I'm working on developing a casual FB game in AS2 where one of the features is that the user can put on a cropped version of their FB profile pic on the sprite's head. I don't know how to send bitmap data over the wire in AS2, and since I'm sadly not using AS3 (which supports ByteArray), am looking for an alternative way out.

I am working on somethign at the moment which allows a user to use a local connection to send and receive bitmap data. But I am havign a slight problem. Ok so at the moment I am using code from the bytearray live jpeg encoder to encode bitmap data as jpeg and then send it on to another swf opened at the same time when I click on an mc in the send swf.
So here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
// CODE INSIDE OF SENDER
var localConnection:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
import asfiles.encoding.JPEGEncoder;
[Code].....
But what ends up happening each time is that it seems to draw only the bottom right quadrant of the mc I am targeting. As shown by the screenshot I have provided. When the user clicks the first of the blue buttons it should send the whole bitmap.
I was creating a program and now i need to send a bitmap data and ssome text fields information to a php file in my site, how can i do that?
View 2 RepliesI'm cutting my teeth in actionscript 3 on a game that has a character running through a world. So, I have set up my Hit Testing by using the bitmap data hit test method, since I figured my world is going to be destructible - it'd be nice to update the level and then redraw it and have the character interact with the new change. (That works beautifully) I am however; a bit confused as to how I have my hit Testing set up. I've been messing around with it, and it works for now - but I'm not sure why.. currently, I have a character set up by using a class I built and using a series of animations I created. So, this character has a walking and falling animation, etc. This is a movie clip.
Then there's a bitmap 'emptyBitmap' with bitmap data created - however; I never really added this as a child to the character. This is sized to the dimensions of my character. My level is created as a movielip, then it's drawn to a bitmap - when the level movieclip is changed, the bitmap redraws, and that's how this updates.

I searched around and found some helpful things, but I am still missing something I think...
LoadVariables() won't work across domains, right, so, is it porrible to send data to a CGI script via getURL and not have a popup window on send?

How to send a bitmap via email?
I'm trying to animate this scene where the plug at the end of a blue wire would snap-in to the white colored socket. Its a simple process, but the tricky part is that I have to make it interactive. In other words, the user has to mouse-click on the plug and drag it close to the white box where the plug automatically snaps in place.
I also need to make the blue-colored wire flexible/bendable to follow the mouse's movement. i'm thinking bones, but don't know how to mate it with the mouses' movement. And I'm rather clueless about ActionScript 3.
I want to draw some combination of bitmaps, flash shapes, vectors, text etc and draw them programmatically into my movie using ActionScript, and then get every "rendered" pixel of my movie (at 100% view) into an array that I send to another program over TCP/IP. The first part of the question is if its possible to render a frame that is a collection of Flash elements as a bitmap? I know that I can iterate through a bitmap and get every pixel using the getPixel method but I'm trying to access the final rendered frame displayed on my screen, including, as I said Flash shapes and text.
The second question is what would be the best way to send this "video frame" over TCP/IP? Would I use an XML socket connection? That is the only way I know how to send data out of Flash over TCP/IP but I don't know if it is the only way - the help page says the data needs to be formatted as XML, which seems unwieldly for this application. I'm doing this now by using Max/MSP/Jitter to do a screen capture the size and location of my Flash movie and then send out the resulting matrix using a "jit.net.send" object (which lets you send frames of video over TCP/IP), but this is too clumsy for the installation I am building.
I have to produce a generic API that provides game tracking functions (track what was clicked, track if a certain event occurred, etc). This generic API needs to wire into one of two (or more) bespoke tracking solutions provided by third parties (e.g. itracku.com and itrackutoo.com) in the background.The bespoke tracking solutions sport similar functions (trackClick, trackEvent), but vary dramatically in the number of arguments they require (e.g. one requires 1 argument to be passed, the other 6).In order for the generic API to easily switch between hitting either bespoke solution, am I right in assuming that ALL arguments need to be scoped out beforehand in order to facilitate switching tracking solutions? The desire is to NOT have to recomplie .swfs in order to switch tracking solution (i.e. it's switched via an XML config). I was thinking of achieving this by having my generic API functions accept a single object as an argument, e.g.[code]

I have a site with an SWF that I can put some metrics into, such as ZIP Code, Weight, etc.. then, it takes that info and gives me shipping rates.
I need to build a front-end site that I can have a forms page that will push data to the backend SWF, and then return the data back from the SWF to the front end.
Front-end -> SWF (Zip Code, Weight, Size) -> *Calculates* -> Front-End
That should be the flow.. So I need to send data to the backend, GET the data that it calculated, and return the results to my front-end.
I currently have a Flash app that gets populated by parsing data from an external XML file. However, I need to get the XML data into a (JSP) session and can't neccesarily have an external XML file--any suggestions? Can I put the XML string into a hidden input field in a form on the HTML? Can Flash communicate with that HTML? Or are one of the below methods recommended:
* FlashVars
* Flash Remoting
* Web services
* JavaScript - call JS function
* fscommand
* ExternalInterface
Using localconnection i can send data from one swf to another.
[Swf 1] Send data to [SWF 2] - This works with LocalConnection
[SWF 2] Sends this data to [PHP script]
Is there a way to send data from SWF 2 to PHP script without post data? or what would be the secure way to do it?

I am the fan of kirupa but this is my first thread in forum. I have some problem with sendAndLoad method with actionscript 2.0. I am developing a online game with flash mx , MS SQL 2000 and asp. The problem is I send the data using sendAndLoad method to asp file and get data back from asp file. But when the internet connection is not good there is a problem like jam or lost packets. How can I prevent the lost of packets. Some of the data are important. Is there any way to solve this?
View 1 RepliesI've created a prototype that will copy the pixel data from a movie clip then create a JPG image from it via PHP. It works perfectly. But when the MovieClip (called mcImage) contains a Video Object loaded with a streamed FLV, it won't copy the pixel data to the Bitmap object. The image generated is white. Here's a sample code:
var oBitmap:BitmapData = new BitmapData(nW, nH, true);
var oMatrix = new Matrix();
var oColorTrans:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();

View 9 RepliesI have made a little drawing program for my daughter, and I have worked in the ability to save and load images that you have made. It's a simple line drawing thing, but she's 3, and it works.Whatand I'm still new with Flash and AS3) is that I can "addChild" to put the jpeg on the stage, but it's on (or over top of) the drawing area. That means that when I start to draw, I don't really add to the picture, instead, it's drawing behind it. I used the line drawing tutorial as the basis for this little app, the basic code is :
Code:
public function DrawMain(){
graphics.lineStyle(theLine,0x000000); //default to black lines
