Masking & Attach movie

I need some guidance with a small flash project.
I have a magazine page, with a small area of text.
I need to create a zoomed in version that text. I want to
display the whole page on the screen, but when the small area of
text is moused over, a box appears to the right of the small text
(mask) with a larger version of that image behind the mask. When
the user moves their mouse from top to bottom of that small area of
text, the image next to it (larger and readable) moves with it.
The most important (and the part I can't figure out) is how
to "pop-up" that click and remove it when the area is not moused
over.
Can anyone assist me?

I found this:

Tutorial
and it does pretty darn close to what I want.

  • Compressing "masked' quicktime movie-mask has ragged edges and white areas

    I have been masking quicktime movies with quicktime pro. I get a good-looking masked quicktime movie. But when I try to export to mp4 or other file types, the mask looks terrbile, the edges are ragged and some previously masked areas are now white. HELP!

    i tried apple 1, 2, and 3 for actual, double, and full size, always a white border in full screen. at actual size the side borders are bigger than the top and bottom, double and full it's a crisp 1 pixel grey line all the way around. i made the mask file 481x641 and 482x642 with no changes at all, all of them cut way inside the edges of the picture to avoid that border.
    strange part is at full size (more than double size for sure with these files) the border is exactly 1 pixel, not scaled up to 2.x pixels like you would expect if it was in the movie, not just the player sucking with masks. guess i'll hope someone notices and fixes in a future release. just like with the h.264 encoding border with masks. i guess the white border all the way around is better than a neon green one on the right side which i get with h.264
    /someone not testing QT with simple rectangular masks it seems
    here's a screenshot of my movie in fullscreen at double size so you can see the whole border:

  • Masked QuickTime movies not displaying correctly...

    Hi there,
    I'm still a relative novice with Keynote, but am quickly learning that this is a seriously great application! I haven't encountered any real problems so far, except the one I'm about to describe - and I'd really appreciate any help you could give me with it!
    Basically, I've made a masked QuickTime movie in the shape of a circle (as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=QuickTime+Player/7.0/en/c3qt18.html) and then placed this onto one of my slides in Keynote. In the slide design view everything looks fine; the the movie is visible as a circular poster frame (and even plays as it should using the controls in the QuickTime inspector panel). However, when I go to "play" my slide it displays the movie as a rectangle. Obviously, the masking is somehow getting lost somewhere.
    Is this a bug with Keynote, or am I just missing something?!
    Many thanks in advance.

    the way my presentation is organised requires the movie to move in and out of the slide
    The final effect you want might still be doable, as long as you don't think of the builds as having to take place on the same slide. If I understand what you mean by the movie moving in and out of the slide, you could have the opening still from the movie as an image, masked to the shape you want, move in on one slide, then undetectably transition to the slide with the cutout and movie underneath, then, when the movie is done, transition to a new slide with the final movie image as a still, again masked to the same shape, and have this move out. It would take three slides instead of one, but you should be able to achieve the end result you want.

  • Attaching .MOV to email

    When I attach a .MOV to my email it's coming up in duplicate and very small. This hasn't always been the case. I've sent many .MOV through email with no problem till now. Any help would be appreciated.

    I believe you posted in the wrong forum. The iPhone can not attach MOV files to emails.

  • Attach movie - broken buttons - targeting

    Let's say i have a simple movie clip called "navBar" and in
    that movie clip I have nested another movie clip called
    "green_btn". I have assigned linkage to both clips the first as
    "navBar" and the second "green_btn". It is removed from the stage
    and saved in the library with proper linkage.
    Now let's say I return to the stage and create a "holder" for
    my attached movie. I leave it blank, I call it "myHolder_mc" and
    assign it linkageand give it a instance name of "myHolder_mc" and
    move the cross hairs to the upper right hand corner.
    Then I create a red button movie clip on the stage of a red
    circle called "red_btn", and give it a instance name of "red_btn".
    I will use red_btn.onRelease to load up the attachedMovie. When I
    press the red_btn, the "navBar" movie attaches fine.
    OK, thanks for sticking with me this far - HERE IS THE
    PROBLEM - I want to be able to target the "green_btn" that is
    located in the original navBar and assign it a onRelease function.
    I can't seem to be able to target it, and have tried to find the
    right target path, but can't seem to do it correctly.
    So here is the code so far that isn't working
    red_btn.onRelease = function(){
    myHolder_mc.attachMovie("navBar","navBar", 0)
    // the green_btn is nested inside of the navBar movieClip
    myHolder_mc.navBar.green_btn.onRelease = function(){
    trace("hello")
    What should I do?

    If you are importing the swf into the library it will lose all its actionscript.  You need to either copy that file from its original fla and create it as a movieclip in your other file (copy its timeline into a movieclip) or load that swf dynamically when the file is running using actionscript.

  • Attach movie (not using a button)

    I'm trying to attach movie on frame 1 on timeline. I'm using
    the following script and nothing happens:
    myMovieClip.attachMovie("graphic", "g", 1);
    g._x = 260;
    g._y = 250;
    When I use this script attached to a button it's working:
    on (press) {
    attachMovie("graphic", "g", 1);
    g._x = 260;
    g._y = 250;
    any idea what can be wrong?

    >>myMovieClip.attachMovie("graphic", "g", 1);
    This code assumes there is a movieclip with instance name
    'myMovieClip' on level0.
    >>do i have to give the movie clip an instant name
    No.
    >>i gave the name -graphic- in the linkage under
    identifier
    That's correct.

  • Attach movie clips to scrollPane using attachMovie

    Hi
    I tried to attach movie clips to scrollPane using attachMovie
    but could not do it
    I tried the following code:
    sp.contentPath="emptyMovieClip"
    sp.content.attachMovie("boxesRow","boxesRow1",1)
    trace(sp.content.boxesRow1)
    Im able to trace the sp.content.boxesRow1 , but not seen in
    the scrollPane
    Can any one suggest me , how can I do this
    Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    Thank you very much

    hi,
    The code is correct....
    But, what i want to know is, are using the Identifier name of
    the moviclips ???
    "emptyMovieClip" should be an Ideintifier name for an empty
    clip in the library.
    and "boxesRow" should refer an identifier name of another
    movie clip in the library...(its should also contain some object
    for the visibility check)...

  • Buttons in an attached movie from library

    I used the tutorial posted at
    http://www.layersmagazine.com/flash-attaching-movieclips-actionscript.html
    Now I have a button on my stage that attaches a movie from the
    library.
    on (release) {
    this.holder.attachMovie(“contents”,”contentslinks”,1);
    It works fine but I also have buttons inside the attached
    movie clip that need to control a movie that is already on the
    stage.
    contentslinks.contents_link_1.onRelease = function() {
    content_mc._visible = false; book_mc.directGotoPage(4);
    If I just place the attached movie on the stage the buttons
    work but I when I proceed to use attachMovie, they do not work. How
    do I get the buttons in the attached movie to address the movie
    that is already on the stage?

    you can use the enabled property of movieclips to
    enable/disable them.

  • Attaching movie clips to other movie clips

    I have mc1 nested like this
    _root.mc3.mc2.mc1;
    If i want to attach the mc1 from within mc2 timeline to the
    _root timeline how can I do this?... I don't want to reattach it
    from the library it must be the nested mc1 that is attached to the
    root timeline.
    Is there a way to attach movie clips to other m.c's in this
    way?
    regards J

    I've spent nearly a year creating this site... I just taken a
    glance at AS3. And sizeable isnt wrong... mamouth is closer. Other
    than having to learn AS3 it would take me months to rewrite
    everything. Is AS3 actually that much better than AS2? Either way
    im gonna finish the site in AS2 and try and find a work around for
    my attaching mc's to other mc's. Maybe one day I will convert it,
    but it just looks like an unnecissary headache.
    Thanks for your help. J

  • FlashLite 3.0 attach movie is not working properly.

    Hi friends,
    I have bulit the Flash lite 3.0 application i.e. video player .
    i have crated the dyanmic menu using attach movie application.
    this menu is working good on Flash CS3 emulator but when i create the CAB file this menu is not working proper.
    Can you please suggest solution for this.
    This  Problem will occur only on Windows mobile 5.0.
    Regards,
    Manoj

    attachMovie doesn't work ?
    Then put your component in the scene instead of linking it from the library.

  • Can't attach movie correctly

    Something has changed my ability to attach a viewable movie to an email message. Up until recently, movies like .wmv would attach as a little icon in the message that, when clicked would open Windows Media player for viewing. However, .mpg movies would run right in the message window. This worked well.
    The new development is that .mpg's that I now attach to a message do appear in the message window, but they run in a tiny little icon, where they used to appear as the original approx. 340 X 280 format. The icon-sized thing is not worth sending, but I can't figure how to restore normal behavior. Sometimes I get multiple copies of the same little movie icon in the message window.
    The upgrade to 10.4.11 that I did yesterday is suspect. When I boot from my other drive that is running 10.4.10, the attached movies appear as expect, as 340 x 280 in the message window. What happened, and how do I change it back in 10.4.11?
    iMac 17" 1 GHz, 768M RAM.

    The symptom went away during troubleshooting. I have another bootable drive with 10.4.10, and when I booted from it, the symptom went away. Booted from 10.4.11, and I still had the problem.
    I reverted the 10.4.11 drive to 10.4.10 using SuperDuper, and everything was then fine when booting from either drive. I first suspected Quicktime, so I upgraded Quicktime 7.2 to QT 7.3. No problem. I then re-upgraded OS X from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11, but the symptom has not reappeared. So for the time being, it ain't broke anymore.

  • Buttons within attached movie

    I'm trying to do very simple, i'm attaching a map using
    attachMovie, then I have two buttons one to print it and one to
    close the movie. The code is contained within the timeline of the
    attached movie not the root timeline.
    attachMovie("mcmap", "map_mc", 200, {_x:100, _y:100});
    close_btn.onRelease = function ()
    {unloadMovie (map_mc)};
    I hope I've set the linkage elements correctly and my movie
    sits on the main stage and is not exported in the first frame.
    Attaching the movie is fine, I just can't close or print the
    map - I'm incorrectly targeting somehow but I just can't work out
    why?
    Can anyone help?

    I worked it out - every post I make is because I still forget
    about using paths properly - I know it's something to do with this,
    but I always forget - sorry!
    _parent.map_mc.unloadMovie ()};
    was the correct choice!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Masking using movies

    Hiya,
    I know it must be possible in FCP so how do you mask a movie with a movie? What I mean is if I have a movie that is purely black & white footage that matches a full colour movie can I use the B&W movie to create an alpha or luminance mask on the fully rendered movie.
    Cheers
    Dan

    hello...
    put your colour clip on V3, your B&W clip on V2, and your background on V1... all on top of each other.
    then ctrl-click on your colour clip and go to composite mode... select travel matte-luma from the list and that should do you... try experimenting with different composite modes for the heck of it...
