ActionScript 3.0 :: Converting A Text To An Image?
Dec 7, 2010
I am currently working on a task that will take 2 years and calculate them (one year being from an XML document, and the other automatically generating the current year), returning a result and have been successful..
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.begin = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
MyDate = new Date();
[Code].....
Now in Phase 2, instead of middleyear_txt.text being just a text number, I was hoping to make it into graphical digits.
So 2007 - 1997 = 10. I have 1 through 10.png, so I was hoping to find a way to make 1 = 1.png, 2 = 2.png, 3 = 3.png, 4 = 4.png, etc...

I was trying to create a website where i want my banner to be displayed not just as a picture but like an animation. I have seen few videos on how to convert an image to an animation. Then i tried downloading trial version of flash but it is taking me a lot of time for downloading. I am attaching the picture in this discussion. Can someone convert this image for me to any kind of animation (anything you like). Here is one website with a nice Flash banner. [URL]

I've got a project that currently uses classic dynamic text fields that pull in information from an XML file. The text contains a 'keyword' that's referenced in the XML, that can be situated anywhere in the complete sentence. This keyword needs to be a different colour and font size... but as I said, it can appear anywhere.
Currently this works by getting the keyword from the XML, finding its length, finding the index of where it starts, splicing the main string, and then setting TextFormat to the number of chars in keyword, which changes the font size and colour for just that keyword in the sentence.
This works great for the classic dynamic text boxes. It doesn't however work with TLF text, it just applies the new format to the entire text field. I don't have any experience with TLF text as I've just upgraded to CS5 and now need to make this work in Hebrew.The code snippet for the keyword colour change looks like this:Where screen01Norm & screen01Key are things pulled from XML & screen_01.txt_box_combined is the text field.
var newFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
newFormat.color = 0x319aca;
newFormat.size = 50;

So Ive been working with Flash Pro CS5 and it seems I cant get the converting right with image formats into shape symbols. A couple days ago I did convert it correctly but now I cant remember how exactly I did it lol.
What Im trying to do is convert an image into a shape symbol then into a .gls format. When I import the working shape symbol in my SoThink Flash it would show up in the scene but now I cant recreate a working one as it would show up as a blank image.
Ive watched and read through some tutorials but Im confused on which order I should do the steps into converting an image into a symbol.
Btw.. if theres an easier way to convert an image into a .gls format I like to hear it as well

tool which can convert a flash (.swf) chart to any image format to be later embedded to a pdf report. I am using Ruby on Rails as the dev platform. I have used tools from swftools (specifically the swfextract program) but it doesn't suit my use case as it extracts individual elements (shapes, movieclips, frames etc) which is not too useful.

I am working on a flex project, where I have to load a couple of SVG files and compare their pixels. To compare the pixels, I like to convert them into a byte array (BitMapData). I am able to create a bitmap data for a PNG image, but not for a SVG image.

I'm trying to read out some BitMapData into some kind of readable output.
Reason for this is I'd like to trace out the ByteArray and hopefully cut and paste its details into an .as file and then compare it against another BitMapData Object or byteArray that is generated within the app.
Basically I want to compare differences between the two and report back how many pixels or something are different.
It might seem like a strange or approach.
I can create a BitMapData Object, it traces back as [object BitMapData] - so I thought awesome just loop through the Object... But looping through the Object traces nothing at all back out.
So I tried to create a ByteArray and then convert that to a string, but all I get is wierd 'y' chars with two dots on the top of the char.
I've left some code below,
Code:
public function GetAndCompareBitmapData(target:DisplayObject) {
var bd:BitmapData=new BitmapData(target.width,target.height);
trace("bitmapData "+ bd); // trace [object BitMapData]
[Code].....

I've seen alot of instructions online on how to assign a hyperlink to an image. Alot of them say to convert the image to a symbol first and then add the appropriate Actionscript code (getUrl). I'm just wondering if there is a way to do it without converting it to a symbol (converting it to a symbol seems to add an artifact to one of the borders of the pic). Does anyone know if this can be done? Or must all images be converted to symbols to get links assigned to them?

I want to extract/read the button icon image as a Flex image component, then apply transform filters to it to make it black/white and then apply image as an icon to another button. So far I can get the icon out as an Object by doing this: var iconImg:Object = myBtn.getStyle("icon"); Not sure how to convert that Object to an image.

As you can see when the bird flies across the screen it leaves part of it at the end, then clouds and the wolf do the same thing.This is all vector based artwork. It doesn't make sense becuase the simple images or complex images both leave a portion behind when rendering.The video plays perfectly in Flash. I tried importing it into iMovie and the same problem occurs.I don't even know what this is called so I can't seem to find any support on the issue

I am trying to create a picture gallery.. I can arrange the thumbs in the screen and when I click to one of them, it shows the bigger picture. But the problem is, I want the thumb to do something when the mouse is over it.
Code:
package {
import com.greensock.easing.Expo;
import com.greensock.easing.Cubic;
import com.greensock.easing.EaseLookup;
import com.greensock.TweenMax;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code] .....
When I use that tweenmax.to(this.....) part, all the thumbs act like one. I tried to change this to thumbs but I didn't work. How to convert all the thumbs to an individual image?

My input textfield is called Minutes. var pMinutes = Minutes.textvar sMinutes:Number = Number(pMinutes) I use it in a timer, and when i try to add a value to Minutes (ex. 5) in the swf the timer displays 59:59, if i add a value (ex. 5) in the .fla the timer goes well but i have to add a value before exporting... so the textinput is like a normal read-only text field.

I have a project where I'm working in Flash CS4 on a presentation that runs in ActionScript 1.0. I need certain lines of text to be hyperlinks. I have two instances in which there is an e-mail link and a URL link which are part of a larger block of text, and one instance with just the URL alone. So far I used the method where I used the Properties window to make the box static text and the text fields I require have been made into links, as well as making other instance dynamic text. Thing is the HTML version of the file works all right, but the swf version doesn't hyperlink properly. If I click on the link, it accesses my browser but does nothing else. Let me know if there's anything else I need to elaborate on from my end.
