If it wasnt animated I could edit the back ground in photo shop, but I dont seem to be able to with the animated file. Is there anyway I can just have my dancing fruit with out the stage?
View 3 RepliesI would like to take a straight line/rectangle that is already created on stage and tween it with as3 so that when mouse is down, i can drag and bend it into an ark shape, and when i release the shape snaps back to its originally form?
View 2 RepliesI would like to have an invisible drop target so I can dropand item and have it go to another part of the training. However,if I create a rectangle as a sprite and don't fill it in, itdoesn't recognize it as an area apparently because nothing happenswithout a fill color. I tried just a regular rectangle, shape, etc.
View 5 RepliesI have a class called shapeC that only creates a rectangle and then addChild(rectangle);. That class is instantiated on the main timeline. Currently, the only way you can see that rectangle is to add the instantiated class to the stage via addChild(shapeC);. My question is, is there a way that the shapeC class can add the rectangle to the root stage without requireing the instantiated class to be added to the stage?
View 4 RepliesMy items no longer sit on top of the gray area outside the stage. When I try to move an item off the stage it goes under and I cant see it.I am using cs 5.5. I think I must have changed an option somewhere, becuase if I open up a new document everything is fine.
View 1 RepliesWhat is happening is, when I convert any object to any type of symbol, it disappears on my stage. It tests fine, but the symbol is invisible. This makes it difficult for me to see the overall design. Last time there was a folder that was just filled with about 10k blank files somewhere in the preferences for flash, but I can't seem to find it to delete those random files/ that folder. I'm on a Mac, and uninstalling/reinstalling flash does not work.
View 14 RepliesIs there a cross-browser solution to making a flash players background invisible? I have a swf movie that I want to sit on a faintly stripped background. I could place the same background in the Flash movie and sit it with CSS - using hacks for i.e. to make the backgrounds match up, but wondered whether there was a simple way of turning the background off?

View 3 RepliesI am using Flash Professional CS4. I made 2 buttons (2 rectangles,each turned into a symbol of type button). I now want when I click 1 button that the second becomes invisible. Is there a way to do so?
View 2 RepliesAfter a few years of using Flash I am creating my first project in AS3 and am running into some problems which are quite common involving targeting movieclips and controlling them. Basically I have a fla which has an MC on the timeline with an instance name of INFO_MC. Now i want this MC to be invisible when the swf starts and I have managed this by using the following code: Actionscript Code: INFO_MC.visible = false;
This is fine. However I get stuck when I try to make INFO_MC visible when I click a button in a loaded swf. How would I target INFO_MC from a button inside a loaded swf. Do I need to add an event to the button and then have a listener on the root timeline which would turn INFO_MC visible when it hears that the button has been clicked?
I'm sure this is something easy that I'm missing, but I can't figure it out. How do I make a button invisible? I need it to be invisible through frame 43 of my movie. I have tried changing the alpha to 0, but it's not letting me change that, except in the edit button mode which changes it for the entire duration and not just through frame 43.

View 9 Repliesi have three layers on frame 1 of a swf.in all the three layers i have a different movie clips. my question is that is it possible to show only one movie clip when the swf loads initially ..? i mean when the swf loads initially , i need to hide tow movie clips and show only one..?
View 4 RepliesI want to make 5 out of 10 movieclips invisible.
I know this works for each movie :
item1._visible = false;
item2._visible = false;
etc
But whats the correct syntax to do it in the loop. This seems to clear all 10 movieclips.
Code:
for (var y = 0; y<5; y++) {
["item"+(y)]_visible = false;
}
I'm running my head against a wall here and I'm not sure how to tackle this problem. Background I'm making some sort of movie player with subtitles overlayed on it. I'm using the root timeline for my movie timeline because this greatly increases development speed. The subtitles are created with the texttool, and I make them dynamic textboxes because I need to reference them in AS3. I cannot wrap them into a movieclip because they need to be in sync with the root timeline
The user should be able to enable or disable (effectively showing or hiding) the subtitles. The way I did this is by adding an event listener that listens to Event.Enter_Frame on the root timeline and a global boolean to indicate whether subs should be shown. In the enter frame event listener I search for the textfield by root.getChildByName (the name is the same each time) and show or hide the textfield accordingly.

Right there in the site. The problem I am having is that if I have this liveTEXT on say frame 100, and I go to frame 101, the text is still their overlayed over the content of that page. The text is called with this actionscript in frame 1:

View 2 RepliesI'm learning ActionScript 3.0 and I made a small app to draw rectangles on stage. Now I want to drag&drop them around. I want to be able to click on an object, without triggering the stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickEvent); but when I click on an object, it also triggers that event. How can I save the click on object from triggering that event on stage?
Here's the code:

public class main extends Sprite {
var startX, startY, endX, endY: Number;

Flash CS4 had been working regularly on my Macbook Pro (Intel - Tiger) for a while, and then suddenly,I opened a file and all the movie clips went from being visible "stills" to invisible and represented only by an "o". I have tried settings, preferences, even uninstall/reinstall, but somehow my settings or something got messed up and I can't view movie clips on the stage.
I have tried a variety of different .fla files and none allow movie clips to be visible on the stage.The files were created in CS4.This is true for movie clips that have 1 frame to many frames.When I Publish or Test Movie, the clip is visible and normal, but it is impossible to edit the file without being able to see the movie clips.I know that the issue is with my installation of Flash/settings being messed up, not with the file(s) because when opened on other computers (CS4 and CS5), movie clips are visible on the stage, as they should be.Example below: In Flash CS4, the stage just has "o"s where I used to be able to see my movie clip, but in the Test Movie, everything is there. To be clear, I could see the movie clips in this exact file, and then the next time I opened it I could no longer see them.
when i set embedFonts to true, the textfield cant be seen on stage. but when i set it to false, it appears on stage. whats going on?
Code:

newTextField.alpha = 0.5;
newTextField.embedFonts = true;
addChild(newTextField);

How can I make the Scrollbar on my datagrid invisible?

Also how do I scroll to a specific Index on my datagrid?
I have a map of states state when a particular state is clicked on, the fla centers on and zooms to that state. When you click on a state a unique ID is pulled from an xml. Using this ID, I can then call all the counties that are part of this state through the county's xml which is also loaded on my stage.or example if I click on Arizona, it zooms and I get a trace of all the instance names of the counties within Arizona.
//call all instance names of Arizona counties
cldcnfips=(cntXml.Records.Record.(STATE_FIPS==cldstfips).afips.children());
trace(cldcnfips);

View 1 RepliesI am trying to write a program in which 2 random pictures appear on the screen, and when you click on a specific one of the 2, the other disappears for 250 ms, and then the whole thing starts over with 2 new random pics. I have everything working the way I want EXCEPT for the vanishish-for-250-ms part.Specifically, the program is supposed to display 1 picture from 1 group and 1 from a 2nd group, and when you click on the pic from group 1, the group 2 pic is supposed to vanish for 250 ms. Each group has 16 pictures, so the code as it stands now basically randomly picks whether the group 1 pic will appear in movie clip #1 or #2 (faces1_mov and faces2_mov), randomly pics a group 1 pic, displays it in the movieclip it randomly chose, and then puts a random group 2 pic in the remaining movieclip, so the program has to know which clip has the group 2 pic in it and make it disappear when the other clip is clicked.Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.utils.Timer;
