Apply Text Filter Dynamically
How can I add a glow filter to a textfield via actionscript? I know the procedure for doing the same thing with a movieclip, but the TextField class (and TextFormat) don't seem to accept filters as a property?What I have so far:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.filters.*;var text_glow:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0xFF0000, 80, 10, 10, 100, 3, false, false);var some_txt:TextField;//Want to apply filter to text field

Bitmapdata, Apply Filter To One Channel? Realease A Filter
Hi there, I have two question:
Is it possible to apply a filter only to one channel or to access only one channel?
I've found somewhere:
Display.BitmapData.Channel.ALPHA
Is it something we can access at runtime?
When I appply a filter to a Bitmapdata, the Bitmapdata isn't really modified but just filtered, so if for example I copy one of its channel to another bitmapdata, I copy the source bitmap without the filter...
What I'd like to do is "release" the filter so it definetely modify the image. Is it a function to do so or can I only perform this by doing a screenshot of my MovieClip?
Thank you inadvance for your help.
[F8] Apply Filter To Mc Drawn With Api
Obvioulsy I'm blind.... WHY is't this code working...??!!!!!
Code:
import flash.filters.GlowFilter;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_line",1);
with ("mc_line"){
lineStyle(20, 0xd1bca3,100);
_root.moveTo(0, 160);
_root.lineTo(Stage.width, 160);
// glow on the line
var glow:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0x003a68, 0.5, 0, 10, 5, 10,true);
var myTempFilters:Array = mc_line.filters;
myTempFilters.push(glow);
mc_line.filters = myTempFilters;
}
I've tried the glow-on-the-line part inside and outside the with statement.
The glow-on-the-line part works fine if I put an instance of a movie clip on the stage but not as above...
Why?!
I'd be greatful for a hint in the right direction...
Apply Filter @ Runtime
hi everybody.
I've got 4 dynamic TextFields inside a MovieClip.
on onRollOver I want to apply a DropShadowFilter to this MovieClip, and on onRollOut I want to remove the DropShadowFilter.
pretty simple task, I hope
..how do I do it?
here's my onRollOver and onRollOut-code:
ActionScript Code:
allContainer_mc.textHolder10.onRollOver = function(){
trace("onRollOver");
}
//
allContainer_mc.textHolder10.onRollOut = function(){
trace("onRollOut");
}
thanks
Apply Website Transition Filter?
Hey I'm new to AS , so I was wondering how would I go at attempting this?
On the website I'm building , I currently have it so when you click a link, it removes the current page and animates a new one, really simple, but how would I apply a filter transition? I downloaded a blur filter and installed it to flash cs3, so instead of just removing a page and motion tweening the new one, i would like to just do a motion blur tween between the current page, and the page clicked, how would I do that? This is my current code.
Should I upload the .fla file?
(EDIT) why wont it let me upload my code in CODE brackets? it gives me this error:
You have included 5 images in your message. You are limited to using 4 images so please go back and correct the problem and then continue again.
Change Color Then Apply Filter?
I have a simple circle movie clip in my library. The circle is green. I would like, at runtime, to change its color to blue, red, whatever. Then I want to apply a bevel filter to it.
The problem is that after I apply the color, the filter is ignored.
//First change color
var changeColor = new Color(mcCircle);
changeColor.setRGB(bitOnColor);
//Then apply filter
var innerBevel:BevelFilter = new flash.filters.BevelFilter();
var myFilters:Array = mcCircle.filters;
myFilters.push(innerBevel);
mcCircle.filters = myFilters;
Clearly I'm missing the point here. Anyone know the right way to do this? Thanks very much.

Unable To Apply Blur Filter
The code below fades three mc instances into each other. The movieclip instances are called, picture1_mc, picture2_mc,picture3_mc. They are based on three bitmap images that also sit in the library. I manually converted the original bitmaps into movieclips on the stage area. The fade code works fine, but what I would like to do is allow the user to
mouse click and cause a blur effect whilst the images are cycling along. My problem is that Im not sure how to apply this within my mousedown function. The applyFilter method seems to call for bitmaps but I'm dealing with movieclips. Thanks for any guidance

[AS3.0] Apply Filter To TextField Programmatically
Hi there!
I tried this using
Code:
textField.filters = [new GlowFilter()]
or just like in Flash8 passing the .filters array ref to another array and pushing filter to that array [was it?], but none of these steps worked.
Applying filter to Sprite, within which the TextField (_title) is contained:
Code:
var tit:Sprite = new Sprite();
tit.addChild(_title);
tit.filters = [new GlowFilter(0xFFFFFF,1,5,5,2,2)]
addChild(tit);
worked, however this method (using extra sprite for a textfield) is just too dirty, let alone we want to apply filters to multiple textfields..
Anyone knows how to apply filter directly to TextField instance in AS3.0?
Thanks!
Apply Filter To Just One Bitmap Data, No The Others?
Greetings,
I was following lee's tutorial on how to create advanced effects on bitmap data (like using the blur filter). I am not used to working with bitmap data and don't find it's creation and structure intuitive. Something I am not understanding is how to just blur a single clip and build the draw loop so that only that clips bitmap data gets drawn and blurred while other clips stay untouched. Any object I put onto the main timeline ends up bluring. I tried creative a sprite that contained the clip and then targeted that sprite, but still, any clip, or any object on the stage was blured and redrawn. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Code:
import caurina.transitions.*;
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(550, 400, true, 0x000000);
var bm:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bmd);
var s:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(s);
s.addChild(bm);
var bf:BlurFilter = new BlurFilter(8, 8, 3);
var cmf: ColorMatrixFilter = new ColorMatrixFilter([1,0,0,0,0,
0,1,0,0,0,
0,0,1,0,0,
0,0,0,1,0]);
var logo:Logo = new Logo();
s.addChild(logo);
logo.scaleX = logo.scaleY = .14;
function mover(){
var myY:Number = Math.random()*stage.stageHeight;
var myTrans:String
myY <= logo.y ? myTrans = "easeOutExpo" : myTrans = "easeOutBounce";
Tweener.addTween(logo,{x:Math.random()*stage.stageWidth,
y:myY, time: 1,
rotation:Math.random()*300, onComplete:mover,
transition:myTrans});
}
mover();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop);

How To Apply Blur Filter On Image In Different Layer?
I have one load which loads image randomly from external folder.
and another layer which has 5 columns. I wish to do a mouse over thing and one of the column will become blur.
I tried to use the blur filter, but can't seem to get it work on image that loads randomly from external folder.
this is the action script code I used for loading external images:
Quote: pic_arr = ["images/1", "images/2", "images/3", "images/4", "images/5"];
onLoad = function() {
ranNum = Math.floor(Math.random()*pic_arr.length);
holder_mc.loadMovie(pic_arr[ranNum]+".jpg");
};
any help?

Apply Glow Filter On Target MC While Dragging An Object And Rolling Over The Target
I can get my filter to apply to a movie clip if i simply rollover or roll out of it. When the mouse rolls out, the filter is set to undefined. The problem I am having is that I want the object that is in effect the hit area to glow (have a filter applied) when the draggable object is being dragged over it.
This would make is easier for the user to visually identify that where they are currently hovering over, whilst dragging, is the area that they should drop the object.
Part of my code looks like this
Code:
this.onRollOver = function () {
if(_global.isDragging == 1){
this.filters = glowFilterArray;
}
}
this.onRollOut = function () {
_global.isDragging = 0;
this.filters = undefined;
}
_global.isDragging is set to 1 at the onPress stage, when startDrag occurs.
_global.isDraggin is set to 0 onRelease of the draggable object.
Are there any ideas for a solution?
Dynamically Apply A Textformat?
Does anyone know how to dynamically apply a textformat to some dynamically generated text? I have been struggling with this for far too long...
Something in the line of
eval("headline" + i + ".setTextFormat(myformat)");
although this doesn't work! Neither does
eval("headline2.setTextFormat(myformat)");
but
eval(headline.setTextFormat(myformat));
does work, although it's not dynamic. Argh!
Any help would be very much appeciated!

[F8] Apply Dropshadow To Dynamically Created Mc?
I'm trying to add a dropshadow filter to a dynamiaclly created movieclip, without success. I have a thumbnail which, when clicked, simply creates a new movieclip and loads a larger version of the image in the centre of the movie, which the user can then click to remove it. All this works fine, except I can't get the shadow to work! Here is the code on my thumbnail:
Code:

Adding A Filter Dynamically
Greeting. this is likely a retarded question, but it also looks like the right forum to post it in so thats alright. I am trying to set optionEnable and optionDisable variables for some movieclips that are submenu buttons. so i made
var optionDisable:GlowFilter = new flash.filters.GlowFilter(color:#FFFFFF, null, blurX:7, blurY:7, strength:50, quality:3, false, false);
var optionEnable:GlowFilter = new flash.filters.GlowFilter(color:#FFCC00, null, blurX:7, blurY:7, strength:146, quality:3, false, false);
and then tried to manually activate them with
this.updatesButton.GlowFilter(optionEnable);
this.showreelButton.GlowFilter (optionDisable);
can someone enlighten me on how to remedy my bogus ways?
How Do I Dynamically Apply The Same OnPress() Function To Several Movieclips?
Simply, when you click on a movieclip, it fades up a la
Code:
var revealTween:Tween = new Tween(mcHighlight, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 75, 12, false);
I'm trying to write a template as this is an oft repeated type of interactivity where I just need to set a variable for the number of movieclips rather than define an onPress function for each one.
I have a for-loop which I've used for the reveal and reset button...
Code:
for (var i:Number = 1; i <= numOfHighlights; i++)
... but I'm not sure how to get this to tell each individual movieclip to run that tween itself alone when clicked. I presume I can do it this way, or is there another way?

Apply Tween Classes To Dynamically Loaded Images
I am creating a picture slide show with dynamically loaded pictures. I have the various tweens set up to fire randomly, and to apply their 'special effects' to the loaded picture. I have searched for the answer to this, but have not found anything that worked here.
My question is: How can I get the code to run through all the pictures, one at a time, and apply a random tween to each one? As it is right now, all of the pictures are loaded on top of each other, which is not what I need for this to do. Here is the code: ....
[F8]AS2.0 Dynamically Load Jpg Into MovieClip And Apply Class Instance
I'm working on a photo-sharing demo using AS2.0, and I have a question that I would very much appreciate help with. I would like to dynamically load photos (stored as jpgs in the .fla's local directory) into MovieClips, and apply a class instance to them. Currently, for debugging, I've imported jpgs to the Stage, converted them to MovieClips, and then accessed their linkage properties, setting them to the class I need them to implement. But for the final application all of this will have to be done with code.
I know how to dynamically load the jpg into a MovieClip using loadImage(), and I know how to create a MovieClip that is an instance of a class by using attachMovie() with a library symbol and the class name. How do I combine the two? Is there a way to access the linkage properties of a MovieClip dynamically?
Thanks!
Applying Filter To Dynamically Loaded Image
I have a tool that dynamically loads a jpg image and then applies a filter to it.
If the image is on the same domain all works perfect.
If the image is on a different domain, The image loads fine, but applying the effect does not work.
I've traced everything down to this statement.
img.filters = [myFilter];
if img is a jpg loaded crossdomain applying the filter doesn't work.
I have allowdomain and loadpolicyfile statements in the app and they are working correctly.
I expect this is one of those bright flash security measures like trying to use bitmapdraw crossdomain, but hope there is a work around. I've invested too much time in this tool for some silly security problem.
Thanks,

Apply Typed Text To A Dynamic Text Field Without Selecting It
I'm trying to make a Dos like flash application, although I'm finding the problem where the cursor in DOS is different the the vertical one in regular text fields like on internet browsers. My attempt was to have an invisible movie clip that said...
onClipEvent (enterframe) {
if (Key.isDown(97)) {
_root.dos = _root.dos + "a"; }
if (Key.isDown(98)) {

and etc. But this isn't working, I always get capitcal characters. Is there a more appropriate way to confront this problem? If anyone knows how, please help me :)

Here are the source files. The question is not so much a question as it is a problem, and the problem is...I cannot get my externally loaded CSS to apply to my text field. Now this isn't a normal text field because I know how to do the simple way. This text field is a item inside of a Movie Clip. And the movie clip has its own class (homePanel.as .:INCLUDED IN THE ZIP FILE:.) and the style sheet is applied via my_mc.setStyle(); look at the method please and tell me what I am doing wrong.

Apply A Stroke To Dynamic Text?
Go to the niketeam web site, select test drive, select a jersey style then click through "next step" six times, you should be at the page to apply an outline to the text on the jersey. If you go back one page you can select the font, if you go back two pages you can type in your team name.
With some help here I figured out the text on an arch and arc. I have no clue how they are stroking the text that appears to be dynamic, since you can go back and change your team name and the stroke around the text remains!
Any ideas?
Thanks
Apply Text Formats To Strings?
Let's say I have a textfield I'm loading a lot of information into, and I would like to apply formats to certain sections or words in the textfield. Is there a way to apply text formats to only PORTIONS of a textfield?
Apply External Css To Extenal Text
I found this that loads on external css file:
code:
//Create a new style sheet object
var myCSS = new TextField.StyleSheet();
//Specify the location of the CSS file that you created earlier
var cssURL = "example.css";
//Hard code some HTML text to display (for example purposes)
exampleText = "<p class='headline'>Tutorial Takes Forever To Write</p>";
exampleText += "<p><span class='byline'>Bath, UK</span>";
exampleText += "--Flash developer NWebb seemed to take ";
exampleText += "forever to finish his CSS-Flash tutorial, ";
exampleText += "but it is finished now and you can find it ";
exampleText += "<a href='http://www.nwebb.co.uk'>here</a> ";
exampleText += "along with a few others.</p>";
//Load CSS file
myCSS.load(cssURL);
//define onLoad handler
myCSS.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
/* If the style sheet loaded without error,
assign it to the text object, and assign the HTML text to the
text field*/
myText.styleSheet = myCSS;
myText.text = exampleText;
}
};
And i use this to load some external text:
code:
loadVariables("content/pages/page.lang.php?page=home&type=FLA&lang="+_root.lang , this);
with the external text I just created a 'dynamic' text box and set the 'Var:' the the properties box to '_root.Vhome1'.
'Vhome1' is the variable that the php script prints.
what I need to do is aply the css to the externaly loaded text.
I tried this:
code:
//Create a new style sheet object
var myCSS = new TextField.StyleSheet();
//Specify the location of the CSS file that you created earlier
var cssURL = "example.css";
loadVariables("page.lang.php?page=home&type=FLA&la ng="+_root.lang, this);
exampleText = _rootVhome1;
//Load CSS file
myCSS.load(cssURL);
//define onLoad handler
myCSS.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
/* If the style sheet loaded without error,
assign it to the text object, and assign the HTML text to the
text field*/
myText.styleSheet = myCSS;
myText.text = exampleText;
}
};
But it didn't work.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Apply Different Styles To Text From Database
Hi I have the folowing code which takes data from a mysql database and displays in a flash movie
Code:
// split variables into array
names = names.split("|");
messages = messages.split("|");
numbers = numbers.split("|");
fontnumber = fontnumber.split("|");
var max = 10;
var hspace = 96;
var vspace = 41;
var totalWidth = hspace*(names.length/max);
var totalHeight = vspace*max
for (i=0; i<(names.length-1); i++) {
var y = i%max;
var x = (i-y)/max;
var clip = _root.zoomBox.container.theWall.itemInstance.duplicateMovieClip("itemInstance"+i, i);
clip._x+=x*hspace;
clip._y+=y*vspace;
// set variables
clip.nameinput = names[i];
clip.messageinput = messages[i];
clip.number = numbers[i];
}
this works fine but I now want to be able have a choice of fonts applied to different blocks. This would be defined in the databse as a number 1 - 5.
I have the php sode working fine but I cant seem to get flash to apply the font styles to the dynamically made movieclips.
this is what I have tried but is not working... I have embedded the fonts in the movie.
Code:
// font declarations
var fontStyle1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
fontStyle1.font = "arial";
fontStyle1.size = 24;
fontStyle1.bold = true;
fontStyle1.color = 0x11ff13;
//----
var fontStyle2:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
fontStyle2.font = "times";
fontStyle2.size = 16;
fontStyle2.bold = true;
//----
var fontStyle3:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
fontStyle3.font = "gill_sans";
fontStyle3.size = 15;
fontStyle3.bold = true;
// split variables into array
names = names.split("|");
messages = messages.split("|");
numbers = numbers.split("|");
fontnumber = fontnumber.split("|");
var max = 10;
var hspace = 96;
var vspace = 41;
var totalWidth = hspace*(names.length/max);
var totalHeight = vspace*max
for (i=0; i<(names.length-1); i++) {
var y = i%max;
var x = (i-y)/max;
var clip = _root.theWall.itemInstance.duplicateMovieClip("itemInstance"+i, i);
clip._x+=x*hspace;
clip._y+=y*vspace;
// set variables
clip.nameinput = names[i];
clip.messageinput = messages[i];
clip.number =numbers[i];
_root.theWall["itemInstance"+i].messageinput.setTextFormat(_root.fontStyle1);
_root.theWall["itemInstance"+i].messageinput.embedFonts = true;
}
anyone be able to help?

Apply AS To Existing Dynamic Text Box
I want to import an external text file into a dynamic text box to preview as a block of text that can be formatted in Flash.
I have AS to create a text field, and import the external file (see AC below). This works beautifully.
I also have AS that allows me to apply formatting to text (see AC below).
I am having trouble doing both (importing AND formatting the same text; see my attempt below).
I would be happy to create a dynamic text field in Flash, applying text properties to that, and import the text into this field, but am having trouble figuring out how to reference an EXISTING text field in my AS.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

How To Apply CSS To XML Text Links [renamed]
I want a xml text loaded in a normal textfield.
I want to embedd the font to the textfield (so not in the xml file)
I also want to add links to the xml text and change the look of the link with css.
I know i want a lot, but is this possible or does somebody have a tutorial for this or a better sulotion.
I just want a text file with links in it in Flash and want it to be possible to change it outside of flash so in a XML or text or html file i dont care.
As long as i can make links in the text file without the ugly link stripe under the text (so it should be changable with CSS)
Can You Apply Transitions To Dynamic Text?
I have a scene that contains one dynamic text field, which calls text from a text file. It's working fine.
I'd like to apply a transition so that the text wipes in, but as soon as I apply a transition, no text is displayed when I test the scene.
Have I missed a trick?
Thanks :-)

How To Apply Dynamic Text, In This Case?..
Last edited by arn : 2005-07-14 at 08:42.
hello everybody!
I've made a movieclip containing a dynamic textfield with "Var" called:
varTexte2
and one Action layer containing this actionscript:
varTexte = "Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum just test text.";
this.i = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var _l1 = this;
_l1.i = _l1.i+4;
if (_l1.i<=varTexte.length/3) {
varTexte2 = new String(varTexte.substr(0, _l1.i)+chr(random(80)+21)+chr(random(80)+21)+chr(random(80)+21)+chr(random(80)+21)+" "+varTexte.substring(varTexte.length/3, varTexte.length-2*varTexte.length/3+_l1.i)+chr(random(150)+21)+chr(random(98)+21)+chr(random(150)+21)+chr(random(98)+21)+" "+varTexte.substring(2*(varTexte.length/3), varTexte.length-varTexte.length/3+_l1.i)+chr(random(150)+21)+chr(random(98)+21)+chr(random(150)+21)+chr(random(98)+21));
} else {
varTexte2 = varTexte;
// end if
_l1.onEnterFrame = null;
}
// end if
};
How can I get the same text effect while loading the text from an external .txt file?
Thanks for you efforts!
Best,

Apply Font Styles To Text Field
Hi all,
I have nothing but themost basic noob knowledge of Flash and actionscript, so I would really appreciate some help!
I created a Flash with a text field that pareses and RSS feed. Just copied the AS from here:
http://www.yourminis.com/developers/...s/as3/rss.aspx
Fair enough, easy, copy&paste and it works.
Now I want to style this text field: font colorm link color, header color, background color etc. With CSS/HTML this would take me 10 secs.
I have literally spent 6 hours reading documentation, tutorials, trial and arror. Nothing works. Is it THAT difficult to style text inside an element with AS???
Any help would be much appreciated. Maybe an example I can paste into the code referenced above so I can see how this would work, as anything else I read just never did!
Thanks for the help!
