ActionScript 2.0 :: Convert A Movieclip To EPS Or Some Other Vector Format Dynamically?
Apr 19, 2007
I'd already posted this question as a reply in a discussion of one of my own earlier posts.. But i needed to draw attention to this problem of mine particularly. so m posting this as a separate question..I need to convert a movieclip dynamically into a vector or some picture format and save it to disk. is that possible? i have almost no knowledge what EPS format is
Say I have some 2D artwork in Flash CS4 format .FLAs, and I'd like to put it into an iPhone game that uses OpenGL ES, keeping it in vector format. An OpenGL-ready format could just be a list of vertex positions and colors for a triangle strip.
I'm working on some generative art projects in AS3, and I keep running into problems with the quality limits of bitmaps. They're not scalable or editable the way vectors are. Is there a class or library that I can use to take a Sprite object's graphics and export them into SVG format? Other common vector formats are also acceptable.
Edit: Note that I'm using FlashDevelop and not Adobe Flash CS.
I'm going to create a iOS app in flash and convert. I'm thinking I may want to load graphic assets at runtime. I'd like these assets to be vector graphics so they can be resized easily with no quality degradation. I usually use SWF files ofr this purpose. Unless I'm wrong, a converted iOS app probably does not load SWF files. So I'm wondering what kind of vector graphics file format can iOS load at runtime?
then I loop the array to search the data I want to return to another function...my problem is how to format the date value in array to become this format before I can make a comparison with this value....
5/21/2007--> this value got from this current date
so the problem is how to convert the value in array from this format
21-5-2007 to this 5/21/2007 for all the values....the data I load from dtbase actually that's why it store that kind of format....
I have a class which takes a Vector.<DisplayObject> in it's constructor. I had expected it to be ok to create instances of this class by passing Vectors of types that are subclasses to the DisplayObject class (in this case Sprite ans SimpleButton). But it doesn't work. And casting these Vectors as Vector.<DisplayObject> when declaring the instances doesn't work either. [code]...
So when I scale text in a tween, it doesn't look at all smooth. I tried to compensate by increasing the frame rate, but even 60fps doesn't fix it. So I'm pretty sure that the scaling is limted to pixels. I immagine I can fix this by converting the text to vector art, so it will scale at less-than-pixel intervals.
Is this a correct solution? If so, how do I do this?
Is there a way to convert FLA or SWF into SVG format? It can be a Software? Or even a Web convertor? I have tried a few things and none of them worked. All of them seems out of date.
Is there seriously no way to convert a vector graphic into a motion guide for Flash? Are the Pen and Pencil tools really the only way to define the path for a motion tween? I have CS3 (Flash, Illustrator, PhotoShop). I just got the trial version of CS5. I have a subscription to[url]... I have searched these forums and the internet in general for hours.
All I want to do is move a symbol around in a circle, but my pen/pencil skills are not sufficient to create a circle. Editing the CS5 motion path has proved exceedingly tedious and not round. There's a perfectly good circle tool in all four applications...
i have following problem: i have these files developer_identity.cer Team_Provisioning_Profile_.mobileprovision
In order to package adobe flex mobile application for iOS, i need to convert my .cer certificate into .p12 format. Following this tutorial on help.adobe.com i always get this problem when executing last openssl command:
"no certificate matches private key error in pkcs12" From what i understand i need somehow to get private key, that was used to create the certificate (do i understand this well??). How do i get the private key mykey.key if i only have .cer and .mobileprovision files mentioned above?
I need to take a .swf Flash file, ideally from a URL (but I can read the file from disk also) and create an image preview of it (png, gif or jpeg is fine).I am using Adobe Coldfusion 8 so I'm looking for a Java solution. I need to get the first frame of the Flash movie only.
EDIT: I need to do this on the server in Java/CF at runtime - it's got to be automatic - I'm not looking for screen-grab software.
I used TextConverter to convert a TextFlow in Flex to String to store it in my Database. How to convert that string back to TextFlow in order to display in Rich Text format
I'm trying to make a tile-based AS3 game that uses PNG images as the base for maps that loads them from the library and converts the data to an array with each pixel of data being an individual tile. Essentially, if I had a 128x128 pixel PNG with say, green pixels being converted to "GRASS" in my array, I could then cycle through the array and add tiles to the map movieclip accordingly. I've looked at the ByteArray class and I can't seem to decode the data into a usable format.
This is my first post in this forum and I'll try to best explain my problem. I'm working on a AS3(AIR) application, i.e., some text transposer. Let's say I have a dynamic textbox (some previously transposed data), in which I have the following content:
Next to this text box, I have another dynamic text box, where I want to put these numeric values, i.e., to generate an XML tree by clicking a button (calling a function), which have the following structure:
I am looking for a easy way to convert Autocad polygons to swf files. Is there a converter for that? Or is there an intermediatory format that can be used to convert from polygons to the adobe flash swfs. Each polygon would be a swf file.
Do I am able from some numbers like 132145 to make them look like that "13:21:45 Today" or "13:21:45 Tomorrow" !? I see that in AS2 this is able to do but don't know how to do it in AS3
I am trying to do a calculation which will eventually (hopefully) yield the total length of time it will take to download a certain size file over different broadband speeds.
//amount_total is the total file size (GB) //multiplied by 1024 to give me total megabytes mb = Number (amount_total*1024) //15 is time (s) to download 1MB
[code]....
So, I am left with a total time of eg: 4.5 hours.i would like a standard number I can use across my movie to convert 4.5 hours to 4hrs 30, or 4.30 for simplicity.If I have 0.5 hours as a total, it would be much easier for the user to read it .30 hours.
I want to convert my dynamic Drawing (that I created in a Flash Dialog using AS 3) into the .DXF and .DWG format.Is there any way by which I can give the export functionality on the flash page so that the dynamic drawing that created in flash code will export into .DXF and .DWG format.
So we were going to make a website allowing users to upload video. The website is going to be in PHP/MySQL. Are there any converters out there available for PHP to convert a video from a given format to flash to display on the web page to play?
Basically we would have a file on the server in say .avi format, or quicktime format. How do I grab it from the server, convert it to flash and display it on the php page to play?
Also, does can I use the video capabilities of HTML5 with PHP to make any of this easier?
Can you load a vector file such as .svg or .eps dynamically? I know you can import a .jpg or a .swf file, but those same methods dont seem to work when it comes to vector
