ActionScript 3.0 :: Get Bitmap Child - Make A Color Map Inside Certain Symbols
Feb 8, 2010
I need a Bitmap to make a color map inside certain symbols. What I do is import the png file and export it to as3. After that I drag and drop it inside the Symbols that need it in the correct position. What I need to know is how to get a Bitmap child inside a symbol that belongs to a class if I can't set the instance name of that Bitmap. for ex: a Symbol of the class MyClass has an img exported as Class MyBitmapClass and Base Class flash.display.BitmapData. I want, through as3, to get this MyBitmapClass object.

I have a few buttons and when I make them a symbol, they look like crap.
Anyone know a trick to make symbols look as good as the imported bitmap?

I'm attempting to use CS4 (PC/Vista, if that matters) to create a SWF file that will basically act as a "library" of commonly used symbols. This SWF would be loaded at runtime by other SWFs, which could then use the symbols within it, including all art and code assets.

mHook -> mBottom -> hItemButton -> itemButton[a] -> itemButtonExp[a]
so i press another butoon, and retrieve a number 2, how do i access itemButton[2].itemButtonExp[2]? Coz i need to change the text field in there?
in AS2 i can access it directly by changing itemButtonExp[a].text, but how do i do it in AS3?

I'm looking to create an animation loop in Flash. The base character animation I have is 27 frames. However to have the background move at the correct speed, the entire animation is 432 frames.
Since I am making the animation so long anyway, I want the character to blink halfway through the animation loop. I went into the head symbol and extended its animation from a single frame to 432 frames. Halfway through that animation I swap out the image for one that is blinking (3 new images added for the blink).
So, now the symbols are nested like: 432 frames -> 27 frames -> 432 frames
But it doesn't seem like Flash is smart enough to animate it as I would expect. It only repeats the first 27 frames of the child symbol.
The next thing I tried was extending the 27 frame character animation out to 432 frames. I did this by copy-pasting the character animation 16 times. But this also does not work because copying the keyframes also copies the position of the child animation's playback. This causes the animation to constantly reset and never reach the blink.
I also tried using the copy motion option, but it didn't seem to do anything different than copying keyframes.Is there an easy way to make this animation work? I can't possibly need to manually position a total of 576 keyframes (there is actually another level to the nesting which does not use any tweens, just keyframes) could I?

I have been struggling with this with CS4 and CS5. I am working on an animation with a couple of characters comprised of several pngs I converted to symbols. When one characters symbols overlap another characters the swf file shows the stage color rather than the background image I have placed in the file. I can publish it as an html with the option of playing it windowless transparent and it will remove this problem. But I would like to just be able to play the swf file without this issue.

OK, heres the thing. Since i cannot stop the code from continuing while i', waiting for amf to send the data, i remember to put a simple rectangle with alpha 0 in front of the stage while waiting for amf to arrive, then remove it.
Since the amf call is done from another class. I don't know how to do this.

It dies every time on that last line. How do I refer to that vidThumbn instance so I can add the imageLoader? I don't know what I'm missing. It feels like it should work.

Apparently, in order to make a bitmap transparent, one has to convert it to 256 colors from 24. I'm not sure if Flash puts it in 24 or 256, but because I can't create a transparency when using Bitmap() in my code, and from what I see displayed on the screen, it would appear that it uses 24 colors. Perhaps this is to keep things light. Nonetheless, is it possible to convert it to 256 colors?

I've been messing around a bit with some low-level bitmap manipulation and having been creating some various color matrices to apply to bitmap data to add "filters" (for lack of a better term).I have seen a number of tutorials online in C# and AS3 about applying various color matrices to bitmaps, but was curious if anyone simply had a collection of these color matrices that map to specific filter styles (black and white, sepia, etc.).

I would like to extract the most common color of a bitmap. My first idea was to do this by looping through the bitmapData and extracting every pixel color and storing it in an array. But the function has to be as light as possible so my question is; Is there a more lightweight approach to achieve this? The function is used to extract background color of a Bitmap.

This may be stunningly simple (It certainly was in Director), but I just can't work it out in flash. I basically want any pixels of a certain color on an imported 24Bit (no alpha) Bitmap to appear transparent using AS3 (like a simple color mask, any black pixels are not drawn). threshold() only seems to work correctly on 32Bit BitmapData with alpha channel so the only way I've found so far is this craziness..

In Photoshop there is a tool that lets you adjust the levels of an image. I'd like to be able to do the same thing. I've seen examples online that show the levels but they are for each individual color channel (red, green, blue or alpha or CMYK) but not a combined view like in Photoshop Input Levels (see below).Also, as a bonus is there a way to find the best shadow and highlight input level settings, basically the settings the Auto level button determines?Update:I think I'm closer but I'm not sure. Here is the method I pieced together. The first image is my results and the second is Photoshop results both analyzing the Google logo:Update 2:Ok I think I got it. The code is below. It's mostly working all the time, mostly. Additional credits:Photoshops results:

I'm building a game that will be using a bitmap to render the environmental scene. the bitmap is a black image with little green squares to indicate x,y place holders for tree locations as i render the scene. i was thinking of looping thru each pixel to find green pixels but this proves to be a performance hit when the image is 2500x2500. then i found what i thought was a handy little method called BitmapData.getColorBoundsRect() that will locate the position of the green box. It does this but it returns me 1 rectangle of all the green boxes inside.

I have a bitmap with many colors on it. When the user clicks each color needs to trigger a different method. However, I have no idea how to check the color value of the selected bitmap. I can create a new sprite and check the value of that fine through bitmapdata.getpixel() but when I need to actually check the actual bitmap I cannot get it to work.
