I just want to know if it is possible in flash to capture, let's say, a frame then save it as an image file( gif or jpeg ) to my disk. I imagine the case like this: I have an image on a single frame with a button beneath it which says "Save Image". When I click the button, the image is captured then saved to my disk as gif or jpeg.
View 3 RepliesI have a movieclip on stage. Its 500x400. It has many children of diffent sizes added to it. How can I capture the area 300x200 of the movieclip from (0,0). Suppose there was a child at (100,100) of width and height 300 then I should be able to see from this child from 100 to 300 and 100 to 200 respectively. The rest of the area is not needed. I should be able to manipulate the captured image later. So I guess I have to capture it as a Bitmap. But how can this thing be done.
View 1 Repliesi would like to know if there is a way to hide only a part of a movieclip in flash. (i am not talking about putting a jpeg or a png over it to hide it xD)
View 5 RepliesI posted last week about a bug that has been driving me insane. At the time I assumed that it was either a bug in my GUI framework I was working on or a bug in flash. Since then I've ripped all traces of my GUI framework out of the project and am left scratching my head due to the fact that the bug still exists.
The Bug: Creating a movieclip within the event handler for a button is causing all the children movieclips of the movieclip being created to be automatically set to frame 2. I've attached a zip containing my FLA with this post. Hopefully someone can reveal cause of my insanity.
i have a parent movieclip mcA and i want to add another movieclip mcB (child movieclip) inside mcA such that the extra part of mcB is hidden. The size of movieclip remains same as of mcA
For ex:-
mcA = 300x300
mcB = 400x400
then only 300x300 of mcB movieclip is visible and rest of the part is hidden.
I'm a beginner actionscripter, so I hope you will take that into account when replying. The problem I am having is that a client has asked me to place a call to action button inside a textbox that scrolls. My idea was to create a movieclip containing the text and the button, then place that movieclip inside a scroll pane. I've been monkeying around with it all day and have made minimal headway. I'm not even sure of the best way to accomplish this.
If one of you learned actionscripters out there could point me in the right direction, perhaps I can find my own solution. The client wants me to use custom icons for the scrollbars, and as altering a scrollbar component seems like such a PIA, I'm trying to avoid using components.
I now how to use frame labels to play some part of MovieClip:
mc.gotoAndPlay("label1");
but is it possible to acces to frames INSIDE labels? i mean, i need gotoAndStop(25) (25 is last frame of that label)i only know this dont work:
Code:
mc.("label1").gotoAndStop(25);
I have a map of isometric buildings that the player walks around. in the image I have 1 and 3 working fine. I find the corner points of the building and test it against the players location and sort out their depths. easy.but 2 and 4 are the trouble makers. the left and right side of the building.because its isometric there is that diagonal line making up the sides.my only idea so far is to draw a line box around the building at test collisions against the "feet" of the player. but to do that I must draw a box and make it invisible but still be testable against only the bottom portion of the player, the players feet.
View 5 RepliesI have a MovieClip of an bicycle, and I've attached and event listener for mouse clicks on that movieclip. The mouse clicks events are raised when I click on the bike, but I really want to be able to click somewhere in the entire region of the movieclip's rect (to make it easier for the audience this is for to be able to click).
View 1 RepliesTake a look at this demo, how do they accomplish the Inline Changes feature? To me it looks like they are floating a movieclip over the textarea. What I can't figure out is how they anchored the movieclip to stay in the correct position. If you type something before the movieclip it moves position along with the text, the movieclips even move to the next line when the text word wraps. Does anyone have an idea?
View 1 RepliesI'm having a problem with my following situation: I made a class "Scrollbar" which I can use to create a scrollbar for a certain movieclip.This movieclip extended class (Scrollbar) has 3 movieclips (see code below):1 - which has the complete scrollbar1.1 - which has the background for the scrollbar.1.2 - which has the slider for the scrollbarNow, I'm trying to make an onPress handler inside my class, I tried to override the onPress() handler of the MovieClip class but it doesn't work.[code]
View 3 RepliesOk perhaps ive bitten off too much here...I know you are not supposed to parse xml/html to regex but the thing is there just arent many other options.Im using AS3.im parsing the source of textflowlayout text to a different format.
string to parse :
< fontFamily=Verdana encoding=unicode fontWeight="bold"> some text < fontFamily=Verdana encoding=unicode > some text < fontFamily=Arial encoding=unicode fontStyle="italic"> some text < fontFamily=Arial encoding=unicode fontWeight="bold" fontStyle="italic"> some text
what i really need is:
< fontname=Verdanabold encoding=unicode> some text < fontname=Verdana encoding=unicode > some text < fontname=Arialitalic encoding=unicode > some text < fontname=Arialbolditalic encoding=unicode > some text
logically i think of it as taking apart the string into substrings
checking if there are fontWeight or fontStyle in the substring
if there is then appending the font name with the weight or style so so that the font name becomes font NameWeightStyle.then rebuilding the string.The font could be any font with variouse styles or weights..so far:
pattern = /<(.*?)>/gixsm;
var matches:Object = pattern.exec(str);
var finalstring:String = "";[code]...........

View 1 Repliesi just would like to know how to create an "hitTest" script inside a movieclip that is actually part of that hitTest code?I mean... I have mc A, and mc B. and the current hitTest code im using (that is on the timeline) makes mc A, destroy mc B when collide with it... but there are many mc B on the stage (with the same instance name) so, when mc A collide with one mc B, it destroys ALL mc's B... but i want it to destroy only the mc B that he collides, not all the others... maybe an hitTest script inside a movieclip B would work (somethig like "if MC A hitTest ME = i die" (not all the others)).

I have an MVC3 app I need to enhance with video capture functionality. I don't yet understand all the pieces involved but it seems I may have to choose between Flash (which is not supported on iPhones and iPads) and Silverlight.it also seems I need a server-side component like the Flash Media Server. Honestly I'm overwhelmed with all the choices (having to learn ActionScript, Flex, what not).it just occurred to me: if anyone's come across a service that will manage the process for me, that too would be very cool. I'm thinking that maybe someone out there (haven't found them yet but maybe it's a matter of poor keywords) has servers and offers a url I could use in an iframe to have them capture the video for me
There is a way to capture the list of parameters passed to SWF? Suppose that I have the following url:
Code:
mymovie.swf?level=1&score=100&23764826347
I would like to capture:
level
score
23764826347
Not the contents, but the NAME of the parameters!
This way, I can, for instances, pass a parameter that be the value itself, such as a code, like this:
Code:
mymovie.swf?427642833467
I have two columns of objects on stage, one on the left side column (A) and one on the right side (column B). Each column has 3 objects in it. For this quiz I want the user to be able to draw a line from each object in column A to the corresponding object in column B.To do this I need to capture the xy coordinates of the first object that the user clicks on and then capture the coordinates of the 2nd object the user clicks on so that I can draw a line between the two of them. Drawing the line is no problem but how do I capture the coordinates of the first object selected and then the 2nd object selected? This is as far as I've got with the code.
var clip:Shape = new Shape()
var startX=0
var startY=0

I am trying to do an image capture while in full screen, however the full image area is only partially captured, or the coordinates are off (see images below). The document size is 100x700, and the stage is set not to scale / aligned to bottom.I've been able to capture the right size, however it always seems to capturing the image from the wrong start x,y position. There is some elements out of bounds but I am just trying to clip them depending on the current stage width and height. In the source files you will see a few of my attempts commented off (below/attached).Fullscreen Capture :Normal Capture :

I have a Flash application in which I would like the user to scroll a UI element by moving the scroll wheel on the mouse. My problem is that the Flash application is embedded in an iframe that also has scroll bars. So when I use the scroll wheel, even when the mouse is above the Flash application, both the Flash application scrolls (like it should) but the webpage also scrolls, which I would like to avoid.
So is there some way to avoid this behavior? Can the flash application capture the mouse so that hte events no longer bubble up to the containing page?
I am currently doing Augmented Reality. I got my marker to detect my model but my problem now is how to screen capture the content that is in swf. (As in capture the dae model shown in the comp not from webcam.)
& also i just want to capture the swf window not the whole desktop.I read online, they say its impossible?
Or is it possible to call screen capture function in javascript to flash CS4? (LIke external data)
(Moreover, does anyone know how to detect multiple dae models with different markers?)

When I press a key when the mouse is over the image I expect the label text to change to "Something", but nothing happens. I've done all sorts of combination of enabled and putting the keyDown on the canvas and the label as well.
I know there have been similar threads in the past but I can't seem to find a decent definitive answer / workaround for the problem I'm facing.What I'm trying to do: capture ALT+SHIFT+something keyboard events. Pretty straightforward, right?
Issue: When pressing ALT+SHIFT doesn't seem to ever shoot an event. The only combination that seems to work with ALT is CTRL+ALT +something, as pointed out here.
Question: I've read that the browser catches some of the keyboard events, but this happens with the basic flash player too - maybe that catches events too? Would love to know if there is a solution that doesn't involve messing with JS.
