I have a movieclip that I load a jpg image into. I can rotate the movieclip & scale it in x & y directions which is great BUT has anyone got any ideas how I could distort it into a trapezium using actionscript?[code]Scaling the y is fine, but I effectively want to scale the x dimension by different amounts depending on what the y position is.

View 3 RepliesI know how to use the Bitmap transformation matrix to manipulate an image using ActionScript, but I cannot �distort� an image. I can only scale and skew.
I did a bit of research before posting my message, and I found a very complicated process of using Fuse along with Sandy (custom class) and some other custom classes. But there must be an easier way.
I simply want to distort an image like in the example below (I am referring to the one with the caption "No")

View 1 RepliesAll I want to do is have a word start as a normal word, and then distort into a U shape, like the word is smiling. I've been googling and tutorialing and all I have come up with is breaking the word up and then using the distort tool, but it distorts every corner of every letter, isn't there a way to distort the whole word just a little? Also, when I "create shape tween" the text dissapears and when I "create motion tween" it needs to turn into a graphic so then I cant even use the distortion tool. What do I do?
View 2 RepliesIm unsure if this is possible, but I'm looking for a way to distort a rectangle to become a curved shape,So far I can do this through using a variety of masks and blends, to create the illusion, but the as the shape isn't really distorted. Thus artifacts in the image are not distorted.
View 8 Replies[URL] I just watched a tutorial where they apply bnes to deform a "bitmap" image. Their image didn't distort like my image. Why is this happening. I imported an image then I "selected "break apart" and then I added bones to it. When I move the bones it makes the image distort, but in this tutorial here the image doesn't distort. What is wrong?

View 2 RepliesWhat I would like to do is to take a loaded GIF file as a Bitmap and then distort it by stretching and shrinking parts of it, so it would look like it got squished up against the screen. I'm pretty sure that there's no easy way in Flash to go beyond scaling and shearing, but I wonder if there might be some simple techniques to accomplish this kind of effect. By the way, I've also thought of pre-deforming the images in GIMP and saving them there, but I can't find a simple way to do it without learning their scripting language.

View 1 RepliesI am developing some Text effects in AS3. I did complete curve text effect but are getting problem with bulge text. Because bulge text distort each characters so i have to convert the text to bitmap format to distort. The problem is the quality is not good enough, especially when we resize the object. I see in some websites they solved this issue and it works pretty good, like as [URL].
View 1 RepliesAs part of my flash design, I want to have some tweening text. At the beginning of the tween, the height of the text needs to be distorted ('too tall'), and at the end of the tween, the text will have settled into its correct height. However, when I try to scale the text in the first keyframe of the tween, the font size changes along with the text field height. Normally, I could just make the text into an image, but this needs to be a dynamic text field. Is there no way to scale the height of the text field and distorting the text height without changing the font size?
View 1 RepliesI've written a simple MovieClip replacement that converts an existing imported MovieClip to a sequence of BitmapData. This removes the requirement for Flash to render vector data in the MovieClip on each frame.
But BitmapData has a huge memory footprint. I've tried converting the BitmapData to a ByteArray and using the compress() method. This results in a significantly smaller memory footprint. But it has proven impractical. For each redraw, I tried uncompressing()'ing the ByteArray, then using SetPixels to blit the data to the screen, then re-compressing() the frame. This works but is terribly slow.
So I was wondering if anybody else has an approach I could try. In Flash, is it possible to compress bitmap data in memory and quickly blit it to the screen?
I wonder how native animated GIFs work in Flash. Does it uncompress them to BitmapData behind the scenes, or is frame decompression done on the fly?

I have movieclip which contains child movieclip. when child movie clip finish to play i want to run a function in a parent movieclip. so I made a custom event dispatcher in the first frame of the child movieclip:
[Code]...
My goal with this actionscript is to create a new movieclip for each top-level XML node and include in the movieclip two separate textfields, an image, extend the movieclips to two row if necessary, rotate each movieclip differently depending its parity and add a hover event based on the movieclips instance name. I have achieved each goal except for the hover bit. The reason I cant access the instance name outside of the for loop is because the instance name only lasts for duration of the loop. Here is my current code (at pastie address).
