Gear Rotation After Button Press
I have yet another problem.
I have an external "nav swf", that controlls another ex. swf (content)
When I press a button, the "content" slides, left and right. I want a gear to rotate after pressing the button as well. I have no idea how to execute this effect. So far this is what is in my button (which works so far):


Quote:




on (release) {
tellTarget ("/content_bg")
_root.content_bg.targetX = 600;
tellTarget ("/content_bg")
gears_MC._rotation +=3;
}






I would like to sync the rotating of the gear, to the sliding of the background.
So, someone clicks a button, the BG slides left or right while the gear rotates. I really could use your help on this. Thanks.

Rotatiing Gear Or Symbol For Loading
Hello Forum Members,

I have seen (particularly when a MAC computer boots up, etc) a "gear-like" symbol that gives the appearance
of rotation that some flash programmers use when an image loads. I have seen this on various flash sites (like JetPhoto.com). Where can I get that symbol? I would like to use that instead of text indicating percent loaded, etc.

Any tips?

Thanks
eric

Building A Gear-and-rack Loading Bar--need Script Help
I am building a web page that requires a loading bar. I want to make mine unique by using a gear and rack instead of a bar. As my site loads (swf), I want the gear to rotate counterclockwise slightly and the rack to nudge forward 6 px.

See the example image, please.

When implemented, the portion of the rack outside the designated area will be masked-out. This will obviously be a much more complicated movie clip than the standard bar animation, but it will kick *$$. I have Already successfully made a gear-train animation that rotates flawlessly and endlessly with different sized gears. It looks cool, and I want to do this to keep continuity in design.

I need help scripting this. I have never scripted a load-page, before. I am actually a novice scripter. I use Flash CS3 and actionscript 2.0. Please help me write this. I think I can figure out the part for the rotation and translation ITSELF, but I have no clue how to make it dependant on the percent of the scene that is loaded.

Can anyone help?

Liquid Metal Effect
Hi guys,

Do you guys know where to find a tutorial, or source code, of a liquid metal effect?
I've got this white box, with round corners, and with a small inner shadow. What I want exactly is:
When I rollover the box border, it moves and waves, just like if the box was made out of liquid metal, like T-1000 from Terminator2. Here is my box:
box

The closest I could find on the net that somehow achieves this effect is
something like this
and here

Any idea on where or how to acomplish this?
thank you

Actionscript Generated Brushed Metal
Brushed Metal jpg texture

Brushed Metal - Flash 8 Version

This is the brushed metal texture I would like to be able to generate with code for Flash 6 AS2.0. The Flash 8 version is perfect, simple and done but I would like to make this Flash 6 compatible. Advertising publishers really aren't into pushing the boundaries.

This was created in Photoshop:
C0C0C0 bkgd
Monochromatic Gaussian Noise 15%
Motion Blur 170
Set layer to Color Burn
Place a 20% blackto-white gradient on top
Place metal color layer underneath

The Flash 8 version is created with this code:

Code:
Stage.scaleMode = 'noScale';

this.createEmptyMovieClip("static_mc", 1);

static_mc._x = mask_mc._x;
static_mc._y = mask_mc._y;

var bmp = new flash.display.BitmapData(mask_mc._width, mask_mc._height);
static_mc.attachBitmap(bmp, 1);
static_mc.setMask(mask_mc);

var grayscale = true;
bmp.noise(Math.floor(1000*Math.random()), 50, 200, 1|2|4, grayscale);
I'm not sure what my approach should be, in terms of particle generation. What I'm looking at at the moment, is to hand build something close, and tile it.

Not very re-usable or cool.

Any thoughts suggestions or links gladly received...

cheers,
MM

Fading An MC As A Solid
hi,

I have a few movieclips that I am fading out alpha with actionscript

The problem is the MC is not a solid shape, it has layered shapes in it, so you can see all the shapes within it fading indivually

Is there a way of fading an MC as if it were a solid (bitmap?)

Is there an easy way of converting a vector mc into a bitmap in actionscript?

Thanks

Solid Wall
I am making a labyrinth in Adobe Flash at my school. I have already made the ball, which you must play with through the labyrinth. You click the ball with mouse and move it with your mouse. How I get the walls of the labyrinth to be solid that the ball cant go over the walls?

Is there any way to make it solid? Another idea I had is to make te ball jump one pixel farther from the wall when it touches the wall.

I have tried some several scripts, but all I have achieved is that the ball jumps over the wall, so in a way the wall is solid, but I want the ball to bounce from the wall.

The game is simple. The ball is drawn movieclip and the walls are lines made into movieclip.

Thank you in advance

[AS3] Drawing API - Solid Overlap?
I'm trying to simply draw a solid shape consisting of various other shapes, however, when I overlap two shapes, the overlapped area becomes transparent again. For instance:

Code:
var myShape:Shape = new Shape();
myShape.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
myShape.graphics.drawCircle(10, 10, 25);
myShape.graphics.drawCircle(20, 10, 25);
myShape.graphics.endFill();
this.addChild(myShape);
The above code is AS3, but I believe the same thing happens for AS2 as well. The overlapping area between the two circles is not clack

Is there something I'm missing to make it one solid black object? I've seemed like I've crawled the livedocs for an hour!

Thanks!

How Do I Make Objects Solid So Te Car Cant Go Through Them?
I've made a car move around with the kyboard buttons, but i want to make objects that the car cannot pass through and hopefully bounce off how would i go about that?

I want to see if i could use the the flash drawing engine as well, so that they could draw their track then it would be solid, so they can race the car round in it? is that possible?

LocalConnection: Solid Or Brittle?
I'm building a site that will stream audio and video recordings in a custom Flash 9 media player.

The recordings will stream in a pop-up window. However, I would like to display some info about the currently playing recording in the main browser window (title, time elapsed, etc.) and also provide a play/pause button. Basically like embedding a "remote control" for the pop-up in the main page.

The most obvious choice to accomplish this seems to be local connection. Having never used local connection before, I'm hoping someone with a little experience with it can quell a couple of my concerns; specifically:
Is LocalConnection brittle? (i.e. cross-browser issues, buggy, etc.)
While using the player, will the user experience side effects if navigating to another site that uses local connection?
As LocalConnection has been around since Flash 6, is there now a better method to facilitate communication between the remote SWF and the player SWF?

Random Particles To Solid
I'm trying to figure out how I might achieve the reverse of Andy Fould's beautiful photo transition effect (http://www.andyfoulds.co.uk)...
basically I want a number of particles (squares) to begin small and invisible and then each have a random path and velocity as it scales to 100% and alphas in to form a larger, solid background. My main problem is with randomizing its movement from one place (random position on the stage) to its final destination (each square next to one another to form a solid). Any help would be much appreciated.

Text Transparency With Solid Background
hi,

i'm trying to create a menu setup where the menu option "inverts" on a mouseover.

i have a picture as backdrop, and white textual menu options. The text has no background or border, so the options are just white text floating over the background.

i'm trying to make it so that when you hover over an item, it changes to a white text background, and the text becomes transparent, so that suddenly the background becomes visible through the text.

does anyone know if this is possible? If not, i'll have to go with black text on a white background for the mouseover. one thing that strikes me is: are negative masks possible? could i make the text a mask so that it appears to cut a transparent hole in a white box?

any help would be appreciated,
