ActionScript 2.0 :: Blendmode - Erasing One MovieClip From Another
Nov 10, 2009
I am trying to erase one movieclip from another using the blendmode="erase" setting, but can only get it to work on the stage as the parent. This means it erases a hole through everything! The attachmovie also doesn't seem to work as I was expecting and I was hoping that when you drag the movieclip, the attached clip would move with it? If you check out the FLA [URL] you can see whats happening right now and what I want to achieve (diagrams provided in FLA).

I have a fully working flash application, made in as3. Now i dynamicly added a movieclip and i would like to be able to erase that movieclip with a eraser of some sort, my goal is to be able pick up a sponge with the mouse and then start dragging over the movieclip and erasing the parts where i dragged over it.

So you've got a transparent png. Rather than importing that png with its alpha channel, I've always assumed it's better to import it with a black or white matte, then use Flash's blend modes (lighten, darken, screen, multiply) to show the transparency.Am I right on this, or does it make no difference in terms of cpu usage?I do believe that in terms of filesize, the matte saves quite a bit over the alpha channel.

Does Flash Player 9's BlendMode ability transpose to normal bitmap data (JPG, PNG, etc.) outside or beneath the SWF? I have a movieclip that I'm trying to blend with an HTML background like Photoshop. It currently doesn't react to the options I've tried.

Set 2 MovieClips on the stage each having a rectangle in it which have different colors. Put them one over another and apply to the top one some blend mode that shows some visual difference. Ok so what I need to do now is grab the bitmapData from both and redraw it into a single MovieClip, so what I need is to merge the 2 bitmapData, which worked fine without a blendMode, but I can't get it to work right with blendMode[code]...

I've been searching for the formula used intrinsically in Flash but I couldn't find anything. Does anybody know how the result colors are obtained when the 'layer' blend mode is chosen for the upper object? I thinks it's done separately in each channel using the transparency values.There might be some bitwise operations going on there but I'm not sure.

Overlay blending mode in flash on trasnaprent, imported images, doesn't work properly! It leaves dimmed black background instead of transparency. Same thing is in CS4 and in CS5. What is even more weird is that in Flash preview stage window everything is fine, and it works, but after publishing the SWF, you can see black background.I looked for workaround that...no success. No one answeres to this question.
-I tried with 24png, 8png, gif with different settings. No success.
-Tried also with After Effects, and then export to SWF, it works surprisingly.

How can I punch out a alpha hole with the blue circle in the red circle with code? I can't wrap my head around setting up the blendMode properties.

I'm loading a batch of 50 jpgs and once loaded, on enter frame, I'd like to change their alpha individually and apply BlendMode.ADD to all of them (also individually).
I can do this easy using normal Sprite objects, but this is not efficient enough (processor wise). I've played a bit with BitmapData.draw(source, null, null, BlendMode.Add) and that's still not efficient enough.
So I was wondering if I could achieve similar effect using copyPixels (which I know should be more efficient). Still, I'm a bit clueless on how could I apply BlendMode and alpha on a bitmapData object (I mean, I know I can't, but I was wondering if I could make this work using Matrix and filter manipulations).

i've a problem with a MC containing 3 3D nested animated MC. When i place this MC on the main TLine, it give me
error #2007 Parameter blendMode must be non-null.
The I tried to set the blendmode of the 3 nested MC in the nested timeline:
nestedMC.blendMode = BlendMode.NORMAL;
but it keep giving me error...

so, a blendMode seems to break on a nested movieclip in FP10 when you change a 3d propery of the parent clip? rotationY, rotationZ, etc...Example here (sorry, not enough posts to actually link):
ActionScript Code:
import flash.utils.*;
import flash.display.*;

I tried to erase whatever was drawn on the stage by using a similar function in a recent previous post but I'm not getting it.when I try to use it an error says that this is no longer supported. I tried addChildAt() and inserted different Num but it only erased everything including my button.the current code is:
var drawing:Boolean = false;
this.graphics.lineStyle(5,0x000000);this.graphics.moveTo(mouseX,mouseY);
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onLoop, false, 0, true);stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onDown, false,0,true);stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onUp, false,0,true);

The problem is when background of top or below label is changed, the top or below button is erased.
<mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:LinkButton icon="{icon1}" width="25" x="10" y="10"/>
<mx:LinkButton icon="{icon2}" width="25" x="10" y="100" />
<s:VGroup width="100%" height="100%" id="lst" click="highlight(event.target as Label)" gap="0">
<s:Label />
[Code]...
So do anyone know the possible solution for this problem?

I got the following question.
i added the following elements to the stage:
homeBg = new HomeBg();
homeMask = new HomeDrawBg();
addChild(homeBg);
addChild(homeMask);
I allready instantiated them in the beginning of the document. But my problem is the following. the homeBg layer is a image, the homeMask layer is the same image but it has a pencil scetch look. What i want is that wherever i move my mouse, the homemask layer should be erased so the bottom layer becomes visible(only where the mask is erased). So how can i tell the mask layer to erase itself if the mouse is over it?

I'm attempting to create a dry erase board style animation effect in my flash movie where I'm erasing the text, like a dry erase board type effect. I've tried doing a frame by frame mask animation and it's not turning out very well. Has anyone attempted this before? Are there any tutorials or maybe after effects > flash tricks?

I'm in need, again, of some assistance. I'm making a game with 2 pictures. and the concept is built on that you erase part of the top-bitmap to see the bitmap under.How can I accomplish this?I tried to wrap my head around the bitmaps and the draw and the FillRect but can't get it to work completely.Basically I want 2 bitmaps, and a cursor which erases parts of the top one to show the one underneath.

I'm trying to create sort of an eraser to remove sections of a bitmap on stage.
I have achieved this by creating a MovieClip in flash that is a circle and exporting it as a Class called Hole.
Now I use this MovieClip to erase a circle section of the image using the following.
var mat = new Matrix();
var ct = new ColorTransform();
var hole = new Hole();
mat.translate(x,y);
image.draw(hole, mat, ct, "erase");
Now what im trying to do is scale the size of the circle depending on a certain variable but no matter what I try the scale doesn't seem to change and. The size seems to stay the same as I drew it in Flash. I tried adding the following line
hole.width = hole.height = size;
I even created a class file called Hole and the size as a parameter
var hole = new Hole(200);
This didn't work either it still appeared to have the same size. I have even tried altering the scaleX and Y values with no success.

for the past couple of weeks I've been learning AS3, and for a school project I'm doing a remake of the popular DOS game Liero. Everything is working fine, I got a layer of dirt that I am shooting away, but the problem is that after a few hundred bullets, the game starts to lag heavily whenever a shot is fired.I'm using a simple bitmap and a brush to erase the parts where the bullets hit.
// Drawing stage
bmap = new BitmapData(1100,800, true, 0);
dispBmp = new Bitmap(bmap);

i need to mix two images one photo and a placeholder. The idea is that we see the placeholder except where the palceholder has a particular color, in that case the user sees the photo. Something like chroma key.For this purpose i wrote a Pixel Bender shader that acts as a BlendMode. If the background is in the right color output the pixel image otherwhise output the pixel from the placeholder.
<languageVersion : 1.0;>
kernel Crossfade
< namespace : "mynamesp";
vendor : "Artbits snc";
[code]....
Everything works fine except for the fact that i had multiple placeholder, one over the other and my shader don't check the color of its own placeholder but the color of everything under the photo.Is there a way to force BlendMode to consider only a layer or a specific background color ?Is there a smarter way to obtain the same result ?

I'm working with Threshold on BitmapData class. I need the threshold return the modified pixel (the pixels match with the equation).I need to detect how many pixel have changed to get the percentage of the complete erasing! I did it with getPixel32/setPixel32 but it's faster with threshold (i'm doing it on 15 bitmapdata at the same time)
pixelChanged += bmp.bitmapData.threshold(bmpBrush, bmpBrush.rect, new Point(this.stage.mouseX, this.stage.mouseY), ">", 0);
so, each pixel bigger than 0 should match this equation ... and they will be set to 0 after that (default color value). Next time, because they are 0, pixels are not suppose to change again because 0 is not bigger than 0 ! But it still return me a value, like if the pixel have changed! I've tried with different combinaison of mask/threshold .I join a sample of my problem (drag the triangle and check the output window ... the number increase even if the pixel is transparent 0x00000000)

I have two layers namely topLayer_mc and bottomLayer_mc. The actual vector drawing is drawn on the top layer and onmouseUp of the tool, a bitmap copy of the vector graphics on the top layer is taken and added as a bitmap to the bottom layer. The top layer is cleared subsequently. It is working for the pencil tool.Now I need to create an eraser tool. This is where things get tricky. In the application there is an option to save the image as png, so alpha has top be preserved. So the coventional method of draw a brush using the vector and using the draw method of bitmap will not work. Of course, on a visual level it would work if the brush drawn using the vector is to have the same color as that of the background.
What I need is to excatly erase the pixels.Now I have created a brush tool using the conventional technique and clearing is possible but what I need is to exactly erase the pixels. Is there some technique to draw this ? This is the code that I am using: I have also uploaded the swf and source code, When trying out, please draw all over the stage using the pencil (press Pencil button and start drawing)The source fla is also provided.

I've got to build a kids game at the moment for my school, and I was planning to have a sort of archaeological dig, with the kids required to rub the screen (it's for a touch-screen) to "un-earth" the bones underneath.I was thinking of either erasing an overlay and checking for a hitTest between the two objects, or coloring in with a line or something.Is it possible to color something in and check when the object has been completely colored? or possible to erase an overlying object? and if so, can you point me in the direction of a tutorial or a quick explanation?

I have the raster of dots on white background. I would like it when I DragOver each dot it becomes white so it looks like you are actually drawing white line by erasing the dots. Ive somehow found the way how to do it by making it transparent when I rollover. But it doesnt work with dragover. How to do it only when I hold down the mouse button and drag my mouse over the dots?
This is the script assigned to MC with one black dot (I copied this MC with one dot into another MC and multiplied it to have the raster):
this.onRollOver = function () {
this._alpha = 0;
} this.onPress = function () {
this._alpha = 50;
}
I've tried also this, but it doesn't work:
var erasepoint = false;
this.onMouseDown = function(){erasepoint = true;}
this.onMouseUp = function(){erasepoint = false;}
this.onRollOver = function () {
if(erasepoint){
this._alpha = 0;
}}

What (if any) is the actual differance between removeMovieClip() and unloadMovie() for use in erasing duplicated movie clips (using duplicateMovieClip() )? I was looking over some of my code and noticed I used both without much rhyme or reason as to why one over the other.

I am developing a flash game entirely in FlashDevelop, i.e., only with AS3 code.I want to do the following: blend, as ADD (adding their colors), a couple of moving DisplayObjects, such that the blending occurs only between them, and not with anything else in the screenWith no success, I've tried to do this: insert the moving DisplayObjects in a parent DisplayObject named container with blendMode as ADD, while all the rest of the game has blendMode NORMAL.I've also tried to set the blendMode of the moving DisplayObjects as ADD, with ontainer.blendMode == NORMAL, with also no success.Adobe's AS3 API mentions that the ADD Blend mode "Adds the values of the constituent colors of the display object to the colors of its background"

I've written a simple MovieClip replacement that converts an existing imported MovieClip to a sequence of BitmapData. This removes the requirement for Flash to render vector data in the MovieClip on each frame.
But BitmapData has a huge memory footprint. I've tried converting the BitmapData to a ByteArray and using the compress() method. This results in a significantly smaller memory footprint. But it has proven impractical. For each redraw, I tried uncompressing()'ing the ByteArray, then using SetPixels to blit the data to the screen, then re-compressing() the frame. This works but is terribly slow.
So I was wondering if anybody else has an approach I could try. In Flash, is it possible to compress bitmap data in memory and quickly blit it to the screen?
I wonder how native animated GIFs work in Flash. Does it uncompress them to BitmapData behind the scenes, or is frame decompression done on the fly?
