Flash :: Dynamic Mask / Layers?

Problems With Mask Layers
Say I'm trying to do something trite and overused like the ever popular "spotlight effect". You know, everything is dark, except for a spot of "light" generated with a mask layer. Is it possible to have the light follow the cursor, or be controled by the program in any (non-deterministic) way? It seems like this should be very possible, but every way I've tried for moving the "light" mask (a simple circle) has failed, except for tweening. And tweening isn't very useful if I want to be able to move the light on the fly.

As far as I can tell, any movie clip inside a mask layer seems to a) immedietly stop, and refuse to play or animate itself. b) not respond to having it's properties set, including the _x and _y position properties. c) ignore any methods I call on it. (Such as startDrag, etc)

Am I doing this right? I can't seem to find a good way to do this, but I can't believe that the macromedia people wouldn't let us do something as basic as this. (And I thought that for SURE I'd seen a "spotlight cursor" somewhere before...)

So... is there a workaround? Am I just ommiting something stupid? Or is this really going to be a roadblock?

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

thx

Mutiple Mask Layers
Hi -
If anyone would have time to answer a question I would be most thankful. I am trying to create an effect with mask layers - I have lots of little movie clips with random movement scripted to them - I want them to act as a mask for an image - however I have found that only one movie clip on the layer acts as the mask - even if i put all of the shapes in one movie clip and then try and use it for the mask it doesn't work, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,

Scripts With Mask Layers
Hi, I use Flash 5 at the moment and am thinking of going to Flash MX 2004. In flash 5, i've set up a mast layer with a movie clip as my 'spotlight', I added a simple script to drag it with the mouse but the script won't run! Is there a bug in my Flash or do I have to use Flash MX 2004 for draggable mask layers? thanks for reading ^_^

Growing Mask Layers...
i'm making a little movie that i would like to start out with a black screen with a pin hole in it that grows to reveal the whole page. i have flash 8 so drawing objects don't bite out of eachother the way they did in MX. i also don't want to make a mask layer that the black part has to grow to be thousands of pixels wide and tall to make the pin hole big enough to see the whole screen...

any suggestions?

Mask Layers In Movie Clips
Hello.

I have a simple mask layer animation in a movie clip--the mask moves to reveal some text, typewriter style. When I drag the clip onto the stage, it does nothing. It doesn't show up at all when I test the movie.

I have a play action on the first frame of the clip and a stop action on the last frame.

Why won't it work?

thanks.

[F8] Preserving Mask Layers With MovieClipLoader
I have one Flash file, masked.fla. Quite simply, it's a red square, partially covered by a blue square. The blue square is set as a mask to the red square below, so only a portion of the red square is visible.

Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("square_mc", 1);
square_mc._x = 10;
square_mc._y = 10;
square_mc.beginFill(0xFF0000);
square_mc.moveTo(0, 0);
square_mc.lineTo(100, 0);
square_mc.lineTo(100, 100);
square_mc.lineTo(0, 100);
square_mc.lineTo(0, 0);
square_mc.endFill();

this.createEmptyMovieClip("mask_mc", 2);
mask_mc._x = 60;
mask_mc._y = 60;
mask_mc.beginFill(0x0000FF);
mask_mc.moveTo(0, 0);
mask_mc.lineTo(100, 0);
mask_mc.lineTo(100, 100);
mask_mc.lineTo(0, 100);
mask_mc.lineTo(0, 0);
mask_mc.endFill();

mask_mc.cacheAsBitmap = true;
square_mc.cacheAsBitmap = true;
square_mc.setMask("mask_mc");

This code above, and subsequent SWF, behave exactly as expected, until I try to load it into a separate Flash file with the MovieClipLoader method. When I do this, I lose all masking layers, and I'm looking at both squares. Here's my code for the second file:

Code:
var loadListener:Object = new Object();

var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(loadListener);

var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mcLoader.loadClip("masked.swf", mc);

Any ideas on what would cause, or rather how to remedy, this issue? Thanks in advance.

Multi-mask Layers For ONE Image Layer?
Hi everybody,
I want to create an animation as follows:
- Six mask layers on top ONE image layer
- The image will open partially as the masks open up
Please remember that I don't want to create each image layer for each mask layer to avoid big file size
So can I use SIX mask layers for ONE image layer? I don't know how as the image layer can be affected by the top-nearest mask layer only. Please help me. Thanks a lot

Importing SWF, Layers And Actionscript Mask Question
Hi All,

I am trying to attach an animation I created in another swf. The movie attaches itself fine (see code sample 1). However an actionscrip mask I have used (please look at sample code 2) does not display at all. The animation works, but the mask (pre-built into the animation) is not working. Now I am pretty sure it has something to do with layers.

Any help would be appreciated.

// CODE SAMPLE 1

function createLoad()

{

trace("attempting to load movie");

this.attachMovie("loads", "loads_1", 1);

loads_1._x = 60;

loads_1._y = 340;

trace("playing movie loading");

}

// CODE SAMPLE 2

onClipEvent (load) {

_level_0.snowy.setmask(_root.hole);

}

Thanks,

Obelisk

Mask Layers Works Backwards In Publ'd View
I've got a simple button that will launch an URL. In the 'up' and 'down' states, I have placed the same graphic symbol. In the 'over' state, I placed a movie clip. To create the 'still' states for this button (the graphic symbol used in 'up' and 'down') I copied the movie clip and turned it into a graphic symbol with 1 frame, so the mask and layers in both symbols are all from the same construction.

The masking works fine after I lock the mask layers and return to the main scene. But when I publish, only the 'over' state with the movie clip displays correctly. The 'up' and 'down' states reveal the mask and the layers beneath are not masked at all.

I tried changing the graphic symbol into a movie clip via the properties dialogue to no avail. Even with all three states containing movie clips, it doesn't work.

i'll attach the file - very simple header for a band website. The item in question is the icon beside 'click to launch player'.

Applying A Mask To Layers Which Follow A Motion Guide, Not Working
ooh arrrr, for some reason when i try to apply a mask to a guide layer and the layers below it (gfx which follow the guide), the layers dont get linked, the mask therefore doesnt work.

I tried placeing the mask layer inbetween the guide layer and the guided gfx layers blelow but it would not let me.

Can you do this in flash? were am i going wrong, my animation is quite simple: small molecule like circles follow a guide layer which is a line.
At a certain point in the line i want the molecules to be visable then further along the line it want them to dissapear. I thought a mask would best achieve this but it doesnt work.

Im using flash8 but publishing in mx2004, i would upload the .fla buts its to big and im not really suspose to make the content public not thats its secret or anything but beacuase its for a museum, i have included a pic tho.

thanks

Dynamic Mask Doesn't Mask...
I have a local radar image that I am loading into a holder movie clip and trying to mask but it doesn't work. Both the image and the mask are being displayed.

The holder movie clip is 'dopplerRad_mc' and I am attaching from the library.
The clip the image is loaded into is 'dopplerHolder_mc' and is dynamically created.
I then attach a mask movie clip from the library, 'imageMask1'.

My code is below. Any idea what I am missing?

var dopplerRad_mc:MovieClip = attachMovie("doppler_mc","dopplerRad_mc", getNextHighestDepth());
var doppler_mc:MovieClip = dopplerRad_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("dopplerHolder_ mc", dopplerRad_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(mclListener);
mcLoader.loadClip(doppler, dopplerRad_mc.dopplerHolder_mc,1);
dopplerRad_mc.attachMovie("imageMask","imageMask1" ,2);
dopplerRad_mc.dopplerHolder_mc.setMask(dopplerRad_ mc.imageMask1);

"duplicateMovieClip" Depth Issue Concerning Mask Layers
I'm using Flash MX and XML...

Here is what I have working right now:

-XML loads into flash
-I use the "duplicateMovieClip" function to generate a list of links.
-Each time this function is called, my hotlink MC is duplicated onto a new layer with the appropriate XML content loaded into it.

What I need to figure out:

-How to make these duplicated MC's affected by a mask. If I were to make for instance, 10 copies of "hotLink_MC" and put them in a masked layer, everything would be fine. However, these copies are generated using the "duplicateMovieClip" function, which puts each one on a new layer.

My Question:

How do I move my duplicated MC's to a masked layer?

Dynamic Layers
I have a flash document that contains a map of the uk divided into region's, each region is a symbol:movie on its own layer e.g. South West, Midlands etc. I am trying to figure out how to get the region that the mouse is over to display on top of everything else. Currently the regions display in the layer order so end up appearing behind each other. I'm not new to flash but haven't ever done anything as complicated as this before.

Dynamic New Layers..
Hello all...

I seem to have exhausted my smarts trying to figure this one out.

What i want to do:

i want to be able to load an external swf into the current movie based on keyboard input. Meaning that when the user presses a given alpha numeric key, i want some corresponding content to load. And what is more, is i would like to have the new content come in overtop of the current content.

So if the user presses "A", that loads some kind of conent to the stage. Then when they press "B" that loads something else over top of the current content. And so forth.

None of my methodology seems to work. Any suggestions would be awesomely appreciated!

[FCS3] Dynamic Layers
How do I dynamically control which object is shown above or below another? I want to create a rotating menu, where icons are revolving around a vertical axis. So the icons in the foreground will eventually become icons in the background and thus their view will get obstructed by the icons coming into the fore.

I'm figuring that the actionscript is needed to dynamically assign assets to layers. How do I achieve this?

(I haven't touched flash in ages and this may not be the correct place to post this)

Dynamic Text In Layers
Perhaps this is more simple than I'm making it...but I have dynamic text in an MC I am loading with loadMovie and I want to change the text based on the button state. The instance where the text lives is actually being tweened for alpha:

Example

on (release) {
instanceMC.instanceLOADED_MC.instance_DYNAMIC_TEXT.text = "words";
}

I'm missing something easy.

My goal is to re-use the animation and have the text change when the user clicks certain buttons.

Help...and thanks in advance.

Dynamic Images And Layers
Hi All-

I've got a flash movie header for my website that allows me to send the image file names in the actual HTML code as PARAMs. The thing is, directly below the image, there are buttons and the whole thing doesn't fit together right, so I wanted to have the buttons on top of the changing image. Right now they are just .gif images, and since I transparency and z-indicies aren't yet widely implemented, I figured I would just make the buttons in the actual flash movie. The question is, is there a way to still send the image names to the file and leave the buttons on top of the dynamically changing image? I just don't know how to keep anything that I place in the movie on top....

The code for the current slideshow is as follows:

var pic_arr = images.split(',');
var currentSlide = 0;
// specify pic locations, alpha increment each frame, and
// number of frames to keep current picture displayed before
// transitioning to the next one
this.attachMovie("slideshow", "show", 1, {_x:0, _y:0, _visible:false, fps:12, nFrames:24, alphaIncr:10, slides_arric_arr, slideDepth:1, repeat:true, slideTracker:"currentSlide"});
// tell _root (this) to listen for events broadcast by show
show.addListener(this);

this.onAllSlidesLoaded = function() {
show._visible = true;
show.beginTransitions();
};
this.onShowOver = function() {
// set repeat:false in show for this to be called
// trace('slideshow is over');
};

};

[F8] Dynamic Drawing And Dynamic Mask Problems
Hi everyone. I've decided to start learning dynamic drawing (I'm using flash 8) and so I'm attempting to create a basic menu using purely actionscript. What I'm working toward is creating a main button that when pressed, it's sub buttons will drop down from behind it, using a mask to make them show up as they drop down.

I'm still at the initial phase of this. Currently I'm just placing the buttons in their final location so I can work the mask issue, which is where I'm having problems. I've got my script to create the buttons in their proper locations, and then to create the mask in it's proper location. The problem is when I try to apply the mask to the sub-buttons, it also masks the main button. I've tried this several different ways but still have not gotten any success.

Could someone take a look and see what you think? Also, if there is a much easier way to do this, please feel free. Thanks.

Here's my code:

Code:
//Set up some starting variables:
//menu position:
menuxoriginal = 100;
menuyoriginal = 100;
menux = menuxoriginal;
menuy = menuyoriginal;
//menu width and height:
w = 100;
h = 25;
//menu separation:
s = 5;
//corner clip off:
clipoff = h*.25;
//number of menu items:
n = 3;
//
//
//Now create the buttons - no labels on them yet.
//
for (i=1; i<n; i++) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("btn"+i, i);
with (_root."btn"+i) {
trace(this);
moveTo(menux, menuy);
//shade first box different color than all others:
if (i==0) {
beginFill(0x222222);
} else {
beginFill(0x3377ff);
}
//draw lines (button)
lineTo(menux+w, menuy);
lineTo(menux+w, menuy+h-clipoff);
lineTo(menux+w-clipoff, menuy+h);
lineTo(menux, menuy+h);
endFill();
}
//prep y location for next button (current y value+button height+separation value)
menuy = menuy+h+s;
}
//
//
//For Testing Purposes: place start of mask halfway over so we can see what's going on. Normally will be the original value of 100.
//
menux = 150;
//reset menuy to be the original value plus the height of the first button.
menuy = menuyoriginal+h;
//create the mask to start at bottom of fist button and cover all remaining buttons:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mask", 10);
with (_root.mask) {
moveTo(menux, menuy);
beginFill(0x000000);
lineTo(menux+w-clipoff, menuy);
lineTo(menux+w, menuy-clipoff);
lineTo(menux+w, menuy+5+((i-1)*(h+s)));
lineTo(menux, menuy+5+((i-1)*(h+s)));
endFill();
}
//here make the mask clip mask all the bottons except the first:
for (i=1; i<n; i++) {
_root.btn+i.setMask (_root.mask);
}

Dynamic Text Under Dynamic Mask W/ MS+ Scroller.......
Hola, everybody. I am stuck. I have some dynamic text under a dynamic mask.....I am using one of the MS+ scrollers (www.mirage-studios.com). This scroller requires the content to be under a mask. Since dynamic text wont show under a regular mask, I decieded to use a dynamic mask. The problem is that this scroller will only scroll up to the end of how big I made the dynamic text. Meaning if I made the dynamic text 500px in height, but the text being dynamically put in it, the scroller will only scroll down to that 500th pixel, rather than to the end of the text. Anyone know what I can do?

Thanks,
Gerard

Tutorial 57, Dynamic Text, And Multiple Layers Of MCs
I am working with tutorial 57, its an Easing Menu system. It works great but there is one thing that is happening and I don't understand why. I can not create a dynamic text field on the blocks that is deep within several layers of MCs. Static text shows up fine, but switch that static text to dynamic and when you text the movie the text disappears. I have been playing with this and asked for help before, but this is really confounding me. I got around using one block for loading an external text file by making one of the blocks have an Alpha = 0% then placing the dynamic text field under it where its only within one layer of MC. but the limit to that is I can only have one invisible block, I need to have the other blocks solid so to cover the other text field. to see my example go to http://www.kmlbearing-se.com hopefully someone here can explain why the dynamic text field is invisible.

thank you

Maintain Flash Transparency When Using Dynamic Layers
I’m creating a dynamic layer:

PHP Code:

function dylayer()

var x = 150
var y = 180
var w = 176
var h = 117
var newDiv = document.createElement("div");
newDiv.setAttribute("id","oDiv");
newDiv.style.textAlign="center";
newDiv.style.position="absolute";
newDiv.style.top="140px";
newDiv.style.left="150px";
newDiv.setAttribute("style", "width:50%; text-align:center; position:absolute; top:150; left:180;");
document.body.appendChild(newDiv);
newObj = document.createElement("embed");
newObj.setAttribute("src","transflash.swf");
newObj.setAttribute("width",w);
newObj.setAttribute("height",h);
newDiv.appendChild(newObj);
}

and loading a Flash swf file that has transparency:

PHP Code:

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="transflash.swf">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=transparent>
<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#CC6633>
<EMBED src="transflash.swf" quality=high wmode=transparent bgcolor=#CC6633
      WIDTH="176" HEIGHT="117" NAME="transflash" ALIGN="" .........>

The javascript as is doesn’t include the Flash <param>’s for transparency. I’ve being trying to insert it using:

PHP Code:

transpParam = document.createElement("param");
transpParam.setAttribute("wmode", "transparent");
newObj.appendChild(transpParam);

Could someone help with the insertion or offer an alternative suggestion as to how to include the transparency param for flash

Many Thanks…

this Mc has an instance name, as "square"...
I move the _xscale property of this mc, dynamically... and it works...
So good : )
But now... when I transform my layer to the mask property, it doesn't work !!! : (
It seems that my squareMc does not respond...
My goal is to reveal the dynamic txt with a dynamic mask changing his _xscale property...
