I want to make such effect: draggable semi-transparent object (let's call it 'plastic strip') over window with arbitrary objects. Plastic strip should be turbid, i.e. it blurs content under it (not blurred itself). What's the best way to do that with PixelBender shader on Flex?
View 1 RepliesI understand the 'xyz' components of a vertex's position, but what does 'w' do? Could it be left as the same constant value all the time?
Example:

I keep this warning Warning: 3D DisplayObject will not render. Its dimensions (8192, 3172) are too large to be drawn. However the object is drawn perfectly. So should I worry about this or should I be trying to use scrollrect or masking to remove the warning?
View 1 RepliesI'm coming to Flash from a mixed graphic design / 3D animation / motion graphics background. In any of the animation programs I've used before, including After Effects, parenting is a simple operation. ...But it seems that in flash, it's more complex. So far, I am beginning to understand that it has to do with nested scenes, or nested time lines (which may be the same thing?)... So my question is... What is the easiest way to parent one object to another?
View 5 RepliesI have a flash header that I show on one of my customers sites, but instead of creating an entire new website for non-flash, is there a way I can have it render a static image version of the header instead of either redirecting or just not rendering the flash content at all (ie with a FAIL message)?
View 2 RepliesWhat options exist for rendering markup in Actionscript? I am looking for something I can use to write templates for menus, tooltips, and other display/frontend stuff in a Flash application. I want to be able to load a template from a string, and then render it as a display object. The kinds of things that would go inside would include text, with possible font styles, text positioning, and images.

Using the Molehill with Flash I wish to create a vertiex shader, to have one mesh transform into another, I have seen that it is possible with Flare, However I am unsure if that was using Stage3D, Can anyone give me any pointers in the use of shaders in AGAL as to how this might be done.
View 2 RepliesI have a button I am creating from 2 movieclips in the library. One is the button body (shape converted to MC). The 2nd is a series of button logo PNG's for an additional visual button state change.I add the logo MC with addChild to the button body. Then I add the button body to display/stage container. ll is layered correctly.If I add alpha or transform the color to the button body, it goes to the top - covering the button logo.Not applying the color or alpha to the button body and applying a color or alpha to the button logo has not effect (displays correctly).
View 4 RepliesI've been struggling to write a Phong shader for my Molehill project. The problem is that the light seems to shift or move when the camera rotates. So I've been investigating what could possibly be wrong, by basically comparing my shader with the Phong shader written in GLSL. There's one thing I found that is kind of weird. In GLSL the output position in the vertex shader is ModelViewProjectionMatrix * Vertex, ok that is just fine.
HOWEVER, in Molehill the ModelViewProjectionMatrix has to be transposed so that it will render the vertex correctly to the screen. In GLSL that is not necessary.
How did I find that out? I created the Matrix3D modelViewProjection, I applied the ModelView to that matrix and then the Projection matrix. I tried to give the vertex shader that matrix and it displayed nothing until I transposed the modelViewProjection.
In GLSL this is not necessary, I could just say output.position = projection * modelview * vertex and it would be displayed correctly, I don't need to do transpose(projection * modelview * vertex).
So.. I'm wondering if there's something that I am not seeing here or is this a special part of Molehill that we just have to follow? Or could it be a bug in Molehill? I will create a new post tonight with my Phong shader and hope that someone sees what I may be doing wrong. But this is confusing me a lot at the moment and would like to know why the matrix has to be transposed.
How would I go about making a 2d lighting shader, that only made the things near the player visible?
View 3 RepliesI have TIFF images in the database, and I need to render them in Flex.
View 1 RepliesMy Flex chart has code that creates a legend from each data series. Currently, I have the drawLegend function execute when a button is clicked.
I am trying to get the legend to draw automatically but I am having trouble determining when to call the drawLegend function. Users click on an 'Update' button which retrieves data. I want the legend to get created after this, without the users having to click on another button.
I have put my drawLegend function in several places (ResultHandler, afterEffectEnd(for chart animation, etc.) and nothing works.
Sometime after the series has been added to the chart and after the series animation ends, the legend can be added.
How can I trap this point in time and call my function?
Below is the code I used to create the legend. Note that even though the code processes each series, I noticed that the Fill color is null if it is called too early.
private function drawLegend(event:Event):void {
clearLegend();
// Use a counter for the series.

This will also not cause the dropdownlist to reset to scrollPosition 0

then 1. I press enter 2. I add the image again like above, I get the img tag inserted 10 times or so; which is weird (but not funny at all). All things being equal, html is a much normal approach, is there a basic renderer for flex 4 that works ok?

Here's a snippet of a pixel bender shader that I'm using in Flash:
parameter float2 srcSize
<
parameterType: "inputSize";
inputSizeName: "src";
>;
input image4 src;
The width and height of the source image are filled in correctly in the Pixel Bender Toolkit, but when I run this shader as a filter in Flash Player 10, the srcSize value is not automatically filled in.
Coming from a pure programming background where I have a render() and which image is drawn over which, is based on in the order of the drawn function of the image being called.
But after trying out Flex, I notice that Flex allows images to be created & drawn in the MXML file using the <image> tag and that I can also create and draw images in a AS class file link to that MXML file.
But it seems like any images created in the MXML file are drawn over the images created and drawn in my AS class file.
Is there a way to specify the draw order of the images?
I have a custom ActionScript component that I'm using in a Flex application (Flex 3.3, ActionScript 3). This component contains an Image control whose visibility is set dynamically based on a property of the data element provided to the component. The problem is that even when I set the image to be visible, it will not render onscreen. Is there something specific I need to do in order for the image to render? Snippets of relevant code below:
override public function set data( value:Object ):void {
_data = value;
if( _data ) {
if( _myImg ) {
_myImg.source = someImageClass;

View 2 Replies[URL]. Our client communicates with a Rails backend to get login details and then logs into an Adobe LCCS server. We have been cruising right along but around noon yesterday we developed a bug that causes the swf to not render until you refresh the page. On subsequent refreshes it pops up right away. The problem happened even when I disabled the code that checks in with the Rails server. How could refreshing make a difference?

View 1 RepliesWhat is the best way to render to a UIComponent which hasn't been added to the stage? (I'm using UIComponents as renderers for objects, and want to render new copies for image export, filtering, etc.) Two strategies I've seen/used so far include realizing the component to ensure it calls all the lifecycle methods: Add the component to Application.application, render with BitmapData.draw(), remove component. This is similar to what I've seen done for printing unrealized components as well. Add the component to a pop up window, render with BitmapData.draw(), dismiss popup after rendering complete. I believe both of these just rely on the UI not refreshing while the current thread/event is executing, though (1) could also rely on the component being realized out of view.

i got an Arraycollection which holds other arrays in it.i want to display the data inside with an item render but cant manage to do this
here is example code to explain my question
<s:DataGroup dataProvider="{news}"
itemRenderer="components.displaynews">
and this is the item render
<s:Label text="{data.??/}"/>
now what i dont understand is what comes after data? in the array collection the data goes like this : myArrayCollection->[0]->firstname
so when im binding data to item render,how do i represent the [x] to get to the specific name that i want? this obviusly wont work
<s:Label text="{data.[0].name/}"/>
and one more thing is what is the lightest way to display data in a listgroup with simple item render (image and text)
private function convertFBEventData2TreeData(eventData:Object):Object
{
var children:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();[code].....
i dont know what to add after data, i tried many things but nothing work :
