As2 - Movieclip As Button + ColorTransform
hello all
i have found that you cannot target the content of a button (if you can, dont hesitate to correct me) like this.buttonName.mcInsideButton.
so i created a movieclip with frames and with AS i recreated the same principle as a button. i need my button content to be customizable, so via functions i change the colors of the movieclips inside the said button.
problem is, it seems that once the color is set, the x and y position of the mc inside the fake button is fixed. (in the library version, on the down frame, the images are on pixel down, while at runtime only the non colored images goes one pixel down)
anybody has some insight on this?
Applying ColorTransform To Animated MovieClip
Hello All,
Here's my situation. I have an animated movieclip that I apply a ColorTransform to programmatically with AS3. Applying the transform correctly changes the tint of the movieclip but the animation doesn't play anymore. What am I missing exactly? Is it not possible to apply a ColorTransform and still have animation play? Thanks in advance.

Convert Number (0x000000) To Css Colour (#000000)
I know this should be simple but I just can't work out how to convert a number in a constants class (0x000000) to a colour that I can use inside a FONT tag (#000000)
I would just use CN.COLOUR_BLACK.toString() and remove the first 2 characters, but the string is being returned as 0, not 000000.
Any suggestions?
MovieClip Colour HELP

Changing Colour Of A Movieclip

Movieclip Colour Change?
hi. i'm having a problem with changing the colour settings of a movieclip:
i have a menu system, which consists of many movieclips inside one main movieclip (which i'll call "menu") just to make the main timeline a bit neater and organised.
each of my sections (home, about, gallery, links etc) has a different colour scheme. (basicaly white and another colour) and all use the same menu movieclip. what i want is to have each section have a different colour menu system, to match the current section colour. but (as it took a loooooong time to make the menu system (as i'm not very good at actionscrip!t)) i dont want to have to make a new menu for each section and change the colour. it would also take a long time, and could get complicated (for me at least)
what i tried to do was use the movieclip colour settings. i've tried both tint and advanced, but i cant seem to get what i want., though advanced came close.
is there anyway of changing the colour of a movieclip without changing the actual movieclip so that it doesnt affect the other sections with the same movieclip?
so like, if i had two colours in a movieclip, white and, say, black. could i change it so one section has the movieclip as white and blue, and another section have the same movieclip but as white and red etc?
check out my website and look at the button menu. each section has a different colour of the movieclip (using the advanced settings) but i can only get a pastel version of the colour, not the exact colour. (the white always stays the same, which is great and just what i want for the white)

Changing Colour Of Movieclip
I have this piece of actionscript working
ActionScript Code:
var my_color = new Color("mymc");my_color.setRGB(0xFF0000);
This works when I call the actionscript say from a button on the same timeline as the movieclip. What I can't get my head round is how I change the colour of an object on a different timeline, say if the path to the movieclip was _root.mc1.mc2.mymc
What would be the actionscript then?
Tweening A MovieClip With Some Colour
I'm making a game which is based on a two-dimensional map of a rather small size (less than 32x32), I want to add some colour to each of the positions on this map, depending on that areas properties. All properties range from zero (0) to one (1).
For example, if an area has much of one property then I want to add some green colour to it, showing that it's a "good area".
How to do this with ActionScript 3.0?

Chaning Colour Of MovieClip In Actionscript
Hi, i have a movieclip within a movieclip placed on the main stage, when someone rolls over it, i want it to change the colour of another movie clip on the stage (its just text on the stage that i turned into a movieclip.) I have my roll over script and everything else working fine, just this. All i'm basically trying to do is highlight someones name from a list (i've turned each persons name into a movieclip) once they select that persons picture. So i'm looking for help with changing the colour on roll over, and reverting it to normal on roll out, if possible. Thanks!

Masked MovieClip Colour Property Probem
I have a movieclip instance that is set as a mask which contains a simple rectangle that changes shape with shape tweening. This then masks a movieclip that consists of just a rectangle. In actionscript i adjust the colour
of this masked movieclip depending on a colour the user selects.
The problem is that the colour of this masked rectangle movieclip reverts to the original colour after one loop of the mask movieclip, where i want it to stay as the selected colour.
I also have this problem using gotoAndStop. For example, there are 20 frames in the mask clip which starts on frame 10, and as soon as i change the frame with gotoAndStop the colour reverts. In both cases it is as though the masked instance is no longer recognised.
Any ideas?
[F8] Movieclip Actionscript Advanced Colour Control
Hey, i have made some colour sliders, so i can use actionscript to change the colour of the movieclip, but I dont just want to change the whole colour of the movieclip, I want it to keep its tones, as would happen if you used the advanced colour tool within flash.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Printing Movieclip Without Stage Background Colour
I need to print a movieclip with some text and images in it and it's working fine with the print button I created. My problem is that when it prints, it prints the background colour of the overall movie, which is black in this case and it will waste ink unnecessarily. I just want to print the contents without having to print the background colour.
Thanks in advance.

Problems Changing Colour Of A Movieclip On A Button Press
hi, im coding a api drawing program in flash8 and im trying to create a colour preview box.
i was attempting to write code to change the hexidecimal colour value of a movieclip (which is a white square with the instance name of colour_mc) when a button is pressed.
The code for the buttons which when pressed will change the colour of the white square look like this:
//colour is a varible for hexidecimal colour of the linestyle command
//colour_mc is the white square which is ment to change colour.
a_btn.onRealease = function() {
colour = 0x000000;
colour_mc.transform.colorTransform = 0x000000;
};
I thought this code would work but it doesnt the movieclip doesnt change colour at all. Does anyone know were im going wrong? thanks

Can I Convert A Timeline Into A Movieclip?
I know this is gonna sound kinda special ed, but I'm desperate...
I created an intro animation in a new fla. Works good, looks good.
The problem is I have a Main.fla that I want to include the intro in as a movie clip element.
How the heck can I convert the timeline of a fla into a movieclip element to be used in another fla?
I should have created a blank movie clip in the Main, but like I said, I'm a lil special Ed this week...
Thanks and on the edge,

Need To Convert A MovieClip Into A Bitmap
Hi guys!
I'm still new at AS3 but I'm slowly getting the hang of it.
I wanted to ask if anyone here knew how to convert a movieclip into a bitmap. I want to perform a function which is similar to getting a screengrab.
I'm then going to blur it using a filter, and then display the static image on the layer below the current layer.
I know its got something to do with BitmapData, but I just can't seem to get the code right (I've not used this class before).
Also, how do you target specific layers?
Can anyone shed some light on this? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

How Do I Convert A MovieClip To A Sprite?
Feeling a little overwelmed with the transistion from AS2 to AS3. I'm not a developer/coder, I wear the designer hat. I'm a graphics application instructor transitioning from AS2 to AS3 and I'm getting no where trying to figure out how to do a start and stop drag in the new version.
I have a simple exercise for my class that involves making movieclip symbols then using Startdrag & Stopdrag (or assigning via behaviors in Flash 8.0) to manipulate the movieclips in the player.
I need to be able to reproduce this in Action Script 3.0. I know it involves Sprites but I haven't been able to figure out how to set a Movieclip symbol as a Sprite.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Convert Loader Into MovieClip
It probably has a simple answer but i can't figure it out, i've googled a ton.
Quote:
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();

addChild (imageLoader);
When i trace it it says "object loader" and i can't manage depth with a loader object (i don't think)
or am i going to have to use another movieclip to contain it
Throws an implicity coersion error if i try to use this code

Convert Sprite/MovieClip To Bitmap

Capture Screen And Convert To Movieclip
Hi,
What I would like to do is capture what is currently visible (its a 2000 pixel wide vector image and a 766 by 700 stage), I guess use the bitmap class, create a movieclip to put that capture into it, to then blur it with the FMP filter kit (http://www.flash-fmp.de/):
#include "FilterManagingPrototypes.as"
myClip.Blur_blurX = 0;
myClip.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.Blur_blurX ++;
if(this.Blur_blurX == 100) delete (this.onEnterFrame);
}
How can I do this capturing?
Thanks!
Convert Externally Loaded Swf To Movieclip
Hey
How do I load a swf and then assign it to a movieclip.
The code I have now is
Code:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, loaded);
loader.load(new URLRequest("intro.swf"));
function loaded(event:Event):void {
var test_mc:MovieClip;
test_mc = MovieClip(loader.content);
trace(test_mc.totalFrames);
}
I've tried Event.COMPLETE and using loader.content to access properties but neither fixes the problem.
Right now the error is, " cannot convert flash.display::AVM1Movie@2ed3299 to flash.display.MovieClip"

Convert TextField To Sprite Or MovieClip
Hi there,
All I want to do is something like fading out some text. As this is not possible using a TextField I googled around for some hours but only found solutions where I had to use the Flash GUI ("Select the TextField, transform it into a symbol ...") and Ready-To-Use-Classes around 30$ - 150$
I tried stuff like that:
ActionScript Code:
var myText:TextField = new TextField;
var textSprite:Sprite = new Sprite;
myText.text = "Would someone fade me please?";
textSprite.addChild(myText);
addChild(textSprite);
textSprite.alpha = 0.5;
But it doesn't work. As there are commercial classes that solve such issues, there must be a way.
Hope you can help me
Is It Possible To Convert A Movieclip To A Bitmap Using Actionscript 3.0
I am interested in creating a flash player that enables the user to export the swf file as a bitmap of custom size/resolution and save it. Before I attempt to do it I would like to know if it's possible to do it exclusively with actionscript 3.0 or if I need an external program. I haven't found anything on the net that does this only using actionscript.

How To Convert String To Object (movieclip Instance Name)
this is a function on my _root :
function callMsg(title,msg,btn) {
trace("_root.msgBox() is called");
_root.x += 1;
var newName = "x"+_root.x;
duplicateMovieClip("_root.msgBox",newName,_root.x) ;
//////////////////////////////////////////////
//Need to call function startMsg() in the created movieclip
//////////////////////////////////////////////
var xx = (Stage.width/2 - _root.msgBox._width/2);
var yy = (Stage.height/2 - _root.msgBox._height/2);
setProperty(newName,_x,xx);
setProperty(newName,_y,yy);
}
with that i added a line
_root.newName.startMsg();
but it wouldnt work, i thought the reason must be "newName" is a String hence it wouldnt refer to a _root.String but looking for a _root.object
example if newName is "x1", the duped movie clip would be named x1 too
hence i need to call out :
_root.x1.startMsg();
qns is how do i get it to refer newName as a movie clip ?
thx in advance, btw whats the difference between depth and level ? and can i delete my own post here ?
