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 RepliesI 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 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:

Has 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).

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 ?
so 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;

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 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 RepliesI 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?

I'm trying to create spinning rays in actionscript to use in my website.Below is the rough idea of what i'm trying to create.Is it possible to create absolutely with 0 images.Following is the actionscript code in which i couldn't figure out how to add gradient, transperant background and little radial gradient to create glow effect.
Code:
function CreateRays():Shape {
var ray:Shape = new Shape();
ray.graphics.beginFill(0xFF9900,.5);
ray.graphics.lineStyle(1,0xFF9900,.5);

If you paste above code in 1st frame of your scene with nothing on your scene, it will give you sweet rotating rays!
I have started the vhost setup. I have cpanel on the server and I added the domain and it resolves to
the hosting account just fine pull up www.domain.com and goes to server.
I added the www.domain.com vhost. I pointed the application dir to /home/domain/public_html/applications/
I copied live over to applications dir. I setup user and pass for the virtual host login.
what i am doing is to make something along the lines of the "scriptable mask" tutorial Inigo was kind enough to put up.My idea is to have a large mask behind the whole of my flash site, this masks a colour image with a black & white one (nothing tricky). The image I am using is actually 5 separate images combined, and each is a pic of certain parts of the site.I also have a very basic set of buttons along the bottom... each corresponding to each section.
All I want is to set it up so that when I mouse over the buttons, the _x of the mask moves to correspond with the correct image... really very basic... or so I thought .If anything it should be easier to do than what is in Inigo's tut (where he uses the _x of the mouse to move the mask)... i just cant seem to get it to work with a nice easing effect (its easy to get the mask to simply snap to each coordinate, but I need it to smoothly move).
What do i write in the index.html file for a flash site so that the background is a gradient fill?
I know this code changes the bg to a solid colour:
<body bgcolor="#1b1b1b"> but what do I need to make a gradient like this site:[URL]..
I have some problem with gradient fill in Flash Pro CS5 For example I want to fill some rectangle with reflected gradient. When I click on one of the buttons in ColorMixer Panel (Extend, Reflect, or Repeat) nothing is changed - Reflect and Repeat options seems to doesn't work.

View 1 RepliesI want the gradient to horizontally stretch across a fluid width stage.Simple question:When the window re-sizes (I have an event listener setup for stage re-size), should I clear and redraw the gradient to fit the width of the stage, or is it ok to just horizontally re-size the gradient sprite?If/when scaling, I assume there will not be any degradation of gradient quality due to the nature of Flash graphics (vectors)
View 12 RepliesI have a startDrag function set up on a loader and mask that when the mouse is down on the loader it drags, when not it doesn't. There is also 2 buttons that control whether mask1 or mask2 is used. What i would like however is when the mouse is down - the area of the loader outside of the mask is visible but only by about 10/20% alpha, that way the user can see where all the image is while dragging. Is this possible? Full code can be seen below and i have attached the zip with the .fla file:

Apparently, there is a way to have one library, update a symbol in that library, and have the one update be reflected in 10 different documents that share that library. However, I cannot find any (coherent) documentation on how to do that.

I'm working on my first Flash project, and for my preloader I'd like to do a really simple gradient based on the percentage loaded. The preloader says "77% loaded...", where the number 77 is a dynamic text instance called percentLoaded. I'd like the textColor of percentLoaded to change on a gradient from #000000 to #FFFFFF, in gray-scale.Therefore, I can't simply do:percentLoaded.textColor=(currentValue/100)*0xFFFFFF;This just converts the textColor to a multiple of FFFFFF, but outputs a color since it's not three separate components. Currently, here's what I've got:
