ActionScript 3.0 :: Comparing And Matching Bitmaps Against An Array Of Saved Bitmaps
Jul 31, 2009I'm trying to figure out the best way to compare a single bitmap against perhaps an array of saved bitmaps to see how close of a match it may be to any one of the bitmaps stored in the array. Right now I'm running a for loop that uses the bitmapData.compare() method to try to compare to see how much of a variance there is but... to be honest I'm at a loss as to how to use the resulting data to do so. Does anyone know of any good method to accomplish what I am trying to do? Forget looking at my code it's a waste of time because simply, it's not working.
View 4 Replies[CS4/10.6.2] Windows Consoles Font Exploding On Mac
Dec 24, 2009I'm developing a Flash AIR app mostly on Windows Vista, but recently tried to do a little light editing on my MBP running Snow Leopard as I have access to the excellent jEdit text editor there. Unfortunately, the Windows Consolas font I have chosen for on-screen error messages, tool tips, etc seems to have issues with displaying properly in the Mac version of Flash CS4.
Consolas displays well in Flash CS4 editor mode (and other Mac apps like Text Edit), but as soon as I try and test the Flash file, the font basically explodes, drawing huge black triangles all over the screen. The app continues to work properly, but it's almost impossible to use as everything is covered in triangles. I tried clearing the font caches already as well as deleting the ASO files/test movie.

May 6, 2010I was wondering which method would be the most efficient (run faster)...Lets say I have multiple layering of animations, say a moving sky, then birds, then fireworks ordered respectively. Is better to have one bitmapdata (called BD) then do a copypixel of sky, then bird, then firework at every tick (I'm using a timer) and put it in one bitmap.
Or is it better to have 3 bitmaps (and put into 3 different sprites) with the animations separated, so when I update the birds I don't have to update the sky.share any knowledge on pros or cons of using multiple bitmaps vs using one bitmap in that situation. Aside for the increase of initial memory used.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Bitmaps Won't Smooth?
Nov 18, 2009I'm loading some external images and trying to get them to smooth, but for some reason it's not happening. i've been trying everything i can find on the internet over the past 10 hours or so, and nothing's worked.The code on my movieclip (first frame) is:
[code]...
my images are very high-res, so i know it isn't a resolution issue. anyway, they look crappy when they're sized down too. also, i'm pretty sure smoothing is the issue, because i have a very similar image in the library (a detail from the same shot, and similar resolution, etc.), and it looks great when i allow smoothing in the bitmap properties panel.
Quicker Way To Arrange Several Bitmaps
Dec 16, 2010I want to know if there is a faster way to take several bitmaps and arrange them one after another in a single layer in a movie clip.
This is how I am doing it currently.
Stage 1: Import the bitmaps to the stage
Stage 2: Distribute the bitmaps to layers
Stage 3: Make the first bitmap a movie clip symbol and cut the other bitmaps' frames
Stage 4: Go into the symbol, create a new layer, and paste the frames.
Stage 5: Click and drag the other frames into one layer, one after the other.
I now have a single movie clip with all my bitmaps ordered one after the other in the timeline.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Blenting Two Bitmaps Together?
Oct 28, 2011I have a Bitmap where I can draw on. After some seconds I want to let the drawing fade away and blend over to the original picture/bitmap. Can I do this with the blend mode by drawing the original bitmap on it? I tried something like this and of course it isn't right. Just copying the alpha channel if I get the documentation right.
dstBitmapData.draw(srcBitmap,null,null,BlendMode.ALPHA,null)
dstBitmap = new Bitmap(dstBitmapData);
I want to put some percentage to the destination bitmap. So that after doing this some frames the original picture will be visible. As the user can interrupt this by start drawing again I want to use the BitmapData object dstBitmapData.
ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Add 3D Bitmaps To 2D Game
Oct 20, 2009I wish to add some 3D bitmaps to my 2D game. Everything is currently drawn via copypixels into the only movieclip and that is rendered. Am I correct in that I need to create (for example) a sprite, add a bitmap to it, perform all my 3d transformations and then simply .draw the result into my bitmap? If so are there any simple examples of doing so, also what about camera, focal length, perspective etc. etc. Are they taken into account before the .draw?

IDE :: Add Bitmaps To The Stage Dynamically?
Feb 27, 2009I have a jpeg that I have exported to actionscript via the library. The jpeg class is "adcouncil". If I want to add it to the stage I would use the following code:
Code:
var adcouncil = new adcouncil1(150,150);
var myImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap(adcouncil)
printMC.addChild(myImage);
The problem is that I want to ad these Bitmaps to the stage dynamically. My first instinct is:
Code:
var adcouncil = new this["adcouncil1"](150,150);
var myImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap(adcouncil)
printMC.addChild(myImage);

When the last added Bitmaps get removed from the display list, the older ones start to reappear. Go here and check it out: http:[url].... draw 24 dots or whatever with the pencil tool (the only one that draws to a bitmap). You should notice that the 24th dot will cause the 1st one to disappear. Undoing (which simple removes the top bitmap/sprite) causes the 24th one to be removed (which is correct) but the 1st one also reappears which means its still there just not visible .Here are the relevant methods:

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Gradients In Bitmaps Affect CPU
Jan 20, 2012I'm confused by a tip in Adobe's own documentation that says:Avoid using gradients, because they require many colors and calculations to be processed, which is more difficult for a computer processor to render.I understand how this would be true in a vector shape fill, but they aren't specifying vector. It seems to be implied they include bitmaps too, since the next couple tips are bitmap related.If they do in fact include bitmaps in this tip, can someone explain to me how this is possibly true? In a bitmap a pixel is a pixel. I don't see how it matter that the pixels form a gradiated color or not, the software still has to read and write each pixel regardless.

I've gone through and optimized all my static bitmaps/movieClips and removed any symbol that I've exported for ActionScript from exporting in the first frame. Even after all these steps frame one is still the longest to load (797kb on a 32.6 kbps simulated download), only showing the preloader when the whole file is at 86% complete.

Actionscript 3 :: Comparing Two Bitmaps Against Each Other For Match?
Mar 25, 2011I'm trying to position an image on top of another image based upon the make-up of the smaller image. The smaller image is a cut-out of a larger image and I need it to be positioned exactly on the larger image to make it look like a single image, but allow for separate filters and alphas to be applied. As the images are not simple rectangles or circles, but complex satellite images, I cannot simply redraw them in code. I have quite a few images and therefore do not feel like manually finding the position of each image every and hard setting them manually in actionscript. Is there any way for me to sample a small 5-10 sq. pixel area against the larger image and set the x and y values of the smaller image if a perfect match is found? All the images are in an array and iterating through them has already been set, I just need a way to sample and match pixels. My first guess was to loop the images pixel by pixel right and down, covering the whole bitmap and moving to the next child in the array once a match was found, leaving the matched child where it was when the perfect match was found.

Actionscript :: Bitmaps Faster Than Vectors?
Apr 11, 2011I'm working on a project which draws circles continuously at framerate and animates them around the stage and I'm running into performance issues.
I'm already converting all objects to bitmapData as soon as they become static. My question is, will converting the circles to bitmapData as soon as they are drawn increase performance? In other words, is animating say, 200 bitmaps (with transparency) faster than 200 vector circles?
Are there any drawbacks to this technique? (I'm thinking opacity problems maybe?)
If they were more complex shapes than circles would the answer be different?
