testname";this.addChild(holder);var holder2:Sprite = new test2();holder2.name = "testname2";holder.addChild(holder2);trace(getChildByName("testname").x); //this one traces finetrace(getChildByName("testname").getChildByName("testname2").x);//this throws up an errortrace(testclip1.x);trace(testclip1.testclip2.x);
