Can anyone help me manipulate bitmapdata to get a similar effect to the one shown here:URL...I have converted the contents of a movieclip into bitmapdata but haveno idea how you manipulate sections like that above. .

I have BitmapData of a JPEG image but the JPEG was saved with pretty low quality so there are some pixels that make it look ugly (JPEG artifacts). Without those pictures it would look okay, is there a way of removing them in AS3?
Was thinking something like a ColorMatrixFilter or similar?
Is there a way to manipulate or regulate the behaviour of the bounce (tween) effect? Amount and how often it bounces?

I'm trying to figure out how to replicate an effect I've seen on the adidas site and another site. I'm not too sure what the effect is called or where to start looking for guidance on doing it myself so I thought i'd start here for some help or a point in the right direction. I think it might be called a mosaic but not sure.

Supposing you're in Windows Explorer (in WinXP that is), and you drag a file and hold it over the folder you're going to drop it into. Now, when you're holding it over the folder, the folder highlights.How can I recreate this effect in Flash MX? I have a "tile" movieclip, and a "container" movieclip. The tile is meant to be dragged into the container. In the situation where the tile is being dragged and held over the container (ie, mouse button has not been released), the container is meant to change colour.

View 3 Repliesi am creating a very simple particle system. My only issue is trying to create a blurry trail effect on the particles in motion. I started by creating a large bitmap container, and applying a colormatrix filter and a blur filter . It seems to do the trick , but the issue now, is i have to make this container cover the stage, which has a two unwanted a effects:
-it's slower
-it covers all the content beneath. Perhaps my approach to creating trails is wrong?
i can post the whole class, but before i litter this post with long lines of code, is there a way to place a bitmapdata drawing over content and still get the desired effect. NOTE, if make transparency false in the bmdata, i loose the effect
I have this function:
public static function cloneDpObj(target:DisplayObject):Bitmap
{
var duplicate:Bitmap;

to clone target displayObject (MovieClip or Sprite) and return Bitmap Object.
It can get bitmap from the target object, but it seem don't get all the area of the image.
By give the width and height of target object, but the target object in design was applied by Glow Effect, so my question can we get the all view of bitmapdata from a displayobject?

I am trying to use the reflect class from "http://pixelfumes.blogspot.com/2007/03/reflection-class-v3-with-source .html" but I keep getting this error:

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.

I am having an issue with using BitmapData.draw(stage). I am getting the following error:
SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/bla...bla...bla.swf cannot access null. No policy files granted access. Here is a portion of my code:

I am having trouble manipulating instances of xml loaded pictures. I want to change their x and y position and tween them etc. I have loaded them onto the stage from an xml file, and given them all individual names but the most I can do now is either move them all together, spread them evenly on an x or y axis, or remove one of them using getChildByName. What I can't do is what I want to do, which is place 20 or so images in an exact place, ie. a square.My main difficulty seems to be that I don't know how to reference an individual xml node and move it.

View 3 RepliesI'm using AS 3.0, and I'm trying to change the frames inside a specific object's timeline.The change will be triggered by keyboard events, but I don't know whether to add the eventlistener to the stage or to this. Also, it doesn't seem to be responding to anytime I use a gotoAndStart() or gotoAndStop() it just ignores it completely. Is it calling the stage's timeline when I call this? It also doesn't help when i add this.gotoAndStart() or this.gotoAndStop(), so how do you change the frames outside of the main timeline?
View 3 RepliesI'm working on an application where I'm drawing some rectangles on the screen, and then will need to manipulate the shapes (change their size, location). I tried to do something with .drawRect and clearing the shape each time I was manipulating it, but the RAM usage was spiking and then falling (presumeably because i keep reinitializing a new component and then removing it, and garbage collection was cleaning it out). This seems like its probably not the most efficient way to do it.
Is there a way for me to just create a shape once, and then move it around on a canvas (and change its width and height without all this RAM usage?
I have a flash map of the UK which is divided up into the counties, a user clicks on a county and is then directed to a new url, eg. [url].... The flash map remains on that new page in case they wish to select a new region.
What I want to know: is it possible to manipulate the flash so that if the [url]...then london remains highlighted on the flash map. I presume I will have to use some AS which is fine as long as it is AS3.
I'm trying to manually dispatch events on a textfield so I can manipulate it indirectly via code (e.g. place cursor at a given set of x/y coordinates). However, my events seem to have no effect.
I've written a test to experiment with this phenomenon:
package sandbox {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.text.TextField;
[Code].....
As we can see, the events are being captured and replayed successfully. However, no change occurs in tf2 - the mouse cursor does not appear in tf2 as we would expect. In fact, the cursor remains in tf even after the tf2 events are dispatched.
What are the inbuilt functions available in flex,actionscript that I can use to find a node with a specific name inside xml variable and what functions could help me manipulate it? Something like Xquery in SQL! I dont want to use for loop everytime I want to manipulate a xml variable. For example, if I want to "cut" node inside this xml and add another attribute to it named enabled pro grammatically. Or how could I find "Find Next" node and delete it?
