ActionScript 2.0 :: Cropping A Loadmovie?
Mar 15, 2006
I m building a site whit transparency so my background HTML can bee viewed, at some point I load a movie on level1, it's supposed to bee smaller than the Level0 movie but instead I end up getting flaps on the level0 movie because the original content of the level1 movie sticks out, I can't put a mask for it will occlude the HTML background, and it doesnt matter if I keep shortening the loaded movie it still shows up like it has a mind of its own...

I recently made a flash document with animations and some AS at 1600 pixels wide. It turns out that my web developer is having trouble using the file and would like it cut down to 1200 pixels wide. I can make the document 1200 wide, but then everything is off-center. Is there any way that I can crop it to 1200 my taking 200 pixels off of each side instead of just 400 off of one side? If not is there an easier way to just select every layer and tween at one and move them over

Notice that the lineTo completely leaves the UIComponent and Panel.How can I cause my UIComponent or Sprite, Or Panel for that matter, to be cropped/clipped? I realize I could just change the hard-coded 2222's to something more reasonable, but I need a generalized solution to this, since the actual project doesn't involve hard-coded values that I can alter, but works with dynamic data.

Does anyone know of a way to crop out whitespace/transparent pixels in a BitmapData object? I've got this movieclip I'm rendering that has a huge amount of whitespace all around it. I'd like to crop all of that out before I convert it to a JPEG (with corelib). Is there a way to do this? I can't seem to find a way to figure out where the first opaque pixel starts on each axis to determine the extents.

SO I am working on animating a 20/fps sprite (an SCV from Starcraft 2). The animation is 1 second long, and thus 20 frames. I have made a sprite sheet in photoshop, and have each frame as a separate layer. I import the PSD into my library and have it convert the layers to "Flash Frames". I get each frame nicely tucked away as a layer in my library. Problem is, it gives an ugly white border (about 1 to 2 pixles thick) around my sprites, making it look like I did a terrible crop job. However, the crop job is fine (I can change the background in the PSD to black, and the cropped sprite frames look perfect! What have I done wrong or need to do?

Using DRAW I want just a part of the original image. I am using the "Rectangle" bit of the paramaters, but I can't get the start of the crop away from the top left corner.
Here's my code :

I made an xml loaded dynamic image gallery and I cannot figure out how to crop the image should it be too big. Masking appears to work only with a movieclip created outside of actionscript (which cannot be created dynamically).

I want to display an image, and it should be transformed like this:If for example, my original image is 200x300 pixels in size, I want it to have a width of 150, and then scale the height accordingly. Then I want to crop the image, so that the result has a dimension of 150x150 pixels.

After seeing the I've been told that movieclips aren't suited for games, what do you use? thread, I thought I would try to incorporate the approach into a game I'm currently programming to make it a little less processor intensive.
I have a giant movieclip of a football field, of which only 5-10% is shown at any given time. I'm guessing that flash still has to make calculations for the other 90-95% of the field every frame, even though it's of no use. From what I understand (not much), copyPixels seems like the perfect candidate for such a situation.
It seems simple, but I'm having trouble actually implementing it, and I'm not sure which actions are needed and what might be introducing unnecessary work. I have a movieclip (mc_field, exported for as), but if it would save the processor some effort,I could easily save this as a bitmap and export that for actionscript. The width and height of the final product (bitmap/BitmapData) will be Stage.width, Stage. height,respectively,and I can handle making the calculations of the x,y coordinates of the rectangle cropping (which part of the source bitmap I want to crop).I'm sure it's only 3 lines of code, and I know that there are a few examples online, but for some reason.
Say, for frame one, I want to take the field (either mc_field or bm_field) and copy 500px x 300px, starting at 140,230 from the source bitmap to mc_container.Then, for frame two, I want to copy 500px x 300px starting at 240,540 from the source bitmap to mc_container.

When using the Loader class to load an external SWF into another timeline and then displaying that SWF using addChild on the loader.content, one discovers to one's consternation that elements positioned off the stage of the external SWF are still displayed.To illustrate this with an example: suppose you have a 500x500 pixel "main" SWF, and it loads an external SWF at runtime and positions it in the center of the stage. And suppose that this external SWF's document properties set the stage width to 200 x 200 pixels. However, when authoring this external SWF, we draw a box that's 300 x 300 pixels, so part of this box is actually off-stage.
When you play the external SWF in the standalone Flash player, it is sized correctly at 200 x 200 pixels, and the rest of this box is cropped off.When you load this external SWF into the "main" SWF and use addChild() to put it on the stage, you will see the full 300 x 300 pixel boNow of course, we can simply solve the issue using a mask, but I'm wondering whether there's a more elegant solution that's built in, either to the MovieClip or the Loader or the LoaderInfo classes. Something that says "respect the document bounds of the original SWF" or "crop to stage dimensions".

I've read through umpteen Flash threads of frustrated users who export SWF and anything visible outside the stage appears in the SWF when opened in a browser.None of the solutions have worked for me.My file is called statement_onlineheader.fla.URL...I have my mask layer above a folder containing all other layers.I have also tried moving the mask layer above individual layers.Stuff outside the stage appears in the exported SWF.

I need to include a feature on an app I'm building that allows the user to upload an image and manipulate it in various ways including adding text. This is basically a way to design custom printed merchandise as is already found on many websites and will be overlayed on a background image of whatever is being customised e.g. T-Shirt.The basic requirements are: resize, crop and rotate image against background. Overlay and change position/colour/style of text against image. Preview the final design against the background.
I know that flash is possibly the best solution but I was really hoping to avoid it and use Jquery instead. While there is plenty out there for resizing and cropping images with javascript there doesn't seem to be anything that fits my needs.

I wrote a collision detection class that works off using BitmapData.hitTest. Basically, every update, the .draw method is called and then two BitmapData's are hitTest'ed against each other to see if there is a collision.It works pretty well, however if I start rotating the source MovieClip I use for the BitmapData, the transformations don't get registered in the draw method. So what I did was pass through a Matrix in the draw method. That works. But here's the actual issue. If I output the BitmapData to a Bitmap on the stage, I see that Bitmap is, in fact, rotating, but now it's exceeding the bounds (width and height) of the BitmapData. Which is cropping / clipping the image of the source MovieClip.
UPDATE: Basically, when the Bitmap clone of the MovieClip rotates outside the positive co-ordinate space, it doesn't get drawn. It rotates outside the bounds of the BitmapData set width and height. I can multiply the bounds by 2, and then center the bitmap inside the set bounds, but then the origin point is never fixed and the object is always being moved around. Works pretty well, but makes aligning the object to any specific point impossible.Here's my isolated test code. It requires you to have a MovieClip on the stage named "iTest". I used a fairly vertical arrow shape (higher than it is wide) so I could keep track of rotations visually accentuate the clipping problem:
var rotateTimer:Timer = new Timer(10);
function rotateObject_init():void
{

Right now my stage dimensions are 980 X 800 px. I need to cut or "crop out" the bottom portion of the footer because its height is too long. So I changed the stage dimensions to 980 X 600 px (and changed the corresponding dimensions in the embed tag in the index.html file to match). Doing this seems to cut out the bottom but at the same time adds space to the top and seems to distort the overall spacing. Is there a simple way to crop out the bottom of the stage (just like cropping out a section of a photo)?

I am really stuck with a loadmovie action that I cannot find the solution to. I have a website that I had to split up as the loading time was too long. I have used a loadMovie function and it loads the external movie but the problem is that the external movie requiring a little bit of time to load I want a preloader to come first.
I have attached screenshots of this (wssmain liks to the arch_mc1) . The problem is that the movie loads but the preloader doesn't play. Anybody has any ideas why?
The first screenshot shows the wssmain whereas the second (preloader2) shows the arch_mc1. If the fla files are required I will make them available for download.

I load my external image into emptymc which is inside mc_container:loadMovie("myimage.jpg", mc_container.emptymc); //placed on main timeline.This works fine. However when I go to a different frame within mc_container(specifically a frame without an instance of "emptymc") emptymc gets unloaded. As soon as I go back to a frame containing "emptymc" it no longer has the jpg.Is there a way I can keep the jpg loaded in emptymc without having to load it again?

I've been trying to load a simple .swf (home.swf) and have it play automatically on my existing fla project (as2). These are the steps I have taken.. 1) create MC, named "holder" 2) within first frame of MC, entered in.. loadMovie("home.swf","holder"); Nothing is showing, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. If you can help, I can send you the files I'm working with.

I am working on my first flash website and have been working on loadMovie & unloadMovie. The commands have been working for me and it will load & unload the external .swf in a contentHolderMC. The problem that I am encountering is the loaded .swf width is correct but the height is being reduced, I would guess to about 75%. Is there a way to maintain the external .swf's size? Even if I need to put the code into the external .swf.
I have tried creating a mask inside the contentHolderMC to match the size of the external .swf. When I have looked around for clues to the resizing, I am finding tutorials on how to resize the external .swf into a smaller Movie Clip. That's not what I am trying to do.

I have mc with isntance name: clip1 The movie second.swf loads into the position of clip1 but it's originally very big and I want it to make it smaller so it will fit to my site, if possible i would also like it not to be resizeable (so when someone will have smaller browser window it wouldnt move)

I am using loadmovie AS2 function PHP Code:
stop ();blankmov.loadMovie("newmovie.swf") to load external movie in my main flash file and it works fine, except one problem which is the new movie that loads in the main movie becomes transparent so there is no background displaying in this new external movie. Is there a way to use loadmovie function so that new movie holds its background and it does not become transparent?

I'm making a game where every level is a separate swf. The problem is, when each level starts, it doesn't load entirely before displaying on the screen, and gives me unpredictable results. I also don't want load waits between each level.Is there some way to do all my loadMovie's at the start, loading them into some place where they wont actually be on the stage, and then calling them out one by one as you play each level of the game?

I'm having a problem loading a external.swf from another folder outside of my main.swf. This external.swf is being loaded into a empty.swf movie clip. It works when the external.swf and the main.swf are in the same folder, but when i place the external.swf into a images/folder and change the action toloadMovie ("images/external.swf", "main"); it no longer works. Did i target it wrong?

I'm not much of a flash programmer, and am a bit lost. What I want to do is the following. I'll have a SWF with two layers, which is being called from a PHP page on my site. The top layer is just an invisible button, and I'd like it to link to a URL that I provide from the PHP page. The bottom layer I would like to load a separate SWF file, whose path I can also provide from the PHP page. I have the URL and the SWF path working just fine in PHP, but I don't know how to pass those values to flash, or how to get loadMovie to work like I want it. Can anyone provide some guidance?

First things first, please don't recommend I change to AS3 for this. I know, but It's far too late for that and not my project to be dictating..So I'm loading some external swfs in with the loadMovie command, in the normal manner with a button:
Code:
on (release) {
loadMovie("swfs/example-1.swf", _root.container);
}
But what I need, is to wedge a preloader in there somehow. As the swfs are around 1mb each.I'm already using the following as a preloader for the main file, so an adaptation of it would be very welcome so I can co-ordinate the graphics.With this on frame 1:
Code:
var amountLoaded:Number = _root.getBytesLoaded() / _root.getBytesTotal();
preloaderText.text = Math.round(amountLoaded * 100) + "%";
And this on frame 2:[code].....
