• Access to video clip inside a button with colorTransform problem

  I need help applying the color transform function to a clip that exists inside a button.  I want to keep the button a button (as opposed to making a clip as well with the onclick event handlers and stationary) I already have built-in behaviors and would rather not recreate.  I have the path to the object as:
  mcVideoControls.stopButColor.transform.colorTransform = stop_LightColorTransform;
  (stopButColor is the name of the object, I'm trying to change the color of the)
  It works fine but I need to make the color of other objects inside the button object and when I try to access the objects inside the key actionscript code does not seem to connect.  The button instance name is "btnStop", but it does not work:
  mcVideoControls.btnStop.stopButColor.transform.colorTransform = stop_LightColorTransform;
  either the fact:
  btnStop.stopButColor.transform.colorTransform = stop_LightColorTransform;

  Can someone tell me how to use colorTransform on video Clips inside the buttons.  Is there another way to indicate this path?  I use CS4 and actionscript 3.

  the attached screenshots show the relationship of how objects are incorporated.
  VideoControls_mc = mcVideoControls
  butBg = stopButColor
  Stop_btn = btnStop

  When stopButColor is moved within btnStop it is more accessible by colorTransform.  Could he be wrong about something else?

  

  

  There is no need to ever use a simple button.

• Need help duplicate Movie Clip problem

  Here's my problem:
  First of all, I have a movie that loads an external SWF that contains several images (each of the different "module" for a product)
  Each of these modules is named "module", more the number of frame (the frame one its "module1")
  
  So in the other film, which takes care of this, I used the script to load:
  var moduleloader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
  moduleloader.loadClip ("PLCbuildermodules.swf", _root.modules);
  
  So... the real clip (called "modules") I added this script:
  {We (Press)}
  moduleName = eval ("module" + _root.modules._currentframe);
  {if(this._name=="modules")}
  i ++ ;
  duplicateMovieClip (modulename, "OxygisNouveau" + i, this.getNextHighestDepth ())
  startDrag (modulename, true);
  }
  }
  
  Now the problem is basically when reproduce you them, he hangs out fine like its supposed to... but when you click again, it duplicates again. I tried to counter this with the if(this._name=="modules") {script, but without success...}
  
  I am sure that the problem is that the clip be duplicated in the parent movie clip. I just can't understand how to reproduce them outside the clip parent!
  
  I would appreciate ANY help!
  
  Thanks in advance!

• Make a group of clipping with a compound path

  So, as of today, I am new to scripting for Illustrator, I use the ExtendScript Toolkit. However, I am not new to my own script solutions and I do not have any experience with JavaScript.

  What I'm trying to do is the following: for all selected items-> duplicate selected item and make a group of simple clipping with it

  What I'm left with visually does not change the picture, but gives me a lot of clipped colored areas that I then can I change in isolated mode, which allows me good shading faster and better. That the doing by hand takes hours on some pictures, it would take a second with a script.

  The script itself is already works for normal PathItems. As evident in the title, as soon as I have to apply the same thing to CompundPathItems things stop working. My question is a bit like this old thread [problem with clipping path transparent], but I couldn't find a solution because I get different behavior.

  When I run the same script that works perfectly with the normal PathItems with CompoundPathItems I get this: 9046 error: the top element in the group must be a path element to create a mask

  Well, it's a problem. There is absolutely no difference between making a clipping with a simple path mask and a compound path in the GUI. Frankly reference guide not helped with this problem at all, the only thing that I learned from it is that the CompoundPathItem object is an attribute of cutting, but those included PathItems.

  Here's what I have so far:

  
  

  	If ([i] selected. TypeName == 'PathItem') {}
  	newGroup var = doc.groupItems.add ();
  	copy is selected [i] .duplicate (newGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);.
  	Selected [i] .moveToBeginning (newgroup);
  	newGroup.clipped = true;
  	}

  As I said, this part is exactly what it is supposed to do for normal paths.

  For CompoundPaths, I use this work around.

  	If ([i] selected. TypeName == 'CompoundPathItem') {}
  	newGroup var = doc.groupItems.add ();
  	copy is selected [i] .duplicate (newGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);.
  	Selected [i] .moveToBeginning (newgroup);
  	compoundItems = selected [i] .pathItems;
  	compoundIndex = compoundItems.length;
  	for (f = 0; f < compoundIndex; f ++) {compoundItems [f] .clipping = true ;}
  	var lineList = new array (10);
  	for (l = 0; l < lineList.length; l ++) {lineList [l] = new Array (I * 10 + 50, ((i-5) ^ 2) * 5 + 50) ;}}
  	newPath = app.activeDocument.pathItems.add ();
  	newPath.setEntirePath (lineList);
  	newPath.moveToBeginning (newGroup);
  	newGroup.clipped = true;
  	newPath.remove ();

  Mind you, this workaround works in so far that it ignores that annoying error and evil and composite clipping path also works with the only problem being that created composite clipping path as it is always displayed in its original colours in the layers section and is always selectable. When I lock the composite clipping path I can work with it, but still...

  So the question is, what am I missing here? Surely, there must be a good way to do this.

  app.executeMenuCommand ()? That is me away so far, might be just the right thing. I will definitely take a look, now just to find a ref about it, because unfortunately official documents Ref I do not mention this command. Any place with a list of possible commands?

  Ah, also of course I only do for the isolation mode. If you care to hear the background, it is here:

  As I said it's for photos of shading, I'm working on. I repeated and tried through a bunch of techniques. For example, gradient mesh on my first few true works. Now these cracks don't do well with complex shapes, which previously I mitigated by using a simple square or rectangle gradient mesh and using the original form as a color clipping mask. It worked, but it was a huge field of work.

  After a lot of attempts that I went to the use of simple gradients as a background for the form, and then I do the shading freehand with the blob Brush tool, using a graphic style and filters to make it look like to the right. Is better, but do it right all the clipping masks takes me much more time than anything else.

  Now the problem is that shading is not supposed to cross the lines, it's impossible to do correctly without messing up the order, either using clipping masks, where the script. Because you know, if you use a form of the task with a strong Gaussian blur near the lines, you'll find yourself with stuff on both sides. If you do not start close to the line that the shading will be not look right if the darker the shade needs to be close to the line. And that's where magic of clipping masks.

  And finally, here's an example of how I work with the script and the result:

  After that I drew a sketch, adjust the line widths and at the neatness I turn the paths to sketch the lines and then turn them into a live paint Group (which would ruin the line widths, unless you put the paths in first contour lines).

  With this live paint group need me a few minutes to color my piece dish. Then I develop the live paint group, in case of doubt, spend a few more minutes to make transparent traces of all regions, I need the shadow in one piece, and then I select all areas and use my script to activate the neat clipping masks. Then I can click on any field, enter the isolation mode, and go up one level, so I'm in the appropriate group, where I can shadow freely without the problem beyond the lines.

  At the end which allows me to apply shading complex and comprehensive, without wasting time to get there.

  PS: well, I just found out that draw inside is really close to what I want to do, and oddly enough, it produces the same Visual discrepancy with transparent traces that produces my script. I'll take a closer look that, while my script is a little more than just the stuff of clipping mask, so maybe I'll go for a hybrid solution. Everything that makes for a better workflow.

• How can I add a stroke inside a compound path?

  Hello

  I have a problem, making adjustments to my way/form composed, as I would expose you the inside of the form of a trait - but this seems not possible that the line always surrounds the outside too.

  So: I have a simple rectangle with a white background, with a die cut window rectangle hole by using the action of compound path, so you can see the layers under. Now I want to caress the hole window, but NOT outside all of the rectangle. I'd be happy to split the top shape and I tried various options such as split, edit in isolation mode, extend (the button is grey), all the Scouts - but none of them allow me to do only inside a part of the path.

  Anyone know how I can do this? I work in CS5 and CS6.

  Thank you!

  Alexander,

  To freely use things on the external path, it would be more convenient for:

  (1) object > Compound Path > Release.

  (2) copy the internal path in front of you and hide the copy,

  (3) change the colour of the original inner lane black (black if you the Document Color Mode is RGB RGB) or white if he isn't already, then select the two traces of origin and in the transparency palette dialog box click make opacity mask, with unchecked Clip and mask Invert unchecked or checked (for the inner path black or white) ,

  (4) apply any effect desired in the hidden path.

  (5) show the copy of the inner lane and the fill set to None and the race as you wish.

  (4 and 5) can be done whenever you want, and do not hide the copy in 2), make sure you use the right one for the opacity mask.

• Problem by controlling a clip inside a clip

  Hello

  I have a problem in the control of a clip within a clip

  In fact, I have a clip on the stage. Inside of a clip that I have 4 frame. In the third frame I movie clip called "clickicon". If a condition on the main frame is triggered should controll the clip on the third frame (clickicon) making it to Stop in the second picture

  If the code to do the inner movieclip go to section 2 is not in the framework where the innder movieclip is then a way to solve it is to have the inner movieclip in all settings, but turn visible/invisible to the need.

  So in all the frames, you can visit in the external movieclip, you can have a command to make the invisible inner movieclip. In the frame where you want visible internal movieclip is where you set its visible property to be true.

• Problems with video clip inside another MC button

  Hi all
  So I solved a problem earlier thanks to this site, but she has created a different problem. I could find a way to get an external text to load into a text inside a music box. However, the problem is I want to have a series of buttons also inside the MC which will change, delivery, the text in the (loading area in the text to another file). I'm running problems, however, because I can't figure out how to get the movie clip buttons to work.
  
  A short brief on the installer. I have a master.swf that loads in splash.swf (menu animation and splash) and about.swf (a paragraph loaded when you click on 'about' in the navi bar). When about.swf opens, I got a piece of film clip and text and the submenu appear after 20 images.
  
  This is the code that I placed on frame 1 of the about.swf:
  
  [PHP] boxmovie.btn_about2.onPress = function () {}
  trace ("button has been pressed");
  _level0.loadText (loadedInfo, ' vars/about2.txt');
  } [PHP]
  
  You can download the files
  goldinroute.com/MacGregor/Help.zip
  
  Any help would be appreciated!

  I guess what to expect, I hang on the file... OK, did you give the button the instance name 'more'? ("btn_about2") is not there in the file I have. Then, copy the following code must be IN the MC boxmovie, guess where... of 23 frame, because you cannot assign code to an object that doesn't exist or has not been instantiated, the chronology. so it should read:

  btn_about2.onPress - function() {}
  _level0.loadText (loadedInfo, ' vars/about2.txt');
  }

  (btw - if you reverse the way in which you name the inclinometer, Flash will give you a list of the methods of the class, when you type a '.' later, as in "about2_btn" to instead, just a thought for you, even with as "boxmoive_mc" for example ;))

• Delete a very small clip inside a big video

  Newbie here again. So what I'm trying to figure out now is it - I imported a large video clip on the timeline and in the clip is a very short time, maybe two seconds, I want to change. I've "marked" the beginning and the end points (by clicking on the icon "Add marker"), and I was able to get the sharp red arrows when I have fluctuated between them, but I don't know how to cut. With Corel Video Studio, there is an option 'cut' to separate a video clip, but I don't see that here.

• Button in a Movie clip inside a part of the pane scroll - AS2

  I have a scrollpane component instance named myScroller in a swf file.  It is related to a movieclip named media.  Inside the movieclip are buttons that don't work when they are inside the scrollpane.  A button called "morris" so I tried to put the code on the timeline for the movieclip.

  this.morris.onRelease = function (): Void {}

  _level8._visible = true;

  _level8.gotoAndStop (2);

  }

  It doesn't work - I tried to put it on the main timeline - above the scrollpane.

  myScroller.morris.onRelease = function (): Void {}

  _level8._visible = true;

  _level8.gotoAndStop (2);

  }

  Specific help would be appreciated!

• How to get to the next section in a clip inside another video clip

  I have a master clip that my entire Web page is located, called masterMC.  If I double click on it, I've got another clip from movie called transitionMC.  I want to advance the timeline in masterMC when transitionMC ends of reading, but not at the root level.  I want to move the MasterMC, not the root timeline.  How can I do this?

  That's what I used:

  Stop();

  If (MovieClip (root) .currentFrame<>

  MovieClip (root) .nextFrame ();

  }

  I replaced (root) with parent.  It has worked well.  Thank you!

  The following text uses the names of generic instance according to your description, so you'll have to change the name to agree with your design.

• targeting a clip inside another video clip

  IM currently trying to target 2 frame and a movieclip in this image.  This method works.  But now im trying to target a movieclip within a clip.

  This code works by trying to target a movieclip.

  cal.onPress = function() {}
  gotoAndPlay (2);
  message.total = unit1;
  }

  How can I modify this code to find an another movieclip in the message of movieclip?

  Thank you

  It will not work if you have a movieclip with instance name 'message' that contains another movieclip with instance name "message1" which contains something (perhaps a variable) named total.

  What happens when you use...

  cal.onPress = function() {}
  gotoAndPlay (2);
  message.Message1.total = unit1;

  trace (message.message1.total);
  }

• Duplicate video Clip on another level?

  I'm trying to take a clip on level 8 of my film and place a copy in a purchase order that loads on level 10 and I can't make it work. Here's my code? I tried the bitmapdata too and I can't make it work either.
  
  
  duplicateMovieClip ("_level8.designStage", "imageHolder2", 99);
  
  I am creating an application design and using masks and the bitmapData will work for printing. I would just create a jpeg with the bitmapData class and save and then reload it into the order form.
  
  Bottom line is that I need this clip to appear in exactly the same higher so I can order it and then put the image in the basket as well.

  It was not a slam to your abilities, it seems to me that every time I bring it up, which is the choice that people go to. Anyway, Yes, you can move the 'window' of the draw using a matrix. You can move, scale, and or turn it in fact.

  The code below should point you in the right direction. But you will always have the problem that if _level10 does not exist, you will be able to simply attach a bitmap image. You will need to load the content in there first to create. There is no constructor for _levels!
