ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Bitmap Representation Of Stage?
Nov 21, 2009
So, I want to create an effect such that each frame I :
1 ) create a bitmap representation of the stage.
2 ) reduce the bitmap's alpha to .75
3 ) remove any currently existing bitmap from stage
3 ) add new bitmap to stage.
If I'm correct in my thinking, this should effectively create the illusion that the stage is fading over time, as every time you call bitmapData.draw() the bitmap will be set at .75 alpha. This *should* mean that when I apply .75 alpha to the new bitmap that it should effectively result in a new image that is .75 * .75 alpha (.56), then on the next frame again it should be lower still (.42), and on... .31, .23, .17, and so on... But it seems that what's *actually* happening is that the new bitmap always *looks* like it's .75 alpha every frame.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.*;
// draw a black box...
this.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
this.graphics.drawRect(0,0,100,100);
this.graphics.endFill();
[Code] .....
Additionally, I've tried using stage.invalidate and doing parts of this in an Event.RENDER handler, but it didn't work either...

is there anyway to access the internal bitmap representation of a movieclip that has its cacheasbitmap property set to true?It would be nice if I could create vector artwork that scaled to the size of the browser and then obtain a bitmap representation of it so that I could then manipulate it on a per pixel basis for some cool visual fx.

I have the following code
///Get BitmapData from library in SWC
var ClassReference:Class = getDefinitionByName(products[i].producticon+"Data") as Class;
// Create new BitmapData Instance From it
[Code]....
I get null in the trace. How do I make a dynamic class that I can refer to for this bitmap similar to how your reference a class from and embedded media?

Is there a way to write a UTF-16 string into a ByteArray in Flash/AS3? Basically I have a string (var test:String="allan"; for example) and I would like to write that into a ByteArray with UTF-16LE encoding. In this case it would be "61 00 6C 00 6C 00 61 00 6E 00".
I've tried using utf16le.writeMultiByte( clipText, "utf-16" ); but it just comes out with what appears to be UTF8 (or just straight ASCII given the test string).
The use case is to save a UTF-16LE file using FileReference.save(), which I understand I can do by passing it a ByteArray with the correct character encoding in it. Passing just a string saves as UTF-8. Hence the need to convert and store into a UTF-16LE representation in a ByteArray.

I am working on a software which takes .ppt as its input and produces .swf file as its output.
When I was dealing with fonts, I found there is slight difference between the representation of the text in .ppt and .swf though the font name and size are same in both.
The difference increses when I make the text bold or italic or both.
I want to know why such differerence exits?
And what should I do to make the.swf font representation same as that of .ppt?

I have made a little drawing program for my daughter, and I have worked in the ability to save and load images that you have made. It's a simple line drawing thing, but she's 3, and it works.Whatand I'm still new with Flash and AS3) is that I can "addChild" to put the jpeg on the stage, but it's on (or over top of) the drawing area. That means that when I start to draw, I don't really add to the picture, instead, it's drawing behind it. I used the line drawing tutorial as the basis for this little app, the basic code is :
Code:
public function DrawMain(){
graphics.lineStyle(theLine,0x000000); //default to black lines

I've been looking around for hours now, and I can't find a simple solution to what I thought would be an simple task.
I have an image already on the stage. I've put it in a movieClip and named it "myImage". So there is no dynamic loading, imports, or listeners.
Is it possible to enable bitmap smoothing from here?

I have some objects that are very, very likely to be equal. I'm comparing them every second to check if they're the same as one stored in a data model on the client.Instead of having to check 5-6 data points to make sure they're equal, I would like to compare the binary to tell if they're not equal, so I can quickly overwrite the object in the collection if they do not have an identical binary representation.for example, I have the following objects:
ActionScript Code:
class tag{
var xCoord;
[code]....
So, instead of doing this sort of comparison for every member in the class
ActionScript Code:
if ( tagOne.xCoord != tagTwo.xCoord ){
swapTagsInCollection (tagOne, tagTwo);
}
I would like to do something like this.
ActionScript Code:
if ( tagOneBinary != tagTwoBinary ){
swapTagsInCollection (tagOne, tagTwo);
}

I am trying to paste a bitmap (any bitmap) onto the stage. I just get the box outline on the stage. I have imported several basic bitmaps into the library. I tried dragging and copying and pasting but I always just get the outline. I don't know if it means it can't be pasted or there is a setting to display it. If I copy the same bitmap and paste into word for instance I do see the image.

i just wanna know how I display a bitmap that I exported for action scriptinially i tried this
var myBitmap:NameOfTheClass = new NameOfTheClass(40, 40);
addChild(myBitmap);
i got a error saying that is not possible to implicitly convert a BitmapData to a displayObject (or samething like that) so a changed the base class of the exported bitmap to flash.display.Sprite, but didn't work, the same error was generated.

Now this one wouldn't be tricky at all if the vector graphic background I wish to cache wasn't nested. Unfortunately it is.
-stage
-- container
----- animated layer
----- bitmapCacheContainer
----- background
This is the hierarchy for the display list. The animated layer is slowing to a bad chug on the heavier backgrounds. This is due to the fact that when zoomed in on the container layer, the automatic cacheAsBitmap functionality in the flashplayer is caching a HUGE image, which takes a fair chunk of memory.
I have started dev on this, and this is my process.
Create a new bitmap object to hold the snapshot.
Code:
if( stage.stageWidth > container_mc.width ){
_width = stage.stageWidth;
}
[Code].....
Has anyone tried this before, or can anyone see any schoolboy errors here that I am missing.

Good guys do not espresei fine, next I have a gallery-shaped grid, when I click on one of the thumbs hold containing the thumbs up to widen the thumb be selected in proportion to the screen, the problem is that if I do that he usually gets caught, then did the following when you click unconsecrated thumb I create a bitmap with the dimensions and position of the holder, so I can make the scale until the ratio of the screen and not get caught, but there comes another bug if I click thumb that at some or the x or y is equal to 0 goes to my bitmap somewhere or walks out the screen

My program saves text files, which contain various text, some of which is a string representation of a ByteArray. It does this by using the toString() method of the flash.utils.ByteArray class, which I assume converts a ByteArray (for example, 13x$) into its string representation "13x$". So how do you reverse the process, and turn the string ("13x$") into a ByteArray (13x$)? Even if it's not that simple, I just need to have the ByteArray, put something in a text file, and extract from it the same ByteArray.

I am trying to distort a bitmap, I mean, I have this bitmap in the main stage and I want to drag a section to. I don't know, maybe drag the eye of the character in the picture but I want all the bitmap to react or at least the closest region of the point I am dragging. Is that possible? I know the drawTriangles() that is been use to gave this 3D effect, but I need something different.

I have a really really annoying problem with Flash CS5 (11.0.2.489) on winXP.Everytime I place a bitmap (jpg, png..) on stage, Flash crashes.It occurs with existing fla, as well as with new documents, but only as3!(with as2 new documents, it seems ok!)I tried deleting preferences (reg key and AppData folder), nothing changes. Rebooting does nothing.
Here is the crash report:

I have been following the samples code of Foundation ActionScript 3.0.
I have imported a jpeg into Flash CS3 IDE Library and Exported(Linkage) it to be used in action script by giving a class name 'Image'. And when I am trying to compile the file its showing error: 1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 2. and 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Image to an unrelated type flash.display:Bitmap.
How to attach the jpeg to the stage as a Bitmap datatype using as3..

I'm looking for a fail-safe way to round-trip between a Flash swf file and a text representation and back again. One strict requirement is that the resulting round-tripped Flash swf file is exactly functionally equivalent to the original Flash swf file as long as the text representation is left unchanged. Furthermore, the text representation must be human-readable and editable. It should be possible to make small changes to the the text representation (such as changing a text string or a class name, etc.) which are reflected in the resulting class file representation. Is there a fail-safe way to achieve Flash swf file/text-representation/Flash swf file round-tripping given the requirements above?

I am trying to load images dynamically to my stage. I am reading an xml file and trying to add the images0 to the scene. For some reason the image file seems to be loaded (I have put a trace "Success to check it") but when I try to addChild nothing happens. This is the code of my class followed by the code of my flash file: The main idea here is to load as many thumbnails as the xml file contains so I can play with them making a horizontal scroll.

I have a number of display objects drawing to the stage, including bitmaps, graphics/shapes, and text. What I want to do is put a layer on top of this that "grabs" or copies the image resulting from all the rendered objects below it.That is, I want to get a bitmap object that contains an image of the all the rendered objects beneath it in the display list. Consider it as taking a screen grab of the stage.The ultimate goal is to be able to then apply transformations on this bitmap, giving the appearance of transforming all the objects that draw under it.Is there a way to get such a bitmap? Or if not, is there a way to apply an image transformation (e.g. rotation, etc.) to the stage after a bunch of objects are drawn onto it?

I was wondering how do I make a link to a new page from a page that has already been played onto the stage. The pages are made from movie clips, and the buttons are also movieclips. So for example, I click on about us from the menu bar, and the page animates on, and within that page is another link to go to another page. I just cannot get it to work. All the pages that I have are made from movie clips.
