ActionScript 3.0 :: Graphics Clear() Doesn't Clear Bitmap Data From BeginBitmapFill()?
Jul 30, 2011
I'm working on a game whose background has many layers that each scroll at different speeds.
Inside each layer I have a Sprite, I've started using graphics.beginBitmapFill, but what I've found is that the graphics.clear() function doesn't actually clear the contents set by the previous call to graphics.begin.BitmapFill. Each frame, I adjust the matrix to shift the layer as needed. Then, I call graphics.clear() and graphics.beginBitmapFill() with the adjusted matrix. Since my layers have alphas in the bitmap, I can see the contents that was drawn the previous frame.
i have a movieClip. On it i draw a few rundedRects, when i resize the window i use graphics.clear to remove it, and then reDraw the Rects. Will this result in memory leakages? or will flash reuse the memory address as long as i draw on the same sprite?
I am making a Flash CS5 application in which the user draws transparent overlays on a Sprite placed on top of an image. The user needs to be able to erase his input as in MS Paint, Adobe Photoshop, or GIMP. Because the Sprite is on top of an image, there is no safe clear color I can think of to draw over the section that the user has just rubbed his eraser over
I'm implementing a simple painting programm. Therefor I need something like a Graphics.clear() function, not for the whole Grahpics object, but for a small area only.I don't want to paint in white color instead, I just want to really clear the previously drawn lines and stuff.
I am drawing an animated angled line. The line follows a (senocular) path and updates using TweenMax. The line draws in and then 'retreats' out again. When the line retreats, I am left with 'chips' from the line graphic - even though I have used sprite.graphics.clear().
An example is will be clearer so I have uploaded one here:[URL]Allow the grey line to draw in and the red button to appear. Roll over and out the red button and you should see the small triangle artefacts from the highlighting left behind on the angle.I created a simplified?! version of the code in the hope that someone can point out an error:
EDIT: If I change the JointStyle to MITER in lineStyle, that fixes it but I am non the wiser and would prefer to use ROUND. END EDIT
I am trying to delete a single line using graphics.clear() method but it clears all the instance of lines created by lineTo() method. I want to remove a single line upon click from bunch of its multiple instance.
For a lot of my graphical assets I'm using the Flex embed metadata to embed bitmap objects as Classes and then instantiating them.
The problem is that it seems these never get garbage collected. I haven't found much info online but I've seen a couple of posts that seem to confirm this.
Anytime one of my classes gets instantiated that has these embedded assets, they always create new instances of the Bitmaps and BitmapDatas rather than reusing what's already in memory. This is a huge problem for memory. And I can't find any way of de-referenciong them or getting them to leave memory.
So the only solution I can think is to just load the graphics from disk rather than using the embed tag. But I'd rather not do this seeing as how when the app is packaged and installed, all of those graphcial assets will be on the end users computer rather than contained within the SWF.
can any of you point out if this code is wrong or do I have a bug in my Flash? It's sopposed to be a simple move function, called by an interval, and after reaching the border of the film, it's sopposed to stop. pretty simple, right? right, but theHere's the code I've used: (mcBall = 1 framed movieClip)
_root.onEnterFrame = function() { function fMoveIt():Void
i have used the setinterval in a module. i clear the inetrval each time i make it using a function in other class. on long time run the clear interval stops functioning.
I would like to know how to delete(clear) the existing list data values before binding new values. I'm using the list for binding data dynamically using http services. When I make a new call to the service, I want the exiting items to be flushed and bind the newly retrieved data to the same list. How can I achieve this?
I'm developing a mobile AIR application using IntelliJ.
When debugging in Flash Builder there is an option to clear to application data on each (debug) launch of the ADL (see screenshot below) However, I can't find this setting in IntelliJ or some ADL parameter to force a clear on each new debug session. I was wondering if such an option exist in IntelliJ or ADL.
A little background: I'm using the PersistanceManager in the application to store some user settings and I want to be able to start the application without the saved settings from my previous run. Using this setting in Flash Builder does the trick, but I'm having no luck with IntelliJ.
I have a as file which basically draws a box around the bottom of your mouth and I am using a beginFill () function for the box. Basically I need to replace this fill with a bitmap image using beginBitmapFill () command. The trouble is I cannot find any resources that show me how to make the bitmap image wether it be a movieclip or graphic.
I'm working on a game, and to keep performance good, instead of addChild'ing 50 new sprites to the stage every second, I decided to have each player draw to their own bitmap, and then to the 'master' bitmap. This introduces an issue though: the second player would override all data the first player has put into to bitmap...My basic debugging proof of concept:
I am creating a wizard-like form. At the end, I give the users an option to start over.At this point, I want to blank out all TextInput fields in the application.I wrote some code that does the trick, but I am wondering if there is a better way?
Code: private function clearText(obj:Object):void{ try{
I have a project I am working on in which I would like to teach how to cash a scratch off card. I have made the scratch and made it so it will "scratch", however my masking technique seems to not be working how it should...
The idea is that the user would "scratch" the card and then hit "Next" after that it would load a new frame (Progress Bar would move) and then do what they need to on that frame, and so on.
However it would seem that Flash is keeping the users "drawing" and still allows them to draw after the first frame, which is not what I want.[code]...
this might be a very simple thing to do, buuuut... I've got two UILoaders on my stage, when you click various buttons it makes various pics appear in them, I want to put a button on my main stage that would clear the images out of the UILoaders when it was clicked, and would just leave them blank. Is this possible?
I'm doing 3d gallery in AS3 and i have run in to huge problem. After ActionScript creates 3d sphere it doesnt go away no mater if i go forward or backwards in timeline.
At the moment I have Clock and if I start it a message appears just above the clock saying "Timer started" and if I press the stop or reset, another message appears saying "Timer stopped" or "Timer reset", the only problem with it is that the previous message(s) are still on the screen.
I have an example attached below. I am wondering is there any way to get the textfield to refresh/remove the previous message before showing the current one?
I've got a video page with an XML based playlist all contained in one swf. I can us flash vars to load in variables to the swf to make it play a specific video (eg.[URL]), if you would like to link directly to a video.Is there a way that when i than click to play another video from within the playlist, that it would also clear the variable from the URL? Or have it update the variable (so it would switch from ?vidID=13 to ?vidID=20 for example), and do so without reloading the swf? (the swf loads with a main video page, which lists new videos etc., and than you can choose videos from the playlist)Right now, when you direct link to a video, than choose another video to watch it keeps the same video ID within the URL... which can be a problem if people just copy the URL thinking that is the correct one.
it looks like the problem is that the interval has not been clear so every time i click away from my slide show (for example navigate to my contact swf) and then come back to the slide show the pictures keep looping on top of each other and fading at the wrong times too.
var id, current; var k = 0, p = 0; var slide = 1; function loadXML(loaded) {
I have two key frames on the Stage. The first one is empty; the actual movie starts from the second frame. Under some circumstances I have to clear everything on the stage and reload the movie. I remove all the movie clips and go back to the first frame. Unfortunately, it doesnt work with components. Can somebody tell me how I can remove everything from Stage? I tried btn.destroyObject(btn._name) but it seems it doesn�t work (the object cannot remove itself). And after several times I move back to the first frame, the components go broken
