Im trying to use BitmapData.draw() on a movie clip, thing I noticed is that this method always draw from the top left of the movie clip, is there a way to "center" the draw method somewhere else on the mc?
View 1 RepliesI'm using BitmapData.Draw to draw a masked movieclip to a bitmap.Flash behaves very strangely in many different ways. To give a couple examples:1) Normally, the position of the mask is relative to the masked object. Ex. if I Draw() the movie clip at 10,10 and the mask's position is 20,20, then during the Draw() the mask will effectively be at 30,30. Weird, but consistent. However, if I Draw() the mask to another surface first, and then Draw() the movie clip, the mask position will be absolute (20,20 in the example)
View 3 RepliesI am having an issue with using BitmapData.draw(stage). I am getting the following error:
SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/bla...bla...bla.swf cannot access null. No policy files granted access. Here is a portion of my code:
var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(2800, 2100); bd.draw(stage);//this is where the error happens All of the files referenced (.xml/.jpg/.swf) are located in the same local folder as the main .swf. How do I get around this error? The main objective is to print the stage using PrintJob(). I am using Flash Professional CS5.5 and publishing to Flash 10.0/10.1. Let me know if I need to supply any more info.
I've been using BitmapData.copyPixels() to draw graphics onto a canvas (Bitmap).I need to rotate the resulting graphics without the use of draw() because it's vastly slower.How can I rotate the target graphic? I'm assuming that there might be a formula or library that I can use which will first reorganize the pixels that make up a graphic based on an origin (point) and radians.I'm pretty certain that I'm not capable of creating such logic, so if there are any known libraries that do this, that would be awesome.I'd like to achieve something similar to XNA's SpriteBatch.Draw() method, which accepts rotation as its 5th argument.

View 2 RepliesI am using the draw() method of the BitmapData to encode a jpeg of part of the image. Now this should be easy enough given the object I want to draw to the bitmap is on the stage at design time so I know its location and dimetions exactly! Heres the code I have in place.
Code:
var myBitmapSource:BitmapData = new BitmapData ( street.width, street.height, false, 0x333333);
myBitmapSource.draw(street, null, null, null, new Rectangle( 96, 5, 571, 450 ), true );
I know for a FACT that no part of the street clip I am drawing out is in negative space, and it's registration is (0,0). However, it cuts off A lot of the top of my image. y=5 in the above rectangle is where I need the top to be, but it cuts the top off of the image... even if I change it to 0, it has no effect.
I'm making something that requires me to draw() the youtubeplayer Giving me this pretty error:

I'm trying to do some lean blitting for an object that rotates by rotating it once at startup and capturing a BitmapData snapshot of each 5 degrees. The problem I'm having is that the draw() method of the BitmapData object is only picking up pixels in the MovieClip that are below and to the right of the registration point. If I change the MC so that the registration point is in the top left corner, I sometimes get what looks like most of the pixels, but the entire object rotates into and out of the frame, since it's rotating around the corner and not the center.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to implement a multiple file uploader and expose and API for javascript. Even though I think I can handle urlrequests, I'm having a hard time making a SimpleButton.I want the button to have the size of the movieclip/sprite that I create. I'm trying without luck to make a movieclip of 130px x 30px, and have a simple button that fills the entire area. What I try to do in actionscript:
private var _button:SimpleButton = new SimpleButton();
private var _fileList:FileReferenceList = new FileReferenceList();
private var _buttonShape:Shape;[code].......
I'm using intelij to compile this. how to build it with the SDK alone.
I am new to actionscripts and I'm having some difficulty. I am creating a website that teaches kids about the about the brain and I am creating a website very familiar to this one,[URL]..So far I only know how to draw and call a simple movie clip such as what you see below. What I am trying to do is create the features that you see on the above website. I'll try to explain as best as possible what I have done so far:
I created one flash file and drew the background for where the text will display. Next I created several movie clips for each of the brain parts and I placed an invisible button over each of these movies. For example I told the button, "cerebellum_button" to play the movie "cerebellum_mc" and told it to go to the "turnon" label." Once it stopped at the label "turnoff" it displayed the text for what the cerebellum does.
I don't think that the below method is efficient, I feel that my code is redundant because I�m having to create a button for each animated movie clip, then each one of those movie clips displays text. It seems to me that I can somehow create a text in a centralized location and call it. However because I am new at this stuff I have had to create text in each of the movie clips. Is there a way that I can centralize all of the text then call it? My aim is to have the user roll over the brain part, have it animate, and have it display the text to explain what that brain part does. So far this is what I have working, I have one button and one animated movie that includes text.
cerebellum_button.onRollOver = function(){
cerebellum_mc.gotoAndStop("turnon");
}
cerebellum_button.onRollOut = function(){
cerebellum_mc.gotoAndStop("turnoff");
I am trying to create a gallery where the thumbnails scroll across the bottom and when you click on the thumb a new large image opens up on top of it from the same image.
What i would like to do is open up the large image but draw a box around this image so it blanks out the background of the site and all you see is that picture.
Its a similar function to the way this site works;

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how and if it is possible to draw a line/ circle and place a movie clip on it and get the movie clip to go round the circle by placing the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard.

I am trying to work with this flash tutorial -[URL] So far it draws with a simple rounded line. I have been extending this application by making the drawing board bigger and other small things. I now want to be able to choose the line style. Currently it is rounded and I want to choose and draw with other shapes - square, forward slash (/), backward slash (). Is this possible? If so, could you explain how I could go about it?

I am trying to copy an image.The green stuff on the first image is a mask(which is not set, its just there to show it)Everything works fine when I dont set a mask to an image (picture 1)But when I set the mask I get picture 2.What I want is to copy a part of the image which is visible when the mask is set. I know what size the mask and image are going to be so I can calculate the size of the area which i need to copy.This is the code I am using, image has registration point in the center, thats why i use matrix.translate (not sure if its the right way).Also there is no image scaling applied (there might be later), thats why I am using matrix.scale.

var _reflectionHolder:Sprite = new Sprite();

I have a sprite with some objects in it which are transformed in 3D (positioned and rotated). The objects form a coneshape in such a way that the objects that make up the back are hidden.When I use that sprite as a source for the bitmapData.draw() it is drawn from another viewpoint so it seems. In my case the copy is viewed slightly from the bottom and right.
Bottomline:Does anyone know of a way to duplicate the image of a sprite which contains 3D manipulated graphics?
I am using NetStream.appendBytes() to play a local video (no server involved) in Adobe AIR. I would like to use BitmapData.draw() to take a picture of the video output, but I am getting this error:
Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: cannot access null. No policy files granted access.
Here is some sample code:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.filesystem.File;
[Code].....
This is only sample code use for an explanation. The error would happen when calling the getImage method while the video is playing. The error mentions a policy file not found. Since the file is loaded locally there isn't really a place to put a policy file. Is there a policy setting somewhere that needs to be set or is the BitmapData.draw feature just not available when using appendBytes?
