I'm trying to create an image reflection at runtime, using this code I found on the WEB. It all seems to work fine as long as I'm loading an image from the local drive, but when I try loading an image from a remote server, the reflection no longer appears.[code]
View 13 RepliesSo I followed the 3D Carousel tutorial, the first part of it and the coding worked fine, but the reflection is not working properly. I used a .PSD file and followed the instructions step by step. I added the action script code in the end, but when I take a look at the preview, the reflection image is displayed just like the original picture. Is the .PSD format a problem?
View 1 RepliesI've looked through a couple threads here about reflecting images... but I don't quite understand it. I will include a link to my project thus far: Final Project First of all, ignore the music/mp3 items at the bottom of the stage. Those aren't wired up yet. When you click on a bike image on the right, the reflection image should appear under the image... but it's not quite working out that way, and I've tried a few things. Here's the segment of AS3 code that is giving me trouble:

View 2 RepliesI have an image and I want it to have a reflection and to apply an effect onMouseOver so that image bounces (like a rubber ball) until it stops.I found this example (http:url]....)that does exactly what i want (except I want it to bounce just one time per mouse over), but this is for Flex and I cant manage to translate it to Flash.

View 2 RepliesThe idea is I have 3x3 containers(Sprites) - each one holds 2 tiles of 2 two images (shown one and unvisible - laying behind) . So there are 9containers and 18 tiles. When I click on the image I get rotation of the containers, and when every container is about 90 degrees, its childs swap each oher. So in result I get second image shown. But unfortunely then, shown image is rotated by 180 degrees, that means its left side is on the right. Pre rotating containers ( of tiles gives total mess, as middle tiles seem to be right, but left side of the image and right doesnt match to rest.So I need to rotate tiles, which are bitmapData - parts of Bitmap. But I can not rotate them - there is no property .rotationY for bitmapData, and I can not use matrix's rotate() method as it traits only angle rotation and not axis rotation.If I rotate by Y axis the bitmap before slicing it to tiles nothing happens, so I guess draw method relies on default Bitmap.
So Q : How can I rotate on Y axis a bitmap to have mirror reflection of the image and then apply it reflected to the as a .bitmapData property and slice it to small pieces.
I created a 9-scalled background in Flash CS5 which is working fine in Flash CS5.But when i imported it as embeded graphic in Flex, and change dimensions in runtime, 9-scalling doesnt work.Here is my code.

I created the code below which works as it should using the main timeline actions in AS3 - now, for my project I need this to work in AS3 using class files (basically I'm creating an app which uses pages as class files. This is intended to go on the 2nd page.for some reason though when I've copied it into my project and instantiated it when the page loads, even though all traces say that the squares should be there - they are not! The best I've had so far is one square in the final position![code]
View 0 RepliesI am using Flash CS4. I insert and build a SWF file just fine. In the component inspector there is a preview entry but there is a note that says it is only for development not runtime. It says to use ActionScript and the Export option. I have used the Export Option to create the thumbnail image but I have no idea how to setup the ActionScript.
View 1 RepliesI have an issue with downloading an image from a URL that is not getting updated at runtime. I'm using a URLLoader to download the file initially at the start of the app from some URL, then later on there is a call to the server which re-compiles the image into something else. After that the image is being downloaded again from the exact same URL, but as far as I can tell it's not getting the updated version, but is getting it from the cache that flash creates.
If I restart the application after doing all of this it gets the correct image when it downloads at startup, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to download the correct image at runtime. Does anyone have any idea how this can be accomplished?
need to load an image(s) into flash during runtime. not sure where to start - want to assign the actionscript to a button. found the method "FileReference.browse()" and "FileReference.upload()", but not sure how to begin to implement it. also wanted to be able to scale the image and move it around.

I am facing difficulty in doing as below:
I have created a MovieClip symbol, called imgOne_mc, out of a PNG image. I have also added an empty MovieClip symbol (with the name imgContainer) on the stage. Within the code, inside a Class, I want to attach imgOne_mc to the imgContainer, at run-time. I tried it in following way:
imgContainer.addChild(imgOne_mc);
But, it ended up with the error "Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type flash.display: DisplayObject".
isnt there a way to get an FLVPlayback component to display its FLV's first frame until it has enough frames buffered to start playing the video? I can add a preview to it that i can see while im authoring the flashfile the component is in, but it just shows up as a white frame for a second at runtime.. id like to get it to display its first videoframe instead of that. The component inspector assures me there is a way to do this using actionscript, but leaves me hanging on exactly how its done, or where to discover such information
View 7 RepliesI've been thinking about the possibility of using Flash to create designs through ActionScript and tools that I could use at runtime. Is there any way of saving the stage elements as an image that I can use for print output later, preferably as a vector image?I realise the better option would probably be to learn how to script in java script or another language that can be used with a drawing application such as Illustrator, but I'm curious about what sort of options I have to do it through Flash.

View 2 RepliesIn Flex, how to assign swf as image source at runtime, not embedding it.[Bindable] public var myImg:String;<mx:Image id="intImg" source="{myImg}" width="96%" height="96%" />In my application, I fetch image url dynamically from a web service call, and assign it to "myImg". But until I don't get the response from the web service call, I want to show a loader swf in image control above. I assigned something like:myImg = "assets/AS3.swf";and the path of swf is correct, but it doesn't show up.UPDATE:The code I've shown above works perfectly in a Flex 3 app but the swf does not show up in a Flex 4 app. Is it because Image control has dropped the support for swf in Flex 4 ?
View 3 RepliesI am building a form builder in Flex 4.5. For that I need help regarding uploading image at runtime such that any user can just simply place cursor on particular location on image and is able to upload any image from the local file system.
View 2 RepliesI have an image component:
Code:
<mx:Image x="6" y="8" id="image" />
I'm allowing the user to choose some image and load it at runtime.
Code:
image.source = "../images/temp.jpg";
Why doesn't this do anything? I just see the little error icon like you see on a website when an image cannot be found. But I definitely have temp.jpg.
I cannot find an ActionScript 3 code example anywhere on how to load a PNG file as a flvplayback preview image and add it in at runtime." Assigning the preview property with the string of the PNG file refrence like 'video.preview = "previewimg.png"' does nothing. who to assign in ActionScript 3 a PNG file as preview file.
View 7 RepliesI'm having a difficult time finding any ActionScript that will do the trick of saving an image during runtime.
It's a Flash application where the user can design something, then send it in (to me) for publishing (I figured the best way to do that would be to take a picture JPEG of their finished design using some sort of ActionScript and then save it to my Web Server). I've searched around and found a few examples, but none of them seem to work

View 1 RepliesI've seen the Loom project, but are there any alternatives that are more mature (and actively developed)? I am looking for something that would allow load-time weaving of pointcuts into existing binary code at runtime with the AVM2 runtime.
Has any work been done in this area?
I've been into coding for about 5 years now, but I'm a recent convert to Flash development. One of the questions I have at the moment is, considering that SWF files can be run by either Adobe Flash Player OR Adobe AIR, what's the real difference between the two runtime environments? What API's and Objects exist in one environment, but not the other?
Basically what I'm more or less trying to establish is, when would I want to develop an SWF for AIR, and when would I want to develop for Flash Player, considering that Flash Player can also execute locally (providing support for creating "desktop applications")
I am new to actionscript 3 and I wanted to know if anyone could direct me to some websites (Tutorials) which can help me create a gallery like the one in the link but using AS3.

View 1 RepliesI have been looking at how to reflect a point in a line, and found this question which seems to do the trick, giving this formula to calculate the reflected point:
Given (x,y) and a line y = ax + c we want the point (x', y') reflected on the line.
Set d:= (x + (y - c)*a)/(1 + a^2)
Then x' = 2*d - x
and y' = 2*d*a - y + 2c
However there are two problems with this implementation for my needs:
My line is not described in the form y = ax + c (so I'd have to translate it, which is easy to do, but it means the process is slower). What if a is infinity ie. a vertical line?
Is there a simple way to calculate (x', y'), the reflection of point (x, y) in a line, where the line is described by the two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?
Edit:
I've found a formula which does this, but it seems as though it does not work with lines that look like they have equation y = x.
Here it is in actionscript:
public static function reflect(p:Point, l:Line):Point
{
// (l.sx, l.sy) = start of line
