ActionScript 3.0 :: Eraser Tool On Uploaded Pictures?
Aug 26, 2009
Ive got this problem: the users of my webapplication can upload pictures and draw on them, but would it be possible to let the user erase parts of their uploaded picture (jpg or png) using the eraser tool?. like upload the picture and then convert it to a file that the user can manipulate?
Mac OS 10.4.11; Flash CS3.I cannot change the tool any more. It's stuck on the eraser. It doesn't erase anything, but I can't change it to another tool.I uninstalled Flash, preferences and all, and re-installed it, but the problem persists. Interesting is, my customized workspace is still there, even though I had all preferences and anything else that has the name "Flash" deleted.At the same time the computer opens both CD trays when booting up. Never did that before. So I re-installed the OS, but that didn't help either.
I have a requirement to create a drawing tool. I have completed till where on mouse down i can draw and on mouse up i stop the drawing. Now i want a eraser in place; something very similar to what is there in paint. So on mouse down of the eraser and moving over the line segment should erase the portion of the lines.
I simulate a pencil tool in my application, now i want simulate a eraser tool, but no success. how can i eraser that lines draw by pencil in as 3? i try removeChildAt(0); it work's but all draw is erased. [code]...
In the previous version, the eraser tool only erase things on the single current active layer, but then in CS4 (maybe it's just my problem), the eraser tool simply erase everything on the stage, no matter which layer they are in, except in locked layer.
Is it a bug for cs4 or hv I set something wrong or what?
I did make a eraser tool. But once I begin to erase a layer, the background layer is visible. I want the layer just below the topmost layer to be visible.
For eg consider 2 layers. Layer2 is above Layer1. When I perform erase on Layer2, I see the stage background. I want to actually see Layer1 when I erase from Layer2.
Here is the code I used: The comment entry shows that, I have tried that possiblity.
import flash.display.BitmapData; var linkageId:String = "myimage"; var myBitmapData:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap(linkageId);
I am developing an application similar to MS Paint. I am building a Flash Paint application. The basic structure is this. I have two layers namely topLayer_mc and bottomLayer_mc. The actual vector drawing is drawn on the top layer and onmouseUp of the tool, a bitmap copy of the vector graphics on the top layer is taken and added as a bitmap to the bottom layer. The top layer is cleared subsequently. It is working for the pencil tool.
Now I need to create an eraser tool. This is where things get tricky. In the application there is an option to save the image as png, so alpha has top be preserved. So the coventional method of draw a brush using the vector and using the draw method of bitmap will not work. Of course, on a visual level it would work if the brush drawn using the vector is to have the same color as that of the background. The eraser's are rectangular in shape.
The technique I am tring to use is to use the copyChannel method of BitmapData class. Specify a channels (say GREEN channel )hex value as 00 and make it as the source. Then make the destination channel ALPHA. I got it working without using movieclips as shown below.
I have a flash template that I bought and customized with dreamweaver, flash and Coda html editor, the website test PERFECTLY when I test the index.html file, all of the buttons work fine, I have a total of 12 .flv videos and they ALL play back fine, when I play the index.html file, the problem occurs when I upload the files to my godaddy server, 11 of the videos play fine, the whole site is fine, it is one particular .flv file that will not play once it is uploaded to the server. I have changed the orders the video play, renamed the file and changed the html flv path to reflect the name change, I have deleted all the files off my server, refreshed the server logged out and re logged on and uploaded everything again, I have re-encoded the original .mov file to a .flv file again using Adobe media encoder, still nothing, I am wondering why would the index.html play this particular .flv file fine, but once uploaded to the server it will not play, the path is correct I have checked it, if the path were the problem the index.html for that particular file would not play when I test the index.html file before I upload it, but it plays fine until it is uploaded, I am uploading the whole folder on the root, and this particular video file is in a folder with all the rest of the .flv files, I even tried changing the path and putting this particular .flv file in a seperate folder and change the path still nothing.
I'm having two problems. First of all, the gallery loads all pictures at once. The more pictures in the XML file, the slower they all load. Secondly, I wanted the pictures to scroll in its _y coordinate, similar to Sugar Rhyme's website portfolio (see url]...).
I found that .fla files do not save in Flash CS4 when the Deco tool or Spray Brush tool is selected. Is this a bug? Or is there a workaround to this issue.
Working with senocular Transform Tool - How to remove/disable tool for objects Im new to AS3, and i have to use it for my current project. I have used the AS2 Transform tool extensively, but needless to say, the AS3 version works entirely differently. The way i understand it, the tool applies to and every Sprite , movieclip on stage
[URL] Take a look at that website. See whe you rollover one of the pictures, the other pictures fade out...Well how can I do that? I've tried some swapDepths techniques but it gets a bit confusing.
however i'm not able to use eraser, when i select the eraser shape and mode i can see a eraser moving over the area i actually want to erase, but in the end the layer is still there... i did search all criss cross the menu, cannot find, i'm sure it's something funny, how can i apply eraser fully?

I've made most of my application now, which allows the user to draw on a canvas, I'm just not sure on how I would go about creating a button which allows the user to switch to an eraser, or what code I would even use?
get the zip file which will be very helpfull. I made some screenshots in photoshop for help.
1). map jpg: That's the map
2). the map is covered with a black layer
3).the user changes (somehow) the _alpha property (before starting revealing the image) to -let's say- 60% and reveals with the eraser the path of the map up to some point.
4).the user sets the _alpha of the cover back to 100% in order to get the picture shown in the example.

I have everything ready to bring to the next stage and so i checked online to see what it's going to look like (expecting it to look the same as what it does on my desktop):Notice the words at the top there (they appear after you roll your mouse over the word menu).Now when it is uploaded it looks like:I made sure to have everything uploaded onto my serverspace and I don't understand why those little words disappear?

I've created a couple of little flash movies (for the first time) showing figures merging into one another. I imported the movies into Dreamweaver and when I tested them in my browser, they worked fine. However, now that I've uploaded all the pages/files for my client to look at, the movies don't work. Infact in one case it doesn't even appear.
I have created a flash movie with a video in it. I used a skin when I imported the video. It plays fine in Flash. When I export the .swf file and drag it into Dreamweaver the skin does not show up.Once in Dreaweaver I set the parameters to wmode_transparent.If so how do I go around it b/c I will need it transparent.
When I am testing these movies in flash (command return), and the files are on a local drive everything works fine. when I upload them to the server and test them in the browser they don't function. Not the same anyhow.
for example one will work fine, the next time i choose one I only see the loader bar progress, and if i try one that has already been tried nothing seems to happen, Is there something obviously wrong???
I made a flash website for a client and there is only ONE thing wrong with it. Everything works when I preview it in Adobe Flash Player. And I have it embedded in a Dreamweaver CS3 file, and when I preview it...it works. THEN when I upload it to the server, two of the INTERNAL links fail. I have two links that say "Behind the Camera" and "Contact". [URL] You can see when you click on either of the links, it just randomly skips ahead in the first scene. What I really want them to do is when you click Behind the Camera you go to Scene 2 and Contacts you go to Scene 3. I have coded everything correctly, because everything works when I preview it. But once I upload the .swf file to the server, those links fail.
The user uploads an image. After uploading is complete the image is displayed the screen. The user can select a particular pixel on the image. Accordingly the image should be removed of that color and made transparent. 1. i tried the getpixel and setpixel32 the image still is very blurr. 2. i also tried threshold its also of the same result - not able to see how to make the output of the image more crisp.
