ActionScript 3.0 :: Bitmap Fill An Existing MC / Sprite?
Mar 2, 2011
What I want to do is draw the outline of an object using the IDE to create my movieclip symbol...this object will be an enclosed region e.g a cloud. I then want to be able to fill the internal area of the object with a bitmap using actionscript.
I had assumed that I would be able to do this via graphics.beginBitmapFill but there doesn't seem to be a way to specify to draw the outline within the MC or to do a floodfill with a bitmap using a point of origin within an enclosed region.
If I have a BitmapData that's already been drawn onto a Sprite. Is there a way to redraw the BitmapData onto a Sprites Graphics object without having to invoke beginBitmapFill and passing in the same BitmapData?
I'd like to fill the .graphics section of a sprite AFTER a series of lines and arcs are drawn. To draw the shape, I need to use a series of moveTo() and lineTo() statements, so the standard beginFill() won't work for me. The final shape will always be closed, but I don't have the lines/arcs in sequential order.
If an image is 800 by 600, copy the image's bitmap data and divide the image into, say, 20 by 20 squares, each having a reference to be manipulated later. Im guessing you have to use bitmapdata for that, unfortunately I dont know how to copy bitmapdata from an image's arbitrary x and y coordinates and for a certain width/height.
I have a PNG imported into my library and exported for use in Action script. On the stage, I have a swatchFill movie clip.Currently I have code that will transform the fill to a solid color, however I'm getting into metallic swatches and the colorTransform function will no longer work.[code]
I can't say that I have played with it much, but I was looking to use a gradiant fill in one of my Sprite objects I created in flash. Seems that the gradiant fill always goes left to right... how can I make it go up and down? I know I can rotate the object, but then I would mess with the x and y scales that would mess me up later down the road. is there a way to change it to vertical fill?
I must say I'm a little puzzled by the mipmap functionality in the newer flash players.URL...Tinic describes the way that mipmaps work in flash player if the images are specific sizes (e.g. powers of 2 like 256x256 etc). The demo here URL... shows this working quite clearly and I have myself demonstrated that when using a simple bitmap object with smoothing set to true then scaling has a much better result when the images are the correct dimensions for mipmap capabilities.However I have not seen mipmaps work in 3D when using bitmapFill and drawTriangles. The bitmap quality seems to look crappy regardless of the bitmap size. Do mipmaps ever work in 3D with bitmap fill etc? This topic direct from Adobe seems to imply that it does URL...with the comment "Use bitmap sizes that are divisible by 4 or 8 for two-dimensional images (such as 640 x 128, which can be reduced as follows: 320 x 64 > 160 x 32 > 80 x 16 > 40 x 8 > 20 x 4 > 10 x 2 > 5 x 1) and 2^n for three-dimensional textures".However a few other sources such as this one implies that it doesnthttp:URL...with the comment "Mipmapping was introduced in Flash Player 9 but it doesn't work with 3D drawing and requires textures to be even in resolution. That is why we developed our own method of filtering."
I am creating the line trough "lineStyle" method but I need that instead of color on the fill I want to use an image.something like the beginBitmapFill well I tried everything and could not fin a solution for that.even the " lineGradientStyle" does not supprt the bitmap fill...
I'm trying to use a bitmap fill, but I can't seem to get it to work.I'm using FlashDevelop with assets imported from CS4 - this isn't the problem, I can instantiate the asset I'm targeting perfectly fine, so I suspect that it's a problem with what I'm trying to do. Here's my code:
Code: //get the bitmap data from a grass symbol //grass symbol IS present - can be added to stage fine var grassBMD:BitmapData = new BitmapData(155, 80);[code]....
Nothing gets displayed in the box, so I'm suspicious that I'm not allowed to use bitmap fill in non-primitive shapes.
Detail: I am reading some data from SVG and getting them as Sprite objects; now I need to change the fill color of these sprite objects dynamically without affection the outline color. I gave it a try with ColorTransform but that changes everything in the object.
PS: I already tried searching the forum for the same thing but search seems to have some technical issues... therefore had to
I am trying to create small flash application which would allow me to fill movieclip with different texures/bitmaps using actionscript. It should work something like this:Click herebut instead of fill with different colors movieclip should be filled with different bitmaps/textures. I have find tutorial for changing colors but not sure how to realize this to change textures.Perhaps there is some other solution beside using actionscript for which
On my stage I created a rectangle with a bitmap fill, such that there is exactly one repeat of the bitmap (the default). I then converted the rectangle to a Movieclip symbol, so that I could access it via actionscript. The problem: when I change the height of the rectanble via actionscript, the bitmap stretches to match. What I want is for the bitmap to maintain its repeat, such that if I double the height of the rectangle, I would see two vertical repeats of the bitmap (the way it would happen in html/CSS with background-repeat set to "repeat").
The subject pretty much sums it up; I have a bunch of movieclips on the stage, that are already filled with a bitmap pattern in the IDE. Now I need to fill them with another pattern once they are clicked, and I can�t seem to figure out how to do it.This is the closest yet, but i just get a recangle with the new pattern behind my selected mc. I realize that the rectangle comes from the drawRect method (duh) but I cant seem to find something the will allow me to fill the entire movieclip with the new pattern.in District.as
Code: public function doSelect(){ _selectPattern = new SelectPattern(0,0); //class from my library
i have found a beautiful water effect made in as3. The effect is available to download on the website below.I am trying to change the fill of the water (that is blue or any color that you pick).The original code fills the water like this:
Code: public function renderWater():void { shape.grapics.clear(); shape.graphics.beginFill(0x006699); shape.graphics.lineStyle(0, 0x000000, 0);
[code].....
I tried to follow the instructions on the beginBitmapFill help, but i am receiving the water with no fill.
my current situation maybe akin to me painting myself into a corner. i have many vector shapes drawn with the Flash Professional CS5 IDE, which have been converted into sprite objects and exported to actionscript. for example, here are 3 shapes:
i want to programatically fill each shape with a bitmap from my library. i realize i can fill these shapes with library bitmaps in the IDE, but i need to scale the bitmaps at runtime as well as swap them out for others. how is it possible to programatically bitmap-fill shapes drawn within the IDE at runtime without having to also programatically redraw them?
if it is possible to covert a bitmap to a Sprite? I tried casting it to a sprite, but that does not work. The reason why is because if figured out that you can't use the addChild option on a bitmap.
how to addChild bitmap in Sprite. I have one bitmap image in my libary. Now, I want to add it into my "Sprite" display object. I can put my libary's bitmap into movieClip but I want to do in pure as3 .
I've got a Sprite object that I would like to extract somehow into a Bitmap object in order to manipulate certain pixels. For example, if i have a diamond shaped Sprite, I would like to convert it into a bitmap
/*the point of this is to add a keyboardEvent to animate the image*/I am loading a bitmap image using this function:
var myLoader : Loader = new Loader(); var myURLRequest : URLRequest = new URLRequest("thesus.png");myLoader.load(myURLRequest); function myOnComplete(event : Event) : Bitmap{ var loader : Loader =
Following up from: http:[url]...I am trying to comeup with a function to print without creating a sprite, because that's what it seems to be causing my problem:
public function printScreen():void { var pJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob(); var options:PrintJobOptions = new PrintJobOptions();[code]....
This is coming up with an: Error: Description Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.display:Bitmap to an unrelated type flash.display:Sprite. So how do you print a bitmap without creating a Sprite?
Maybe it is a bad habbit which still i have from Flash Professional, but : I am trying to add a simple Sprite or/and Bitmap on just created, empty application, and it just not hapening.
I have a PNG that is a child of sprite object. The PNG consists of a shape in the middle of a transparent background (the alpha value is zero). I want to change the color of the sprite, but I do not want to change the transparent background.
I load a picture file by Loader and add Bitmap into sprite,like follows:sprite1.addChild(myBitmap);Now I want to get the myBitmap from sprite1,how can I get myBitmap from sprite1,what code can I use?
I've just switched over to AS3, and I'm completely stumped with something.
I'm working on a project where I keep adding children to a MC already on the screen. There are two types of these children: Sprites that I use to draw lines using moveTo, lineTo, ect. Then there's sprites that have children inside of THEM that are bitmaps.
For some strange reason, the Sprites with the bitmaps on them always have a higher depth/index (AS3 terminology is still weird for me) than the normal Sprites.
Here's a diagram of my MC/children/children layers:
---------------=> (Sprites that draw lines) (MC on Stage) => ---------------=> (Sprites that hold bitmaps) => (Bitmap)
I want to load an external image (dest) and display it on the stage, and i want to load another image (src) which will not be visible. When i hold the left mouse button on the image that appears on the stage, then a function that start copies the src image to the dest will be invoked. Actually i want to reproduce the scratch effect on an image that hides another underneath. here is my code [ the copypixels function is triggered on mouse_move event for debug purposes ]
Although the two images are loaded into memory and the first one is shown on the stage, when the mouse_move events triggers the corresponding handlers the copy does not work.
