ActionScript 3.0 :: Draw App With Transparent PNG Export?
May 14, 2008
ROLL_OUT event isn't always stopping the cursor from drawing. If the cursor is moved very slowly, you can draw outside the drawingBoard_mc area despite my event listener. I tried MOUSE_OUT too without success.
drawingBoard_mc is 600x100 pixels. When I call PNGExport and pass the clip and size the PNG from drawingBoard_mc.height and drawingBoard_mc.width I sometimes end up with a few extra pixels like... 607x101. This generally happens when the pen drew past the drawingBoard_mc slightly.
Missing Feature:
export the PNG with just black lines (drawn by the user) and a transparent background. Currently I have to edit the file afterward to remove the white background.[code]...

I'm trying to draw PNGs onto BitmapData that is transparent.
I create my BitmapData like this (using ARGB for the color):
new BitmapData(width, height, true, 0x00000000);
And clean it by using the same ARGB value:
bitmapData.fillRect(bitmapData.rect, 0x00000000);
When I use copyPixels() to draw graphics onto the cleaned BitmapData, I get this result:
If I don't use ARGB for the BitmapData color, it works fine:
But I have to specify a solid fillColor, meaning I can't render what's behind the Bitmap.
How can I make my BitmapData transparent, but not have the above occur?

Is it possible to export a 9-slice scaled object as a transparent PNG? At the moment File > Export > Export Image > Transparent PNG will not output any 9-slice objects. This is quite a hassle, since I can't seem to get these objects transparently into Photoshop or Illustrator (both CS4) - what's the use of working with 9-slice objects if you can't export them flattened even to other applications? I use them extensively, but looks like I will have to convert them all the separate movieclips without this cool functionality, since it is more a pain than anything else once you need to use these graphics outside Flash CS4.
Am I missing something? "Work seamlessly between Adobe apps" is starting to sound more than a marketing/sales pitch than an actual reality. I have tried export these images as EPS/AI to open in Illustrator CS4 - they don't come out correctly at all / gradients messed up / errors on open. So, no more 9-slice scaling objects if I want to export to tranparent PNG from the IDE?

In Flash CS4, when I draw a rectangle (or circle, or anything) with a color that has 0 alpha, nothing is drawn. Also, if I select a piece of drawing and change the color to 0 alpha, the drawing (e.g. rectangle) disappears!I know I can draw a non-transparent rectangle, convert it to movie clip and set the movie clip's alpha to 0, but I'd like to avoid this.

im trying to draw opaque pixels on a transparent bitmapdata background
heres the ex:
ActionScript Code:
//TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND
var _pixelColor:uint = 0x9998002E;
var _bmpd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(4, 7, true, 0x00333333);
[Code].....
This example paints 2 arrows, the first is using the transparent background, and the second is using an opaque background on the BitmapData.
What I'm trying to achieve is to paint the pixels of the arrow completely opaque on the transparent background. But as you can see, the pixel is at 99% of its opacity (var _pixelColor:uint = 0x9998002E) How can I paint 100% opaque pixels on a transparent BitmapData "canvas"?

I'm using Sandy to animate some objects in 3D. What I currently do to images which are EXPORTED in the library, I want to do to some bitmaps that I create using the DRAW technique. But it wont work :-(
CODE FOR 'CREATED BITMAP' :
ActionScript Code:
var bData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(myObject.width,myObject.height);
bData.draw(mask5);
[Code]....
Sandy doesn't seem to treat the 'created' bitmap the same as those that are exported from the library.

I am creating a map in flash cs4 with all the countries on it. I used photoshop for creating the map and separated countries. Now I imported all pngs in Flash and I want to give Mouse CLICK event and Mouse Hover on all pngs, but as the transparent pixels are overlapping the other states, it is getting difficult. So, I converted all pngs in movieclips and now then I broke up pngs. Now I want to delete all pixels having alpha 0 using eraser tool, as per the borders. And I have to do it manually for individual countries. So is there a way to remove transparent pixels from the bitmap data?

I have two png's that kind of look like paint brush strokes. they have some transparency in them that lets the stage colour bleed through a bit.
I am adding two of these images to the stage in AS 3. One adds quite fine - looks as expected. The second one however doesn't have any transparency other than around its edges. What i mean is it looks more like GIF than a PNG. Rough around the edges, no transparency "inside" the image itself (where there should be)
i have tried re-creating the image (yes it IS a PNG) which did nothing. I ensured the library item is not being treated as a JPEG. I also even tried externally calling the PNG to see if that made a difference. Unfortunately it did not.
why this second PNG doesn't seem to have a transparency set?

I am using the draw() method of the BitmapData to encode a jpeg of part of the image. Now this should be easy enough given the object I want to draw to the bitmap is on the stage at design time so I know its location and dimetions exactly! Heres the code I have in place.
Code:
var myBitmapSource:BitmapData = new BitmapData ( street.width, street.height, false, 0x333333);
myBitmapSource.draw(street, null, null, null, new Rectangle( 96, 5, 571, 450 ), true );
I know for a FACT that no part of the street clip I am drawing out is in negative space, and it's registration is (0,0). However, it cuts off A lot of the top of my image. y=5 in the above rectangle is where I need the top to be, but it cuts the top off of the image... even if I change it to 0, it has no effect.

I'm trying to do some lean blitting for an object that rotates by rotating it once at startup and capturing a BitmapData snapshot of each 5 degrees. The problem I'm having is that the draw() method of the BitmapData object is only picking up pixels in the MovieClip that are below and to the right of the registration point. If I change the MC so that the registration point is in the top left corner, I sometimes get what looks like most of the pixels, but the entire object rotates into and out of the frame, since it's rotating around the corner and not the center.

I need to be able to draw a thick patterend line between 2 points in AS3, I can't use the draw API because it doesn't all me to actually put detail (pattern etc) into the thickness of the line, I thought about perhaps using the line to create a bitmap version and then using that as a mask, but I remember many years ago seeing some examples that use a movieclip as a source for a line.

I am having an issue with using BitmapData.draw(stage). I am getting the following error:
SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/bla...bla...bla.swf cannot access null. No policy files granted access. Here is a portion of my code:
var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(2800, 2100); bd.draw(stage);//this is where the error happens All of the files referenced (.xml/.jpg/.swf) are located in the same local folder as the main .swf. How do I get around this error? The main objective is to print the stage using PrintJob(). I am using Flash Professional CS5.5 and publishing to Flash 10.0/10.1. Let me know if I need to supply any more info.

smaller file size?
easier then fiddling with alot of divs
more options to make cool animations
no need to use gif or pgn to get a transparent bg

I have an XML file that loads in JPG images great, but if I try to load either a PNG or GIF instead of a JPG - it simply does not load at all.Does ActionScript & Flash not allow for transparent files, or even these formats of images to be brought in via XML file?BTW:I used this tutorial, step 1-9, and all works well but if I change the images to my personal PNG - the only thing that displays is the preloading bar as if the file just doesn't want to file/load the image. The text does come in though.

So you've got a transparent png. Rather than importing that png with its alpha channel, I've always assumed it's better to import it with a black or white matte, then use Flash's blend modes (lighten, darken, screen, multiply) to show the transparency.Am I right on this, or does it make no difference in terms of cpu usage?I do believe that in terms of filesize, the matte saves quite a bit over the alpha channel.

A friend and I are working on a Flash game. He is programming it and needs the different character animations in SWF form. The problem is when he places them in-game, they are surrounded by the white block that was behind the character animation.
How do you make the background of the SWF/flash file transparent so they white block will no longer be visible. I know how to do it in HTML for the web, but this must be different.

I have made a slideshow from this tutorial: [URL]
I have added a reflection, and it works just great. But i would like to make the right and the left side fade to transparent. I have tried to make a little demo here: [URL]
The first movie looks good, but only because I have faded from nothing to black and the background is black on the home page. And as you can see, the movie does not look that great, when the background is white.
I found this link: [URL], but I can't figure out how to implement it into my already "working" slideshow.
