I have played around with the Dynamically Loading Bitmaps With Smoothing from Tinic U ro as well as somme other advices from people on the kirupa forum. The code works great. I am trying to load different Bitmaps, fullscreen, on the click of a button (or any other event). The images load, but they just stack on top of each others and thus, they don't resize to the stage properly. Here is the code with the attached FLA: ( you'll need 3 jpg named bg1.jpg, bg2.jpg, bg3.jpg, all in the same folder as the fla)
I am loading some bitmaps(transparent pngs) that I want to scale and remain smooth. We all know the problems with flash player 8+ anti-aliasing the images and not allowing the images to be forced to be smoothed. I want the png to retain its transparency. I use flash8 actionscript 2.
Here is the PHP Code: var mclis:Object = new Object(); //An object that listens for a callback notification from the MovieClip Loader event handlers. mclis.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) { thisHeightInit = target_mc._height; thisWidthInit = target_mc._width; [Code] .....
I want somehow to apply smoothing for all dynamically loaded PNGs in my flash file. I have flash file that loads a lot of different images, and there are a lot of flash files like that, so I don't have an option to set smoothing on every bitmap by hand.
I was wondering, if there's perhaps some way to change smoothing to all instances of Bitmap class.
I'm setting up an online picture gallery. I'm trying to make it easy for the client to insert specific images, dynamically loaded, have them appear at 63 percent. If the user clicks on one, it enlarges to 100 percent. Trouble is, when the image is at 63 percent, it is not smooth and looks terrible,All the BitmapData class solutions posted online work for individual images. But I can't figure out how to automate the process in a for loop. At this point I'm not even worrying about the enlarging. I just want the images to load at 63 percent and look smooth.Below is the code for two images. Later I'll increase this to 25.
On the stage are two colored rectangle movie clips: toon1 and toon2. I want the dynamically loaded jpegs to load inside them. The client will manually edit the last lines whenever she feels like it, to choose which images to load.What I need is an elegant AS2 solution in which any dynamically loaded jpeg will be smoothed.
for (i=1; i<=2; i++) { this["toon"+i].createEmptyMovieClip("cartoon",this.getNextHighestDept h()); this["toon"+i].cartoon._xscale = this["toon"+i].cartoon._yscale=63;
I've tried a bunch of options but can't seem to smooth a dynamically loaded bitmap from another domain. I've come to believe this is impossible without a cross domain file. Is it possible or not possible?
I keep getting:
SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: LoaderInfo.content: http://....swf cannot access http://...png. No policy files granted access. at flash.display::LoaderInfo/get content() at Main/showLogo()
So outside of putting a crossdomain.xml file out there, any options?
I've got a nifty bit of script that loads some images from an XML file into flash. It loads the pictures into specified movieclips:
ActionScript Code: xmlImages.reset(); xmlImages = new XML(); xmlImages.ignoreWhite = true; xmlImages.onLoad = loadImages; xmlImages.load("[URL]"); function loadImages(loaded) { [Code] .....
Each instance of the movieclips are called picture_mc1, picture_mc2 etc. On the frame where these picture_mc's sit, I've got this code: ActionScript Code: function randomImage() { if (loaded == filesize) { image = (imageFileName[0]); picture_mc1.loadMovie(imageFileName[0], 1); picture_mc1._xscale=23; picture_mc1._yscale=23; [Code] .....
Everything works fine, but my image scaling is making my picture_mc's look really pixilated. I've seen references to bitmap image smoothing, but i'm not sure the best way to approach this. It seems that each time I try and smooth my images, the code is smoothing the image placeholder, rather than the jpg that's being loaded into it.
I'm loading some external images and trying to get them to smooth, but for some reason it's not happening. i've been trying everything i can find on the internet over the past 10 hours or so, and nothing's worked.The code on my movieclip (first frame) is:
[code]...
my images are very high-res, so i know it isn't a resolution issue. anyway, they look crappy when they're sized down too. also, i'm pretty sure smoothing is the issue, because i have a very similar image in the library (a detail from the same shot, and similar resolution, etc.), and it looks great when i allow smoothing in the bitmap properties panel.
I have created a galley with dynamically loaded multiple swf files. Half of them contain animations running at 60fps. The other half are flash movies at 30fps. If I select the speed of my gallery file to be 30fps animations play slow. If speed of gallery file is 60fps flash movies play too fast. How can I override the speed of the individual .swf's so they all play evenly.
some AS3 script for each individual movie? i.e. animation speed (individual file) speed: 1/2?..
I have a jpeg that I have exported to actionscript via the library. The jpeg class is "adcouncil". If I want to add it to the stage I would use the following code:
Code: var adcouncil = new adcouncil1(150,150); var myImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap(adcouncil) printMC.addChild(myImage);
The problem is that I want to ad these Bitmaps to the stage dynamically. My first instinct is:
Code: var adcouncil = new this["adcouncil1"](150,150); var myImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap(adcouncil) printMC.addChild(myImage);
I would like to have a SWC file with many bitmaps stored in it, which can the be called and loaded dynamically when they are needed.The SWC has been made, with the Bitmaps set to export.In my main class I am running into trouble trying to access these classes.Different sources are offering different advice, could someone advise the best way to gain access to these classes within the SWC, and the best way to access the SWC from within my file.URL]they offer a solution which involves having to statically name the classes at runtime (these arent exported bitmapdata classes but same idea)this second link is a person describing a solution to the problem described in the first link. His solution involves what appear to be either flex or command line compiler directives
I was wondering which method would be the most efficient (run faster)...Lets say I have multiple layering of animations, say a moving sky, then birds, then fireworks ordered respectively. Is better to have one bitmapdata (called BD) then do a copypixel of sky, then bird, then firework at every tick (I'm using a timer) and put it in one bitmap.
Or is it better to have 3 bitmaps (and put into 3 different sprites) with the animations separated, so when I update the birds I don't have to update the sky.share any knowledge on pros or cons of using multiple bitmaps vs using one bitmap in that situation. Aside for the increase of initial memory used.
The next bitmap I have is the problem. I started with working on creating the playable avatar. He is on the same layer, but he only works if I add him AFTER the tile bitmap has been completed, AND if I call him with a listener.Call me crazy, but this seems to be when it works. The main class builds the tiles into the bitmap data, and while this is running, if the certain tile is where the main character starts, it calls the Hero class, and that class creates the new bitmap data. Doesn't work before running the loop that adds the tiles, nor after. weird right?
I've been trying to get the hang of working with bitmaps. I can redraw them using draw(), and after some trouble managed to redraw an externally loaded file using copyPixel(). What I can't do is redraw several images loading from XML.[code]...
i got a basic problem with loading a Bitmap from a URLRequest.The problem is, that loading a Bitmap is to much code to write it every time I want to load an Image. So i thought about some function:
var bitmap1:Bitmap = bitmapForURL("test1.gif"); var bitmap2:Bitmap = bitmapForURL("test2.gif"); function bitmapForURL(url:String):Bitmap
I have a custom Image class that I am using to store individual image information for a gallery application:
package mtm.test { public class Image extends Object {
[Code]....
This is how I would implement the above:
var image:Image = new Image(); //I would be loading external bitmaps but for the example I'll just create new ones: image[BitmapThumbnail] = new BitmapThumbnail(new BitmapData(65,65,false,0x000000));
[Code]....
Is there a simpler way to do this? I feel that there is a lot of repeated code within the BitmapType sub-classes.
At the least, this helps to avoid a bunch of for loops trying to find the requested size, and it seems portable to situations where more or less sizes of Bitmaps are required.
Running into an issue where the if I add a Bitmap image into a movieclip the bitmap will appear slightly Blurry.When I add the Bitmap directly to the scene it appears normal. Is their a property for a movieclip that would explain this behavior? or is their some other solution to keep bitmaps from becoming blurred?
I have an overlay that I pull up in response to a button click. This overlay is dynamically populated by a TextField, a MovieClip, and a Bitmap. I used to add them to the overlay with addChild() and induce a index out of bounds error to make them go away (I was in a hurry and I don't think I'm using removeChild() right). Well, I decided to do it better and dynamically change the object inside the holding variable. However... the Bitmap is gone. It won't appear. The overlay puller function takes a data-holding class I made and the picture is a BitmapData object.
I can't use the line new Bitmap(picture) because it doesn't work; that makes nothing appear. So, I guess my question is can I store a line of text in a variable and then use that variable as code? Like... Could I have something like this and get an image as an output? I imagine it could be done with XML, but is there another way? I tried storing the constructor in a variable and calling it with object.constructor, but I don't know if I was using it right and it didn't work.
I am trying to make a frame arround an uploaded picture by repeating 1 image over and over again. The user will have to enter the real dimentions of the picture and the image will be scaled acordingly so that the frame will look as big as it should. The problem is that when I get a bigger pickture and I scale the images something goes wrong and there is some smearing in the movie clip. When I move it to X:0 and Y:0 all is well. When I move it to the center of the screen the smearing is there. Here's the code I use:
I have many base images that I need to combine to construct larger images to draw on Sprite objects. I understand that the beginBitmapFill() method of the Graphics class renders a bitmap on a Sprite's graphics object. So I figure that I need to manipulate the BitmapData object, adding the base images to produce a composite image that I can then draw on my Sprite.
My question is: Is there any clean and relatively hassle free way of doing this? Is there a way to draw Bitmaps to certain locations in a Sprites graphics context? Could you copy a Graphics object onto another at certain coordinates and build it that way?
When i load an external swf file it looses quality and renders blurry. But the swf itself (the external one) looks perfectly fine standalone. Now i ask myself, is this really a flashbug or what the heck is it?
Because i wrote an elearning player wich references hundreds of this files, its not very funny to see the quality dropping. To get some meat for you, i created a small site, wich should make the problem much clearer:
I'm working on a chat application that retreives user profile icons from remote sources (e.g. Blogger, Yahoo, Gravatar, etc). Easy to get the images in a Loader and display them. The problem is that a single thread could have hundreds of records, but probably only 10-20 active commenters. In a standard browser, each <img...> link after the first one is cached, so you only hit the source site once. Is there any way to cache/store/copy those images within Flash to avoid requesting the same image over and over?
I can do it in the Local sandbox by accessing the BitmapData of the loader content and cloning a new bitmap for subsequent instances of the same request URL, but of course once the application moves to the Internet the security system requires a Policy file allowing bitmap access. I don't need to manipulate the bitmap at all, just copy it. Or reference it as content from multiple Sprites, or something along that line. Once I've downloaded the image once, I don't see why the security system would prevent me from displaying it unchanged as many times on the page as needed.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to compare a single bitmap against perhaps an array of saved bitmaps to see how close of a match it may be to any one of the bitmaps stored in the array. Right now I'm running a for loop that uses the bitmapData.compare() method to try to compare to see how much of a variance there is but... to be honest I'm at a loss as to how to use the resulting data to do so. Does anyone know of any good method to accomplish what I am trying to do? Forget looking at my code it's a waste of time because simply, it's not working.
seen a few different as 2.0 code for a drag and drop, doesn't have the smoothness of as 3. Anyone have a link to drag and drop multiple movieclips, no target necessary. Just a smooth drag and drop.
I've an SWF which loads dinamically six FLV files controlled by actionscript code.My goal is to guarantee a smooth playback, so I've to do a global preload of each file.So, I've created an array. Each element of this array contains a custom objecte named PreloadFLV that contains a reference to a NetStream object in a field named flv_ns.To process the preloading, I do before a NetStream.seek(1), then NetStream.pause() and then with a Timer I check the percent progress.When the percent progress is equal to 100, I start the clip.This is a small piece of code:
I have approximately five external movies I am loading into one main movie. I load the movies using various buttons in the main movie.
My issue is this...I press a button and the first movie loads and then runs to the end of the timeline. Works great.When a push a second button the second movie loads and runs to the end of the timeline. Works great also.but I hate how there is a blank space between the movies.
All the movies start with a white stage and end with full graphics. When I press a second button, the movie on the stage disappears immediately and I am left with a white stage for a few seconds while the loading movie animates onto the stage.
I want there to be a cross-fade or some effect that allows the loaded movie to remain on the stage while the second movie is loading. Is there a way to make this happen?
I'm including the code I have for loading movies so you can see what I am working with thus far.
