i was wondering if anyone have an idea on how to make a magnifying glass that would work with AS instead of 2 versions of the same bitmap one scaled down and the other in normal size..i think there should be a way to achive this effect using BitmapData in flash 8
View 5 RepliesLooking for some code to make magnifying glass over 1 image (can not be 2 images one, small one large) that can be moved to specific locations off of an event like clip load, or clip end.I can find this online for as3 but not as2.so for example...when image is displayed it should load magnifying glass in certain area, then as new clip starts or some type of event happens (not a click event) it should be able to move the glass to new coordinates.we are placing this in a system that CAN NOT use as3. must be as2.
View 0 RepliesI wrote a magnifying glass application from a tutorial, but it only effects movieclips:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.filters.DisplacementMapFilter;

creating a traditional magnifying glass effect - as you drag the magnifying glass the image gets bigger through the glass.
i'm trying to do something different. i would like a fuzzy image as the background and then the magnifying glass would make the image clear.
I have a cube with a material on the front face. I'm trying to create a magnifying glass in 2D for the 3D cube. Can anyone offer a suggestion for how to achieve this? I was thinking I might try to find the UV under the mouse in an OBJECT_OVER InteractiveScene3DEvent and somehow get the bitmap from the material, mask it, and move it around in relation to the mouse position- mimicking a magnifying effect. How to do that, I have no clue.
View 2 RepliesIn my flash page I made, in the right side, a horizontal infinite menu with a magnifying glass that has the same effect. This clip is made separately and is loaded into the page by an empty movie clip. All works well when is not in the page, but when it is loaded the lens is not moving. I figured out this problem putting this AS into the empty movie clip:
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
startDrag("lens");
} onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
stopDrag();
}
But another problem appeared. Wherever I use the mouse, the lens are acting as if I am manipulating it. The lens are moving according to the position of the mouse. What can I do?

But this is what happens: [URL] As you can see, a part of the left pic is showing as well. Depending on what resolution im on the pictures are shown differently but never with correct fullscreen for the middle picture. I'm attaching some of the code here where I'm guessing the problem might be.

The zoom on the cursor is working, but the mouse remains a magnifying glass even after it rolls off of the zoomable image.

Snap the position of magnifying glass part to the position of cursor.2. make the cursor invisible3. start drag on Rollover (i think i got this)4. stop the magnification as the user rolls out out the specific area (the jacket in this case)

btw, first I used assigned thumbContainer as the mc argument (outside the loadThumbs() function) and it worked but not exactly what I wanted... because I thought it is supposed to update when the movieclip is animated but it actually didn't... when I use a scroller, only the thumbs that are first loaded to the stage get the reflection..
I've been using BitmapData.copyPixels() to draw graphics onto a canvas (Bitmap).I need to rotate the resulting graphics without the use of draw() because it's vastly slower.How can I rotate the target graphic? I'm assuming that there might be a formula or library that I can use which will first reorganize the pixels that make up a graphic based on an origin (point) and radians.I'm pretty certain that I'm not capable of creating such logic, so if there are any known libraries that do this, that would be awesome.I'd like to achieve something similar to XNA's SpriteBatch.Draw() method, which accepts rotation as its 5th argument.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create a magnify glass tool.I am familiar with copypixels() function for Bitmaps so i've had no problem making a magnify glass on a regular bitmap image, the problem is i want to magnify a movieclip full of other movieclips, layers, videos, active links etc....is there an efficient way to do this? i really dont want to load the whole thing into another movieclip just bigger....?
The idea is that the user can scan over the content and read, view, watch in a slightly bigger view.I have a zoom function when the user goes to full screen mode but this isn't an option in this case.

View 2 RepliesI am making a game that involves a function that makes a bottle randomly explode in all directions. The function is on the main frame of my game and is linked to several movie clips inside the bottle. When the conditions are right, the movie clips should call the function and then fly out in random directions. The problem is, when i put the code directly onto the movie clips it works fine, but when i attempt to use it as a function is makes the entire movie move in random directions instead of the glass shard. My only guess as to why this happens is because this '_this.' command somehow applies to my main frame because that is where the function originates.
View 4 RepliesI've made a mobile version of my software, with low-res images and such, and I can now fully buffer all my content (including a 360 frame animation which is buffered to memory).

I am using a magnifying glass effect in flash, but because my content and rollover buttons sit "inside" the magnifying glass, so they appear magnified, the rollovers dont work when you mouse over them because technically you aren't mousing over them, if that makes sense.

public static function loadTile(tileDir:String = "empty"):void

I am trying to do tiling with sprites. I want my tiles to be interactive, so that is why I am using the sprite object instead of using regular bitMaps to represent my tiles. You might be wondering why I wouldnt just use graphics.beginBitmapFill(tImage); and graphics.drawRect(0, 0,tWidth ,tHeight ); to pick out the tiles I want to use. Well reason being is because it turns out that drawRect() first and second parameters actually alter the location of where the actual sprite sits at.
So if I set the x and y properties of the sprite to x = 20, and y = 20. then I set my drawRect(20,20). it actually adds an extra 20 pixels to my x and y coords of my sprite. And I know the reason why, I just need to know a better way.
