i want to do some cryptographic routines in my flash. I've encrypted .jpg files on my server, so I can't use simple Loader class, to download that data as Bitmap. I'm thinking to:
1) download it with URLLoader as BINARY data in ByteArray class.
2) decrypt the data
3) convert to BitmapData. (..., is this possible ?
how could I do image crypting in fl.
I am wondering if it is possible to get a url to some image on google, say a square (jpg/png/gif), and process it into an SVG. Is this possible?
Right now I'm getting ByteArray data in Actionscript by making a URLRequest('image/on/google'), with dataFormat="binary". I don't think Actionscript could handle/do it, but maybe it could. I'm also good with Ruby, so perhaps is this possible with Ruby?
If so, any sample code/libraries to get started?
I guess another way to ask it is, how do I convert a Bitmap to a set of Vector Paths like Adobe Illustrator does?
I'm trying to do something simple: send a byteArray to a C library, fill up a buffer and read the memory, but I think I have float conversion problems.
Here is what I do in AS:
var memory:ByteArray = gstate.ds;
// get sound
var soundBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
_source.extract(soundBytes, 4096);
[Code]...
I am trying to serialize a Bitmap to store in an XML file. My plan is to turn the BitmapData into a byteArray, but I haven't been able to fine an example of this.
View 1 RepliesI need a function to change an ByteArray to BitmapData in 1 function:
makeBitmapData(bytes:ByteArray):BitmapData
Is this possible? Cause all I can find about this is first put the bytes in a loader. add listener to the complete event and then call a function that make the bitmap/bitmapdata. can this also be done in 1 function?
is there anything that will take a very large png (even larger then the total pixel limit of BitmapData) and load in the png as raw bytes into a bytearray and then take that array and grab only portions of the image to be able to generate a grid of usable bitmaps to render the very large png..I got to the point where I was able to get the png as a bytearray but from there I don't know how to grab a portion of the bytearray and attempt to load the partial bytes in a loader via loadBytes()..basically I think I need a decoder to decode the partial bytes to a bitmapdata.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to grab the BitMapData from an Image, convert it to JPG, and send it to a server where it will be written to a file. It "looks" like it works, the resulting .jpg is the right size and displays in an image viewer, but there is no picture... just an off-white background. Here's a code snippet:
imgTemp.addEventListener(FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE , imageLoadedHandler);
...
private function imageLoadedHandler(event:Event):void {
if (imgTemp.width == 0) return;
[Code].....
Then send "ba" to the server where it's written as a .jpg.
The data "looks" right when I receive it on the server, correct length, bits look the same.
I am using [code]...
In the 4th line in the code above i am getting "Error: Error #2030: End of file was encountered." I checked the length of the pixels object which is 4 times the width*height of the rect object. Given that setPixels() functions reads unsigned int from bytearray and sets that value to pixels, I think it should work.
But I have no clue why this wont work. The pixels object is filled after RLE decoding of the data which i get from a server.
Is there any work around or any other method which I could try to use. The loader class wont work as the data that I get from the server is not in any of the recognized format.
i am rendering a BitmapData from my webcam and sending the rendered ByteArray(i cant compress using ZLIB because its not running on AIR) file as binary to a server side. problem is each JPEG picture is around 40kb and it needs to be compressed a bit.now i am not talking about resizing the image, just making the file size smaller. anyone know how to do this?

This method is not working
I am using it like this
var ba:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
ba = bmd.getPixels(bmd.rect);
bmd.setPixels(srcRect, ba);
bm.bitmapData = bmd;
img.source = bm;
im trying to create a conversion utility that uses number input via calculator style buttons to generate conversion for the following distances:
-Miles to/from KM
-cm to/from mm
-binary to/from decimal
Now i was thinking of possibly having the options contained within an drop down and an input text field where the numbers are entered via the calculator buttons. The only thing im struggling with is how to perform the actual calculations on the different formats. Has anyone had to do anything similar in the past? Ive only found currency conversion examples and not sure how to apply that to these conversions.
I am working on a game, made with Flash (using AS3) The game has a fast ball and when this ball hits an object it has to make a sound... but the sound starts with delay (so the ball is far away when the sound is played).This sound is edited by me and it hasn't got any silences at the beginning.The method i'm currently using is the simplest one:
public var sonidoPuntos1:sonidopunto1 = new sonidopunto1()
and then...
sonidoPuntos1.play()
I am trying to introduce the file into a ByteArray and then playing it from there...
I know its a true Pain but does anyone know any way to convert wav ByteArray to mp3 ByteArray.

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 often recieve FLV files for work and need to convert them to SWF. I know that flash imports FLA files but not FLV... I converted the FLV the F4V, opened it in flash, exported it as a SWF and it worked great... once.After that it rendered a white screen. How can I take an FLV file and properly convert it to a SWF suitable for web serving?
View 1 RepliesThe title might be a little misleading. Look at my code and I will explain
public static function loadTile(tileDir:String = "empty"):void

tRect = new Rectangle(0,0,30,30);
[Code]...
I am trying to do tiling with sprites. I want my tiles to be interactive, so that is why I am using the sprite object instead of using regular bitMaps to represent my tiles. You might be wondering why I wouldnt just use graphics.beginBitmapFill(tImage); and graphics.drawRect(0, 0,tWidth ,tHeight ); to pick out the tiles I want to use. Well reason being is because it turns out that drawRect() first and second parameters actually alter the location of where the actual sprite sits at.
So if I set the x and y properties of the sprite to x = 20, and y = 20. then I set my drawRect(20,20). it actually adds an extra 20 pixels to my x and y coords of my sprite. And I know the reason why, I just need to know a better way.
I have been creating animations for children, and recently finished an animated short. I am more of an artist than a techie, and I have not been able to find a clear cut answer as to what is the best way to convert flash to DVD. What file should be converted to achieve the best quality? SWF? MOV file? Is there a way to do it from flash? from Adobe Premier? I tried the AVI output and the quality was terrible.
Is a seperate converter needed? If so, are which give the best quality audio and visually? Here are some of the basic requirements for an animated short entry: DVDs must be compatible with standard set-top DVD players-- do not simply burn a quicktime or AVI file to a disc as data. It is highly preferred that you send us an NTSC, Region 1 or region free (Region 0) DVD when submitting to us, but we will also accept PAL and SECAM formats as well. If you are sending a DVD that has a region code other than 0 or 1, and/or a format other than NTSC, please mark this CLEARLY on the disc AND on the DVDcase.

I am learning Premier Pro& plan on using that in the next month or so.iMovie exports in .mov format. What is the best way of converting to swf? Would it be media encoder to FLV, then Flash to SWF?
