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).
View 2 RepliesI have created a image cropping tool in flex using core copyPixel method.croppedBitmapData.copyPixels(croppedBitmapData, clipCan, new Point(0, 0));I have to crope area of dementions 20*20 and show this cropped area in an image of demention 250*350. Every thing going well.My problem is image distortion.Even i am using this method for smoothing image contents on complete.
private function smoothImage(event:Event):void
{
var bitmap: Bitmap = ((event.target as Image).content as Bitmap);

I've got an object in the library that's a basic rectangle with an outline. A for loop creates a grid dynamically. I want to create a mask that goes over this grid. I'm using "my_object.mask = my_mask", but to no avail
View 1 RepliesI wonder whether anyone could give me an idea of where I am going wrong with this.I am loading images into a sliding menu which will act as a thumbnail viewer, the structure of which is: "thumbsContainer" (movieclip) nested inside "galleryPane" (movieclip). The images are loaded into movieclips named "all_thumbs", which are added to the thumbsContainer stage.
I would like to mask the content of the thumbsContainer, so that only the images physically within the thumbsContainer border will be viewable. I have tried adding my coded mask to the thumbsContainer stage, and tying it to the thumbsContainer; and have separately tried the same with the all_thumbs movieclip - but no matter how I organise my code, I can't get this to work. If the mask is tied to the thumbsContainer mc - that element disappears; if the mask is tied to the all_thumbs mc, only the background to the thumbsContainer is visible. Either way, I cannot get thumbnails to display through the mask. No thumbnails at all will display on stage.
I've had a good look through the books I have and online, but with no joy so far.
I'd be really grateful if someone could give me a steer with this.

Lets say I had a rectangular sprite that could fit about 10 'list items'. However, I have like 100 list items. What I desire is adding all these 100 list items to this one rectangular sprite, so 10 will fit and the 90 should be masked, and I can scroll through this rectangular sprite (by dragging the box upwards) to view more list items. This means that only 10 list items are visible at one time but I want to scroll through all the list items dynamically.

I'm coming from AS3 and I'm trying to mask a SWF file that's being imported in but it's doing something pretty funky. The SWF file is coming in fine, but when I'm masking it, it shows the shape I'm masking with, but it's also masking because nothing is going beyond its' edges.
{
var mask_mc:Shape = new Shape();
mask_mc.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);

I've just created a sliding transition, see code below, which masks an image however when I run the swf it doesn't work and just displays the whole image without a mask.

I'm loading an external image to use as part of the background for each section (other section, new external image). But that image needs to be animated in, in a certain shape (I have created a kind of spatter animation).I always use an Movieclip container to place my external images. So on one layer I have this container clip. I mask this layer with a layer on top of that one, which has the splatter animation (this splatter animation is not a movieclip, just some keyframes with the animation).Everything works, except that the image is not loaded. I checked everything, maybe I put the wrong url or something. But nothing.
So I tried unchecking the mask option. Ok... now my image did load. But as soon as I check the masking of that layer, again I'm left without image.It seems to me that it has problems with loading images that are begin masked. How can I fix this? I tried google'ing, but few solutions were found. And I'm nog programer-guru. I use flash semi-design/semi-program.
I have a 8x 10 array of mcs on stage each which contains a small image. So, there are 8 parent clips (columns) each containing 6 child clips containing the thumbnail images. If the movie clip arrays are created dynamcally (therefore loaded into the top layer) how can I mask them? I'd like to be able to mask 1 vertical (parent) column at a time (so only 1 of the 8 columns (6 images) is visible.
View 14 RepliesFlash CS4 AS2 Okay -I have a flash movie, and I want to apply a mask to it. The mask I want to apply, or rather, the "shape" of the mask I want to apply is an external image that was made in photoshop. The shape is an irregular one with a bunch of jagged edges. the shape itself is solid, with a transparent background. I've tried saving it as a PNG with transparent b/g, and I've tried importing the PSD file directly into Flash - however - when I go to use this shape for a mask, the mask that is applied is an entire rectangle bounding the imported image - rather than along the edges.Hopefully you can see what I'm trying to do here, and perhaps offer some insight on how I can get this image into flash (let's stick with the idea that the jagged edged manner of the image is too difficult to recreate inside of flash).

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...

View 2 RepliesI 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.
View 6 RepliesI would like to make a very simple (well, looks simple anyway) image gallery, like Ilyas da Pom's at [URL]..
I want the image part to scale to fit each image dynamically. I'm a brand-spanking new Flash novice, and any guidance would help really; this is just a tiny little personal project, not to be used anywhere commercially.
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?

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.
