Flash :: Black Dot

Black Box
Flash ver 5
We have constructed a UK map which has 4 different layovers (all on the same layer but off of the movie display area) they are set to appear at certain coordinates upon click on the corresponding button one at a time (also on the same layer). Each of the layovers has lines where regions have been made in to buttons - these change the url to show results in an I-frame.
We have put a mask above the layer with all of this on to stop the layovers appearing.

The problem is that when we include it in our page the flash appears as a black bow until it is hovered at which time it appears and all works fine. If we run the flash in a page by itself it appears to be OK, we only get the black box when we include it in a table which we need to do on the page!

Any ideas!

Red Or Black?
Alright for a very simple project I am building a money balance reporter. The idea is to have the current balance be in red if the balance is below $0. And black if it is greater than zero. For a brief moment I had it working and I swear I didn't change the code but I must have because now it isn't working. Can anyone help me out?

ActionScript Code:
myBalance = new LoadVars();
myBalance.load("currBalance.txt");

myBalance.onLoad = function(){

redOrBlack = new Color(_root.currBal); //<-- function that sets currBal to currBalance and decides whether you are in the red or black.

if(this.currBalance < 0){

redOrBlack.setRGB(0xFF0000);

}else{

redOrBlack.setRGB(0x000000);

}
_root.currBal.htmlText = "<b>" + this.currBalance + "</b>";

}

Cheers

Strange Black Box
hi there

so i decided to not cheat and make a flash animation in flash , not in firestarter or swish or whatever. All was going smooth - my guess work was getting me through it!!!

now when i click 'control' -> 'play' it seems fine. The shapes come in nicely and all is good (it only has simple fade in/out effects with a bit of rotation)

so thats groovy.

my next scene involves a line of text starting off the screen with an alpha of 0% - it moves and fades into position on screen. It does the movement but it has grown some hideous black and white lines around it!!!

here is a screen capture while i was doing a 'control' -> 'play' to test it:

http://www.geekvault.com/dodgyblackbox.gif

also

i published the flash movie to see it bare in the player and it looked awful - all of the fading was missing etc. - so i checked the obvious thing the 'publish settings' checked that everything was set to max quality, re published and it still looked crap and it had no effects. i managed to export an avi and that did keep the effects.

any secret 'make my animation crap' buttons i may have accidently pressed?

thanks very much for your help,

Stuart

MC Printing Black...
Hello,

I have an MC I'd like to print, and use the following bit of code to do so:

Code:
printbtn.onRelease = function() {
var my_pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
if (my_pj.start()) {
if (my_pj.addPage("comptxt", {xMin:0, xMax:600, yMin:0, yMax:600}, null, 1)) {
}
if (pageAdded) {
my_pj.send();
}
delete my_pj;
}
}
That works well enough, except I'm having a hard time understanding a couple of things about the code itself. Can anyone explain this bit:

Code:
{xMin:0, xMax:600, yMin:0, yMax:600}, null, 1)
and how I can define the size of my mc?

Another question is, when I do print something, my result is a black square, where I'd like to see the contents of my MC on a white (transparent) background.

Can anyone offer some suggestions and insight?

Thanks

Black And White ?
Hi to all

i need to transform a colorized BitmapData into Black and White (2 colors only)

I tried look around on web, documentation and this site before to post here.

I made a simple script AS3 like this (but the result is not so good):

ActionScript Code:
for (var i:uint = 0; i<myBitmapData.width; i++) {
for (var j:uint = 0; j<myBitmapData.height; j++) {
if (myBitmapData.getPixel(i,j)>32768)
{myBitmapData.setPixel(i,j,0xFFFFFF);}
else
{myBitmapData.setPixel(i,j,0x000000);}
}
}

It process every single pixel and set to white if greater than 32768 (8000 Esadecimal) and black if lower than.

Is a correct approach ? Exist other faster and better tecniques ?
like colorTransform or applyFilter or something else ?
Can anyone give me a tip or help ?

Thanks in advance

Mouse Over Is Black In IE7
If you view the small ad on top of left navigation at this site:
http://www.exploreli.com/entertainme...lguide/dining/
and mouse over the 21 Main Steak House ad in FireFox
it displays as a larger pop out. But in IE browsers that mouse
over pop out is a black box wherever a button would be (
closed button & invisible button to go to ad site).

Can anyone tell me if this is an issue with the flash file or
the javascript that places the ad on the page?

Fade To Black
I have all of one week of Flash under my belt. I'm so happy with the progress I've made so far, but please excuse me if this is a dumb question...

For the sake of convenience, let's say my Flash project consists of two main pages - Photos and Writings. Each page has a button to get to the other. The pages look quite different, and to avoid the abrupt change, I'd like to fade the current page to black before moving to the next. The thing is, you might be in any of a hundred different states of Photos when you click to go to Writings - you may be looking at the dog, you may be scrolling through the index, etc. I can't see creating a seperate fade for each state.

Instead, I came up with a Fader movieclip. It consists of ten frames of a full-screen black rectangle tweening from completely transparent to completely opaque. I even clicked the Export for ActionScript checkbox and everything.

I then make the following modification to my Writings button...

on(release) {
_root.attachMovie("Fader", "TempFader", 1); //Like I have ANY idea what the _root means
gotoAndPlay("Writings");
}

When I test it, the following two bad things occur:

1. The fade starts fine(!), but almost immediately, the Writings page loads up and continues to black. Makes sense I guess, Writings started running only a few milliseconds after Fader. Oops.

2. The fade just keeps looping. Infinitely. I can actually navigate Writings, but the fade loop never ends. Grr.

Okay, at least I can fix #2, I think. I add the following to the first frame of Writings...

_root.removeMovieClip("TempFader");

Absolutely no effect.

I'm close, aren't I? Gimme a hint. I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks!

Black Screen In IE
Hi there, dont know if any of you can help, but I am having a problem with a black screen on load up in Internet Explorer. Basically the whole screen is Black for about 40 seconds when you first load the site, no loading bar etc, just a black page. The file is quite big and as a result should take time to load, this I know, however.... When viewed in Firefox or Navigator the screen loads up in elements, you get the loading message etc, anyone know why this is happening? Once the page has been viewed once, and is in the cache the problem is still there, it just loads allot quicker, (5 seconds.) Sorry if this subject has been covered before. You can check out the site at www.donnyshow.co.uk/DONNYSHOW/home.html and see for yourself.

FLV And Exe Files Going Black
I can get the FLV files to play as long as I don't tell the projector files to play full screen. If I do, as soon as it hits the first FLV file the projector file goes black and when I hit escape the file has quit running. The script that I have tried for full screen is as follows...
flash.system.fscommand("fullscreen", "true")
and
fscommand("fullscreen", "true")

The script I have for my two instances of FLV files (i resized them) is as follows:
import fl.video.*;

// Video component instance name
var flvControl = display;
var flvSource = "rel-wdb019sr-022_x.flv";
var flvControl2 = display2;
var flvSource2 = "Wedding2.flv";
// Loop the video when it completes
function completeHandler(event:VideoEvent):void
{
flvControl.seek(0);
flvControl.play()
flvControl2.seek(0);
flvControl2.play()
}
flvControl.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
flvControl2.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

// Set video
flvControl.source = flvSource;
flvControl2.source = flvSource2;

Does anybody have any advice?

Black And White
Is it possible with AS to desaturate an image and then have it return to color on rollover?

I'd like to take the image loop made by scotty

http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90881

and have the images start out black and white then turn to color when you rollover.

I'm guessing that no, you can't do this with AS, but I couldn't think how else to do this.

Thanks,

Why Do I Get Black Borders Around My Rectangles?
Hi,

I have just tried drawing some rectangles on the same layer, but each time after transforming the scale they are all bordered by thick black borders.

Where could I be going wrong?

Using SetRGB - Displaying Black Only
I am using an array built of colours to generate a list of MCs each with their own individual colours - like a colour swatch.

The MCs are duplicating fine and naming themselves but when I come to set the RGB they all come out black.

I am using this code:

coloursList = new array("0x445544", "0x232353", "0x665544");

colours = new Color(_root.colours["col"+nameCount]);
colours.setRGB(coloursList[i]);

Is it because of the same variable name (colours) being used to set a new colour?

I have tried removing the 0x in my array and also not using quotes. Any help would be great!

I Want To Put A Black Border Around My Movie. HELP>
The idea is simple, but it has proven to be difficult.

I want a black square to go around the outside edge of my movie. Kind of like a black border, to frame all the content.

Now, I'd like to have it so that the user can't drag the edges of the window and see beyond this outer box.

IS that possible?

I am trying to do this thing full screen. Which works fine. Until I hit escape....then it resizes the movie, and you can drag the sides.

When I do the normal full screen command, the black border is where it should be, ....on the outside edge of the movie.

But, when I add the allowscale 'false' command, the black border isn't on the outside edge, and is instead somewhere in the middle of the screen.

Help me.

Hopefully you can identify or understand my problem.

Thanks.

Strange Black Lines?
I am trying to make a simple navigation with flash, but some of the words, when I test movie, or publish it, has a black line through it that starts in the word, and goes all the way to the right. All I have to do is type certian words, and they lines appear. Is this normal?

When Flash Prints Black?
Why is it when I print my work ( or someone else for that matter) it prints black.

For example: I go to a site that I've designed and I want to print it off for whatever reasons and all areas that contain swf files prints with a black background.

What is making that happen?

Crazy Black Screen
so i designed my entire flash website and everything was working fine until one day i opened up the .fla to make a few changes and the movie didnt play correctly anymore. for some unknown reason it plays the first 29 frames and at frame 30 just goes black... does anybody know why this is happening? i'm not exactly new at this and its not some silly actionscript issue because there are no actions that take place at the 30th frame. any suggestions would be appreciated.

Black Screen Problem
I have put up a site http://www.skylineimaging.co.uk recently and although in the majority it seems to work fine, one or two people who have tried to visit the site have said that they don't get anyhting but just a black screen.

Can anybody help me as to why this is hapening. Is it because they don't have the Flash 6 player plug in for their browser. If this is the case I thought that when they try to view the site an automatic msg appears asking them if they want to download the plug in.

In the publish dialog boxes I have chosen 'Flash Player 6' in the flash tab and 'Flash Only (Centered)' in the HTML tab.

Thanks

2: Now I got this 1/2 inch black border in IE "only". Netscape and Opera are fine.

Before I could upload with either FP 'or' FTP, neither would give my any problems.
