as2 dynamically change flash movie clip colour onRollover - actionscript-2

Hi I have a flash map of the world
onRollover a region changes color
onRollout changes back no probs
BUT
I dont want to tween these as my flash file is massive
Can any point me to a tutorial or have any ideas at all.
I cannot do buttons as i need smooth transition also between rollover and rollout.
I have trawled the net and have found nothing to help me in as2.
I really would appreciate any help at all - miss_j2000

To do tweening programatically in AS2, you use the Tween class. There's a good tutorial on Kirupa on how to use it.

Changing masking colour around waveform on custom Soundcloud player

before I start I'm not a developer, so apologies in advance for any potentially daft questions. Our developer has just integrated a custom soundcloud player for our website http://www.samplephonics.com/ (see when you hover over the top 8 or recent sample packs) but I want to change the light grey background colour around the waveform to white.
As far as I am aware it's configured so that the light grey mask displays the shape of the waveform as a hole, which then has solid light grey, grey and dark grey images behind to show the apparent colour of the waveform in idle, loading and playing states..
Does anyone know how we can change this mask to white, or have any ideas I can send his way? He used this example as a starting point for creating the player: http://static.soundcloud.com/demos/soundcloud-custom-player/examples/sc-player-minimal.html
Thanks in advance :)
I've previously answered this here – https://stackoverflow.com/a/14731623/236135
unless the library you want to use for waveform customisation is using HTML5 canvas, you won't be able to use change the color of that chrome (so no, not possible with either HTML5 Widget API or Custom Player API)
In short, you'd have to use canvas or manipulate the images on the server and retrieve them from server.

Improve perfomance of my threejs

I have some issues about my model. Is is an easy model buy I can not make It work well...
I upload my project here: http://webgl.drapps.info
I have a car model with some pieces that change material when mouse is over them. I use threex.domevent.js library with "on" function. My model is loaded by json files.
Issue 1
when mouse is out of canvas, threejs detects that mouse is over a piece of my model, but this is not true, and that piece change its material (triggering mouseOver event).
Furthermore, I tried to get better mouseover event because even when mouse is really over a piece, that event doesn't trigger.
Issue 2
This is about TrackballControls. Is there any way to control rotation of my world? I mean: rotation only in one axis, rotation only for 180 degrees, etc... Is there any tutorial or article to learn how to rotate and translate camera?
Thanks for everything, I will so please to anybody who wants answer this... because I am a little lost
Thanks
Sorry, but you are out of luck.
Question 1. Yikes! You are using threex.js which is a third-party app that hasn't been updated in almost a year, so I can't help you with that.
You are also using an older version of three.js. Please update to the current version.
If you still have problems, post a new question with a simple demo -- not your entire project. Better yet, Google your question first.
Question 2. TrackballControls is not part of the library -- it is part of the examples -- so it is not officially supported. If you are not happy with it, you will have to hack the code yourself.
This question has come up a lot. Google it. To the best of my knowledge, there is not a good solution.
Personally, I would use OrbitControls in your case -- it keeps the scene right-side-up, and you can constrain the maximum polar angle, keeping the camera "above ground".
The best examples/tutorials are the official three.js examples, which will work with the current version of the library.
I can't help with issue 1.
Issue2:
I am also working on a project to visualize vehicles and needed to be able to rotate. I also tried Trackballcontrolls but it did not suit my needs.
What I ended up doing was creating a a master Object3d and then instead of adding objects/models to the scene, I added them to the master Object3d. That way to rotate everything in the scene, I just had to rotate the master object.
To actually do the rotation I just used the code from one of the cube examples.

I am trying to create a 2D tile map engine that works sort of like a tiled ScrollView

I already have a function that can return a tile for a given position. I am trying to make it so that when I scroll around it will load new tiles on the fly. I am having trouble figuring out how to attack the problem. I am sure that someone must have done this before and I would prefer to not reinvent the wheel on this.
Can anyone point me to a tutorial or some example code?
If not, can perhaps help me figure out how to do this?
I am using Kobold2D and the map is not going to be static, it will be generated on the fly, Minecraft style.
CATiledLayer is perfect for this. However, I do not know if this will play well with Cocos2d.

How do I set an uneven ground on the background within Box2d?

So I have a a problem with trying to create or set an uneven terrain for my sprite to move across on.
Currently I have a scrolling background using the same background image repeatedly alongside with gravity. However instead of having the bottom of the screen as my ground i would like to create set my own uneven terrain.
I tried using vertex helper to create this, but unfortunately that didn't seem to work. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great!
I had a need to do this a while ago and found a great tutorial that gave me everything I needed. Check out... http://www.raywenderlich.com/3888/how-to-create-a-game-like-tiny-wings-part-1
It may be a little more than you are looking for, but it does go into detail about creating an uneven terrain.
Good luck.

Zoom-able/ resizable grid with Objective-C

Hi i'm thinking about making midi step sequencer and I need to make a note grid/matrix that resizes/ adapts when you zoom. I've been searching for different ways of doing this but cant figure out a way that works well.
I thought about drawing cell objects made with (NSRect) but I couldn't figure out how to get the right interaction when resizing.
This is my first "biggish" OBJ-c project so please don't kill me, im still battling with the frameworks and the syntax is so foreign to me.
You could use Core Animation layers to create your grid.
Take a look at Apple's Geek Game Board sample code project:
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/GeekGameBoard/Introduction/Intro.html
The code shows a way to display different kinds of card/board games using CALayer.
The Checkers game looks to be the closest to the grid you want to create.
