ActionScript 3.0 :: Baked Filters Vs Filter Param Data
Aug 14, 2009
I've come to learn through research that applying filters to flash webcam recording seem backend-ed. In other words, when a user pre-apply filters to their video (light brightness, blur, saturation), the filter parameters (CData, I think) are saved with the video but the actual video file is untouched (RAW) or as recorded. My questions are, Can and how are filters "baked" into a video recorded from a webcam? and Can this be done in flash / flex
I was wondering whether it would be possible to perform operations on Filters, specifically the DropShadow filter, such as resizing it. Are there any known ways to do it?
I read almost everywhere that the wmode parameter had to be set to opaque (some said it could be either opaque or transparent). When setting this through the flashvars parameter (this is in Chrome btw) this did nothing. After a while of getting frustrated, I added it as a parameter itself through addParam, and hey presto now it works.Is this a simply a Chrome thing? FF it works seamlessly as it was. Even IE 7 and 8 are behaving slightly better. I wondered if this was a bug because supposedly adding a parameter to flashvars should do the trick.
I'm trying to visualize the results of a quiz in ActionScript 3.0.What I would like some input on is how to best link the "filters" (top right corner in attached image) to the data source in a flexible OOP way.The result array now contains both number of correct answers and meta data about the person taking the quiz. The meta data could be both discrete (sex) or continuous (age).
How do I tell the boxes to, for example, change color when I change filter?Should each box object hold its own data or should there be some sort of controller listening to the filter object to dispatch an event and thereafter call a box.setColor method?
I have about 9 buttons on my stage and I want to write code for the rollover and rollout effects, I only want to write the code once so I am trying to pass the button info into a string via evt.target.data and it pass the info properly into my string variable but when I try to set my filter to that variable, setting my movieclip instance name to that variable, I get 2 errors:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property filters through a reference with static type String.Warning: 1072: Migration issue: String is not a dynamic class. Instances cannot have members added to them dynamically.
My code is:
import fl.transitions.Tween; import fl.transitions.easing.*; var thumbArray:Array=new Array(); var movieClipLoader:Loader;
Question 1: How do I add a filter to a movieclip from actionscript,More specificly, the "adjust color" filter, and I want to decrease brightness, saturation,hue, and contrast... by actionscript...If you dont know what I mean, use the circle tool to create a circle, convert to movie clip, click the "filter" tab, then click + and add a adjust color filter, you'll see what I mean...Question 2: I need to output text to 'text' documents, no I cannot use shared objects for this, as it is a program for a client, and it isn't safe enough for me.
Code: var archive:Array = []; archive[7] = "Hello I am the 8th archive";
I found a tutorial on how to make a cool water effect in as3 using bitmap data and a displacement filter. It works great but it is very heavy on the computer.
here is my code
Code: var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(700, 398); var dmf:DisplacementMapFilter = new DisplacementMapFilter(bmd, new Point(0,0), 1, 2, 10, 30); var p1:Point = new Point(0, 0); var p2:Point = new Point(0, 0);
I looked at the following example in the AS3 Reference: [URL] It is unclear to me looking at the package example how to apply this in standard ActionScript 3 without packages to a Movie Clip resident in my Library that gets called at RunTime. how I would push the DropShadow filter onto my Movie Clip at RunTime?
To achieve a zoom effect in our 2D flash game, we make the background of the game much bigger than the visible stage. This becomes a problem when the background is complex or when we apply a grayscale filter to the background. Is there a better way to do zoom? Or, is there a way to apply the filter to only a specific area of a movieclip?
I'm working on a Flash website for a while now, but just now I noticed that the link doesn't change (that's normal for a Flash application). But the thing is, the website needs to be 'shareable'. So my problem is; How can I get a param from the URL and read it in Flash? For example, when the url is [URL] The Flash application has to know that the article is 245 so it can go to the right article instead of just the homepage. How can this be done? (By the way, I'm using actionscript 2)
Edit: Here is the source code of the SWF file;
[Code]....
This script is just to test things out. (a MovieClip becomes visible if pfcase is not empty?)
I want to use a 3rd party swf map of the USA that the user can drill down to the county level for each state. I can define which state map to display in the html using the following [code]...
I have a flash file(full link to flash looks like [url]... which loads mp3-file(link to mp3 I send with php through flashvars)
I've embed dynamically(with swfobject) this swf to my page. It's ok. Then I send ajax-request to script, which reloading div with flash. Div is empty.
Experimentally I found out that I've trouble with relative paths. Flash file embed with this address ./swf/audio/player.swf and mp3-address is ./media/audio/user/1/random.mp3.
I get Param values(src) from Html to AS3 that allows us to maintain in communication our Flash applications with the server. We often need to assign to a SWF a value in entry using the HTML of the page in which the SWF itself is inserted. My Problem is While getting id From html to As3 ,The Html page is working in Intenet Explorer only.I Cannot get in From Mozila and Google Chrome.
here my As3 Coding
ActionScript Code: import flash.display.LoaderInfo; var sourceId:String = loaderInfo.parameters.src; trace(sourceId);
What kind of stupid rule of is that...unless Im doing it wrong.In AS3 doing:public function bla(string:String=null){}doesnt seem to work as I get an error 1 argument given, 0 expected.if I do public function bla (string:String, i:int = null){}i am told it wants 1 not 2 arguments.How do I get around this? every other language allows me to et a param as default to null and still pass in two arguments....
I'm trying to get a link to an XML file passed from the Object Embed code into my Flash movie. (Not using SWFobject). I have 1 swf file that should be able to connect to 3 different XML files.
Below is the HTML code (I'm trying to get theXML path): <div class="left"> <h2>300 x 353 Green Accent Color</h2> <script type="text/javascript"> [Code] ..... Right now it's not loading the XML file from the param.
Having some issues accessing my param tags from within actionscript. Essentially I have the following tag:
<param name="config" value="config" />
But I am unable to access it. There are two issues that I have, and I've been searching the internet high and low for the answers.
1) How do I even access the parameter? I have some people saying use _root.config, LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters["config"], and just config. None work, and searching for this stuff is so hard because it's so generic.
2) I assume that once I do find out how to access the param that is being passed, I'm going to have issues with accessing it from another file because I read somewhere during my searching that other files do not have access to global variables. If this is the case, how do I do that? I have seen _globals thrown around a couple of times and some people say it works, some don't.
Im using a few modules repeatedly in a Flex app and varying the conditions by passing in params via the 'loaderInfo.url' var. This works fine for the first iteration of a given module but subsequent attempts will always see the same params as the first creation regardless of what is actually used.
[Code]...
When I view the param in the 'CreationComplete' handler (eg 'trace( this.loaderInfo.url );') its the same every time (for a given module) regardless of what is actually passed in via the ?param=string. What am I doing wrong?
I have flash application, which creates array and calls javascript function.[code]My question is how to pass params from actionscript to javascript as array and not as string value.
how to add a bgcolor param to a dynamic SWFObject?
I am thinking that by adding a bgcolor to my SWF or making the wmode transparent, that it will get rid of the ugly "white box" that happens when my SWF first loads before the animation starts. Do not think it is necessary to have a preloader. Previously the animation was embedded using Object Embed code and no flash happened.
