ActionScript 3.0 :: Using 3D Animated Sprite As Mask
May 4, 2010Being a complete beginner in AS3 (and coding in general), I'm trying to do the opposite of what's seen in this swf (I'd like to have the spinning logo filled with the background colors): [URL]. I was thinking of a very simple way with this kind of code:
ActionScript Code:
var i:int=0;
var logo_vector:MovieClip=new LOGO_VECTOR();
logo_vector.x=192;
logo_vector.y=140;
//logo_vector.cacheAsBitmap=true;
[Code] .....
But while a logo_vector.rotation makes the logo spin around the Z axis and works, the rotationX gives a black screen. AS I could see the logo appearing onone frame, I thought that caching as bimtap on each frame would do the trick but it doesn't. I tried to put the logo into another movieclip but still no chance.
I thought about drawing the logo into a new bitmap as well, and then do a work on the pixels directly to have an opaqe background and the black logo transparent but there again, I can't get the logo position to refresh properly (and can't get it to be in the center of the bitmap).
I tried to copy the sprite into a bitmap:
var masque:BitmapData=new BitmapData(384, 282,true,0x00ffffff);
var masque_bmp:Bitmap=new Bitmap(masque);
and
Masque.draw (logo_vector);
In the Enter Frame function but I'm getting an empty rectangle and if not used as mask, the graphics are not refreshed)?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Load Animated Swf On Main Sprite One By One?
Jun 9, 2010I need to load three swf files in the main sprite (mSprite) top to bottom. All three swfs have some sort of animation, so when the first swf is loaded, it needs to finish playing the animation before the 2nd swf is loaded and the pattern follows. I am assuming, at the end of the animation, each swf need to dispatch a signal or such. All the animations are done via code not timeline.
View 1 RepliesActionscript :: Generate Animated Sprite Sheets At Runtime From Vector?
Feb 8, 2012I would like to use Bitmaps in my Actionscript games.For me this represents a large change in my workflow as I have always used Vector but Bitmaps are really so much faster to render in certain circumstances. As far as I can see, 90% of all my game assets can be bitmaps.Firstly, are there any good tools for working with Vector to BitmapData? Libraries or OpenSource utilities?I know you can just draw to a BitmapData, and I do that, but what about Animations? What about a MovieClip of a laughing cow? How can I render that MovieClip at runtime to some kind of Bitmap version?But more complex than that What about situations where you do not have the MovieClip in a raw form?Imagine 10000 cogs turning at the same rate which is generated with code. This is hard work for the processor, so drawing it to a Bitmap for the duration of 1 revolution, would replace 10000 cogs with a SpriteSheet. I could destroy the cogs, and keep the SpriteSheet. Can anyone offer me any resources or google keywords I can search for, not sure of the technique but it seems to make sense? Especially with Starling..

ActionScript 3.0 :: GradientFill On Unregular Shapes
Feb 26, 2011I've got sprite on the stage, let's say it is a graphics of a car. I would like to let the user fill the car with the colors he inserted to xml file.So, if I have square or rect, I do the thing this way:[code]So in the symbol class(Car) I added a public function, which I use for the instance of the Car in the MainTimeLine(as DocumentClass)car.setGradient(fillColor1,fillColor2,fillColor3)but gradient applies to the rect, created with drawRoundRectComplex, which then is added to the car instance. And I would like to fill with gradient the shape of the car.Is it possible [code] instantly took an idea that I could shift this function from Car's class body to the MainTimeline and pass the object to fill as a parameter. But how to incorporate this object between beginFill and endFill methods. The same way I tried to set THIS I mean actual instance to be filled but it doesnt work for me. Wrong code, or it is impossible...:/ but, is it possible to incorporate shapes created with authoring tool and then change its gradient via code?

Flash :: Rotating Sprite Moves The Sprite From It's Original Location
Jul 6, 2011I'm doing a simple rotation on a sprite but there's a weird behavior where the sprite does not rotate around it's top left. I think I'm rotating along the top left of the test class instead of the sprite child. I would like to rotate the rectangle around it's top left corner (kinda like a clock hand). The code is pretty short so I'll let the code + pictures explain my problem:

I've read a lot of stuff about rotating around a fixed point, I've tried doing it with movieclips instead of sprites, I even copy pasted a tutorial on rotation and nothing works.

Then the numericStepper is drawn as if it is squished to 20% its normal height. If I pre-set mySprite width and height before adding the numericstepper, the trace output is 0,0 after adding it and it is not displayed at all. Is there some way I can make the sprite only adjust to correctly fit the numericStepper OR resize it afterwards without distorting the numericStepper component?

Actionscript 3 :: Drawing - Cut A "hole" Inside A Rectangular Sprite To See The Sprite Underneath?
Feb 3, 2010Everytime I google this question I see confusing information about masks and blends, none of which seems to directly apply to what I think should be an easy thing... There are three Sprites involved here...the lowest layer sprite is pretty much a background. I want to overlay a translucent Sprite on top of the background and then I want the third, top-most Sprite to act as a hole, so that the area inside the third Sprite is completely transparent, so that the background sprite is completely visible. How would I go about doing this dynamically (i.e. dynamically drawing the masking sprite and hole using the Actionscript graphics calls)?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Which Sprite Is Another Sprite Over
Feb 5, 2009Ive got a question that feels like it should be easy but I cant figure it out. Suppose I have 2d grid of square sprites on the stage, lets say 20 by 20 (400 sprites). Another sprite moves accross the stage on top of the grid. The moving sprite and the 400 sprites below it share a common parent. So heres the question: How do I find out which of the 400 sprites the moving sprite is currently over? And heres an extra wrinkle: I lied, the sprites are not square they are of differing shapes so I cant do a simple math calculation.
All I can come up with is something like hitTestPoint(), but then I would have to call it 400 times wouldnt I? That is probably the most inefficient way to do things. Is there a function like whatsUnderThisPoint(p : Point) which will return a list of every sprite on the display list that contains p?
