Don't seem to be getting along very well publishing as Flash 8, and viewing on a Mac (I'm assuming PC users are experiencing the same). See example here:

This page has no wmode transparency:...

Yes, that is true, but with Flash 8's cacheAsBitmap capabilities you can do more types of masks including gradient masking. So I;m wondering if your video has alpha channels, can you mask a movieclip...

Is this possible? I found a cool black/white video effect that I'm using in after effects, although I was wondering if it's possible to use that video as a mask on another video in Flash 8.

I took...

Got it:



var actionArray:Array = new Array(["firstQuote", 20], ["secondQuote", 40]);
var actionCounter:Number = 0;

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
for (var i:Number = 0;...

Hmm, not working for me. I wish I could find where I've done it previously. Seems to me like it should be working.

I tried:
this[actionArray[i][0]()];

Also tried:
this[actionArray[i][0]]();

I've done this before, but can't find the previous file I did it in. Basically I have an array of functions, and I'm running an enter frame which calls these functions at certain times. The code's...

Hey malihk,

How did you extend your stage class to your document? Basically, I am writing one master class that will run my portfolio site. The stage resizing class will be one component of that,...

Hey all,

So I'm finally taking the AS3 plunge. Put it off as long as I can. So I'm rebuilding my portfolio site in AS3, and already need to hit the books (unfortunately don't have any yet).

So...

Recently when I've been using Flash, if I switch to another application, then come back into flash, it hangs for about 5-10 seconds (beach ball spinning). If you're a flash developer you know how...

Is it possible?

Have a really simple example to test:

Top .swf sets the SO by rolling over the left box or right box. (You will see the number in the text field...

Hi jAQUAN,

I think you may have misread my post. I was able to display flash within the ThickBox. I'm just not sure how to "call" the ThickBox within flash. The method above shows how to do it in...

I'm implementing a javascript technique called ThickBox (very cool method):
http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/

This allows you to load flash files over html pages. The only problem is, they don't...

Seems simple right?

just getURL(myURL, "frameName");

The .html page should then have an iframe with code:
<iframe id="frameName" height="300" width="300"></iframe>

How come it ain't...

I actually didn't use the sendAndLoad as I'm not receiving anything in reponse. I thought send was a lighter version of that which basically did the same thing. I tried the sendAndLoad option and it...

Hey all,

I've gotta integrate a flash form into a prebuilt html form (I'd create my own with php but I don't have that option).

If I query string out the location with my broswer, ex...

I need to implement a good back/forward button/deep linking strategy for a new site, and have been researching on the best method. I will be using the swfobject.js method to embed the flash, and have...

Hey dudeqwerty,

No worries. You've been a great help with the masking issue. And I think I've figured out that I can just tie that unique id to a DB entry containing the image link, and the values...

Okay, so I've got the masking down, the image uploading down, now I'm just trying to figure out how they saved out the file so you could come back to it via a unique link. Any ideas for that one? Are...

Awesome. Even easier than I thought. Thanks.

Hey all,

I'm sure most of you flashers stumbled upon the Wedding Crashers, crash the trailer flash piece (http://www.weddingcrashersmovie.com/crashthistrailer/). I'm doing something similar, and...

are you still getting any error messages? you've named your instances right (ex: button1)

Try taking those actions and placing them on the timeline that the buttons are on, and not actually on the buttons.

Yep. Like this:

_root["movieclip"+i].textbox

Hey all,

Building something out that is Full Browser Flash by utilizing the Stage.object and embedding the .swf with the swfobject method (http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/).

Wanted to see...

Helps a ton. Never looked into the Delegate class but will do more investigating. Thanks!
