How do I make a completely Transparent Button in Flash Builder

Hello, I am building an app and need a completely transparent button, Ive tried making one but nothing would happen when you clicked on it.
Thanks for the help.

Try this alpha="0.001"
Also add useHandCursor="true" and buttonMode="true" if you wish to have the hand cursor appear on hover.
example  x="10" y="10" width="169" height="54" label="Button" alpha="0.001" useHandCursor="true" buttonMode="true"

  • How to make a completely transparent button in Flash Builder

    I am making a mobile application, and I am wondering how to make a completely transparent button. I've tried using
    <s:Button x="-5" y="0" width="410" height="1504"
                                    skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TransparentNavigationButtonSkin" click="navigator.pushView(Sun)"/>
    But it still has one line on the side. I need a way to make it completely transparent.

  • How to link an image to a button in Flash Builder 4

    I am new to Flash Builder 4 and have trouble to link an image to a button in Flash Builder 4.
    For example, I want an image of a round green button to replace the default retangle button in Flash Builder 4.
    Can anyone help me up?
    Thanks

    You could also use the mx:Image control and just add a click event handler:
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
            xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
            xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
            width="500" height="400">
        <fx:Script>
            <![CDATA[
                import mx.controls.Alert;
                protected function image1_clickHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
                    Alert.show("You clicked the image");
            ]]>
        </fx:Script>

  • How do i make psd files transparent?

    How do i make psd images transparent when I drag and drop the layer onto the stage on flash cs6?
    For  example the way iv been doing it up until now was saving as a psd then  going to file import to library on flash. This is very very time  consuming and would be much easyer if i can just drag and drop the  photoshop layer onto the stage, but the problem is that the image gets a  white box around it and isn't transparent when i do that.
    Is there an option in photoshop or flash to fix this and make the background trasnparent?

    Reminds me of Yoshi from Mario Bros
    I know what you'd like to do but as the first reply mentioned, you can't do that. Until Photoshop is updated to copy with transparency intact to the Windows clipboard, you won't be able to do that. The reason I linked and showed a screenshot of the software GIMP is to prove that it's a Photoshop limitation, not a limitation of Flash or the Windows clipboard.
    Knowing that fact, there is no way for you to copy/paste drag/drop from Photoshop directly into Flash.
    Cartoon animating is essentially identical to how most games work. You create one large master image that contains all the possible variations of your subject (a face, a car, etc) and import that into a game. You do the same when animating, only you're keeping them all separate instead of one image.
    Knowing your experience with Flash is small and growing, I'm not going to make the most optimal recommendation. I'll stick to 2 things I mentioned before but elaborate on them.
    1) Save your assets to actual PNGs with transparency, then import into Flash.
    The reason I'd recommend this the most is because of Flash's update function (which I will explain) and it can be automated a bit (also will be explained).
    So I grabbed a Yoshi sprite sheet and say I made a new pose as you mentioned. In Photoshop I'd then select and copy this new pose alone, with transparency:
    As you know, once you do that you can bring up a 'New Image' dialog and it will already have the size of your copied pixels (with trimmed transparency):
    You can see the size is correct and the preset is clipboard. After that you just paste your new image in and turn off the background to gain transparency. Then you save it out as a separate file. I always use Save For Web for a pinch of file size optimization and overall control:
    Again, I realize this is a lot more than you want to do, but all of this can be automated which will be explained after making it virtually a single button push operation.
    Now we have the image as a separate new PNG image with transparency intact. This image should be imported into Flash's library:
    Now you both have a physical separate copy of this pose in a PNG file (which can be useful for many reasons) and Flash can use that file with it's built in update command for very quick changes.
    Now say you touch up a pose a bit. I'll make it really obvious and change the entire hue. You make your changes in Photoshop, follow the same process (even making size changes to the original image), eventually overwriting the PNG you created for that pose:
    Now in Flash, all you need to do is use the Update function. Right-click on the image in your library, select Update. Because this is a file with a physical location, that is all that is needed to change the image in Flash:
    The power in this is if you make sweeping changes to dozens or hundreds of PNGs, you can do this in one command in Flash. Select all the changed images and hit Update and all your changes will be done at once. You can't do things like this when you copy and paste directly into Flash.
    That said, almost all of the steps above can be automated using Photoshops Actions panel. No need to reinvent the wheel, Actions are fully explained here:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7448a.h tml
    I would recommend recording the action after you make your marquee selection around what you want to save as a PNG. Record right up to Save For Web and stop there. Then in the future you press the hotkey you assign and it will extract your selection, open a new document, paste it in, disable the background for transparency and bring you to the dialog you can name the image in. That's pretty easy and automated. Then just import into Flash and enjoy the benefits.
    2) Use Photoshop to create the assets, then a different program to copy/paste into Flash
    Not ideal to need 2 programs, however if you really want to copy and paste directly into Flash, this is the way to go. Get any program that can read the PSD file format, open your PSD in it. If you have enough RAM this really shouldn't be an issue (PS and GIMP side by side, same file open):
    As you make changes to the PSD, just hit reload or revert in your "copy with transparency" supporting program, copy what you need, paste into Flash:
    I'll explain some of the advantages of the previous workflow if you'd like but I think this is enough information overload for now.

  • How can I make a page transparent in InDesign CS4?

    Hello and thank you all for your help in advance!
    I would like to make a page transparent in InDesign.
    When the magazine is printed it will be an overlay page with font printed on it where you can still see the image underneath. I was wondering if this is possible.
    I'm not quite sure if it has a technical name to it or not so I uploaded a picture of what I'm speaking about to Tinypic.
    http://i46.tinypic.com/29m1vk3.jpg
    (routes and lines on top on the semi-transparent page, map on next)
    Thanks for your help!
    Nora

    will these subjects actually be printed on separate pages or do you want to overlay some images on one page with type on the same page?
    If the former, add and use layers; if the latter design one page and save it as a pdf. Place that pdf on a lower level layer, lock the layer, and work on a higher layer.

  • How do I make a complete backup of iTunes before removing iTunes software?

    Hi!
    I am not able to update my iTunes software. If I try to download only the new files and install them manually, it does not work.
    Apple Support sent me a dead link, so that was not helpful.
    I think I have to remove the iTunes software, and then try to install the new iTunes software.
    How do I make sure that my music, apps, books, videos, podcasts, iPhone backup etc are backed up and able to reinstall when I have installed the new software?
    Anyone?
    Dag Tore

    I found the solution to my problem by reading some of the discussions.
    I was m\not able to automatically or manually updating my iTunes software.
    By doing this I solved my problem:
    Access Control Panel
    Select Programs
    Select iTunes
    Hit Repair
    This solved my problems, and iTunes was updated..

  • How do I make the stage transparent when published?

    Hi. I'm new to flash and want to work towards making 2D animations.
    I want to take a simple published animation and put it into SONY VEGAS. However, I only want the character (I've created a symbol for it) and not the big white stage. My goal is to get the animated character on top of all my sony vegas layers, but the stage is blocking all the other layers. Is there some kind of setting that can make the stage transparent when publishing as a SWF?

    hi
    you need to add some markup to your html:
    add <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> to your <object> tag and add wmode="transparent" to the <embed> tag
    the feature isn't supported by all browsers and it may cause your swf to slow down a bit if there's a lot going on visually.

  • How do I make a complete backup of my system?

    hi all,
    everytime I try to do a full backup using any tool I get some persmission denied errors, even using sudo. What I want to have is a full backup of my arch laptop so that when I mess it up or something like that, I can recover the ENTIRE system, not just the home folder or certain directories.
    What is the best tool for doing this?
    I have access to a server at work with a lot of storage space (1 TB) so the best way would something remote, I have tried rsync but either I don't know how to use it or doesn't work to do full systems backup (only folders).
    Also, which folders should I exclude? I know I have to exclude /proc and /tmp, but some people also say to exclude /dev and /var/log so I am a little confused.
    Thanks for the help!

    I have used Larch to create a boo-table image of my system and put it on disk. I would read around that. It's basically a build system, you make a directory on your machine and build the framework for another basic Arch system and define what extra packages you want and some of the repository settings etc. Then you create that install and make an overlay, which is any files you want, like your home folder on your system, as well as files from /etc/ like rc.conf, to make sure your system is not only downloaded the packages, but also configured to use everything right, like in the daemons array, or group and sudo settings and such. Then this is turned into and .iso which can be burned to CD or DVD, and then booted live, and even installed, at a later date. As well as building a system in this way, you can have it work on your current active system.
    My only criticism of the system is that it takes up quite a bit of memory to copy files over to the overlay and basically create another Arch install inside a directory, which then gets used to generate the .iso and put on a disk. So I keep deleting the overlays and duplicated files to free up memory again. But if you have plenty of space, just leave it and it's faster in the future.
    Most of the scripts are command line, that do all this, and it can take a bit of reading to understand how this process of building a live system works and it's a bit heavy at first, but there is also a GUI available with tabs and such to guide you through the process.
    I use it all the time and think it's brilliant.
    Cheers,
    Ben.
    [EDIT] If you had access to your server you might be able build the Arch System Directory to be "Larch-ifyed" (which you would make as close as possible to your running system) on that, and then generate the .iso and hold it there too, as well as on disk, so you could have remote access to the backup .iso from numerous locations.

  • URGENT! How do I create a vertical scroll button in Flash CS6 for online banners?

    Hi, I am creating Flash online banners and the disclaimer needs to open as a vertical scroll banner once the mouse touches the 'x close' button where the words 'Disclaimer' is stated.
    How do I create a vertical scroll button including text?
    I am using Flash CS6.

    Hi Babaa,
    sry for the lateness of my reply.
    I would simply make a button that when clicked, displays a layer containing your disclaimer text. The discliamer text would be inside a Movie Clip (MC) for ease of controlling.
    the MC then contains a text field which has a scrollable field. as the user scrolls through you can then display a "close" button to close out the disclaimer MC.
    If you still need the work done feel free to email or PM me here and we can discuss the job further.
    Regards

  • How to update the PHP Class Service back in Flash Builder 4

    I'm not sure if my post title makes any sense or not but let me explain.  I've been working on an application in Flash Builder 4 using the ZendFramework and PHP services and everything is work great. the problem I have is after I make changes to my services PHP class (edit php file that has my functions in it), how to I updated those functions in the Flash builder application?
    For example, I needed to pass a second object into one of my function in my PHP class and after I edited the file and saved it, I don't see the changes in the Flash builder 4 application. Is there a button I can run to update the PHP class back in Flash Builder?
    Thanks,

    How do you use Flash Builder to regenerate the code for the same PHP service I connected to prior? When I first connected to the PHP service Flash Builder automatically built a package with all kinds of actionscript functions in it. I added a function to my PHP Class file server side and I need help on how to update the package back in Flex to see my new function. Can anyone help me??

  • How to display rich content with URL in adobe flash builder and flex for mobile apps?

    Hi,
      In Apple IOS SDK, I used the WebView control to display the rich text with Bullets, different font style, images within the text and the URLs also within the text as HTML content.
    Clicking on the URLs automatically opens the respective webpage in Safari.
    In Adobe Flash Builder, I don't see any control straight away equivalent to Apple WebView control.
    How to implement the same using adobe and flex?

    Thanks for your reply, its nice to know its not just me.
    the error i got when submitting to the App store where due to native support for IPHONE 5 which is now mandatory (from May 1st), looking around the internet the common soloution seemed to be upgrading to Air 3.7.
    The strange erorrs on 3.7 revolve around compiling a standard / production build (fast build works fine)
    the error is always the same (snippet shown below):
    Error occurred while packaging the application:
    Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
      "__ZN7avmplus8Debugger9debugLineEi", referenced from:
          __ZN7avmplus9MethodEnv9debugExitEPNS_13CallStackNodeE in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
          __ZN7avmplus11BaseExecMgr22debugEnterExitWrapperNEPNS_9MethodEnvEiPj in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
    I have completly failed to work out why, but my gut feeling is its something to do with how the mac is compiling the code in standard build and unable to find a library it needs.

  • How can I overlay AIR 3.5 SDK in Flash Builder 4.7?

    I'm trying to overlay the new Air 3.5 sdk in Flash Builder 4.7 but the option to use specifed sdk is unavailable in the project preferences. What is the solution here?

    Hi,
    Can you please let me know whether you have overlaid it on Win/Mac?
    When you have created the mobile project what does app.xml show? for example if you have 3.5 overlaid you should be able to see something like this in app.xml
    <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.5">
    For overlaying AIR 3.5 SDK on Flex SDK 4.6 locally following the instructions mentioned in the below url and then create a Flex Mobile project using that SDK.

  • How to use Flex SDK 4.0.0 in Flash Builder Burrito?

    Hello!
    How can I create a project with Flash Builder Burrito that builds against the Flex 4.0 SDK? I tried to copy the 4.0.0 sdk folder over from my Flash Builder 4 installation, but if I create a new project in burrito, it still offers me only choice between 3.5 and 4.5

    Did you configure it in Window / Preferences / Flash Builder / Installed SDKs?

  • How to renew your self-signed certificate p12 with Flash Builder

    I have been using a self-signed certificate (generated using Adobe Flash Builder 4.7) for my Android app. The app is live on Google Play market but the certificate is going to expire soon, and I know if I create new certificate and update my app, existing Android users will not be able to auto-update the app (as the App's Signature has been changed). I would like to know how can we re-new the self-signed Certificate .p12 with Flash Builder?
    Thank you very much.

    After doing my research about the self-signed certificate created by Adobe Flash Builder , I realized that was my mistake to think that the certificate would expire soon. I doubled check the expiration date of my self-signed certificate and the date was set to 35 years after I generated it using flash builder 4.7 (which is very safe).
    For anyone who wants to check the self-signed .p12 expiration date you follow the instruction from this link:

  • How can I make a movable transparent main window (HTML, not FLEX)?

    Hi all-
    I'm new to AIR and coming up to speed quickly. I got a sample application up and running right away and was able to give it a transparent main window so that the corners are rounded and there is no window title bar.
    However, I can't figure out how to make it so the user can drag the application around their desktop when they click on it.
    I've seen a few FLEX examples of this but I have to work in HTML.
    Does anyone know how to set this up in HTML?
    Thanks,
    Nicholas

    "Works pretty much as I'd expect, except clicking and dragging one of the child controls in my window (e.g. a button) moves the whole window as well."
    Most user interface events (mouse up, down, etc.) "bubble" up from child elements to their parents. Since you are listening on the body element, your handler is called for every mouse down in the page since the body is the highest parent in the document.
    You can either:
    Attach the event listener directly to the element used to drag the window.
    Check the event target property to check whether the target of the event (the element moused) is a drag control.
