View 1 RepliesI am trying to snapshot a movieclip at X and Y by WIDTH and HEIGHT. All is fine, it snapshots fine and gets the width and height, but I can't adjust the x and y position for it to begin the snapshot at. I tried using a Matrix and its Matrix.translate() method, I tried moving the scroll beneath the draw method line. I don't understand how to get this thing to move.

The above script, i got it from one of the ActionScript 3.0 book. i just work it out in flash. But it shown error 5000: The class 'priyan' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.

For my project I need to copy the graphics of a Movieclip with all of its children without copying anything else into a second Movieclip. I cannot use the Bitmap classes because I need the graphics to be displayed as a vector and I cannot use a method that simply copies the clip by calling the instructor ie:
var copy:MovieClip = clip.constructor. Is there any way to copy only the display portions of a clip into another Movieclip without turning it into a bitmap?
how i might use a movieclip as a rollover in Flash to display another movieclip?
Simple as...

I have a MovieClip called chipmovie which I have exported to a class method called ChipMovie, when I try and add it to another movieclip, for some reason it doesn't display.
I have checked Export for ActionScript and Export in Frame 1.The code that adds it to the MovieClip is as follows:
public function addChip(chip:Number)
{
var newChip:ChipMovie = new ChipMovie();[code].....
In the output it says:
init y = -151 height is 0
for all the ChipMovie objects I try to add.
I'm trying to use BitmapData Class to capture an animated movieclip and adding it to the display list by using addChild, but it's causing my computer to bog down because it's adding a zillion children. what do I do to remove the old, or rather, update the current child with the new one?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use BitmapData to capture a movieclip that has been created dynamically.
Here's my code:
Code:
on(release)
{
import flash.display.BitmapData;

As u must have noticed, the movieclip i wanna draw, namely _root.VESSEL, itself contains several other clips (eg _root.VESSEL.db). The problem is that the clip doesnt get drawn at all! All i get is a white rectangle of the size i've created the bitmapData. But nothing of that movie clip has been captured.
is it that the BitmapData cannot capture the details of a clip if it has child clips?? Coz here, VESSEL itself was created empty, and all the new shapes are actually being placed as movie clips inside other empty clips that were created in VESSEL.
What's the most resources efficient way to take a screenshot of display object in as3? This is the code I am currently using:
[Code]...
But it takes too much CPU power. I am okay if it will be processed more slowly, but without CPU utilization up to 60%.
I was wondering if there is a shortcut so i can always set a MovieClip to display at the tippy top of the display list?
Also i understand that WebViewLayer will always display above the display list.
I am trying to build an MXML application with Flash Builder 4.5, and I am integrating an API that requires the root of a display object to be a MovieClip. Personally I think this is bad design but I have to go with it. The root object always seems to end up as the stage, because of course I have to add the object to the stage for it to be added to the display list. Is there some way that I can either change the stage type in an MXML application to a MovieClip or is there some way to force a MovieClip wrapper to become the root of a display object?

I have a controller that works well (play, pause, restart, and a scrubbing playhead), now I just need to display the time remaining vs. the total time of an external swf, preferably in MM:SS format (Ex: 02:36/03:51). I'm getting better with my ActionScripting all the time, but the more I learn, the more I realize just how little I actually know. Anyways, my files are setup as follows: HTML w/ JavaScript that hides the main swf (giving it time to load)Main swf revealed when button is clicked on HTML pageExternal swf pulled into an empty MC (mcContent)Instance of controller in the main swf targets mcContentDynamic text field labelled "txtTimer" is inside of controller waiting for the right script to display time remaining/total timeSo, anybody know where I could find some script to get this final touch added to my project? Either time elapsed or time remaining would be cool. I've gotten a lot of really good help/tips here in the past and am hoping to keep that going.
View 1 Repliesappears to be a problem with masking text. Trying to embed it now. So, I have a button that I want to display a label movieclip on mouseover, yeah? -and the clip contains a blank dynamic textField with an instance name of "label_text". So, I have one of these clips as a private variable in the button's class definition, and the constructor passes the button's instance name to the label's constructor to set the text field.Unfortunately, the text will only show if I actually open up the label's clip in the library and type something in. Not very dynamic!

Basically I want to define a variable in a movieclip and then display that in a textbox outside of the movieclip. To be a little more specific I want to make a variable be false and then when a movieclip gets to a certain frame the variable is set to be true. The true will then be displayed in a textbox on the main timeline.
View 2 RepliesI'm using a MOUSE_OVER event to display an invisible movieclip...so when user hovers mouse over movieclip it tweens from 0 alpha to 1 alpha. However, I'm having problems with it. The movieclip is a MusicPlayer, which contains other movie clips within it. When I move the mouse over the music player's background it appears....I then move the mouse over the Play button and briefly the MusicPlayer disappears then reappears. This happens every time I move the mouse to different elements of the MusicPlayer? It quickly flashes invisible, then becomes visible again and its a pretty annoying effect.
Are there any alternatives to the MOUSE_OVER event? I was thinking about maybe drawing a rectangle that covered the area of the music player but was separate to the music player, so whenever the mouse was within the rectangle's x and y coordinates the MusicPlayer would become visible.
How to have that movieClip created to be created at the centre of the screen?
View 1 RepliesI have a project where I want to display a certain movieClip based upon what variable was set earlier. I have 5 different MovieClips that need to display depending on variables.
I have the variable set and working, but how can I script this to make it that if a certain variable say Var1 is set, then it chooses to display Var1_mc?
Can I just have it load the correct one, or do I just have it change the alpha setting of the correct one?
I have been trying to display a bounding box (free transform box) for a MovieClip at runtime whenever I click on it but am completely lost. The reason why I would like to display it is to do transformations on a MovieClip at runtime.

I was playing with the JPGEncoder class trying to make an AS3 image uploader. My goal was to let the user browse a file on it's hard disk, display it in a movieclip and then use the JPGEncoder class to convert that movieclip (with the image on it) to ByteArray and send it all to a server-side script. The script (PHP) would then use the ByteArray data to create a jpg file on the server's disk. The problem is that you can't get the file path's from FileReference (it's a security thing). I would like to do this so that I could resize, let's say, a 800x600px image to 320x240 (the size of the container movieclip) BEFORE sending it to the serverThis is the code to load and display the image in a movieclip. It works for files in the same folder as the swf:

I have a video display in my flex app. which is attached to the camera. The camera resolution can vary depending on the user's selection, While the video display (preview) dimensions are fixed. I am then doing this:
bmd.draw(vidDisplay);
Where bmd is the bitmap.. The problem is the resulting bitmap has the correct size of the camera settings (which is set) but the capture from the video is always the size of the video display inside the bitmap.. I hope i am making sense. The result looks like a little picture inside a bigger image top left justified. I want to have a video display preview with fixed height, but be able to take snapshot with varying resolution.
