Make an object blink or flash?

Is there a way to make an object blink or start flashing in Catalyst?

Basically I just want a SWF file that can be played after I add the repeatCount tags in Flash Builder.
Here's an example from my code in Flash Builder. It's an Action sequence alternating from State1 to State2 for 5-sec. that I want to repeat forever or atleast 2 min.
I added the repeatCount tag based on your post, is it in the right place?
Thanks!
<s:Parallel id="Sequence4">
   <s:Parallel target="{customcomponent41}" repeatCount="0">
    <s:SetAction property="currentState" value="State1"/>
    <s:SetAction property="currentState" startDelay="500" value="State2"/>
    <s:SetAction property="currentState" startDelay="1000" value="State1"/>
    <s:SetAction property="currentState" startDelay="1500" value="State2"/>
    <s:SetAction property="currentState" startDelay="2000" value="State1"/>
    <s:SetAction property="currentState" startDelay="2500" value="State2"/>
    <s:SetAction property="currentState" startDelay="3000" value="State1"/>
    <s:SetAction property="currentState" startDelay="3500" value="State2"/>
    <s:SetAction property="currentState" startDelay="4000" value="State1"/>
    <s:SetAction property="currentState" startDelay="4500" value="State2"/>
    <s:SetAction property="currentState" startDelay="5000" value="State1"/>
   </s:Parallel>

Make an object vanish in Flash CS4 (AS3.0)

I have a question on how i can remove an object when two objects hit.
I have two objects on the stage overlapping.
object #1 = character_mc
object #2 = vanish_mc
I want to make it so that the object #2 (vanish_mc) will vanish once i run it.
I have this code:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, vanish);
function vanish(event:Event):void{
if(character_mc.hitTestObject(vanish_mc)){
// here the code to remove vanish_mc from the stage
~ Thank you for help and advice ~

you can always use:
vanish_mc.parent.removeChild(vanish_mc);
to remove vanish_mc from the display list.
but, you'll need to stop all streams in vanish_mc, if there are any. and, if you're not going to use vanish_mc anymore, you should ready it for gc.

How to make an object getting out of the screen ?

Hello everybody !
I am creating a game introduction with Flash pro CS6 and here's is my problem.
I want a object in my animation to leave the screen, but I dont know how to do it.
Is there for example, a way to delimited the working area, so that when I make an object go out of this area, it does not appear in my final animation ( no matter the format, .avi, .mov, spritesheets ... ) or can eventualy be "cut" ( if I make my object half inside the working arear and half outside ) ?
Is there an other way to do this ?
Thanks !

Using a mask might be one way.

Character blinking/flickering/flashing on obiee 11g dashboard page

Hi all,
I have a dashboard with one page/tab where we have taken one text item with below html script. My business requirement is to make a particular word or a text to be blinking or flashing whatever. I have used below options to achieve
1. text-decoration:blink;
2. <blink>my text<\blink> ----this is not supported by IE & mozilla browsers.
but the above options did not work, is there any work around to achieve this. Any pointer would be appreciated.

How to make the objects got even distance in the Blend?

Wondering anyone has the same experience or not? I blend 2 circles together and adjust the spine from a straight line to wave curve line by adding points and adjusting the handles of the points. The space between the objects along the spine turn to uneven after that. I tried to use the "specified distance" in the option and add more points and modify the handles again. However, all in vain. Finally, I need to expand the blend and adjust the distance of those objects manually. Any suggestions to correct the stupid way? Thanks.

There is not really any way to get even spacing in a blend when the spine path has uneven curvature. (What the Specify Distance option does is take the length of the path, and divide it by the requested distance to determine the number of blend steps, but then once it has that number, they get spread out by exactly the same algorithm that is used when the number of steps is specified by a fixed number or calculated from the color difference.)
The length of the direction handles on a spine path affects the placement of objects, with longer direction handles pushing the blend steps away from the anchor point, and shorter direction handles pulling them in towards it. This tends to make the objects more tightly spaced when the path has sharp curves, and more loosely spaced where it is flatter.
If the direction handles are of equal length, and the distance between the two direction points is the same as their length, such as occurs on a circle, then the "pulls" balance out and the spacing ends up even. But when the curvature varies, so does the spacing.
This can be used to advantage to get non-linear gradations, by making a straight line and then pulling out direction handles that lie along the line. It can also be used to make objects on an elliptical orbit appear to be spaced in perspective, since they are closer together at the sharp ends of the ellipse and farther apart at the flat sides.
Often, however, what is desired is spacing that is independent of the curvature, such as you get with scatter brushes.
It was fully intended when live blends were implemented in AI 8 that even spacing would be an option, and would indeed be the default option, with logarithmic spacing and direction-handle controlled spacing being two other choices. The direction-handle controlled spacing was just implemented first not because it was most useful (it isn't) but because, believe it or not, it is
easiest. (Points on the interior of a bezier curve are natively addressed by t-value, which is a fraction of the direction handle distance. To obtain a position that is a fraction of the path length, one must first flatten the entire path into a polygonal approximation, then find the position by adding up the lengths of the flat segments. In contrast, one can obtain a point at a given fraction of the bezier t-value without flattening the path. This is the reason, by the way, that while scatter brushes have more even spacing between objects, they do not fit as tightly to the bezier as blend steps do - they are being placed on a straight line approximation of the path instead of directly on it.) The intention was to get the easy case of t-value based spacing working, and then add the harder case that requires flattening.
It turned out that we did not have time to add the extra options for AI 8, so it shipped as is. Then Macromedia sued us over live blends because Freehand had them first and as part of the settlement we had to promise to stop enhancing them. Now that the two companies have merged, that issue is moot, so enhancing blends is now a possibility for future versions of Illustrator. (All of you who complain about the cool features that Freehand has had for years and Illustrator hasn't, as if it were perverse and intransigent of Adobe not to follow suit, might want to keep in mind that copying the features of another company's software is often not allowed.)
In the meantime, scatter brushes can be a good alternative if all your blend steps are the same, but obviously they won't work if your blended shapes are changing along the path.

How to make a fullscreen button for Flash Catalyst?

Hey everyone. I really hope someone can help me with this. How can I make a fullscreen button in Flash Professional that would make my Flash Catalyst project go fullscreen?

I'm sorry I really don't know Flash Catalyst as much as I'd like to. Designing interfaces is left up to me, no designers at my agency use Catalyst. Though this is the Flash forum so that's as much as I can tell you. I didn't know Catalyst didn't support basic scripts (I thought I read that it did).
Ultimately, for a very cheap price you can do something like go to http://www.lynda.com/ and buy a membership. Dirt cheap compared to what you get. They offer many courses on all this stuff and I'm sure your answer would lie in one of the (nicely broken up by subject) video training videos.
Just searching for Catalyst brings up a bunch of courses:
http://www.lynda.com/search?q=catalyst&x=0&y=0
edit:
For instance I watched the essential CS5.5 training and I saw in 2 minutes flat that when you click on a button you should have an "Interactions" panel that lets you do things. If they didn't put fullscreen as an interaction that's another thing but I'm just pointing out it's very easy to learn how to do all sorts of things in video training. If you do not want to purchase a membership there just find a video you think would have the info in it and I'll watch it and let you know if it told me how to do it, and how to do it.

How can I make hyperlinks work from a Flash/SWF presentation?

How do you make hyperlinks/buttons work in Flash/SWF Captivate 5.5 presentations? This did not seem to be an issue with Version 4. I cannot publish to video (i.e. mp4) or as an executable file for posting on our internal system. If it cannot be done in Flash/SWF, how else can I get buttons/hyperlinks to work? Thank you.

How to make any object self-shining?

hi,
i guess thats an easy question, but i dont know where to look for the answer.
so how to make any object self-shining like the infamous colorcube, so that one does not need to place any light?
and am I right in my assumption that doing so will reduce the need of rendering power, since lights dont have to be computed?
thanx,
Usul

I'm not sure what you mean here- if your object is lit then lighting will need to be calculated. If you don't want shapes to be lit, I think you can disable it by calling setLightingEnable(false) in their materials.

How to make an object mutable?

Can any one tell me how to make an object mutable?
Following is Class X & Y?
class Y
public static void main(String arg[]) {
X a1=new X();
Object a=a1.get();
System.out.println(a.toString());
a1.set(a);
System.out.println(a.toString());
class X implements Serializable
public Object get(){
return new Object();
public synchronized void set(Object o)
o=null;
In my class Y when i say
a1.set(a);
I want local Object a of main method should be nullified.
Can it be possible if yes what is the way or code to be applied so that
my next a.toString() statement will give me NullpointerException.

Isn't it more accurate to say that object references are passed by value?
OP -- Basically you can't to what you want to do. When you "pass an object" as a method parameter, what you're really passing is a copy of the reference that points to the object. You now have two refs pointing to the same object--one in the caller and one in the method being executed. Setting either of those refs to null does NOT affect the object itself, and does NOT affect the other ref. It just means that the ref that's been set to null no longer points to any object.
If you want the called method to make a change that the caller can see, you need to either 1) return a value from the method, 2) encapsulate the object to be changed as a member of new class, or 3) pass the object to be changed as the single element of an array. I would STRONGLY recommend against (3) as a way to simulate pass by reference. Better to examine your design and determine whether (1) or (2) more closely matches what you're really trying to accomplish.

How to make an object distributed across multiple jres?

Hi,
We used cache data mechanism for performance tuning. It will store data in static variable (Hashtable) and get initialized when app starts . We are using IPlanet Application Server and
Using 6 KJS engines. This object ( Hashtable) is not distributed across all JRES.It has to reinitialize data again when request goes to any other KJS.
We avoid sharing data in session and request, as data is huge.
Can any one help us how to make this object distributed across all KJSs?
Thanks in advance.

I'd suggest that a better approach is to implement this as an Entity Bean and accessed from Session bean and using Value Objects to return the data subsets.

How to make an object of inner class and use it ?

Hi tecs,
In my JSF application i have a need to make an inner member class in one of my bean class.
How can i make the object of this class?(what should be the entry in faces-config)
And there are text box and check box (in the JSP) associated with the elements of this inner class. What should be the coding in JSP so that elements in the JSP can be linked with the corresponding members of the inner class ?
Plz help.
Thnx in advance.

Hi
I am havin 10 text boxes in my application.
But out of 10 , 3 will be always together(existence of one is not possible without the other two.)
Now i want to create a vector of objects ( here object will consist of the value corresponding to these three boxes),there can be many elements in this vector.
So i m thinking to make an inner class which have three String variables corresponding to these text boxes that exists together.
What can b done ?

Make an object look transparent in photoshop, low opacity

Hi. Using PS CS4 on Windows XP.
Below I have an image on the left with apples showing 4 that are transparent (opacity set to 50%). I am wondering if there is a way to make the apple look transparent, but not transparent to the others so that the apples look more like they do on the right (not going through each other). I understand these are completely solid, but I was wondering if there is a way to make an object look like it's transparent, but not be able to go through another object. This was really hard for me to explain so please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.

Of course I figure it out after I write this post even though I have been trying to figure it out for a couple days.
What I did was put a Levels adjustment layer (dragged the middle slider) on those apples that were fading away after putting the opacity back to 100%.
The below picture is what I was trying to achieve:
If anyone else has another solution, I'd be glad to hear it.
Thank you!

How to make Shape3D object translucent

Hi,
How to make Shape3D object (like Box, Cylinder) translucent? I tried the below option but the box is not becoming translucent at all.
final PhongMaterial redMaterial = new PhongMaterial();
redMaterial.setSpecularColor(Color.rgb(10, 255, 15, opacity));
redMaterial.setDiffuseColor(Color.rgb(10, 255, 15, opacity));
final Box box = new Box(width,height,depth);
box.setMaterial(redMaterial);
When opacity is 1, the color of the box will be Green, when it is 0 the color becomes black.
Is there any way the box can be made translucent?

There is at least one unresolved issue concerning PhongMaterial's transparency: RT-28874.
I'm neither able to get it working properly. My red Sphere also fades to black while varying the opacity value from 1.0 to 0.0.
