Change Background Dynamically

Change Background Dynamically
hello,

i've done some research but i can't seem to find what i'm looking for. i've visited flash sites that change the backround each time the page is reloaded. how is this done? does anyone know? is there a background mc with an OnClipEvent 'onload' that runs a script that selects a random bg? or is this done with the use of a javascript?

if anyone knows of a script please post the link or something. all help appreciated.

thanks

Transparent Background/ XML Code To Change The Background Colour
Hi,

In a bit of a pickle here; I need a way to insert a swf file into any color background website, so it automatically matches up.

Now, can one make the swf files background transparent? And match the background of any given websites background?

Or, can one use some sort of XML file and simply change this xml file to match the background color of the website?

Now, what if the website uses a particulare pic background? How would one match this?

As usual folks, I am stuck between a rock and a hard place, so any help deeply apprecaiteed!

Kind Regards,

How Dynamically Change The Image In Dynamically Created Row Of Images?
Hi everybody,
I am wondering if someone can help me to find out on how to replace the images in row of dynamically loaded images. I need on Press of an icon from the row of images replace the image of this icon to new one. Below is the code of creating the images row based on array and XMl data. I create an array based on data taking from XML.

Code:
var numOfImages:Number;
var thumbHeight:Number = 8;
var thumbSpace:Number = 100;
var thumbTotalDistance:Number = thumbHeight+thumbSpace;
var xCounter:Number = 5;
var thumbsCollectionHeight:Number;
var currentImage:Number = 0;
var moveOutDist:Number = 10;
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
var IM_Img:Array = new Array();
var IM_Title:Array = new Array();
//==================================================================================================================
//=============================== THUMBS IMAGE LOADER ==========================================================
//==================================================================================================================

var thumbImgLoader2:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var thumbImgListener2:Object = new Object();

thumbImgListener2.onLoadProgress = function(target:MovieClip):Void {

};
thumbImgLoader2.addListener(thumbImgListener2);
thumbImgListener2.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {

};

//==================================================================================================================
//=============================== XML ==================================================================================================
//==================================================================================================================

var totalXML:XML = new XML();

totalXML.ignoreWhite = true;
totalXML.onLoad = function(success) {

var TNnode = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes;
numOfImages = TNnode.length;

//---------------- ATTACHING THUMBS -----------------
//===========================================================================================================

for (i=0; i<numOfImages; i++) {
var mc:MovieClip = imCollection_mc.thumbs_mc.attachMovie("mcThumb_IM", "thumb_" + i, i);
mc._y = 0;
mc._x = xCounter;

xCounter = xCounter+thumbTotalDistance;
thumbImgLoader2.loadClip(TNnode[i].attributes.thumb,mc.loader_mc);


IM_Title.push(TNnode[i].attributes.title);
imCollection_mc.thumbs_mc["thumb_" + i].mc_title.title_txt.text = IM_Title[currentImage];

mc.id = i;
trace (mc.id);

mc.onPress = mc_im_onPress;

mc.xx = mc._x;
mc.yy = mc._y;

}
};

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
totalXML.load("images.xml");
Here is onPress event where I was thinking to add this functionality:

Code:
function mc_im_onPress() {

mcToSelect = this;

if(this.id==8){
//here I need to tell to replace the image from mc8 to new image from array to image#34 from xml
}
}
Any advice is highly appreciated. Thanks.

Load Background Dynamically (MX)
I'm having a slight problem with loading backgrounds dynamically. When the index page loads i need one bg.swf to load dynamically, but when the user clicks another background button, a new background will replace the default bg.swf that loaded automatically when the page opened. I understand to load the new bg's into an empty clip. I just need to know how to automatically load a .swf once the page opens. Pretty basic, i suppose. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Change A Background Image
I basically have 10 pictures in JPEG / or GIF , and want to show the pictures for 5 secs each, then swap to another picture. That's all I really need in the movie, nothing else..

I have imported them into the library,, but beyond that, I'm kinda flustered...

I'm not entirely sure if I shouldn't just use javascript for this, but I would like not to have an annoying 'navigate' sound everytime I want the picture to change...

Any ideas? Anyone know if this is possible?

Change Background To Transparent
I am running into some trouble with my rounded borders on a new flash project.

The stage I already colored #000000 when I first created it. How do I change it to invisible/transparent?

Is there any way to change it via code or just by editing the actual stage imaging?

Furthermore.. I have tried this._alpha=0; & Window Mode: Transparent Windowless. The black sticks out of the project very blatantly.

Any help appreciated!

How To Programmatically Change SWF Background
I am trying to figure out how to programmatically change the background of my pure ActionScript 3 application. I'm not using Flash (no canvas) or Flex framework. I'm building the SWF from FlashDevelop and setting the initial background in the project properties for compiling.

I have a Sprite for my main object in the display list. I have tried changing the opaqueBackground of that sprite but it doesn't have any effect. I tried to change the stage object opaqueBackground property but that produces a run time error. I tried to change parent. OpaqueBackground which confirms the sprite's parent is in fact the stage by giving the same run time error.

I am targeting the SWF for Flash 10 and testing it strictly in the Adobe Flash Player 10.

I Just Can't Change That Background Color...
Hi everyone:


I've asked this question on this forum before but I guess I couldn't explain it well enough. I don't know any better way than to show you it thru this small example. (See attached FLA and SWF).

My goal is to change the background of my own drawn object in the timeline of a movie clip, but somehow it just doesn't want to happen

Any contributions will be appreciated!

Background Color Change...
Ok, I can't seem to find this here or anywhere on the web so I'm hoping that this isn't so simple a question as to waste someone's time.

I would like to change my flash movie's background color (not image) programatically and/or it's corresponding html file. Here's what I am trying to accomplish.

Most people view pages in 800x600 now, but people vary on their resolution selections. If I create a movie with a black background and the corresponding html file has a black background then everything is blended and it looks nice. If I change the movie color background to red now you have a red square with a black html frame. What I would like is to be able to fade in from black to let's say red for both flash and html. I don't know if this is possible, but if it is I would imagine you guys would know.

Thanks much.

Background Change By Time Of Day. (MX)
I'm redesigning my MySpace page and would like to have a background of the an ocean/beach view with the sky in the background. It's just like your average background yet the picture changes depending on what time of day it is. So, if someone's viewing my page during the day, it shows a picture of the beach during daytime and if someone views my page at night, it shows that same picture at nighttime. This could either be achieved using three images (day, dusk/dawn/ and night) or if there was some way of creating a gradation, so the color slowly changes as time passes.

I've found a few codes online for this type of background (one that changes depending on what time it is)...but they're all in javascript, which MySpace doesn't allow.

I kind of figured the only way this might be possible is through Flash, but I don't know whether you can have a .swf file as a background or any other file that would allow for the coding that's needed.

So basically I'm asking...is this possible and does anyone have any idea as to what the actionscript would be?

I'd really appreciate any help.

I hope I could explain my problem. If anyone of you knows how to do this then please guide me. I currently use Flash 5

Background Colour Change.
Hello.
I was wondering if it was possible for me to change the colour of my background gradually using setTransform()? I dont know how to use it yet. But im guessing its something along the lines of..


ActionScript Code:
var myVar:Color = new Color(myMC);myVar.setTransform(Insert loads of rr, rg, rb stuff in here..);


But I want to do it gradually..

From what I remember, setTransform() is only a tint. Should I really be using setRGB()?

Thanks for ANY help .

An example of what I want can be found here : www.deathjr.com (SKip the intro, on the main site, then click 'Characters', choose any of them and watch the background colour change.

Change Background Colour Help.
Hello,

I,ve used Kirupa's script

( http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm )

to open a centralised window on the release of a button. It works brilliantly but I can't for my life work out how to change the background colour of the opened window to black.

I'm no programmer so don't really have much of a grasp of Action or Java script but having looked on the web, I think what I need to do is use document.bgColour('#000000') somewhere in the script but have no idea where to put it or even if it's right!

If someone could help me out on this one I'd be most grateful.

Cheers,

Mat.
