Alright so I'm making an animation with Osama Bin Laden. I need a picture of his face so I went to Google and got the picture. Then I went to Paint to crop it out. I went to flash and there's a white box around the picture. How do I get rid of it?
View 1 RepliesMy situation: I've got 7 frames of animated motion that is exactly the way i want it. I want these 7 frames of motion to loop so it gets to around 300 frames. So rather than doing every frame manually (which takes ages) i went to copy and paste motion.
So i highlight my 7 frames and click 'copy motion'. Then I try pasting them and i get the error mesage (in the attached picture) that nothing is selected. But i've clicked on the 8th frame, the place were i want the motion to begin, but still it says this error message.
So then i insert a new frame on the 8th frame space and paste the motion over the top of the 8th frame, but it misses the first 2 frames of animation (therefore messing eveything up) out and the motion is also wrong on top of that!
I want to copy a .swf file I have and paste it into another one, frames and all. I have tried but nothing gets copied over correctly. Either that or my buttons are on a single frame.. and no longer act like a button with the -Over-Up-Down-Hit frames.

I cannot copy or paste using the Windows clipboard.
how I can enable these functions?
There is the Text Clipboard function getContents and setContents as well some other functions I do not seem to be able to figure out. I also know there is a CopyOperation function and a PasteOperation function and I cannot figure these out either.A little example of how to use each function would be nice, if someone will take the time to help me out, Please.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to copy frames from 6 different layers along with the objects (action script, tween motions, buttons, graphic elements) from one movieclip to another. But once I do that, everyhting seems to be shifted and if I try to reposition the items in the new clip, it seems like I would have to repeat after every keyframe for each layer.
So my question is A. Is there a way to duplicate a movie clip but give it a instance name (an entirely new movieclip with the same frames and layers in the same position as the previous)?
B. How can I move mutliple objects across layers and keyframes?

View 0 RepliesI am primarily a designer and a minor programmer. I am pretty new to action script - although I have made numerous buttons and movies in flash. I am re-designing my web site using dreamweaver and I am loading animated flash rollover buttons of my thumnails into dreamweaver. When I view the illustrations page the seven buttons I have plugged in so far show up instantly and work just fine - click on them and they open the page with the illustration, but in Firefox the same page opens with white squares indicating the placing of the rollovers and unless you mouse over them and activate them that is all you see. if you roll over a button and allow the animation to occur you will then see the button and it works etc., but if you navigate back to the page it happens all over again. I have not been able as usual to test it yet in explorer because I don't have a pc - I work on a mac and all my computers are macs. But Safari and Opera work as I had expected.
View 3 RepliesI am having that problem that on my page. My images are traped under some white boxes.

The flash is loaded with SWFObject v1.4.4 with XML 1.0
Here is a part of the index.html:
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("swf/kj.swf", "KJ", "100%", "100%", "8", "#000000");
so.addVariable("xmlPath", "xml/publish.xml");
so.addParam("scale", "noscale");

I have these movie clips you see..url...click on the text behind the white boxes.
1st I can't get the link texts to sit on top of the white boxes when it loads.
2nd, after loading the second or third box you'l begin seeing my swapDepths issues surface. I've tried pretty much every combination of swapDepths solutions.
Here is what I need. When the page loads and the box is small the link text is on top so you can read what you're clicking. When you click the link the section enlarges and I need the section to be on top. Whatd'ya think? Anyone up to a challenge? As a bonus question I can't figure out why the text goes all crazy looking at random... even the stationary text but not the dynamic text.
Is it possible to remove white in a bitmap in ActionScript2? If yes what commands are used and what's the procedure?
View 3 RepliesI was wondering if there was a way to remove the white space from an imported image using ActionScript 3?My ultimate aim is to be able to upload an image through flash (and .net) then load the image into flash and remove the white backgrounds.E.g. if your designing a t-shirt, and want to upload a logo, you would want to get rid of all the white that comes with your image around the edges to just leave the logo on the t-shirt.
View 8 RepliesThere is a white space above the flash file. My file is 360 pix high, but I need the default bar at the bottom. So I set it to be 400. But the extra 40 pix got shared by the bar and an unwanted white space on the top.
If I set it to 360, no space, but no bar either. In either case, there is an extra 2 pix double lines on top. I want to remove the space and double lines.

Does anyone know how to remove the white space which shows up under Firefox when viewing your page with a flash movie and an image next/under it? With IE the flash and any images next to it butt against each other like they're supposed to, but under Firefox the white space shows up. How do you get rid of it?
View 2 RepliesI have a text file that needs to be parsed correctly. The text file looks like this:
[header]
[header 2]
[ header3 ]
I can grab these headers by doing so
var expression:RegExp = /[ [a-z0-9 ]+ ]/igxm;
var items:Array = text.match(expression);
But I would also like to remove the white space from before and after the brackets, so the headers can align against the left edge. Also, for [ header3 ], I would like to remove the white space inside the brackets, before "h" and after "3". What would be the correct regex for something this?
I am trying to remove / replace white space from a string in as3. The string comes from xml and than written into text field. To compare the strings I am trying to remove white spaces
var xmlSentence:String=myXML.SENTENCE[thisSentence];
var tfSentence=e.target.text;
var rex:RegExp = /s+/;
trace(xmlSentence.replace(rex, "-"));
trace(tfSentence.replace(rex, "-"));
That code outputs like this:
She-has a dog
-She has a dog
I also tried different rex patterns. The problem is that though there are spaces in both string -which are same- it finds only one space but not the same one in both strings.
How I can remove whitespace from a string, but only if the white space is the first character?[code]...

When I publish the movie I developed it comes with two white blank sides and i tried to change the Publish settings like Dimensions and Scale and publish the flash movie but the white blank sides did not disappear ?
I want that the flash movie has all the space of the dispaly window so that no white space appears when I view it in normal or maximized or full-screen view modes ?
I'm attempting to load into an array data from an external .csv file. No problem here.
I load into a first array all of the data and split the data at the end of each line ("
").
Then, I place into a new array each line that was split.
The problem is that the last element in this new line comes with an invisible space such that when I do a trace they come out as follows:
AAAA
BBBB
CCCC
instead of
AAAA
BBBB
CCCC
This is a problem because I later on do a switch check for 'AAAA', 'BBBB' or 'CCCC' and I think it doesn't recognize any because of the space.
I'm making a program that draws a grid of boxes and the color of the box must be different to those adjacent to the box. My code compares the current box's color to those to the left and top. If any of them matches, it picks another random number (as the color). For the tiles on the first row/column, I make my grid's array indexes with negative numbers -1 so that it will not match.
What I have:
private function fillArray():void {
grid = new Array();
grid[-1] = new Array(-1,-1,-1,-1,-1); //paddles the grid[-1][0 to 4] with -1
for (var i = 0; i < HEIGHT; i++) {

A web channel streaming service streams to a certain IP range, it only checks the IP in example.com/cmd.php?id=xxx (channel number) and outputs an rtmpe stream URL, nothing else.How do I trick it to get my local URL instead of the one on their server? I have considered squid proxy, but is there some way to do it with a firefox plugin or greasemonkey script?
Edit:I will try to specify:It's a streaming service from an ISP and cable provider. They stream for free to people on their IP's. On their webtv page, which is called webtv.example.com, there is a flash player. If you are not on an IP from their ISP, you can't stream anything but the test channel.When you try to change channel via. javescript:videoplayer_changechannel(xxx) it makes this HTTP request:
[URL]
If you are on one of their IP's you will get an RTMP URL, like this:
[URL]
This is what the flash player requests, and if it get's this response it load the channel requested. There is no HTML on the php page, just the URL. Note that the rtmp URL is static.If you are not on one of their IP's it will return a random sentence (something stupid, the programmers having fun).I wan't to trick the flash player into getting the right value, even though it's not on one of the ISP's IP's.

View 0 RepliesI'd like to be able to click on each of the buttons and have the background color change and also have its color name loaded in the dynamic text field. E.g.

i am happy with it and now want to repeat it with all the other images in the slideshowhe problem is, when i copy the keyframes (with a tween) on the first image that animated and try and paste them onto the 2nd image in my series, it actualy charges the image as well ! So that the second image becomes the firts image on the keyframes.Is there a way just to copy the opacity and motion animation ONLY ? My guess is there must be because to animate each picture by hand with a custom ease in & out curve would take forvever
View 1 RepliesI like to keep my timelines compact, so I often have several graphics in a single layer. Let's imagine that I have a series of five keyframes, with four shapes in each one. Over the course of those five keyframes, one of the four shapes changes into a different shape. Now, let's say that I realize that one of the static shapes needs to be something different. "Oh no! That circle shoudl be a triangle instead!".
I know how to use Edit Multiple Frames to drag a box around that shape and delete it across those keyframes, but there are a few problems with that.One is that if the keyframes are really long or I have more like 30 or 40 keyframes in which I want to make this change, I have to drag and scroll and drag and scroll the shaded part of the playhead to cover all the of the keyframes or be willing to do it in chunks. Also, if the thing I want to delete is sitting on top of something else,then I can't drag a box around it without selecting that other thing. I could click the object and delete it, but that only deletes it from the right-most keyframe. I then have to click and delete for every keyframe.
All of this is secondary to the fact that Edit Multiple Frames doesn't seem to allow you to paste something into all of those frames. At least, not any way I can tell. I suppose this is a sade-effect of not assigning every asset its own layer, but that would get almost unmanageable with some of the projects I work on.if there's a way to paste things into multiple/successive keyframes on the same layer?
I work in a team of four to five Flash developers, making banner ads in CS5 on Macs. We all experience bugginess when pasting objects from one file to another. It's especially likely to happen when pasting an object onto the stage. What usually happens is: after pasting, you lose the ability to position things on the stage. Other weird things sometimes happen, such as registration points shifting in unrelated clips, or the whole Flash app crashing.This also happens when pasting in frames, or -- less often -- when pasting between libraries.We had one project with 47 ad units. When a change was needed across all units, we had to quit and re-launch Flash 47 times to paste in the revised movie clip and integrate it into the layout
