Hi I would like to tint a movieclip with the tweener class. This is how I tint the mc without the tween: var c:Color=new Color(); c.setTint(0xff0000, 0.8); clouds.transform.colorTransform=c; it works but I would like to give it a smooth transition that's why I would use tweener. Anyone have an idea? ...
Is there a simple way to have a preloader that just traces the percentage and then goes on to the main game? Just as simple as possible, so that I can add in the progress bar/logo animation after. I tried the thing at mindless-labs, but its really complicated, it seems kind of hackerish, I don't really understand what it's doing and it u...

So what I am curious about is if it is possible and how, to have an embedded video and capture the thumbnail. There are other sites that share video and I'd like to get the thumbnails from the embedded videos, but they use flash video players to show the video and likely use flashvars to pull up the right video. I appreciate any help h...

I have reasonable experience with PHP, CSS, and javascript/jquery/ajax. I'm taking my first steps learning Flex/Flash/Actionscript and it's already striking me that using flash/SWF could solve many of my problems. For example: I won't have to worry much about javascript availability e.g. handling the form submit twice like I do now, on...
Hi, I am trying to dynamically load a progressive jpeg using actionscript 3. To do so, I have created a class called Progressiveloader that creates a URLStream and uses it to streamload the progressive jpeg bytes into a byteArray. Everytime the byteArray grows, I use a Loader to loadBytes the byteArray. This works, to some extent, becau...

Jaycut is a flash-based online video editing tool. It's surprisingly capable, what I'm wondering is how they achieve this in Flash/Flex. They allow mixing of video, audio and applying transitions and that seems a lot to do in AS3. I wondered if perhaps the mixing is done on the server when you click "preview video", but even then it stil...
I've got a MovieClip containing several child clips (images and text). I'm trying to scale this parent clip very slowly - from 102% down to 98% - this works, however the child movie clips are all scaling a bit jerkily - like they're trying to stick to pixels or something. What's the cure for this? The scaling is done by using a motion ...
