I'm have a huge MovieClip on the screen that I need to take screenshots for only portions of it.
Here is my functions that handle this,
This function calls a function in the camera to take a picture and then displays that picture on the screen[code]...
I have been doing much research on this - including creating a custom skin but cannot seem to be able to do it. I just want to have one border around both the checkbox and label. I also want a background color which I did manage to via opaqueBackground property (setting it via AS3). Just can't seem to find the key to have a border as well.
View 1 RepliesI'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 5 RepliesI need to be able to draw a thick patterend line between 2 points in AS3, I can't use the draw API because it doesn't all me to actually put detail (pattern etc) into the thickness of the line, I thought about perhaps using the line to create a bitmap version and then using that as a mask, but I remember many years ago seeing some examples that use a movieclip as a source for a line.

How can I used ActionScript to draw on different frames of a movie clip. That is, make it so that
movieClip.gotoAndStop(0);
Will show something different to
movieClip.gotoAndStop(1);

View 11 RepliesI'm still developing a game and I have some issues. Either I add a movieclip-child making it look like i am mowing the lawn or i draw graphics with blendmode.Erase erasing the top-layer.
Now i would like the addChild-solution because i can rotate, adjust size etc. very easy but ofcourse it laggs after a while. How can i make the added children into bitmaps or something? So there isnt 10000 movieclips on the stage..

How I can draw inside movieclip/graphic element with Actionscript?
If i have example movieclip-element in my project and want to draw a single dot in its coordinate (10,10), how I can do that?
I cannot get the lines to draw onto the top of the MovieClip box_mc.At this pojnt, my solution is to change the alpha of box_mc to 0. Now I can see my drawings which are under the box_mc but keep within the boundries of the MovieClip.Maybe my thinking is too concrete, but I was trying to get the drawing lines to stay on top of the MovieClip box_mc like it was a small drawing board.I have tried place a reference to the stage in various places and use addChildAt() in order to see f I can change the MovieClip's place in the hierarchy but so far nothing has worked.

I have a movieclip that has a keyframe at every frame, and I'd like my code to be able to draw to the individual keyframes within that clip. I'm generating images for animation, but the code takes a few seconds per image, so the animation can't simply be generated on the fly. I want the code to draw all of the images into the movieclip and then play the animation as a loop once that's done. It seems like this would be a pretty straighforward method, but I can't get it to work. It seems that when I draw into the movieClip, it ignores the fact that I have keyframes there. Whatever I draw appears at every frame as if it's drawn onto a different layer that just has the default keyframe at frame 1. To test, I manually put drawings into the keyframes, and they loop back as expected. The only problem seems to be that the animation images generated by actionScript appear all on top of each other and held for the entire movieClip loop. The following is code that I had hoped would draw into frame 2 of the movieClip. I assume that this is naive:
clipInstance.gotoAndStop(2);
clipInstance.lineStyle(1, 0x000000);
clipInstance.beginFill(0xFFFF00);

I'd like to be able to draw in a specific layer. I've tried using a mock MoviceClip (empty) that lies in it's specific layer like such:
Code:
mock_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("line_mc", depth);
line_mc.lineStyle(1,0x000000,100);
line_mc.moveTo(150,200);
line_mc.lineTo(300,200);
But it just does not work! Gaaaah, im getting crazy over this. Aren't we supposed to be able to draw into any MovieClip?
I'm trying to export my movie clip into an image, everything works fine but when the user draws in negative coordinates, the draw bitmap command doesn't get my movieclip as I need, here's a graphic explanation of what's going on:As you can see the user can draw in any part of my movie clip (black border), the 0,0 coordinates are in this example located in the black spot. when I get the bounds of my object I get correct values (in this case i get negative x and y and the correct width and height), but when I apply the draw bitmap command what its captured is the area represented with the red border, the height and width values are correct but it captures from the 0,0 coordinates and not from the coordinates I want! anyone? i have a dead line approaching.this is the code:

I have a MovieClip that has 2 images inside it:
1) An image from the FLA's library.
2) An image that is loaded dynamically from a server (read from XML file).
When I try to draw the MC into the BitmapData, I get a blank image.
Code:
ActionScript Code:
var destImg:BitmapData = new BitmapData(_root.picW,_root.picH,false);
destImg.draw( mcPicture );
I'm using Flash MX 2004, and using the loadMovie() function to draw an external .swf file into a blank movieclip. My question is how the browser (let's assume Internet Explorer) caches this information. I know that after a Flash movie is loaded within an HTML page, the browser caches it, so that on the next load the movie appears nearly instantly from the cache. However, does it also cache the movie loaded using loadMovie(), or does it always redownload that external movie regardless?

View 3 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.

The problem is not playing part of an mp3, I know that can be done. But I'd like to cut down on bandwidth by loading a specified two-minute portion of each mp3. These files can be up to 20mb, and since users will play many of these songs (and probably move on after a minute or two of listening), it would be very inefficient to load the whole mp3. Can this be done or is there another method you can suggest? Possibly a server side script that slices and/or lowers the mp3's bitrate?
View 2 RepliesThis should be straightforward, but I'm having problems getting a portion of a string from a dynamic textfield, which I need to manipulate. Say I have a dynamic textfield onstage that successfully gets populated with some data from a query string e.g.
Code:

So basically I want to get a hold of the part after FlashVars: for further manipulation. I've tried something like this: (assuming that above text is visible in a textfield called t1)
Code:
testvar = t1.text;
testvar.toString();
finalvar = testvar.split(":");

I have a Template that I bought for a client that wanted it. It has background looping music and my customer wants to add videos (FLV), no problem. Now she wants the background music to sop when the FLVs are playing and start when I exit the FLV and go to another portion of the site. I hope I am being clear.
I need the background music to sop playing when the FLV videos are playing. I have Google and found nothing really.
